      to the terms of the Employment
      Agreement, Mr. Evangelist will receive an initial annual base salary of
      $350,000, subject to annual performance review, and will also receive a lump
      sum
      signing and retention bonus of $250,000 in October 2007.&#160;&#160;This bonus
      must be repaid to the Company by Mr. Evangelist in the event his employment
      with
      the Company is terminated for Cause or if he resigns without Good Reason (both
      as defined in the Employment Agreement), provided that such repayment amount
      will be reduced by $20,834 for each month of employment with the Company that
      Mr. Evangelist completes.&#160;&#160;Mr. Evangelist will also be eligible to
      receive an annual target incentive bonus of up to 60% of his annual base salary,
      depending on the achievement of certain performance goals to be established
      by
      the Compensation Committee of the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors.&#160;&#160;While
      Mr. Evangelist will be employed on an at-will basis, the Employment Agreement
      provides that in the event of his termination for any reason other than for
      Cause or other than as a result of his own voluntary resignation without Good
      Reason, Mr. Evangelist will be entitled to severance payments equal to one
      year&#8217;s base salary (payable over one year in accordance with the Company&#8217;s
      regular pay practices), plus a pro rated portion of his annual performance
      bonus
      for the year in which he was terminated, and reimbursement for the cost of
      COBRA
      coverage for a period of up to twelve months following his termination of
      employment.</font></div>

      Option Agreements, consisting of a performance-based option to purchase up

      aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, which vests based
      upon the attainment of certain stock price metrics (the &#8220;Performance Option&#8221;),
      and an option to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s
      common stock, which vests over a four year period (the &#8220;Second
      Option&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The exercise price for both options is $8.65, which was the

Item
      1.01.                      Entry
      Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
      October 12, 2007, U.S. Auto Parts
      Network, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Employment Agreement (the
"Employment Agreement") with Shane Evangelist, pursuant to which Mr. Evangelist
      will serve as the Company's Chief Executive Officer effective as of October 15,
      2007.  Mr. Evangelist succeeds Mehran Nia, who has served as the
      Company's President and Chief Executive Officer since founding the Company in
      1995 until October 12, 2007.  Mr. Nia will continue to serve on the
      Board of Directors of the Company and will be working with Mr. Evangelist to
      facilitate an orderly transition of his responsibilities.
Prior
      to joining the Company, Mr.
      Evangelist served as Senior Vice President & General Manager of Blockbuster
      Online, where he was responsible for leading the creation, development and
      launch of Blockbuster's online movie rental service.   Mr.
      Evangelist, who joined Blockbuster Inc. in 2001, also served as Vice President
      of Strategic Planning for the international video rental company with
      responsibility for strategy development, mergers and acquisitions, marketing
      and
      capital deployment.
Pursuant
      to the terms of the Employment
      Agreement, Mr. Evangelist will receive an initial annual base salary of
      $350,000, subject to annual performance review, and will also receive a lump
      sum
      signing and retention bonus of $250,000 in October 2007.  This bonus
      must be repaid to the Company by Mr. Evangelist in the event his employment
      with
      the Company is terminated for Cause or if he resigns without Good Reason (both
      as defined in the Employment Agreement), provided that such repayment amount
      will be reduced by $20,834 for each month of employment with the Company that
      Mr. Evangelist completes.  Mr. Evangelist will also be eligible to
      receive an annual target incentive bonus of up to 60% of his annual base salary,
      depending on the achievement of certain performance goals to be established
      by
      the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.  While
      Mr. Evangelist will be employed on an at-will basis, the Employment Agreement
      provides that in the event of his termination for any reason other than for
      Cause or other than as a result of his own voluntary resignation without Good
      Reason, Mr. Evangelist will be entitled to severance payments equal to one
      year's base salary (payable over one year in accordance with the Company's
      regular pay practices), plus a pro rated portion of his annual performance
      bonus
      for the year in which he was terminated, and reimbursement for the cost of
      COBRA
      coverage for a period of up to twelve months following his termination of
      employment.
In
      order to assist with Mr.
      Evangelist's move to Southern California, the Employment Agreement provides that
      the Company will reimburse Mr. Evangelist for his real estate sales commissions
      paid in connection with the sale of his current home and for closing costs
      for
      the purchase of a home in California, both up to a cap of $42,000 in the
      aggregate.
In
      connection with the Employment
      Agreement, Mr. Evangelist was granted two, ten year stock options under the
      Company's 2007 New Employee Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and Non-Qualified Stock
      Option Agreements, consisting of a performance-based option to purchase up
      to an
      aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which vests based
      upon the attainment of certain stock price metrics (the "Performance Option"),
      and an option to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Company's
      common stock, which vests over a four year period (the "Second
      Option").  The exercise price for both options is $8.65, which was the
      closing sales price of the Company's common stock as reported by Nasdaq on the
      date of grant.  Both options terminate on October 14, 2017, unless
      earlier terminated in accordance with the Plan and the related stock option
      agreements.
Fifty
      percent (50%) of the shares
      underlying the Performance Option will vest and become exercisable if the
      monthly average closing sales price of the Company's common stock as reported by
      the NASDAQ (the "Average Closing Price") equals or exceeds $14.00 per share in
      any consecutive three month period prior to October 15, 2012.  The
      remaining 50% of the shares underlying the Performance Option vest and become
      exercisable if the Average Closing Price equals or exceeds $18.00 per share
      in
      any consecutive three-month period prior to October 15, 2012.  In
      addition, if the Average Closing Price for one or both of the foregoing
      milestones has been achieved during the one or two calendar months prior to
      his
      termination of employment (other than for Cause or due to death or disability)
      or upon his resignation for Good Reason, Mr. Evangelist may have up to an
      additional two months following his termination of employment to attain the
      stock price milestones.  The stock price milestones will be adjusted
      for any stock dividends, splits, combinations or similar events with respect
      to
      the Company's common stock.
The
      Second Option vests over a four
      year period, with 25% vesting and becoming exercisable on October 15, 2008,
      and
      the remainder vests and becomes exercisable in 36 equal monthly installments
      thereafter.  In the event that Mr. Evangelist's employment with the
      Company is terminated for any reason other than for Cause or if he resigns
      without Good Reason following certain changes in control of the Company, the
      Second Option will immediately vest and become fully exercisable.
