5.5 Expiration of Options.

(a)		Except as provided elsewhere in Section 5.5, any outstanding Option held by a Participant at Termination of Employment shall expire on the date of Termination of Employment.
(b)		Any outstanding Option held by a Participant at Termination Upon a Change of Control shall:

(d)		Take any other action that could constitute a repricing.

5.7 Incentive Stock Options. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any Options granted under the Plan that are identified as Incentive Stock Options.

(a)		Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Employees who are employed by CIGNA Corporation or a corporation that is either a direct Subsidiary or an indirect Subsidiary through an unbroken chain of corporations.

To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which the Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000 (taking into account both Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and stock subject to Incentive Stock Options under all other Company plans, if any), such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Options. For this purpose the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to Options shall be determined as of the date the Options were awarded. In reducing the number of options treated as Incentive Stock Options to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted Options shall be reduced first. To the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted Options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Committee may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate which shares of Common Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

(e)

Any grant of Incentive Stock Options shall include whatever terms and conditions are required to meet the requirements of Code Section 422.

Total number of shares subject to the SAR that the Participant designates for SAR exercise, up to the maximum number available for exercise as of the SAR exercise date;

(b)		Excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the SAR exercise date over (2) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date of the SAR; and

Any fractional share of Common Stock resulting from this calculation shall be ignored.

The Committee may provide that, instead of issuing shares upon the SAR exercise, the Company shall pay cash equal to the Fair Market Value, on the SAR exercise date, of some or all the shares that would otherwise be issued upon the SAR exercise.

Upon exercise of an SAR, the number of shares that the Participant designates for exercise will be subtracted from the number of shares available under the SAR immediately before the SAR exercise to determine the remaining number of shares, if any, that the Participant may designate for any future exercise of the SAR.

6.4 Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee, no SAR may be exercised during a leave of absence except to the extent exercisable immediately before the start of the leave.

ARTICLE 7
Restricted Stock Grants

7.1 General. Subject to any limitations and provisions in the Plan, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Employees upon terms and conditions it may establish. The consideration for a Restricted Stock grant may be solely in the form of the recipient’s services rendered to the Company, or it may be any other lawful form of consideration the Committee may determine.

7.2 Restricted Period. Except as provided below, Restricted Stock shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Participant during the Restricted Period established by the Committee. The Committee may establish different Restricted Periods and different restriction terms for shares contained in a single Restricted Stock grant. No more than 5% of the Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall have a Restricted Period less than three years.

7.3 Performance Conditions. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock that is subject to performance conditions, as follows:

(a)

Restricted Stock may automatically be forfeited to the Company at the end of the Restricted Period unless, and to the extent that, the Company meets specified Performance Objectives; or

(b)

The Restricted Period applicable to Restricted Stock may end earlier if, and to the extent that, the Company meets specified Performance Objectives, but no earlier than one year after the date of grant.

If the Committee grants Restricted Stock subject to performance conditions, at the time of grant the Committee shall establish in writing the applicable Performance Measures, Performance Objectives, vesting schedule and, if the Performance Objectives require comparing the Company’s financial results to those of a Peer Group, the composition of the Peer Group. To the extent required by Code Section 162(m), before the vesting of any Restricted Stock subject to performance conditions, the Committee shall certify in writing that the Performance Objectives established at time of grant have been met. The Committee may establish different performance conditions for shares contained in a single Restricted Stock grant. No Eligible Employee may receive more than 450,000 shares of Restricted Stock with performance conditions during any calendar year. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or other subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, effective as the date of such dividend, split, subdivision or combination, the maximum number of shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded in any calendar year shall be adjusted proportionately in accordance with Section 12.1.

7.4 Issuance; Voting Rights; Dividends. Restricted Stock granted to a Participant shall be issued by the Company as of the date of the grant. During the Restricted Period, the Participant shall be entitled to vote the shares. The Committee may provide for the current or deferred payment, as described below, of dividends on shares of Restricted Stock to the holders of such shares. Unless the Committee (or CEO) provides in the applicable Restricted Stock grant document at the time of grant that dividend payments are to be deferred, such payments will be made at least annually in each year that the Restricted Stock is outstanding in an amount equal to the number of shares of outstanding Restricted Stock multiplied by the amount of any dividend declared and paid on one share of Common Stock in that year, to the extent the Restricted Stock is outstanding on each such dividend record date. Restricted Stock shall be considered outstanding for this purpose until the earlier of the lapse of the applicable Restricted Period or the date the Restricted Stock is forfeited under the terms of the Plan. If the Committee (or CEO) provides that dividend payments are to be deferred, the Committee (or CEO) shall specify in the grant document the time and form of payment of the deferred dividends in a manner that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. Shares issued as a result of stock dividends, splits or reclassifications, to the extent the issued shares relate to Restricted Stock, shall be subject to the same limitations, restrictions and provisions that are applicable to the related Restricted Stock.

7.5 Termination of Employment.

(a)

Except as provided below, Restricted Stock (and all related rights) held by a Participant at Termination of Employment during a Restricted Period shall be forfeited to the Company immediately upon Termination of Employment (unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee).

(b)

If a Participant’s Termination of Employment during a Restricted Period is due to Early Retirement or Retirement, the Committee or its designee (in the sole discretion of either) may provide before the Participant’s Termination of Employment that the Restricted Period applicable to any Restricted Stock (other than Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 7.3(a)) held by the Participant shall lapse immediately upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

(c)

If a Participant’s Termination of Employment during a Restricted Period is a Termination Upon a Change of Control or is due to death or Disability, the Restricted Period applicable to any Restricted Stock held by the Participant shall lapse immediately on date of Termination of Employment.

8.2 Rights and Options, SARs, Performance Shares or Units. No dividend equivalent rights may be granted with respect to any Option, SAR, Strategic Performance Share or Strategic Performance Unit granted under the Plan.

8.3 Nature of Rights. The right shall entitle a holder to receive, for a period of time determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable grant document at the time of grant of such right, a payment or payments, as described in Section 8.4.

8.4 Payments. The Committee shall determine at time of grant whether payment pursuant to a right shall be made in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of both.

If the Committee (or CEO) provides that the payments are to be deferred, the Committee (or CEO) shall specify in the grant document the time and form of payment in a manner that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

8.5 Termination of Employment. Any dividend equivalent right held by a Participant at Termination of Employment for any reason shall be forfeited to the Company immediately upon Termination of Employment, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee.

ARTICLE 9
Common Stock in Place of Other Awards

9.1 General. The Committee may grant an Eligible Employee Common Stock instead of all or a portion (determined by the Committee) of an award otherwise payable under a Qualifying Plan. The grant shall be for a number of shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Payment Date, that most closely approximates, but does not exceed, the dollar amount of the award being replaced by the Common Stock if made in cash.

9.2 Death; Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, provides otherwise, a Common Stock grant approved under Section 9.1 for a Participant whose Termination of Employment occurs before the Payment Date shall still be granted. If the reason for Termination of Employment is the Participant’s death, however, the Common Stock grant shall automatically be canceled, and the award payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Qualifying Plan.

9.3 Deferral of Payments. A Common Stock grant approved under Section 9.1 shall be deferred if the Participant had made a timely election to defer the underlying award under a Deferred Compensation Plan, subject to the provisions of the Deferred Compensation Plan and Code Section 409A, if applicable. Common Stock that would have been issued but for deferral under this provision shall be issued under this Plan at the end of the deferral period.

ARTICLE 10
Strategic Performance Units; Strategic Performance Shares

10.1 Award of Units and Shares.

(a)

The Committee may in its sole discretion grant Strategic Performance Shares, Strategic Performance Units or both to Eligible Employees selected for participation for a Performance Period.

(b)

The Committee, the CEO or the CEO’s designee may grant Strategic Performance Shares (subject to the requirements of Delaware law), Strategic Performance Units, or both to a person who becomes an Eligible Employee during a Performance Period as long as any such grant made by the CEO or the CEO’s designee is (1) in accordance with guidelines approved by the Committee or (2) subject to ratification by the Committee before any resulting Payment is made.

(c)

During any calendar year an Eligible Employee may receive no more than 500,000 Performance Shares or 250,000 Units. When an Eligible Employee receives a combination of Performance Shares and Units, each Unit awarded shall reduce the maximum number of awardable Performance Shares by two and every two Performance Shares awarded shall reduce the maximum number of awardable Units by one. That is, the Performance Shares-to-Units parity ratio shall be 2 to 1. For example, if an Eligible Employee is awarded 50,000 Units in a calendar year, the maximum number of awardable Performance Shares the Eligible Employee could receive for that year is 400,000.

(d)

In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or other subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, effective as the date of such dividend, split, subdivision or combination, the maximum number of Performance Shares that may be awarded in any calendar year, and the Performance Shares-to-Units parity ratio described in Section 10.1(c), shall be adjusted proportionately in accordance with Section 12.1.

10.2 Performance Goals; Financial Measures. When the Committee grants Performance Shares or Units for a particular Performance Period, it shall:

(a)

Establish in writing the Performance Objectives and the Performance Measures applicable to the Performance Period;

(b)

Determine the length of the Performance Period and, if the Performance Objectives require comparing the Company’s financial results to those of a Peer Group, the composition of the Peer Group; and

(c)

Determine the formula or method for determining the Vesting Percentage for Performance Shares and the value of Units.

10.3 Vesting Percentage; Value of Units. After the close of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the preliminary Vesting Percentage and/or Unit value based on the applicable formula or method under Section 10.2(c). The preliminary Vesting Percentage and/or Unit value may be adjusted downward by the Committee based upon the Committee’s evaluation of CIGNA Corporation’s strategic accomplishments over the Performance Period. The final Vesting Percentage shall not exceed 200%, and the final Unit value shall not exceed $200.00. To the extent required by Code Section 162(m), before Payment of any Performance Share or Unit, the Committee shall certify in writing that the Vesting Percentage or Unit value for the Performance Period is based on the attainment of the pre-established Performance Objectives for the Performance Period.

10.4 Performance Share or Unit Payment.

(a)

After the Committee has determined the Vesting Percentage or Unit value for a Performance Period and subject to Sections 10.5 and 10.6, the Company shall make Payments to Participants to whom Performance Shares or Units were granted for the Performance Period.

(b)

Payment to a Participant for a grant of Performance Shares shall equal (1) the number of Performance Shares granted to the Participant multiplied by (2) the Vesting Percentage determined under Section 10.3. This product shall be multiplied by the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date the Committee determines the Vesting Percentage, to the extent the Committee provides for payment of Performance Shares in cash.

(c)

Payment to a Participant for a grant of Units shall equal the number of Units granted to the Participant multiplied by the Unit value determined under Section 10.3.

(d)

Notwithstanding the above, the Committee in its sole discretion may reduce the amount of any Payment to any Participant or eliminate entirely the Payment to any Participant. The Committee’s authority under this Section 10.4(d) shall expire immediately upon a Change of Control.

10.5 Eligibility for Payments.

(a)

Except as described in Section 10.5(b), (c) and (d), a Participant shall be eligible to receive a Payment for a Performance Period under Section 10.4 only if the Participant has been employed by the Company continuously from the date of Participant’s grant of Performance Shares and/or Units through the date of Payment.

(b)

For the purposes of this Section 10.5, a leave of absence of less than three months’ duration with the approval of the Company is not considered to be a break in continuous employment. In the case of a leave of absence of three months or longer, the Committee shall determine whether or not the leave of absence constitutes a break in continuous employment for purposes of a Payment.

(c)

If the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of Early Retirement, Retirement, death or Disability after receipt of a Performance Share or Unit grant, but before the related Payment is made, the Committee or its designee shall determine whether a Payment under Section 10.4 shall be made to or on behalf of such Participant, and whether the Payment, if made, shall be in full or prorated based on factors determined in the sole discretion of the Committee or its designee. Any such Payment shall be made to the Participant or the Participant’s estate in accordance with Section 10.6.

(d)

In the event of a Participant’s Termination Upon a Change of Control, all of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Share and Units as of the date of the Participant’s Termination Upon a Change of Control shall be paid in accordance with Section 10.6.

(e)

In the case of Units described in Section 10.5(d), the value of each Unit shall be the greatest of:

(1)

The Unit target value;

(2)

The highest value established by the Committee for any Unit Payments made to any Participants during the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of Participant’s Termination Upon a Change of Control; or

(3)

The average of the highest values established by the Committee for the last two Unit Payments made to any Participants before the Participant’s Termination Upon a Change of Control.

(f)

In the case of Performance Shares described in Section 10.5(d), the applicable Vesting Percentage shall be the greatest of:

(1)

100%;

(2)

The Vesting Percentage for the Performance Period that ended immediately before the Participant’s Termination Upon a Change of Control; or

(3)

The average of the Vesting Percentages established by the Committee for the last two Performance Periods that ended before the Participant’s Termination Upon a Change of Control.

10.6 Time and Form of Payment.

(a)

Unless otherwise provided at the time of award, Payments shall be made in the year following the close of the Performance Period. Payments shall be made in a single lump sum in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of these forms of Payment, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(b)

If a Payment is made wholly or partially in shares of Common Stock, the Payment shall be made in a number of whole shares. That number of shares shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value that most closely approximates, but does not exceed, the dollar amount of the Payment if made in cash.

ARTICLE 12
Antidilution Provisions

Except as expressly provided under the Plan, the following provisions shall apply to all shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock) authorized for issuance and all Options and SARs granted under the Plan:

12.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or other subdivision or combination of the Common Stock:

(a)

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and any numerical share limits, under the Plan will be adjusted proportionately; and

(b)

There will be a proportionate adjustment in: the number of shares of Common Stock subject to unexercised stock Options and SARs; the per share Option and SAR exercise price (but without adjustment to the aggregate Option or SAR exercise price); the number of shares of Restricted Stock outstanding; and the number of Strategic Performance Shares outstanding.

12.2 Merger, Exchange or Reorganization. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed or converted into, exchanged or exchangeable for, a different number or kind of shares or other securities of CIGNA Corporation or of another corporation, by reason of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification or combination (an “Event”), appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number of shares and kind of Restricted Stock and Common Stock for which Options, SARs and other rights may be or may have been awarded under this Plan, so that the proportionate interests of Participants shall be maintained as before the Event. However, in case of any contemplated Event which may constitute a Change of Control, the Committee, with the approval of a majority of the members of the Board who are not then Participants, may modify any and all outstanding Restricted Stock, Options and SARs, so as to accelerate, as a consequence of or in connection with the Event, the vesting of a Participant’s right to exercise any such Options or SARs or the lapsing of the Restricted Periods for shares of Restricted Stock, provided that such accelerated vesting shall occur only if a Change of Control is actually consummated.

12.3 No New Grant. No adjustment to an Option or SAR shall be made under this Article 12 in a manner that will be treated under Code Section 409A as the grant of a new Option or SAR.

ARTICLE 13
Administration of Plan

13.1 General Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, subject to any requirements for review and approval by the Board that the Board may establish.

13.2 Administrative Rules. The Committee shall have full power and authority to adopt, amend and rescind administrative guidelines, rules and regulations relating to this Plan, to interpret the Plan and to rule on any questions relating to any of its provisions, terms and conditions.

13.4 Decisions Binding. All decisions of the Committee concerning this Plan shall be binding on CIGNA Corporation and its Subsidiaries and their respective boards of directors, and on all Eligible Employees, Participants and other persons claiming rights under the Plan.

ARTICLE 14
Amendments

14.1 General Provisions. All amendments to this Plan shall be in writing and shall be effective when approved by the Board, except that a Plan amendment shall not be effective without the prior approval of CIGNA Corporation shareholders if necessary under Internal Revenue Service or SEC regulations, or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any applicable law. Unless otherwise expressly provided by an amendment or the Board, no amendment to this Plan shall apply to any Plan awards made before the effective date of the amendment. A Participant’s rights under any Plan grants or awards, including any rights under paragraph 10.5(d), and a transferee’s rights relating to any transferred derivative securities, may not be abridged by any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan without the Participant’s individual consent.

14.2 Compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent that a benefit under the Plan is subject to the requirements of Code section 409A, it is intended that the Plan, as applied to that benefit, comply with the requirements of Code section 409A, and the Plan shall be so administered and interpreted. The Board or Committee may make any changes required to conform the Plan and any Option agreements or other grants with applicable Code provisions and regulations relating to Incentive Stock Options or to deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 15
Other Provisions

15.1 Effective Date. The Plan as amended and restated is effective as of the Restatement Date.

15.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall remain in effect until all Options and rights granted under the Plan have been satisfied by the issuance of Common Stock or terminated under the terms of this Plan, all Restricted Periods applicable to Restricted Stock granted under the Plan have lapsed, and all Performance Periods related to Performance Shares and Units granted under the Plan have expired, and all related Performance Share or Unit Payments have been made.

15.3 Early Termination. Notwithstanding Section 15.2, the Board may terminate this Plan at any time; but no such action by the Board shall adversely affect the rights of Participants which exist under this Plan immediately before its termination.

15.4 General Restriction. No Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan shall be sold or distributed by a Participant until all appropriate listing, registration and qualification requirements and consents and approvals have been obtained, free of any condition unacceptable to the Board. In no event shall the value, amount or form of consideration for any award under the Plan be less than the value or amount, or in other than the form, required by applicable Delaware law.

15.5 Awards Not Assignable.

(a)

No derivative security (as defined in rules promulgated under Exchange Act Section 16), including any right to receive Common Stock (such as Options, SARs or similar rights), or any Strategic Performance Shares or Strategic Performance Units, or any right to payment under the Plan, shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment or alienation shall be void and of no force or effect. Any right to receive Common Stock or any other derivative security (including Options, SARs or similar rights) shall be exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 15.5(a), the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to grant (or to sanction by way of amendment of an existing grant) derivative securities (other than Incentive Stock Options) that may be transferred without consideration by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime to any member of the Participant’s immediate family, to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one or more members of the Participant’s immediate family, to a partnership of which the only partners are members of the Participant’s immediate family, or to such other person as the Committee shall permit. In the case of a grant, the written documentation containing the terms and conditions of such derivative security shall state that it is transferable, and in the case of an amendment to an existing grant, such amendment shall be in writing. A derivative security transferred as contemplated in this Section 15.5(b) may not be subsequently transferred by the transferee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall continue to be governed by and subject to the terms and limitations of the Plan and the relevant grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion at the time the transfer is approved, may alter the terms and limitations of the relevant grant and establish such additional terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate. As used in this subparagraph, “immediate family” shall mean, as to any person, a current or former spouse or domestic partner (as defined under the CIGNA 401(k) Plan), any child, stepchild or grandchild, and shall include relationships arising from legal adoption.

15.6 Withholding Taxes. Upon the exercise of any Option or SAR, the vesting of any Restricted Stock, or payment of any award described in Section 4.1(d), (e), (f) or (g), or upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Code Section 422, the Company shall have the right at its option to:

(a)

require the Participant (or personal representative or beneficiary) to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state and local withholding taxes; or

(b)

deduct from any amount payable the amount of any taxes the Company may be required to withhold because of the transaction.

The Committee may require or permit the Participant to remit all or part of the required withholding amount in Common Stock (other than Restricted Stock). The remitted Common Stock may be shares deliverable to the Participant because of the transaction giving rise to the withholding obligation (in which case the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to a Participant shall be reduced by the number of shares so remitted) or shares the Participant has owned without restriction for at least six months as of the date the withholding obligation arises. If the Committee permits a Participant to elect to remit Common Stock, the election shall be made on or before the date the withholding obligation arises and be subject to the disapproval of the Committee. The Committee may establish any additional conditions it deems appropriate. The value of any remitted Common Stock shall be its Fair Market Value as of the date the withholding obligation arises.

15.7 Book Entry; Certificates. A book entry shall be made in the electronic share ownership records maintained by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent as evidence of the issuance of Common Stock to a Participant (or beneficiary) upon a Restricted Stock grant, the exercise of an Option or any other grant or payment of Common Stock under the Plan. The Company or its transfer agent shall deliver to any Participant (or beneficiary), upon the Participant’s (or beneficiary’s) request and subject to the Participant’s (or beneficiary’s) compliance with applicable administrative procedures the Company or its transfer agent may establish, a certificate for any of the shares evidenced by book entry. A certificate for Restricted Stock, however, will not be delivered until the applicable Restricted Period has expired.

15.8 Participant’s Rights Unsecured. The right of any Participant to receive future payments under the provisions of the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.

15.9 Future Award Not Guaranteed. Any award to a Participant described in Section 4.1 is not intended to be, or to be construed as, a right to receive another award at any later time.

15.10 Termination of Employment. The Company retains the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time for any reason or no reason, and an award or grant under the Plan to an Eligible Employee is not, and shall not be construed in any manner to be, a waiver of that right.

15.11 Successors. Any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of CIGNA Corporation, shall assume the liabilities of CIGNA Corporation under this Plan and perform any duties and responsibilities in the same manner and to the same extent that CIGNA Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

15.12 Construction. The terms used in this Plan shall include the feminine as well as the masculine gender and the plural as well as the singular, as the context in which they are used requires.

15.13 Interpretation. All statutory or regulatory references in this Plan shall include successor provisions.

15.14 Controlling Law. This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to Pennsylvania conflict of laws rules, to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control.
