THIS NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Grant Date”), by and between LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the recipient (the “Grantee”) of an Award of Options granted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as set forth in this Agreement.
The Company has adopted the incentive plan identified on Schedule I hereto (as may be further amended, the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached via a link at the end of this online Agreement as Exhibit A and by this reference made a part hereof, for the benefit of eligible Nonemployee Directors of the Company.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Board has determined that it would be in the interest of the Company and its stockholders to award Options to the Grantee, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan, in order to provide the Grantee with additional remuneration for services rendered as a Nonemployee Director and to increase the Grantee's personal interest in the continued success and progress of the Company.
The Company and the Grantee therefore agree as follows:
1.Definitions.  The following terms, when used in this Agreement, have the following meanings:

“Base Price” means the amount set forth on Schedule I hereto, which is the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date.
“Board” has the meaning specified in the preamble to this Agreement.

“Close of Business” means, on any day, 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado time.   
“Common Stock” has the meaning specified in Section 2.
“Company” has the meaning specified in the preamble to this Agreement.
“Grant Date” has the meaning specified in the preamble to this Agreement.
“Grantee” has the meaning specified in the preamble to this Agreement.
“Options” has the meaning specified in Section 2.
“Option Share” has the meaning specified in Section 4(c)(i).
“Plan” has the meaning specified in the recitals of this Agreement.

“Unvested Fractional Option” has the meaning specified in Section 3(b).
“Vesting Date” has the meaning specified in Section 3(a).
“Vesting Percentage” has the meaning specified in Section 3(a).
2.Award.  Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and in consideration of the covenants and promises of the Grantee herein contained, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee as of the Grant Date nonqualified stock options to purchase from the Company at the Base Price the number of shares of the Company's Series A Liberty Interactive Common Stock (“Common Stock”) authorized by the Board and set forth in the notice of online grant delivered to the Grantee pursuant to the Company's online grant and administration program and Schedule I of this Agreement, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan (the “Options”).  The Options are exercisable as set forth in Section 3 during the period commencing on the Grant Date and expiring at the Close of Business on the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Term”) subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 7 below.  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of an Option, and the Grantee will receive, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock that the Grantee otherwise would receive upon such exercise, cash equal to the fraction representing such fractional share multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the date on which such exercise is considered to occur pursuant to Section 4. 

3.Conditions of Exercise.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, the Options will be exercisable only in accordance with the conditions stated in this Section 3.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b) of the Plan, the Options may be exercised only to the extent they have become exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), and subject to the provisions of Section 3(c).  That number of Options that is equal to the fraction or percentage specified on Schedule I hereto (the “Vesting Percentage”) of the total number of Options that are subject to this Agreement, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole number of such Options, shall become exercisable on each of the dates specified on Schedule I hereto (each such date, together with any other date on which Options vest pursuant to this Agreement, a “Vesting Date”).    

(b)If rounding pursuant to Section 3(a) prevents any portion of an Option from becoming exercisable on a particular Vesting Date (any such portion, an “Unvested Fractional Option”), one additional Option to purchase a share of Common Stock will become exercisable on the earliest succeeding Vesting Date on which the cumulative fractional amount of all Unvested Fractional Options to purchase shares of Common Stock (including any Unvested Fractional Option created on such succeeding Vesting Date) equals or exceeds one whole Option, with any excess treated as an Unvested Fractional Option thereafter subject to the application of this Section 3(b).  Any Unvested Fractional Option comprising part of a whole Option that vests pursuant to the preceding sentence will thereafter cease to be an Unvested Fractional Option.  

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any date on which Options would otherwise become exercisable is not a Business Day, such Options will become exercisable on the first Business Day following such date, (ii) all Options will become exercisable on the date of the Grantee's termination of service as a Nonemployee Director if (A) the Grantee's service as a Nonemployee Director terminates by reason of Disability or (B) the Grantee dies while serving as a Nonemployee Director.  

(d)To the extent the Options become exercisable, such Options may be exercised in whole or in part (at any time or from time to time, except as otherwise provided herein) until expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof.

(e)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Board, in its discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations from time to time after the date hereof with respect to the exercise of the Options and that the exercise by the Grantee of Options will be subject to the further condition that such exercise is made in accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Board may determine are applicable thereto.

4.Manner of Exercise.  Options will be considered exercised (as to the number of Options specified in the notice referred to in Section 4(c)(i)) on the latest of (a) the date of exercise designated in the written notice referred to in Section 4(c)(i), (b) if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (c) the earliest Business Day by which the Company has received all of the following:

(i)    Written notice, in such form as the Board may require, containing such representations and warranties as the Board may require and designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by exercise of Options (each, an “Option Share”); 

(ii)    Payment of the Base Price for each Option Share in any (or a combination) of the following forms:  (A) cash, (B) check, (C) the delivery, together with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable, the Required Withholding Amount as described in Section 5) or (D) the delivery of irrevocable instructions via the Company's online grant and administration program for the Company to withhold the number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise) required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable, the Required Withholding Amount as described in Section 5) that would otherwise be delivered by the Company to the Grantee upon exercise of the Options; and
(iii)    Any other documentation that the Board may reasonably require.
5.Mandatory Withholding for Taxes.  The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any Options that number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Company (the “Required Withholding Amount”), unless provisions to pay such Required Withholding Amount have been made to the satisfaction of the Company.  If the Grantee elects to make payment of the Base Price by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price, such instructions may also include instructions to deliver the Required Withholding Amount to the Company.  In such case, the Company will notify the broker promptly of its determination of the Required Withholding Amount. 

6.Payment or Delivery by the Company.  As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4, and subject to the withholding referred to in Section 5, the Company will (a) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee certificates issued in the Grantee's name for, or cause to be transferred to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by exercise of Options and (b) deliver any cash payment to which the Grantee is entitled in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock as provided in Section 2.  Any delivery of shares of Common Stock will be deemed effected for all purposes when certificates representing such shares have been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the stock transfer agent of the Company has deposited the certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee or at the time the stock transfer agent initiates transfer of shares to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, if applicable, and any cash payment will be deemed effected when a check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the amount of the cash payment, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee.

7.Early Termination of Options.  The Options will terminate, prior to the expiration of the Term, at the time specified below:
(a)Subject to Section 7(b), if the Grantee's service as a Nonemployee Director is terminated other than (i) by the Company for Cause or (ii) by reason of death or Disability, then the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period that began on the date of termination of the Grantee's service.  

(b)If the Grantee dies while serving as a Nonemployee Director or prior to the expiration of a period of time following termination of the Grantee's service during which the Options remain exercisable as provided in Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), as applicable, the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period that began on the date of the Grantee's death.  

(c)Subject to Section 7(b), if the Grantee's service as a Nonemployee Director terminates by reason of Disability, then the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period that began on the date of termination of the Grantee's service.

(d)If the Grantee's service as a Nonemployee Director is terminated by the Company for Cause, then the Options will terminate immediately upon such termination of the Grantee's service

In any event in which Options remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of termination of the Grantee's service as provided above, the Options may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were exercisable as provided in Section 3 on such date of termination of the Grantee's service.  Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7 or any other provision of this Section 7 that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate upon the expiration of the Term.
8.Nontransferability.  During the Grantee's lifetime, the Options are not transferable (voluntarily or involuntarily) other 

than pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order and, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, are exercisable only by the Grantee or the Grantee's court appointed legal representative.  The Grantee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom the Options will pass upon the Grantee's death and may change such designation from time to time by filing a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries with the Board on the form attached via a link to this online Agreement as Exhibit B or such other form as may be prescribed by the Board, provided that no such designation will be effective unless so filed prior to the death of the Grantee.  If no such designation is made or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee's death, the Options will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Following the Grantee's death, the Options will pass accordingly to the designated beneficiary and such beneficiary will be deemed the Grantee for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

9.No Stockholder Rights.  Prior to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by the Options, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, the acts referred to in Section 11.15 of the Plan.

10.Adjustments.  If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided into a greater number of shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the Board determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations other than those that constitute Approved Transactions, which shall be governed by Section 11.1(b) of the Plan) affects shares of Common Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the Options (including the number of Options and the Base Price) will be subject to adjustment in such manner as the Board, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 10 following the Grant Date. 

11.Restrictions Imposed by Law.  Without limiting the generality of Section 11.7 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise the Options, and the Company will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued any shares of Common Stock, if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise, payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted.  The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of Common Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

12.Notice.  Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a different procedure or address, any notice or other communication to the Company with respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the following address:

No fractional shares of LINTA Stock will be issuable upon exercise of an Option, and the Grantee will receive, in lieu of any fractional share of LINTA Stock that the Grantee otherwise would receive upon such exercise, cash equal to the fraction representing such fractional share multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of LINTA Stock as of the date on which such exercise is considered to occur pursuant to Section 4 below. 

3.Conditions of Exercise.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Options will be exercisable only in accordance with the conditions stated in this Section 3.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b) of the Plan, the Options may be exercised only to the extent they have become exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a), subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) below.

(d)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Committee, in its discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations from time to time after the date hereof with respect to the exercise of the Options and that the exercise by the Grantee of Options will be subject to the further condition that such exercise is made in accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Committee may determine are applicable thereto.

4.Manner of Exercise.  Options will be considered exercised (as to the number of Options specified in the notice referred to in Section 4(a) below) on the latest of (i) the date of exercise designated in the written notice referred to in Section 4(a) below, (ii) if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (iii) the earliest Business Day by which the Company has received all of the following:

5.Mandatory Withholding for Taxes.  The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will deduct from the shares of LINTA Stock otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any Options, that number of shares of 

LINTA Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such LINTA Stock on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Company (the “Required Withholding Amount”), unless provisions to pay such Required Withholding Amount have been made to the satisfaction of the Company.  If the Grantee elects to make payment of the Base Price by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price, such instructions may also include instructions to deliver the Required Withholding Amount to the Company.  In such case, the Company will notify the broker promptly of the Company's determination of the Required Withholding Amount.

6.Payment or Delivery by the Company.  As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4, and subject to the withholding referred to in Section 5, the Company will (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee certificates issued in the Grantee's name for, or cause to be transferred to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, the number of shares of LINTA Stock purchased by exercise of Options, and (ii) deliver any cash payment to which the Grantee is entitled in lieu of a fractional share of LINTA Stock as provided in Section 2 above.  Any delivery of shares of LINTA Stock will be deemed effected for all purposes when certificates representing such shares have been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the stock transfer agent of the Company has deposited the certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee, or at the time the stock transfer agent initiates transfer of shares to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, if applicable, and any cash payment will be deemed effected when a check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the amount of the cash payment, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee.

7.Termination of Options.  The Options will terminate, prior to the expiration of the Term, at the times specified below:

(a)Subject to any longer period of exercisability provided for in Section 7(b) of this Agreement or in Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, if the Grantee's employment with QVC is terminated other than (i) by QVC for Cause or (ii) by reason of the Grantee's death or Disability, then the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period which began on the date of termination of the Grantee's employment.

(b)Subject to any longer period of exercisability provided for in Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, if the Grantee dies while employed by QVC (or prior to the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period which began on the date of termination of the Grantee's employment), the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period which began on the date of the Grantee's death.

Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7 or any other provision of this Section 7 or the Employment Agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate no later than upon the expiration of the Term.
8.Nontransferability.  During the Grantee's lifetime, the Options are not transferable (voluntarily or involuntarily) other than pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order and, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, are exercisable only by the Grantee or the Grantee's court appointed legal representative.  The Grantee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom the Options will pass upon the Grantee's death and may change such designation from time to time by filing a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries with the Committee on the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B or such other form as may be prescribed by the Committee, provided that no such designation will be effective unless so filed prior to the death of the Grantee.  If no such designation is made or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee's death, the Options will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Following the Grantee's death, the Options, if otherwise exercisable, may be exercised by the person to whom such option or right passes according to the foregoing and such person will 

be deemed the Grantee for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

9.Forfeiture for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts.  If (i) a material restatement of any financial statement of the Company (including any consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries) is required and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the Grantee, the Grantee will repay to the Company Forfeitable Benefits received by the Grantee during the Misstatement Period in such amount as the Committee may reasonably determine, taking into account, in addition to any other factors deemed relevant by the Committee, the extent to which the market value of LINTA Stock during the Misstatement Period was affected by the error(s) giving rise to the need for such restatement.  “Forfeitable Benefits” means (i) any and all cash and/or shares of LINTA Stock received by the Grantee (A) upon the exercise during the Misstatement Period of any SARs held by the Grantee or (B) upon the payment during the Misstatement Period of any Cash Award or Performance Award held by the Grantee, the value of which is determined in whole or in part with reference to the value of LINTA Stock, and (ii) any proceeds received by the Grantee from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition during the Misstatement Period of any shares of LINTA Stock received by the Grantee upon the exercise, vesting or payment during the Misstatement Period of any Award held by the Grantee.  By way of clarification, “Forfeitable Benefits” will not include any shares of LINTA Stock received upon exercise of any Options during the Misstatement Period that are not sold, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the Misstatement Period.  “Misstatement Period” means the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement.

10.No Stockholder Rights.  Prior to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of LINTA Stock, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any stockholder of the Company to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, the acts referred to in Section 11.16 of the Plan.

11.Adjustments.  If the outstanding shares of LINTA Stock are subdivided into a greater number of shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any shares of LINTA Stock or other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations other than those which constitute Approved Transactions, which shall be governed by Section 11.1(b) of the Plan) affects shares of LINTA Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the Options will be subject to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the number of Options and the Base Price per share of such Options) in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 11 following the Effective Date. 

12.Restrictions Imposed by Law.  Without limiting the generality of Section 11.8 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise the Options, and the Company will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued any shares of LINTA Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise, payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which shares of LINTA Stock are listed or quoted.  The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of LINTA Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

13.Notice.  Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a different procedure, any notice or other communication to the Company with respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or sent by United States first class mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

(b)subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company, the Options granted under this Agreement may be canceled by the Company and a new Award made in substitution therefor, provided that the Award so substituted will satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect any Options to the extent then exercisable.

15.Grantee Employment.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of QVC or interfere in any way with the right of QVC to terminate the Grantee's employment at any time, with or without cause, subject to the provisions of the Employment Agreement.

16.Nonalienation of Benefits.  Except as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement, (i) no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same will be void, and (ii) no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Grantee or other person entitled to such benefits.

17.Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Colorado.  Each party irrevocably submits to the general jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Colorado in any action to interpret or enforce this Agreement and irrevocably waives any objection to jurisdiction that such party may have based on inconvenience of forum.

18.Construction.  References in this Agreement to “this Agreement” and the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and similar terms include all Exhibits and Schedules appended hereto.  The word “include” and all variations thereof are used in an illustrative sense and not in a limiting sense.

The Grantee and the Company hereby declare and represent that no promise or agreement not expressed herein or in the Employment Agreement has been made and that this Agreement, together with the Employment Agreement, contains the entire agreement among the Grantee, the Company and QVC with respect to the Award and replaces and makes null and void any prior agreements among the Grantee, the Company and QVC regarding the Award.
