Exhibit 10.3

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”), dated August 1, 2007
(“Effective Date”), is between Kintera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) and Richard LaBarbera (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have previously executed an Offer Letter
dated January 23, 2006 (the “Offer Letter”) regarding the terms of Executive’s
employment with the Company.

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire this Agreement to be to be the final,
complete, and exclusive statement of the terms of Executive’s employment by the
Company, superseding the terms of such Offer Letter.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. POSITION, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND TERM

a. Position. Executive is employed by the Company to render services to the
Company in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive
shall perform such duties and responsibilities as are normally related to such
position in accordance with the standards of the industry and any additional
duties now or hereafter assigned to Executive by the Company’s Board of
Directors (“Board”) (“Services”). Executive shall abide by the rules,
regulations, and practices as adopted or modified from time to time in the
Company’s sole discretion. Executive will devote Executive’s full time efforts
to the provision of Services under this Agreement.

b. Other Activities. Except upon the prior written consent of the Company,
Executive will not, during the term of this Agreement: (i) be employed
elsewhere; (ii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity
(whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that might interfere with
Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder or create a conflict of
interest with the Company; or (iii) acquire any interest of any type in any
other business which is in competition with the Company, provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit the Executive from acquiring
solely as an investment up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity
interests of any publicly-held company.

c. No Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that Executive’s execution of
this Agreement and performance of Services under this Agreement will not violate
any obligations Executive may have to any other employer, person or entity,
including any obligations to keep in confidence proprietary information,
knowledge, or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to
becoming an employee of the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d. Term of Employment. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 3,
the term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three (3) years after the
Effective Date of this Agreement (“Term”). Where the Agreement is terminated on
or after the expiration of the Term, the Company shall pay to Executive all
compensation to which Executive is entitled up through the effective date of
termination according to its normal payroll practices, and the Company shall not
have any further obligations under this Agreement.

e. Housing Allowance. Until the earlier of the date on which Executive ceases to
be employed by the Company or December 31,2009, the Company will continue to
reimburse Executive for documented costs and expenses actually incurred by
Executive directly in connection with his maintenance of a residence in San
Diego, provided that Executive does not sell his primary residence in
Pleasonton, CA (the “Primary Residence”). The maximum yearly amount for
reimbursable expenses covered by this paragraph shall not exceed $18,000 for
calendar year 2007; $20,000 for calendar year 2008; and $22,000 for calendar
year 2009. All such reimbursements (and limits thereto) shall be increased
(“grossed-up”) to the extent necessary to cover any personal income taxes
Executive incurs by reason of such payments. Any amounts paid hereunder shall
reduce the amounts available under Section 1(f) below.

f. Relocation. In the event that Executive (a) sells the Primary Residence in
connection with the relocation of his primary residence to San Diego County or
(b) acquires property in San Diego County to serve as his new principal
residence (the “New Residence”), the Company will cease making the payments
under 1(e) above, but instead shall reimburse Executive for the following
(provided that in no event shall the aggregate of all such relocation
reimbursements exceed $96,000, after reductions to the extent paid pursuant to
1(e)), subject to Section 1(g) as follows: (i) either (x) the real estate
commissions on the sale of the Primary Residence (not to exceed 4% of the sale
price of the Primary Residence) or (y) the portion of the purchase price of the
New Residence attributable to real estate commissions (not to exceed 4% of the
purchase price of the New Residence); (ii) the shipping cost of household goods
through an approved relocation service; and (iii) hotel and mileage or one way
airfare for Executive and Executive’s family on the day of move.

g. Refund Provision. Executive hereby agrees to refund to the Company 100% of
all payments that were made to you or on your behalf in connection with your
relocation (but not you housing allowance), should Executive resign or if
Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the twelve month period
following the sale of the Primary Residence.

way to the conception, reduction to practice, creation, derivation, design,
development, manufacture, sale or support of products or services for Kintera,
Inc. is the property of Kintera, Inc., and I hereby assign to Kintera, Inc. all
of my right, title and interest in and to such previous work.

3. Proprietary Information: My employment creates a relationship of confidence
and trust between Kintera, Inc. and me with respect to any information:

(a) Applicable to the business of Kintera, Inc.; or

(b) Applicable to the business of any client or customer of Kintera, Inc., which
may be made known to me by Kintera, Inc. or by any client or customer of
Kintera, Inc., or learned by me in such context during the period of my
employment.

All such information has commercial value in the business in which Kintera, Inc.
is engaged and is hereinafter called “Proprietary Information.” By way of
illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes any and all
technical and non-technical information including patent, copyright, trade
secret, and proprietary information, techniques, sketches, drawings, models,

limitation, respective information concerning research, experimental work,
development, design details and specifications, engineering, financial
information, procurement requirements, purchasing manufacturing, customer lists,
business forecasts, sales and merchandising and marketing plans and information.
“Proprietary Information” also includes proprietary or confidential information
of any third party who may disclose such information to Kintera, Inc. or to me
in the course of Kintera, Inc.’s business. In cases where any question exists as
to the appropriateness of disclosing information, I agree to obtain the prior
written consent of Kintera, Inc. prior to disclosure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Ownership and Non-disclosure of Proprietary Information: All Proprietary
Information is the sole property of Kintera, Inc., Kintera, Inc.’s assigns, and
Kintera, Inc.’s customers, and Kintera, Inc., Kintera, Inc.’s assigns and
Kintera, Inc.’s customers shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all patents,
copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other rights in the Proprietary
Information. I hereby do and will assign to Kintera, Inc. all rights, title and
interest I may have or acquire in the Proprietary Information. At all times,
both during my employment by Kintera, Inc. and after termination of such
employment, I will keep in confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, and
I will not use or disclose any Proprietary Information or anything directly
relating to Proprietary Information without the written consent of Kintera,
Inc., except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing my duties
as an employee of Kintera, Inc. I further agree that, in order to uphold my
obligation to keep in confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, I will
decline any employment which, by its nature, will inevitably require me to
disclose Proprietary Information belonging to Kintera, Inc.

5. Innovations: As used in this Agreement, the term “Innovations” means all
processes, machines, manufactures, compositions of matter, improvements,
inventions (whether or not protectable under patent laws), works of authorship,
information fixed in any tangible medium of expression (whether or not
protectable under copyright laws), moral rights, mask works, trademarks, trade
names, trade dress, trade secrets, know-how, ideas (whether or not protectable
under trade secret laws), and all other subject matter protectable under patent,
copyright, moral right, mask work, trademark, trade secret or other laws, and
includes without limitation all new or useful art, combinations, discoveries,
formulae, manufacturing techniques, technical developments, discoveries,
artwork, software, and designs. “Innovations” includes “Inventions,” which is

Innovations”) attached hereto all Innovations, applicable to the business of
Kintera, Inc. or relating in any way to Kintera, Inc.’s business or demonstrably
anticipated research and development or business, which were conceived, reduced
to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by me prior to my employment
with Kintera, Inc. (collectively, the “Prior Innovations”), and I represent that
such list is complete. I represent that I have no rights in any such Innovations
other than those Prior Innovations specified in Exhibit A. If there is no such
list on Exhibit A, I represent that I have neither conceived, reduced to
practice, created, derived, developed nor made any such Prior Innovations, prior
to or at the time of signing this Agreement.

7. Assignment of Innovations; License of Prior Innovations: I hereby agree
promptly to disclose and describe to Kintera, Inc., and I hereby do and will
assign to Kintera, Inc. or Kintera, Inc.’s designee my entire right, title, and
interest in and to: (a) each of the Innovations (including Inventions), and any
associated intellectual property rights, which I may solely or jointly conceive,
reduce to practice, create, derive, develop or make during the period of my
employment with Kintera, Inc., which either (i) relate, at the time of
conception, reduction to practice, creation, derivation, development, or making
of such Innovation, to Kintera, Inc.’s

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or
(ii) were developed on any amount of Kintera, Inc.’s time or with the use of any
of Kintera, Inc.’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information,
or (iii) resulted from any work I performed for Kintera, Inc.; and (b) each of
the Innovations which is not an Invention (as demonstrated by me by evidence
meeting the clear and convincing standard of proof), and any associated
intellectual property rights, which I may solely or jointly conceive, develop,
reduce to practice, create, derive, develop, or make during the period of my
employment with Kintera, Inc., which are applicable to the business of Kintera,
Inc. and/or to Kintera, Inc.’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development (collectively, the Innovations identified in clauses (a) and (b) are
hereinafter the “Kintera, Inc. Innovations”). To the extent any of the rights,
title and interest in and to the Kintera, Inc. Innovations cannot be assigned by
me to Kintera, Inc., I hereby grant to Kintera, Inc. an exclusive, royalty-free,
transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through
multiple tiers of sublicensees) to practice such non-assignable rights, title
and interest.

To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to Kintera, Inc.
Innovations can be neither assigned nor licensed by me to Kintera, Inc., I
hereby irrevocably waive and agree never to assert such non-assignable and
non-licensable rights, title and interest against Kintera, Inc. or any of
Kintera, Inc.’s successors in interest to such non-assignable and non-licensable
rights. I hereby grant to Kintera, Inc. or Kintera, Inc.’s designees a royalty
free, irrevocable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple
tiers of sublicensees) to practice all applicable patent, copyright, moral
right, mask work, trade secret and other intellectual property rights relating
to any Prior Innovations which I incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, in
any Kintera, Inc. Innovations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I
will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Innovations in any
Kintera, Inc. Innovations without Kintera, Inc.’s prior written consent.

8. Future Innovations: I recognize that Innovations or Proprietary Information
relating to my activities while working for Kintera, Inc. and conceived, reduced
to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by me, alone or with others,
within one (1) year after termination of my employment may have been conceived,
reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made, as applicable, in
significant part while employed by Kintera, Inc. Accordingly, I agree that such
Innovations and Proprietary Information shall be presumed to have been
conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made, as
applicable, during my employment with Kintera, Inc. and are to be promptly
assigned to Kintera, Inc. unless and until I have established the contrary by
written evidence satisfying the clear and convincing standard of proof.

9. Cooperation in Perfecting Rights to Proprietary Information and Innovations:

(a) I agree to perform, during and after my employment, all acts deemed
necessary or desirable by Kintera, Inc. to permit and assist Kintera, Inc., at
Kintera, Inc.’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing the full benefits,
enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Proprietary Information
and Innovations assigned or licensed to, or whose rights are irrevocably waived
and shall not be asserted against, Kintera, Inc. under this Agreement. Such acts
may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or
cooperation (i) in the filing, prosecution,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

registration, and memorialization of assignment of any applicable patents,
copyrights, mask work, or other applications, (ii) in the enforcement of any
applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, moral rights, trade secrets, or other
proprietary rights, and (iii) in other legal proceedings related to the
Proprietary Information or Innovations.

(b) In the event that Kintera, Inc. is unable for any reason to secure my
signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register, or memorialize
the assignment of any patent, copyright, mask work or other applications or to
enforce any patent, copyright, mask work, moral right, trade secret or other
proprietary right under any Proprietary Information (including improvements
thereof) or any Innovations (including derivative works, improvements, renewals,
extensions, continuations, divisionals, continuations in part, continuing patent
applications, reissues, and reexaminations thereof), I hereby irrevocably
designate and appoint Kintera, Inc. and Kintera, Inc.’s duly authorized officers
and agents as my agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on my behalf and
instead of me, (i) to execute, file, prosecute, register and memorialize the
assignment of any such application, (ii) to execute and file any documentation
required for such enforcement, and (iii) to do all other lawfully permitted acts
to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment,
issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, mask works, moral rights,
trade secrets or other rights under the Proprietary Information, or Innovations,
all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

10. Non-assignable Inventions: This Agreement does not apply to an Invention
which qualifies fully as a non-assignable invention under the provisions of
Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. I acknowledge that a condition for an
Invention to qualify fully as a non-assignable invention under the provisions of
Section 2870 of the California Labor Code is that the invention must be
protected under patent laws. I have reviewed the notification in Exhibit B
(“Limited Exclusion Notification”) and agree that my signature acknowledges
receipt of the notification. However, I agree to disclose promptly in writing to
Kintera, Inc. all Innovations (including Inventions) conceived, reduced to
practice, created, derived, developed, or made by me during the term of my
employment and for three (3) months thereafter, whether or not I believe such
Innovations are subject to this Agreement, to permit a determination by Kintera,
Inc. as to whether or not the Innovations should be the property of Kintera,
Inc. Any such information will be received in confidence by Kintera, Inc.

11. Return of Kintera, Inc. Property: I acknowledge that all materials
(including, without limitation, documents, drawings, models, apparatus,
sketches, designs, lists, and all other tangible media of expression) furnished
to me by Kintera, Inc. shall remain the property of Kintera, Inc. On termination
of my employment with Kintera, Inc. for whatever reason, or at the request of
Kintera, Inc. before termination, I agree to promptly deliver to Kintera, Inc.
all records, files, computer disks, memoranda, documents, lists, materials and
other information regarding or containing any confidential or Proprietary
Information, including all copies, reproductions, summaries or excerpts thereof,
then in my possession or control, whether prepared by me or others. I also agree
to promptly return, upon termination or at any time upon Kintera, Inc.’s
request, any and all Kintera, Inc. property issued to me, including but not
limited to computers, facsimile transmission equipment, cellular phones, keys
and credits cards. I further agree that

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

should I discover any Kintera, Inc. property or Proprietary Information in my
possession after my termination and departure from Kintera, Inc., I agree to
return it promptly to Kintera, Inc. without retaining copies or excerpts of any
kind.

Inc.’s employees or causing others to solicit or encourage any of Kintera,
Inc.’s employees to discontinue their employment with Kintera, Inc.

13. No Violation of Rights of Third Parties: I warrant that my performance of
all the terms of this Agreement and my employment with Kintera, Inc. does not
and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information,
knowledge or data acquired by me prior to my employment with Kintera, Inc. I
agree not to disclose to Kintera, Inc., or induce Kintera, Inc. to use, any
confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous
employers or others. I warrant that I am not a party to any other agreement that
will interfere with my full compliance with this Agreement or my Employment
Agreement with Kintera, Inc. I further agree not to enter into any agreement,
whether written or oral, in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

14. Survival: This Agreement: (a) shall survive my employment by Kintera, Inc.;
(b) does not in any way restrict my right or the right of Kintera, Inc. to
terminate my employment at any time, for any reason or for no reason; (c) inures
to the benefit of successors and assigns of Kintera, Inc.; and (d) is binding

of the United States of America and by the laws of the state of California. Each

the federal and state courts located in California, as applicable, for any

seeking to enforce any order or any judgment of such federal or state courts
located in California, such personal jurisdiction shall be nonexclusive.

amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the
original provision, and (ii) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired

Exhibit B

LIMITED EXCLUSION NOTIFICATION

THIS IS TO NOTIFY you in accordance with Section 2872 of the California Labor
Code that the foregoing Agreement between you and Kintera, Inc. does not require
you to assign or offer to assign to Kintera, Inc. any invention that you
developed entirely on your own time without using Kintera, Inc.’s equipment,
supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those inventions
that either:

 

  (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention
to Kintera, Inc.’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development of Kintera, Inc.; or

 

  (2) Result from any work performed by you for Kintera, Inc.

To the extent a provision in the foregoing Agreement purports to require you to
assign an invention otherwise excluded from the preceding paragraph, the
provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

This limited exclusion does not apply to any patent or invention covered by a
contract between Kintera, Inc. and the United States or any of its agencies
requiring full title to such patent or invention to be in the United States.

I ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT of a copy of this notification.
