Exhibit 10.48



CVS Pharmacy, Inc.
Restrictive Covenant Agreement


    
I, Eva Boratto, enter into this Restrictive Covenant Agreement (“Agreement”) with CVS Pharmacy, Inc., on its own behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries and affiliates (“CVS”), which is  effective as of the date I sign the Agreement (“Effective Date”).  In consideration of the mutual promises   in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:


1.Consideration for Agreement.  In connection with my duties and responsibilities at CVS Health Corporation or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including Aetna Inc. (collectively, the “Corporation”), the Corporation will provide me with Confidential Information and/or access to the Corporation’s customers and clients and the opportunity to develop and maintain relationships and goodwill with them.  In addition, the Corporation has awarded me equity contingent on the execution of this Agreement and compliance with its terms.  In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises in this Agreement,    I hereby agree with CVS to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 


2.Non-Competition.  During my employment by the Corporation and during the Non-Competition Period following the  termination of my employment for any reason, I will not, directly or indirectly, engage in Competition or provide Consulting or Audit Services within the Restricted Area.


a.Competition.  Engaging in “Competition” means providing services to a Competitor of the Corporation (whether as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, principal, agent, partner, officer, director investor, or shareholder, except as a shareholder of less than one percent of a publicly traded company) that: (i) are the same or similar in function or purpose to the services I provided to the Corporation at any time during the last year of my employment by the Corporation; or (ii) will likely   result in the disclosure of Confidential Information to a Competitor or the use of Confidential Information on behalf of a Competitor.  If a representative of the Corporation, during my employment or the Non-Competition Period, requests that I identify the company or business to which I will be or am providing services, or with which I will be or am employed, and requests that I provide information about the  services that I am or will be providing to such entity, I shall provide the Corporation with a written statement detailing the identity of the entity and the nature of the services that I am or will be providing to such entity with sufficient detail to allow the Corporation to independently assess whether I am or will be   in violation of this Agreement.  Such statement shall be delivered to the Corporation’s Chief Human Resources Officer or his or her authorized delegate via personal delivery or overnight delivery within five calendar days of my receipt of such request.


b.Competitor.  A “Competitor” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean any person, corporation or other entity that competes with one or more of the business offerings of the Corporation.    As of the Effective Date, the Corporation’s business offerings include: (i) pharmacy benefits management (“PBM”), including: (a) the administration of pharmacy benefits for businesses, government agencies     and health plans; (b) mail order pharmacy; (c) specialty pharmacy; (d) the procurement of prescription drugs at a negotiated rate for dispensing; and (e) Medicare Part D services; (ii) retail, which includes the sale of prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, beauty products and cosmetics, digital and traditional photo finishing services, digital and other online offerings, seasonal and other general merchandise, greeting cards, convenience foods and other product lines and services which are sold by    the Corporation’s retail division (“Retail”); (iii) retail health clinics (“MinuteClinic”); (iv) the provision    of pharmaceutical products and ancillary services, including specialty pharmaceutical products and   support services and the provision of related pharmacy consulting, data management services and medical supplies to long-term care facilities, other healthcare service providers and recipients of services from   such facilities (“Long-Term Care”); (v) the provision of prescription infusion drugs and related services 


Page | 1





(“Infusion”); (vi) the provision of insurance (“Insurance”) including: (a) health insurance products and services; (b) managed health care products and services; (c) dental, vision, workers compensation and employee assistance program products and services; (d) wellness products and services to employers, government agencies, health plans, other businesses  or third party  payers; (e) other voluntary  products that are excepted benefits under HIPAA; (vii) the  creation and  provision of population health  management products and services (“Health Management”); (viii) the administration of (ii) - (vii) (“Administration”); and (ix) any other business in which Corporation is engaged or imminently will be engaged.


For the purpose of assessing whether I am engaging in “Competition” under Section 2 (a) (i) above, a person, corporation or other entity shall not be considered a Retail Competitor if such entity derives annual gross revenues from its business in an amount which is less than 2% of the Corporation’s gross revenues from Retail, during its most recently completed fiscal year. For avoidance of doubt, this exclusion does not apply to a determination of whether I am engaging in “Competition” as set forth in Section 2 (a) (ii) above.


I and the Corporation acknowledge that both the Corporation’s products and services and the entities which compete with the Corporation’s products and services evolve and an entity will be considered a Competitor if it provides products or services competitive with the products and services provided by the Corporation within the last two years of my employment.


I agree to this enterprise-wide definition of Competition, which may prevent me from providing services to any of the Corporation’s PBM, Retail, MinuteClinic, Long-Term Care, Health Insurance,  Health Management, Administration and/or Infusion Competitors or any combination thereof during the Non-Competition period.


c.Consulting or Audit Services. “Consulting or Audit Services” shall mean any activity which involves providing audit review or other consulting or advisory services with respect to any relationship or prospective relationship between the Corporation and any third party that is likely to result in the use or disclosure of Confidential Information.


d.Non-Competition Period. The “Non-Competition Period” shall be the period of 18 months following the termination of my employment with the Corporation for any reason.


e.Restricted Area. “Restricted Area” refers to those states within  the United  States in which the Corporation conducts its business, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. To the extent I worked on international projects in Asia, Europe, Brazil or other countries where the Corporation may conduct business, the Restricted Area includes those countries and those countries where the Corporation is actively planning to conduct business.


3.Non-Solicitation. During the Non-Solicitation Period, which shall be during my employment by the Corporation and for 18 months following the termination of my employment with the Corporation for any reason, I will not, unless a duly authorized officer of the  Corporation  gives me written authorization  to do so:


a.interfere with the Corporation’s relationship with its Business Partners by soliciting or communicating (regardless of who initiates the communication) with a Business Partner to: (i) induce or encourage the Business Partner to stop doing business or reduce its business with the Corporation, or (ii) buy a product or service that competes with a product or service offered by the Corporation’s business. “Business Partner” means: a customer (person or entity), prospective customer (person or entity), healthcare provider, supplier, manufacturer, agency, broker, hospital, hospital system, long-term care


Page | 2





facility, and/or pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom the Corporation has a business relationship and with which I had business-related contact or dealings, or about which I received Confidential Information, in the two years prior to the termination of my employment  with the Corporation.  A Business Partner does not include a customer, supplier, manufacturer, broker, hospital, hospital system, long-term care facility and/or pharmaceutical manufacturer which has fully and  finally ceased doing any business with the Corporation independent of any conduct or communications by me or breach of this Agreement and such full cessation of business has been in effect for at least 1 year prior to my separation from employment with the Corporation. Nothing in this Paragraph 3(a) shall  prevent me from working as a staff pharmacist or in another retail position wherein I would be providing or selling prescriptions or other products directly to consumers.


b.work on a Corporation account on behalf of a Business Partner or serve as the representative of a Business Partner for the Corporation.


c.interfere with the Corporation’s relationship with any employee or contractor of the Corporation by: (i) soliciting or communicating with the employee or contractor to induce or encourage him or her to leave the Corporation’s employ or engagement (regardless of who first initiates the communication); (ii) helping another person or entity evaluate such employee or contractor as an employment or contractor candidate; or (iii) otherwise helping any person or entity hire an employee or contractor away from the Corporation.


		
	4.
	Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.




a.Subject to Section 7 and 8 below, I will not at any time, whether during or after the termination of my employment, disclose to any person or entity any of the Corporation’s Confidential Information, except as may be appropriately required in the ordinary course  of performing  my duties as  an employee of the Corporation. The Corporation’s Confidential  Information  includes but is  not limited  to the following non-public information: trade secrets; computer code generated or developed by the Corporation; software or programs and related documentation; strategic compilations and analysis;  strategic processes; business or financial methods, practices and plans; non-public costs and prices; operating margins; marketing, merchandising and selling techniques and information; customer lists; provider lists; details of customer agreements; pricing arrangements with pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors or suppliers including but not limited to any discounts and/or rebates; pharmacy  reimbursement rates; premium information; payment rates; contractual forms; expansion strategies; real estate strategies; operating strategies; sources of supply; patient records; business plans; other financial, commercial, business or technical information related to the Corporation and confidential information of third parties which is given to the Corporation pursuant to an obligation or agreement to keep such information confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information”). I shall not use or attempt to use any Confidential Information on behalf of any person or entity other than the Corporation, or in any manner which may injure or cause loss, or may be  calculated to injure or cause loss, whether  directly or  indirectly, to the Corporation. If, at any time over the last two years of my employment at CVS, my position included access to Confidential Information, as described above, specifically related to the Corporation’s procurement of prescription drugs, I understand and agree my employment with a pharmaceutical manufacturer, distributor or supplier (“Pharmaceutical Entity”) would place a substantial risk of use and/or disclosure of Confidential Information with which I have been or will be entrusted  during my employment with the Corporation. In light of this risk of disclosure, I acknowledge and agree that the Corporation will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to prevent me from disclosing any such Confidential Information in the course of my employment with any such Pharmaceutical Entity. I agree that the disclosure of such Confidential Information, to the Corporation’s PBM Competitors with which  one may negotiate in the course of employment with such Pharmaceutical Entity, would cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Corporation. For employees residing in Connecticut, these restrictions on use


Page | 3





or disclosure of Confidential Information will only apply for three (3) years after the end of my employment where information that does not qualify as a trade secret is concerned; however, the restrictions will continue apply to trade secret information for as long as the information at issue remains qualified as a trade secret.


b.During my employment, I shall not make, use, or permit to be used, any materials of any nature relating to any matter within the scope of the business of the Corporation or concerning any of its dealings or affairs other than for the benefit of the Corporation. I shall not, after the termination of my employment, use or permit to be used any such materials and shall return same in accordance with 
Section 5 below.


5.Ownership and Return of the Corporation’s Property.  On or  before  my final  date of employment with the Corporation, I shall return to the Corporation all property of the Corporation in my possession, custody or control, including but not limited to the originals and copies of any information provided to or acquired by me in connection with the performance of my duties for the Corporation, such  as files, correspondence, communications, memoranda, e-mails, slides, records, and all other documents,  no matter how produced or reproduced, all computer equipment, communication devices (including but  not limited to any mobile phone or other portable digital assistant or  device),  computer  programs and/or  files, and all office keys and access cards. I agree that all the items described in this Section are the sole property of the Corporation.


		
	6.
	Rights to Inventions, Works.




a.Assignment of Inventions.  All inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether patentable or otherwise protectable under similar law, made, conceived or developed by me, whether alone or jointly with others, from the date of my initial employment by the Corporation and continuing  until the end of  any period during which I am employed by the Corporation, relating or pertaining in any way to my employment with or the business of the Corporation (collectively referred to as “Inventions”) shall be promptly disclosed in writing to the  Corporation. I hereby assign to the  Corporation, or its designee, all   of my rights, title and interest to such Inventions. All original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with the Corporation and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act and as such are the sole property of the Corporation. The decision   whether to commercialize or market any Invention developed by me solely or jointly with others is within the Corporation’s  sole  discretion and for the Corporation’s sole benefit and  no royalty will be due to me  as a result of the Corporation’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention.


b.Inventions Retained and Licensed.  I  have attached  hereto as  Exhibit  A,  a  list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by me prior to my employment with the Corporation (“Prior Inventions”), which belong to me and are not assigned to the Corporation hereunder. If no such list is attached, I represent that there  are no such Prior Inventions.  I will not  incorporate, or permit  to be  incorporated, any Prior  Invention   owned by me or in which I have an interest into a Corporation product, process or machine without the Corporation’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, in the course of my employment with the Corporation, I incorporate into a Corporation product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, the Corporation is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made,  modify, use   and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.


Page | 4





c.Patent and Copyright Registrations.  I will  assist the Corporation, or  its designee, at the Corporation’s  expense, in every proper way to secure the Corporation’s rights in the Inventions and  any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto, including, but not limited to, the disclosure to the Corporation of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto,  the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments  which the Corporation shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Corporation, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto.  My obligation to execute or cause to be executed,  when it is  in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after my employment ends for any reason and/or after the termination of this Agreement.  If the Corporation is unable because of my mental  or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Corporation  as above, then I hereby  irrevocably designate  and appoint the Corporation and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and  attorney in fact,  to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.


d.Exception to Assignments.  I understand that if I am an employee in Illinois, Kansas, North Carolina, Utah or Minnesota, I should refer to Exhibit B (incorporated herein for all purposes) for important limitations on the scope of the provisions of this Agreement concerning assignment of Inventions.  I will  advise  the  Corporation promptly in  writing  of  any inventions that  I believe meet    the criteria in Exhibit B and that are not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A.


		
	7.
	Cooperation.




a.In the event I receive a subpoena, deposition  notice, interview request, or other process or order to testify or produce Confidential Information or any other information or property of the Corporation, I shall promptly: (i) notify the Corporation of the item, document, or information sought by such subpoena, deposition notice, interview request, or other process or order; (ii) furnish the Corporation with a copy of said subpoena, deposition notice, interview request, or other process or order; and (iii) provide reasonable cooperation with respect to any procedure that the Corporation may initiate to protect Confidential Information or other interests. If the Corporation objects to the subpoena, deposition notice, interview request, process, or order, I shall cooperate to ensure that there shall be no disclosure until the court or other applicable entity has ruled upon the objection, and then only in accordance with the ruling   so made. If no such objection is made despite a reasonable opportunity to do so, I shall be entitled to comply with the subpoena, deposition, notice, interview request, or other process or order provided that I have fulfilled the above obligations.


b.I will cooperate fully with the Corporation, its affiliates, and their legal counsel in connection with any action, proceeding, or dispute arising out of matters with which I was directly or indirectly involved while serving as an employee of the Corporation, its predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates. This cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, meeting with, and providing information to, the Corporation and its legal counsel, maintaining the confidentiality of any past or future privileged communications with the Corporation’s legal counsel (outside and in-house), and making  myself available to testify truthfully by affidavit, in depositions, or in any other forum on behalf of the Corporation.  The Corporation agrees to reimburse me for any reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket  costs associated with my cooperation.

8.Limitation on Restrictions.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall interfere with my right to file charges or participate in a proceeding with any appropriate federal, state or local government agency, including the Occupational Safety and  Health Administration (“OSHA”), National Labor  Relations Board (“NLRB”) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); to exercise rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”); or to file a charge or complaint with or participate or cooperate in an investigation or proceeding with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or comparable state or local agencies. Such agencies have authority to carry out their statutory duties by investigating a charge,  issuing a determination, filing a lawsuit, or taking any  other action authorized by law. I retain the right to participate in any such action and retain the right to communicate with the NLRB, SEC, EEOC, OSHA and comparable state or local agencies and such communication shall not be limited by any provision in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement limits my right to receive an award for information provided to a government agency such as the SEC and  OSHA. In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) for confidential disclosures of trade secrets to government officials or lawyers, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or in a sealed filing in court or other proceeding.


9.Eligibility for Severance Pay.  If my employment with the Corporation terminates under circumstances in which I am eligible for severance under the applicable severance plan (the “Severance Plan”), the Corporation will offer me severance in accordance with the Severance Plan and the length of  the Non-Competition Period will match the length of the severance period. I acknowledge that the Severance Plan sets forth pre-requisites I must meet in order to receive severance, including but not   limited to execution of the Corporation’s standard separation agreement and release of claims.  In the   event that the Corporation fails to comply with its obligations to offer me severance according to the Severance Plan, then Section 2 of this Agreement shall be of no further effect. I agree that if I decline the Corporation’s offer of severance, I shall continue to be subject to the restrictions in Section 2.


10.Injunctive Relief. Any breach of this Agreement by me will cause irreparable damage to the Corporation and, in the event of such breach, the Corporation shall have, in addition to any and all  remedies of law, the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent the violation of my obligations hereunder, and without providing a bond to the extent permitted by the applicable rules of civil procedure.


11.No Right of Continued Employment.  This Agreement does not create an obligation on the Corporation or any other person or entity to continue my employment.


12.No Conflicting Agreements.  I represent that the performance of my job duties with the Corporation and my compliance with all of the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Corporation.


13.Entire Agreement/No Reliance/No Modifications.  This Agreement and  any compensation, benefit or equity plan or agreement referred to herein or under which equity was granted, including the CVS Health Corporation Change in Control Agreement (“CIC Agreement”), to the extent those other agreements apply to me, set forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersede any and all prior and/or supplemental understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.  This agreement shall not have any effect on any prior existing agreements between Corporation and me regarding the arbitration of workplace legal disputes and any  such agreements remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if I am a party to the CIC Agreement, then I understand that in the event of a Change in Control, as that term is defined in the CIC, Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall be null and void. I agree and acknowledge that I have not relied on


Page | 6





any representations, promises or agreements of any kind in connection with my decision to accept the terms of this Agreement, except for the representations, promises and agreements herein. Any modification to this Agreement must be made in writing and signed by me and the Corporation’s Chief Human Resources Officer or his or her authorized representative.


14.Beneficiaries of Global  Amendment Relating to Non-Compete Covenants Applicable to Aetna Employees.
