IAC/InterActiveCorp
Deferred Compensation Plan for
Non-Employee Directors
1.
PURPOSE . The purpose of the IAC/InterActiveCorp
Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “
Plan ”) is to provide non-employee directors of
IAC/InterActiveCorp (or any successor thereto) (the “
Company ”) with an opportunity to defer Director Fees
(as defined in paragraph 4(b) below).
2.
EFFECTIVE DATE . The Plan became effective on May 30,
2007.
3.
ELIGIBILITY . Any member of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “ Board ”) who is not an
employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company is eligible to participate in the Plan.
4.
ELECTION TO DEFER COMPENSATION .
(a)
Time of Eligibility . An election to defer Director
Fees by a newly elected director shall be made by such director
within the 30-day period following his or her election to the
Board, which election shall only apply to Director Fees earned for
services performed after the date of such election. A
director who has either (i) not previously elected to defer
Director Fees or (ii) discontinued (or wishes to modify) a prior
election to defer Director Fees may elect to defer Director Fees
(or modify an existing deferral election) by giving written notice
to the Company on or prior to November 1 of each year (or such
other date as may be determined from time to time by the Secretary
of the Company in accordance with paragraph 10 of the Plan and in
compliance with applicable law). Any such election shall only
apply to Director Fees earned for services performed during the
calendar year following such written notice. The
effectiveness of a given election shall continue until the
participant’s Separation from Service, as defined in Section
14 of the Plan, or until the end of the calendar year during which
the participant gives the Company written notice of its
discontinuance or modification, whichever shall occur first.
Any notice of discontinuance or modification shall operate
prospectively from the first day of the calendar year following the
receipt of such written notice by the Secretary of the Company, and
Director Fees payable during any subsequent calendar year shall
either be paid (absent any timely future deferral election) or
deferred in accordance with the terms of the discontinuance or
modified election, as applicable; provided, however, that
Director Fees theretofore deferred shall continue to be withheld
and shall be paid in accordance with the notice of election
pursuant to which they were withheld. All written notices
regarding deferral elections and/or the discontinuance or
modification of prior deferral elections shall be made on a form
prescribed by the Company.
(b)
Amount of Deferral . A participant may elect to defer
receipt of all or a specified portion of the cash fees receivable
by such participant for services performed as a director of the
Company (which amounts shall include fees for services as a member
of one or more Committee(s) of the Board and meeting attendance
fees, if any (among other fees), as and if applicable from time to
time) that are otherwise payable to the participant in cash (the
“ Director Fees ”).
2
(c)
Manner of Electing Deferral . A participant shall
elect to defer Director Fees by giving written notice to the
Company in a form prescribed by the Company. Such notice
shall include:
(i)
the percentage or amount of Director Fees to be deferred (the
“ Deferred Fees ”);
(ii)
the allocation of the Deferred Fees between the “ Cash
Fund ” or “ Share Units ;”
and
(iii)
in the case of a participant’s initial election only, an
election of a lump-sum payment or of a number of annual
installments (not to exceed five) for the payment of the Deferred
Fees (plus the amounts (if any) credited under Section 5), with
such lump-sum payment or the first installment payment occurring on
the later of (A) the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the participant’s Separation from Service occurs (but
not earlier than January 15 th of
such year) or (B) the first day of the seventh month following the
date on which the participant’s Separation from Service
occurs (and otherwise in compliance with applicable law), with any
successive annual installment payments to be made not earlier than
January 15 th
of each such year. Any
payment election made by a participant in connection with his or
her initial election to participate in the Plan shall apply to all
Deferred Fees, whether covered by the initial deferral election or
a subsequent deferral election; provided , however ,
that this paragraph 4(c)(iii) shall not preclude subsequent
modifications to the payment election described immediately above
that are made in connection with a participant’s Separation
from Service and in compliance with paragraph (d) below.
(d)
Change in Deferral . A participant may change his or
her payment election in accordance with the following
requirements:
(i)
Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (d), such
election may not take effect until the twelve (12) month
anniversary of the date the election is made and filed with the
Secretary of the Company using a form prescribed by the
Company;
(ii)
Such lump-sum payment or the first installment payment shall
not be made less than five (5) years after the date that the
participant’s Deferred Fees (plus the amounts (if any)
credited under Section 5) would have been paid pursuant to
paragraph (c)(iii) above (or such later year if a prior
modification was made pursuant to this paragraph); and
(iii)
Any new election shall not be effective unless made at least twelve
(12) months prior to the year in which the payment of the Deferred
Fees (plus the amounts (if any) credited under Section 5) would
otherwise commence.

participant’s Deferred Fees (the “ Account

Units:

book entry to a number of “Share Units” (computed to
the nearest 1/1000 of a share) equal to the number of shares of
common stock, par value $.001 per share (“ Common
Stock ”), of the Company that could have been purchased
on such date with such amount of Deferred Fees, using the closing
