Re: Severance Agreement and Release:

DO NOT SIGN UNTIL ON OR AFTER THE TERMINATION DATE

Dear Julian,

This letter (the “Agreement”) summarizes the terms of your separation from employment with Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”). The purpose of this Agreement is to establish an amicable arrangement for ending your employment relationship, to release the Company from all legally waivable claims and to permit you to receive severance pay and other benefits described herein, under the terms of the applicable Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Severance Benefits Plan (the “Severance Benefits Plan”).

By signing this Agreement, you will be giving up valuable legal rights. For this reason, it is very important that you carefully review and understand the Agreement before signing it. The deadline for accepting this Agreement is forty-five (45) days from the date of receipt of this document or three days after the Termination Date, whichever is later. If you do not sign and return this document within the forty-five (45) day period or by three days after the Termination Date, whichever is later, this offer of severance pay and benefits will expire. The Company encourages you to take advantage of this period of time by consulting with a lawyer, or other trusted advisor, before signing the document. IN ADDITION, NOTE THAT YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT UNTIL ON OR AFTER THE TERMINATION DATE (AS DEFINED BELOW). AN AGREEMENT SIGNED BEFORE THE TERMINATION DATE WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE OR ENFORCEABLE AND WILL NEED TO BE RE-SIGNED.

1. Employment Status and Final Payments:

(a) Termination Date: Your termination from employment with the Company will be effective as of 1/6/2017 (the “Termination Date”). As of the Termination Date, your salary will cease, and any entitlement you have or might have under a Company-provided benefit plan, program, contract or practice will terminate, except as required by federal or state law.

(b) You hereby acknowledge that you have been paid (i) all earned wages (ii) all accrued but unused vacation time, and (iii) fully accrued but unused and unexpired sabbatical time as of the Termination Date.

(c) The Termination Date shall be the date of the “qualifying event” under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”). If you are enrolled in the Company’s medical plans, you will be provided a benefits packet containing information on your COBRA rights and how to elect to convert to a direct pay plan under COBRA.

2. Consideration: In exchange for, and in consideration of, your full execution of this Agreement, and after the expiration of the Revocation Period set out in Section 10 below, the Company agrees as follows:

(a) Severance Pay: The Company will pay you a severance payment under the terms of the applicable Severance Benefits Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Severance Benefits Plan, you are entitled to severance payments equivalent to your Base Salary (as defined in the Severance Benefits Plan) for a period of 66 weeks (the “Severance Period”). This severance amount will be paid to you in the form of a one-time lump sum payment on a regularly scheduled payroll day within ten (10) business days after the Release Effective Date as defined in the Severance Benefits Plan.

(b) COBRA Premiums: If you elect in a timely manner to continue medical, dental and vision insurance coverage, as applicable, after the Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of COBRA, the Company will pay your monthly premium payments until the earlier of: (i) the end of the Severance Period; (ii) the date you obtain new employment and are eligible for a new group health plan; or (iii) the date your COBRA continuation coverage would terminate in accordance with the provisions of COBRA. Thereafter, medical, dental and vision insurance coverage, as applicable, shall be continued only to the extent required by COBRA and only to the extent you timely pay the premium payments yourself. Please note that if the Company, in its sole discretion, subsequently determines that all or some of its payment of the COBRA premiums are discriminatory under Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, any remaining COBRA payments shall instead be paid to you as additional severance pay over the same period that the subsidy would have been provided.

(c) Outplacement Benefits: At your request, the Company will arrange and pay for reasonable outplacement services (“Outpatient Benefits”), pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Severance Benefits Plan.

(d) Annual Bonus: The Company will pay any unpaid annual bonus in respect to any completed bonus period which has ended prior to the Termination Date if the Company’s Board deems the bonus granted in its discretion, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth the Severance Benefits Plan.

(e) Equity Awards: The portion of any outstanding Company equity awards which would have vested within the one (1) year period following the Termination Date shall vest immediately upon the Release Effective Date as defined in the Severance Benefits Plan.

(f) Payments: The payments set forth in this Section 2 shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and/or local withholding and/or payroll taxes.
