Form of Performance Award Agreement

 Exhibit 10.24 
 PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT 
 THIS PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of «award_date» (the “Award Date”) is between HSN, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and «Participant» (the “Participant”). Capitalized terms used,
but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). 

1. Award  
 (a)
Pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Program promulgated under the Plan (the “LTIP”), in order to encourage Participant’s continued contribution to the successful performance of the Company, the Company hereby
grants to the Participant a performance award to be payable in cash in the target amount of «Award Amount» assuming target performance and to be adjusted based on actual performance, as more specifically described below (the
“Award”). The Participant hereby acknowledges and accepts such Award upon the terms and subject to the performance requirements and other conditions, restrictions and limitations contained in this Agreement and the Plan. 

(b) The amount of such Award will be based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance over the three
year period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2014 (the “Performance Period”) relative to the TSR performance of the Comparator Companies (as defined below). The amount of the Award, calculated based on the
applicable percentile ranking of the Company relative to the Comparator Companies, shall be determined based on the schedule attached hereto as Schedule A and the terms provided in this Agreement. 

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, TSR means the change in fair market value over the specified period of time,
expressed as a percentage, of an initial investment in specified common stock, including the effect of any dividends actually paid as if the dividends were invested in the stock of the Company or the Comparator Companies, as the case may be, and
proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reorganizations or similar transactions occurring during the Performance Period, as provided herein or as determined utilizing such methodology as the Committee, or its delegate, shall have approved.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, or its delegate, shall have the discretion to make appropriate and equitable adjustments of the TSR of any company (including the Company) whose shares trade ex-dividend as of December 31, 2014;
provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be permitted if it would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the Award under Section 162(m) of the Code. The TSR shall be based on the trailing 30-trading day average
closing stock prices of the Company and the Comparator Companies measured as of (and including the 30th day) the first and last trading days of the Performance Period. 

 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Comparator Companies shall be those companies listed
on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Retailing Index (the “Index”) as of January 1, 2012, the first day of the Performance Period; provided, however, that the Comparator Companies shall be changed as follows: 

 

	 	i.	In the event that a company becomes a member of the Index following January 1, 2012, such company shall not be taken into account for purposes of this Agreement.
However, in the event that, at any time during the Performance Period, a company is no longer included in the Index, such company shall still be included as a Comparator Company. 

 

	 	ii.	In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a Comparator Company with or by another Comparator Company, the surviving entity shall
remain a Comparator Company, without adjustment to its financial or market structure provided that the surviving company is still in the Index. 

  

	 	iii.	In the event of a merger of a Comparator Company with or by an entity that is not a Comparator Company, or the acquisition or business combination transaction by a
Comparator Company of or with an entity that is not a Comparator Company, in each case, where the Comparator Company is the surviving entity, the surviving entity shall remain a Comparator Company, without adjustment to its financial or market
structure, provided that the Comparator Company is still in the Index; 

  

	 	iv.	In the event of a merger or acquisition or business combination transaction of a Comparator Company with or by an entity that is not a Comparator Company or other form
of “going private” transaction relating to any Comparator Company, where such Comparator Company is not the surviving entity or is otherwise no longer publicly traded, the company will no longer be included as a Comparator Company.

  

	 	v.	In the event of a bankruptcy of a Comparator Company, such company shall remain a Comparator Company, without adjustment to its financial or market condition.

 2. Vesting of Award 
 Subject to Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement, the Award shall vest on December 31, 2014 (the “Vesting Date”). Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to
continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s service at any time, with or without cause.

 3. Settlement of Award 

(a) Provided the Participant continued to meet the eligibility requirements described in the LTIP Description and is in an eligible
position at the conclusion of the Performance Period, As soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing the Company’s TSR performance and the amount of the Award to which the Participant is
entitled to receive. The Award will be paid to the Participant no later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Performance Period. 
 (b) To the extent required by federal, state or local law, the Company shall have the right to withhold and deduct from the payments due to the Participant pursuant to the Award, amounts that would
otherwise be delivered pursuant hereto for the payment of taxes or other amounts required by law and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. 

4. Non-Transferability of the Award  
 The Award shall not be transferable by the Participant by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, attachment or otherwise transferred or encumbered and any such purported assignment,
exchange, encumbrance, pledge or attachment shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. 
 5. Forfeiture  

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2, and except as provided in Section 6, in the event of termination of the
Participant’s service with the Company prior to the Vesting Date for any reason, including by reason of death or Disability, the entire amount of the unvested Award shall be forfeited by the Participant and canceled in its entirety effective
immediately upon such termination. 
 6. Adjustment in the Event of Change in Control 

(a) In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in Section 10(c) of the Plan, after the Vesting Date but prior to the payment of
the Award, Participant will receive the entire amount of the Award to which the Participant is entitled. 
 (b) In the event
that, prior to the Vesting Date, there occurs (i) a Change in Control and (ii) a Termination of Employment of the Participant by the Company for other than Cause or Disability or by the Participant for Good Reason, then the Participant
shall be paid the Award at the target level but prorated over the number of months during the Performance Period that the Participant was employed by the Company, subject to Section 6(c) below. 

(c) In order to reflect the time value of the earlier payment of the Performance Cash payout and to satisfy IRS Regulation
§1.162-27(e)(2)(iii)(B), the amount of the Performance Cash payout shall be equal to the present value of the amount that would have been payable had the Participant been employed on the Vesting Date, based upon the whole number of months

  
 3 

 
between the first day of the month in which the Change in Control occurs and the Vesting Date, and the Federal short-term rate determined by the IRS pursuant to §1274 of the Internal Revenue
Code for the month in which the Change in Control occurs, compounded monthly. 
 7. Other Agreements and Acknowledgments 

 (a) By accepting the grant evidenced by of this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the LTIP
is established voluntarily by the Company; it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement; (ii) the grant of the Award is
voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of cash awards, or benefits in lieu of cash awards, even if cash awards have been granted in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to
future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the future value of the Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (v) in consideration of the grant of the Award, no claim of entitlement to
compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award resulting from a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or Change in Control, and the Participant irrevocably releases the
Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably
to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and (vi) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment (whether or not in breach of local
labor laws), the Participant’s right to receive awards or vest in awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated
under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor
laws), the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award.
