			This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this [_] day of [__], [2021] (the “Grant Date”), by and between Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 14000 Carlson Parkway, Plymouth, MN 55441 and [_____________], an individual having an address at [__] (the “Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Award Plan (the “Plan”). To the extent that any term of this Agreement conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with any term of the Plan, as amended from time to time, the terms of the Plan shall take precedence and supersede any such conflict or inconsistent term contained herein. 
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Stockholder is, on the date hereof, an employee of the Company or an Affiliate; and 
		

		
			WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Company wishes to grant a restricted stock award to the Stockholder for [____] shares (the “Performance Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). 
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Stockholder agree as follows: 
		

		
			1. Performance Shares to be Subject to Restriction. The Stockholder agrees that the Performance Shares shall be subject to the risks of forfeiture set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, and to any additional provisions of the Plan applicable to such Performance Shares during the Restriction Period. 
		

		
			2. Vesting.  
		

		
			a. The Performance Shares shall be forfeitable until the risks of forfeiture lapse according to the following schedule and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 2(a):  
		

		
			i.  [30]% of the Performance Shares shall vest on the day that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise publishes with the OTC Markets or any applicable stock exchange, its annual report for the year ended December 31, [2021];
		

		
			ii.  [30]% of the Performance Shares shall vesting on the day that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise publishes with the OTC Markets or any applicable stock exchange, its annual report for the year ended December 31, [2022]; and
		

		
			iii.  [40]% of the Performance Shares shall vest on the day that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise publishes with the OTC Markets or any applicable stock exchange, its annual report for the year ended December 31, [2023];
		

		
			provided, in each case, that (x) the Stockholder remains in continuous employment with the Company or an Affiliate through December 31 of the year preceding the applicable vesting date, and  (y) for the applicable year, the Company achieves [_]%, [_]%, and [_]% of the profit metric, defined as net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally 
		

		 


		

			

		


			 

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		


		



 

		accepted in the United States, as adjusted for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense (Adjusted EBITDA) divided by sales (as such results are reported in the Company’s annual report for the applicable year), for the years ended December 31, [2021],  [2022], and [2023], respectively.
		

		
			b. Any Performance Shares as to which the risks of forfeiture have not lapsed shall be forfeited immediately if (i) the Stockholder ceases to be continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate for any reason or no reason, with or without cause; or (ii) the Company fails to achieve the applicable percentage of the profit metric for the applicable year. 
		

		
			c. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, in the event of a Change of Control during the Restriction Period, the vesting schedule set forth in this Section 2 may be accelerated in whole or in part at the sole discretion of the Committee. 
		

		
			3. Stockholder Rights. The Stockholder shall have all rights as a stockholder with respect to the Performance Shares subject to forfeiture, including the right to vote, except that, while any portion of the Performance Shares remains unvested, on each date (if any) that cash dividends are paid to holders of Common Stock, the Company will credit the Stockholder with a whole number of additional Performance Shares equal to the quotient of (a) the number of unvested Performance Shares held by the Stockholder as of the date of record for such cash dividend multiplied by the per share cash dividend amount, divided by (b) the 30-trading day average of the closing price per share of Common Stock preceding the cash dividend payment date (rounded down to the nearest whole share).  Any such additional Performance Shares will be subject to the same vesting conditions and transfer restrictions as the underlying Performance Shares.  Further, any stock dividends or distributions payable with respect to unvested Performance Shares shall be made as contemplated by and subject to Section 7 of this Agreement.
		

		
			4. Restrictions on Transfer. The Stockholder shall not, until the risks of forfeiture lapse, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise, any of the Performance Shares, or any interest therein, unless and until such are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture. 
		

		
			5. Effect of Prohibited Transfer. The Company will not be required (a) to transfer on its books any Performance Shares which have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (b) to treat as owner of such Performance Shares, or to pay dividends to, any transferee to whom any such Performance Shares have been so sold or transferred.
		

		
			6.  Restrictive Legend.  Any certificates or book entries representing Performance Shares subject to this Agreement shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be required under applicable federal or state securities laws: 
		

		
			“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to a risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer set forth in a certain Stock Restriction Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner of this certificate, a copy of which is available for inspection at the offices of the Secretary of the corporation.” 
		

		
			7. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, if from time to time until the risks of forfeiture lapse there is any stock split-up, stock dividend, stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Stockholder is entitled by reason of its ownership of the Performance Shares will be immediately subject to the risks of forfeiture, the restrictions on transfer and the other provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Performance Shares.
