BERNIE BRENNER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of May 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) by and between TrueCar, Inc. (the “Company”) and Bernie Brenner (the “Executive”).

1.              Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a)         Positions and Duties.  As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as Executive Vice President of Business Development of the Company reporting directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”).  Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as shall reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”

(b)         Severance.  If (i) Executive’s employment with the Company terminates other than voluntarily or for “Cause” (as defined herein), or (ii) the Company Constructively Terminates (as defined herein) Executive’s employment, or (iii) if Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company upon a Change of Control (as defined herein) and Executive voluntarily terminates, and in the case of (i)-(iii) Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company (and such release becomes effective no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date or such earlier date required by the release agreement (“Release Deadline”)), then Executive shall be entitled to receive, subject to Section 1(c) herein, continuing payments of severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) at a rate equal to his Base Salary rate, as then in effect, for a period of one (1) year from the date of such termination (the “Severance Period”), to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies.

(c)          Timing of Payments/Section 409A.

(i)                           If the release does not become effective by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement.  In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the release actually becomes effective.  In the event the termination occurs at a time during the calendar year where the Release Deadline is in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Payments (as defined in Section 1(c)(ii)) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or, if later, (i) the Release Deadline, (ii) such time as required by the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit as set forth in Section 1(b), or (iii) such time as required by this Section 1(c).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Payments (as defined below) or other severance benefits that otherwise are exempt from Section 409A (as defined below) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) shall become payable until you have a “separation from service” within the

meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).

(ii)                        If Executive is a “specified employee” of the Company (or any successor entity thereto) within the meaning of Section 409A on the date of Executive’s termination (other than a termination due to death), and the severance payable to Executive, if any, under this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together the “Payments”), such Payments that are otherwise payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment, shall be delayed until the earlier of: (i) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of the termination, or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), and the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Payments that Executive would otherwise have received on or before the Delayed Initial Payment Date, without any adjustment on account of such delay, if the Payments had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 1(c), and (B) pay the balance of the Payments in accordance with any applicable payment schedules set forth herein.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following his termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his termination, then any Payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

(iii)                     Any amounts paid under this Agreement that satisfy the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Payments for purposes of clause (ii) above.  Any severance payment that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit shall not constitute.  Payments for purposes of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean two (2) times the lesser of: (i) annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during his taxable year preceding his taxable year of his separation from service as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s separation from service occurs.

(iv)                    Each payment and benefit under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

(v)                       The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.  The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

(including its successors and current and future subsidiaries) and consulting services on behalf of Vast.com (including its successors and current and future subsidiaries), so long as such services do not interfere with Executive’s performing hereunder and with respect to any consulting services on behalf of Vast.com (including its successors and current and future subsidiaries), so long as such services do not take-up more than 5% of Executive’s time in any given year.

(e)          Loan.  Upon Executive’s request, the Company will loan Executive an amount sufficient to exercise all or any portion of his vested options (the “Loan”).  The Loan will be evidenced by a promissory note and related security agreement (together, the “Loan Documents”) to be executed by and between Executive and the Company.  The terms of the Loan Documents shall as provided in the Company’s standard Executive Loan Form.

3.              Compensation: Stock Options.

(a)         Base Salary.  During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at the annualized rate of $120,000 (the “Base Salary”).  The Base Salary will be paid twice monthly in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and will be subject to the usual, required withholding.

otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s service to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise or the termination of Executive’s service with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1283.05 (the “Rules”) and pursuant to California law.  Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination and any statutory claims.  Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Executive.

(b)                                 Procedure.  Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes.  The arbitration proceedings will allow for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or California Code of Civil Procedure.  Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing.  Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall issue a written decision on the merits.  Executive also agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law.  Executive understands the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Executive shall pay the first $200.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Executive initiates.  Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the Rules, the Rules shall take precedence.

(c)                                  Remedy.  Except as provided by the Rules, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company.  Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration.  Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has not adopted.
