Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On September 18, 2013, consistent with its commitment to eliminate the tax gross up provision in its severance agreements with certain named executive officers by January 1, 2014, Lorillard, Inc. (the “Company”) provided notice to David H. Taylor, Randy B. Spell, Ronald S. Milstein and Charles E. Hennighausen, each a named executive officer (together, the “Executives”) of the non-renewal of their existing severance agreements with the Company, each dated July 9, 2008 (the “Prior Severance Agreements”), which will expire on December 31, 2013. On September 18, 2013, the Company and each of the Executives entered into new Severance Agreements (the “New Severance Agreements”), which will become effective January 1, 2014. The terms of the New Severance Agreements are substantially the same as those of the Prior Severance Agreements, except for the elimination of the tax gross up provision for “excess parachute payments” and addition of certain restrictive covenants. A copy of the form of New Severance Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The initial term of the New Severance Agreements expires on December 31, 2014, but is automatically renewed for successive calendar years commencing on January 1, 2015 unless notice of nonrenewal has been provided by either party to the New Severance Agreement. The New Severance Agreements are automatically extended for twenty-four months following a Change in Control.

A Change in Control is deemed to occur if: (i) any person becomes the owner of 30% or more of the Company’s voting securities; (ii) the majority of the membership of the Board changes without approval of two-thirds of the directors who either were directors on the date of the related New Severance Agreement, or whose election was previously so approved; (iii) there is a merger or consolidation with another company following which the members of the Board do not constitute a majority of the members of the board of the surviving entity; or (iv) there is a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation.

Benefits are payable under the New Severance Agreements only upon termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company other than for cause or by the executive for Good Reason within two years following (or in connection with) a Change in Control. “Good Reason” includes the assignment of duties inconsistent with the Executive’s status or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Executive’s responsibilities, relocation of the principal place of employment to a location that increases the one-way commute by more than 25 miles, reduction in base salary or failure to continue comparable compensation and benefit plans.

The New Severance Agreements provide for the following benefits upon termination of the Executive’s employment in a manner entitling the Executive to benefits:

• three times the sum of (i) the individual’s base salary in effect immediately prior to termination of employment (or, if higher, immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason), and (ii) the target annual incentive for the individual;

• continued life, dental, accident and health insurance benefits for three years;

• a pro rata bonus for the year in which employment terminates;

• payment equal to incremental benefits and contributions the Executive would have earned under Company pension and defined contribution plans assuming the Executive continued employment for an additional three years;

• outplacement services not to exceed $25,000; and

• replacement of the tax gross up provision for “excess parachute payments” in the Prior Severance Agreements with a “better of net-after-tax or cutback” provision which generally provides for a reduction in “excess parachute payments” to less than three times the “base amount” pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, if such reduction would place the Executive in a better after-tax financial position than if the full severance amount, including applicable taxes, was paid.

The foregoing benefits are subject to the Executive’s agreement to one-year non-competition, two-year non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants. The above description of the New Severance Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Exhibit 10.1

FORM OF

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated                     , is made by and between Lorillard, Inc. Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of key management personnel; and

WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof.

2. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2014 and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2014; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2015 and each January 1 thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 30 of the preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire no earlier than twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred.

3. Company’s Covenants Summarized. In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive’s covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and the other payments and benefits described herein. No Severance Payments shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been (or, under the terms of the second sentence of Section 6.1 hereof, there shall be deemed to have been) a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company following a Change in Control and during the Term. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

4. The Executive’s Covenants. The Executive agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control during the Term, the

Executive will remain in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the Potential Change in Control Period, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of termination by the Executive of the Executive’s employment for Good Reason or by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or (iv) the termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive further agrees that he will be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 9.3 hereof as a condition precedent to the receipt of any payments pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement.

5. Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.

5.1 Following a Change in Control and during the Term, and during any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive’s full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period (other than any disability plan), until the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability.

5.2 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

5.3 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

6. Severance Payments.

6.1 Subject to Sections 6.2 and 9.3 hereof, if the Executive’s employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 (“Severance Payments”), in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control

2

by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person, or (iii) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs).

(A) In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to three (3) times the sum of (i) the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (ii) the Executive’s target annual bonus under any annual bonus or incentive plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination or, if higher, the fiscal year in which occurs the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

(B) For the thirty-six (36) month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents life, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater after-tax cost to the Executive than the after-tax cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence; provided, however, that, unless the Executive consents to a different method, such health insurance benefits shall be provided through a third-party insurer. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(B) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive during the thirty-six (36) month period following the Executive’s termination of employment (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive); provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the after-tax cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. If the Severance Payments shall be decreased pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, and the Section 6.1(B) benefits which remain payable after the application of Section 6.2 hereof are thereafter reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall, no later than five (5) business days following such reduction, pay to the Executive the least of (a) the amount of the decrease made in the Severance Payments pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, (b) the amount of the subsequent reduction in these Section 6.1(B) benefits, or (c) the maximum amount which can be paid to the Executive without being, or causing any other payment to be, nondeductible by reason of section 280G of the Code.

3

(C) Notwithstanding any provision of any annual incentive plan to the contrary, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid incentive compensation which has been allocated or awarded to the Executive for a completed fiscal year preceding the Date of Termination under any such plan and which, as of the Date of Termination, is contingent only upon the continued employment of the Executive to a subsequent date, and (ii) a pro rata portion to the Date of Termination of the annual incentive bonus the Executive would have received for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, calculated by multiplying the award that the Executive would have earned on the last day of such year, assuming achievement at the target level of the individual and corporate performance goals established with respect to such award, by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of full months and any fractional portion of a month during such year through the Date of Termination by twelve (12).

(D) In addition to the retirement benefits to which the Executive is entitled under each DB Pension Plan or any successor plan thereto, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the excess of (i) the actuarial equivalent of the aggregate retirement pension (taking into account any early retirement subsidies associated therewith and determined as a straight life annuity commencing at the date (but in no event earlier than the third anniversary of the Date of Termination) as of which the actuarial equivalent of such annuity is greatest) which the Executive would have accrued under the terms of all DB Pension Plans (without regard to any amendment to any DB Pension Plan made subsequent to a Change in Control, which amendment adversely affects in any manner the computation of retirement benefits thereunder), determined as if the Executive were fully vested thereunder and had accumulated (after the Date of Termination) thirty-six (36) additional months of service credit thereunder and had been credited under each DB Pension Plan during such period with compensation equal to the Executive’s compensation (as defined in such DB Pension Plan) during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding Date of Termination or, if higher, during the twelve months immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, over (ii) the actuarial equivalent of the aggregate retirement pension (taking into account any early retirement subsidies associated therewith and determined as a straight life annuity commencing at the date (but in no event earlier than the Date of Termination) as of which the actuarial equivalent of such annuity is greatest) which the Executive had accrued pursuant to the provisions of the DB Pension Plans as of the Date of Termination. For purposes of this Section 6.1(D), “actuarial equivalent” shall be determined using the same assumptions utilized under the Retirement Plan for Employees of Lorillard Tobacco Company immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. In addition to the benefits to which the Executive is entitled under each DC Pension Plan, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) the amount that would have been contributed thereto by the Company on the Executive’s behalf during the three years immediately following the Date of Termination, determined (x) as if the Executive made the maximum permissible contributions thereto during such period, (y) as if the Executive earned compensation during such period at a rate equal to the Executive’s compensation (as defined in the DC Pension Plan) during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if higher, during the twelve months immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (z) without regard to any amendment to the DC Pension Plan made subsequent to a Change

4

in Control, which amendment adversely affects in any manner the computation of benefits thereunder, and (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Executive’s account balance under the DC Pension Plan as of the Date of Termination over (y) the portion of such account balance that is nonforfeitable under the terms of the DC Pension Plan.

(E) If the Executive would have become entitled to benefits under the Company’s post-retirement health care or life insurance plans, as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, had the Executive’s employment terminated at any time during the period of thirty-six (36) months after the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide such post-retirement health care or life insurance benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s dependents commencing on the later of (i) the date on which such coverage would have first become available and (ii) the date on which benefits described in subsection (B) of this Section 6.1 terminate.

(F) The Company shall provide the Executive with $25,000 of outplacement services suitable to the Executive’s position for a period of one year immediately following the Date of Termination or, if earlier, until the first acceptance by the Executive of an offer of employment.

6.2 (A) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Accounting Firm and tax counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the Accounting Firm (“Tax Counsel”) shall determine that receipt of all Payments would subject the Executive to the Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm, with the advice of Tax Counsel, shall determine whether to reduce any of the Payments paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Severance Payments (the “Agreement Payments”) so that the Parachute Value of all Payments, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. The Agreement Payments shall be so reduced only if the Accounting Firm, with the advice of Tax Counsel, determines that the Executive would have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt of aggregate Payments if the Agreement Payments were so reduced. If the Accounting Firm, with the advice of Tax Counsel, determines that the Executive would not have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt of aggregate Payments if the Agreement Payments were so reduced, the Executive shall receive all Agreement Payments to which the Executive is entitled hereunder. Such determinations shall be in writing.

(B) In making the determination under Sections 6.2(A) and 6.2(B), (i) all of the Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, unless in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code (with the Tax Counsel’s determination, to the extent requested by the Executive, to include a good faith valuation of any agreement with the Executive pursuant to which the Executive agrees to refrain from performing services), (ii) all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of

5

any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. Prior to the payment date set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, the Company shall provide the Executive with its calculation, supported by the above-referenced determinations of the Accounting Firm and Tax Counsel, of whether the Agreement Payments shall be reduced or not and the amounts referred to in this Section 6.2(B) and such supporting materials as are reasonably necessary for the Executive to evaluate the Company’s calculations. If the Executive disputes the Company’s calculations (in whole or in part), the reasonable opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the matter in dispute shall prevail.

(C) For purposes of reducing the Agreement Payments so that the Parachute Value of all Payments, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount as may apply under Section 6.2(A), only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing the payments (to the extent such amounts are considered Payments) under the following sections in the following order: (1) any Agreement Payments under Section 6.1(A); (2) any Agreement Payments under Section 6.1(C)(ii); (3) any Agreement Payments under Section 6.1(D); (4) any Agreement Payments under Section 6.1(E); (5) any Agreement Payments under 6.1(F); (6) any Agreement Payments under Section 6.1(B); and (7) any other cash Agreement Payments that would be made upon a termination of the Executive’s employment, beginning, for purposes of this Section, with such other cash Agreement Payments that would be made last in time. For all purposes of this Section 6.2, all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and Tax Counsel shall be borne solely by the Company.

(D) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm and Tax Counsel hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed (“Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement should have been so paid or distributed (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Safe Harbor Amount hereunder. In the event that a final nonappealable decision is entered as to any amount of an assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or the Executive, the Executive shall promptly (and in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date on which such final nonappealable decision respecting any such Overpayment is entered) pay any such Overpayment to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal short-term rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code compounded semi-annually; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Executive to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject to tax under Sections 1, 3101 and 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be paid promptly (and in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the Underpayment is determined) by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable federal short-term rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code compounded semi-annually.

6

6.3 The payments provided in subsections (A), (C) and (D) of Section 6.1 hereof shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments, and the limitation on such payments set forth in Section 6.2 hereof, cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Executive is terminated (i) following a Change in Control but prior to a change in ownership or control of the Company or in a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or (ii) prior to a Change in Control in a manner described in Section 6.1, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts payable to the Executive hereunder, to the extent not in excess of the amount that the Executive would have received under any other pre-Change in Control severance plan or arrangement with the Company had such plan or arrangement been applicable, shall be paid at the time and in the manner provided by such plan or arrangement and the remainder shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the prior sentence of this Section 6.3.

6.4 The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses are incurred.

7. Termination Procedures.

7.1 Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control and during the Term, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

7

7.2 Date of Termination. “Date of Termination,” with respect to any purported termination of the Executive’s employment after a Change in Control and during the Term, shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties during such thirty (30) day period), and (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall not be less than thirty (30) days (except in the case of a termination for Cause) and, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given).

8. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Further, except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(B) hereof, no payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

9. Successors; Binding Agreement; Restrictive Covenants.

9.1 Successors. In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company shall require 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, prior to such succession, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

9.2 Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate.

9.3 Restrictive Covenants. As a condition precedent to Executive’s receipt of any payments pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Executive agrees to the following restrictive covenants (it being understood and agreed that (i) the restrictive covenants in this Section 9.3 shall in no event apply unless Executive becomes eligible to receive payments pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement and (ii) the restrictive covenants in this Section 9.3 are expressly conditioned on the payment and/or continued payment by the Company of the amounts to which Executive becomes entitled under Section 6 of this Agreement):

(A) Confidentiality. Executive agrees not to disclose to any person not employed by the Company, any confidential information of the Company obtained by Executive while in the employ of the Company, including, without limitation, information relating to any of

8

the Company’s or its subsidiaries’, and affiliates’ (within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933) (the “Affiliated Entities”), inventions, processes, formulae, plans, devices, compilations of information, methods of distribution, customers, client relationships, marketing strategies or trade secrets; provided, however, that this provision will not preclude Executive from the use or disclosure of information generally known or available in the marketplace through no fault of Executive or from disclosure required by law or court order or to enforce Executive’s rights in any litigation, mediation or arbitration involving this Agreement or any other agreement between Executive or among Executive and the Company or its Affiliated Entities, or to perform Executive’s duties to the Company. Executive’s obligations hereunder will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any obligations or duties imposed upon Executive by law.

(B) Non-Competition Covenant. Executive agrees that at all times during the one-year period following the Date of Termination , Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (i) be employed by, engaged as a consultant, director or advisor for or provide any services or assistance in any capacity to any company or other entity, firm or organization that researches, develops, manufactures, provides, sells or markets products or services that compete or will compete with the products and/or services manufactured, marketed, sold or being researched or developed by the Company or its Affiliated Entities as of the Date of Termination (a “Competitor”) or (ii) organize, establish or operate as a Competitor.

(C) Non-Solicitation of Customers. Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the two-year period following the Date of Termination (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or persuade or attempt to solicit, induce or persuade any customer, client, supplier, licensee or other business relation (in each case, whether former, current or prospective) of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities to cease doing business with the Company or such Affiliated Entity, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, client, investor, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and the Company or any Affiliated Entity, on the other hand.

(D) Non-Solicitation/No Hire of Employees. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, without the Company’s written consent, during the Non-Solicitation Period Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or persuade or attempt to solicit, induce or persuade any individual who is, on the Date of Termination (or was, during the six-month period prior to the Date of Termination ), employed by or providing services to the Company or the Affiliated Entities to terminate or refrain from renewing or extending such employment or services, or to become employed by or become a consultant to any other individual, entity, firm or organization other than the Company or the Affiliated Entities. In addition, during the Non-Solicitation Period, Executive will not, without the Company’s written consent, directly or with knowledge indirectly, hire any person who is or who was, within the six-month period preceding such activity, an employee of the Company or its Affiliated Entities; provided, however, that Executive will be deemed to have knowledge with respect to the hiring of any such individual at the level of vice president or above.

(E) Enforcement; Remedies. Executive understands that the provisions of this Section 9.3 may limit Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, but Executive nevertheless agrees that such provisions do not impose a

9

greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, are reasonable limitations as to scope and duration and are not unduly burdensome to Executive. Executive further agrees that the Company would be irreparably harmed by any actual or threatened breach of the covenants in this Section 9.3 and that, in addition to any other remedies at law including money damages, the Company will be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining Executive from any actual or threatened breach of this letter in any court which may have competent jurisdiction over the matter in dispute. With respect to any provision of this Section 9.3 finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, Executive hereby agrees that a court shall have jurisdiction to reform such provisions, including the duration or scope of such provisions, as the case may be, so that they are enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any of the covenants of this Section 9.3 are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination will not be a bar to or in any way diminish the rights of the Company to enforce any such covenant in any other jurisdiction.

10. Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Executive, to the address shown in the personnel records of the Company and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1 General. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party, including but not limited to the Lorillard Tobacco Company Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”); provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and the Executive Severance Plan, in each case only in the event that the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated on, following, or in connection with a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause

10

or by the Executive for Good Reason. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed. The obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6, 7 and 9.3 hereof) shall survive such expiration.

11.2 Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payments shall be due to Executive under this Agreement providing for payment of amounts on termination of employment unless Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A and any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. All reimbursements shall be paid within five (5) business days after delivery of Executive’s written request for payment accompanied by evidence of the fees and expenses incurred, as the Company may reasonably require, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses are incurred. To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s termination of employment (or upon Executive’s death, if earlier), together with interest calculated from the fifth (5th) day following termination of employment until the date of payment, at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time, compounded annually.

12. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

11

14. Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration.

14.1 All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after notification by the Board that the Executive’s claim has been denied. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of any dispute, any decision by the Board hereunder shall be subject to a de novo review by the arbitrator.

14.2 Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Greensboro, North Carolina in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
