Severance Policy

On December 6, 2022, the Compensation Committee of Frontdoor, Inc. (the "Company") adopted the Frontdoor, Inc. Executive Severance Policy (the "Policy") to provide severance benefits to certain eligible employees of the Company and its affiliates who experience a termination of employment under the conditions described in the Policy. Eligible employees under the Policy include (i) each executive level employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates with a title of Senior Vice President or higher, including the Company's named executive officers, and (ii) any other individual or role identified by the Compensation Committee (each, a "Covered Person"). The Policy will be effective as of January 1, 2023.

Severance Not in Connection with a Change in Control. If a Covered Person's employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Policy) or (ii) on account of the Covered Person's resignation from employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Policy) (each, a "Qualifying Termination"), and such Qualifying Termination is not in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Policy) of the Company, the Company will provide the Covered Person with the following severance payments and benefits subject to the limitations described in the Policy:



        •    an amount equal to the sum of the Covered Person's (i) annual base
             salary and (ii) target annual bonus;



        •    an amount equal to the Covered Person's annual bonus earned with
             respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which
             the Qualifying Termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid;



        •    if the date of the Covered Person's Qualifying Termination occurs on
             or after June 30 of the calendar year of termination, an amount equal
             to a pro rata portion of the Covered Person's target annual bonus for
             such calendar year, based on the number of days employed during such
             calendar year;



        •    reimbursement for monthly premiums payable for elected continued
             health coverage under the Company-sponsored health plans pursuant to
             the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") for
             twelve (12) months following the date of the Covered Person's
             Qualifying Termination, which reimbursement of premiums will cease
             upon the date the Covered Person obtains health care coverage from
             another employer; and



        •    outplacement services as provided by a third party selected by the
             Company in accordance with the Company's outplacement program,
             provided, such outplacement services are initiated within sixty
             (60) days of the date of the Covered Person's Qualifying Termination.

The non-Change-in-Control annual base salary and target annual bonus cash severance payments will be made in substantially equal installments over the 12-month period following the Covered Person's Qualifying Termination, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices (unless the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to pay such amount in a lump sum within 30 days following the Covered Person's Qualifying Termination). Notwithstanding the adoption of the Policy, if at the time of any Qualifying Termination a Covered Person is subject to any existing agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates providing for severance benefits in connection with a Qualifying Termination, such Covered Person shall be entitled to the better of amounts payable under the Policy or amounts otherwise payable under such Covered Person's existing agreement.

Severance in Connection with a Change in Control. If a Covered Person experiences a Qualifying Termination (i) in connection with a Change in Control of the Company or (ii) within two years after the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (a "Change in Control Qualifying Termination"), the Company will provide the Covered Person with the following severance payments and benefits:



        •    an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of the Covered Person's
             (i) annual base salary and (ii) target annual bonus;



        •    an amount equal to the Covered Person's annual bonus earned with
             respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which
             the Change of Control Qualifying Termination occurs, to the extent not
             previously paid;



        •    if the date of the Covered Person's Change of Control Qualifying
             Termination occurs on or after June 30 of the calendar year of
             termination, an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the Covered
             Person's target annual bonus for such calendar year, based on the
             number of days employed during such calendar year;



        •    reimbursement for monthly premiums payable for elected continued
             health coverage under the Company-sponsored health plans pursuant to
             COBRA for eighteen (18) months following the date of the Covered
             Person's Change of Control Qualifying Termination, which reimbursement
             of premiums will cease upon the date the Covered Person obtains health
             care coverage from another employer; and

        •    outplacement services as provided by a third party selected by the
             Company in accordance with the Company's outplacement program,
             provided, such outplacement services are initiated within sixty
             (60) days of the date of the Covered Person's Change in Control
             Qualifying Termination.

The Change-in-Control annual base salary and target annual bonus cash severance payments will be made in a lump sum within 30 days following the Covered Person's Change of Control Qualifying Termination.

Release and Restrictive Covenants. Receipt of the severance payments and benefits described above will be conditioned on the Covered Person's execution (and non-revocation) of a separation agreement containing a customary general release of claims in favor of the Company, its current and former subsidiaries and affiliates and its current and former employees, officers, directors and agents and, to the extent the Covered Person is not otherwise subject to the Company's standard restrictive covenant agreement, restrictive covenants that are substantially the same as contained in such standard restrictive covenant agreement.
