Exhibit 10.20

LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION
2002 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan
(As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011)

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD 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 Restricted Shares 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 shares of common stock 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:
“Board” has the meaning specified in the preamble to this Agreement. 
“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.
“Plan” has the meaning specified in the recitals of this Agreement.
“Restricted Shares” has the meaning specified in Section 2.
“Retained Distributions” has the meaning specified in Section 4.
“Section 409(A)” has the meaning specified in Section 25.
“Unvested Fractional Restricted Share” has the meaning specified in Section 5.
“Vesting Date” has the meaning specified in Section 5.
“Vesting Percentage” has the meaning specified in Section 5.
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 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 “Restricted Shares”).

3.Issuance of Restricted Shares at Beginning of the Restriction Period.  Upon issuance of the Restricted Shares, such Restricted Shares will be registered in a book entry account in the name of the Grantee. During the Restriction Period, any 

certificates representing the Restricted Shares that may be issued during the Restriction Period, and any securities constituting Retained Distributions will bear a restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions), and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and this Agreement.  Any such certificates will remain in the custody of the Company, and upon their issuance the Grantee will deposit with the Company stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, so as to permit retransfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that will be forfeited or otherwise not become vested in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.

4.Restrictions.  The Restricted Shares will constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes.  The Grantee will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain such dividends and distributions paid or distributed on such Restricted Shares as the Board may in its sole discretion designate and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares, except that (a) the Grantee will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Shares until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled or waived, (b) the Company will retain custody of any stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period as provided in Section 8.2 of the Plan, (c) other than such dividends and distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, the Company or its designee will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and vesting and other conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested, and such Retained Distributions will not bear interest or be segregated in a separate account, (d) the Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions or the Grantee's interest in any of them during the Restriction Period and (e) a breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established by the Board with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

5.Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.  Subject to earlier vesting in accordance with Section 6, the Grantee will become vested as to that number of Restricted Shares (if any) subject to this Agreement that is equal to the fraction or percentage set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Vesting Percentage”) (in each case, rounded down to the nearest whole number of such Restricted Shares) on each of the dates indicated on Schedule I hereto (each such date, together with any other date on which Restricted Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement, a “Vesting Date”).  If rounding pursuant to the preceding sentence prevents any portion of a Restricted Share from becoming vested on a particular Vesting Date (any such portion, an “Unvested Fractional Restricted Share”), one additional Restricted Share will become vested on the earliest succeeding Vesting Date on which the cumulative fractional amount of all Unvested Fractional Restricted Shares (including any Unvested Fractional Restricted Share created on such succeeding Vesting Date) equals or exceeds one whole Restricted Share, with any excess treated as an Unvested Fractional Restricted Share thereafter subject to the application of this sentence and the following sentence. Any Unvested Fractional Restricted Share comprising part of a whole Restricted Share that vests pursuant to the preceding sentence will thereafter cease to be an Unvested Fractional Restricted Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Grantee will not vest, pursuant to this Section 5, in Restricted Shares as to which the Grantee would otherwise vest as of a given date if the Grantee has not been continuously providing services as a Nonemployee Director from the date of this Agreement through such date (the vesting or forfeiture of such shares to be governed instead by the provisions of Section 6), and (b) in the event that any date on which vesting would otherwise occur is a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, such vesting will instead occur on the business day next following such date.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, Retained Distributions will be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions that are applicable to the Restricted Shares to which such Retained Distributions relate.

6. Early Termination or Vesting.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion:

(a)If the Grantee's service as a Nonemployee Director terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, then the Award, to the extent not theretofore vested, will be forfeited immediately; 

(b)If the Grantee dies while serving as a Nonemployee Director, then the Award, to the extent not theretofore vested, will immediately become fully vested; and

(c)If the Grantee's service as a Nonemployee Director terminates by reason of Disability,  then the Award, to the extent not theretofore vested, will immediately become fully vested.

7.Completion of the Restriction Period.  On the Vesting Date with respect to each award of Restricted Shares, and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (a) all or the applicable portion of such Restricted Shares will become vested and (b) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares will become vested to the 

extent that the Restricted Shares related thereto shall have become vested, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any such Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that shall not become vested will be forfeited to the Company, and the Grantee will not thereafter have any rights (including dividend and voting rights) with respect to such Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions that are so forfeited.  

8.Adjustments; Early Vesting in Certain Events.

(a)The Restricted Shares will be subject to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the number of Restricted Shares) in such manner as the Board, in its sole discretion, may deem equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan following the Grant Date.

(b)In the event of any Approved Transaction, Board Change or Control Purchase, the restrictions in Section 3 and 4 will lapse.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that the restrictions in Section 3 and 4 will not lapse on an accelerated basis in connection with an Approved Transaction if the Board or the surviving or acquiring corporation, as the case may be, makes or causes to be made effective provision for the taking of such action as in the opinion of the Board is equitable and appropriate to substitute a new Award for the Award evidenced by this Agreement or to assume this Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby and in order to make such new or assumed Award, as nearly as may be practicable equivalent to the Award evidenced by this Agreement as then in effect (but before giving effect to any acceleration of the exercisability hereof unless otherwise determined by the Board), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets into or for which the Restricted Shares may be changed, converted or exchanged in connection with the Approved Transaction.

9.Mandatory Withholding for Taxes.  The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that, upon the expiration of the Restriction Period, the Company will deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Grantee (or the Grantee's beneficiary, if applicable) that number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value on the applicable Vesting Date) that is equal to the amount, as determined by the Company, of all federal, state or other governmental withholding tax requirements imposed upon the Company with respect to the vesting of Restricted Shares, unless other provisions to pay such withholding requirements have been made to the satisfaction of the Company.  Upon the payment of any cash dividends with respect to Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period, the amount of such dividends will be reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy any withholding tax requirements applicable thereto prior to payment to the Grantee.  

10.Delivery by the Company.  As soon as practicable after the vesting of Restricted Shares pursuant to Sections 5, 6 or 8, but no later than 30 days after such vesting occurs, and subject to the withholding referred to in Section 9, the Company will (a) cause to be removed from the Restricted Shares that have vested the restriction described in Section 3 or cause to be issued and delivered to the Grantee (in certificate or electronic form) shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Shares that have vested, and (b) shall cause to be delivered to the Grantee any Retained Distributions with respect to such vested shares.  If delivery of certificates is by mail, delivery of shares of Common Stock will be deemed effected for all purposes when a stock transfer agent of the Company has deposited the certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee.

11.Nontransferability of Restricted Shares Before Vesting.  Before vesting and during the Grantee's lifetime, the Restricted Shares 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, may be issued only to the Grantee or the Grantee's court appointed legal representative.  The Grantee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries, to whom the Restricted Shares 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 Restricted Shares will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Following the Grantee's death, the Restricted Shares will pass accordingly to the designated beneficiary, and such beneficiary will be deemed the Grantee for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

12.Company's Rights.  The existence of this Agreement will not 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.

13.Limitation of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan will be construed to:

(a)give the Grantee any right to be awarded any further Restricted Shares other than in the sole discretion of the Board; or

(b)give the Grantee or any other person any interest in any fund or in any specified asset or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

14.Prerequisites to Benefits.  Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming through the Grantee will have any right or interest in the Restricted Shares awarded hereunder, unless and until there shall have been full compliance with all the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan that affect the Grantee or such other person.

15.Restrictions Imposed by Law.  Without limiting the generality of Section 11.7 of the Plan, the Grantee will not require the Company to deliver any Restricted Shares and the Company will not be obligated to deliver any Restricted Shares if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise, delivery or payment 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 delivery of any Restricted Shares to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

16.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:

Liberty Interactive Corporation 
12300 Liberty Boulevard

Unless the Company elects to notify the Grantee electronically pursuant to the online grant and administration program or via email, any notice or other communication to the Grantee with respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally, or will be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantee's address as listed in the records of the Company on the Grant Date, unless the Company has received written notification from the Grantee of a change of address.
17.Amendment.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as approved by the Board as contemplated by Section 11.6(b) of the Plan.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the consent of the Grantee,

(a)this Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time as approved by the Board (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, (ii) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of the Grantee or surrender any right or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement, subject to any required approval of the Company's stockholders and provided, in each case, that such changes or corrections will not adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with respect to the Award evidenced hereby or (iii) to make such other changes as the Company, upon advice of counsel, determines are necessary or advisable because of the adoption or promulgation of, or change in the interpretation of, any law or governmental rule or regulation, including any applicable federal or state securities laws; and

(b)subject to any required action by the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company, the Award evidenced by this Agreement may be canceled by the Board 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 the Restricted Shares to the extent then vested.

18.Status as a Director.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Board with respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue as a director of the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its stockholders to terminate the Grantee's status as a director at any time, with or without cause.

19.Nonalienation of Benefits.  Except as provided in Section 11 and prior to the vesting of any Restricted Share, (a) 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 (b) no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be subjected to or liable for the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Grantee or other person entitled to such benefits.

20.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.

21.Construction.  References in this Agreement to “this Agreement” and the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and similar terms include all Exhibits and Schedules appended hereto, including the Plan.  All references to “Sections” in this Agreement shall be to Sections of this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise.

All decisions of the Board upon questions regarding the Plan or this Agreement will be conclusive.  Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

EXECUTION COPY

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this 3rd day of May, 2011 by and between Michael George (“Executive”) and QVC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QVC”). 
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Duties and Responsibilities.  Executive will be employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of QVC.  Executive will perform the duties and services of those positions, as well as performing any other duties and services consistent with those positions as QVC may reasonably request.  Executive shall at all times be subject to (i) during such time as Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) is the ultimate parent entity of QVC, the supervision and control of the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Media as the Board of Directors of Liberty Media (the “LMC Board”) may designate, or (ii) during such time as Liberty Media is not the ultimate parent entity of QVC, the supervision and control of the governing body of the person that is then the ultimate parent entity of QVC or such executive officer of the new ultimate parent entity as such entity may designate, or (iii) if QVC is itself a publicly-traded company, the supervision and control of the board of directors of QVC.  Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive's business time, attention and energy to the performance of Executive's duties and to the promotion of the business and interests of QVC and its affiliated companies. Executive shall also adhere to QVC's general employee policies.  Nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (a) serving on the boards of directors of public corporations with the approval of the LMC Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), (b) serving on the boards of a reasonable number of trade associations and/or charitable organizations, (c) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (d) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities do not conflict or materially interfere with the effective discharge of his duties and responsibilities under this Section l. 

2.Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence retroactively on January 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) and end on December 15, 2015, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated in accordance with Section 8 (“Term”).

3.Compensation.

A.Base Compensation.  For all services Executive renders to QVC and its affiliated companies, QVC will pay Executive a salary at the rate of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per annum (“Base Compensation”) for the period from the Effective Date to December 31, 2011, which Base Compensation shall be paid in accordance with QVC's customary payroll practices.   Thereafter, during the Term, the Base Compensation will increase by 3% of the prior year's Base Compensation.

B.Bonus Compensation.  Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (the “Bonus”).  Executive's target bonus each year during the Term will equal 100% of Executive's base salary for the year, subject to satisfaction of the criteria established for such bonus as described below.  The Bonus will be determined by the CEO of Liberty Media pursuant to criteria established in QVC's annual bonus program as such program is approved each year by the CEO of Liberty Media (or of any successor parent entity) in such person's sole discretion.  If, however, Executive is expected to be a “covered employee” in any given year for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Bonus will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the LMC Board in its sole discretion, and will be based on such criteria (i) as are approved in advance by such Compensation Committee and (ii) that are designed in a manner such that the Bonus will be treated as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive's bonus for calendar year 2010 will be determined in accordance with the terms of Executive's employment agreement that was in effect as of December 31, 2010.

C.Withholding.  All payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to this Section 3 and Section 9, will be made net of any amounts that QVC is required to deduct or withhold pursuant to any foreign, federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations.

D.2011 LINTA Option Grant.  

(i)On March 2, 2011, Executive was granted 3,800,000 options to acquire Liberty Media Series A Liberty 

Interactive common stock (the “2011 LINTA Options”) at an exercise price of $16.01 per share.  It is anticipated that Executive will not receive any additional grants of options, warrants, restricted stock or other equity or equity derivatives in QVC or Liberty Media or any of their respective affiliates (“Equity Awards”) during the Term.  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive acknowledges that the only Equity Awards held by Executive as of the date this Agreement was signed by him, other than the 2011 LINTA Options, are listed on Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

(ii)The term of the 2011 LINTA Options is seven (7) years, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the separate Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement dated effective as of March 2, 2011 between Liberty Media and Executive (the “2011 Option Agreement”).

(iii)Unless the exercisability of the 2011 LINTA Options is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.A., Section 9.C., or Section 9.G., and subject to Executive's continued employment with QVC or its affiliates in accordance with the terms of the 2011 Option Agreement, 50% of the 2011 LINTA Options will become exercisable on December 15, 2014, and 50% of the 2011 LINTA Options will become exercisable on December 15, 2015.

E.Pre-2011 Equity Awards.  Equity Awards granted to Executive prior to January 1, 2011 are also impacted by this Agreement, as described in more detail in Sections 9.A., 9.B., 9.C., 9.E. and 9.G.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

(i)“Pre-2011 Unvested Awards” means Equity Awards granted to Executive prior to January 1, 2011 that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of termination of Executive's employment with QVC.

(ii)“Pre-2011 Vested Awards” means Equity Awards granted to Executive prior to January 1, 2011 that are outstanding and vested, but unexercised, as of the date of termination of Executive's employment with QVC.

4.Welfare, Retirement and Fringe Benefits.  During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the welfare, retirement and fringe benefit programs then available to senior-level executives of QVC, including but not limited to medical, dental, hospitalization, disability and life insurance plans, retirement plans or programs, including, without limitation, defined benefit and defined contribution plans, deferred compensation plans and such other plans and programs that may be provided by QVC from time to time. 

5.Restrictions.

A.(i)    Other Work:  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1, Executive shall not perform any work for, or render services to, any person, firm or company other than QVC, unless done pursuant to his duties hereunder or approved in advance in writing by QVC.

(ii)Gifts/Samples:  Executive shall promptly report in writing to the General Counsel of QVC all gifts, services or consideration Executive receives from a third party which is connected with QVC business in any way.  The determination as to such gifts, services or considerations shall be made in accordance with QVC's Code of Conduct and the Liberty Media Code of Conduct.  In addition, all samples which Executive receives from QVC vendors or prospective vendors must be returned to the vendor or given to QVC after Executive has completed Executive's evaluation of a product, unless such sample is consumed or otherwise depleted during the course of Executive's evaluation.  All samples Executive receives from QVC vendors or prospective vendors which are not (a) given to QVC or returned to the vendor or (b) consumed or otherwise depleted in connection with Executive's evaluation of the product within ninety (90) days after Executive's receipt of the product must be promptly reported in writing to the General Counsel of QVC.  QVC may return to a vendor samples it receives from Executive or QVC may dispose of such samples as it determines in its discretion. 

(iii)Confidential Information:  Executive shall not disclose to any third party other than QVC's subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall Executive make use of, confidential and proprietary business information regarding QVC which is not generally known to the public or to the relevant trade or industry, except in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 5.A.(iii) will not apply (a) if disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to disclose or make available such information, provided, however that Executive will promptly notify QVC in writing upon receiving a request for such information and, if QVC requests,     reasonably cooperate with QVC at QVC's expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information or (b) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with any other litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including but not limited to enforcement of this Agreement.

(iv)Confidential Letter:  Executive shall not disclose, without the prior written approval of QVC, the contents of this Agreement to any person except that Executive may make such disclosure: (a) on a confidential basis to his tax, financial or legal advisors, his immediate family members and any prospective employer or business partner, provided that, in each case, such third party agrees to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and provided, further, that any such disclosure to a prospective employer or business partner shall be limited to Sections 2, 5 and 8 of this Agreement; (b) when disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to disclose or make accessible any information; and (c) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with any other litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement.

(3)induce or attempt to induce, except in the course of carrying out his duties under this Agreement, any person to terminate a relationship with QVC or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

(vi)Codes of Conduct:  Executive agrees to abide by the QVC Code of Conduct and the Liberty Media Code of Conduct.

B.Executive's obligations under this Section 5 are of a special and unique character which gives them a peculiar value.  QVC cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law in the event Executive breaches such obligations.  Executive agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies which QVC may possess, QVC shall be entitled to injunctive relief and other equitable relief to prevent a breach of this Section 5, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining any threatened or actual violation.  Executive waives the making of a bond as a condition for obtaining such relief.  Such rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable rights and remedies QVC may have. 

6.Reimbursement of Business Related Expenses.  QVC shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses that Executive actually incurs in the performance of Executive's duties, including, but not limited to, expenses for travel and other miscellaneous business expenses; provided, however, that Executive shall submit to QVC written itemized expense reports and such additional substantiation QVC may reasonably request.  QVC will also reimburse Executive for one-half of the reasonable legal fees incurred by him in connection with the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  

7.Proceeds of Executive's Services/Use of Executive's Image. 

A.Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all proceeds of all services provided to QVC and any and all works created or produced by Executive for QVC (collectively referred to herein as the “Works”) are being prepared by and for, and at the instigation and under the direction of, QVC and that the Works are and at all times shall be regarded as “work made for hire” as that term is used in the United States copyright laws, and that all copyrights in and to the Works belong to QVC as “work made for hire”.  Without limiting the preceding sentence, and by this Agreement, Executive assigns, grants and delivers, exclusively unto QVC, its legal representatives, successors and assigns, all right, title and interest of every kind and nature whatsoever in and to the Works, and all copies, versions, derivatives, processes, systems, products and proceeds thereof, or resulting therefrom, including any copyrights in any country. 

B.Executive also grants QVC the use of Executive's performances and pictures for advertising, public displays, promotion and all other legal presentations including, without limitation, the above-mentioned uses.  After the term of this Agreement, QVC will not make use of Executive's performances and pictures in a manner in which Executive is the subject of the advertising, public displays, promotion and other presentations except with respect to any of the foregoing that were created during the Term.  Executive releases QVC, its successors and assigns, from all liability to the extent resulting from the use of Executive's own performance or picture. 

8.Termination. 

A.Executive's employment may be terminated by QVC with or without prior notice and with or without Cause (as defined in Section 9.B.) at any time prior to the end of the Term.  Executive's employment shall immediately terminate upon Executive's death or Disability (as defined in Section 9.A.).  During the Term, Executive may voluntarily terminate Executive's employment with QVC by giving (i) 30 days' advance written notice to QVC of Executive's intent to so terminate for Good Reason, and (ii) six months' advance written notice to QVC of Executive's intent to so terminate other than for Good Reason or Disability.  In order for such a termination to qualify as a “Good Reason” termination such termination must be based on one of more of the circumstances described in the next sentence.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall be an action by QVC, other than in connection with the termination of Executive's employment by QVC for Cause (i) that results in a material diminution or material adverse change in Executive's title, authority, duties or responsibilities including but not limited to assignment to Executive of duties materially inconsistent with Executive's duties as described in Section 1 or that materially impair his ability to carry out those duties; (ii) requiring Executive to be based at any office or location other than offices of QVC in West Chester, Pennsylvania; provided, however, that a general relocation of the offices of QVC to a location not more than 25 miles from West Chester, Pennsylvania shall not constitute a Good Reason; (iii) that results in a reduction in Executive's (a) then current Base Compensation or (b) eligibility to receive a Bonus with a target of 100% of Base Compensation (it being acknowledged that QVC and the LMC Board have no obligation to actually award any Bonus); (v) that would substantially diminish the aggregate value of the benefits provided to Executive, including, but not limited to, benefits under QVC's medical, health, accident, disability, life insurance, thrift and retirement and deferred compensation plans other than any action that applies to all senior officers of QVC with respect to the benefit plans; (vi) that results in a change in the reporting structure applicable to Executive other than as permitted by Section 1; (vii) that results in a breach by QVC of any material provision of this Agreement; or (viii) that results in the failure of QVC to obtain, within a reasonable period of time after Executive's written request, the assumption in writing of its obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of QVC.  Good Reason will not be deemed to exist unless Executive gives QVC notice within 120 days following the occurrence of the event which Executive believes constitutes the basis for Good Reason, specifying the particular act or failure to act which Executive believes constitutes the basis for Good Reason and provides QVC with a reasonable opportunity of at least 30 days to cure such act or failure to act.

B.Executive's employment by QVC may be voluntarily terminated by Executive, other than for Good Reason or Disability, on not less than six (6) months' prior written notice to QVC. 

C.Subject to Section 10.B., this Agreement will terminate upon the termination of Executive's employment with QVC.

9.Rights Upon Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. 

A.Termination for Death or Disability.  

(i)Upon termination of Executive's employment for Executive's death or Disability (as defined in clause (iii) below) prior to the expiration of the Term, QVC shall pay Executive, or Executive's designated beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, (a) Executive's then current Base Compensation in accordance with QVC's customary payroll practices for a period of one year after such payments commence under this Agreement (the “Base Compensation Continuing Payments”); (b) Executive's Base Compensation through the date of termination; (c) the amount of any reimbursable expenses incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 6 prior to the date of termination but not yet reimbursed; (d) any declared but unpaid Bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which the termination occurs; (e) vested benefits, if any, owed to Executive in accordance with other applicable plans, programs and arrangements of QVC and its affiliates; and (f) any other amounts that QVC is required pursuant to applicable law to pay Executive.

(iii)For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Executive's inability to perform his duties because of physical or mental incapacity for a period of 180 consecutive days and, within 30 days after a notice of termination is given to Executive, Executive has not returned to work.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not be considered to have suffered a Disability unless he is also “disabled” as such term is defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(iv)Except as specified in this Section 9.A., QVC will have no further liability or obligation to Executive following a termination of Executive's employment prior to expiration of the Term as a result of death or Disability.

(ii)Upon a termination of Executive's employment for Cause prior to the expiration of the Term (a) Executive will forfeit all rights to any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and to any 2011 LINTA Options then held by Executive that have not become exercisable as of the date of termination of Executive's employment; and (b) any Pre-2011 Vested Awards that are options or similar rights and any 2011 LINTA Options that are outstanding and vested, but unexercised, as of the date of termination of Executive's employment will be exercisable for a period of up to 90 days after the date of termination (but in no event will be exercisable after the stated term of such option or similar right).

(iii)“Cause” shall be (a) if Executive commits a material breach of this Agreement, (b) if Executive commits fraud or embezzlement or other serious misconduct against QVC or its affiliates, including, without limitation, a serious or material violation of the QVC Code of Conduct or the Liberty Media Code of Conduct, (c) the conviction of Executive of any felony under or within the meaning of United States federal law or state law, or (d) the conviction of Executive of a misdemeanor which conviction relates to Executive's suitability for employment in Executive's then current position but excluding any conviction for a minor traffic violation.  In no event will Executive be terminated for Cause without (x) a reasonable opportunity for Executive 

to be heard by the LMC Board, (y) a vote or written action in favor of a termination for Cause by at least a majority of all the members of the LMC Board, and (z) written notification to Executive of a termination for Cause.

(iv)Except as specified in this Section 9.B., QVC will have no further liability or obligation to Executive following a termination of Executive's employment for Cause prior to expiration of the Term.

C.Termination by Executive For Good Reason or by QVC Without Cause.

(1)Upon termination of Executive's employment by QVC prior to the expiration of the Term other than for death, Disability or Cause, or upon the termination of Executive's employment by Executive prior to the expiration of the Term for Good Reason (collectively, a “Protected Termination”), QVC shall pay Executive (i) the Base Compensation Continuing Payments; (ii) a lump sum payment of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Severance Payment”); and (iii) the amounts specified in Section 9.B.(i).

(2)Upon a Protected Termination prior to the expiration of the Term, any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards that are held by Executive on the date of such termination and that would have vested during the 365-day period following the date of such termination had Executive continued to be employed by QVC during such period will vest as of the date of such termination.

(3)Upon a Protected Termination prior to the expiration of the Term, a pro rata portion of each tranche of the 2011 LINTA Options that is not vested on the date of such termination will vest as of the date of such termination, such pro rata portion to be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Executive was employed by QVC and its affiliates during the vesting period for such tranche of 2011 LINTA Options plus 365, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire vesting period for such tranche of 2011 LINTA Options (in no event to exceed the total number of unvested 2011 LINTA Options as of the date of a Protected Termination).

(4)Upon a Protected Termination prior to the expiration of the Term, the exercisability of any Pre-2011 Vested Awards, any options constituting Pre-2011 Unvested Awards that vest because of a Protected Termination, and any vested 2011 LINTA Options, including any that vest because of a Protected Termination, will be extended to the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of the option (determined without reference to any provision in the applicable award agreement that reduces the exercisability of such option upon Executive's termination of employment, but otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such option), or (ii) the date that is two years from the date of the Protected Termination (but in no event will be exercisable after the stated term of such option or similar right).

(5)Except as specified in this Section 9.C., QVC will have no further liability or obligation to Executive following a termination of Executive's employment prior to expiration of the Term by Executive for Good Reason or by QVC without Cause.

(6)Payment of the benefits described above will be subject to the timing requirements set forth in Section 20.

D.Voluntary Termination.

(i)Upon a voluntary termination by Executive of his employment prior to expiration of the Term (other than a termination for Good Reason), QVC shall pay Executive (a) Executive's Base Compensation through the date of termination; (b) any declared but unpaid Bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which the termination occurs, (c) the amount of any reimbursable expenses incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 6 prior to the date of termination but not yet reimbursed; (d) vested benefits, if any, owed to Executive in accordance with other applicable plans, programs and arrangements of QVC and its affiliates; and (e) any other amounts that QVC is required pursuant to applicable law to pay Executive.

(ii)Upon a voluntary termination by Executive of his employment prior to expiration of the Term (other than a termination for Good Reason) (a) Executive will forfeit all rights to any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and to any 2011 LINTA Options then held by Executive that have not become exercisable as of the date of termination of Executive's employment; (b) any Pre-2011 Vested Awards that are options or similar rights will be treated as specified in the applicable agreement governing such Equity Award; and (c) any 2011 LINTA Options that are outstanding and vested, but unexercised, as of the date of termination of Executive's employment will be exercisable for a period of up to 90 days after the date of termination (but in no event will be exercisable after the stated term of such option or similar right).

(iii)Except as specified in this Section 9.D., QVC will have no further liability or obligation to Executive following a voluntary termination by Executive of his employment prior to expiration of the Term (other than a termination for

E.Termination At or Following Expiration of the Term.  

(i)Upon a termination of Executive's employment by Executive or QVC at or following expiration of the Term for any reason, including termination by QVC with or without Cause, voluntary termination by Executive with or without Good Reason, and termination by reason of death or Disability, QVC shall pay Executive (a) Executive's Base Compensation through the date of termination; (b) except in the case of termination by QVC for Cause, any declared but unpaid Bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which the termination occurs, (c) the amount of any reimbursable expenses incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 6 prior to the date of termination but not yet reimbursed; (d) vested benefits, if any, owed to Executive in accordance with other applicable plans, programs and arrangements of QVC and its affiliates; and (e) any other amounts that QVC is required pursuant to applicable law to pay Executive.  In addition, except in the case of termination by QVC for Cause, if Executive's employment ends on the last day of the Term, Executive will also be eligible to receive the Bonus he would have received for calendar year 2015 if he had remained employed by QVC as of the date of determination of the 2015 bonuses payable to QVC employees, determined as described in Section 3.B. in the sole discretion of the decision maker.  For clarity, in no event will the termination of Executive's employment by QVC or by Executive at the end of the Term or thereafter constitute a termination without Cause by QVC or by Executive for Good Reason, nor will any termination of Executive's employment at or following expiration of the Term as a result of Executive's death or Disability be governed by Section 9.A.

(ii)Upon a termination of Executive's employment by Executive or QVC at or following expiration of the Term (including termination by reason of death or Disability, termination by QVC with or without Cause, and voluntary termination by Executive with or without Good Reason), any Pre-2011 Vested Awards and any 2011 LINTA Options then held by Executive that are outstanding and vested, but unexercised, will be exercisable throughout the remainder of the full original term of such Equity Award (determined without reference to any provision in the applicable award agreement that reduces the exercisability of, or limits the vesting of, such Equity Award upon Executive's termination of employment, but otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such Equity Award).

(iii)Except as specified in this Section 9.E., QVC will have no further liability or obligation to Executive (or his legal representative as the case may be) following a  termination of Executive's employment by Executive or QVC at or following expiration of the Term for any reason, including termination by QVC with or without Cause, voluntary termination by Executive with or without Good Reason, and termination by reason of death or Disability.

F.Waiver of Payments.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the amounts, if any, which may be payable under this Section 9 are in lieu of and not in addition to any severance payments which may be generally available to employees of QVC and Executive hereby waives any right Executive may have in or to any severance payments not contained in this Section 9. 

G.Protected Termination Following a Change of Control.

(i)If within six months following a Change in Control of QVC (as defined in clause (iii) below) and prior to the expiration of the Term:  (a) Executive's employment is terminated by QVC without Cause, or (b) Executive gives notice pursuant to Section 8.A. that he is terminating his employment for Good Reason and Executive's employment subsequently terminates based on such notice following expiration of QVC's cure period, then Executive shall be entitled to the payments specified in Section 9.C.(1) and Executive's Equity Awards shall be impacted as described in Section 9.G.(ii).

(ii)If Section 9.G.(i) is applicable, the Pre-2011 Vested Awards, the Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and the 2011 LINTA Options (a) will immediately vest and become exercisable to the extent not already vested as of the date of such Protected Termination, and (b) will be exercisable throughout the remainder of the full original term of such Equity Award (determined without reference to any provision in the applicable award agreement that reduces the exercisability of such Equity Award upon Executive's termination of employment, but otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such Equity Award).

(iii)For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control of QVC” means (a) any merger, consolidation or share exchange not constituting a Reorganization Event (as defined below) to which QVC is a party as a result of which persons who are common stockholders of QVC immediately prior thereto have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the surviving corporation ordinarily (and apart from the rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors immediately following such merger, consolidation or share exchange, or (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer not constituting a Reorganization Event (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of QVC or QVC's subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  In no event will any Reorganization Event constitute a Change of Control of QVC.  A “Reorganization Event” includes (1) any direct or indirect spin-

off or split-off of QVC from Liberty Media Corporation (“LMC”) or its ultimate parent at such time, however effected (including, for example, by a redemption, pro rata distribution or an exchange offer), and (2) any transfer of equity of QVC to, or merger, consolidation of QVC, however effected,  with LMC or any person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, LMC.

(iv)Except as specified in this Section 9.G., QVC will have no further liability or obligation to Executive following a Protected Termination that occurs within six months following a Change of Control of QVC.

H.General Release.  If Executive's employment hereunder is terminated pursuant to Section 9.A., Section 9.C., Section 9.E or Section 9.G., the payment by QVC to Executive of any Base Compensation Continuing Payments or Severance Payment under the applicable Section, as well as any acceleration of vesting or extension of exercise period described in the applicable Section shall be subject to the execution and delivery to QVC by Executive (or by Executive's legal representative, if applicable), within the applicable time period described below, of a severance agreement and general release (the “Release”) in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to QVC and consistent with the form of severance agreement and general release then used by QVC for senior executives.  The form of Release shall be delivered to Executive on the date of termination in the case of a termination of Executive's employment by QVC, or as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of termination in the case of a termination of employment by Executive or for death or Disability.  Executive shall have a period of 21 days (or, if required by applicable law, a period of 45 days) from Executive's (or Executive's legal representative, if applicable) receipt of the form of Release (the “Consideration Period”) in which to execute and return the original, signed Release to QVC.  If Executive delivers the original, signed Release to QVC prior to the expiration of the Consideration Period and does not thereafter revoke such Release within any period of time provided for such revocation under applicable law, Executive shall, subject to Section 9.I., be entitled to any Base Compensation Continuing Payments and Severance Payments specified in Section 9.A., Section 9.C. or Section 9.G., as applicable and to any acceleration of vesting or extension of exercise periods of Equity Awards specified in such Sections or in Section 9.E., payable in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in Section 20.  In such event, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the aggregate Base Compensation Continuing Payments (or, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.E., the continued exercisability of Equity Awards provided for in Section 9.E.(ii)) shall constitute consideration for Executive's delivery of the Release pursuant to this Section 9.H. (the “Release Consideration”).

I.Continued Compliance.  Executive and QVC hereby acknowledge that any Base Compensation Continuing Payments or Severance Payments to be made by QVC pursuant to Section 9.A., Section 9.C. or Section 9.G., as applicable, other than the Release Consideration, are part of the consideration for Executive's undertakings under Section 5.A.(v).  Payment of such amounts by QVC is subject to Executive's continued compliance with the provisions of Section 5.A.(v).  If Executive violates any provision of Section 5.A.(v), then QVC will have no obligation to pay Executive any Base Compensation Continuing Payments or Severance Payments pursuant to Section 9.A., 9.C. or 9.G. to the extent any or all of the same remain payable by QVC on or after the date of such violation, except to the extent of any unpaid Release Consideration.  In addition, to the extent that a Severance Payment was previously made to Executive, Executive will return a pro rata portion of such Severance Payment to QVC based on the percentage of the time period applicable to the Section 5.A.(v) restriction that was breached that elapsed prior to Executive breaching such restriction (e.g., if the restriction that was breached was to continue for one year following Executive's termination and six months of such restrictive time period remained at the time Executive breached such restriction, Executive would return 50% of the Severance Payment to QVC).

10.Severability and Survival. 

A.Should any portion of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement, and the remaining provisions herein shall be effective as though such invalid or unenforceable     provision had not been included herein.  If such invalidity or unenforceability is caused by the length of any period of time, the geographic scope of any provision, or the breadth of activities covered by any provision, then the period of time, geographic scope or breadth of activities, or all of them, shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cure such invalidity or unenforceability.  Section 5.A.(v) shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

B.The provisions of Sections 5.A.(iii), 5.A.(iv), 5.A.(v), 5.B., 7, 9, 15, 18 and 20 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 

11.Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient, if in writing and if delivered by hand or sent by overnight courier service or by registered, overnight or certified mail, if to Executive, to Executive's last known address listed in the records of QVC, and if to QVC, to the General Counsel, with a copy to the Chief Financial Officer at QVC's principal office.  Notices shall be effective upon receipt. 

12.Assignment.  This Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto will, without the consent of the 

other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of a merger, consolidation, or transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of QVC to any other individual(s) or entity, this Agreement will, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of QVC hereunder, and promptly after a request by Executive, such transferee or successor shall be required to assume such obligations by contract (unless such assumption occurs by operation of law).  No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive, without QVC's prior written consent, other than his rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law; provided, however, that to the extent Executive is permitted to do so under any applicable plan, policy, program, agreement, or other arrangement with QVC or any of its affiliates, Executive shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by Executive to receive any compensation, entitlement or benefit payable thereunder following Executive's death by his giving QVC written notice thereof. 

13.Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor will any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.  No waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver. 

14.Headings/Section References.  The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or give full notice thereof.  Unless otherwise specified, all Section references in this Agreement are to the applicable Section of this Agreement.

15.Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed under the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania exclusive of choice of laws principles and Executive and QVC hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Chester County and the United States Federal Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in all matters arising hereunder.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such courts in respect of this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby.

16.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior written agreements and prior or contemporaneous oral agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement shall not be changed or altered, except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other QVC plan, policy, arrangement or agreement with Executive, the provisions of this Agreement will govern. 

17.No Restrictions on Employment; Contingency. 

A.Representations and Warranties.  To induce QVC to enter into this Agreement, Executive represents, warrants and covenants to QVC as follows: 

(1)Executive has the full and complete ability and authority to enter into this Agreement and render services pursuant hereto and Executive is not subject to any legal, contractual or other restriction on Executive's employment which would impair or otherwise restrict Executive's ability to perform the services to QVC hereunder; and 

(2)Executive has not disclosed to QVC any confidential information or trade secrets of any third party, nor will Executive disclose to QVC any confidential information or trade secrets of a third party where such disclosure would violate the terms of any agreement or otherwise breach any duty Executive may have to any such third party. 

B.Indemnity.  Executive shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless QVC, its successors and assigns, upon demand, from and against any loss, liability, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which QVC may sustain or incur by reason of the breach of his representations, warranties or covenants in Section 17.A. 

18.Indemnification of Executive. 

A.During the Term and thereafter, QVC agrees to indemnify and hold Executive and his heirs and representatives harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under QVC's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws or, if greater, under applicable law, 

against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) as a result of any claim or proceeding, or threatened claim or proceeding, against Executive that arises out of or relates to his service as an officer, director or employee, as the case may be, of QVC, or his service in any such capacity or similar capacity with an affiliate of QVC or other entity at the request of QVC, both prior to and after the Effective Date, and to advance to Executive or his heirs or representatives such expenses upon written request.  In the event QVC advances any expenses to Executive pursuant to this Section 18 and it is subsequently determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Executive is not entitled to indemnification by QVC, Executive shall promptly refund all amounts advanced to Executive by QVC.

B.At the time of the execution of this Agreement, QVC does not maintain a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance.  In the event QVC obtains a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance during the Term, then QVC shall provide Executive with coverage under such policy on a basis no less favorable than that applying to any other then current or former director or officer.

19.QVC's Representations.  QVC represents and warrants that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by QVC has been fully and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (ii) the officer signing this Agreement on behalf of QVC is duly authorized to do so, (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any applicable law, regulation, order, judgment or decree or any agreement, plan or corporate governance document to which QVC is a party or by which it is bound and (iv) upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, it will be a valid and binding obligation of QVC enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

20.Compliance with 409A.  

A.The provisions of this Agreement are intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and any guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service relating thereto (collectively, “Section 409A”), and will be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with such intent.  The parties intend that, to the maximum extent possible, any amounts paid as Base Compensation Continuing Payments or Severance Payments or otherwise shall qualify as a short-term deferral pursuant to Section 409A or as separation pay exempt from Section 409A.  To the extent that any payment provided under this Agreement is not exempt from Section 409A then, to the extent required by Section 409A, the following will apply:  Any payment that is triggered upon Executive's termination of employment will be conditioned upon the triggering termination constituting a Separation from Service, as defined below.  

B.With respect to any amount that becomes payable to Executive upon his Separation from Service, as defined below, for any reason, if QVC determines in good faith that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A then, to the extent required under Section 409A, payment of any amount that becomes payable to Executive upon his Separation from Service (other than by reason of his death) and that otherwise would be payable during the six-month period following such Separation from Service will be suspended until the lapse of such six-month period (or, if earlier, the date of Executive's death).  Any payment suspended under this provision, unadjusted for interest on such suspended payment, will be paid to Executive in a single payment on the first business day following the end of such six-month period or, if earlier, within 30 days following Executive's death, provided that such death during such six-month period will not cause the acceleration of any amount that otherwise would be payable on any date during such six-month period following the date of such death.

C.A “Separation from Service” means Executive's separation from service, as defined in Section 409A, with QVC and all other entities with which QVC would be considered a single employer under Internal Revenue Code Section 414(b) or (c), applying the 80% threshold used in such Internal Revenue Code Sections or any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.  

D.Any payment that is contingent upon the execution and nonrevocation of the Release required under Section 9.H, which is not suspended by the application of the provisions applicable to specified employees, as described above, will be paid or commence to be paid on the 60th day following Executive's Separation from Service, notwithstanding any earlier expiration of the Consideration Period.

E.Unless otherwise permitted under Section 409A, all expenses or other reimbursements paid pursuant to this Agreement that are taxable income to Executive (i) will be paid no later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such expense; and (ii) will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Employment Agreement the day and year first above written.
