		Re:	Offer Letter (Revised)



 


Dear Nancy:


 


This letter confirms our offer of employment
to you with Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (individually and collectively, as applicable, “Lumber

are as follows:


 


		·	Title: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)



 


		·	Location: Toano/Richmond, Virginia



 


		·	Reports to: Dennis Knowles, President and CEO



 


		·	Start Date: September 9, 2019 (or as determined based upon mutual agreement between you and Dennis Knowles).



 


		·	Annual Base Salary: $500,000. Lumber Liquidators currently processes payroll on a weekly
basis.  This is subject to change.  We strongly encourage employees to receive their pay via direct deposit.



 


		·	Sign-on Bonus: To assist you in your transition, you will receive a one-time sign-on bonus
in the amount of $50,000 (gross before taxes and applicable withholdings). This amount is payable to you within thirty (30)
days of your start date. In the event you voluntary resign your employment from Lumber Liquidators for any reason prior to completing
your first year of employment, full re-payment of this sign-on bonus will be due to Lumber Liquidators within 30-days of your termination
date.



 


		·	Incentive Plan: You will be eligible to participate in the Annual Bonus Plan for Executive
Management (the “Bonus Plan”). Your 100% target payout under the Bonus Plan will be equal to 60% of your annual
base salary, with the opportunity to earn a maximum of 200% of your target payout based on Lumber Liquidators’ performance
against certain financial objectives. For 2019, any earned bonus payout will be pro-rated for your date of hire in 2019. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the awarding (or decision not to award) a payment under the Bonus Plan and the amount thereof, is a decision left
to the sole discretion of Lumber Liquidators. Further, the Bonus Plan is subject to amendment, modification and/or termination

		·	Equity: Lumber Liquidators has recommended to the Compensation Committee of its Board of
Directors that you receive an award of equity with a total cumulative value of $750,000.  The Company has recommended
that 50% of such award be options and 50% be restricted stock.  The valuation of the options will be made using the Black-Scholes-Merton
method as of the date of award and the valuation of the restricted stock will be made using the fair market value of the shares
on the grant date.   If approved by the Compensation Committee, any award will be granted under, subject to and governed
by the Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Compensation Plan, and shall be evidenced by a grant

and other applicable terms and conditions.  The vesting schedule of the grant will be as follows: beginning on the first anniversary
of the grant date, 25% of the grant will vest on anniversary of the grant date for a period of four (4) years. While it is expected
that the Compensation Committee will next award equity three (3) business days after the Company publicly announces its financial
results for Q3-2019, the timing and amount of any such award to you is subject to your actual start date of employment and
to the absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.
