Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Non-Management Directors’ Compensation For Fiscal Year 2006

Directors who are also employees receive no fees for their services as directors. During 2008, all other directors received the following compensation for their services:

Annual Fee:	$50,000 per director.
Initial Equity Grant:	Options to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock upon becoming a director. The grant vests in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the board.
Annual Equity Grant:	Restricted common stock equal to a fixed dollar value of $135,000 is granted each year on the date of our Annual Meeting. This grant vests on the day of the following Annual Meeting, subject to the director’s continued service on the board.

Directors are eligible to participate in the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-qualified retirement plan. The Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan allows our non-employee directors to elect to defer between zero and 100% of the fees they would otherwise be entitled to receive in cash for services rendered as directors. Amounts deferred under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan are general liabilities of ours and are represented by bookkeeping accounts maintained on behalf of the participants. Such accounts are deemed to be invested in share units that track the value of our common stock. Distributions will generally be made to a participant either following the end of the participant’s service on our board of directors, following a change of control if so elected, or at a specified time elected by the participant prior to the deferral. Distributions will generally be made in the form of shares of our common stock. Our Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Our stock ownership and retention program requires non-employee members of our board of directors to own shares equal in value to four times their annual retainer. Directors are expected to attain the required share ownership level within five years from joining our board of directors.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This section contains a discussion of the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our executive officers. These executive officers include the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the three most highly compensated officers of DealerTrack, who we refer to in this section as the “named executive officers.”

Overview

The Company’s compensation philosophy is designed to support the key objective of creating value for the stockholders by growing the revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, increasing the total market capitalization and growing the share price. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and approving the compensation of our executive officers.

DealerTrack believes that a sound compensation philosophy and strategy serve to align the team members and focus the executive team and the whole company on the vision and the achievement of our stated strategic objectives and goals.

The Compensation Committee has established the following principles in determining the compensation of the executive officers:

• balance rewards for executives between short-term results and the long-term strategic decisions needed to ensure sustained success for the Company and its stockholders over time;

• attract and retain high-performing executive talent by paying competitive compensation;

• provide rewards consistent with performance by tying both the annual cash incentive program and the long term equity incentive program to corporate performance; and

• provide equity-based long term incentives which align management and stockholder interests.

The Compensation Committee has established a number of processes, described below, to ensure that the executive compensation achieves these objectives.

Compensation Processes and Criteria

Peer Group Information and Benchmarking

In connection with compensation decisions for 2008, the Compensation Committee reviewed market compensation data of a peer group of companies established by Ernst & Young, an independent compensation consultant that is retained by and reports to the Compensation Committee. The companies that comprised our 2008 peer group were: Choicepoint, Inc., Digital River, Inc., f5 Networks Inc., Radiant Systems, Inc., Salesforce.com, Inc., Tier Technologies, Inc., Websense, Inc., Blackbaud, Inc., Blackboard Inc., Heartland Payment Systems, Jack Henry & Associates, TNS, Inc. and Witness Systems, Inc.

The Compensation Committee uses the peer group compensation data primarily to ensure that the total direct compensation for executives is within the broad middle range of comparative pay while providing an opportunity for the annual cash bonus to attain the 75th percentile when targeted performance levels are exceeded. While peer group market data provides a useful starting point for compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee also takes into account factors such as level of responsibility, prior experience and individual performance in arriving at final compensation decisions. The elements of executive compensation include base salary, annual and long term incentive plans, and annual grants of equity awards. Executive compensation has a high proportion of total direct compensation delivered through pay-for-performance incentive and long-term equity compensation, equating to a greater proportion of at-risk compensation.

- 11 -

On November 12, 2008, the Compensation Committee re-evaluated the 2008 peer group companies to determine if any revisions should be made in connection with compensation decisions for 2009. The Compensation Committee elected to remove two companies whose legal structures made them no longer appropriate peers for the Company: Choicepoint, Inc. and Witness Systems, Inc.

Assessment of Company and Individual Performance

The Compensation Committee, in collaboration with senior management, annually establishes specific revenue and EBITDA targets that determine the size of bonus payouts under the annual incentive bonus plan. Individual performance directly determines total direct compensation levels (consisting of annual salary, annual bonus awards and long-term incentives) for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers.

The Compensation Committee meets with the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year to establish the Chief Executive Officer’s performance objectives (both individual and company) for the year. At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee conducts a performance review of the Chief Executive Officer based on his achievement of the pre-established objectives. The overall performance of the Chief Executive Officer and the company are considered by the Compensation Committee in setting the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation.

For all other executive officers, the Compensation Committee receives a performance assessment and compensation recommendation from the Chief Executive Officer. The performance evaluation of the other executive officers is based on achievement of pre-established objectives. The objectives for all executive officers are established by the CEO and include both corporate and individual objectives.

Total Compensation Review

The Compensation Committee annually reviews each executive officer’s base pay, bonus and equity incentive awards with the guidance of the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant. In addition to these compensation elements, the Compensation Committee reviews the long-term incentive program, deferred compensation program and the payments that would be required under various severance and change-in-control scenarios.

Components of Executive Compensation for 2008

Base Salary

Base salaries for DealerTrack’s named executive officers are pegged at the market median and are competitive with similar positions at the peer group companies. The base salaries of all executive officers are reviewed annually against market data and adjusted to reflect individual roles and performance. Adjustments to base salary are determined based upon market trends as well as individual performance and experience. Base salary may be adjusted during the year if a change in the scope of the executive officer’s responsibilities justifies such consideration. In 2008, the Compensation Committee increased the base salaries of each of the named executive officers from 2007 by approximately 3.77%. These salary increases were consistent with the base salary increases for the rest of the company’s employees.

None of DealerTrack’s named executive officers received an increase in base salary from 2008 to 2009. As of April 16, 2009, DealerTrack instituted a company-wide decrease of 5.29% in base salary for the rest of 2009 for all employees, including all executive officers.

Annual Incentive Bonus Plan

• Under the annual incentive bonus plan, the cash incentive bonus amounts are targeted at the 50th percentile of the peer group’s annual bonus compensation. Awards under the annual incentive plan are based upon the achievement of both corporate and individual goals, including EBITDA, total revenue and business unit revenue targets and individual performance. If we exceed the targets and achieve the stretch goals, the annual incentive bonus amount is then targeted at the 75th percentile of the peer group’s annual bonus compensation in order to provide rewards consistent with performance. The 2008 corporate performance targets were: an EBITDA target of $74.1 million, a corporate-wide revenue target of $282.4 million, as well as separate revenue targets for each of the business units. Under this plan, no annual bonuses were required to be paid in 2008 if the company did not meet an EBITDA threshold of $67.3 million. The company did not meet this threshold; accordingly, the payout of the 2008 bonus was at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

- 12 -

• EBITDA was used as the principal metric to review and assess the operating performance and the performance of the management team because EBITDA provides useful information with respect to the performance of the fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by equity research analysts and others in the evaluation of the company. For executive officers with company-wide responsibility, equal weight is given to total corporate revenue and EBITDA targets. For other executive officers who are responsible for business units, depending on their position, different weights are given to corporate and business unit revenues. In each case, additional weight is given to individual performance and attainment of individual goals.

• The annual incentive bonus target amounts, expressed as a percentage of base salary, are established for the named executive officers each year, with a target range of 50% to 80% of base salary for 2008 and a maximum range of 175% to 210% of base salary for 2008, depending on the executive officer’s position. As stated above, no bonuses are required to be paid under the plan if the company does not meet the pre-determined EBITDA threshold amount. If the EBITDA threshold amount and the respective revenue targets are exceeded, the Compensation Committee may increase or reduce payouts by up to 5% depending on performance relative to specific subscription and transaction revenue targets. The Compensation Committee may further positively or negative adjust the actual award to each executive officer depending on its assessment of each individual’s performance. In making this assessment, the Compensation Committee also considers the input of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to awards to the other executive officers. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considers additional non-financial factors such as leadership, leadership development, talent management and succession planning in determining the annual incentive bonus amount. The Compensation Committee may adjust the financial metrics in appropriate circumstances, such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business or the impact of foreign exchange rates. In 2008, the financial metrics were not adjusted.

The company had a challenging year in 2008 due to the unprecedented decline in the number of vehicles financed. However, despite the challenging economic environment for our business, the company achieved 3.8% growth in revenue. The growth achieved reflects the fact that the company was able to grow its subscription business 26.2%. Growing the subscription business is a key focus to eliminate our dependency on the transaction business.

The actual revenue and EBITDA in 2008 were $242.7 million and $41.4 million, respectively. Although no bonuses were required to be paid under the plan because the minimum EBITDA target for 2008 was not met, the Compensation Committee used its discretion to award cash incentive bonuses to executive officers that ranged from 0% to 45% of their respective base salaries. The Chief Executive Officer requested that the Compensation Committee not consider awarding him a bonus for 2008. The other named executive officers received bonus payouts equal to less than 45% of their respective bonus target amounts.

Annual Equity Grants

In order to align the executive officers’ interests with those of the stockholders, the Compensation Committee makes an annual equity grant each year to each executive officer. The Compensation Committee reviewed and considered competitive market information at or near the 50^th percentile of the company’s peer group and established awards within the competitive range of the 50^th percentile of the peer group. The following factors were also considered in determining the level of long-term incentives awarded to the executive officers:

• the executive’s performance;

• the executive’s potential future contributions to the company;

• the current compensation of the executive; and

• the current overall value of the executive’s long-term incentives.

- 13 -

The Compensation Committee uses non-qualified stock options instead of incentive stock options in order to preserve the company’s compensation expense tax deduction. The 2008 equity grants to our executive officers consisted solely of time-vesting stock options. The rationale for a grant consisting solely of stock options was the Compensation Committee’s desire to focus our executive officers directly on increasing stockholder value through the growth in share price. In future years the Compensation Committee may elect to provide equity in the form of restricted stock, stock options or restricted stock units.

The annual equity grants also serve as a retention device because they are vested and earned through service with us over a four-year period and the options have a seven-year life. These equity grants further the long-term perspective necessary for continued success of the business.

The Compensation Committee typically makes the annual stock option grants at the first regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee of the year. Option grants to new hires are generally made at the first regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting that follows the date of hire. We set the exercise price of the options at the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. All equity grants to our named executive officers in 2008 were made pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Award Plan.

Stock Ownership Requirements

The Compensation Committee has also implemented stock ownership requirements for members of the executive team equal to multiples of their base salary, which vary from one time to six times base salary. The CEO is required to hold shares with a value equal to six times his base salary, and the other named executive officers are required to hold shares with a value equal to two times their base salaries.

Each executive officer is expected to attain his or her stock ownership level within five years of becoming an executive officer. Stock options are not included in determining compliance with the share ownership requirement. Named executive officers are expected to retain 25% of the net after-tax shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a stock option until they achieve the minimum share ownership position. The Compensation Committee reviews each named executive officer’s compliance with the minimum stock ownership requirement once a year. Shares acquired through the company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan are counted toward the stock ownership requirement.

As of the end of 2008, each executive officer met the minimum share ownership requirement.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Program

In August 2006, the Compensation Committee implemented a performance-based long-term equity incentive program and made significant grants of restricted common stock to the named executive officers. These grants are targeted to deliver total direct compensation (annual base salary, annual bonus awards and long-term incentives) at the 75th percentile of the peer group upon the achievement of exceptional performance. These grants will be fully earned and vested only if during the three fiscal year measurement period: (i) we achieve annual growth for the EBITDA and market capitalization metrics as set forth below; and (ii) if the executive officers remain continuously employed with us through January 31, 2010. As provided in the award agreements, the EBITDA goals are adjusted by the Compensation Committee from time to time to reflect both the positive and negative impact of acquisitions, in order to neutralize the impact of those acquisitions. Awards of performance-based long-term equity incentive awards were granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Award Plan.

Performance Goals

EBITDA	Market Cap
December 31, 2007
$54.1 million	$928 million
December 31, 2008
$66.9 million	$1,136 million
December 31, 2009
$82.9 million	$1,400 million

- 14 -

The company met its performance goals for fiscal year 2007 related to both EBITDA and market capitalization but did not meet its performance goals for fiscal year 2008 for either EBITDA or market capitalization. The awards related to each 2008 performance goal remain eligible for vesting should the company meet its 2009 performance goals in that category. For example, if the company meets its 2009 EBITDA performance goal, participants in the company’s Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan will be entitled to receive their performance awards for EBITDA for both 2008 and 2009.

Employment Agreements

The company has entered into employment agreements with each of the named executive officers. These agreements were amended in 2007 to reduce the amount of severance provided in the event of termination without cause or for good reason from two years of base salary to one year of base salary generally payable over the one year period following the executive’s termination. The purpose of these amendments was to bring the company’s employment agreements more in line with peer group companies. Additionally, these agreements provide for pro-rata annual cash incentive and limited accelerated vesting of equity grants (other than performance-based restricted common stock) in the event of a termination of employment by us without cause or by a named executive officer for good reason. In return, each executive covenants not to compete or solicit the employees for one year from the date of termination. Severance is stopped if the executive violates these covenants during the one-year severance period.

The employment agreements also provide change in control benefits. In the event we were to undergo a change in control, the employment agreements provide for 36 months of accelerated vesting for time-based stock option and restricted common stock grants and full vesting of such grants in the event of termination within 12 months of the change in control. The performance-based restricted common stock grants provide for full acceleration upon a change in control. We believe that it is fair to provide for accelerated vesting because equity grants provide such a high proportion of the total compensation. Very often, members of senior management lose their jobs in connection with a change of control. By agreeing up front to protect the named executive officers from losing their equity in the event of a change in control, we believe we can reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of the executive officers to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of an actual or threatened change in control. This protection also aligns the interests of the named executive officers with that of the stockholders.

The employment agreements also provide for a tax gross-up payment to the named executive officers in the event they become subject to the 20% golden parachute excise tax. We have agreed to this payment because it is market practice and because we believe that the named executive officers should be able to receive what they have bargained for without being subject to this punitive tax.

Mr. Sundaram’s employment agreement contains an additional term that results from his joining us upon the acquisition of certain assets of Automotive Lease Guide (alg), LLC. We agreed to honor an existing arrangement that he had in regards to a promissory note owed to his former employer in order to encourage Mr. Sundaram to remain with us after the acquisition.

In 2006, Mr. Sundaram’s promotion to Senior Vice President, Dealer Solutions, required him to move across the country to corporate headquarters in Lake Success, New York. Accordingly, we entered into a relocation agreement with Mr. Sundaram that provided, among other things, reimbursement of his moving expenses, temporary housing expenses, forfeited tuition deposits and certain expenses in connection with the purchase and sale of his primary residence, as well as a car allowance.

In 2008, Mr. Sundaram was paid a gross amount of $37,814.67. This amount represents the final reimbursement for certain expenses (described above) in connection with his relocation. Specifically, the expenses included the forfeiture of automobile benefits and the differential in property taxes.

Perquisites

We believe that cash and equity compensation are the two key components in attracting and retaining management talent and therefore do not generally provide any substantial perquisites other than relocation expenses.

- 15 -

Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a deferred compensation plan that allows the named executive officers to defer bonus compensation by investing it in deferred stock units based on the fair market value of the common stock on the date the bonuses would otherwise be paid. This plan provides a tax effective means of allowing the executive officers to invest in the stock and fulfills the objective of encouraging equity ownership. None of our named executive officers elected to have any portion of their 2008 bonuses deferred.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all employees. The 401(k) plan is an essential part of the retirement package needed to attract and retain employees in the industry. The 401(k) plan permits employees to contribute up to the lesser of 20% of earnings or the annual dollar limit prescribed by the tax laws. The company provides a matching contribution, the amount of which is determined at our discretion. For 2008, the matching contribution was 50% of each employee’s contribution up to 6% of eligible pay, subject to IRS limitations. The matching contribution vests incrementally over a five-year period.

Section 162(m) Policy

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1,000,000 paid to their chief executive officers and the four other most highly compensated executive officers unless certain tests are met. The Compensation Committee’s general intent is to design and administer our executive compensation programs to preserve the deductibility of compensation payments to named executive officers. However, our goal of preserving the deductibility of compensation is secondary in importance to achievement of the Companies’ compensation objectives. We believe that the potential increased tax liability is of insufficient magnitude to warrant alteration of our current executive compensation programs, which we believe are achieving our desired compensation objectives while retaining our flexibility to exercise judgment in assessing our named executive officers’ performance.

Compensation Committee Actions Taken After Fiscal Year 2008

In January 2009, DealerTrack announced a realignment of its workforce, including plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 90 individuals. This included the departures of Robert Cox, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (effective March 2. 2009) and David Trinder, Senior Vice President, Network Solutions. Additionally Charles Giglia, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, moved to a non-executive role.

Effective April 16, 2009, DealerTrack implemented a 5.29% reduction in the base salaries of all employees, including the executive officers.

(3)

These are performance based restricted common stock awards that vest in full on January 31, 2010, provided that the executive officer remains employed on such date. The amount that will vest at such time is subject to the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009. These performance goals are equally based on both our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, or EBITDA, and market capitalization, in each case as measured on the last day of the fiscal year. The company met its performance goals for fiscal year 2007 related to both EBITDA and market capitalization but did not meet its performance goals for fiscal year 2008 for either EBITDA or market capitalization.

(4)

The market value is based on the closing price of our common stock as of December 31, 2008, which was $11.89, without taking any discounts and assuming that targets are achieved (EBITDA and market cap).

NON-QUALIFED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

We have a deferred compensation plan that allows the executive officers to defer up to 100% of annual bonus earning by investing it in deferred stock units based on the fair market value of the common stock on the date the bonuses would otherwise be paid. Only one of our named executive officers elected to defer any portion of the 2006 bonus which was payable in 2007. None of our named executive officers elected to have any portion of their 2007 or 2008 bonuses deferred.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION

The tables set forth below describe and quantify certain compensation that would become payable under existing plans and arrangements if the named executive officer’s employment had terminated on December 31, 2008, based on our closing stock price on that date. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events discussed below, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be different. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event and our stock price. None of our named executive officers are entitled to any compensation in the event of a voluntary termination without good reason or an involuntary termination for cause.
