AGREEMENT


 


For the consideration
described below, the adequacy of which Employee and Evine acknowledge, Employee and Evine, intending to be bound, agree as follows:


 






     


     


    

 


1.       Continued
Employment.


 


(a)       Transition
Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Evine hereby agrees to continue Employee’s employment,
and Employee hereby accepts continued employment by Evine, for the period (the “Transition Period”) commencing
on the Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of (i) the Anticipated Separation Date, or (ii) the date on which Employee’s
employment is terminated under Section 1(b). The effective date of the termination of Employee’s employment with Evine for
any reason is referred to herein as the “Separation Date.” If the Separation Date is the Anticipated Separation
Date, then Employee will experience a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and
the regulations and guidance thereunder, effective as of the Anticipated Separation Date, and Employee’s separation from
employment with the Company will be treated as a termination of employment at the initiative of the Company for reasons other than
Cause under the Evine Live Inc. Executives’ Severance Benefit Plan dated effective as of July 25, 2016 (the “Executive
Severance Plan”).


 


(b)       Early
Termination. Employee will not terminate Employee’s employment before the Anticipated Separation Date. Evine will not
terminate Employee’s employment before the Anticipated Separation Date for any reason other than Cause (defined in Section
1(c)). Upon the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Evine will pay to Employee such compensation that has
been earned but not paid to Employee as of the Separation Date, payable in accordance with Evine’s normal payroll policies
and procedures. If, prior to the Anticipated Separation Date, Evine terminates Employee’s employment for Cause, or Employee
breaches this Agreement by terminating Employee’s employment before the Anticipated Separation Date, then Employee’s
sole entitlement shall be compensation that has been earned but not paid to Employee as of the Separation Date and Employee retaining
Employee’s rights under the Equity Awards in accordance with the terms of the Equity Awards, and Employee will not be eligible
to receive any severance pay or benefits under the Executive Severance Plan.


 


(c)       Cause
Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) the willful refusal by Employee to perform
Employee’s employment duties identified in this Agreement during the Transition Period; or (ii) the occurrence of any event
that constitutes “Cause” under the Executive Severance Plan.


 


2.       Compensation
and Benefits During the Transition Period.


 


(a)       Salary.
While Employee is employed by Evine during the Transition Period, Evine will continue to pay Employee’s base salary as of
the Effective Date (the “Transition Salary”), payable according to Evine’s regular payroll schedule. The
Transition Salary will be subject to all legally required and authorized withholdings.


 


(b)       Benefits.
While Employee is employed by Evine during the Transition Period, Employee shall remain eligible to participate in all employee
benefit plans and programs generally available from time to time to employees of Evine, to the extent that Employee meets the eligibility
requirements for each individual plan or program and subject to the provisions, rules, and regulations of, or applicable to, the
plan or program. Evine provides no assurance as to the adoption or continuation of any particular employee benefit plan or program
during the Transition Period.


 


(c)       
Equity Awards. Employee’s rights under the Equity Awards will continue to be governed by the Equity Awards during and
after the Transition Period.


 






    2 


     


    

 


(d)       Expenses.
Evine will reimburse Employee for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by Employee in the
performance of Employee’s duties and responsibilities for Evine during the Transition Period, subject to Evine’s normal
policies and procedures for expenses verification and documentation.


 


(e)       No
Additional Compensation. Except as set forth in Sections 2(a), (b) (c), and (d), Employee will not be eligible to receive any
other form of compensation or reimbursement of any kind during the Transition Period.


 


3.       Duties.
During the Transition Period, Employee’s duties will include such transition duties as Evine may reasonably assign to Employee.


 


4.       Severance
Payments and Benefits Reimbursement Payments.


 


(a)              
Separation on the Anticipated Separation Date. Subject to the conditions in Section 4(c), if Employee’s employment
with Evine terminates on the Anticipated Separation Date, then Employee shall receive the severance payments under Section 5(b)
of the Executive Severance Plan (payable in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Executive Severance Plan) and the benefits reimbursement
payments under Section 7(b) of the Executive Severance Plan (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”), subject
to the terms of the Executive Severance Plan, this Agreement and the Release (defined in Section 4(c)).


 


(b)             
Evine Terminates Employee’s Employment For Cause Prior to the Anticipated Separation Date. If Employee’s
employment with Evine terminates prior to the Anticipated Severance Date for Cause, then Employee will stop receiving any of the
compensation and benefits identified in Section 2 as of the Separation Date (other than Employee retaining Employee’s rights
under the Equity Awards in accordance with the terms of the Equity Awards), and Employee will not be eligible to receive the Severance
Benefits.


 


(c)       Conditions.
Employee’s receipt of Severance Benefits is subject to Employee’s satisfaction of the following conditions: (i)
Employee has signed this Agreement; (ii) after the Separation Date, Employee has signed the release attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit B (the “Release”) within the consideration period identified in the Release; (iii) Employee
has not rescinded the Release within the rescission period set forth in the Release; and (iv) Employee has not breached Employee’s
obligations under this Agreement, the Release, the Protective Covenants Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement during or after
the Transition Period.


 


5.       
Return Of Property. Upon termination of Employee’s services to Evine, or at any earlier time upon request from
Evine, Employee shall deliver promptly to Evine all Evine property that is in Employee’s possession or under Employee’s
control, including without limitation any computers, cellular telephones, credit cards, keys, records, files, documents, data,
computer disks and other computer storage media.


 


6.       Confidentiality.
Employee shall keep the terms of this Agreement and its Exhibits confidential and shall not disclose such terms to anyone other
than Employee’s attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, or spouse, except as authorized or required by law or as permitted
under the terms of the Release.


 






    3 


     


    

 


7.       Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and its Exhibits constitute the entire agreement between Employee and Evine with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, including the termination of Employee’s employment with Evine, and Evine and Employee agree
that there were no inducements or representations leading to the execution of this Agreement except as stated in this Agreement
and its Exhibits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall supersede or replace the Protective Covenants
Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Executive Severance Plan or the Equity Awards, each of which shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with their terms.


 


8.       Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended only by a writing that is signed by Employee and Evine.


 


9.       Waiver.
No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived except by a statement in writing signed by the party
against whom the enforcement of the waiver is sought. The waiver by Evine of the breach or nonperformance of any provision of this
Agreement by Employee will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any future breach or nonperformance under any such provision
of this Agreement.


 


10.       Governing
Law and Jurisdiction. The validity, interpretation, construction, performance, enforcement and remedies of or relating
to this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State
of Minnesota (without regard to the conflict of laws, rules or statutes of any jurisdiction), and any and every legal proceeding
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the federal or state courts of Minnesota, with venue
in Hennepin County, Minnesota. I consent to jurisdiction and venue therein, and waive any objection to lack of personal jurisdiction
or inconvenient forum.


 


11.        Severability.
In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or the Release is determined invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement or the Release will
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, except by application of the provisions of the Savings Clause in Section 12 below.


 


12.        Savings
Clause. The parties agree that the scope and terms of this Agreement and the Release are reasonable and it is the parties’
intent and desire that this Agreement and the Release be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies
applied in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision of this Agreement or the Release shall
be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties authorize the tribunal making such determination to edit the invalid
or unenforceable provision to allow this Agreement and the Release, and the provisions thereof, to be valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent allowed by law.


 


13.        Heirs,
Successors, and Assigns. This Agreement and the Release shall be binding upon Employee and upon his heirs, administrators,
representatives, or executors, and upon Evine’s successors or assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or the Release shall
be made by Employee, and any such purported assignment shall be null and void. Evine may assign its rights or obligations under
this Agreement and the Release to any successor or assign of Evine without further consent by Employee.


 






    4 


     


    

 


14.       Legal
Advice. Employee acknowledges that he has had adequate opportunity to consult an attorney before executing this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL


 


However, My Claims do
not include any claims that the law does not allow to be waived; any claims that may arise after the date on which I sign this
Release; any rights that I may have under any Equity Awards (which are subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Awards);
any claims I may have for accrued benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company in which I am a participant;
or any claims for indemnification as an officer, director or employee of the Company.


 


Release My Claims. I will
receive the Consideration from Evine if I sign and do not rescind this Release as provided below and if I comply with all continuing
obligations I have under this Release, the Executive Severance Plan, the Separation Agreement, the Protective Covenants Agreement
and the Confidentiality Agreement. I understand and acknowledge that the Consideration includes valuable consideration in addition
to anything of value that I would be entitled to receive from Evine if I did not sign this Release or if I rescinded this Release.
In exchange for the Consideration I give up and release all of My Claims. I will not make any demands or claims against the
Company for compensation or damages relating to My Claims. The Consideration that I am receiving is a fair compromise for the release
of My Claims. However, I understand and agree that, with the exception of money provided to me by a governmental agency as
an award for providing information, I am not entitled to receive any money or other relief in connection with My Claims, regardless
of who initiated or filed the charge or other proceeding.


 


Additional Agreements and Understandings.
Even though Evine will provide the Consideration for me to settle and release My Claims, the Company does not admit that it is
responsible or legally obligated to me. In fact, the Company denies that it is responsible or legally obligated to me for My Claims,
denies that it engaged in any unlawful or improper conduct toward me, and denies that it treated me unfairly.


 


Confidentiality. I understand
that the terms of this Release are confidential and that I may not disclose those terms to any person except as required or authorized
by law.


 


No Unlawful Restriction.
I understand and agree that nothing in this Release is intended to or will: (a) impose any condition, penalty, or other limitation
on my rights to challenge this Release; (b) constitute an unlawful release of my rights; or (c) prevent or interfere with my ability
or right to provide truthful testimony if under subpoena to do so, to file any charge with or participate in any investigation
or proceeding before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency,
or to respond to a subpoena, court order or as otherwise provided by law.


 


Acknowledgement of Obligations Under
the Executive Severance Plan, the Separation Agreement, the Protective Covenants Agreement, and the Confidentiality Agreement.
I acknowledge and agree that I remain bound by all terms of the Executive Severance Plan, the Separation Agreement, the Protective
Covenants Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement that survive the Separation Date, and that nothing in this Release is intended
to, and this Release does not, modify such terms.


 


Advice to Consult with an Attorney.
I understand and acknowledge that I am hereby being advised by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release.
My decision whether to sign this Release is my own voluntary decision made with full knowledge that the Company has advised me
to consult with an attorney.


 






    B-3 


     


    

 


CONFIDENTIAL


 


Period to Consider the Release.
I understand that I have 21 days after the Separation Date, not counting the Separation Date, to consider whether I wish to sign
this Release. If I sign this Release before the end of the 21-day period, it will be my voluntary decision to do so because I have
decided that I do not need any additional time to decide whether to sign this Release. I also agree that any changes made to this
Release before I sign it, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the 21-day period. I understand and agree that I may
not sign this Release prior to my Separation Date.


 


My Right to Rescind this Release.
I understand that I may rescind this Release at any time within 15 days after I sign it, not counting the day upon which I sign
it. This Release will not become effective or enforceable unless and until the 15-day rescission period has expired without my
rescinding it.


 


Procedure for Accepting or Rescinding
the Release. To accept the terms of this Release, I must deliver the Release, after I have signed and dated it, to Evine
by hand or by mail within the 21-day period that I have to consider this Release. To rescind my acceptance, I must deliver a written,
signed statement that I rescind my acceptance to Evine by hand or by mail within the 15-day rescission period. All deliveries must
be made to Evine at the following address:


 


Evine Live Inc.


6740 Shady Oak Rd.


Eden Prairie, MN 55344


Attn: Andrea Fike, SVP & General
Counsel


 


If I choose to deliver my acceptance or
the rescission of my acceptance by mail, it must be (1) postmarked within the period stated above; (2) properly addressed
to Evine at the address stated above; and (3) sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.


 


Interpretation of the Release.
This Release should be interpreted as broadly as possible to achieve my intention to resolve all of My Claims against the Company.
If this Release is held by a court to be inadequate to release a particular claim encompassed within My Claims, this Release will
remain in full force and effect with respect to all the rest of My Claims.


 


Governing Law. The validity,
interpretation, construction, performance, enforcement and remedies of or relating to this Release, and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota (without regard to the conflict of
laws, rules or statutes of any jurisdiction), and any and every legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Release
shall be brought only in the federal or state courts of Minnesota, with venue in Hennepin County, Minnesota. I consent to jurisdiction
and venue therein, and waive any objection to lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.


 


My Representations. I am
legally able and entitled to receive the consideration being provided to me in settlement of My Claims. I have not been involved
in any personal bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings at any time since I began my employment with Evine. No child support
orders, garnishment orders, or other orders requiring that money owed to me by Evine be paid to any other person are now in effect.


 






    B-4 


     


    

 


CONFIDENTIAL


 


I represent and confirm that, except with
respect to any rights I have under the Equity Awards (which are subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Awards), I have
been fully paid for all wages, commissions, bonuses, equity and other compensation that I earned during my employment with Evine
or that were due to me in connection with the termination of that employment.


 


I have read this Release carefully. I understand
all of its terms. In signing this Release, I have not relied on any statements or explanations made by the Company except as specifically
set forth in this Release, the Executive Severance Plan, the Separation Agreement, the Protective Covenants Agreement and the Confidentiality
Agreement. I am voluntarily releasing My Claims against the Company. I intend this Release to be legally binding.
