ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
Following the close of The Nasdaq Stock Market on August 20, 2008, IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC) completed the spin-off (the Spin-Off) of HSN, Inc. (HSN), Interval Leisure Group, Inc. (ILG), Ticketmaster and Tree.com, Inc. (Tree.com, and collectively with HSN, ILG and Ticketmaster, the Spincos) to IAC shareholders. Prior to the Spin-Off, each of the Spincos was a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC. In connection with the Spin-Off, on August 20, 2008, IAC and the Spincos entered into the following agreements (collectively, the Spin-Off Agreements):
· a Separation and Distribution Agreement that sets forth the arrangements among IAC and each of the Spincos regarding the principal transactions necessary to separate each of the Spincos from IAC, and that governs certain aspects of the relationship of a Spinco with IAC and the other Spincos after the Spin-Off;
· a Tax Sharing Agreement that governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of IAC and each Spinco after the Spin-Off with respect to tax periods ending on or before the Spin-Off, including tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns;
· an Employee Matters Agreement that covers a wide range of compensation and benefit issues, including the allocation among IAC and the Spincos of responsibility for the employment and benefit obligations and liabilities of each companys current and former employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries), as well as the provision of health and welfare benefits to employees of each Spinco (the costs of which will be borne by each Spinco) pursuant to IACs employee benefit plans through the end of 2008; and
· a Transition Services Agreement that governs the provision of transition services among IAC and the Spincos.
The Spin-Off Agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to this report on Form 8-K and a summary of the material terms of such agreements (which is qualified by reference in its entirety to the full text of the Spin-Off Agreements) is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
Item 1.01 of this report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. On August 20, 2008, IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC) completed the spin-off of HSN, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Ticketmaster and Tree.com, Inc. to IAC shareholders.

ITEM 3.03. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The text in Item 8.01 of this report on Form 8-K under the heading Consummation of Notes Exchange and Cash Tender Offer; Amendments to Indenture is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
In connection with the Spin-Off and the related one-for-two reverse stock split effected immediately following the completion of the Spin-Off, on August 20, 2008, IAC amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the one-for-two reverse stock split. The Certificate of Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of IAC is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
Adjustments to Publicly Traded Warrants
IAC adjusted its publicly traded warrants to reflect the Spin-Off and one-for-two reverse stock split effected immediately following the completion of the Spin-Off in accordance with the appropriate adjustment provisions set forth in the applicable warrant agreements. The adjustments to the number of shares of IAC common stock underlying IACs publicly traded warrants (i) were based on (A) $17.71 (the average of the daily closing prices of IAC common stock in the regular way market for the period commencing on July 28, 2008 and ending on August 8, 2008 (the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding August 11, 2008, the record date for the Spin-Off)), and (B) the closing price of common stock of each of HSN, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com ($12.61, $14.12, $21.64 and $7.42) in the when-issued market on August 20, 2008, multiplied by the fraction of a share of each such Spinco issued in respect of one share of IAC common stock or Class B common stock and (ii) reflect the one-for-two reverse stock split.
As a result of these adjustments, each warrant that trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol IACIW now entitles its holder to purchase 0.568454 of a share of IAC common stock at an exercise price of $19.49 per warrant and each warrant that trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol IACIZ now entitles its holder to purchase
1.102090 shares of IAC common stock at an exercise price of $14.44 per warrant. With respect to warrants that are not publicly traded, IAC will provide written notice of actual adjustments to holders of those securities following the completion of the Spin-Off.

Consummation of Notes Exchange and Cash Tender Offer; Amendments to Indenture
As previously announced, on July 17, 2008, IAC and Interval Acquisition Corp. (Interval), which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC, entered into a Notes Exchange and Consent Agreement (the Notes Exchange Agreement) with certain institutional holders (the Noteholders) of IACs 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the IAC Notes) unaffiliated with IAC that then held in excess of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding IAC Notes. Under the Notes Exchange Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes Exchange Agreement, IAC agreed to exchange (the Exchange) $300 million in aggregate principal amount of new 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the Interval Senior Notes) to be issued by Interval to IAC for a portion of the IAC Notes held by certain of the Noteholders (the Exchanging Noteholders).
Prior to the spin-off of ILG (the Interval Spin-Off), Interval issued the Interval Senior Notes to IAC and thereafter became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILG. IAC exchanged the Interval Senior Notes for certain IAC Notes held by the Exchanging Noteholders immediately after the Interval Spin-Off. Additionally, in conjunction with the Exchange, IAC agreed in the Notes Exchange Agreement to amend the terms of IACs then pending cash tender offer for any and all of the IAC Notes (the Tender Offer), as p reviously disclosed, so as to increase the price offered for any IAC Notes tendered for cash pursuant to the Tender Offer. The issuance and exchange of the Interval Senior Notes, together with the amended Tender Offer, were made in connection with the Interval Spin-Off, and were intended to give rise to a succession event (with Interval as the sole successor to IAC) for credit derivatives purposes.
On August 20, 2008, following the Interval Spin-Off, IAC accepted for payment all IAC Notes validly tendered in the amended Tender Offer and consummated the purchase of IAC Notes pursuant to the amended Tender Offer and the Exchange. The following table sets forth the change, on a pro forma basis, in the amount of Total Obligations of IAC outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Interval Spin-Off, the purchase of IAC Notes pursuant to the amended Tender Offer and the Exchange (collectively, the Transactions), as compared to the amount of Total Obligations outstanding on the day preceding consummation of the Transactions:

The Amendments, which are described in the August 13 8-K, became operative pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the August 13 8-K, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. The Supplemental Indenture is incorporated herein by reference.
The aggregate amount of cash paid by IAC to holders of IAC Notes in connection with the consummation of the Tender Offer and the Exchange totaled approximately $511 million.

Statements not paid within such 30-day period shall be subject to late charges, calculated at an interest rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower), and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed,
6
accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment. Payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated in writing from time to time by the applicable Service Provider.
3.05. Disclaimer of Warranty. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES TO BE PURCHASED UNDER THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. In the event that the provision of any Service for the account of a Receiving Party by a Service Provider conflicts with such Service Providers provision of such Service for its own account or the account of other Receiving Parties, priority for the provision of such Service shall be allocated in a equitable manner on an aggregate basis, and in a manner consistent with the Receiving Partys level of use of such Service during fiscal year 2008 up to the applicable Effective Date (or as described in the applicable entry on the Services Schedule).
3.06. Taxes. In the event that any Tax is properly chargeable on the provision of the Services as indicated in the applicable entry on the Services Schedule, the Receiving Party shall be responsible for and shall pay to the applicable Service Provider the amount of any such Tax in addition to and at the same time as the applicable Service fees. All Service fees and other consideration will be paid free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Tax, except as may be required by law.
3.07. Use of Services. Each party, in its capacity as a Receiving Party agrees with each applicable providing Party that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, resell any Services to any person whatsoever or permit the use of the Services by any person other than in connection with the conduct of such Receiving Partys operations as conducted immediately prior to the applicable Effective Date.
ARTICLE IV
Term of Services
4.01. Subject to Section 7.01, the provision of each Service shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate no later than twelve (12) months after the date hereof or as of the date indicated for each such Service in the applicable entry on the Services Schedule; provided, however, that subject to the applicable entry on the Services Schedule, any Service may be cancelled or reduced in amount or any portion thereof by the Receiving Party upon ninety (90) days written notice thereof (or such other notice period if one is set forth for such Service in the applicable entry on the Services Schedule) to the applicable Service Provider subject to the requirement that such Receiving Party pay to the applicable Service Provider the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by such Service Provider, as well as the actual incremental internal costs incurred by such Service Provider, in each case directly resulting from such cancellation (including employee severance and other termination costs), which out-of-pocket and internal costs shall be set forth in a written statement provided by such Service Provider to the Receiving
7
Party; provided, further, that such costs shall not exceed amounts payable hereunder in respect of the applicable Service for the ninety (90) days prior to such termination. The forgoing notwithstanding and subject to Section 7.02, (i) a Service Provider may immediately terminate any individual Service provided to a Receiving Party in the event that the Receiving Party fails to make payments for such Service under Section 3.02 and has not cured such failure within thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure from the applicable Service Provider, and (ii) upon ninety (90) days written notice, the Service Provider may terminate any Service provided to a Receiving Party at such time as the Service Provider no longer provides the same Service to itself for its own account.
4.02. In the event a Receiving Party requests an extension of the term applicable to the provision of Services, such request shall be considered in good faith by the applicable Service Provider. Any terms, conditions or costs or fees to be paid by the Receiving Party for Services provided during an extended term will be on terms mutually acceptable to such Service Provider and Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall a Service Provider be required to extend the term of provision of any Service if (i) the Service Provider does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to continue providing such Services, (ii) the extension of the term would interfere with the operation of the Service Providers business or (iii) the extension would require capital expenditure on the part of the Service Provider or otherwise require the Service Provider to renew or extend any Contract with any third party.
ARTICLE V
Force Majeure
5.01. The Service Providers shall not be liable for any expense, loss or damage whatsoever arising out of any interruption of Service or delay or failure to perform under this Services Agreement that is due to acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, acts of a nation or any state, territory, province or other political division thereof, changes in applicable law, fires, hurricanes, floods, epidemics, riots, theft, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes or other similar causes beyond the reasonable control of the Service Providers. In any such event, the applicable Service Providers obligations hereunder shall be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account thereof. Each Service Provider will promptly notify the recipient of the Service, either orally or in writing, upon learning of the occurrence of such event of force majeure. Upon the cessation of the force majeure event, such Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume, or to cause any other relevant Service Provider to resume, its performance with the least practicable delay (provided that, at the election of the applicable Receiving Party, the applicable term for such suspended Service shall be extended by the length of the force majeure event).
8
ARTICLE VI

6.01. Consequential and Other Damages. None of the Service Providers shall be liable to any Receiving Party with respect to this Services Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever (except, in each case, to the extent any amount is paid to third parties by such Receiving Party or its Affiliates) which in any way arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of, the performance or nonperformance by it hereunder or the provision of, or failure to provide, any Service hereunder, including with respect to loss of profits, business interruptions or claims of customers.

Subject to Section 6.03 hereof, the liability of any Service Provider with respect to this Services Agreement to any Receiving Party or in respect of any Services provided to such Receiving Party or any act or failure to act in connection herewith (including, but not limited to, the performance or breach hereof), or from the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Service provided under or covered by this Services Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, shall be limited to actions or omissions resulting from intentional breach of this Services Agreement or gross negligence, and, in any event, such liability shall not exceed the fees previously paid to such Service Provider by such Receiving Party during the term of the applicable Service giving rise thereto.
6.03. Obligation to Re-perform. In the event of any breach of this Services Agreement by any Service Provider resulting from any error or defect in the performance of any Service (which breach such Service Provider can reasonably be expected to cure by re-performance in a commercially reasonable manner), the Service Provider shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to correct in all material respects such error, defect or breach or re-perform in all material respects such Service upon receipt of the written request of the applicable Receiving Party.
6.04. Indemnity. Except as otherwise provided in this Service Agreement (including the limitation of liability provisions in this Article VI), each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other Party from and against any Liability arising out of the intentional breach hereunder or gross negligence of the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates, employees, agents, or contractors (including with respect to the performance or nonperformance of any Service hereunder). The procedures set forth in Sections 6.04 and 6.05 of the Separation Agreement shall apply to any claim for indemnification hereunder.
ARTICLE VII

Exhibit 99.1
Summary of Material Terms of Spin-Off Agreements
The summary below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of the Spin-Off Agreements, which are filed as exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 to this report on Form 8-K.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
The Separation and Distribution Agreement will set forth the arrangements among IAC and each of the Spincos regarding the principal transactions necessary to separate each of the Spincos from IAC, as well as govern certain aspects of the relationship of a Spinco with IAC and other Spincos after the completion of the spin-offs.
Each Spinco will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and to cause the other members of its respective group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless), under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, IAC and each of the other Spincos, and each of their respective current and former directors, officers and employees, from and against any losses arising out of any breach by such indemnifying companies of the Spin-Off Agreements, any failure by such indemnifying company to assume and perform any of the liabilities allocated to such company and any liabilities relating to the indemnifying companys financial and business information included in filings made with the SEC in connection with the spin-offs. IAC will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Spincos, and each of their respective current and former directors, officers and employees, from and against losses arising out of any breach by IAC of the Spin-Off Agreements, and any failure by IAC to perform its obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Spin-Off Agreement.
In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement will also govern insurance and related reimbursement arrangements, provision and retention of records, access to information and confidentiality, cooperation with respect to governmental filings and third party consents and access to property.
Tax Sharing Agreement
The Tax Sharing Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of IAC and each Spinco after the spin-off of such Spinco with respect to taxes for periods ending on or before the spin-off of such Spinco. In general, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC will prepare and file the consolidated federal income tax return, and any other tax returns that include IAC (or any of its subsidiaries) and a Spinco (or any of its subsidiaries) for all taxable periods ending on or prior to, or including, the distribution date of such Spinco with the appropriate tax authorities, and, except as otherwise set forth below, IAC will pay any taxes relating thereto to the relevant tax authority (including any taxes attributable to an audit adjustment with respect to such returns; provided that IAC will not be responsible for audit adjustments relating to the business of a Spinco (or any of its subsidiaries) with respect to pre-spin off periods if such Spinco fails to fully cooperate with IAC in the conduct of such audit). Each Spinco will prepare and file all tax returns that include solely such Spinco and/or its subsidiaries and any separate company tax returns for such Spinco and/or its subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or prior to, or including, the distribution date of such Spinco, and will pay all taxes due with respect to such tax returns (including any taxes attributable to an audit adjustment with respect to such returns). In the event an adjustment with respect to a pre-spin off period for which IAC is responsible results in a tax benefit to a Spinco in a post-spin off period, such Spinco will be required to pay such tax benefit to IAC. In general, IAC controls all audits and administrative matters and other tax proceedings relating to the consolidated federal income tax return of the IAC group and any other tax returns for which the IAC group is responsible.
Under the Tax Sharing Agreement a Spinco generally (i) may not take (or fail to take) any action that would cause any representation, information or covenant contained in the separation documents or the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling and the tax opinion regarding the spin-off of such Spinco to be untrue, (ii) may not take (or fail to take) any other action that would cause the spin-off of such Spinco to lose its tax free status, (iii) may not sell, issue, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its equity securities (or equity securities of members of its group), except in certain specified transactions for a period of 25 months following the spin-off of such Spinco and (iv) may not, other than in the ordinary course of business, sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of its assets, liquidate, merge or consolidate with any other person for a period of 25 months following the spin-off. Tree.com
will not be subject to certain of the restrictions applicable to the other Spincos during the 25-month period following the spin-off of each such other Spinco. During the 25-month period, a Spinco may take certain actions prohibited by these covenants if (i) it obtains IACs prior written consent, (ii) it provides IAC with an IRS private letter ruling or an unqualified opinion of tax counsel to the effect that such actions will not affect the tax free nature of the spin-off of such Spinco, in each case satisfactory to IAC in its sole discretion, or (iii) IAC obtains a private letter ruling at such Spincos request. In addition, with respect to actions or transactions involving acquisitions of Spinco stock entered into at least 18 months after the distribution of such Spinco, such Spinco will be permitted to proceed with such transaction if it delivers an unconditional officers certificate establishing facts evidencing that such acquisition satisfies the requirements of a specified safe harbor set forth in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, and IAC, after due diligence, is satisfied with the accuracy of such certification.
Notwithstanding the receipt of any such IRS ruling, tax opinion or officers certificate, generally each Spinco must indemnify IAC and each other Spinco for any taxes and related losses resulting from (i) any act or failure to act by such Spinco described in the covenants above, (ii) any acquisition of equity securities or assets of such Spinco or any member of its group, and (iii) any breach by such Spinco or any member of its group of any representation or covenant contained in the separation documents or the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling or tax opinion concerning the spin-off of such Spinco.
Under U.S. federal income tax law, IAC and the Spincos are severally liable for all of IACs federal income taxes attributable to periods prior to and including the current taxable year of IAC, which ends on December 31, 2008. Thus, if IAC failed to pay the federal income taxes attributable to it under the Tax Sharing Agreement for periods prior to and including the current taxable year of IAC, the Spincos would be severally liable for such taxes. In the event a Spinco is required to make a payment in respect of a spin-off related tax liability of the IAC consolidated federal income tax return group under these rules for which such Spinco is not responsible under the Tax Sharing Agreement and full indemnification cannot be obtained from the Spinco responsible for such payment under the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC will indemnify the Spinco that was required to make the payment from and against the portion of such liability for which full indemnification cannot be obtained from the Spinco responsible for such payment under the Tax Sharing Agreement.
The Tax Sharing Agreement also contains provisions regarding the apportionment of tax attributes of the IAC consolidated federal income tax return group, the allocation of deductions with respect to compensatory equity interests, cooperation, and other customary matters. In general, tax deductions arising by reason of exercises of options to acquire IAC or Spinco stock, vesting of restricted IAC or Spinco stock, or settlement of restricted stock units with respect to IAC or Spinco stock held by any person will be claimed by the party that employs such person at the time of exercise, vesting or settlement, as applicable (or in the case of a former employee, the party that last employed such person).
Employee Matters Agreement
The employee matters agreement covers a wide range of compensation and benefit issues related to the spin-offs. In general, under the employee matters agreement (i) IAC will assume or retain (A) all liabilities with respect to IAC employees, former IAC employees (excluding any former employees of the Spincos) and their dependents and beneficiaries under all IAC employee benefit plans, and (B) all liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of all IAC employees, former IAC employees (excluding any former employees of the Spincos) and their dependents and beneficiaries and (ii) Each Spinco will assume or retain (A) all liabilities under its employee benefit plans, and (B) all liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of all such Spincos employees, former employees and their dependents and beneficiaries.
Subject to a transition period through the end of 2008 with respect to health and welfare benefits, after the spin-offs, the Spincos no longer will participate in IACs employee benefit plans, but will have established their own employee benefit plans that are currently expected to be substantially similar to the plans sponsored by IAC prior to the spin-offs. Through the end of 2008, IAC will continue to provide health and welfare benefits to employees of the Spincos and each Spinco will bear the cost of this coverage with respect to its employees. Assets and liabilities from the IAC Retirement Savings Plan relating to Spinco employees and former employees will be transferred to the applicable, newly established Spinco Retirement Savings Plan as soon as practicable following the spin-offs. For a
description of the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards pursuant to the employee matters agreement, see The SeparationTreatment of Outstanding IAC Compensatory Equity-Based Awards.
Transition Services Agreement
Pursuant to a transition services agreement among IAC and the Spincos, each of IAC and the Spincos currently expect that some combination of the following services, among others, will be provided by/to the parties (and/or their respective businesses) as set forth below on an interim, transitional basis following completion of the spin-offs: (i) assistance with certain legal, finance, internal audit, human resources, insurance and tax affairs, including assistance with certain public company functions, from IAC to the Spincos, (ii) continued coverage/participation for employees of the Spincos under IAC health and welfare plans on the same basis as immediately prior to the distribution; (iii) the leasing/subleasing of office and/or data center space by IAC and its businesses to various Spincos (and vice versa); (iv) assistance with the implementation and hosting of certain software applications by/from IAC and its businesses for various Spincos (and vice versa); (v) call center and customer relations services by Ticketmaster to IACs Reserve America business and Tree.com; (vi) payroll processing services by Ticketmaster to certain IAC businesses and an ILG business and by HSNi to IAC; (vii) tax compliance services by HSNi to ILG and accounting services by Ticketmaster to IAC; and (viii) such other services as to which any Spinco(s) and IAC may agree.
The charges for these services will be on a cost plus fixed percentage or hourly rate basis to be agreed upon prior to the completion of the spin-offs. In general, the services to be provided by/to the parties (and/or their respective businesses) will begin on the date of the completion of the spin-offs and will cover a period generally not expected to exceed 12 months following the spin-offs. Any party may terminate the agreement with respect to one or more particular services being received by it upon such notice as will be provided for in the transition services agreement.

Exhibit 99.4
[Letterhead of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz]
August 20, 2008
IAC/InterActiveCorp
555 West 18th Street
New York, New York 10011
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to IAC/InterActiveCorp, a Delaware corporation (IAC), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the Separation Agreement), dated as of the date hereof, by and among IAC, Ticketmaster, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (TM Spinco), Interval Leisure Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (Interval Spinco), HSN, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (HSN Spinco), and Tree.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (Tree Spinco, together with TM Spinco, Interval Spinco and HSN Spinco, the Spincos, and each of the Spincos, a Spinco). At your request, we are rendering our opinion as to certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Distributions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Separation Agreement.
In providing our opinion, we have reviewed: (i) the Separation Agreement; (ii) the agreements identified in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Ancillary Agreements; (iii) the registration statement on Form S-1, as amended through the date hereof, and the exhibits thereto of each Spinco (the Forms S-1); (iv) IACs request for rulings submitted to the Internal Revenue Service on April 11, 2008, as supplemented through the date hereof, including all exhibits and appendices thereto (the Ruling Request), in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement; (v) certain resolutions adopted by the IAC board of directors and the board of directors of each Spinco; (vi) a letter, dated as of the date hereof, from one of IACs financial advisors addressed to the IAC board of directors and to us, substantiating certain of the corporate business purposes for the Distributions (the Banker Letter); (vii) a letter, dated as of the date hereof, from each of IAC, TM Spinco, Interval Spinco, HSN Spinco and Tree Spinco substantiating certain of the corporate business purposes of the Distributions (the Fit and Focus Letters); (viii) a representation letter, dated as of the date hereof, from IAC, TM Spinco, Interval Spinco, HSN Spinco and Tree Spinco (the Representation Letter); and (viii) such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to give the opinion set forth herein.
For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed: (i) that the statements contained in the Banker Letter and the Fit and Focus Letters are true and correct, and the statements and representations contained in the Representation Letter delivered in connection herewith and in the Ruling Request are true, complete, and correct as of the date hereof and will remain true, complete, and correct at all times up to and including the Distributions; (ii) that all statements and representations made to the knowledge or belief of any person or entity or with comparable qualification are true, complete, and correct as if made without such qualification; (iii) that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals; (iv) that the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement will be consummated as described therein (and no covenants or conditions set forth therein and affecting this opinion will be waived or modified) and in the Ruling Request; (v) that IAC, TM Spinco, Interval Spinco, HSN Spinco, and Tree Spinco will treat the Distributions for federal income tax purposes in a manner consistent with the opinion set forth below; (vi) that the information and statements contained in the Forms S-1, IACs proxy statement relating to the annual meeting of stockholders held on August 1, 2008, and IACs Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and related Letter of Transmittal relating to IACs offer to purchase for cash (the Offer) any and all of its outstanding 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the IAC Notes), as amended through the date hereof, are true, complete, and correct; and (vii) that all applicable reporting requirements have been or will be satisfied. If any of the above described assumptions is untrue for any reason, or if the transactions are consummated in a manner that is different from the manner described in the Separation Agreement or in the Ruling Request, our opinion as expressed below may be adversely affected.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, under presently applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder:
1. The TM Distribution will be a transaction described in Section 355(a) and/or Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code;
2
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by IAC by reason of the TM Distribution, other than with respect to any excess loss account or intercompany transaction required to be taken into account under Treasury Regulations relating to consolidated returns;
3. No gain or loss will be recognized by (and no amount will be includible in the income of) any holder of IAC Common Stock or IAC Class B Common Stock by reason of such holders receipt of TM Common Stock in the TM Distribution, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of TM Common Stock;
4. The transfer by IAC of the Vacations Business to Interval Spinco (the Interval Contribution) and the assumption by Interval Spinco of related liabilities, if any, followed by the distribution by IAC of Interval Common Stock to holders of IAC Common Stock and IAC Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Interval Distribution will qualify as a reorganization under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code;
5. No gain or loss will be recognized by IAC or Interval Spinco by reason of the Interval Contribution or the Interval Distribution, other than with respect to any excess loss account or intercompany transaction required to be taken into account under Treasury Regulations relating to consolidated returns;
6. No gain or loss will be recognized by (and no amount will be includible in the income of) any holder of IAC Common Stock or IAC Class B Common Stock by reason of such holders receipt of Interval Common Stock in the Interval Distribution, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Interval Common Stock;
7. The transfer by IAC of the Retailing Business to HSN Spinco (the HSN Contribution) and the assumption by HSN Spinco of related liabilities, if any, followed by the distribution by IAC of HSN Common Stock to holders of IAC Common Stock and IAC Class B Common Stock pursuant to the HSN Distribution will qualify as a reorganization under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code;
8. No gain or loss will be recognized by IAC or HSN Spinco by reason of the HSN Contribution or the HSN Distribution, other than with respect to any excess loss account or intercompany transaction required to be taken into account under Treasury Regulations relating to consolidated returns;
9. No gain or loss will be recognized by IAC with respect to cash received from HSN Spinco in connection with the HSN Contribution, provided that such cash is transferred to creditors of IAC pursuant to the plan of reorganization, including to beneficial owners of IAC Notes pursuant to the Offer;
3
10. No gain or loss will be recognized by (and no amount will be includible in the income of) any holder of IAC Common Stock and IAC Class B Common Stock by reason of such holders receipt of HSN Common Stock in the HSN Distribution, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of HSN Common Stock;
11. The transfer by IAC of the Lending and Real Estate Business to Tree Spinco (the Tree Contribution) and the assumption by Tree Spinco of related liabilities, if any, followed by the distribution by IAC of Tree Common Stock to holders of IAC Common Stock and IAC Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Tree Distribution will qualify as a reorganization under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D);
12. No gain or loss will be recognized by IAC or Tree Spinco by reason of the Tree Contribution or the Tree Distribution, other than with respect to any excess loss account or intercompany transaction required to be taken into account under Treasury Regulations relating to consolidated returns; and
13. No gain or loss will be recognized by (and no amount will be includible in the income of) any holder of IAC Common Stock or IAC Class B Common Stock by reason of such holders receipt of Tree Common Stock in the Tree Distribution, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Tree Common Stock.
This opinion relates solely to the federal income tax consequences of the Distributions and certain related matters. We render no opinion as to: (i) the federal income tax consequences of any conditions existing at the time of, or resulting from, the Distributions that are not specifically addressed above; (ii) except as expressly provided above with respect to the Interval Contribution, the HSN Contribution and the Tree Contribution, the federal income tax consequences of any internal restructuring steps or other transactions that occurred or will occur in connection with or in anticipation of the Distributions or any other transactions that occurred or will occur in connection with the Distributions, including, without limitation, whether any such transaction gives rise to an excess loss account or is an intercompany transaction; (iii) except as expressly provided in item 9 above, the federal income tax treatment of any distribution received by IAC; (iv) the federal income tax consequences of the transfer by IAC of the stock of FLMG Holdings Corp. to TM Spinco in exchange for intercompany receivables held by TM Spinco; (v) the federal income tax consequences of the issuance of non-voting preferred stock of LendingTree Holdings Corp. to one or more individuals in exchange for services; (vi) the federal income tax consequences of non-arms length payments (if any) made in connection with the transactions; and (vii) the tax consequences of the Distributions or any related transactions under state, local, or foreign tax laws.
Our opinion is based on current provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service and case law, any of which may be changed at any time with retroactive effect. Any change in applicable
4
laws or the facts and circumstances surrounding the transactions, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions or representations upon which we have relied, may affect the continuing validity of our opinion as set forth herein. We assume no responsibility to inform IAC of any such change or inaccuracy that may occur or come to our attention.
This opinion may not be applicable to holders of shares of IAC common stock who received their IAC common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or who are not citizens or residents of the United States, or the distribution of shares to such holders. In addition, this opinion may not be applicable to holders of shares of IAC common stock who are subject to special treatment under the Code (such as insurance companies, financial institutions, dealers in securities, or tax-exempt organizations).
We are furnishing this opinion solely to IAC in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, and it is not to be relied upon, used, quoted, or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or by any other party without our prior consent. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Form 8-K of IAC. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz
