Dear Tom:

 

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 performance and service-based
vesting restrictions and other terms set forth in this Award Agreement and in the Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity
Compensation Plan (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, on the following Vesting Dates, if the performance conditions and service
conditions described in this Section 2 have been or are met on the applicable Vesting Date:

 

	Vesting Date	 	
        Number of Shares That May Be Exercised

        (Vested Portion of NSO)

	 	 	 
	 	 	 
	 	 	 

 

    	1

    	 

    

  

(b) The shares
covered by the NSO shall also 100% vest upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) to the extent not already
exercisable; provided that no such vesting will occur with respect to any portion of the NSO that expired prior to such Change
in Control due to failure to satisfy the performance conditions set forth in Section 2(c).

 

(c) Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2(b), the performance conditions set forth in this Section 2(c) must be met in order for any shares to vest.
If such performance conditions are not satisfied with respect to the applicable one-half of the shares, any rights you may have
under this NSO and this Award Agreement with regard to such shares shall expire and be null and void. In order for one-half of
the shares to vest on the applicable vesting date, [          ]. In order for
the other one-half of the shares to vest on the applicable vesting date, [          ].

 

(d) In addition to
satisfaction of the performance conditions described above, you must also be employed by the Company (or any Related Company) or
serving on the Board on the relevant vesting date for any shares to vest. If both (i) your employment with the Company (or any
Related Company) terminates for any reason and (ii) your Board service terminates due to your resignation from the Board or your
refusal to stand for election to the Board or your death or becoming Disabled, any rights you may have under the NSO and this Award
Agreement with regard to unvested shares shall expire and be null and void.

 

(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if your employment with the Company (or any Related Company) terminates for any reason, and your Board service terminates
due to a reason other than your resignation from the Board or your refusal to stand for election to the Board or
your death or becoming Disabled, the shares covered by the NSO shall vest and become exercisable solely based on satisfaction of
the performance conditions set forth in Section 2(c) without regard to the termination of your employment or Board service; provided,
however, your NSO will remain subject to all other provisions of this Agreement.

 

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 applicable vesting 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) or serving
on the Board. The exercisability of the NSO after you have ceased to be employed by the Company (or any Related Company) and ceased
to serve on the Board 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, and your service
on the Board terminates for any reason other than your resignation from the Board, your refusal to stand for election
to the Board, your death, or your becoming Disabled, you may exercise any or all of the NSO that is then fully vested (or that
subsequently becomes vested under Section 2(e) based on performance conditions) within three months after the latest of the date
(x) your employment by the Company (or any Related Company) terminates, (y) your Board service terminates, and (z) the date vesting
occurs based on satisfaction of performance conditions.

 

    	2

    	 

    

  

(ii) If your employment
by the Company (or any Related Company) is terminated by you or the Company (or any Related Company) for any reason, and your service
on the Board terminates due to your resignation from the Board or your refusal to stand for election to the Board, you may exercise
any or all of the NSO that is then fully vested within three months after the later of the date (x) your employment by the Company
(or any Related Company) terminates and (y) your Board service terminates.

 

(iii) If you become
Disabled while employed by the Company (or any Related Company) or while serving on the Board, you may exercise any or all of the
NSO that is then fully vested and exercisable within one year after the later of the date (x) your employment by the Company (or
any Related Company) terminates due to Disability or (y) your Board service terminates due to Disability.

 

(iv) If you die while
you are employed by the Company (or any Related Company) or while serving on the Board, 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.

 

    	3

    	 

    

  

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 Common Stock acquired through
the exercise of the NSO or all or any of the amount realized as a result of the sale of Common 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 award 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 Award 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 Award 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. Your acceptance of the Award
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.

SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

 

This Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”),
dated July 21, 2015, by and between Lumber Liquidators Services, LLC (“LL”) and William K. Schlegel (“Employee”),
states as follows:

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS,
Employee has been employed by the Company; 

 

WHEREAS,
Employee’s employment with the Company has concluded; and

 

WHEREAS,
Employee and Company desire to settle any and all matters arising out of Employee’s employment with the Company, and the
cessation of Employee’s employment with the Company, in a mutually satisfactory and confidential manner;

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants contained in the herein contained and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT:

 

1.          Termination
of Employment. Employee acknowledges that his employment by LL and/or its affiliated entity(ies) (collectively, the “Company”)
ended on June 19, 2015 (the “Separation Date”).

 

2.          Separation
Pay. In consideration of Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement, and expressly subject to Employee's ongoing compliance
with the Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 4, 6, 8-10 and 13 herein, the Company shall:

 

i.            pay
to Employee fifty-two (52) weeks of pay (the “Separation Pay”) at Employee’s regular base rate of pay of $7,447.77
per week. The Separation Pay shall be paid in fifty-two (52) equal weekly installments pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll
procedures. The first of the Separation Pay installments shall be made on the first regular pay period following the Effective
Date of this Agreement;

 

ii.           if
Employee is enrolled the Company’s health, dental and vision insurance plans as of the Separation Date and elects to continue
health, dental and vision insurance through COBRA continuation coverage, pay on behalf of Employee, for a period of up to fifty-two
(52) weeks, the employer portion of the premium provided, however, that Employee shall be responsible for and pay Employee’s
share of such premiums;

 

iii.         pay
to Employee a lump sum payment on or before the first regular pay period following the Effective Date of this Agreement in an amount
equal to the sum to which Employee is entitled for unused paid time off, if any, that Employee accrued in 2015 pursuant to the
Company’s policies prior to the Separation Date; and

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

iv.         Employee
agrees that, in the event that (a) Employee is convicted of, or pleads “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any crime of moral turpitude, in each case connected with, or in any
way related to, his employment with the Company, (b) LL’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that Employee has engaged
in willful dishonesty, fraud or gross negligence with respect to the business or affairs of the Company or Employee is otherwise
found ineligible for indemnification pursuant to Article IX of LL’s Bylaws , (c) the Company issues a restatement because
of Employee’s material noncompliance, due to misconduct, with financial reporting requirements under federal securities laws,
or (d) Employee breaches this Agreement, expressly including but not limited to Sections 4, 6, 8-10 and 13 herein; then,
in each such instance, in addition to compensation for any damages incurred by the Company, and/or any injunctive relief provided
for herein or otherwise, Employee shall be liable for the repayment of all amounts paid to Employee pursuant to this Section 2,
and he agrees to repay all such amounts in full. Employee shall have no duty to mitigate damages with respect to the termination
of his employment under this Agreement by seeking other employment and no amounts received from such other employment shall offset
the amounts due hereunder.

 

v.           Employee
agrees that the Company will deduct from the payments under this Section 2 all withholding taxes and other payroll deductions that
the Company is required by law to make from wage payments to employees.

 

3.          
Consideration/Complete Payment. Employee hereby agrees and acknowledges that the benefits set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement
are more than Company is required to do under its normal policies and procedures and that they are in addition to anything of value
to which Employee already is entitled. Employee further agrees that the payments and performances described in this Agreement are
all that Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Company except for vested qualified retirement benefits, if any, to which
Employee may be entitled under the Company's ERISA plans. The equity granted to Employee by the Company, if any, pursuant to the
Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. Equity Compensation Plan (or its predecessor plan) shall vest, if at all, and otherwise continue
to be governed according to the terms of that plan and the applicable grant agreements, if any, until the Separation Date; provided,
however, that Employee acknowledges that the Separation Date was his final date of employment, and that any non-qualified stock
options or shares of common stock, if any, whether provided for under the Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. Equity Compensation
Plan or otherwise, which did not vest as of the Separation Date are forever forfeited. Except as expressly provided herein or required
by law, the Company shall not be required to make any payments of any kind to Employee upon termination or expiration the Agreement.
Employee further agrees and acknowledges that he shall have no right or claim to any bonus payment from the Company including,
but not limited to, any bonus under the Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. Annual Bonus Plan for Executive Management. Notwithstanding
the termination, expiration or nonrenewal of this Agreement, the parties shall be required to carry out any provisions of this
Agreement which contemplate performance by them after such termination, expiration or nonrenewal, expressly including Sections
4, 6, 8-10 and 13.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

4.          Return
of Company Property. Employee will promptly deliver to the Company all Company property, including but not limited to, all
computers, phones, correspondence, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, flow charts, programs, proposals, third party equipment
that Company is authorized to represent, and any documents concerning the Company’s customers, operations, products or processes
(actual or prospective) or concerning any other aspect of the Company’s business (actual or prospective) and, without limiting
the foregoing, will promptly deliver to the Company any and all other documents or materials containing or constituting Confidential
Information as defined in Section 8, except that

Employee may retain personal papers relating to his employment,
compensation and benefits.

 

5.          Complete
Release. Employee hereby knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges the Company, any related companies, and
the former and current employees, officers, agents, directors, shareholders, investors, attorneys, affiliates, successors and assigns
of any of them (the “Released Parties”) from all liabilities, claims, demands, rights of action or causes of action
Employee had, has or may have against any of the Released Parties, including but not limited to, any claims or demands based upon
or relating to Employee’s employment with the Company or the termination of that employment. This includes, but is not limited
to, a release of any rights or claims Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or any other
federal, state or local laws or regulations prohibiting employment discrimination or retaliation. This also includes, but is not
limited to, a release by Employee of any claims for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, or any other statutory, common law,
tort, contract, or negligence claim that Employee had, has or may have against any of the Released Parties. This release covers
both claims that Employee knows about and those claims Employee may not know about. Employee further acknowledges that Employee
has received compensation for all hours worked in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.

 

This release does not include, however, (i) a release of Employee’s
right, if any, to payment of vested qualified retirement benefits under the Company’s ERISA plans; (ii) Employee’s
right, if any, to benefits under the Company’s health, dental and vision insurance plans that arose or vested on or before
the Separation Date; (iii) the right, if any, to continuation in the Company’s medical plans as provided by COBRA;
(iv) Employee’s eligibility, if any, for indemnification and/or advancement of expenses in accordance with any applicable
Company Bylaws; (v) Employee’s rights, if any, to coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
policy or policies of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; (vi) Employee’s rights, if any, under the Equity Documents
consistent with Section 3 herein; (vii) Employee’s rights, if any, as a stockholder of the Company consistent with Section
3 herein or (viii) Employee’s rights under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5, nor any other provision of this Agreement,
waives or affects Employee’s right to file a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”)
or to provide information to, or participate as a witness in, an investigation undertaken or a proceeding initiated by the EEOC.
However, Employee waives Employee’s right to monetary or other recovery, including attorney’s fees, should Employee
or any federal, state or local administrative agency pursue any claims on Employee’s behalf arising out of Employee’s
employment or the conclusion of his employment with the Company.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the exercise of any rights by either party that such party may not waive as a
matter of law.

 

6.          No
Future Lawsuits. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Employee promises never to file a lawsuit asserting any claims that
are released in Section 5. In the event Employee breaches this Section 6, Employee shall pay to the Company all of its expenses
incurred as a result of such breach, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement does not waive or release any rights or claims that Employee may have under the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act which may arise after the date that Employee signs this Agreement. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and this Section 6 shall not be construed to prohibit the exercise of any rights
by Employee that Employee may not waive or forego as a matter of law.

 

7.          Disclaimer
of Liability. This Agreement and the payments and performances hereunder are made solely to assist Employee in making the transition
from employment with Company, and are not and shall not be construed to be an admission of liability, an admission of the truth
of any fact, or a declaration against interest on the part of Company.

 

8.          Confidentiality.
Employee shall not disclose or use at any time for a period of five (5) years after the Separation Date, or as otherwise protected
by applicable law including the Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act, whichever is longer, any Confidential Information (as defined
below) of which Employee is aware, whether or not such information was developed by him, except to the extent that such disclosure
or use is directly related to and required by this Agreement or is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or similar compulsion;
provided, however, that such disclosure shall be limited to the extent so required or compelled; and provided, further, that Employee
shall give the Company notice of such disclosure and cooperate with the Company in seeking suitable protection. Employee shall
take reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage,
loss and theft. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information, which Employee had access to, received or generated
in the course of providing, directly or indirectly, services to the Company, is the sole property of the Company. Employee shall
deliver to the Company all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data
(and copies thereof regardless of the form thereof, including electronic and tangible copies) containing Confidential Information
(as defined below) of the Company which Employee possesses or has under his control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Employee may retain personal papers relating to his employment, compensation and benefits.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information”
means any data or information related to the Company’s business operations and is not generally known by the public, and
that was made known to Employee or acquired by Employee in the course of his employment with the Company or directly or indirectly
providing services to the Company, including business and trade secrets and the following: (i) reports, pricing, sales manuals
and training manuals, selling, purchasing, and pricing procedures, and financing methods of the Company, together with any proprietary
techniques utilized by the Company in designing, developing, testing or marketing its products, product mix and supplier information
or in performing services for clients, customers and accounts of the Company; (ii) the business plans and financial statements,
reports and projections of the Company; (iii) research or development projects or results; (iv) identities and addresses of consultants,
customers or clients and prospective clients, or any other Confidential Information relating to or dealing with the business operations
or activities of the Company; (v) trade secrets and other intellectual property of the Company; and (vi) existing or contemplated
software, products, databases, services, technology, designs, processes and research or product developments of the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision herein, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (A) is generally known
to the public at the time of disclosure or becomes generally known through no wrongful act on the part of Employee, (B) becomes
known to Employee through disclosure by independent third-party sources having a legal right to disclose such information, or (C) is
independently developed by Employee without reference to Confidential Information.

 

Nothing in this Section 8, or in Section 13, or in any other
provision of this Agreement, prohibits Employee or the Company from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation
to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions
of federal or state law or regulation. Employee does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or
disclosures and Employee is not required to notify the Company that he has made such reports or disclosures.

for the purpose of selling to the Customer any products or services for a Competing Business; or (ii) sell or offer to sell products
or services on behalf of a Competing Business to any Customer of the Company with whom Employee had Material Contact.

 

E.           Non-Interference
With Contracts. During the Restricted Period, Employee shall not directly or indirectly through another Person, whether on
Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of another Person, induce or attempt to induce any Contractor to or Vendor of the Company
with whom Employee had Material Contact to terminate, diminish or lessen their relationship with the Company.

 

F.           Employee
understands that the foregoing restrictions will not limit his ability to earn a livelihood and that he has received
and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided hereunder
to clearly justify such restrictions (given his education, skills and ability). Employee further understands that
(i) the Company would not have consummated this Agreement but for the covenants contained in this Section 9 and (ii) the provisions
of Sections 8 and 9 are reasonable and necessary to preserve the business of the Company.

 

G.           Employee
shall inform any prospective employer that engages in any business similar to the Business of any and all restrictions contained
in this Section 9 of the Agreement during any period when such restrictions remain effective and provide such employer with a copy
of such restrictions prior to the commencement of that employment.

10.         Cooperation. Employee
agrees that for a period of seven (7) years following the Separation Date (the “Cooperation Period”), Employee shall
have a continuing duty to fully and promptly cooperate with the Company and its legal counsel by providing any and all requested
information and assistance concerning any legal or business matters that in any way relate to Employee’s actions or responsibilities
as an employee of the Company, or to the period during Employee’s employment with the Company.  Such cooperation shall
include but not be limited to truthfully and in a timely manner participating and consulting concerning facts, responding to questions,
providing pertinent information, providing affidavits and statements, preparing for and attending depositions, and preparing for
and attending trials, hearings and other proceedings.  Such cooperation shall include meeting with representatives of the
Company upon reasonable notice at reasonable times and locations. The Company shall not require Employee to attend or participate
in meetings or consultations, pursuant to this Section 10, in excess of a total of two-thousand (2000) hours over the course of
the Cooperation Period; provided, however, that this Paragraph notwithstanding, Employee may be required by subpoena or other legal
process to testify or otherwise participate in litigation or other proceedings involving the Company to the fullest extent permitted
by law, and such testimony or participation shall not count towards or against that two-thousand hour total. The Company shall
use its reasonable efforts to coordinate with Employee the time and place at which Employee's reasonable cooperation shall be provided
with the goal of minimizing the impact of such reasonable cooperation on any other material pre-scheduled business or professional
commitments that Employee may have. The coordination and communication from the Company to Employee regarding Employee’s
cooperation shall come through the Company’s General Corporate Counsel. The Company shall reimburse Employee for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Employee in compliance with this Section, including any reasonable travel expenses incurred
by Employee in providing such assistance. As part of the consideration provided to Employee under this Agreement, Employee shall
provide cooperation to the Company at no additional cost to the Company.  At no time subsequent to the Separation Date shall
Employee be deemed to be a contractor or employee of the Company.

 

11.         Enforcement.
Employee agrees that the Company has a legitimate business interest to protect justifying the covenants set forth in Sections
8, 9 and 10. Such legitimate business interests include: (i) trade secrets, (ii) valuable Confidential Information that does not
otherwise qualify as a trade secret, (iii) substantial relationships with prospective or existing Customers, (iv) Customer goodwill,
and (v) preservation of the brands with which Employee has operated. For purposes of the Company obtaining specific performance
and/or injunctive relief, Employee acknowledges that irreparable injuries shall be presumed in the event that Employee violates
his covenants herein contained. Because Employee’s services are unique and because Employee has access to Confidential Information,
the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event
of a breach or threatened breach of Sections 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement, the Company and its successors or assigns may, in addition
to other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific
performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions in Sections 8,
9 or 10 hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if any action should have to be brought by the Company against Employee to enforce
the provisions of this Agreement, Employee recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that the Company may be entitled (without limitation)
to (a) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining Employee from unauthorized disclosure or use of any trade secret
or Confidential Information, in whole or in part, or otherwise violating any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein, and
(b) actual damages. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other legal or equity
remedies available for breach or threatened breach to the provisions of this Agreement, which may otherwise be available. In the
event of an alleged breach or violation by Employee of Sections 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement, the parties agree that the court,
in its discretion, may toll the Restricted Period during the period of the breach.

Regarding Company and/or Employment.

 

A.          For
a period of seven (7) years following the Separation Date, Employee agrees not to do or say anything, directly or indirectly, that
reasonably may be expected to have the effect of criticizing or disparaging Company, any director of Company, any of Company’s
employees, officers or agents, or diminishing or impairing the goodwill and reputation of Company or the products and services
it provides. Employee further agrees not to assert that any current or former employee, agent, director or officer of Company has
acted improperly or unlawfully with respect to Employee or any other person regarding employment.

 

B.          For a period of seven (7) years following

and/or officers that reasonably may be expected to have the effect of criticizing or disparaging Employee.

 

C.          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 13, the Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the exercise of any rights
by either party that such party may not waive as a matter of law nor does this Agreement prohibit Employee, Company or Company's
officers, employees and/or directors from testifying truthfully in response to a subpoena, inquiry or order by a court or governmental
body with appropriate jurisdiction or as otherwise required by law.

 

14.         Period

21-day period as Employee wishes prior to signing.

 

15.         Employee’s
Right to Revoke Agreement. Employee may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of Employee’s signing
it. Revocation can be made by delivering a written notice of revocation to Sandra Whitehouse, Senior Vice President, Human Resources,
3000 John Deere Road, Toano, Virginia 23168. For this revocation to be effective, written notice must be received by Ms. Whitehouse
no later than the close of business on the seventh day after Employee signs this Agreement. If Employee has not revoked the Agreement,

provision were omitted.

employees, affiliates, agents, heirs, estates, successors and assigns forever.

 

22.         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

 

23.         Arbitration
of Disputes. Except as to a request for an injunction or similar equitable relief as provided in Section 11, any controversy
or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be fully and finally settled by arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its National Rules for the Arbitration of Employment Disputes
then in effect (“AAA Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator either mutually agreed upon by the Company and Employee
or chosen in accordance with the AAA Rules. The place of arbitration shall be the City of Richmond, Virginia. Except as may be
required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder
without the prior written consent of both parties.
