This Second Amendment Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 25, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and among U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. (the “Company”), Mehran Nia (“Mr. Nia”) and the Nia Living Trust Established September 2, 2004 (the “Trust” and together with Mr. Nia, “Nia”).

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into a Board Candidate Agreement with Nia, dated May 31, 2018, as amended on January 17, 2019 (together, the “Board Agreement”) and the parties seek to amend the Board Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Amendment.  Section 1.1(ii) of the Board Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(ii) The Company hereby agrees that the Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint the Second Director to serve as a member of the Board through one of the following methods selected at the sole discretion of the Company: (i) the Board shall nominate the Second Director to serve as a Class II director at the Company’s 2020 Annual Stockholder Meeting; (ii) the Company shall seek stockholder approval at the Company’s 2020 Annual Stockholder Meeting to amend its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to expand the size of the Board to ten (10) directors and shall at a mutually agreeable time thereafter appoint the Second Director to serve on the Board as a Class III director; or (iii) to the extent there is an open vacancy on the Board at or prior to the Company’s 2020 Annual Stockholder Meeting, the Board shall appoint the Second Director to serve on the Board and fill such vacancy.” 

2. Entire Agreement.  This Amendment together with the Board Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, arrangements and discussions between the parties regarding such subject matter.  To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of the Board Agreement and the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail.
