Restated 1996 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Common Stock being registered hereunder is in addition to the 10,395,603 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan that were registered on the Registrant’s Form S-8s filed on December 18, 1998 (File No. 333-69165), June 25, 1999 (File No. 333-81593), July 27, 2000 (File No. 333-42340), April 6, 2001 (File No. 333-58420), and December 12, 2006 (File No. 333-139284), which are incorporated herein by reference (the “Prior Registration Statements”).

This Registration Statement relates to securities of the same class as that to which the Prior Registration Statements relate, and is submitted in accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8 regarding the registration of additional securities. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Registration Statement, except as amended hereby.

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, other than information in a report or document that is “furnished” and not “filed” pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC:

 

  A. The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2010;

 

  B. The Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on May 6, 2010;

 

  C. The Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, filed with the SEC on August 4, 2010;

 

  D. The Registrant’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 16, 2010, March 23, 2010, May 12, 2010, September 17, 2010, and September 24, 2010;

 

  E. All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since December 31, 2009; and

 

  F. The description of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, contained in the registration statement on Form 8-A/A (File No. 000-25131) filed with the SEC on June 5, 2009, pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

All documents filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act on or after the date of this Registration Statement, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that indicate that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such prior statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) makes provision for the indemnification of officers and directors of corporations in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify the officers and directors of a corporation under certain circumstances from liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Exchange Act. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the


corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The effect of this provision in the Charter is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and its stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws. The Charter also provides that any amendment or repeal of the right of indemnification provided under the Charter will not be adversely affected for acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

The Registrant’s Restated Bylaws, as amended (“Bylaws”), provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL and establish such right to be a contract right. The Bylaws also provide that expenses incurred by an officer or director of the Registrant (acting in his or her capacity as such) in defending any such action, suit, or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by the Registrant, subject to DGCL requirements. The Bylaws also provide that indemnification provided for in the Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled, and that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any such person against any such expenses, liability, and loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability, or loss under the DGCL or the Bylaws.

In addition, the Registrant has entered into contractual indemnification agreements with each director and certain officers of the Registrant, as designated by the Registrant’s Board of Directors, to indemnify such individuals to the full extent permitted by law. These agreements also address certain procedural and substantive matters that are not covered, or are covered in less detail, in the Bylaws or by the DGCL. The Registrant also provides indemnity insurance pursuant to which officers and directors are indemnified or insured against liability or loss under certain circumstances, which may include liability or related loss under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Exhibit 4.5

INFOSPACE, INC.

RESTATED 1996 FLEXIBLE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION LETTER AGREEMENT

(Nonemployee Director)

TO:                             (“Optionee”)

This Nonqualified Stock Option Letter Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of                             .

We are pleased to inform you that you have received a stock option (the “Option”) to purchase shares of the common stock (the “Option Shares”) of InfoSpace, Inc. (the “Company”) under the Company’s Restated 1996 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and in accordance with the Terms of the Amended and Restated Equity Grant Program for Nonemployee Directors.

The terms of the Option are as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. The Plan is incorporated by reference into this Agreement, which means that this Agreement is limited by and subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.

The most important terms of the Option are summarized as follows:

1. Grant Date:                             

2. Number of Option Shares:                             

3. Exercise Price: $             per share

4. Expiration Date:                              [seven-year anniversary of Grant Date]

5. Vesting Commencement Date:                              [Grant Date]

6. Type of Option: Nonqualified Stock Option.

7. The Option shall vest as follows: The Option shall vest in full (100%) on                              [one-year anniversary of Grant Date].

8. Exercisability: Any portion of the Option that is vested may be exercised at any time during the period prior to the date the Option terminates. No partial exercise of the Option may be for less than five percent (5%) of the total number of Option Shares then available under the Option. In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares.


9. Termination of Option: The unvested portion of the Option will terminate automatically and without further notice immediately upon termination (voluntary or involuntary) of your service as a director of the Company. The vested portion of the Option will terminate automatically and without further notice on the earliest of the dates set forth below:

a. three (3) months after termination of your service as a director of the Company for any reason other than disability (as defined below) or death;

b. one (1) year after termination of your service as a director of the Company by reason of disability or death;

c. ten (10) days after termination of your service as a director of the Company for cause (as defined below); or

d. the Expiration Date.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF THE DATE YOUR OPTION TERMINATES.

The term “disability” means a mental or physical impairment that is expected to result in death or that has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of twelve (12) months or more and that causes you to be unable, in the opinion of the Company, to perform your duties for the Company and to be engaged in any substantial gainful activity.

The term “cause” means dishonesty, fraud, misconduct, unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets, or conviction or confession of a crime punishable by law (except minor violations), in each case as determined by the Plan Administrator, and its determination will be conclusive and binding.

10. Method of Exercise: You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Option Shares for which you are exercising the Option. The written notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of Option Shares you are purchasing.

11. Form of Payment: You must pay the Option exercise price, in whole or in part, in cash, by check or, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, by (a) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price or (b) such other consideration as the Plan Administrator may permit.

12. Limited Transferability: During your lifetime only you can exercise the Option. The Option is not transferable except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Plan provides for exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the beneficiary thereof following your death.

 

Page 2


13. Registration: At the present time, the Company has an effective registration statement with respect to the Option Shares. The Company intends to maintain this registration but has no obligation to do so. In the event that such registration is no longer effective, you will not be able to exercise the Option unless exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws are available; such exemptions from registration are very limited and might be unavailable.

14. Successors: This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

15. No Stockholder Rights: Neither Optionee nor any person entitled to exercise Optionee’s rights in the event of his or her death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Option Shares subject to the Option, except to the extent the certificates for such Option Shares shall have been issued upon exercise of the Option.

16. Notice: Any notice required to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the office of the Company, 601 – 108th Avenue NE, Suite 1200, Bellevue, Washington, 98004, and any notice to be given to Optionee shall be addressed to Optionee at the address given beneath Optionee’s signature to this Agreement, or such other address as either party to this Agreement may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States.

17. Plan Administrator Decisions Conclusive: All decisions of the Plan Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be conclusive.

18. Washington Law: The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington.

Method of Exercise: You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Option Shares for which you are exercising the Option. The written notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of Option Shares you are purchasing.

12. Form of Payment: You may pay the Option exercise price, in whole or in part, in cash, by check or, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, by (a) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price, or (b) such other consideration as the Plan Administrator may permit.

13. Withholding Taxes: As a condition to the exercise of any portion of the Option that is treated as a nonqualified stock option, you must make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Company has the right to retain without notice a sufficient number of Option Shares to satisfy the withholding obligation. Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, you may satisfy the withholding obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Option Shares to be issued upon exercise that number of Option Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld.

14. Limited Transferability: During your lifetime only you can exercise the Option. The Option is not transferable except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Plan provides for exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the beneficiary thereof following your death.

15. Registration: At the present time, the Company has an effective registration statement with respect to the Option Shares. The Company intends to maintain this registration but has no obligation to do so. In the event that such registration is no longer effective, you will not be able to exercise the Option unless exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws are available; such exemptions from registration are very limited and might be unavailable.

16. Successors: This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

17. No Stockholder Rights: Neither Optionee nor any person entitled to exercise Optionee’s rights in the event of his or her death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Option Shares subject to the Option except to the extent the certificates for such Option Shares shall have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

18. Notice: Any notice required to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its Secretary, at the office of the Company at 601 - 108th Avenue NE, Suite 1200, Bellevue, Washington, 98004, and any notice to be given to Optionee shall be addressed to Optionee at the address given beneath Optionee’s signature to this Agreement, or such other address as either party to this Agreement may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States.

19. Plan Administrator Decisions Conclusive: All decisions of the Plan Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be conclusive.

20. Washington Law: The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Washington.

21. Employment Agreement; Conflicting Terms: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Plan, in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Option as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, as the case may be, and the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement dated as of                             , between the Company and Optionee, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”), the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall prevail unless the conflicting provision in this Agreement or in the Plan, as the case may be, is more favorable to Optionee; in which case, the provision more favorable to Optionee shall govern; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any extended exercise period set forth in the Employment Agreement modify or extend the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in this Agreement.

INFOSPACE, INC.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION LETTER AGREEMENT

TO:                                  (“Optionee”)

This Nonqualified Stock Option Letter Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of                                 .

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected by InfoSpace, Inc. (the “Company”) to receive a stock option (the “Option”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option Shares”) under the Company’s Restated 1996 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

The terms of the Option are as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. The Plan is incorporated by reference into this Agreement, which means that this Agreement is limited by and subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.

The most important terms of the Option are summarized as follows:

 

  1.    Grant Date:                                                     .

6.

   Type of Option:    Nonqualified Stock Option.

7. The Option shall vest as follows: 33.33% of the total Option shall vest on [the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date], and approximately 16.67% shall vest at the end of each six-month period thereafter, such that the Option shall be fully vested on [the three-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date].

8. Exercisability: Any portion of the Option that is vested may be exercised at any time during the period prior to the date the Option terminates. No partial exercise of the Option may be for less than five percent (5%) of the total number of Option Shares then available under the Option. In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares.


9. Termination of Option: The unvested portion of the Option will terminate automatically and without further notice immediately upon termination (voluntary or involuntary) of your employment or service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates. The vested portion of the Option will terminate automatically and without further notice on the earliest of the dates set forth below:

a. three (3) months after termination of your employment or service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates for any reason other than disability (as defined below) or death;

b. one (1) year after termination of your employment or service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates by reason of disability or death;

c. ten (10) days after termination of your employment or service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates for cause (as defined below); or

d. the Expiration Date.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF THE DATE YOUR OPTION TERMINATES.

The term “disability” means a mental or physical impairment that is expected to result in death or that has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of twelve (12) months or more and that causes you to be unable, in the opinion of the Company, to perform your duties for the Company or any of its Affiliates and to be engaged in any substantial gainful activity.

The term “cause” means dishonesty, fraud, misconduct, unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets, or conviction or confession of a crime punishable by law (except minor violations), in each case as determined by the Plan Administrator, and its determination will be conclusive and binding.

10. Leave of Absence: The effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the terms and conditions of the Option will be determined by the Plan Administrator and subject to applicable laws. Unless otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator, the Option will cease vesting during the time Optionee is on a leave of absence, and such vesting will not resume until the date that Optionee returns to work.

11. Method of Exercise: You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Option Shares for which you are exercising the Option. The written notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of Option Shares you are purchasing.

12. Form of Payment: You may pay the Option exercise price, in whole or in part, in cash, by check or, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, by (a) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price, or (b) such other consideration as the Plan Administrator may permit.

13. Withholding Taxes: As a condition to the exercise of any portion of the Option that is treated as a nonqualified stock option, you must make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.

The Plan provides for exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the beneficiary thereof following your death.

15. Registration: At the present time, the Company has an effective registration statement with respect to the Option Shares. The Company intends to maintain this registration but has no obligation to do so. In the event that such registration is no longer effective, you will not be able to exercise the Option unless exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws are available; such exemptions from registration are very limited and might be unavailable.

16. Successors: This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

17. No Stockholder Rights: Neither Optionee nor any person entitled to exercise Optionee’s rights in the event of his or her death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Option Shares subject to the Option except to the extent the certificates for such Option Shares shall have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

2. Company’s Obligation. Each Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the vesting date. Unless and until the RSUs vest, the Director will have no right to receive Shares under such RSUs.

The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

12. Plan Governs. This Agreement and the Notice of Grant are subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

The Company hereby grants to the employee listed on the Notice of Grant (the “Employee”) an award of RSUs, as set forth in the Notice of Grant and subject to the terms and conditions in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

2. Company’s Obligation. Each Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the vesting date. Unless and until the RSUs vest, the Employee will have no right to receive Shares under such RSUs. Prior to actual distribution of Shares pursuant to any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

3. Vesting Schedule. Subject to paragraph 4, to Plan Section 16 and to any other relevant Plan provisions, the RSUs awarded by this Agreement will vest in the Employee according to the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant. The effect of a Company-approved unpaid leave of absence on the terms and conditions of the RSUs will be determined by the Plan Administrator and subject to applicable laws. Unless otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator, the vesting dates for the RSUs will be postponed by an amount of time equal to the amount time of the Employee’s approved unpaid leave of absence.

4. Forfeiture upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, if the Employee terminates service as an employee for any or no reason prior to vesting, the unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company.

5. Payment after Vesting. Any RSUs that vest in accordance with paragraph 3 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares on, or as soon as practicable after, the applicable vesting date (but in any event, by the fifteenth day of the third month following the tax year in which the RSUs vest) provided that, to the extent determined appropriate by the Company, the minimum statutorily required federal, state and local withholding taxes with respect to such RSUs will be paid by reducing the number of vested RSUs actually paid to the Employee.

6. Payments after Death. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.


7. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee or the Employee’s broker.

8. No Effect on Employment. The Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. Accordingly, the terms of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates will be determined from time to time by the Company or the Affiliates employing the Employee (as the case may be), and the Company or the Affiliates will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause or notice.

9. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at 601 108th Avenue NE, Ste. 1200, Bellevue, WA 98004; Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing or electronically.

10. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in paragraph 6, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

11. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

12. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Employee (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

13. Plan Governs. This Agreement and the Notice of Grant are subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

14. Plan Administrator Authority. The Plan Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any RSUs have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Plan Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Plan Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
