 1.1 Purpose. The Lorillard,
Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) has been established by Lorillard, Inc. (the “Company”) to (i) attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the Plan, (ii) motivate Participants, by means of
appropriate incentives, to achieve long-term goals of the Company, and reward Participants for achievement of those goals, and (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other companies, and thereby
promote the financial interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 1.2 Operation and Administration. The operation and
administration of the Plan shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2 (relating to operation and administration). Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in the Plan (including the definition provisions of
Section 3 of the Plan). 
  

	2.	Operation and Administration of the Plan. 

 The Plan
shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the express terms and provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and
to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to grant Awards; to determine the persons to whom
and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; to determine the type and number of Awards to be granted (including whether an Option granted is an ISO or NQSO); to determine the number of shares of Company Stock to which an Award may relate
and the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria, if any, relating to any Award; to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, cancelled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered; to make
adjustments in the Performance Goals that may be required for any award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company (to the extent not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the
Code, if applicable), or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the
terms and provisions of Award Certificates; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 

 The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, without amendment to the Plan, (a) accelerate the
date on which any Option granted under the Plan becomes exercisable, waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting exercise after Termination or otherwise adjust any of the terms of such Option, and (b) accelerate the vesting date,
or waive any condition imposed hereunder, with respect to any Award or otherwise adjust any of the terms applicable to any Award. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock
dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of
outstanding Options or SARs or cancel outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs without stockholder approval.

 Subject to Section 162(m) of the Code and except as required by Rule 16b-3 with respect to grants of Awards to individuals who are
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or as otherwise required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 or other applicable law, the Committee may delegate all or any part of its authority under the Plan to an employee, employees or committee of
employees. 
 All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee or the Board of Directors shall be final and binding on all
persons with any interest in an Award, including the Company and the Participant (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant). No member of the Committee or the Board of Directors shall be liable for any action
taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award.

shares may be authorized but unissued Company Stock or authorized and issued Company Stock held in the Company’s treasury. The Committee may direct that any stock certificate evidencing shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend

awarded to any one Participant during any tax year of the Company, shall not exceed [•] shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein).

shall be made in accordance with Section 424 of the Code and no such adjustment shall cause any Award hereunder which is or could be subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to comply with the requirements of such section. 

4.6 Reuse of Shares. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, or surrendered or if an Award terminates or expires
without a distribution of shares to the Participant, the shares of Company Stock with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, surrender, withholding, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards
under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards, such related Awards shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of Company Stock as to which the Award is exercised
and such number of shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan.

	5.	Eligibility.

receive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be individuals the Committee shall select from time to time, who are employees (including officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether or not they are directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries),

	6.	Awards Under the Plan. 

 6.1 Award
Certificate. The Committee may grant Awards in such amounts and with such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan. Each Award granted under the Plan
(except an unconditional Stock Bonus) shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate as the Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable and unless the Committee determines otherwise, such Award Certificate must be signed,
acknowledged and returned by the Participant to the Company. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, any failure by the Participant to sign and return the Award Certificate within such period of time following the granting of the Award as the
Committee shall prescribe shall cause such Award to the Participant to be null and void. By accepting an Award or other benefits under the Plan (including participation in the Plan), each Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated
acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. 
 6.2 Stock Options.

 (a) Grant of Stock Options. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan to purchase shares of Company Stock in such amounts and subject
to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan. The exercise price of the share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the
Committee, but in no event shall (i) the exercise price be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the grant date of such Option, or (ii) the period to exercise the Option exceed ten (10) years as measured from the date of grant.

 (b) Each Option shall be clearly identified in the applicable Award Certificate as either an ISO or a NQSO and shall state the number of
shares of Company Stock to which the Option (and/or each type of Option) relates. 
  

 9 

 (c) Special Requirements for ISOs. 
 (i) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Company Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a
Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company shall exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as NQSOs. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such ISO is
granted. 
 (ii) No ISO may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns (or is deemed to own
under the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company unless (A) the exercise price of such ISO is at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Company
Stock at the time such ISO is granted and (B) such ISO is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such ISO is granted. 
 6.3 Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (a) The Committee may grant either unrelated Stock Appreciation
Rights or related (tandem) Stock Appreciation Rights as follows: 
 (i) The Committee may grant unrelated Stock Appreciation Rights in such
amount and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, provided, however, that in no event shall (i) the exercise price of the
shares of Company Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Company Stock on the grant date of such Stock Appreciation Right, or (ii) the period to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right exceed
ten (10) years as measured from the date of grant. The holder of a Stock Appreciation Right shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate, have the right to surrender to the Company for cancellation
all or a portion of such Stock Appreciation Right, but only to the extent that such Stock Appreciation Right is then exercisable, and to be paid therefore, in either shares of Company Stock or cash, as the Committee shall determine in the Award
Certificate or otherwise, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right or portion thereof surrendered, determined as of the exercise date,
over (y) the aggregate exercise price of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right or portion thereof surrendered. 
 (ii) The Committee may grant a related Stock Appreciation Right in connection with all or any part of an Option granted under the Plan, either at the time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter prior to the exercise, termination
or cancellation of such Option, and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan, provided, 

  

 10 

 
however, that in no event shall the exercise price of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right be less than the Fair Market Value
per share on the grant date of such Stock Appreciation Right. The holder of a related Stock Appreciation Right shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate, have the right by exercise thereof to
surrender to the Company for cancellation all or a portion of such related Stock Appreciation Right, but only to the extent that the related Option is then exercisable, and to be paid therefor, in either shares of Company Stock or cash, as the
Committee shall determine in the Award Certificate or otherwise, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the related Stock Appreciation Right or portion thereof
surrendered, determined as of the exercise date, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right or portion thereof surrendered. Upon any exercise of a related Stock Appreciation
Right or any portion thereof, the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the related Option shall be reduced by the number of shares of Company Stock in respect of which such Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. Upon any
exercise of an Option or portion thereof, the number of shares of Company Stock subject to any related Stock Appreciation Right shall be reduced by the number of shares of Company Stock in respect of which such Option shall have been exercised.

 (b) The grant or exercisability of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such conditions as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine. 
 6.4 Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Stock Bonus. 
 (a) The Committee may grant Restricted Stock awards, consisting of such number of shares of Company Stock, alone or in tandem with other Awards under the
Plan, subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and as shall be evidenced by the applicable Award Certificates. The vesting of a Restricted Stock award granted under the Plan may be
conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary, upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals, and/or upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole
discretion. The Committee may also grant Restricted Stock Unit awards representing the right to receive shares of Company Stock in the future. Such right may be subject to the achievement of one or more goals relating to the completion of service by
the Participant and/or the achievement of performance or other objectives. 
 (b) The Committee may, upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee determines in its sole discretion, provide that a certificate or certificates representing the shares underlying a Restricted Stock award shall be registered in the Participant’s name and bear an appropriate legend specifying that
such shares are not transferable and are subject to the provisions of the Plan and the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Award Certificate, or that such certificate or certificates shall be held in escrow by the Company
on behalf of the Participant until such shares become vested or are forfeited. Except as provided in the applicable Award Certificate, no shares underlying a Restricted Stock award may be assigned, 

  

 11 

 
transferred, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Participant until such shares have vested in accordance with the terms of such Award. 

(c) If and to the extent that the applicable Award Certificate may so provide, a Participant shall have the right to vote and receive dividends on the
shares underlying a Restricted Stock award granted under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Certificate, any stock or other property received as a dividend on or in connection with a stock split of the shares underlying a
Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares underlying such Restricted Stock award. 
 (d) Restricted
Stock Unit awards shall be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the applicable Award Certificates entered into by the Participants. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of
Restricted Stock Units, no shares of Company Stock shall be issued in respect of such Awards and, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Certificate, no Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect
to the shares of Company Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Unit award. Upon the lapse or release of all restrictions with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit award or at a later date if distribution has been deferred, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Code, one or more share certificates, registered in the name of the Participant, for an appropriate number of shares, free of any restrictions set forth in the Plan and the related Award Certificate shall be
delivered to the Participant. 
 (e) The Committee may grant Stock Bonus awards, alone or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan, subject
to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and as may be evidenced by the applicable Award Certificate. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Award Certificate under appropriate
circumstances (including the death, disability or Retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate portion of
the Award) as the Committee shall deem appropriate. 
 6.5 Performance Based Awards. 
 (a) The Committee may grant Company Stock-and/or cash-based Performance Awards, alone or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan, to acquire shares of
Company Stock or cash, intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine,
subject to the terms of the Plan. To the extent necessary to satisfy the “short-term deferral” exception to Section 409A of the Code, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the Performance Awards shall provide that 

  

 12 

 
payment shall be made within 2 1/2
months after the end of the performance period to which the Award relates. 
 (b) In the event that the Committee grants a Performance
Award (other than an Option) that is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the following rules shall apply (as such rules may be modified by the Committee to conform
with Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor provisions thereto): (a) payments (whether in cash or Company Stock) under the
Performance Award shall be made solely on account of the attainment of one or more objective Performance Goals; (b) Performance Goals shall be established in writing by the Committee not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period
of service to which the Performance Award relates (or such shorter period as may be required under Section 162(m) of the Code); and (c) the Committee may not have discretion to increase the amount payable under such Award with respect to
any “covered employee” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code after the Award is granted, provided, however, that whether or not a Performance Award is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall have the authority to make appropriate adjustments in Performance Goals under an Award to reflect the impact of extraordinary items not reflected in such Performance Goals. For purposes
of the Plan, extraordinary items shall mean (1) any profit or loss attributable to acquisitions or dispositions of stock or assets, (2) any changes in accounting standards that may be required or permitted by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or adopted by the Company after the goal is established, (3) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year related to restructuring charges for the Company, (4) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year determined
to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business, (5) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment
of a business as defined in APB Opinion No. 30, and (6) such other items as may be prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions
or successor provisions and any changes thereto. The Committee shall, prior to making payment under any award under this Section 6.5, certify in writing that all applicable Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee may establish such
other rules applicable to Performance Awards to the extent not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 6.6 Other Stock- or
Other Cash-Based Awards. 
 (a) The Committee is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Stock-Based Awards or
Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Other Stock-Based awards, consisting of stock purchase rights, Awards of Company Stock, or Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or
otherwise based on, Company Stock, may be granted either alone or in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the persons
to whom and the 

  

 13 

 
time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Company Stock to be granted pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of
the Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any such Award shall be confirmed by an Award Certificate executed by the Company and the Participant, which Award Certificate shall contain such provisions as the Committee determines to be
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent of this Plan with respect to such Award. 
 (b) To the extent necessary to satisfy the “short-term deferral” exception to Section 409A of the Code, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the Awards shall provide that payment shall be made within 2 1/2 months after the end of the performance period to which the Award relates. With respect to Other Stock- or Other Cash-Based Awards
intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, such Award shall comply with the requirements of Section 6.5 hereof. 
 6.7 Exercisability of Awards; Cancellation of Awards in Certain Cases. 
 (a) Except as hereinafter provided, each Award Certificate with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall set forth the period during which
and the conditions subject to which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, and each Award Certificate with respect to a Restricted Stock award, Restricted Stock Unit award, Stock Bonus award, Performance Award
or other applicable award shall set forth the period after which and the conditions subject to which the shares underlying such Award shall vest or be deliverable, all such periods and conditions to be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 7 hereof, no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised and no shares of
Company Stock underlying any other Award under the Plan may vest or become deliverable unless the Participant is at such time in the employ (for Participants who are employees) or service (for Participants who are Non-employee Directors or
consultants) of the Company or a Subsidiary (or a company, or a parent or subsidiary company of such company, issuing or assuming the relevant right or award in a transaction) and has remained continuously so employed or in service since the
relevant date of grant of the Award. 
 (c) An Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable by the filing of a written notice of
exercise or a notice of exercise in such other manner with the Company, on such form and in such manner as the Committee shall in its sole discretion prescribe, and by payment in accordance with Section 6.8 hereof. 
 (d) Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, at any time after the
Company’s receipt of written notice of exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right and prior to the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise date (as defined in Section 6.7(e)), and in the case of a stock award 

  

 14 

 
or Performance Award, at any time within the six (6) business days immediately preceding the otherwise applicable date on which the previously
Restricted Stock, stock award or Performance Award would otherwise have become unconditionally vested or the shares subject thereto unconditionally deliverable, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, by written notice to the
Participant, to cancel such Award or any part thereof if the Committee, in its sole judgment, determines that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of Company
Stock from, and/or the Participant’s sale of Company Stock to, the public markets illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any part of an Award, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal
to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Award or part thereof canceled (determined as of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise date, or the date that shares would have been
unconditionally vested or delivered in the case of Restricted Stock, Stock Bonus or Performance Award), over (ii) the aggregate Option exercise price or the Stock Appreciation Right exercise price or part thereof canceled (in the case of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of shares (in the case of Restricted Stock, Stock Bonus or Performance Award). Such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable after such
Award or part thereof is canceled. 
 (e) Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, the “Option exercise date”
and the “Stock Appreciation Right exercise date” shall be the date that the written notice of exercise, together with payment, are received by the Company. 
 6.8 Payment of Award Price. 
 (a) Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise or the
Committee in its sole discretion otherwise determines, any written notice of exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right must be accompanied by payment of the full exercise price. If Section 6.7(d) applies, and the six (6) business
day delay for the Option exercise date is applied, the Participant shall have no right to pay the Option exercise price or to receive Company Stock with respect to the Option prior to the lapse of such six (6) business days. 
 (b) Payment of the Option exercise price and of any other payment required by the Award Certificate to be made pursuant to any other Award shall be made
in any combination of the following: (a) by certified or official bank check payable to the Company (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Committee), (b) with the consent of the Committee in its sole discretion, by personal check
(subject to collection) which may in the Committee’s discretion be deemed conditional, (c) unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Certificate, and as permitted by the Committee, by delivery of previously-acquired shares of
Company Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value (determined as of the Option exercise date, in the case of Options, or other relevant payment date as determined by the Committee, in the case of other Awards) equal to the portion of
the exercise price being paid thereby; and/or (d) unless otherwise provided in applicable Award Certificate, and as permitted by the Committee, on a net-settlement basis with the Company withholding the amount of 

  

 15 

 
Company Stock sufficient to cover the exercise price and tax withholding obligation. Payment in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 6.8(b)
may be deemed to be satisfied, if and to the extent that the applicable Award Certificate so provides or the Committee permits, by delivery to the Company of an assignment of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of Company Stock to be
acquired pursuant to the Award to pay for all of the Company Stock to be acquired pursuant to the Award and an authorization to the broker or selling agent to pay that amount to the Company and to effect such sale at the time of exercise or other
delivery of shares of Company Stock. 
 7. Termination of An Award. 
 (a) With respect to vested awards, unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise or
the Committee in its sole discretion otherwise determines, the term of each Award shall end on the earliest of the date on which (1) such Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised in full, all restrictions on such Restricted Stock
award have lapsed in full, shares in respect of such Restricted Stock Unit award have been delivered, or such Performance Award, Annual Incentive Award, Stock Bonus Award, Other Stock-Based Award, or Other Cash-Based Award has been paid or settled,
(2) except as described in (3), (4) or (5) below, the date on which the Participant experiences a Termination, (3) with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that has vested and become exercisable, the one-year
anniversary of the date on which the Participant dies or suffers a Disability, (4) with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that has vested and become exercisable, the three-year anniversary of the date on which the Participant
experiences a Termination due to such Participant’s Retirement, (5) with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that has vested and become exercisable, the end of the ninety (90) day period following the date the Participant
experiences a Termination for any reason not listed in (3) or (4) above, or (6) with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant. 
 (b) With respect to unvested awards, unless the applicable Award
Certificate provides otherwise, or the Committee in its sole discretion otherwise determines, upon the occurrence of a Termination of a Participant for any reason, all outstanding Awards that are unvested, unexercisable, restricted or subject to any
performance condition, as of the date of such Termination, shall be immediately forfeited, provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion (but in a manner not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code), may accelerate the
vesting, extend the exercise period and remove any restriction or performance condition with respect to any outstanding Award (but with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, not beyond the ten (10) year anniversary of the date of
grant). 
  

	8.	Effect of Change in Control. 

 (a) Unless the
applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise or the Committee in its sole discretion determines otherwise, in the event of a Change of Control: 
  

 16 

 (i) any Award carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable and vested shall become
fully exercisable and vested; and 
 (ii) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable
to any other Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested, and any Performance Goals imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved at the target level. 
 (b) Upon a Change in Control, the Committee may provide for the cancellation of all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding. Upon such
cancellation, the Company shall make, in exchange for each such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, a payment either in (i) cash, (ii) shares of the successor entity, or (iii) a combination of cash or shares, at the discretion of the
Committee, and in each case as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion determine, in an amount per share subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock as of
the date of the Change in Control over the per share exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. 
  

	9.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Award Certificates evidencing
Awards under the Plan shall contain such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, including penalties for the commission of competitive acts or other actions detrimental to
the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Committee shall have the right at any time to deny or delay a Participant’s exercise of Options if the Committee reasonably believes the Participant (i) to be engaged in material
conduct adversely affecting the Company or (ii) to be contemplating such conduct, unless and until the Committee shall have received reasonable assurance that the Participant is not engaged in, and is not contemplating, such material conduct
adverse to the interests of the Company. 
 (b) Participants are and at all times shall remain subject to the trading window policies adopted
by the Company from time to time throughout the period of time during which they may exercise Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or sell shares of Company Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. 
  

	10.	No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Award. 

 (a) Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of employment or service by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject
to the terms of any 

  

 17 

 
separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or service or to increase or decrease the compensation of the
Participant. 
 (b) No person shall have any claim or right to receive an Award hereunder. The Committee’s granting of an Award to a
Participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant any other Award to such Participant or other person at any time nor preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other person. 
  

	11.	Securities Matters. 

 (a) The Company shall be under
no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of any interests in the Plan or any shares of Company Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to be issued or delivered any certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of such
certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which shares of Company Stock are traded. The Committee may require, as a condition of the issuance and
delivery of certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, deems necessary or desirable. 
 (b) The transfer of any shares of Company Stock hereunder shall be effective only at such time
as counsel to the Company shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of such shares is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which shares of Company
Stock are traded. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any transfer of shares of Company Stock hereunder in order to allow the issuance of such shares to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from
registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state securities laws. The Committee shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of a transfer. During the period of such deferral in
connection with the exercise of an Award, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto. 
  

	12.	Withholding Taxes. 

 (a) Whenever cash is to be paid
pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. 
  

 18 

 (b) Whenever shares of Company Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the
right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. With the approval of the Committee, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing
requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares of Company Stock having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the
amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. 
  

	13.	Amendment or Termination of the Plan. 

 The Board of
Directors or the Committee may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall be required if and to the extent the Board of Directors or Committee
determines that such approval is appropriate or necessary for purposes of satisfying Sections 162(m) or 422 of the Code or Rule 16b-3 or other applicable law. Awards may be granted under the Plan prior to the receipt of such stockholder approval of
the Plan but each such grant shall be subject in its entirety to such approval and no Award may be exercised, vested or otherwise satisfied prior to the receipt of such approval. No amendment or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of a
Participant, adversely affect the Participant’s rights under any outstanding Award. 
  

	14.	Transfers Upon Death; Nonassignability. 

 (a) A
Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant,
upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Awards granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or by a person who shall have acquired the right to such exercise by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer of an Award by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and with a copy of the
will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Award that are or would have been applicable to the
Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgments made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Award. 
 (b) During a
Participant’s lifetime, the Committee may, in its discretion, pursuant to the provisions set forth in this clause (b), permit the transfer, assignment or other encumbrance of an outstanding Option unless such Option is an ISO and the Committee
and the Participant intends that it shall retain such status. Subject to the approval of the Committee and to any conditions that the Committee may prescribe, a Participant may, upon providing written notice to the General Counsel of the Company,
elect to transfer any or all Options granted to such Participant pursuant to the Plan to members of his or her immediate family, including, but not limited to, children, grandchildren and spouse or to trusts for the benefit of such immediate 

  

 19 

 
family members or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners; provided, however, that no such transfer by any Participant may be made
in exchange for consideration. Any such transferee must agree, in writing, to be bound by all provisions of the Plan. 
  

	15.	Effective Date and Term of Plan. 

 The Plan shall
become effective on the Effective Date. Any Awards granted on or after the first regularly scheduled meeting of the shareholders of the Company that occurs more than twelve (12) months after the date the Company becomes a separate publicly-held
corporation, within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Separation Date”) shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company. In the absence of such
approval, Awards made after the Separation Date shall be null and void. Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the right to grant Awards under the Plan shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Effective Date if such stockholder
approval is not obtained and on the tenth anniversary of the approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders if such stockholder approval is obtained. Awards outstanding at Plan termination shall remain in effect according to their terms and
the provisions of the Plan. 
  

	16.	Applicable Law. 

 Except to the extent preempted by
any applicable federal law, the Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law. 
  

	17.	Rights With Respect to Awards Granted Pursuant to the Plan. 

 (a) No Person shall have any claim to be granted any award under the Plan. Except as provided specifically herein, a Participant or a transferee of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by any
award until the date of the issuance of a Company Stock certificate to him or her for such shares. 
 (b) Determinations by the Committee
under the Plan relating to the form, amount and terms and conditions of grants and Awards need not be uniform, and may be made selectively among persons who receive or are eligible to receive grants and awards under the Plan, whether or not such
persons are similarly situated. 
  

	18.	Unfunded Status of Awards. 

 The Plan is intended to
constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give any such Participant
any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. 
  

 20 

	19.	No Fractional Shares. 

 No fractional shares of
Company Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights
thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated. 
  

	20.	Interpretation. 

 The Plan is designed and intended
to the extent applicable, to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, and to provide for grants and other transactions which are exempt under Rule 16b-3, and all provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply. Awards under the
Plan are intended to comply with Code Section 409A and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without
limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Certificate to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any Award
may or does not comply with Code Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the affected Award (without Participant consent) or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with
retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and any Award from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards
or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

 Approved and adopted by the Board of Directors this      day of             , 2008.

  

 21Form of Lorillard, Inc. Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.19 
 FORM OF 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 AGREEMENT, effective as of                     , by
and between Lorillard, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (the “Indemnitee”).

 WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available; 
 WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is a director and/or officer of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against directors and officers of companies in today’s environment; 
 WHEREAS, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws (each as amended from time to time, the “Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws”) require the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the extent provided therein, and the Indemnitee serves as a director and/or officer of the Company, in part, in reliance on
such provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws; 
 WHEREAS, the current difficulty in obtaining adequate director and
officer liability insurance coverage at a reasonable cost, and uncertainties as to the availability of indemnification created by recent court decisions, have increased the risk that the Company will be unable to retain and attract as directors and
officers the most capable persons available; 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined that its inability to retain and attract as directors and
officers the most capable persons would be detrimental to the interests of the Company, and that Company therefore should seek to assure such persons that indemnification and insurance coverage will be available in the future; and 
 WHEREAS, in recognition of the Indemnitee’s need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance the Indemnitee’s
continued service to the Company in an effective manner, the increasing difficulty in obtaining satisfactory director and officer liability insurance coverage, and the Indemnitee’s reliance on the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, and
in part to provide the Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will be available to the Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation
of the applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws or any change in the composition of the governing bodies of the Company or acquisition transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement
for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is 

 
maintained, for the continued coverage of the Indemnitee under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the Indemnitee continuing to serve the Company directly or, at its request, another
enterprise, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Certain Definitions. In addition to
terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms have the following meanings when used in this Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	Agreement: shall mean this Indemnification Agreement, as amended from time to time hereafter. 

  

	 	(b)	Board of Directors: shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 

  

	 	(c)	Claim: means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding, or appeal thereof, or any
inquiry or investigation, whether instituted by the Company, any governmental agency or any other party, that the Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism. 

  

	 	(d)	 Indemnifiable Expenses: means (i) all expenses and liabilities, including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the
approval of the Company, and counsel fees and disbursements (including, without limitation, experts’ fees, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier
charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim relating to any Indemnifiable
Event, (ii) any liability pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has
assumed or taken subject to, and (iii) any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an
employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the United States Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a
plan or trust or other 

  

 2 

	 	 
funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise). 

  

	 	(e)	Indemnifiable Event: means any act or omission, whether occurring before, on or after the date of this Agreement, arising from the performance of the Indemnitee’s duties
or obligations to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which the Indemnitee may hereafter be made a party by reason of being or
having been an officer, director, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of, or having served in any other capacity with, another Person or any employee benefit plan at the request of the Company. 

  

	 	(f)	Person: means any individual, corporation, firm, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, estate, trust, business association, organization, governmental entity
or other entity. 

 2. Basic Indemnification Arrangement; Advancement of Expenses. 
 (a) In the event that the Indemnitee was, is or becomes subject to, a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made subject to,
a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee, or cause such Indemnitee to be indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change in Delaware law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to the Indemnitee hereunder based on Delaware law as
in effect on the date hereof or as such benefits may improve as a result of amendments after the date hereof. The rights of the Indemnitee provided in this Section 2 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections
of this Agreement. Payments of Indemnifiable Expenses shall be made as soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and all Indemnifiable Expenses. 

(b) If so requested by the Indemnitee, the Company shall advance, or cause to be advanced (within five business days of such request), any and all
Indemnifiable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee (an “Expense Advance”). The Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), either (i) pay, or cause to be paid, such Indemnifiable Expenses on behalf
of the Indemnitee, or (ii) reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, the Indemnitee for such Indemnifiable Expenses. The Indemnitee’s right to an Expense Advance is absolute and shall not be subject to any condition that the Board of
Directors shall not have determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law. However, the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be subject to the condition
that, if, when and to the extent that a final judicial determination is made (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be so indemnified under applicable law, the 

  

 3 

 
Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid (it being
understood and agreed that the foregoing agreement by the Indemnitee shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement that the Indemnitee provide the Company with an undertaking to repay any Expense Advance if it is ultimately determined that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law). The Indemnitee’s undertaking to repay such Expense Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Claim
initiated by the Indemnitee unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized or consented to the initiation of such Claim or (ii) the Claim is one to enforce the Indemnitee’s rights under
this Agreement (including an action pursued by the Indemnitee to secure a determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law). 
 (d) The indemnification obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Board of Directors shall not have determined (by majority vote of directors who are not parties to
the applicable Claim) that the indemnification of the Indemnitee is not proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law. If the Board of Directors determines that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, the Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the States of New York or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is
proper, seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Board of Directors or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to
appear in any such proceeding. If the Indemnitee commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Board of
Directors that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding, the Indemnitee shall continue to be entitled to receive Expense Advances, and the Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company
for any Expense Advance, until a final judicial determination is made (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be so indemnified under applicable law. Any determination by the
Board of Directors otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Indemnitee. 
 (e) To the extent that the Indemnitee has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, the Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Indemnifiable Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith, notwithstanding an earlier determination by the Board of Directors that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law.

  

 4 

 3. Indemnification for Additional Expenses. The Company shall indemnify, or cause the
indemnification of, the Indemnitee against any and all Indemnifiable Expenses and, if requested by the Indemnitee, shall advance such Indemnifiable Expenses to the Indemnitee subject to and in accordance with Section 2(b) and (d), which are
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by the Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or an Expense Advance by the Company under this Agreement or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws and/or
(ii) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether the Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, Expense Advance or
insurance recovery, as the case may be. 
 4. Partial Indemnity, Etc. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Indemnifiable Expenses in respect of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which the Indemnitee is entitled. 
 5. Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by the Board of Directors,
any court or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Board of Directors or court shall presume that the Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and
the burden of proof shall be on the Company or its representative to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that the Indemnitee is not so entitled. 
 6. Reliance as Safe Harbor. The Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any action or omission to act undertaken (a) in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its
financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to the Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board of Directors,
or by any other Person as to matters the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence, or (b) on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in
reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of the Company’s legal counsel or accountants. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to
the Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder. 
 7. No Other Presumptions. For purposes of this
Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the
Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of the Board of Directors to have made
a determination as to whether the Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Board of Directors that the Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such
belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by the Indemnitee 

  

 5 

 
to secure a judicial determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law shall be a defense to the Indemnitee’s claim or create
a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. 
 8.
Nonexclusivity, Etc. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights the Indemnitee may have under the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, the laws of the State of Delaware, or otherwise. To the extent
that a change in Delaware law or the interpretation thereof (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, it is the intent
of the parties hereto that the Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. 
 9. Liability
Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms,
to the maximum extent of the coverage available for the Company’s directors or officers. 
 10. Period of Limitations. No legal
action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the
date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any
shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall govern. 
 11. Amendments,
Etc. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any
other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 12. Subrogation. In the
event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do everything that may be reasonably
necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 13. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee has otherwise
actually received payment (under any insurance policy, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
  

 6 

 14. Defense of Claims. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim
relating to an Indemnifiable Event or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that if the Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by the Indemnitee, that
(i) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (ii) the named parties in any such Claim (including any impleaded parties) include the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee concludes that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company or (iii) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one
law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim relating to an
Indemnifiable Event effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event which the Indemnitee is
or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on all claims that are the subject matter of such Claim. Neither the
Company nor the Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its or his or her consent to any proposed settlement; provided that the Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of the
Indemnitee. 
 15. Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
parties hereto and their respective successors, (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors
and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by
written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or director of the Company of any other entity or enterprise at the request of the Company. 
 16. Security. To the extent requested by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors, the Company shall at any time and from time to
time provide reasonable security to the Indemnitee for the obligations of the Company hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral or by other means. Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may
not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee. 
  

 7 

 17. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the
provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable in any respect, and the validity and enforceability of any such
provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 18. Specific Performance, Etc. The parties recognize that if any provision of this Agreement is violated by the parties hereto, the Indemnitee may
be without an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such violation, the Indemnitee shall be entitled, if the Indemnitee so elects, to institute proceedings, either in law or at equity, to obtain damages, to enforce specific
performance, to enjoin such violation, or to obtain any relief or any combination of the foregoing as the Indemnitee may elect to pursue. 
 19. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written document delivered in person or sent by telecopy, nationally recognized overnight
