		RE:	Employee Stock Option Award Agreement



 


Dear [Name]:


 


Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”)
has designated you to be a recipient of a non-statutory stock option to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company, par
value $.001 per share (“Stock”), subject to the employment-based vesting restrictions and other terms set forth in
this Award Agreement and in the Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).


 


The grant of this stock option is made pursuant
to the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board
of Directors (the “Board”). The terms of the Plan are incorporated into this Award Agreement and in the case of any
conflict between the Plan and this Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control. A copy of the Plan will be provided to
you upon request.


  


1.          Grant.
In consideration of your agreements contained in this Award Agreement, the Company hereby grants to you a non-statutory option
(“NSO”) to purchase from the Company ______ shares of common stock of the Company (the “Company Stock”)
at $____ per share. The exercise price of the NSO is equal to the closing price of the Company Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
on [_____________] (the “Grant Date”).


 


2.          Vesting.
The grant of the NSO is subject to the following terms and conditions:


 


(a)          The
shares covered by the NSO shall vest, and shall be exercisable, upon your continued employment with the Company (or any Related
Company) through the following Vesting Dates:


 


	Vesting Date	 	
        Number of Shares That May Be Exercised

        (Vested Portion of NSO)

	 	 	 
	 	 	 


 




     


     


    

 


(b)          If,
as part of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) or during the two (2) year period following a Change in
Control of the Company, your employment with the Company (or any Related Company) is terminated by you for Good Reason or is terminated
by the Company (or any Related Company) and such termination is not a Termination for Cause, the shares covered by the NSO shall
become 100% vested to the extent not already exercisable. “Good Reason” and “Termination for Cause” are
defined in Section 16 of this Award Agreement.


 


(c)          If
you die or become Disabled (as determined by the Committee) while you are employed by the Company (or any Related Company) and
your employment with the Company (or any Related Company) is terminated as a result of such death or Disability and you are not
otherwise 100% vested in the shares covered by the NSO, the total number of shares of Company Stock covered by the NSO that shall
be vested (including any shares in which you are already vested under this Award Agreement) shall equal the total number of shares
listed above in Section 1 multiplied by a fraction (not to exceed 1), the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed
from the Grant Date until the date of your death or Disability, and the denominator of which is the number of months between the
Grant Date and the final vesting date listed in the table in Section 2(a).


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, you must be employed by the Company (or any Related Company) on the relevant date for any shares to vest. If your
employment with the Company (or any Related Company) terminates for any reason, any rights you may have under the NSO and this
Award Agreement with regard to unvested shares shall be null and void.


 


3.          Exercise.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise stated in this Award Agreement and in the Plan, the NSO may be exercised, in whole or in part, from the Vesting Date
described above until the earliest of (i) ten years and one day following the Grant Date, or (ii) the end of the applicable period
set forth in subsection (b) below. Any portion of the NSO that is not exercised prior to its expiration shall be forfeited.


 


(b)          Except
as otherwise stated in this section, the NSO may be exercised only while you are employed by the Company (or any Related Company).
The exercisability of the NSO after you have ceased to be employed by the Company (or any Related Company) is subject to the following
terms and conditions:


 


(i)          If
your employment by the Company (or any Related Company) is terminated by you or the Company (or any Related Company) for any reason
other than your death or Disability, you may exercise any or all of the NSO that is then fully vested and exercisable within three
months after your employment by the Company (or any Related Company) terminates.


 




    	 	2	 



     


    

 


(ii)         If
you become Disabled while employed by the Company (or any Related Company), you may exercise any or all of the NSO that is then
fully vested and exercisable within one year after your employment by the Company (or any Related Company) terminates on account
of Disability. The Committee shall, in its discretion, determine whether you are Disabled.


 


(iii)        If
you die while you are employed by the Company (or any Related Company), the person to whom your rights under the NSO shall have
passed by will or by the laws of distribution may exercise any or all of the NSO that is then fully vested and exercisable within
one year after your death.


 


4.          Payment
Under NSO. You may exercise the NSO in whole or in part, but only with respect to whole shares of Company Stock. You may make
payment of the NSO price in cash, in shares of Company Stock that you already own, or in any combination thereof. If you deliver
shares of Company Stock to make any such payment, the shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan)
thereof on the date you exercise the NSO.


 


5.          Transferability
of NSO. The NSO is not transferable by you (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) and, except as otherwise
stated in this Award Agreement, may be exercised during your lifetime only by you.


 


6.          Fractional
Shares. A fractional share of Company Stock will not be issued and any fractional shares may be disregarded by the Company.


 


7.          Adjustments.
If the number of outstanding shares of Company Stock is increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or
combination of shares, recapitalization, merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or other change in the Company's
capitalization without the receipt of consideration by the Company, the number and kind of shares with respect to which you have
an unexercised NSO and the exercise price shall be proportionately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be binding.


 


8.          Exercise.
To exercise the NSO, you must deliver to the Corporate Secretary of the Company written notice stating the number of shares you
have elected to purchase and arrange for payment to the Company as described in Section 4 above. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 9, such notice may be sent to the Corporate Secretary via e-mail.


 


9.          Notice.
Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Award Agreement shall be addressed to the Corporate Secretary at
Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc., 3000 John Deere Road, Toano, Virginia 23168. Any notice to be given to you shall be addressed
to you at the address set forth above or your last known address at the time notice is sent. Notices shall be deemed to have been
duly given if mailed first class, postage prepaid, addressed as above.

10.         Forfeiture
and Repayment Provision. If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that you have, at any time, willfully engaged
in conduct that is harmful to the Company (or any Related Company), the Committee may declare that all or a portion of the NSO
is immediately forfeited. If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that you have willfully engaged in conduct that
is harmful to the Company (or any Related Company), you shall repay to the Company all or any shares of Company Stock acquired
through the exercise of the NSO or all or any of the amount realized as a result of the sale of Company Stock acquired through
the exercise of the NSO, to the extent required by the Committee. Repayment or forfeiture required under this Section shall be
enforced by the Board or its delegate, in the manner the Board or its delegate determines to be appropriate. Your acceptance of
the NSO reflected in this Award Agreement constitutes acceptance of the forfeiture and repayment provisions of this Section.


 


11.         Applicable
Withholding Taxes. By your acceptance of this Award Agreement, you agree to pay to the Company the amount that must be withheld
under federal, state and local income and employment tax laws or to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment
of such taxes.


 


12.         Applicable
Securities Laws. You may be required to execute a customary written indication of your investment intent and such other agreements
the Company deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable securities laws. The Company may delay delivery of the shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise of the NSO until you have executed such indication or agreements.


 


13.         Acceptance
of NSO. This Award Agreement deals only with the NSO you have been granted and not its exercise. Your acceptance of the NSO,
which shall be deemed to take place when you sign this Award Agreement, places no obligation or commitment on you to exercise the
NSO. By signing this Award Agreement, you indicate your acceptance of the NSO and your agreement to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Award Agreement, which, together with the terms of the Plan, shall become the Company’s Stock Option Agreement
with you. You also hereby acknowledge that a copy of the Plan has been made available and agree to all of the terms and conditions
of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time. Unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing, the NSO reflected in this
Award Agreement will not be exercisable as a Stock Option Agreement if you do not accept this Award Agreement within thirty days
of the Grant Date.

14.         Clawback.
If, as a result of material non-compliance with any financial information required to be reported under securities laws, the Company
is required to prepare a restatement of its financial statements, then you will, with the approval of the Committee, forfeit or
repay the proceeds of all or a portion of the NSO under this Agreement if it was awarded within the three fiscal year-period preceding
the date of such restatement. The forfeited or repayment amount shall equal the difference between the NSO reflected in this Agreement
and the amount, if any, that would have been granted based on the restated financial statements. The Committee shall determine
and approve the amount of such forfeited or repayment amount. Repayment required under this Section shall be enforced by the Board
or its delegate, in the manner the Board or its delegate determines to be appropriate. Further, this NSO is subject to such deductions
and clawback as may be required by any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy
adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement). Your acceptance
of the NSO reflected in this Award Agreement constitutes acceptance of the repayment provisions described in this Section.


 


This Section 14 is intended to comply with Section
954 of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and all regulations and rulemaking thereunder and should
be interpreted accordingly.


 


15.         Binding
Effect. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of your legatees, distributees, and personal representatives
and the successors of the Company (or any Related Company. Any references herein to the Company (or any Related Company) shall
