Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

This Indemnity Agreement, dated             , 20    , is made between The Active Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (the “Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

A. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of talented and experienced individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and wishes to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law;

B. The Company and Indemnitee recognize that corporate litigation in general has subjected directors and officers to expensive litigation risks;

C. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, under which the Company is organized (“Section 145”), empowers the Company to indemnify its directors and officers by agreement and to indemnify persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as the directors and officers of other corporations or enterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 145 is not exclusive;

D. Section 145(g) allows for the purchase of management liability (“D&O”) insurance by the Company, which in theory can cover asserted liabilities without regard to whether they are indemnifiable or not;

E. Individuals considering service or presently serving expect to be extended market terms of indemnification commensurate with their position, and that entities such as Company will endeavor to maintain appropriate D&O insurance; and

F. In order to induce Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company and/or one or more subsidiaries of the Company, the Company and Indemnitee enter into this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the Indemnitee and the Company hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a) “Agent” means any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or is or was serving at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests of such predecessor corporation.

 

1


(b) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c) A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing a majority of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board, together with any new directors whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board, (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets with or to another entity, other than a merger, consolidation or asset sale that would result in the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving or successor entity outstanding immediately thereafter, or (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company.

(d) “Expenses” shall include all out-of-pocket costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements), actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, or Section 145 or otherwise; provided, however, that “Expenses” shall not include any judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, or amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding.

(e) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in relevant matters of corporation law and neither currently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (ii) any other party to or witness in the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

2


(f) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, claim, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding whether formal or informal, civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, including any such investigation or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Corporation or its Board of Directors, in which Indemnitee is or reasonably may be involved as a party or target, that is associated with Indemnitee’s being an Agent of the Corporation.

(g) “Subsidiary” means any corporation of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and one or more other subsidiaries, or by one or more other subsidiaries.

2. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as an Agent of the Company, at its will (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists), in the capacity the Indemnitee currently serves as an Agent of the Company, so long as the Indemnitee is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or until such time as the Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation in writing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create any right to continued employment by the Indemnitee.

3. Liability Insurance.

(a) Maintenance of D&O Insurance. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Indemnitee shall continue to serve as an Agent of the Company and thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was an Agent of the Company, the Company, subject to Section 3(c), shall promptly obtain and maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in reasonable amounts from established and reputable insurers, as more fully described below. In the event of a Change in Control, the Company shall, as set forth in Section (c) below, either: i) maintain such D&O Insurance for six years; or ii) purchase a six year tail for such D&O Insurance.

(b) Rights and Benefits. In all policies of D&O Insurance, the Indemnitee shall qualify as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s independent directors (as defined by the insurer) if the Indemnitee is such an independent director; of the Company’s non-independent directors if the Indemnitee is not an independent director; of the Company’s officers if the Indemnitee is an officer of the Company; or of the Company’s key employees, if the Indemnitee is not a director or officer but is a key employee.

(c) Limitation on Required Maintenance of D&O Insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain D&O Insurance at all, or of any type, terms, or amount, if the Company determines in good faith that: such insurance is not reasonably available; the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided; the coverage provided by such insurance is limited so as to provide an insufficient or unreasonable benefit; the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary of the Company; the Company is to be acquired and a tail policy of

 

3


reasonable terms and duration can be purchased for pre-closing acts or omissions by the Indemnitee; or the Company is to be acquired and D&O Insurance can be maintained by the acquirer that covers pre-closing acts and omissions by the Indemnitee.

4. Mandatory Indemnification. Subject to the terms of this Agreement:

(a) Third Party Actions. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such Proceeding, provided the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

(b) Derivative Actions. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such Proceeding, provided the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification under this Section 4(b) shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) Actions where Indemnitee is Deceased. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, and if, prior to, during the pendency of or after completion of such Proceeding the Indemnitee is deceased, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators against all Expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever to the extent the Indemnitee would have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement were the Indemnitee still alive.

(d) Certain Terminations. The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue, or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

4


(e) Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever for which payment is actually made to or on behalf of the Indemnitee under an insurance policy, or under a valid and enforceable indemnity clause, by-law or agreement.

(f) Witness. In the event that Indemnitee is not a party or threatened to be made a party to a Proceeding, but is subpoenaed in such a Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company, or by reason of anything witnessed by the Indemnitee in that capacity, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against i) all out-of-pocket costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements), actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in responding to such subpoena; and ii) if Indemnitee is a former Agent of the Company at that time and is employed elsewhere, reasonable reimbursement for Indemnitee’s time spent testifying and meeting with Company counsel prior to such testimony solely to prepare for such testimony, at a rate based on Indemnitee’s compensation at such employment, but not to exceed $900 per hour.

5. Indemnification for Expenses in a Proceeding in Which the Indemnitee is Wholly or Partly Successful.

(a) Successful Defense. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding (including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the Company) in which the Indemnitee was a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company at any time, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such Proceeding.

(b) Partially Successful Defense. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is a party to any Proceeding (including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the Company) in which the Indemnitee was a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company at any time and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.

(c) Dismissal. For purposes of this section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than statutory limitations, then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the

 

5


Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this section were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

6. Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and following notice pursuant to Section 7(a) below, the Company shall advance all Expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company (unless there has been a final determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification for such Expenses) upon receipt satisfactory documentation supporting such Expenses. By execution of this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees to repay the amount advanced only in the event and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification by the Company to the extent set forth in this agreement and under Delaware law. Such advances are intended to be an obligation of the Company to the Indemnitee hereunder and shall in no event be deemed to be a personal loan. Such advancement of Expenses shall otherwise be unsecured and without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefore by the Indemnitee to the Company. In the event that the Company fails to pay Expenses as incurred by the Indemnitee as required by this paragraph, Indemnitee may seek mandatory injunctive relief (including without limitation specific performance) from any court having jurisdiction to require the Company to pay Expenses as set forth in this paragraph. If Indemnitee seeks mandatory injunctive relief pursuant to this paragraph, it shall not be a defense to enforcement of the Company’s obligations set forth in this paragraph that Indemnitee has an adequate remedy at law for damages.

7. Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice by Indemnitee. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company in writing of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.

 

6


(b) Insurance. If the Company receives notice pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof of the commencement of a Proceeding that may be covered under D&O Insurance then in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.

(c) Defense. In the event the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel selected by the Company and approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of the Company’s election so to do. After delivery of such notice, and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (i) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in any such Proceeding at the Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in any such Proceeding at the Company’s expense if (A) the Company has authorized the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee at the expense of the Company, (B) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding. In addition to all the requirements above, if the Company has D&O Insurance, or other insurance, with a panel counsel requirement that may cover the matter for which indemnity is claimed by Indemnitee, then Indemnitee shall use such panel counsel or other counsel approved by the insurers, unless there is an actual conflict of interest posed by representation by all such counsel, or unless and to the extent Company waives such requirement in writing. The Indemnitee and its counsel shall provide reasonable cooperation with such insurer on request of the Company.

8. Right to Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification. In the event that Section 5(a) is inapplicable, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement unless, and except to the extent that, it shall have been determined by one of the methods listed in Section 8(b) that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.

(b) Determination of Right to Indemnification. A determination of the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Section 8 shall be made at the election of the Board by (i) a majority vote of directors who are not parties to the Proceeding for which indemnification is being sought, even though less than a quorum, or by a committee consisting of directors who are not parties to the Proceeding for which indemnification is being sought, who, even though less than a quorum, have been designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, or (ii) if there are no such disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. However, in the event there has been a Change in Control, then the determination shall, at Indemnitee’s sole option, be made by Independent Counsel as in (b)(ii), above, with Indemnitee choosing the Independent Counsel subject to Company’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

7


(c) Submission for Decision. As soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, the Board shall select the method for determining the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person or persons or entity making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel or member of the Board shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) Application to Court. If (i) a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses is denied, in whole or in part, (ii) no disposition of such claim is made by the Company within ninety (90) days after the request therefore, (iii) the advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery, the court in which the Proceeding is or was pending, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of enforcing the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification (including the advancement of Expenses) pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Expenses Related to the Enforcement or Interpretation of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all reasonable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving the Indemnitee, and against all reasonable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement, if and to the extent the Indemnitee is successful. To the extent Indemnitee is awarded relief on any Expense, that Expense shall be subject to 10% prejudgment interest from the date the invoice detailing that Expense was provided to the Company.

(f) In no event shall Indemnitee’s right to indemnification (apart from advancement of Expenses) be determined prior to a final adjudication in the Proceeding at issue if the Proceeding is both ongoing, and of the nature to have a final adjudication.

(g) In any proceeding to determine Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification or advancement, with the burden of proof on the Company to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence (or higher standard if required by relevant law) that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

(h) Indemnitee shall be fully indemnified for those matters where, in the performance of his duties for the Company, he relied in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Company’s officers or employees, or committees of the board of directors, or by any other person as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believed were within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who was selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company.

 

8


(i) The knowledge or actions, or failure to act, or any director, officer, agent, or employee of the Corporation, or the Corporation itself, shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights hereunder.

9. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated:

(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, with a reasonable allocation where appropriate, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the Proceeding was authorized by the Board, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the General Corporation Law of Delaware or (iv) the Proceeding is brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 in advance of a final determination;

(b) Fees on Fees. To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by the Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, to the extent Indemnitee is not successful in such a Proceeding;

(c) Unauthorized Settlements. To indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding unless the Company consents to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(d) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify the Indemnitee for Expenses and the payment of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

(e) Payments Contrary to Law. To indemnify or advance Expenses to the Indemnitee for which payment is prohibited by applicable law.

10. Non-Exclusivity. The provisions for indemnification and advancement of Expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements, or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while occupying the Indemnitee’s position as an Agent of the Company. The Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased acting as an Agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.

11. Permitted Defenses. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim for indemnification is made under this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses pursuant to Section 6 hereof, provided that the required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification because of the

 

9


limitations set forth in Sections 4 and 9 hereof. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors) or an Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such enforcement action that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors) or an Independent Counsel that such indemnification is improper, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

12. Subrogation. In the event the Company is obligated to make a payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery under any insurance policy or any other indemnity agreement covering the Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents reasonably required and take all action that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights (provided that the Company pays the Indemnitee’s costs and expenses of doing so), including without limitation by assigning all such rights to the Company or its designee to the extent of such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.

13. Information Sharing. If the Indemnitee is the subject of or is implicated in any investigation, whether formal or informal, by a government or regulatory entity or agency, the Company shall provide to Indemnitee any information provided to the investigating entity concerning the investigation; provided, that by executing this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees to use such information solely in connection with the defense of such investigation and if Indemnitee is no longer serving as a Director or employed by the Corporation, Indemnitee shall at the Corporation’s request execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of the confidentiality agreement in effect while such Indemnitee was a Director or employed by the Corporation.

14. Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or liability insurance provided by a third-party investor and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort, i.e., its obligations to the Indemnitee under this Agreement and any indemnity provisions set forth in its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or elsewhere (collectively, “Indemnity Arrangements”) are primary, and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee is secondary and excess, (ii) it shall advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to the extent legally permitted and as required by any Indemnity Arrangement, without regard to any rights the Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind arising out of or relating to any Indemnity Arrangement. The Company further agrees that no advancement or indemnification payment by any Fund Indemnitor on behalf of the Indemnitee shall affect the foregoing, and the Fund Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and the Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 14. The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its insurers to the extent allowed by the policies, waives subrogation rights against Indemnitee.

15. Survival of Rights.

(a) All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an Agent of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was serving in the capacity referred to herein.

(b) The Company shall require any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

16. Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary.

17. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable and to give effect to Section 14 hereof.

18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in a writing signed by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

19. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt, or (d) on the same day as delivered by confirmed facsimile transmission if delivered during business hours or on the next successive business day if delivered by confirmed facsimile transmission after business hours.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Re: Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement

The Active Network, Inc. (the “Company”) considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continuous employment of the Company’s key management personnel. In this regard, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility of a change in control of the Company may exist in the future and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management could result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board has decided to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including yourself, to their assigned duties without the distraction arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company.

In order to induce you to remain in its employ, the Company hereby agrees that after this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) has been fully executed, you shall receive the benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event that your employment with the Company is terminated under the circumstances described below subsequent to a Change in Control (as defined below).

1. Change in Control. You shall receive no benefits under this Agreement unless there has been a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean and include each of the following:

(a) A transaction or series of transactions (other than an offering of the Company’s common stock to the general public through a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) whereby any “person” or related “group” of “persons” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a “person” that, prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company) directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition; or


(b) The consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iii) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case other than a transaction:

(A) Which results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and

(B) After which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group will be treated for purposes of this definition as beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation of the transaction; or

(c) The Company’s stockholders approve a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

The Board will have full and final authority, which will be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control of the Company has occurred pursuant to the above definition, and the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following events shall not constitute a “Change in Control”: (i) a mere reincorporation of the Company; (ii) a transaction undertaken for the sole purpose of creating a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportion by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction; (iii) the Company’s (or any successor entity’s) initial public offering of its equity securities; or (iv) a transaction effected primarily for the purpose of financing the Company with cash (as determined by the Board in its discretion and without regard to whether such transaction is effectuated by a merger, equity financing or otherwise).

2. Severance Benefits

(a) Benefits Upon Termination. If a Change in Control occurs and your employment is terminated voluntarily by you for Good Reason (as defined below) within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of such Change in Control, or if your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined below) at any time, then, in lieu of any severance benefits to which you may otherwise be entitled under any severance plan or program of the Company, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided below:

(i) the Company shall, on the date of termination, pay to you your full earned but unpaid base salary, when due, through the date of termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of termination is given, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation plan or practice of the Company at the time such payments are due;

(ii) subject to your compliance with Section 2(b) and Section 3, you shall be entitled to receive severance pay equal to your monthly Base Salary (as defined below) for a period of twelve (12) months, payable in a lump sum within fifteen (15) days of the Release Effective Date (as defined below). Your “Base Salary” will be the rate of your base salary from the Company as in effect on the date of your discharge from employment with the Company (or, if greater, the rate of your base salary from the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control);


(iii) subject to your compliance with Section 2(b) and Section 3, if you elect continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the portion of the premiums of your group health insurance coverage, including coverage for your eligible dependents, that exceeds the contributions required by you immediately prior to your date of termination for a period of twelve (12) months following your date of termination; provided, further, that the Company will pay premiums for your eligible dependents only for coverage for which those eligible dependents were enrolled immediately prior to the date of termination of your employment. No premium payments will be made following the effective date of your eligibility for coverage by a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer. For the balance of the period that you are entitled to coverage under federal COBRA law, if any, you will be entitled to maintain such coverage at your own expense;

(iv) subject to your compliance with Section 2(b) and Section 3, with respect to the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Cause and other than within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of a Change in Control, the vesting and/or exercisability of such number of Stock Awards that would vest over the twelve (12) month period following your date of termination had you remained continuously employed by the Company through such period shall be automatically accelerated as of your date of termination. For purposes of this Section 2(a), “Stock Awards” means all stock options, restricted stock and such other awards granted pursuant to the Company’s stock option and equity incentive award plans or agreements and any shares of stock issued upon exercise thereof;

(v) subject to your compliance with Section 2(b) and Section 3, with respect to the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Cause or the termination of your employment by you for “Good Reason” within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of a Change in Control, one hundred percent (100%) of the unvested Stock Awards shall be automatically accelerated as of your date of termination;

(vi) you shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to your target annual bonus for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs, with such bonus determined assuming that all of the performance objectives for such fiscal year have been attained, prorated based on the number of days during such fiscal year you were employed by the Company; and(vii) subject to certain limited exceptions, your Stock Awards shall remain exercisable for a period of one year following the termination date.

(b) Release. Prior to the payment of any benefits under this Agreement, you will be required to execute a release (the “Release”) in the form attached hereto and incorporated herein as Appendix A or Appendix B, as applicable. Such Release will specifically relate to all of your rights and claims in existence at the time of the execution thereof and will confirm your obligations under the Company’s standard form of employee confidentiality and inventions agreement. As specified in the applicable Release, you will have a certain number of calendar days to consider whether to execute such Release, and you may revoke such Release within seven (7) calendar days after execution, if applicable. You must execute the Release and not revoke the Release in order to be entitled to benefits under this Agreement. Your “Release Effective Date” will be the later of (i) the day upon which you execute the Release or (ii) the day upon which the seven (7) day revocation period applicable to such Release, if any, expires without a revocation of such Release by you. Your Release Effective Date must be within fifty-five (55) days following the date of your termination of employment. If your Release Effective Date does not occur within fifty-five (55) days of your termination of employment, you will not be entitled to benefits under this Agreement.


(c) No Mitigation. Subject to Section 2(a)(iii) above, you shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 2 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 2 be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amounts (other than loans or advances to you by the Company) claimed to be owed by you to the Company, or otherwise.

(d) Definition of Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) your gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, personal dishonesty, recklessness or willful misconduct with respect to your obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (ii) the material breach of any agreement between you and the Company, including Company policies and practices; (iii) your conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; or (iv) your willful neglect of duties or failure to satisfactorily perform stated duties, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board.

(e) Definition of Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions without your written consent:

(i) a material diminution in your base compensation (and you and the Company hereby agree that a diminution of your base compensation of at least ten percent (10%) shall be required for such change to be considered a material diminution);

(ii) a material change in the geographic location at which you must perform your duties (and you and the Company hereby agree that a requirement that you be based at any place outside of at least a 30-mile radius of your place of employment as of the date of this agreement, except for reasonably required travel on the Company’s business, shall be required for such change to be considered a material change);

(iii) a material diminution in your authority, duties or responsibilities; or

(iv) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company or any successor or affiliate of its obligations to you under this Agreement.

You must provide written notice to the Company of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or conditions without your written consent within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event. The Company or any successor or affiliate shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cure such event or condition after receipt of written notice of such event from you. Any voluntary termination of your employment for “Good Reason” following such thirty (30) day cure period must occur no later than the date that is three (3) months following the initial occurrence of one of the foregoing events or conditions without your written consent.

(f) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of your employment by the Company or by you (other than termination due to your death, which shall terminate your employment automatically) shall be communicated by a written notice of termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 5.


(g) Other Terminations. If your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by you without Good Reason, as a result of your death or disability, or if your employment is terminated for any reason prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than twelve (12) months following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall not have any other or further obligations to you under this Agreement (including any financial obligations).

3. Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. You acknowledge that you have executed and are subject to the provisions of the Company’s standard Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the “Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement”), which agreement is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Noncompetition. While you are employed by the Company, you agree that you will not conduct business with any competitor of the Company, whether such business is conducted by you individually or as a principal, partner, member, stockholder, director, trustee, officer, employee or independent contractor.

(c) Nonsolicitation. While you are employed by the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of your termination of employment with the Company, you agree that you will not in any manner, directly or indirectly (without the prior written consent of the Company) employ or solicit for employment for himself or any other business entity (other than the Company) any individual who was, during the period of your employment with the Company or the twelve (12) month period following the date of your termination of employment, an employee, officer, agent or representative of the Company.

(d) Remedies. If you breach or threaten to commit a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall have the right to cease all payments and benefits to you under Section 2, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.

(e) Severability. If any court determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 3, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the covenants set forth in this Section 3 shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any court determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 3, or any part thereof, are unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. You hereby waive any and all right to attack the validity of the covenants set forth in this Section 3 on the grounds of the breadth of their geographic scope or the length of their term.

4. Successors; Binding Agreement. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise, “Company” as used herein shall mean the Company as defined in this Agreement and any


successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by you and your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

5. Notices. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of its General Counsel, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

6. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.

7. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9. Entire Agreement. Except with respect to the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units (Performance Vesting) in connection with the Stock Awards granted on May 23, 2012 and August 28, 2012 (the “Grant Notice”), this Agreement and the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the payment of severance and the other matters described herein and supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto, and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the payment of severance, is hereby terminated and cancelled. Any of your rights hereunder shall be in addition to any rights you may otherwise have under benefit plans or agreements of the Company (other than severance plans or agreements) to which you are a party or in which you are a participant, including, but not limited to, any Company sponsored employee benefit plans and stock options plans and any retention bonus agreements. The provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way abrogate your rights under such other plans and agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Grant Notice, the terms of the Grant Notice shall supersede the terms of this Agreement.


10. At-Will Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (a) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company, (b) constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or (c) interfere in any way with the at-will nature of your employment with the Company.

11. Arbitration; Dispute Resolution, Etc. Unless otherwise provided herein, in the event that there shall be a dispute (a “Dispute”) among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, the parties agree that such dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in San Diego County, California, administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the AAA (the “Rules”). If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, one shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either of the parties. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance. The Company will pay the direct costs and expenses of the arbitration. You and the Company are responsible for your respective attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with enforcing this Agreement; however, you and the Company agree that, to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party; provided, further, that the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for such fees within forty-five (45) days following any such award, but in no event later than the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees were incurred; provided, further, that the parties’ obligations pursuant to this sentence shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of your termination of employment. This Section 11 is intended to be the exclusive method for resolving any and all claims by the parties against each other for payment of damages under this Agreement or relating to your employment; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor the submission to arbitration shall limit the parties’ right to seek provisional relief, including without limitation, injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. Seeking any such relief shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to compel arbitration. Both you and the Company expressly waive your rights to a jury trial.

12. Code Section 409A.

(a) The compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement, including without limitation the severance benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement, are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to you pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be made in reliance upon Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (with respect to separation pay plans) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (with respect to short-term deferrals). To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. If the Company and you determine that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be or become subject to Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and you agree to amend this Agreement or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take such other actions as the Company and you deem necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided with respect to this Agreement, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury guidance.


(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any payments to you pursuant to Section 2(a) are treated as non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then (i) no amount shall be payable pursuant to such section unless your termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” with the Company (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and any successor provision thereto) (a “Separation from Service”), and (ii) if at the time of your Separation from Service you are a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to you) until the date that is at least six (6) months following your Separation from Service (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code); provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize such deferral and the dollar amount of payments or benefits so impacted.

13. Survival. The respective obligations and benefits afforded to the Company and you as provided in Sections 2 (to the extent that payments or benefits are owed as a result of a termination of employment that occurs during the term of this Agreement), 3, 4, 6, 11 and 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

I hereby for myself, and my heirs, agents, executors, successors, assigns and administrators (collectively, the “Related Parties”), intending to be legally bound, do hereby REMISE, RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, joint ventures, and its and their officers, directors, shareholders, employees, predecessors, and partners, and its and their respective successors and assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators (collectively, “Releasees”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims and demands whatsoever in law or in equity, which I ever had, now have, or hereafter may have, or which the Related Parties may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company or any predecessor to the date of this Release, and particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to my employment relationship with the Company or any predecessor, the terms and conditions of that employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship, including, but not limited to, any claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), as amended, 29 U.S.C. ss. 621 et seq., the Older Worker’s Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. ss. 626(f)(1), Title VII of The Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. ss. 2000e et seq., the Civil Rights Act of 1871, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 12101 – 12213, the Rehabilitation Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”), 29 U.S.C. ss. 2601 et seq., the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, and any other claims under any federal, state or local common law, statutory, or regulatory provision, now or hereafter recognized, and any claims for attorneys’ fees and costs, but not including such claims to vested or accrued payments, benefits and other rights provided to me under the Agreement and any employee benefit plan of the Company in which I am a participant. This Release is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, implied or express contract or discrimination of any sort. Except as specifically provided herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that this Release will operate as a clear and unequivocal waiver by me of any claim for accrued or unpaid wages, benefits or any other type of payment other than as provided under the Agreement and any employee benefit plan of the Company in which I am a participant.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

I further agree and recognize that I have permanently and irrevocably severed my employment relationship with the Company and that the Company has no obligation to employ me in the future.

The parties agree and acknowledge that the Agreement, and the settlement and termination of any asserted or unasserted claims against the Releasees pursuant to the Agreement, are not and will not be construed to be an admission of any violation of any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or of any duty owed by any of the Releasees to me.

I certify and acknowledge as follows:

(a) That I have read the terms of this Release, and that I understand its terms and effects, including the fact that I have agreed to RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE all Releasees from any legal action or other liability of any type related in any way to the matters released pursuant to this Release other than as provided in the Agreement and in this Release;

(b) That I have signed this Release voluntarily and knowingly in exchange for the consideration described herein, which I acknowledge is adequate and satisfactory to me and which I acknowledge is in addition to any other benefits to which I am otherwise entitled;

(c) That I have been and am hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release;

(d) That I do not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date this Release is executed;

(e) That neither the Company, nor any of its trustees, managers, employees, or attorneys, has made any representations to me concerning the terms or effects of this Release other than those contained herein;

(f) That I have not filed, and will not hereafter file, any claim against the Company relating to my employment and/or cessation of employment with the Company, or otherwise involving facts that occurred on or prior to the date that I have signed this Release, other than a claim that the Company has failed to pay me the severance payments or benefits due under the Agreement or any employee benefit plan of the Company in which I am a participant;


(g) That if I commence, continue, join in, or in any other manner attempt to assert any claim released herein against the Company, or otherwise violate the terms of this Release, (i) I will cease to have any further rights to severance payments or benefits from the Company, and (ii) I will be required to return any severance payments or benefits made to me by the Company (together with interest thereon); and

(h) I acknowledge that I may later discover facts different from or in addition to those which I know or believe to be true now, and I agree that, in such event, this Release will nevertheless remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery of those facts.

I agree that neither I nor anyone acting by, through, under or in concert with me shall disparage or otherwise communicate negative statements or opinions about the Company, its directors, officers, employees or business. Except as may be required by law, neither I, nor any member of my family, nor anyone else acting by, through, under or in concert with me, will disclose to any individual or entity (other than my legal or tax advisors) the terms of the Agreement or this Release.

This Release may not be introduced in any legal or administrative proceeding, or other similar forum, except one concerning a breach of this Release.

This Release and the Agreement constitute the complete understanding between me and the Company concerning the subject matter hereof. No other promises or agreements will be binding unless signed by me and an authorized officer of the Company.

In the event that any provision or portion of this Release will be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions or portions of this Release will be unaffected thereby and will remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will survive termination of this Release to the extent necessary for the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

This Release will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to the principles of conflict of law.


FOR EMPLOYEES AGE 40 OR OLDER ONLY:
