For two years after your Termination Date, you will not, within any part of the United States or any other country   where Cigna currently conducts business:

(i) Provide services (as an employee independent contractor, or in any other capacity) that are the same as, similar to, or overlap with the services that you provided to Cigna as Chief Financial Officer for or on behalf of any business, entity or company (collectively "Competitors") that provides products or services that compete with those provided by Cigna, including the following: health care and benefits related products and services, group disability insurance and administration services, life and accident insurance, and related services (collectively, "Competitive Services"); (ii) own or operate a business that provides Competitive Services; or (iii) work for or become employed by a Competitor.

You agree to cooperate with Cigna in all investigations, litigation and arbitrations of any kind (including, but not limited to, governmental or regulatory investigations or inquiries), to assist and cooperate in the preparation and review of documents and in meetings with Cigna attorneys for any purpose (including but not limited to, deposition and/or trial preparation), and to provide truthful testimony as a witness or a declarant in connection with any present or future court, administrative agency, or arbitration proceeding involving Cigna and with respect to which you have relevant information.  Cigna will reimburse you, upon production of appropriate receipts and in accordance with Cigna's then existing Business Travel Reimbursement Policy, the reasonable business expenses (including coach air transportation, hotel, and, similar expenses) incurred by you in connection with such assistance. All receipts for such expenses must be presented for reimbursement within 45 days after the expenses are incurred in providing such assistance.

You agree that you will not at any time make any verbal or written statement,  whether in public or in private, that disparages in any way Cigna's integrity, business reputation, or performance, or disparages any of Cigna's directors, officers, or employees.  It shall not, however, be a violation of this paragraph for you to make truthful statements (i) when required to do so by a court of law or arbitrator, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over Cigna's business or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information, (ii) to the extent necessary concerning any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement or enforcement of this Agreement or (iii) in connection with any proceeding or investigation conducted by a federal, state or local government agency, including but not limited to, the EEOC, or when exercising rights protected by the National Labor Relations Act, as amended ("NLRA") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (SEA).

You hereby acknowledge that you are aware that the securities laws of the United States generally prohibit any person who has material non-public information about a company from, among other things, (1) purchasing or selling securities of such company or securities convertible into such securities on the basis of such information or (2) communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person may purchase or sell such securities or securities convertible into such securities. Accordingly, you agree that you will not make any purchase or sale of, or otherwise consummate any transactions involving, Cigna securities or securities convertible into Cigna securities, including with respect to your Cigna 401(k) account, while in possession of material Confidential Information regarding Cigna, nor will you communicate such information in a manner that violates the securities laws of the United States (regardless of whether such communication would be permitted elsewhere in this Agreement.)  If you consummate a transaction involving Cigna securities (or securities convertible into Cigna securities), you will file (or cause to be filed) any and all reports or notifications that may be required under Section 16 of the SEA.

If you have received any payment from Cigna that you were not entitled to receive (an "overpayment") or any other type of overpayment, or you owe Cigna money for any reason, you hereby authorize the Company to deduct such overpayment or money owed from the amount of your payment(s) described in paragraph 3 below.

Any coverage you have under the Cigna Medical Plan or Cigna Dental Plan on your Termination Date will expire at the end of the month containing your Termination Date.  You may elect, at your own expense, to continue your Company group health care coverage for up to 18 additional months under the provisions of COBRA.  You may elect coverage under the Company's retiree health care plan to begin as early as the month after your Termination Date or, if you elect COBRA coverage, the month after your COBRA coverage ends.  You will be billed monthly for any elected COBRA coverage.  You may convert certain group benefits coverages to individual coverages under the terms of the Company's benefits program. Any benefit coverage for which you may be eligible under the Cigna retiree health care and life insurance plans will be provided to you under the provisions of those plans but only to the extent that Cigna continues to provide such benefits to retirees.

Any benefits you may have earned under the Cigna Deferred Compensation, Pension, Supplemental Pension, 401(k) and Supplemental 401(k) Plans or other deferred payment arrangements will be paid to you under the terms and provisions of those plans and arrangements.

Until your Termination Date any options on Cigna Corporation stock that you hold will continue to vest under the terms of the applicable plan and your applicable grant, including the terms and conditions that you must continue to honor.  You may exercise vested options only in accordance with the terms of the plan and grants and subject to Cigna Corporation's Insider Trading Policy.  Any unexercised and unvested options that you hold on your Termination Date will be subject to the terms of the applicable plans and grant documents.

You will be entitled to receive payments at the time and in the form specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Cigna Long-Term Incentive Plan for a prorated number of the Strategic Performance Shares (SPS) that have been awarded to you, based on the number of months that you would have been employed during each 36-month performance period if your employment had continued through December 31, 2017, as follows:
