Item 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On August 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of GSI Commerce, Inc. (“GSI”) approved a Change in Control Agreement applicable to members of senior management, including our executive officers, and certain other employees. The Change in Control Agreement provides that if the employee resigns for “good reason” or is terminated without “cause” (as such terms are defined in the Change in Control Agreement) within 90 days before or two years (with respect to senior management) following a change in control (as defined in the agreement), then:

 

    All equity awards held by the employee will immediately become fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions set forth in these equity awards related to the passage of time and/or continued employment will immediately lapse; and

 

    The employee will have continued exercisability of each GSI stock option and stock appreciation right held by the employee, if any, for the remaining term of each such equity award.

A copy of the form of Change in Control Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1.
