(b)Severance Payments and Benefits. Subject to Sections 3(c), 5 and 6 of the Agreement:
(i)Non-CIC Severance Payments and Benefits.  If the Company terminates your employment without Cause (other than as a result of your death or Disability), in each case, outside of the Change in Control Protection Period, then, in addition to the Accrued Benefits, the Company will provide you the following severance and related post-termination benefits (the “Non-CIC Severance Payments and Benefits”):
(1)The Company shall, during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the six (6)-month anniversary of the Date of Termination, pay to you an amount equal to the sum of six (6) months of your Base Pay as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination  and  fifty percent (50%) of your target Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs (collectively, the “Non-CIC Severance Payment”);
(2)The Company shall pay you an amount equal to the aggregate sum of the Company's share of medical, dental and vision insurance premiums for you and your dependents for the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the sixth month anniversary thereof (as if you had remained employed and based on coverage as of immediately prior to termination). For the avoidance of doubt, if immediately prior to the termination of your employment you were required to contribute towards the cost of premiums as a condition of receiving such insurance, the payment hereunder will not cover any such contributions. The cash payment provided for in this Section 3(b)(i)(2) or Section 3(b)(ii)(2), as applicable, is referred to herein as the “Continued Benefit Payment”); 
(3)Unless otherwise explicitly set forth in the award agreement for the applicable Equity Award, each outstanding unvested Equity Award held by you immediately prior to the Date of Termination that is subject to vesting based solely upon your continuous service with the Company that would have vested during the six (6)-month period following the Date of Termination had you remained employed shall remain outstanding and shall automatically vest and become exercisable (as applicable) on the Severance Commencement Date; provided that the Release Agreement has become effective and irrevocable as of such date (the “Non-CIC Equity Benefit”); provided, further, that if the Release Agreement has not become effective and irrevocable as of such date, such Equity Awards  shall automatically be forfeited for no consideration on such date, and
(4)Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(c) and 6, the Non-CIC Severance Payment and Continued Benefit Payment shall be paid in equal installments during the six (6)-month period following the Date of Termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices beginning on the first payroll date following the 60th day following the Date of Termination (such payroll date, the “Severance Commencement Date”), and with the first installment including any amounts that would have been paid had the Release Agreement been effective and irrevocable on the Date of Termination. 
(ii)CIC Severance Payments and Benefits.  If the Company terminates your employment without Cause (other than as a result of your death or Disability), in each 
3

|

case, during the Change in Control Protection Period, then, in addition to the Accrued Benefits (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in lieu of the Non-CIC Severance Payments and Benefits), the Company will provide you the following severance and related post-termination benefits (the “CIC Severance Payments and Benefits”):
(1)The Company shall pay you an amount equal to the sum of twelve (12) months of your Base Pay as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination and your target Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, (collectively, the “CIC Severance Payment”);
(2)The Company shall pay you an amount equal to the aggregate sum of the Company's share of medical, dental and vision insurance premiums for you and your dependents for the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the first anniversary thereof (as if you had remained employed and based on coverage as of immediately prior to termination).  For the avoidance of doubt, if immediately prior to the termination of your employment you were required to contribute towards the cost of premiums as a condition of receiving such insurance, the payment hereunder will not cover any such contributions; and
(3)Unless otherwise explicitly set forth in the award agreement for the applicable Equity Award, any unvested Equity Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Date of Termination shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable (as applicable) on the Severance Commencement Date; provided that the Release Agreement has become effective and irrevocable as of such date (the “CIC Equity Benefit”); provided, further, that if the Release Agreement has not become effective and irrevocable as of such date, such Equity Awards  shall automatically be forfeited for no consideration on such date.

(4)Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(c) and 6, the CIC Severance Payment and the Continued Benefit Payments shall be paid in equal installments during the twelve (12)-month period following the Date of Termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices beginning on Severance Commencement Date, and with the first installment including any amounts that would have been paid had the Release Agreement been effective and irrevocable on the Date of Termination shall be made in a lump sum on the Severance Commencement Date.
(c)Release.  Any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) or Section 3(b)(ii), as applicable (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”), shall be in lieu of notice or any other severance benefits to which you might otherwise be entitled from any Lemonade Entity.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company's provision of the Severance Benefits will be contingent upon your timely execution and non-revocation of a general  waiver and release of claims agreement in a form to be provided by the Company (a “Release Agreement”), subject to the terms set forth herein. You will have twenty-one (21) days (or, in the event that your termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended), forty-five (45) days) following your receipt of the Release Agreement to consider whether or not to accept it. If the Release Agreement is signed and delivered by you to the Company, you will have seven (7) days from the date of delivery to revoke your acceptance of such agreement (the “Revocation Period”). If you do not timely 
4

|

execute or if you subsequently revoke the Release Agreement, you shall be required to pay to the Company, immediately upon demand therefor, the amount of any payments or benefits you received in connection with any portion of Equity Awards that was eligible to vest pursuant to Section 3(b) (including, without limitation, proceeds received or realized by you from the sale or surrender of any shares underlying such Equity Awards in connection with applicable tax withholding).
(d)The provisions of this Section 3 shall supersede in their entirety any severance payment provisions in any employment agreement, severance plan, severance policy, severance program or other severance arrangement maintained by the Company. The Company shall have no further obligation to you in the event of termination of your employment for any reason at any time, other than those obligations specifically set forth in this Section 3.
4.Mitigation.  You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in Section 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in Section 3 be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer or by retirement benefits after the Date of Termination or otherwise, subject to Section 5; provided, however, that any loans, advances or other amounts owed by you to the Company may be offset by the Company and its affiliates against amounts payable to you under Section 3 to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
5.Restrictive Covenants and Other Conditions.  You acknowledge and agree that you are a party to that certain Proprietary Information, Assignment of Inventions Non Disclosure and Non Compete Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2019, and such agreement remains in full force and effect (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”). In the event of (a) your material breach of the Restrictive Covenant Areement, (b) your engagement in any act or omission after the Date of Termination that would have constituted “Cause” under subsection (i) of the definition thereof (without regard for any cure periods therein) for termination of your employment had you remained employed after the Date of Termination, or (c) the Company’s determination in good faith that facts or circumstances existed on the Date of Termination that, if known by the Company on the Date of Termination, would have constituted Cause, the Company shall be entitled to cease all payments and benefits pursuant to Section 3(b), all Equity Awards that vested pursuant to Section 3(b) and any shares of Company stock you received with respect thereto shall immediately be forfeited, without payment therefor, and you shall be required to pay to the Company, immediately upon demand therefor, the amount of any proceeds realized by you from the sale of any such shares.
6.Section 409A Tax Implications.  Any payments or benefits required to be provided under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided only after the date of your “separation from service” with the Company as defined under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). The following rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the payments and benefits, if any, to be provided to you under this Agreement:
(a)    To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Each installment of the payments and benefits provided hereunder shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A.  If and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to you pursuant to this Agreement in connection with your termination of employment constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and (ii) you are a specified employee as defined in Section 
5

|

409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations you agree that you are bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid until the first business day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day or more after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A) (the “New Payment Date”), except such earlier date as Section 409A may then permit.  The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to you during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to you in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule.
(b)The Company and its employees, agents and representatives make no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to you or any other person if any provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under this Agreement are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but do not satisfy the conditions of that section. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Board determines that this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A, the Board may (but is not obligated to), without your consent, adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt this Agreement from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to this Agreement or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under Section 409A. 
7.Section 280G.  If any payment or benefit you would receive or retain under this Severance Agreement, when combined with any other payment or benefit you receive or retain in connection with a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations and guidance thereunder (“Section 280G”), would (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this Section 7, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be either payable in full or in such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax, results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. All determinations required to be made under this Section 7, including whether and to what extent the Payment shall be reduced and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or consulting firm experience in matters regarding Section 280G of the Code as may be designated by the Company (the “280G Advisor”). The 280G Advisor shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to you and the Company at such time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any final determination by the 280G Advisor shall be binding upon you and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 7, the 280G Advisor may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good-faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. 
8.Withholding.  The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges that the Company is 
6

|

required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion or advice of counsel if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding arise.
9.Miscellaneous.

(a)This Agreement, together with any written employment agreement or offer letter to which you may be a party and any agreements referenced herein, will constitute our entire agreement as to your employment by the Company and will supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether in writing or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than with respect to any agreements between you and the Company with respect to confidential information, intellectual property, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, nondisclosure of proprietary information, inventions and injunctive relief, including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement); provided that Section 9(f) supersedes and replaces any prior dispute resolution provisions in any other prior agreement between you and the Company (including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement).

(a)In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to a Participating Company and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company hereby grants to Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan.  The Trustee will hold the RSUs or the Shares to be issued upon vesting of the RSUs for the benefit of the Participant as set forth below.
(b)Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share at the times and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  However, unless and until the RSUs have vested, Participant will have no right to the payment of any Shares subject thereto.  Prior to the actual delivery of any Shares, the RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.  
Section II.2Vesting of RSUs.  
(a)Subject to Participant’s continued employment with or service to a Participating Company on each applicable vesting date and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the RSUs shall vest in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.  
(b)In the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service, except as may be otherwise provided herein or by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all RSUs granted under this Agreement that have not vested or do not vest on or prior to the date on which such Termination of Service occurs, and Participant’s rights in any such RSUs that are not so vested shall lapse and expire. 
(c)Notwithstanding the Grant Notice or the provisions of Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), in the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service for Cause or, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all RSUs granted under this Agreement (whether or not vested), and Participant’s rights in any such RSUs shall lapse and expire.
Section II.3
    (a)    Distribution or Payment of RSUs.  Participant’s RSUs shall be distributed in Shares (either in book-entry form or otherwise) which will be registered in the name of the Trustee, and will be deposited in the Trustee’s account (for the benefit of the Participant) as soon as administratively possible following each applicable vesting date and, in any event, no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the year in which the applicable vesting date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution or payment in settlement of RSUs if it reasonably determines that such payment or distribution will violate federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law, provided that such distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation.
    (b)    All distributions shall be made by the Company in the form of whole Shares, and any fractional share shall be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the value of such fractional share determined based on the Fair Market Value as of the date immediately preceding the date of such distribution.
2

    (c)    Additional Requirements. In order for the Company to distribute Shares upon the vesting of Participant’s RSUs, Participant hereby agrees to sign any and all documents required by any applicable law (including Section 102) and/or reasonably required by the Administrator and/or the Trustee. Participant further agrees that in the event that the Company and its counsel deem it necessary or advisable, in their sole discretion, the issuance of Shares may be conditioned upon certain representations, warranties, and acknowledgements by Participant.
Section II.4Conditions to Issuance of Certificates.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares or to cause any Shares to be held in book-entry form prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions:  (a) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable, and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.
Section II.5Tax.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a)As set forth in Section 10.2 of the Plan, the Company and or the Trustee shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. In the event that the Company and/or the Trustee determine that it is required to withhold any tax with respect to the disposition of the Participant’s Shares pursuant to the vesting of RSUs, the Participant undertakes to make all arrangements satisfactory to the Company, any Participating Company and/or the Trustee to enable it to satisfy all withholding requirements, including , but not limited, to (i) deducting the amount so required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable to Participant, including by deducting any such amount from Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, to the maximum extent permitted under law and/or (ii) requiring Participant to pay to the Company or any Participating Company the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of any Shares and/or (iii) by causing the sale of any Shares held by or on behalf of Participant to cover such liability up to the amount required to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements. . 
(b)In general, taxable income that should be attributed to the Participant as a result of the grant of the RSUs will be tax-free on the date of grant, but will be taxed on the sale of Shares issued upon the vesting of the RSUs or transfer of Shares from the Trustee to the Participant. Upon a sale of Shares, the Trustee will calculate the taxable amount for such transaction and will withhold the applicable tax from the proceeds it receives.

Only after the Trustee shall release the Shares, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and such Shares will be registered under the name of the Participant, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
