4. Adjustments

The Award, including the applicable performance goals, shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Plan, as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board (with Executive recusing himself from any such Board determination) in a reasonable, good faith manner designed to be consistent with the underlying principles and overall intent and thrust of the arrangements entered into on the date of this Agreement, including (a) this Agreement, (b) the Voting Agreement and (c) the Employment Agreement.

Subject to Executive’s satisfaction of the tax obligations described immediately below under “Taxes and Withholding,” and the requirements of Section 3(b) of this Agreement, evidence of the removal of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock that have vested under this Agreement shall be provided to Executive as soon as practicable following the date on which the restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock have lapsed.

6. Taxes and Withholding

No later than the date as of which an amount in respect of any portion of the Award first becomes includible in Executive’s gross income for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes, IAC or its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates shall deduct any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount due to Executive by reducing the number of shares of IAC Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. In the event shares of IAC Common Stock are deducted to cover tax withholdings, the number of shares of IAC Common Stock withheld shall generally have a value based on the IAC FMV equal to the aggregate amount of IAC’s withholding obligation on the same date. If the event that any such deduction and/or withholding is prohibited by law, Executive shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the vesting of the Award, pay to IAC, or make arrangements satisfactory to IAC regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.

(A/B)^1/C minus 1

“A” equals $350, the IAC FMV on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date;
