Indemnification Agreement



 Exhibit 10.34 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Director or Officer Indemnification Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is entered into as of March 3, 2006 by and between U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the director or officer of the Company identified on the signature page
hereto (the “Director or Officer”) and collectively with such Director or Officers’ Affiliated Persons, as defined below, the “Indemnitees”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Company and Director or Officer recognize the continued
difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for its directors and officers, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. 
 B. The Company and Director or Officer further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors to expensive
litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited. 
 C. The current
protection available to directors may not be adequate under the present circumstances, and directors, including the Director or Officer, may not be willing to continue to serve or be associated with the Company in such capacities without additional
protection for themselves and their Affiliated Persons. 
 D. The Company (i) desires to attract and retain the involvement of highly
qualified persons, such as Indemnitees, to serve and be associated with the Company, and (ii) accordingly, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Director or Officer and the Director or Officer’s
Affiliated Persons as provided herein. 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Director or Officer hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Indemnification

 (a) Indemnification of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Director or Officer and all of the Director or
Officer’s Affiliated Persons (as defined below) to the fullest extent permitted by law if any such Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other
participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that such Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such
action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (hereinafter a “Claim”) by reason of (or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related
to the fact that Director or Officer or an Affiliated Person is or was (or is alleged to be or to have been) a director, officer, employee, controlling person, fiduciary or other agent or affiliate of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company,
or is or was (or is alleged to be or to have been) serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, 








 
fiduciary or other agent or affiliate of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction
on the part of such Director or Officer or an Affiliated Person while serving or acting (or allegedly serving or acting) in such capacity, including, without limitation, any such Claim under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or any such Claim, at common law or otherwise, that relates
directly or indirectly (i) to the registration, purchase, sale or ownership of any securities of the Company or (ii) to any fiduciary obligation owed with respect to the Company and its stockholders (hereinafter an “Indemnification
Event”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, joint or several, incurred in connection with such Claim (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid
in settlement of (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any such Claim and against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses
and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution
mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation related to such Claim), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such
Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement (collectively, hereinafter “Expenses”), including all interest, assessments
and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses. The Company shall make such payment of Expenses as soon as practicable but in any event no later than ten (10) days after written demand by the Indemnitee
therefor is presented to the Company. 
 (b) Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company
under Section l(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party (as defined in Section 9(f) hereof) shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in
Section 9(e) hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to
Section 2(a) (an “Expense Advance”) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law,
the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law or hereunder, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law or hereunder shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of
appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitees’ obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. If there has not been a Change in Control (as defined in
Section 9(d) hereof), the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors with the approval of the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and if there has been such a Change in Control 

  

 -2- 








 
(other than a Change in Control (i) which has been approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to such Change in Control or
(ii) following which a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (or the ultimate parent entity thereof) is comprised of directors who were directors of the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall
be the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 9(e) hereof subject to the approval of the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the
Company and Indemnitees as to whether and to what extent Indemnitees would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify
such counsel against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. If there has been no determination by the
Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial
determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.
Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee. 
 (c) Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 1(a) above for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Claims referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnitee thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Indemnitees, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Indemnitee in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. In connection with the registration of the Company’s securities, the relative benefits received by the Company and any Indemnitee shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Indemnitee, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities so offered. The relative
fault of the Company and any Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 The Company and each Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section l(c) were determined by pro
rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In connection with the registration of the Company’s securities,
in no event shall an Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount under this Section l(c) in excess of the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of such losses, 

  

 -3- 








 
claims, damages or liabilities indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total securities sold under such registration statement which is being sold
by such Indemnitee or (ii) the net proceeds received by such Indemnitee from its sale of securities under such registration statement. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1 l(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (d)
Survival Regardless of Investigation. The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 1 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnitees or any officer,
director, employee, agent or controlling person of the Indemnitees. 
 (e) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in the defense of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation referred to in Section (l)(a) hereof or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection therewith. 
 2. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure 
 (a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by any Indemnitee. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in any event no later than
ten (10) days after written demand by such Indemnitee therefor to the Company, which written demand shall include reasonable detail and support for the amount of the Expenses to be so advanced. 
 (b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitees. Each Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnities right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In addition, each Indemnitee shall give the Company such information
and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. 
 (c) No Presumptions; Burden of Proof.
For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that any
Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a
determination as to whether an Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that the Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such
belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, shall be a defense to the Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that
the Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether 

  

 -4- 








 
the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled.

 (d) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. If the
Company has not paid such amounts directly, the Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of each Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
 (e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated
hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel approved by the applicable Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to such
Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Agreement
for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided that, (i) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ such Indemnitee’s counsel in any such Claim at the Indemnitee’s expense
and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is an actual conflict of interest, or a potential conflict of
interest that is material and reasonably likely, between the Company and such Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of the
Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. As long as the Company has otherwise complied with the terms hereof, the Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion, including the
right to settle any claim, action or proceeding against any Indemnitee without the consent of such Indemnitee, provided such settlement includes a full release of the Indemnitee by the claimant from all liabilities or potential liabilities under
such claim. 
 3. Additional Indemnification Rights: Nonexclusivity. 
 (a) Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law and in accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding that such indemnification may not be specifically authorized by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change after the date of this
Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that each
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of
Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this 

  

 -5- 








 
Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 8(a)
hereof. 
 (b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which any
Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise. The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to each Indemnitee for any action that Director or Officer took or did not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though the Director or Officer may have ceased to serve in
such capacity. 
 4. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in
connection with any Claim made against any Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
 5. Partial Indemnification. If any Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement
to indemnification by the Company for any portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which
such Indemnitee is entitled. 
 6. Mutual Acknowledgment. The Company and each Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances,
federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, controlling persons, fiduciaries or other agents or affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise. Each Indemnitee understands, acknowledges and agrees
that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s rights
under public policy to indemnify the Indemnitees, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary. 
 7. Liability Insurance. To
the extent the Company maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, control persons, fiduciaries or other agents and affiliates, such Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide to such
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if such Indemnitee is a director, or of the Company’s officers, if such Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an
officer; or of the Company’s controlling persons, fiduciaries or other agents or affiliates, if such Indemnitee is not and officer or director but is a control person, fiduciary, agent or affiliate. 
 8. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement: 
 (a) Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnify any Indemnitee for any intentional malfeasance by the Indemnitee or any
act undertaken by the Indemnitee where the Indemnitee did not in good faith believe the Indemnitee was acting in the best interests of the 

  

 -6- 








 
Company, or for any other acts, omissions or transactions from which the Indemnitee may not be relieved of liability under applicable law; 
 (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to any Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by
such Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings to establish or enforce a right to indemnity under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnification Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as
otherwise required under the Delaware General Corporation Law, regardless of whether such Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be; 
 (c) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify any Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by such Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or 
 (d) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify any Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
such Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute. 
 9. Construction

 (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliated Person” means Oak Investment -Partners XI,
Limited Partnership. 
 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the
resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees, agents, fiduciaries and other Affiliated Persons, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent, control person, fiduciary or an Affiliated Person of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, control person, agent or fiduciary or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, such Indemnitee shall stand in the
same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to
“fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on any Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, office, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director,

officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or other Affiliated Person with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if any
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, such Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed
to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement a “Change in
Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if after the date of this Agreement (i) any “person” (as such term in used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or

election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in

represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the

to each Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect with

Indemnitee as a basis for such action were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In connection with such action, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the advancement of expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses
and obligations incurred in connection investigating, defending a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such action) with respect to such action, unless, as a part of
