*Transaction Incentive Agreements*

Harold S. Edwards and Mark Palamountain are each party to a Retention Bonus Agreement with Limoneira Company (the "Company"), dated October 26, 2022 (together, the "Retention Bonus Agreements"), as previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 27, 2022. Gregory C. Hamm was also subject to a retention bonus arrangement with terms similar to the Retention Bonus Agreements (the "Hamm Retention Bonus Arrangement"). On January 27, 2026, the Board of the Company (the "Board") determined to terminate the Retention Bonus Agreements and the Hamm Retention Bonus Arrangement and approved a new Transaction Incentive Agreement for each of Messrs. Edwards and Hamm (together, the "Transaction Incentive Agreements"). The Company entered into the Transaction Incentive Agreements with Messrs. Edwards and Hamm on February 1, 2026 and February 5, 2026, respectively. Mr. Edwards' Transaction Incentive Agreement is effective as of February 1, 2026, and Mr. Hamm's Transaction Incentive Agreement is contingent upon his appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and effective upon such date of appointment, such appointment as previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on January 28, 2026. If Mr. Hamm is not appointed Chief Financial Officer by February 8, 2026, his Transaction Incentive Agreement will be deemed null and void.

Pursuant to the Transaction Incentive Agreements, Messrs. Edwards and Hamm will be eligible to receive cash and restricted share awards ("Restricted Shares") totaling five percent (5%) and three percent (3%), respectively, of profits on asset sales or development earnings (the "PPP Bonuses") received from the sale of certain land or water assets of the Company or real estate development earnings after the date of the Transaction Incentive Agreements through October 31, 2031. The Transaction Incentive Agreements are intended to encourage Messrs. Edwards and Hamm to continue to transition the Company to an asset-light model by enabling them to receive cash and Restricted Shares for asset sales or real estate development earnings.

The PPP Bonuses payable to Messrs. Edwards and Hamm are capped at $2.0 million and $1.2 million annually, respectively, and $5 million and $3 million in total, respectively. The PPP Bonuses will be paid (i) fifty percent (50%) in cash, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) in Restricted Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company's 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan and subject to Messrs. Edwards and Hamm executing Restricted Share Award Agreements. The Restricted Shares will be one hundred percent (100%) vested on the one-year anniversary of the payment date. The cash will be paid in one installment at the end of the quarter in which the closing of the special project occurred. The PPP Bonuses are subject to (a) the approval, in its sole discretion, of the Compensation Committee of the Board, and (b) the continued employment of Messrs. Edwards and Hamm through the payment date of the PPP Bonus. The PPP Bonus amounts are further subject to the Company's Recoupment of Incentive Compensation Policy.

The foregoing descriptions of the Transaction Incentive Agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

This Transaction Incentive Agreement (this "**Agreement**") is effective as of February 1, 2026 (the "**Effective Date**") by and among Limoneira Company (the "**Company**") and Harold S. Edwards ("**Participant**").

**WHEREAS**, the Company is shifting its strategic focus to an "asset light" model;

**WHEREAS**, in April 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "**Board**") approved a strategic plan and roadmap (together, the "**Strategic Plan**") to sell certain land and water assets over the next five years;

**WHEREAS**, Participant is currently employed by the Company, and the Company recognizes and appreciates Participant's loyalty to the Company and the critical role Participant will play in maximizing the value to the Company in the implementation of the Strategic Plan and the sale of the land and water assets; and

**WHEREAS**, the Company and the Participant entered into that certain Retention Bonus Agreement dated October 26, 2022 (the "**Prior Agreement**") and the parties desire to terminate the Prior Agreement and enter into this Agreement to govern the terms of bonuses to be paid upon the Closing (as defined herein) of Special Projects (as defined herein) in furtherance of the Strategic Plan.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. **Profit Participation Project Bonus.** Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Participant shall be
eligible to receive bonuses based on the Closing of Special Projects (the "**PPP Bonus**") and maintaining employment through
the relevant Payment Date (as defined herein). Conditioned upon (i) the Closing(s) of Special Projects within the Bonus Eligibility Period,
(ii) the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "**Committee**") in its sole discretion, and (iii) Participant's
continuous employment with the Company through the relevant Payment Date, the Company will pay to the Participant a PPP Bonus equal to
five percent (5%) of any Profit generated from the Closing of a Special Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. <u>Caps on PPP Bonus Payment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Annual Cap</u>. During each fiscal year, the total amount of PPP Bonuses will be capped at $2,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. <u>Aggregate Cap</u>. During the Bonus Eligibility Period, the total amount of PPP Bonuses will be capped
at $5,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. If the PPP Bonuses in any given fiscal year exceed the Annual Cap as set forth above, any excess will
be deferred and carried forward for potential payment in subsequent years, subject to the remaining Aggregate Cap as set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. <u>PPP Bonus Payment</u>. Each PPP Bonus will be paid (i) fifty percent (50%) in cash, less required withholdings
and taxes, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) in Restricted Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, subject
to Participant executing a Restricted Stock Agreement. The Restricted Shares will be one hundred percent (100%) vested on the one-year
anniversary of the Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, alter the mix of cash and Restricted
Shares to be paid to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. <u>PPP Bonus Payment Timing</u>. The Company will advance to Participant a PPP Bonus at the close of the
audited quarter in which the Closing Date of the Special Project occurred (the "**Payment Date** "), provided that Participant
is employed by the Company on the Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **No Right to Continued Employment**. Neither this Agreement nor any other action related to the PPP Bonuses shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Participant's employment at any time. Participant acknowledges that Participant is an "at will" employee and Participant's employment may be terminated with or without cause at any time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all rights of Participant with respect to the PPP Bonuses shall terminate upon termination of the employment of Participant.

confidential information. Participant will not, either during or after employment, either directly or indirectly, use, divulge, disclose,
reveal, or communicate, other than as required in the performance of Participant's duties for the Company, any confidential information
for so long as such information is not publicly available other than in whole or in part through the efforts of Participant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for a disclosure
of a trade secret that (i) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly,
or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint
or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure. Further,

or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, and any federal Inspector
General, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Participant
does not need prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Company that
he has made such reports or disclosures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. <u>Remedies for Breach</u>. Participant stipulates that the covenants contained herein are essential for

Company; that a breach of any covenant contained herein would cause the Company irreparable damage for which damages at law would not
be an adequate remedy; and that, in addition to damages and other remedies to which the Company would otherwise be entitled, it will be
entitled to whatever injunctive relief is appropriate for any such breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. <u>Survival</u>. The provisions in this <u>Section 3</u> survive termination of this Agreement and Participant's
employment.
