(a) The initial determination of the amount of the LIC Maximum Amount that may be earned with respect to any calendar year shall be based solely on the achievement of the 162(m) Objectives, but such amount that may be earned by the Executive shall be subject to reduction based on the Compensation Committee’s application of the Negative Discretion Criteria in accordance with Section 4.10(b) and Section 4.11.

(b) The Compensation Committee may (but is not required to) structure a plan with respect to vesting of the LIC Performance Equity Awards (or, in the case of Above Target Awards, granting) that provides that once the Compensation Committee has certified that portion, if any, of the 162(m) Objectives that has been achieved (the “Achieved 162(m) Objectives”), the Compensation Committee may, in good faith and its sole discretion, but subject to the limitation in Section 4.11(b) with respect to the Target Awards, exercise negative discretion with respect to reducing the number of LIC Performance Equity Awards that would otherwise vest (or, in the case of Above Target Awards, be awarded) based solely on the Achieved 162(m) Objectives.  The Performance Metrics relating to the Compensation Committee’s exercise of such negative discretion with respect to the Target Awards and the Performance Metrics relating to the Compensation Committee’s exercise of such negative discretion with respect to the Above Target Awards (such Performance Metrics collectively, the “Negative Discretion Criteria”) will be established by the Compensation Committee in good

faith and its sole discretion in compliance with the timing requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and in accordance with the Section 4.10 Process.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is agreed that the Negative Discretion Criteria with respect to all or any part of the Above Target Awards may be limited to a statement that the grant of all or any part of the Above Target Awards will be made by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

(c) The “Section 4.10 Process” means the following process with respect to the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria established by the Compensation Committee, which process is subject to the provisions of Section 4.10(a),  Section 4.10(b) and the limitations in Section 4.11(b):

(i) Not later than February 25 of each year the Compensation Committee will adopt by resolution and provide the Executive with a written proposal regarding (and separately identifying) the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria to be applicable to the LIC Performance Equity Awards for that year.

(ii) If the Executive disagrees with or objects to such proposed 162(m) Objectives, any Negative Discretion Criteria or any component of either, he will notify the Company’s General Counsel (a “Disagreement Notice”) within 10 days of receipt of such proposed objectives.  If the Executive does not timely deliver a Disagreement Notice, the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria proposed by the Compensation Committee will be the 162(m) Objectives and Negative Discretion Criteria that apply to the LIC Performance Equity Awards for that year.

(iii) If the Executive timely delivers a Disagreement Notice, then the Executive and the Compensation Committee will each provide its position to the Chairman of the Company’s Board (the “Chairman”) within 5 days of the General Counsel’s receipt of the Disagreement Notice.  If the Executive does not timely deliver his position to the Chairman, the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria proposed by the Compensation Committee will be the 162(m) Objectives and Negative Discretion Criteria that apply to the LIC Performance Equity Awards for that year.

(iv) Within 2 days of receiving the last of such positions, the Chairman will provide input to the Compensation Committee with respect to the Chairman’s position on the proposed 162(m) Objectives and any proposed Negative Discretion Criteria.

(v) Within 5 days of receiving input from the Chairman (or at such later date that is in compliance with the timing requirements of Section 162(m)), the Compensation Committee, in good faith and in its sole discretion, will establish the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria applicable to that year’s LIC Performance Equity Awards and will notify the Executive in writing regarding (and separately identifying) such 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Compensation Committee retains the sole

discretion to determine the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria applicable to the LIC Performance Equity Awards, subject only to the limitations on its exercise of negative discretion in relation to the Target Awards that are set forth in Section 4.11(b).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any LIC Performance Equity Award to the contrary, the only Performance Metrics applicable to an LIC Performance Equity Award shall be the 162(m) Objectives and any Negative Discretion Criteria communicated to Executive in writing in accordance with Section 4.10(c) above and as set forth in Schedule 1 of the applicable Equity Award Agreement.

4.11 Annual Compensation Committee Determinations.

(a) Compensation Committee Certification.  On or prior to March 15th of each calendar year beginning with March 15, 2016 and ending on March 15, 2020, the Compensation Committee will certify any Achieved 162(m) Objectives (the date each year as of which such certification is made being referred to as the “Committee Certification Date”). 

(b) Target Awards.  If the Equity Award Agreements pursuant to which the Target Awards for the preceding calendar year were issued include Negative Discretion Criteria, the Compensation Committee may then in good faith and in its sole discretion, exercise such discretion with respect to those Target Awards that would otherwise vest and be earned based solely on the Achieved 162(m) Objectives, and will certify on the Committee Certification Date in accordance with the applicable Equity Award Agreements, the number, if any, of the Target Awards that have become vested and earned in accordance with the applicable Equity Award Agreements after giving effect to the Compensation Committee’s exercise, if any, of the Negative Discretion Criteria for such Target Awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Negative Discretion Criteria with respect to the Target Awards include objective performance criteria in relation to the performance or value of the Company, its Subsidiaries, its affiliates and/or any division or business unit of any of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee will not exercise negative discretion with respect to vesting that number, if any, of such Target Awards that relate solely to such objective performance criteria.   In addition, any such objective performance criteria will not alone result in a payout in excess of the LIC Target Amount for such LIC Performance Equity Awards.  As specified in the applicable Equity Award Agreements, any Target Awards that do not become vested on the applicable Committee Certification Date will be forfeited in their entirety.

(c) Above Target Awards.  The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, apply the Negative Discretion Criteria to reduce all or any part of the Above Target Awards for a particular calendar year that would otherwise be awarded based solely on the Achieved 162(m) Objectives, and will certify on the Committee Certification Date the number, if any, of Above Target Awards that will be issued to the Executive after giving effect to the Compensation Committee’s exercise, if any, of the Negative Discretion Criteria for such Above Target Awards.  In no event is the Compensation Committee required to issue any Above Target Awards.  Subject to any blackouts pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy, any Above Target Awards that are awarded to the Executive will be issued by the Company no later than

March 15th of the year following the year in respect of which such Above Target Award was earned (e.g., by March 15, 2016 in respect of the Above Target Award, if any, relating to the 2015 calendar year).

4.12 Replacement Awards.  Any  restricted stock unit, restricted stock, option or other equity or equity derivative that is issued after the Effective Date to the Executive by the Company or any other Person pursuant to a Fundamental Corporate Event in full or partial replacement of, as an adjustment to, or otherwise with respect to, an Equity Award (a “Replacement Award”), will (a) in the case of LIC Term Options, have the same term and the same vesting and exercisability terms and conditions as the LIC Term Option in respect of which it was issued, and (b) in the case of LIC Performance Equity Awards, be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan in such a manner that the value and benefits or potential value and benefits intended to be made available under the Plan to the Executive with respect to the LIC Performance Equity Award in respect of which it was issued are preserved and, without limiting the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion to establish the same, the Compensation Committee will consult with the Executive in good faith regarding any 162(m) Objectives or Negative Discretion Criteria or components thereof that are proposed to be changed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is not the issuer of a Replacement Award, the definition of Change in Control with respect to such Replacement Award will be applied with respect to the issuer of such Replacement Award as if it were the “Company” for purposes of such definition.  By way of illustration, a Change in Control of the Company will not cause acceleration of any Replacement Awards that are not issued by the Company and a Change in Control of the issuer of any Replacement Awards with respect to which the Company is not the issuer will not cause acceleration of any remaining Equity Awards with respect to which the Company is the issuer.  All Replacement Equity Awards will have the same net settlement rights as the replaced Equity Award.

(a) Payments and Benefits.  In the event of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s estate or his legal representative, as the case may be, will receive:

5.6 Expiration of Employment Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment at or after the Close of Business on December 31, 2019 for any reason does not constitute a Separation “during the Employment Period” for purposes of any Severance Benefits to be paid to the Executive pursuant to any of Section 5.1,  Section 5.2,  Section 5.3 or Section 5.5.

5.7 Specified Employee.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Executive is to receive payments or benefits under any provision of Section 5 by reason of his Separation other than as a result of his death, (ii) the Executive is a “specified employee” with respect to the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code for the period in which the payment or benefits would otherwise commence, and (iii) such payment or benefit would otherwise subject the Executive to any tax, interest or penalty imposed under Section 409A of the Code (or any regulation promulgated thereunder) if the payment or benefit were to commence within six months after a termination of the Executive’s employment, then such payment or benefit required under Section 5 will instead be paid as provided in this Section 5.7.  Each severance payment contemplated under this Section 5 will be treated as a separate payment in a series of separate payments under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).  Such payments or benefits which would have otherwise been required to be made over such six month period will be paid, without interest, to the Executive in one lump sum payment or otherwise provided to the Executive on the first Business Day that is six months and one day after the termination of the Executive’s employment.  Thereafter, the payments and benefits will continue,

if applicable, for the relevant period set forth above.  For purposes of this Agreement, all references to “Separation,” “termination of employment” and other similar language will be deemed to refer to the Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), including, without limitation, the default presumptions thereof.

5.8 Full Settlement; No Mitigation.  The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder will not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company or any Subsidiary may have against the Executive; provided, that the foregoing does not affect the terms of any Equity Award Agreement, including with respect to the circumstances under which stock issued thereunder may be forfeited.  In no event will the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement.

5.9 Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement will prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any employee benefit plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or a Subsidiary and for which the Executive may qualify, except as specifically provided herein.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of the Company or a Subsidiary at or subsequent to a Separation will be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

5.10 Separation Prior to January 1, 2015.   For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive experiences a Separation prior to January 1, 2015, the provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply with respect to such Separation.

6. Confidential Information. The Executive will not, during or after the Employment Period, without the prior express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly use or divulge, disclose or make available or accessible any Confidential Information (as defined below) to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or any other entity or third party (other than when required to do so in good faith to perform the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or when (i) required to do so by a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power, or (ii) necessary to prosecute the Executive’s rights against the Company or its Subsidiaries or to defend himself against any allegations).  The Executive will also proffer to the Company, no later than the effective date of any termination of the Executive’s engagement with the Company for any reason, and without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer disks or other media, computer programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies, and any other documents consisting of or containing Confidential Information that are in the Executive’s actual or constructive possession or which are subject to the Executive’s control at such time.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” will mean all information respecting the business and activities of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, the clients, customers, suppliers, employees, consultants, computer or other files, projects, products, computer disks or other media, computer hardware or computer software programs, marketing plans, financial information, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts,

formats, systems, trade secrets, data gathering methods and/or strategies of the Company or any Subsidiary.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Confidential Information will not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to the public (unless such availability occurs as a result of the Executive’s breach of any of his obligations under this Section).  If the Executive is in breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6 or if any such breach is threatened by the Executive, in addition to and without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in any court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity to grant such relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, to restrain any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.  The Executive agrees that there is no adequate remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach and, if any action or proceeding is brought seeking injunctive relief, the Executive will not use as a defense thereto that there is an adequate remedy at law.

7. Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive, the Company, the Executive’s and the Company’s respective successors and assigns and the Executive’s estate, heirs and legal representatives (as applicable).  The Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or assets, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock, or, by an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  

8. Notices.  Any notice provided for in this Agreement must be in writing and must be either personally delivered, mailed by first class mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the recipient at the address below indicated:

9. General Provisions.

9.1 Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

9.2 Entire Agreement.   This Agreement, together with any agreement evidencing the grant of an Equity Award, contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto, including without limitation any non-binding term sheets addressing potential provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of the Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards dated September 23, 2011 between the Company and the Executive that have obligations that have not been fully performed or that by their nature would be intended to survive the expiration of such agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be superseded by this Agreement.

9.3 No Strict Construction; headings.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.  The headings of the sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

9.4 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered in separate counterparts (including by means of facsimile), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement will become effective only when counterparts have been executed and delivered by all parties whose names are set forth on the signature page(s) hereof.

9.5 Applicable Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, applied without reference to principles of conflict of laws.    

9.6 Legal Fees and Other Expenses.  The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the

review, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, any option agreement, restricted stock award, Equity Award and/or any other agreements or plans referenced herein and any documents related thereto and will also pay or reimburse the Executive for any HSR filing fees incurred by him in connection with his receipt of Equity Awards in accordance with this Agreement.  Any such reimbursement will be made as soon as practicable following submission of a reimbursement request, but no later than the end of the year following the year during which the underlying expense was incurred.

9.7 Compliance with Section 409A.  To the extent that the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder are applicable to any amounts payable hereunder, the parties intend that this Agreement will meet the requirements of such Code section and regulations and that the provisions hereof will be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with such intent.  If, however, the Executive is liable for the payment of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, or any successor or like provision (the “409A Tax”), with respect to any payments or property transfers received or to be received under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company will pay the Executive an amount (the “Special Reimbursement”) which, after payment to the Executive (or on the Executive’s behalf) of any federal, state and local taxes, including, without limitation, any further tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code, with respect to or resulting from the Special Reimbursement, equals the net amount of the 409A Tax.  Any payment due to the Executive under this Section will be made to the Executive, or on behalf of the Executive, as soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of such payment, but no sooner than the date on which the Company is required to withhold such amount or the Executive is required to pay such amount to the Internal Revenue Service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments under this Section will be made to the Executive, or on the Executive’s behalf, no later than the end of the year following the year in which the Executive or the Company paid the related taxes, interest or penalties.  The Executive will cooperate with the Company in taking such actions as the Company may reasonably request to assure that this Agreement will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder and to limit the amount of any additional payments required by this Section 9.7 to be made to the Executive.

9.8 Amendment and Waiver.  The provisions of this Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the Company and the Executive.  No waiver by a party of a breach or default hereunder will be valid unless in a writing signed by the waiving party, and no such waiver will be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

9.9 Withholding.  All payments to the Executive or under this Agreement will be subject to withholding on account of federal, state and local taxes as required by law.

9.10 Business Days.  If the giving of any notice or the taking of any other action under this Agreement is required to be taken on a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance of such action shall be extended until the next succeeding Business Day.

9.11 Survival.  This Agreement will survive a Separation or the expiration of the Employment Period and will remain in full force and effect after such Separation or expiration, but only to the extent that obligations existing as of the date of Separation or expiration have not been fully performed or by their nature would be intended to survive a Separation or expiration,

including that the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 will continue in effect in accordance with their terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive continues to be employed by the Company following December 31, 2019 such employment will be on an “at will” basis unless and until a new employment agreement is entered into.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.1(a),  Section 5.2(a),  Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.5(a) entitling the Executive to various cash payments and other benefits upon Separation will not apply to any such Separation that occurs at or after the Close of Business on December 31, 2019, but he will be entitled to enforce those rights as to any such Separation that occurs prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2019. 

9.12 Arbitration.  Except as provided in Section 6, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with, or termination of employment from, the Company, or the Equity Award Agreements (including whether such controversy, claim or dispute is subject to arbitration), excepting only claims that may not, by statute, be arbitrated, will be submitted to binding arbitration.  Both the Executive and the Company acknowledge that they are relinquishing their right to a jury trial.  The Executive and the Company agree that arbitration will be the exclusive method for resolving disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with, or termination of employment from, the Company, or the Equity Award Agreements.
