AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of July 23, 2015 (this “Agreement”), among ANTHEM, INC., an Indiana corporation (“Anthem”), ANTHEM MERGER SUB CORP., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Anthem (“Merger Sub”) and CIGNA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Cigna”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors (as defined in Section 8.13) of Anthem and Cigna deem it advisable and in the best interests of Anthem and Cigna, respectively, and their respective shareholders and stockholders that Anthem and Cigna engage in a business combination in order to advance the long-term strategic business interests of Anthem and Cigna;

WHEREAS, the combination of Anthem and Cigna shall be effected by the terms of this Agreement through a merger as outlined below;

WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of Directors of Anthem, Merger Sub and Cigna have adopted or approved this Agreement, pursuant to which (a) Merger Sub will be merged with and into Cigna on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, with Cigna as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), with each share of common stock, $0.25 par value, of Cigna (“Cigna Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3) (other than (i) Cigna Treasury Shares (as defined in Section 1.8(a)), (ii) shares of Cigna Common Stock owned by Anthem or a Subsidiary (as defined in Section 8.13) of Cigna or Anthem (including Merger Sub), (iii) shares of Cigna Common Stock that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who shall not have voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have properly demanded in writing appraisal for such shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and (iv) shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to Cigna Restricted Stock Awards) being converted into the right to receive (x) $103.40 in cash, without interest, and (y) 0.5152 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Anthem (“Anthem Common Stock”) and (b) if the 368 Opinions (as defined in Section 8.13) are delivered prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 5.11, the Initial Surviving Corporation (as defined in Section 1.1) will, immediately following the Merger, merge with and into Anthem (the “Second Merger” and, together with the Merger, the “Mergers”), with Anthem as the surviving corporation, pursuant to the Second Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, if the Second Merger occurs, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Mergers, taken together, shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and that this Agreement, taken together with the Second Merger Agreement (as defined in Section 8.13), shall constitute a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGERS

1.1 The Mergers. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Cigna at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3). Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate

existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Cigna shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, the Initial Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Anthem. Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL and the Indiana Business Corporation Law (“IBCL”), if the 368 Opinions are delivered prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 5.11, the Initial Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Anthem pursuant to the Second Merger Agreement. Upon consummation of the Second Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Initial Surviving Corporation will cease and Anthem shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the Merger, the Second Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place on the fifth Business Day (as defined in Section 8.13) after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than any such conditions which by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which shall be required to be so satisfied or waived (subject to applicable law) on the Closing Date), unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the actual time and date of the Closing being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of White & Case LLP, 1155 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10036, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

1.3 Effective Time. At the Closing, the parties shall file a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such subsequent time as Anthem and Cigna shall agree and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger will have the effects set forth in the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Cigna and Merger Sub shall be vested in the Initial Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Cigna and Merger Sub shall be the debts, liabilities and duties of the Initial Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

1.6 Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except the references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced by references to “CIGNA CORPORATION” until thereafter changed or amended or repealed as provided therein, in the certificate of incorporation of the Initial Surviving Corporation or by applicable law.

1.7 Directors and Officers of Initial Surviving Corporation. The directors of Merger Sub as of the Effective Time shall serve as directors of the Initial Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be a director or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. The persons designated as officers of Merger Sub by the Board of Directors of Merger Sub prior to the Effective Time shall serve as the officers of the Initial Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be an officer or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.8 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Cigna Common Stock:

(a) All shares of Cigna Common Stock that are held directly by Cigna as treasury stock (the “Cigna Treasury Shares”) or beneficially owned by Anthem or a Subsidiary of Cigna or Anthem (including Merger Sub) shall be canceled and shall cease to exist and no cash, Anthem Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Each share of Cigna Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Cigna Treasury Shares, (ii) shares of Cigna Common Stock beneficially owned by Anthem or a Subsidiary of Cigna or Anthem (including Merger Sub), (iii) Dissenting Shares and (iv) shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to Cigna Restricted Stock Awards) shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (x) $103.40 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), and (y) 0.5152 of a share of Anthem Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Upon such conversion, all such shares of Cigna Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of (1) a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Cigna Common Stock (a “Cigna Certificate”) or (2) shares of Cigna Common Stock held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall, in each case, cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the rights to receive the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.5 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3, in each case upon the surrender of a Cigna Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Dissenting Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payments set forth in Section 1.9.

(c) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Initial Surviving Corporation.

1.9 Dissenter’s Rights. The Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration or be entitled to cash in lieu of fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock or any dividends or other distributions pursuant to this Article I unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal of such shares of Cigna Common Stock held by such holder under Section 262 of the DGCL, and any Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to shares of Cigna Common Stock owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. If any Person (as defined in Section 8.13) who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent with respect to any shares of Cigna Common Stock, such shares of Cigna Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as though such shares of Cigna Common Stock had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8. Cigna shall give Anthem (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law received by Cigna relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to jointly participate in and jointly direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Cigna shall not, except with the prior written consent of Anthem, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals of Dissenting Shares, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

1.10 Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Anthem shall enter into a customary exchange agreement with a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Anthem

and reasonably acceptable to Cigna as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Cigna Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration.

1.11 Cigna Stock Options and Other Stock Awards.

(a) Anthem and Cigna shall take all actions reasonably necessary so that (i) each Cigna Stock Option that is vested, outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Cigna Stock Option”), shall be cancelled and converted automatically as of the Effective Time into the right to promptly receive the applicable Vested Cigna Stock Option Consideration in accordance with Section 1.11(g) and (ii) each Cigna Stock Option that is unvested, outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Cigna Stock Option”), shall be converted automatically as of the Effective Time into an option to purchase a number of shares of Anthem Common Stock (a “Converted Option”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Unvested Cigna Stock Option multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio; provided that any fractional share resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of each such Converted Option shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Unvested Cigna Stock Option under the plan and award agreements pursuant to which such Unvested Cigna Stock Option was granted as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting schedules, payment schedules and any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Effective Time), except that the per share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of each such Converted Option shall equal the per share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of the corresponding Unvested Cigna Stock Option divided by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, that such exercise price or base price, as applicable, of, and the number of shares of Anthem Common Stock purchasable pursuant to, each such Converted Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Unvested Cigna Stock Option which is intended to be an “incentive stock option” (as defined under Section 422 of the Code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code. Cigna shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Anthem nor the Surviving Entity will be required to deliver shares of Anthem Common Stock or other capital stock of the Surviving Entity to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Vested Cigna Stock Option after the Effective Time, other than in connection with the payment of the applicable Vested Cigna Stock Option Consideration in accordance with Section 1.11(g).

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Anthem Stock Value” means the average of the volume weighted average price per share of Anthem Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Inc. (“NYSE”) (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Anthem and Cigna) on each of the five consecutive trading days ending with the second complete trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date;

“Cash Percentage” means the percentage resulting from dividing (i) the Cash Consideration by (ii) the Merger Consideration Cash Value;

“Cigna Stock Option” means any employee or director stock option or stock appreciation right exercisable for, or valued with respect to, shares of Cigna Common Stock granted under any Cigna Stock Plan;

“Equity Award Exchange Ratio” means the sum of (i) the Stock Consideration plus (ii) the quotient of (A) the Cash Consideration divided by (B) the Anthem Stock Value;

“Merger Consideration Cash Value” means the sum of (i) the Cash Consideration plus (ii) the product of (A) the Stock Consideration multiplied by (B) the Anthem Stock Value;

“Spread Value” means, for any Vested Cigna Stock Option, the positive difference, if any, between (i) the Merger Consideration Cash Value, less (ii) the per share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of such Vested Cigna Stock Option;

“Stock Percentage” means the percentage equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage; and

“Vested Cigna Stock Option Consideration” means, for any Vested Cigna Stock Option, (1) an amount of cash equal to the product of (A) the Spread Value of such Vested Cigna Stock Option multiplied by (B) the Cash Percentage multiplied by (C) the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Vested Cigna Stock Option, and (2) a number of vested shares of Anthem Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the product of (x) the Spread Value of such Vested Cigna Stock Option multiplied by (y) the Stock Percentage multiplied by (z) the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Vested Cigna Stock Option divided by (B) the Anthem Stock Value; provided, that any fractional share of Anthem Common Stock resulting from such quotient shall instead be paid in cash pursuant to clause (1) above in an amount equal to the product of (x) such fraction multiplied by (y) the Anthem Stock Value.

(b) Anthem and Cigna shall take all actions reasonably necessary so that each restricted stock award granted under any Cigna Stock Plan (each, a “Cigna Restricted Stock Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award, shall be converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock award with respect to a number of shares of Anthem Common Stock (a “Converted Restricted Stock Award”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Cigna Restricted Stock Award multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio; provided, that any fractional shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of each such Converted Restricted Stock Award shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Cigna Restricted Stock Award under the plan and award agreements pursuant to which such Cigna Restricted Stock Award was granted as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting schedules, payment schedules and any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Effective Time); provided that such terms and conditions shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Anthem and Cigna shall take all actions reasonably necessary so that each Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to promptly receive the following in accordance with Section 1.11(g): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the Cash Consideration multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award, together with any dividends accrued with respect thereto in accordance with the

applicable Cigna Stock Plan and equity award agreement, and (ii) a Converted Restricted Stock Award with respect to a number of shares of Anthem Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the Stock Consideration multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award; provided, that any fractional shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of each such Converted Restricted Stock Award shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award under the plan and award agreements pursuant to which such Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award was granted as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting schedules, payment schedules and any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Effective Time); provided, that such terms and conditions will be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Band 4 Employee” means any employee of Cigna or its Subsidiaries who is designated by Cigna as being a career band 4 employee for purposes of this Section 1.11(c) as of the Effective Time; and

“Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Award” means any Cigna Restricted Stock Award that is granted prior to July 1, 2015 and is held by a Band 4 Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Anthem and Cigna shall take all actions reasonably necessary so that each restricted stock unit award granted under any Cigna Stock Plan (each, a “Cigna Restricted Stock Unit Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of Anthem Common Stock (a “Converted Restricted Stock Unit Award”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Cigna Restricted Stock Unit Award multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio; provided, that any fractional shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of each such Converted Restricted Stock Unit Award shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Cigna Restricted Stock Unit Award under the plan and award agreements pursuant to which such Cigna Restricted Stock Unit Award was granted as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting schedules, payment schedules and any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Effective Time); provided, that such terms and conditions will be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

(e) Anthem and Cigna shall take all actions reasonably necessary so that each strategic performance share award granted under any Cigna Stock Plan (each, a “Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of Anthem Common Stock (a “Converted Strategic Performance Share Award”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Cigna Strategic Performance Share Awards (determined at the Applicable Vesting Percentage) multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio; provided, that any fractional shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of each such Converted Strategic Performance Share Award shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Cigna Strategic

Performance Share Award under the plan and award agreements pursuant to which such Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award was granted as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting schedules and payment schedules); provided, that each Converted Strategic Performance Share Award shall only be subject to time-based vesting provisions following the Effective Time (which shall include any terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Effective Time) and that such terms and conditions will be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Applicable Vesting Percentage” shall mean the following “shares earned percentage” (or equivalent performance vesting percentage referenced in the applicable Cigna Stock Plan or equity award agreement) with respect to each Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award, in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors of Cigna (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the applicable Cigna Stock Plan) prior to the Effective Time:

(1) in the event the Effective Time occurs on or following the completion of the performance period applicable to such Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award, the shares earned percentage determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable Cigna Stock Plan or equity award agreement; and

(2) in the event the Effective Time occurs prior to the completion of the performance period applicable to such Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award, the shares earned percentage determined by the greatest of (i) 100%, (ii) the shares earned percentage in respect of the most recently completed Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award performance period that ended immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) the average of the shares earned percentages in respect of the two most recently completed Cigna Strategic Performance Share Award performance periods that ended immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Anthem and Cigna shall take all actions reasonably necessary so that each deferred stock unit or similar award granted or deferred under any Cigna Stock Plan (each, a “Cigna Deferred Stock Unit Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically at the Effective Time into a deferred stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of Anthem Common Stock (a “Converted Deferred Stock Unit Award”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Cigna Common Stock subject to such Cigna Deferred Stock Unit Award multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio; provided, that any fractional shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of each such Converted Deferred Stock Unit Award shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Cigna Deferred Stock Unit Award under the plan and award agreements pursuant to which such Cigna Deferred Stock Unit Award was granted as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including payment schedules and settlement terms); provided, that such terms and conditions will be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Cigna Restricted Stock Awards, Cigna Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Cigna Strategic Performance Share Awards and Cigna Deferred Stock Unit Awards shall be

referred to as the “Other Stock Awards” and the Converted Restricted Stock Awards, Converted Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Converted Strategic Performance Share Awards and Converted Deferred Stock Unit Awards shall be referred to as the “Converted Other Stock Awards.”

(g) The Surviving Entity shall (i) pay as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event no later than five Business Days) following the Effective Time the cash amounts and shares of vested Anthem Common Stock due to the holders of Vested Cigna Stock Options pursuant to Section 1.11(a) and the amounts due to holders of Band 4 Pre-Existing Cigna Restricted Stock Awards pursuant to Section 1.11(c) and (ii) pay the amounts payable with respect to Converted Options and Converted Other Stock Awards at the times required under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement relating to the corresponding Unvested Cigna Stock Option or Other Stock Award, in accordance with the terms thereof (including any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Effective Time).

(h) Anthem shall, as of the Effective Time, assume the obligations of Cigna under all plans and agreements pursuant to which a Cigna Stock Option or Other Stock Award has been issued or deferred (the “Cigna Stock Plans”) and shall take all corporate action necessary to assume each Cigna Stock Plan and reserve for issuance pursuant to the assumed Cigna Stock Plans a sufficient number of shares of Anthem Common Stock for issuance with respect to the Converted Options and Converted Other Stock Awards. Anthem shall cause the registration of the shares of Anthem Common Stock issuable with respect to Converted Options and subject to the Converted Other Stock Awards to become effective as part of a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-3 as the case may be, or any successor or other appropriate forms, with respect to the shares of Anthem Common Stock issuable with respect to Converted Options and subject to the Converted Other Stock Awards no later than the Effective Time; and, thereafter, Anthem shall deliver to holders of Converted Options and Converted Other Stock Awards any applicable prospectus and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements, including the current status of any related prospectus, for so long as the Converted Options and Converted Other Stock Awards remain outstanding.

(i) Anthem and Cigna shall take all such steps within their control as may be required to cause the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.11 and any other deemed dispositions of Cigna equity securities (including derivative securities) or deemed acquisitions of Anthem equity securities (including derivative securities) in connection with this Agreement by each individual who (i) is a director or officer of Cigna or (ii) at the Effective Time will become a director or officer of Anthem, to become exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder.

(j) Prior to the Effective Time, Cigna shall be permitted (but not obligated) to deliver to each holder of Cigna Stock Options and Other Stock Awards an appropriate notice, in a form reasonably acceptable to Anthem, explaining the calculation of the Vested Cigna Stock Option Consideration, the Converted Options and Converted Other Awards, the Merger Consideration Cash Value, the Equity Award Exchange Ratio and the amounts payable to such holder with respect to this Section 1.11 and the timing thereof, and otherwise setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to the Cigna Stock Plans and equity award agreements, after giving effect to the transactions hereunder. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Anthem shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each holder of Converted Options or Converted Other Stock Awards an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to any such award, after giving effect to the transactions hereunder.

1.12 Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Anthem Common Stock or Cigna Common Stock shall have been changed into a

different number of shares or different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred, the Merger Consideration and the Equity Award Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Cigna Common Stock, Cigna Stock Options and Other Stock Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Anthem or Cigna to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as applicable.

1.13 Corporate Governance.

(a) Board of Directors.

(i) Composition. The parties shall take all actions necessary to cause, effective at the Effective Time, Anthem’s current Board of Directors to be increased so as to consist of 14 members, comprised of (A) the nine current members of Anthem’s Board of Directors (the “Anthem Designees”) and (B) five current members of Cigna’s Board of Directors designated by Cigna before the mailing of the Joint Proxy Statement, one of which shall be the current President and Chief Executive Officer, David Cordani, and four of which must be “independent” under the rules of the NYSE and the SEC with respect to Anthem (the “Cigna Designees”). If any Anthem Designee or Cigna Designee shall be unable or unwilling to serve as a director at the Effective Time, the party which designated such individual as indicated above shall designate another individual reasonably acceptable to the Governance Committee of Anthem (the “Governance Committee”) to serve in such individual’s place; provided, that each current member of Cigna’s Board of Directors shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Governance Committee. The Anthem Designees and Cigna Designees who are designated will be split such that two of the three classes of Anthem directors will be comprised of three Anthem Designees and two Cigna Designees and the remaining class of Anthem directors will be comprised of three Anthem Designees and one Cigna Designee. Prior to the mailing of the Joint Proxy Statement, Anthem will designate in writing the class to which each Anthem Designee is to be assigned and Cigna will designate in writing the class to which each Cigna Designee is to be assigned. The members of Anthem’s Board of Directors as of the Effective Time will serve as directors until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with Anthem’s articles of incorporation, Anthem’s bylaws and applicable law unless he or she earlier resigns, retires, is removed or is unable to serve.

(ii) Chairmanship. Joseph Swedish shall be the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Anthem and any executive committee of the Board of Directors of Anthem as of the Effective Time and, unless he earlier resigns, retires or is unable to serve, shall occupy such positions through the expiration of his then current term (as of the Effective Time) as a member of Anthem’s Board of Directors.

(iii) Lead Director. As of the Effective Time, the Anthem Board of Directors shall establish a role of Lead Director of the Anthem Board of Directors. The Anthem Designees shall designate a current member of the Anthem Board of Directors to serve as the Lead Director as of the Effective Time.

(b) Officers.

(ii) President and Chief Operating Officer. David Cordani shall be President and Chief Operating Officer of Anthem as of the Effective Time and shall occupy such position until he resigns, retires or is unable to serve or the Anthem Board of Directors removes him in accordance with Anthem’s bylaws.

Following the Effective Time, the corporate headquarters, principal executive offices and related corporate functions for the Surviving Entity (or, if the Second Merger does not occur, its ultimate parent) will be located in Indianapolis, Indiana and the corporate name of Anthem shall remain “ANTHEM, INC.”

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

2.1 Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Anthem shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Cigna Common Stock, (a) evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the Anthem Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.8 (or otherwise shall make shares of Anthem Common Stock available for such issuance) and (b) cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid in the Merger. Anthem shall make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, additional cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3. Any cash and any evidence of shares in book-entry form representing Anthem Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent (or shares of Anthem Common Stock otherwise made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.1) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Cigna Certificates. Promptly, but in any event within ten Business Days after the Effective Time, Anthem shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Cigna Certificate (a) a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Cigna Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Cigna Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in such customary form and have such other customary provisions as Anthem may specify subject to Cigna’s reasonable approval prior to the Effective Time and (b) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Cigna Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Cigna Certificate to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Cigna Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the number of shares of Anthem Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8 (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) and (ii) a check in the amount of the aggregate Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8 and for the cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the Cash Consideration or on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.5. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Cigna Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer

records of Cigna, the proper number of shares of Anthem Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) and a check in the amount of the aggregate Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8, along with the cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3, may be issued and paid with respect to such Cigna Common Stock to such a transferee if the Cigna Certificate representing such shares of Cigna Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

(b) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Cigna Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Cigna Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(b) shall, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of surrender as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Anthem shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable, (i) the number of shares of Anthem Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8 (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) and (ii) a check in the amount of the aggregate Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8 and for the cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the Cash Consideration or on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.5.

2.3 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares.

(a) Cigna Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Anthem Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Cigna Certificate with respect to the shares of Anthem Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Cigna Certificate, until such holder shall surrender such Cigna Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Cigna Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of shares of Anthem Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends and other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date prior to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Anthem Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends and other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Anthem Common Stock.

(b) Book-Entry Shares. Subject to applicable laws, there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Anthem Common Stock issued in exchange for Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest, (i) promptly upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of surrender as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), the amount of dividends and other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such receipt and a payment date prior to such receipt payable with respect to such shares of Anthem Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends and other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such receipt and a payment date subsequent to such receipt payable with respect to such shares of Anthem Common Stock.

2.4 No Further Ownership Rights in Cigna Common Stock. All shares of Anthem Common Stock issued and cash paid upon conversion of shares of Cigna Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Article I and this Article II (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.5) shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Cigna Common Stock. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Cigna Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration (and any cash to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.5), or the right to the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL pursuant to Section 1.9, as applicable.

2.5 No Fractional Shares of Anthem Common Stock. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Cigna Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.8, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any Anthem Common Stock or to vote or to any other rights of a holder of Anthem Common Stock. All fractional shares to which a single record holder of Cigna Common Stock would be otherwise entitled to receive shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Cigna Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, rounded up to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (a) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Anthem Common Stock to which such holder would, but for this Section 2.5, be entitled under Section 1.8 and (b) the Anthem Stock Value. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Cigna Common Stock in lieu of any fractional share interests in Anthem Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of Cigna Common Stock entitled to receive such cash subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 2.5 is not a separately bargained-for consideration.

2.6 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Cigna Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Anthem or otherwise on the instruction of Anthem and any holders of Cigna Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity and Anthem (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Cigna Common Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 1.8 and Section 2.2, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends and other distributions with respect to shares of Anthem Common Stock to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.7 No Liability. None of Anthem, Merger Sub, Cigna, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Cigna Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Entity free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.8 Investment of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Anthem on a daily basis; provided that no losses on such investments shall affect Anthem’s obligations to pay the Cash Consideration. Any interest and other

income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to Anthem, or as otherwise directed by Anthem.

2.9 Lost Certificates. If any Cigna Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Cigna Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Entity, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Entity may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Cigna Certificate, or other documentation (including an indemnity in customary form) reasonably requested by Anthem, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Cigna Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Cigna Common Stock formerly represented thereby, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock, and any dividends and other distributions on shares of Anthem Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement.

2.10 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Entity and Anthem shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Cigna Common Stock, Cigna Stock Options or Other Stock Awards such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Entity, Anthem, or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Cigna Common Stock, Cigna Stock Options or Other Stock Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.11 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Cigna or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Cigna or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

2.12 Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of Cigna shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Cigna Common Stock thereafter on the records of Cigna. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Cigna Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Cigna Common Stock formerly represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by law. On or after the Effective Time, any Cigna Certificate or Book-Entry Share presented to the Exchange Agent or Anthem for any reason shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Cigna Common Stock formerly represented thereby, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Anthem Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.3.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, if Anthem reasonably believes that (i) it is necessary to postpone or adjourn the Anthem Shareholders Meeting to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement is provided to the shareholders of Anthem within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Anthem Shareholders Meeting or (ii) (A) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Anthem Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (B) it will not have sufficient shares of Anthem Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Anthem Shareholders Meeting, then Anthem, after consultation with Cigna, may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Anthem Shareholders Meeting, as long as, in the case of any postponement or adjournment under clause (ii) of this sentence, the date of the Anthem Shareholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days. In the event that during the five Business Days prior to the date that the Anthem Shareholders Meeting is then scheduled to be held, Anthem delivers a notice of an intent to make a Change in Anthem Recommendation, Cigna may direct Anthem to postpone the Anthem Shareholders Meeting for up to six Business Days and Anthem shall promptly, and in any event no later than the next Business Day, postpone the Anthem Shareholders Meeting in accordance with Cigna’s direction, subject to Anthem’s right to postpone the Anthem Shareholders Meeting for a longer period pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, if Cigna reasonably believes that (i) it is necessary to postpone or adjourn the Cigna Stockholders Meeting to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement is provided to the stockholders of Cigna

within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Cigna Stockholders Meeting or (ii) (A) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Cigna Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (B) it will not have sufficient shares of Cigna Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Cigna Stockholders Meeting, then Cigna, after consultation with Anthem, may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Cigna Stockholders Meeting, as long as, in the case of any postponement or adjournment under clause (ii) of this sentence, the date of the Cigna Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days. In the event that during the five Business Days prior to the date that the Cigna Stockholders Meeting is then scheduled to be held, Cigna delivers a notice of an intent to make a Change in Cigna Recommendation, Anthem may direct Cigna to postpone the Cigna Stockholders Meeting for up to six Business Days and Cigna shall promptly, and in any event no later than the next Business Day, postpone the Cigna Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Anthem’s direction, subject to Cigna’s right to postpone the Cigna Stockholders Meeting for a longer period pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) During the term of this Agreement, Cigna shall not take any actions to exempt any Person other than Anthem and Merger Sub from the threshold restrictions on Cigna Common Stock ownership or any other antitakeover provision in Cigna’s certificate of incorporation, or make any state takeover statute (including any Delaware state takeover statute) or similar statute inapplicable to any Cigna Alternative Transaction.

(g) During the term of this Agreement, Anthem shall not take any actions to exempt any Person from the threshold restrictions on Anthem Common Stock ownership or any other antitakeover provision in Anthem’s articles of incorporation, or make any state takeover statute (including any Indiana state takeover statute) or similar statute inapplicable to any Anthem Alternative Transaction.

(h) Anthem and Cigna shall each use its reasonable best efforts to hold the Anthem Shareholders Meeting and the Cigna Stockholders Meeting as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement and as closely together in time as practicable and, to the extent possible, on the same date.

5.2 Access to Information. Upon reasonable notice, each of Anthem and Cigna shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to the other party hereto and its officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives of the other party reasonable access during normal business hours, during the period prior to the Effective Time, to such of its properties, books, contracts, commitments, records, officers, employees and consultants as the other party may reasonably request and, during such period, each of Anthem and Cigna shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other party, subject, in the case of competitively sensitive information, to any “clean-room” arrangements agreed between the parties (a) to the extent not publicly available, a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed, published, announced or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws as applicable (other than documents which such party is not permitted to disclose under applicable law), and (b) consistent with its legal obligations, all other information concerning it and its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request; provided, however, that either party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that, in such party’s reasonable judgment, (i) providing such access would violate such party’s (or any of its Subsidiary’s) obligations under the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business (provided that the withholding party shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), (ii) providing such access would result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the withholding party shall use reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or

disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege) or (iii) any law, treaty, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to such party or its Subsidiaries requires such party or its Subsidiaries to restrict access to such properties or information. Each party hereto will hold any such information that is non-public in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Amended and Restated Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2014, between Anthem and Cigna (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Any investigation by Anthem or Cigna shall not affect the representations and warranties of Cigna or Anthem, respectively.

5.3 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.3(c)), each party will use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (including Section 5.3(c)), each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth herein and to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.3(c), the reasonable best efforts of Anthem and Cigna shall include Anthem and its Affiliates and Cigna and its Affiliates taking any and all actions necessary to avoid each and every impediment under the HSR Act, any Healthcare Law, antitrust law, insurance law or other applicable law that may be asserted by or on behalf of any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby or that arises under or relates to any contracts between either Cigna or Anthem and any Governmental Entity, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, including any of the following actions requested by or on behalf of any Governmental Entity, or necessary or appropriate to (I) obtain all Necessary Consents; (II) resolve any objections that may be asserted by or on behalf of any Governmental Entity with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (III) prevent the entry of, and have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any order that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby:

(i) comply with all restrictions and conditions, if any, imposed, compelled, required or requested by any Governmental Entity in connection with granting any Necessary Consent of any such Governmental Entity or in connection with the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any other antitrust laws or any clearance under any Healthcare Laws, insurance laws or other applicable laws including: (I) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, disposition, license or other disposition of any Subsidiaries, operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, contracts, customers or assets of Anthem or any of its Affiliates (including Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries), (II) taking or committing to take such other actions that may limit or impact Anthem’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ (including Cigna’s or any of its Subsidiaries’) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of Anthem’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ (including Cigna’s or any of its Subsidiaries’) operations, divisions, businesses, products lines, contracts, customers or assets and (III) entering into any orders, settlements, undertakings, contracts, consent decrees,

stipulations or other agreements to effectuate any of the foregoing or in order to vacate, lift, reverse, overturn, settle or otherwise resolve any order that prevents, prohibits, restricts or delays the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, in any case, that may be issued by any court or other Governmental Entity;

(ii) agree to (I) enter into, suspend, amend or terminate any contract or other business relationship of Anthem or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including any contract with any Governmental Entity) and (II) any additional obligations relating to any contract imposed by any Governmental Entity, in each case in connection with granting any Necessary Consent of any such Governmental Entity or in connection with the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any other antitrust laws or any clearance under any Healthcare Laws, insurance laws or other applicable laws; and

(iii) oppose fully and vigorously (I) any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that is initiated (or threatened to be initiated) challenging this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby and (II) any request for, or the entry of, and seek to have vacated or terminated, any order that could restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, in the case of either clause (I) or clause (II) by defending through litigation, any action asserted by any Person in any court or before any Governmental Entity, and vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or in any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Anthem to agree to any terms or conditions that would (i) impose any limitations on Anthem’s ownership or operation of all or any portion of its or Cigna’s, or any of their respective Subsidiaries’, businesses or assets, or compel Anthem or any of its Subsidiaries to dispose of or hold separate all or any portion of its or Cigna’s, or any of their respective Subsidiaries’, businesses or assets, (ii) impose any limitations on the ability of Anthem to acquire or hold or to exercise full rights of ownership of Cigna Common Stock, (iii) impose any obligations on Anthem or any of its Subsidiaries or Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of or relating to Anthem’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Cigna’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ facilities, operations, places of business, employment levels, products or businesses, (iv) require Anthem or any of its Subsidiaries or Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries to make any payments or (v) impose any other obligation, restriction, requirement, limitation, qualification, condition, remedy or other action, which, in the case of any such term or condition described in clauses (i) through (v) above, would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate with all other such terms and conditions, a material adverse effect on Anthem, Cigna and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Mergers, including the synergies expected to be realized from the Mergers (a “Burdensome Term or Condition”) (it being agreed that, for purposes of determining whether any such term or condition would be a Burdensome Term or Condition, impacts on the synergies expected to be realized from the Mergers that are publicly disclosed by either Anthem or Cigna in accordance with this Agreement shall be taken into account).

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but, in any event, no more than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of this Agreement) and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties agree that each party shall as promptly as practicable make such filings with Governmental Entities as are required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby on its respective behalf. Anthem and Cigna agree that Anthem (in consultation with Cigna) shall make and control the “Form A” filings and, to the extent practicable, the other regulatory filings required to be made with the domiciliary insurance or managed health care regulator of each Subsidiary of Cigna that is an insurance company or health maintenance organization (or similar entity). Subject to applicable law, Anthem and Cigna shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide each other with copies of any written comments and advise the other party of any oral comments with respect to the “Form A” filings or other regulatory filings from each applicable Governmental Entity, and prior to submitting any filing, substantive written communication, correspondence or other information or response by such party or any or its representatives, on the one hand, to any Governmental Entity, or members of the staff of any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, subject to Section 5.2, the submitting party shall permit the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the comments of the other party provided in a timely manner, in connection with any such filing, communication, correspondence, information or response. Anthem, in consultation with Cigna, shall take the lead in coordinating communications with any Governmental Entity and developing strategy for responding to any investigation or other inquiry by any Governmental Entity related to any of the Necessary Consents. Subject to Section 5.2 and the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Anthem and Cigna shall coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. To the extent practicable under the circumstances, none of the parties hereto shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity, or any member of the staff of any Governmental Entity, in respect of any filing, proceeding, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation, or other inquiry related to the Mergers unless it consults with the other party in advance and, where permitted, allows the other party to participate. Neither party shall be required to comply with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(e) to the extent that such compliance would be prohibited by applicable law. The parties further covenant and agree not to voluntarily extend any waiting period associated with any Necessary Consent or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

(f) Neither Cigna nor Anthem shall, and each of them shall cause its Affiliates not to directly or indirectly, enter into, amend or terminate any contract, or acquire, purchase, lease or license (or agree to acquire, purchase, lease or license), by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division or part thereof, or any securities or collection of assets, if doing so would or would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Necessary Consent or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) prohibit or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall (i) Anthem or any Anthem Subsidiary, on the one hand, or Cigna or any Cigna Subsidiary, on the other hand, be required to agree to take any action that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger or (ii) Cigna or any Cigna Subsidiary agree to any term, condition, obligation, restriction, requirement, limitation, qualification, remedy or other action in

connection with the obtaining of any Necessary Consent without the prior written consent of Anthem (which consent shall not be withheld, delayed or conditioned if doing so would be inconsistent with Anthem’s obligations under this Section 5.3).

5.4 No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) (i) Cigna agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate, or furnish or disclose non-public information in furtherance of, any inquiries that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or the making of any proposal or offer to implement, any Cigna Alternative Transaction, or negotiate or otherwise engage in discussions with any Person (other than Anthem, Merger Sub, or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) with respect to any Cigna Alternative Transaction, or approve, recommend or authorize any Cigna Alternative Transaction, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Cigna Alternative Transaction or requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Mergers or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, at any time prior to receipt of the Required Cigna Vote (and in no event after receipt of the Required Cigna Vote), Cigna may furnish information to, and negotiate or otherwise engage in discussions with, any party who delivers a bona fide written proposal for a Cigna Alternative Transaction that was not solicited after the date of this Agreement, if and so long as the Board of Directors of Cigna determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that providing such information or engaging in such negotiations or discussions is reasonably likely to be required in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under Delaware law and determines in good faith that such a proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Cigna Superior Proposal.

(ii) Cigna shall notify Anthem promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) of such inquiries, proposals or offers received by, or any such discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, any of its representatives, indicating the name of such Person and providing to Anthem a summary of the material terms of such proposal or offer for a Cigna Alternative Transaction. Prior to providing any information or data to, or entering into any negotiations or discussions with, any Person in connection with a proposal or offer for a Cigna Alternative Transaction, Cigna shall receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms and provisions at least as restrictive as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (which shall not preclude discussions or negotiations relating to the proposal or offer from such Person and which shall not contain any exclusivity provision or other term that would restrict, in any manner, Cigna’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Cigna agrees that it will keep Anthem informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms of any such proposals or offers and the current basis of the status and details (including any material developments) in respect of any such discussions or negotiations and that it will deliver to Anthem a summary of any material changes to any such proposals or offers and all nonpublic information being furnished to such Person.

(iii) Cigna agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Third Parties conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Cigna Alternative Transaction (and promptly terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Third Party) and will not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by

obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court having jurisdiction.

(b) (i) Anthem agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate, or furnish or disclose non-public information in furtherance of, any inquiries that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or the making of any proposal or offer to implement, any Anthem Alternative Transaction, or negotiate or otherwise engage in discussions with any Person (other than Cigna, Merger Sub, or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) with respect to any Anthem Alternative Transaction, or approve, recommend or authorize any Anthem Alternative Transaction, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Anthem Alternative Transaction or requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Mergers or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, at any time prior to receipt of the Required Anthem Vote (and in no event after receipt of the Required Anthem Vote), Anthem may furnish information to, and negotiate or otherwise engage in discussions with, any party who delivers a bona fide written proposal for an Anthem Alternative Transaction that was not solicited after the date of this Agreement, if and so long as the Board of Directors of Anthem determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that providing such information or engaging in such negotiations or discussions is reasonably likely to be required in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under Indiana law and determines in good faith that such a proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Anthem Superior Proposal.

(ii) Anthem shall notify Cigna promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) of such inquiries, proposals or offers received by, or any such discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, any of its representatives, indicating the name of such Person and providing to Cigna a summary of the material terms of such proposal or offer for an Anthem Alternative Transaction. Prior to providing any information or data to, or entering into any negotiations or discussions with, any Person in connection with a proposal or offer for an Anthem Alternative Transaction, Anthem shall receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms and provisions at least as restrictive as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (which shall not preclude discussions or negotiations relating to the proposal or offer from such Person and which shall not contain any exclusivity provision or other term that would restrict, in any manner, Anthem’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Anthem agrees that it will keep Cigna informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms of any such proposals or offers and the current basis of the status and details (including any material developments) in respect of any such discussions or negotiations and that it will deliver to Cigna a summary of any material changes to any such proposals or offers and all nonpublic information being furnished to such Person.

(iii) Anthem agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Third Parties conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Anthem Alternative Transaction (and promptly terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Third Party) and will not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court having jurisdiction.

5.5 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Continuation of Benefits. From the Effective Time until December 31st of the year following the year in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Continuation Period”), the Surviving Entity shall provide compensation and benefits (excluding equity-based compensation) to each current and former employee of Cigna and its Subsidiaries (other than those current and former employees whose terms and conditions of employment are subject to a collective bargaining, works council or similar agreement and shall be provided in accordance with such collective bargaining, works council or similar agreement) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such current or former employee of Cigna and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time; provided that each such employee’s annual base salary (or wage rate) and severance benefits shall be no less favorable than those provided to such employee as of the Effective Time and each such employee shall be eligible to receive equity-based compensation from Anthem on a basis that is comparable to similarly situated employees of Anthem and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries). Cigna agrees to take, or cause to be taken, the actions described on Section 5.5(a) of the Cigna Disclosure Letter.

(b) Pre-Existing Limitations; Service Credit. With respect to any Benefit Plans in which any employees of Cigna or its Subsidiaries first become eligible to participate, on or after the Effective Time (the “New Cigna Plans”), Anthem shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (A) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to employees of Cigna or its Subsidiaries under any health and welfare New Cigna Plans in which such employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, and deductibles, coinsurance or maximum out-of-pocket payments made by such employees during the applicable plan year in which such employee first participates in the applicable New Cigna Plan shall reduce the amount of deductibles, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket payments under the New Cigna Plans; provided that, for purposes of deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket payments, such employee was enrolled under the Benefit Plans of Cigna immediately prior to the effective time of coverage in the New Cigna Plans, and (B) recognize service of present or former employees of Cigna or its Subsidiaries (or otherwise credited by Cigna or its Subsidiaries) accrued prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting credit (and levels of benefits, but not for benefit accrual purposes) in any New Cigna Plan in which such employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to the extent such service would have been taken into account under the applicable Cigna Benefit Plans; provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(c) Unless the Board of Directors of Cigna has effected a Cigna Change in Recommendation, prior to making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Cigna shall provide Anthem with a copy of the intended communication, (ii) Anthem shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and (iii) Anthem and Cigna shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.

(d) Anthem hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a “change in control” or “change of control” for purposes of any Cigna Plan that contains a definition of “change in control” or “change of control” or similar term, as applicable. From and after the Effective Time, Anthem and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) shall honor all Cigna Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (it being understood that this Section 5.5 shall not be deemed to prohibit Anthem, Cigna or any of their Subsidiaries from amending, modifying, replacing or terminating such plans in accordance with their terms).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Cigna Plan, (ii) prevent Anthem from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans or, after the Effective Time, any Cigna Plan in accordance their terms, (iii) prevent Anthem, after the Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any Cigna employee, or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining, works council or similar representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any employee by Anthem or Cigna or under any benefit plan which Anthem or Cigna may maintain.

5.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For six years after the Effective Time Anthem shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, (i) indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors, officers and employees of Cigna and its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Persons”) for any costs and expenses, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was an officer, director or employee of Cigna or its Subsidiaries in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including those related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), and shall advance expenses in respect thereof (provided, that an Indemnified Person shall repay Anthem or the Surviving Entity for any expenses incurred by Anthem or the Surviving Entity in connection with the indemnification of such Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 5.6 if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that such Indemnified Person did not meet the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by Anthem or the Surviving Entity as set forth in Cigna’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date hereof (or the corresponding organizational documents of any Subsidiary of Cigna, as applicable)), in each case to the same extent such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date hereof by Cigna pursuant to Cigna’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date hereof (or the corresponding organizational documents of any Subsidiary of Cigna, as applicable) and (ii) purchase as of the Effective Time a “tail” policy to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Cigna, which tail policy shall be reasonably acceptable to Cigna and shall be effective for a period from the Effective Time through and including the date six years after the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, and which tail policy shall contain substantially the same coverage and amounts as, and contain substantially the same terms and conditions as, the coverage currently provided by such current policy; provided, however, that in no event shall Anthem be required to expend, for the entire tail policy, in excess of 450% of the annual premium currently paid by Cigna for its current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as set forth on Section 5.6(a) of the Cigna Disclosure Letter (the “Maximum Amount”); and, provided, further that, if the premium of such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, Anthem, after consultation with Cigna, shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount.

(b) Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 5.6 shall, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, promptly notify Anthem and the Surviving Entity thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Surviving Entity of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Person if such failure does not materially prejudice the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Anthem or the Surviving Entity shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and neither Anthem nor the Surviving Entity shall be liable to such Indemnified Person for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expense subsequently incurred

by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Anthem or the Surviving Entity elects not to assume such defense or counsel or the Indemnified Person advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between Anthem or the Surviving Entity (on the one hand) and the Indemnified Person (on the other hand), the Indemnified Person may retain counsel satisfactory to it, and Anthem shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Person promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, the Surviving Entity shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons in any jurisdiction, (ii) the Indemnified Persons will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) neither Anthem nor the Surviving Entity shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided, further, that neither Anthem nor the Surviving Entity shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.14(a), Anthem shall have the right from time to time to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letter, or enter into other financing arrangements as an alternative to the Financing; provided that Anthem shall not enter into any such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or alternative if such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or alternative imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other provision of the Commitment Letter, in a manner that would (i) materially and adversely affect the ability of Anthem to fund its obligations when due under this Agreement or (ii) materially and adversely affect the ability of Anthem to enforce its rights under the terms of the

Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto; provided, further, that Anthem may amend the Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto to add additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, and agents or in a manner that would not materially adversely affect the ability of Anthem to fund its obligations when due under this Agreement.

(c) Anthem and Cigna shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in the Commitment Letter or in any definitive agreement related to the Financing.

(d) Each of Anthem and Cigna shall give the other party prompt written notice (i) of any actual or threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or definitive documents related to the Financing of which such party becomes aware and (ii) of the occurrence of an event or development that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter.

(e) If Anthem or Cigna becomes aware that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter, each of Anthem and Cigna shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Mergers as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided, however, that such replacement commitment shall not, without the prior written consent of each of Anthem and Cigna (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be subject to any additional or modified conditions or other contingencies to the funding of the Financing than those contained in the Commitment Letter that would be reasonably expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the Mergers.

(f) Each of Anthem and Cigna shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to, and to cause their respective representatives to, on a timely basis, provide all reasonable cooperation requested by other party or the Financing Parties that is reasonably necessary and customary to assist in connection with obtaining the Financing if such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Anthem or Cigna, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such cooperation shall in any event include using reasonable best efforts with respect to: (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings and drafting sessions, and participating in reasonable and customary due diligence, (ii) furnishing the Financing Parties with such financial and other pertinent information as may be reasonably requested to consummate the Financing, including all financial statements and financial data of the type required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and applicable to a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3, including delivery of (A) audited consolidated balance sheets and related audited statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Cigna for each of the three fiscal years most recently ended at least 90 days prior to the Closing Date and (B) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related unaudited statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Cigna for each subsequent fiscal quarter ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date, (iii) assisting the Financing Parties in the preparation of (I) an offering document for any portion of the Financing and (II) materials for rating agency presentations and providing customary authorization letters related thereto, (iv) obtaining customary financing accountants’ comfort letters and consents of accountants from Cigna’s independent public accounting firm for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Financing and in connection with any filings required to be made by Anthem pursuant to the Securities Act (including any registration statement) relating to the Financing and (v) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts for any portion of the Financing. For purposes of clauses (f) and (g) of this Section 5.14 only, “Financing” shall include the financings

expressly contemplated pursuant to the Commitment Letter, including any issuance(s) of Takeout Securities and Term Facilities (as both terms are defined in the Commitment Letter).

(g) Anthem shall indemnify and hold harmless Cigna, its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith. Nothing in this Section 5.14 shall require (i) cooperation from Cigna or any Cigna Subsidiary to the extent it would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operation of Cigna and its Subsidiaries, (ii) Cigna or any Cigna Subsidiary to commit to any liability or obligation that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Mergers and (iii) any materials for rating agency presentations, offering and syndication documents (including prospectuses, private placement memoranda and lender and investor presentations) and similar marketing documents required in connection to the Financing to be issued in the name of Cigna or any of its Subsidiaries.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Anthem expressly acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of Anthem and Merger Sub hereunder are not conditioned in any manner upon Anthem or Merger Sub obtaining any financing. The failure, for any reason, other than as a result of any material breach of this Agreement by Cigna, of Anthem or Merger Sub to have sufficient cash available on the date that the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.2 or the failure to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration on the date that the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.2 shall constitute a Willful Breach of this Agreement by Anthem and Merger Sub.

(i) None of the Financing Parties shall have any liability to Cigna or any Person that is an Affiliate of Cigna prior to giving effect to the Merger relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Financing, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and neither Cigna nor any Person that is an Affiliate of Cigna prior to giving effect to the Merger shall have any rights or claims directly against any of the Financing Parties hereunder or thereunder.

5.15 Indentures. Cigna shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely provide or cause to be provided, in accordance with the provisions of each indenture relating to Cigna’s 5.375% Notes due 2017, 6.35% Notes due 2018, 4.375% Notes due 2020, 5.125% Notes due 2020, 6.37% Notes due 2021, 4.5% Notes due 2021, 4% Notes due 2022, 7.65% Notes due 2023, 8.3% Notes due 2023, 3.25% Notes due 2025, 7.875% Debentures due 2027, 8.3% Step Down Notes due 2033, 6.15% Notes due 2036, 5.875% Notes due 2041 and 5.375% Notes due 2042 (the “Indentures”), to the trustee under any such Indenture, any notices, announcements, certificates or legal opinions required by any such Indenture to be provided in connection with the Mergers prior to the Effective Time.

then, (x) in the case of a termination contemplated by Section 7.3(b)(i), Anthem shall pay to Cigna within two Business Days following termination of this Agreement, a fee, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by Cigna, in the amount of $1,850,000,000 (the “Anthem Termination Fee”), (y) in the case of termination contemplated by Section 7.3(b)(iv), Anthem shall pay to Cigna the Anthem Termination Fee on the date of termination of this Agreement and (z) in the case of a termination contemplated by Section 7.3(b)(ii) or Section 7.3(b)(iii), if Anthem, within 12 months after such termination either consummates an Anthem Alternative Transaction or enters into a definitive agreement to implement an Anthem Alternative Transaction, Anthem shall pay to Cigna the Anthem Termination Fee simultaneously with such consummation or entering into such definitive agreement, as the case may be. For purposes of clause (z) of this Section 7.3(b), each reference to “15%” in the definition of “Anthem Alternative Transaction” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.”

The Cigna Expense Fee due under this Section 7.3(c) shall be paid on the second Business Day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by either Anthem or Cigna (i) pursuant to Section 7.1(g), but only if the applicable Legal Restraint constitutes a Regulatory Restraint, or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.1(b) and, in the case of this clause (ii), at the time of such termination, all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied (other than (x) Section 6.1(a) (but only if the applicable Legal Restraint constitutes a Regulatory Restraint) or Section 6.1(b) and (y) conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but that are capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the date of such termination), then Anthem shall pay to Cigna a fee, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by Cigna, in the amount of $1,850,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”); provided, however, that no Reverse Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) in the event that (A) the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) (but only if the applicable Legal Restraint constitutes a Regulatory Restraint) or Section 6.1(b) to be satisfied is caused by Cigna’s Willful Breach of Section 5.3 or (B) Anthem has

waived the condition set forth in Section 6.1(b) and Cigna refuses to effect the Merger on the basis that the condition set forth in clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 6.1(b) has not been satisfied. The Reverse Termination Fee due under this Section 7.3(e) shall be paid on the second Business Day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Cigna receives the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) and Anthem has not Willfully Breached any of its obligations under this Agreement, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Cigna against Anthem and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future partners, stockholders, managers, members, Affiliates and representatives and none of Anthem, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future partners, stockholders, managers, members, Affiliates or representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and if Cigna receives any payments from Anthem or Merger Sub in respect of any breach of this Agreement and thereafter Cigna receives the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.3(e), the amount of such Reverse Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such payments made by Anthem or Merger Sub in respect of any such breaches.

(f) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party shall bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that each of Anthem and Cigna shall bear and pay one-half of the costs and expenses (other than the fees and expenses of each party’s attorneys and accountants, which shall be borne by the party incurring such fees and expenses) incurred in connection with (i) the filing, printing and mailing of the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement and (ii) the preparation and filing of any materials in connection with the HSR Act.

(g) Each of Anthem and Cigna acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.3 do not constitute a penalty. If Cigna or Anthem fails to pay to Anthem or Cigna, as applicable, any amounts due under Section 7.3(a), Section 7.3(b), Section 7.3(c), Section 7.3(d) or Section 7.3(e) in accordance with the terms hereof, Cigna or Anthem shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of Anthem or Cigna, as applicable, in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal action, taken to collect payment.

(h) Any amounts not paid when due pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall bear interest from the date such payment is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment. In no event shall either party be obligated to pay more than one Cigna Termination Fee, Anthem Termination Fee or Reverse Termination Fee, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 7.3.

8.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of Cigna and approval of the Share Issuance by the shareholders of Anthem, but, after any such adoption or approval, no amendment shall be made which by law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by such stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, without such further approval.
