WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Humana Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was approved by the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders; and WHEREAS, the Company desires to award to Grantee Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the award of Restricted Stock Units to Grantee, the promises and mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and Grantee agree as follows: I. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT XXXXX X. Xxxxx. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Grantee, and Grantee hereby accepts from the Company <shares_awarded> Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) (which represents the target amount of shares available as set out on Appendix A). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right of Grantee to receive (i) one (1) Share on the date of distribution provided for in Section I.E. In addition, Grantee shall also have the right to receive all of the cash or in-kind dividends that are paid with respect to the Shares represented by the Restricted Stock Units to which this award relates (“DERs”). Dividend equivalents with respect to any such Share shall be paid on the same date that such Share is issued to Grantee pursuant to Section I.E. hereof. The DERs shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the restrictions and non-transferability, vesting, forfeiture and distribution provisions contained in Sections I.B through I.E., inclusive, of this Agreement. In the event that the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited pursuant to Section I.D. hereof, the related DER shall also be forfeited. B. Restrictions and Non-Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units and DERs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated. In addition, such Restricted Stock Units and DERs shall be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the provisions of Section I.D. C. Vesting of Shares. Subject to the terms set forth below, if as of the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”), Grantee and the Company have achieved the performance goals PSU – NCNS - RE
to be set forth in Appendix A, the Restricted Stock Units and related DERs shall vest to the extent such performance goals have been achieved. Effective on the Vesting Date, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units and the related DERs for which the performance goals set forth in Appendix A have not been satisfied shall be immediately forfeited. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon certain terminations of employment (as set forth below), all or a portion of the unvested Restricted Stock Units and DERs will vest in accordance with Sections 12 and 13 of the Plan. D. Forfeiture. Except as set forth in Sections 12 and 13 of the Plan, upon the termination of Grantee's employment with the Company prior to the time the Restricted Stock Units and DERs have vested, the Restricted Stock Units and DERs shall be forfeited immediately by Grantee. E. Distributions. The Company shall issue to Grantee (or, if applicable, Grantee’s estate or personal representative) Shares (or such other securities or other property into which the Shares have been converted, with any partial Shares or other securities to be settled in cash) with respect to Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and dividend equivalents accrued pursuant to the DERs with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, within 30 days of the date that the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section I.C hereof; provided, however, that, to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units are considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and the Restricted Stock Units vest in connection with Grantee’s Change in Control Termination (defined below), then unless the Change in Control is a Section 409A Change in Control, the distribution of Shares (or such other securities or other property into which the Shares have been converted) shall not be accelerated to the vesting date but such distribution shall instead occur based on the Vesting Dates set forth in Section I.C. hereof. A “Section 409A Change in Control” shall mean a Change in Control that also constitutes a “change in ownership or effective control” of the Company or a “change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company, in each case within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares may be transferred to any person other than Grantee unless such other person demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company such person’s right to the transfer. F. Taxes. Federal, state and local income and employment taxes and other amounts as may be required by law to be collected by the Company (“Withholding Taxes”) in connection with the distribution of Shares, cash or other property or, to the extent applicable, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or DERs hereunder, shall be paid by Grantee at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall withhold delivery of a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value as of the distribution date equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld in connection with such distribution. II. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE AND AGREEMENT NOT TO SOLICIT. Grantee agrees and understands that the Company’s business is a profit-generating business operating in a highly competitive business environment and that the Company has a legitimate business interest in, among other things, its confidential information and trade secrets (including as protected in other - 2 -
agreements and policies between the Company and Grantee) that it is providing Grantee, and in the significant time, money, training, team building and other efforts it expends to develop Grantee’s skills to assist in performing Grantee’s duties for the Company, including with respect to establishing, developing and maintaining the goodwill and business relationships with Protected Relationships (defined below) and employees, each of which Grantee agrees are valuable assets of the Company to which it has devoted substantial resources. Grantee acknowledges that the grant Grantee is receiving under the Plan is a meaningful way that the Company entrusts Grantee with its goodwill and aligns Grantee with the Company objective of increasing the value of the Company’s business. Accordingly, Grantee acknowledges the importance of protecting the value of the Company’s business through, among other things, covenants to restrict Grantee from engaging in activities that would adversely affect the value of the Company and its goodwill. A. Agreement Not to Compete. Grantee agrees that during the Restricted Period (defined below) and within the Restricted Geographic Area (defined below), Grantee will not, directly or indirectly, perform the same or similar responsibilities Grantee performed for the Company in connection with a Competitive Product or Service (defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee may accept employment with a Competitor (defined below) whose business is diversified, provided that: (1) Grantee will not be engaged in working on or providing Competitive Products or Services, or otherwise use or disclose the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets; and (2) the Company receives written assurances from the Competitor and Grantee that are satisfactory to the Company that Grantee will not work on or provide Competitive Products or Services, or otherwise use or disclose confidential information or trade secrets. In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent Grantee from investing Grantee’s funds in securities of a person engaged in a business that is directly competitive with the Company if the securities of such a person are listed for trading on a registered securities exchange or actively traded in an over-the-counter market and Grantee’s holdings represent less than one percent (1%) of the total number of outstanding shares or principal amount of the securities of such a person. B. Agreement Not to Solicit Protected Relationships. During the Restricted Period and in connection with a Competitive Product or Service, Grantee shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly: (1) solicit or attempt to solicit any Protected Relationships (defined below); or (2) induce or encourage any Protected Relationships to terminate a relationship with the Company or to otherwise cease to accept services or products from the Company. C. Agreement Not to Solicit Employees. During the Restricted Period, Grantee shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly: (1) or by assisting others, solicit, recruit, hire, or encourage (or attempt to solicit, recruit, hire or encourage), any Company employees or former employees with whom Grantee worked, had business contact, or about whom Grantee gained non-public or confidential information (“Employees or Former Employees”); (2) contact or communicate with Employees or Former Employees for the purpose of inducing, assisting, encouraging and/or facilitating them to terminate their employment with the Company or find employment or work with another person or - 3 -
entity; (3) provide or pass along to any person or entity the name, contact and/or background information about any Employees or Former Employees or provide references or any other information about them; (4) provide or pass along to Employees or Former Employees any information regarding potential jobs or entities or persons to work for, including but not limited to job openings, job postings, or the names or contact information of individuals or companies hiring people or accepting job applications; and/or (5) offer employment or work to any Employees or Former Employees. For purposes of this covenant, “Former Employees” shall refer to employees who are not employed by the Company at the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring, but were employed by, or working for the Company in the three (3) months prior to the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring and/or interference. D. Effect of Termination of Employment other than a Change in Control Termination on Agreements Not to Compete and Not to Solicit. 1. In the event Grantee voluntarily resigns or is discharged by the Company with Cause at any time prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit, the prohibitions on Grantee set forth in Sections II.A, II.B and II.C. shall remain in full force and effect. 2. In the event Grantee is discharged by the Company other than with Cause, including in connection with a Workforce Reduction or Position Elimination, or certain divestiture related terminations, prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit, the prohibitions set forth in Section II.A shall remain in full force and effect during the period of time following Grantee’s termination equal to the lesser of (x) the Restricted Period or (y) the period of time during which Grantee is deemed to be entitled to severance measured by the sum of (i) the number of weeks Grantee is entitled to severance under the Company’s applicable severance policy, plus (ii) a number of weeks equal to (A) the value of the Restricted Stock Units that would remain outstanding subject to the achievement of the performance goals (or the value of the acceleration, if any, of the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit as a result of Grantee’s termination under this Agreement or the Plan that would otherwise have been forfeited), with such value measured by multiplying the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units. assuming target performance has been achieved (or by the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit that become vested as a result of the acceleration of vesting, if any). by the per Share Fair Market Value on the Last Day, divided by (B) Grantee’s then-current weekly base salary, plus (iii) any additional period that the Company determines to provide severance to Grantee, in its discretion. 3. In the event Grantee is discharged by the Company other than with Cause prior to vesting herein of the Restricted Stock Units, the prohibitions set forth in Sections II.B and II. C above shall remain in full force and effect. 4. After the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit, the prohibitions on Grantee set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided in Section II.E. - 4 -
E. Effect of a Change in Control Termination on Agreements Not to Compete and Not to Solicit. 1. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section II.D., in the event of a Change in Control Termination, the prohibitions on Grantee set forth in Section II.A shall remain in full force and effect only if the acquirer or successor to the Company following the Change in Control shall, solely at its option, pay, within thirty (30) days following Grantee's employment termination date with the Company or its successor, to Grantee the Non-Compete Payment. Notwithstanding any previous agreement between Grantee and the Company relating to the prohibitions on Grantee set forth in Section II.A, the “Non- Compete Payment” shall be an amount at least equal to Grantee’s then current annual base salary. Such amount shall be in addition to any other amounts paid or payable to Grantee with respect to other severance plans or policies maintained by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section II.E shall supersede any agreement between Grantee and the Company relating to the prohibitions on Grantee set forth in Section II.A, with the exception of any similar agreement contained in (i) any employment agreement between Grantee and the Company, (ii) any agreement between Grantee and the Company not related to the employment of Grantee by the Company, (iii) any severance plan or policy of the Company and (iv) any change in control severance plan or policy of the Company. 2. In the event of a Change in Control Termination, the prohibitions on Grantee set forth in Sections II.B. and II.C. shall remain in full force and effect. F. Governing Law. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section II of the Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without regard to its conflicts or choice of laws rules or principles that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Section II to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. G. Injunctive Relief; Invalidity of Any Provision. Grantee acknowledges that (1) his or her services to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, (2) his or her position with the Company will place him or her in a position of confidence and trust with respect to the operations of the Company, (3) he or she will benefit from continued employment with the Company, (4) the nature and periods of restrictions imposed by the covenants contained in this Section II are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the Company, (5) the Company would sustain immediate and irreparable loss and damage if Grantee were to breach any of such covenants, and (6) the Company’s remedy at law for such a breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Grantee agrees and consents that the Company, in addition to the recovery of damages and all other remedies available to it, at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek both preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent and/or halt a breach or threatened breach by Grantee of any covenant contained in Section II hereof. If any provision of this Section II is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid in whole or in part, it shall be deemed to have been amended, whether as to time, area covered or otherwise, as and to the extent required for its validity - 5 -
