Principal Amount $[●]

CIGNA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”), which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [●] Dollars ($[●]) upon presentation and surrender of this Security on January 15, 2033 and to pay interest thereon accruing from [•], or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on [•], and on the Maturity of this Security, (each an “Interest Payment Date”) at the rate of 8.30% per annum until, but not including, January 15, 2023, and 8.08% on and from January 15, 2023, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable on this Security on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full monthly period shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of calendar days elapsed in such a period. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date, which shall be the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date on which interest is scheduled to be paid, regardless of whether such date is a Business Day (provided that if this Security is held by a securities depositary in book-entry form, the Regular Record Date for this Security will be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which interest is scheduled to be paid; provided, further, that interest payable at the relevant Maturity will be payable to the Persons to whom the principal of this Security is payable). If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
 
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or the Paying Agent’s office maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $45,354,000, subject to future issuances of additional Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture.
 
At any time prior to January 15, 2033, the Company may redeem Securities of this series, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding interest accrued to the Redemption Date) on the Securities of this series to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to January 15, 2033, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to but excluding the Redemption Date.
 
Notice of redemption shall be mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository at least fifteen (15) but not more than sixty (60) days before the Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. If less than all of the Notes then Outstanding of any series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the particular Notes or portions thereof in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Base Indenture.

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for any Securities of this series, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Company.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, or the right of the Holder of this Security, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, or, in the case of the Holder of this Security, to receive payment of, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
