Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On September 18, 2012, U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated its Employment Agreements with Shane Evangelist, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Amended Evangelist Employment Agreement”), and Aaron Coleman, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “Amended Coleman Employment Agreement”), to extend the term of the Company’s existing Employment Agreements entered into with Mr. Evangelist on October 12, 2007, as amended on March 29, 2010 (the “Prior Evangelist Agreement”), and entered into with Mr. Coleman on April 3, 2008, as amended on March 29, 2010 (the “Prior Coleman Agreement”). Together, the Amended Evangelist Employment Agreement and the Amended Coleman Employment Agreement are the “Amended Employment Agreements” and together the Prior Evangelist Agreement and the Prior Coleman Agreement are the “Prior Agreements.”

The Prior Evangelist Agreement and the Prior Coleman Agreement were scheduled to expire on October 12, 2012 and April 3, 2013, respectively, and were each amended and restated pursuant to the Amended Employment Agreements to provide for an additional five-year term ending on September 18, 2017. Additional revisions were made to the Amended Employment Agreements for purposes of, among other things, reflecting Mr. Evangelist’s current annual base salary of $425,000 that became effective on January 1, 2011 and Mr. Coleman’s current annual base salary of $300,000 that became effective on January 1, 2012, and reflecting the change in Mr. Coleman’s title to Chief Operating Officer that became effective in September 2010. Mr. Evangelist and Mr. Coleman will continue to be entitled to receive substantially the same bonus, severance and other fringe benefits under the Amended Employment Agreements as were previously provided to them under their respective Prior Agreements.

Pursuant to the Amended Evangelist Employment Agreement, Mr. Evangelist will receive an annual base salary of $425,000. Mr. Evangelist will also continue to be eligible to receive an annual target incentive bonus of up to 80% of his annual base salary, depending on the achievement of certain performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. While Mr. Evangelist will continue to be employed on an at-will basis, the Amended Evangelist Employment Agreement provides that in the event of his involuntary termination by the Company for any reason (other than for cause) or in the event of his own voluntary resignation with good reason, Mr. Evangelist will continue to be entitled to severance benefits consisting of, among other things, continuation of his annual base salary for a period of one year following termination, a pro-rated portion of his target bonus for the year in which he was terminated, and reimbursement for the cost of COBRA coverage for a period of up to one year following his termination of employment.

Pursuant to the Amended Coleman Employment Agreement, Mr. Coleman will receive an annual base salary of $300,000. Mr. Coleman will also continue to be eligible to receive an annual target incentive bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary, depending on the achievement of certain performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. While Mr. Coleman will continue to be employed on an at-will basis, the Amended Coleman Employment Agreement provides that in the event of his involuntary termination by the Company for any reason (other than for cause) or in the event of his own voluntary resignation with good reason, Mr. Coleman will continue to be entitled to severance benefits consisting of continuation of his annual base salary for a period of up to one year following termination, a pro-rated portion of his target bonus for the year in which he was terminated, and reimbursement for the cost of COBRA coverage for a period of up to one year following his termination of employment.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Employment Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those documents attached hereto.
