Re:    Letter Agreement re Sign-On Bonus, Indemnification and Defense

Dear Chris:

As part of our offer of employment, CDW has agreed to pay you a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $78,400 to be paid within 14 days after your start date.  If you voluntarily terminate your employment with CDW for any reason or if CDW terminates your employment for Cause (as defined in the Compensation Protection Plan in which you will be a participant) within one year after your start date, you agree to repay this sign-on bonus to CDW.

As part of our offer of employment, CDW further has agreed to: (i) indemnify you from any liability/damages that may be assessed against you in connection with any dispute or action brought against you by Zones, Inc. related to or arising out of the Zones, Inc. Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement you signed on March 31, 2003 (the “Zones Agreement”); and (ii) provide legal defense to any action or dispute Zones may initiate against you in connection with the Zones Agreement, provided that such action or dispute arises from your employment with CDW.  CDW’s offer is subject to the following conditions:     

(i)     Your representation that to the best of your knowledge, you have made full and truthful disclosure to CDW of all facts and circumstances relating to the subject matter of the Zones Agreement, including but not limited to your representation that you did not take any of Zones’ Proprietary Information as defined in paragraph 1 of the Zones Agreement when you left Zones’ employ; 

(ii)     Your representations that you will not at any time in the performance of your duties for CDW use any of Zones’ Proprietary Information as defined in paragraph 1 of the Zones Agreement;  

(iii)    Your agreement to be represented by counsel of CDW’s choosing, and to the extent CDW may also be a party to any action covered by this agreement and CDW decides to have its counsel also represent you, your execution of a joint representation agreement allowing counsel to represent both you and CDW;

(iv)    Your agreement that any and all information disclosed by you in the course of any action covered by this agreement, or which your counsel may become aware, may be disclosed to CDW; and

(v)    You remain employed by CDW.

You specifically acknowledge that should any of these conditions not be met, CDW will not be obligated to indemnify you or continue to provide legal representation and that in such event, you would be obligated to reimburse CDW for all attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred to date in providing legal defense to you; provided, however, that you will be obligated to reimburse CDW due to the failure of condition (v) only if you voluntarily terminate your employment with CDW for any reason or if CDW terminates your employment for Cause (as defined in the Compensation Protection Plan in which you will be a participant) and in either case only with respect to attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred within the two year period prior to your last day of employment.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the matters addressed by this letter.  If not, and you are in agreement with these conditions, please sign this letter and return it to me at your earliest convenience.

Very truly yours,

/s/Thomas Richards

I represent that I have reviewed and understand the conditions of this agreement as set forth above, that I have been given the opportunity to consult independent legal counsel, and that by signing this letter, I accept and agree to the terms of this agreement.

Boston, MA  02116

Dear Pat,     

We are pleased to offer you the position of Vice President of Sales with Convio, Inc. reporting to Gene Austin.  As a VP of Sales, you will receive a base salary of $20,000 per month, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices.  Your base salary will be subject to statutory deductions and withholdings. At plan, your bonus incentive target will be $260,000 annually.   If earned, this incentive will be paid quarterly at the end of each fiscal quarter. The criteria against which the bonus opportunity will be measured shall be determined by the CEO, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.  

Subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock and be granted 25,000 RSU's.  The shares will be subject to the provisions of the company's stock option agreement plan.  The shares will vest over four years according to the following vesting schedule:  The options will vest 25% after the end of your first year of employment, and thereafter at 1/36th per month for the next three years, and are subject to the Convio Standard Stock Option Plan.  The option strike price will be determined by the Board of Directors at the meeting at which your options are approved.  The RSUs will be subject to the provisions of the restricted stock unit agreement.  The units will vest over four years in four equal annual installments beginning on the one year anniversary of the vesting commencement date.  

As an employee of the Company you will be eligible to enroll in the Company's benefit programs as they are established from time to time.  If you should have any specific questions regarding our current benefit programs, please feel free to call Jen Verzal or Angie McDermott in Human Resources.

In the event Convio is acquired within the two years of the commencement of your employment and your employment is terminated in connection with such acquisition or within 12 months thereafter,  your option and RSU - vesting would accelerate to such number of shares that would have been vested as of the second anniversary of your employment.  

The Company is an at-will employer, which means that your employment with the Company is for no specific period of time and may be terminated by the Company or you at any time, with or without prior notice and with or without cause.  This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company with respect to this term of employment, and it supercedes any prior representations or agreement, whether written or oral, concerning your term of employment with the Company.  The at-will nature of your employment may only be altered by written agreement signed by the Chief Executive Officer.  

In the event your employment is terminated without Cause, the Company will provide a six month
severance payment based on your then-current base salary provided you sign a general release of known
and unknown claims in form satisfactory to the Company and resign from all your positions with the
Company.

"Cause" shall mean (a) fraud or illegal acts; (b) material violation of any agreements between you and the Company, including your confidential information and inventions agreement with the company; or (c) a material failure to perform your job function to a reasonable standard after notice of such failure to you by the CEO and have had a 15 business-day period to cure such failure.

Your employment pursuant to this offer is contingent upon a start date of August 8, 2011 or another mutually agreed upon date, the completion of a successful background check and your execution of the Company's 

Confidentiality, Assignment and Non-Compete Agreement, which is attached hereto and upon its execution, is incorporated in this offer by this reference.  Please review the attached Confidentiality, Assignment and Non-Compete Agreement as you will be required to execute it upon your first day of employment.  You will also be required to provide the Company with legally acceptable proof of your identity and authorization to work in the United States within three (3) days of your start date, and your failure to do so will render this offer of employment void and unenforceable.  
This letter, and the attachments hereto, sets forth the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior representations, agreements, and understandings between you and any employee or representative of the Company whether written or oral.  Any modification to this agreement, other than the provisions regarding at-will employment which may only be altered by written agreement signed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, shall be in writing, signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company.  This agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas.

If this offer is acceptable to you, please sign one of the originals of this letter and return it to the Company.  The second original is for your files.  This offer is subject to satisfactory reference checks and on receiving your signed acceptance not later than the close of business on July 27, 2011.

If you have any questions regarding this offer letter, please call me at 512-652-7863.  We look forward to having you join us at Convio, Inc.  

Sincerely,

Angie McDermott
Convio, Inc.
