Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between InfoSpace, Inc. and its Chairman James F. Voelker (as attached as Exhibit 10.8 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-K filed by InfoSpace, Inc. on November 10, 2008, the "Employment Agreement") provides that the Employment Term of Mr. Voelker, as defined in the Employment Agreement, will end on December 31, 2010 unless extended by the Company and Mr. Voelker, with notice of such extension to be provided at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Employment Term. Mr. Voelker and the Company have decided not to extend the term of employment. Accordingly, on September 21, 2010, the Company provided Mr. Voelker with the notice contemplated by Section 4 of the Employment Agreement that his employment by InfoSpace, Inc. will end on December 31, 2010. Section 3 of the Agreement provides that during his term of employment, Mr. Voelker is to serve as Chairman of the Board, subject to any required Board and/or stockholder approval. Mr. Voelker will remain on the Board after the end of the Employment Term, but, per NASDAQ listing rules, will not be considered an independent director. InfoSpace intends to appoint an independent Chairman of the Board to serve as of January 1, 2011. The Employment Agreement provides for a $2.4 million payment to Mr. Voelker on the six month anniversary of the separation from service. Although this payment will be made to Mr. Voelker in the first quarter of 2011, the Company expects to recognize this expense in its third quarter 2010 financial results.
