THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made as of _________________ (the “Date of Grant”) by and between HUMANA INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), and ______________________, an employee of the Company (hereinafter referred to as "Grantee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Humana Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") 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 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 ________________ Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right of the Grantee to receive (i) one (1) Share on the date of distribution provided for in Section 1.E. In addition, the 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 the 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. ________________ of the Restricted Stock Units and the related DERs shall vest based on time (“Time-Based Restricted Stock Units”) and _______________ of the Restricted Stock Units and the related DERs shall vest based on performance (the “Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units”), as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
Subject to the terms set forth below, the Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and the related DERs shall vest in full on the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vest Date”), (ii) the death or Disability of the Grantee, or (iii) a Change in Control.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Subject to the terms set forth below, if as of the Vest Date the Grantee and the Company have achieved the performance goals to be set forth in Appendix A, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units and related DERs shall vest to the extent such performance goals have been achieved. Effective on the Vest Date, any portion of the Performance-Based 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. Upon (i) the death or Disability of Grantee, or (ii) a Change in Control, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units and DERs shall immediately vest at the maximum level.
|
D. Forfeiture. Upon the termination of Grantee's employment with the Company prior to the time the Restricted Stock Units have vested pursuant to Section I.C., other than a termination in the event of Grantee’s Retirement, death, Disability or Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units and DERs thereupon shall be forfeited immediately by Grantee. In the event of Grantee’s Retirement, any Restricted Stock Units and DERs that have not vested as of the date of Retirement shall remain outstanding and shall vest in accordance with Section I.C., as if the Grantee were continuing to provide services to the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that some or all of such Restricted Stock Units and DERs held by the Grantee as of the date of Retirement shall vest.
E. Distributions. The Company shall issue to Grantee (or, if applicable, the Grantee’s estate or personal representative) Shares with respect to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and dividend equivalents accrued pursuant to the DERs with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, upon the earliest of (i) the date provided in Section I.C(i) hereof, (ii) the date of the occurrence of a Section 409A Change in Control (as defined below), (iii) the date of the Grantee’s death or (iv) the date the Grantee is determined to be Disabled, provided that such Disability also constitutes being “disabled” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 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 the 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, Grantee acknowledges that 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. If, however, Grantee is eligible for Retirement (as defined in the Plan) as of the date hereof, or becomes eligible for Retirement before the vesting of this award, federal employment taxes may be required by law to be collected by the Company immediately upon grant, or immediately upon the day the Grantee becomes eligible for Retirement, as applicable.
