Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2007, by and between David J. Lubben



 Exhibit 10.2 
 This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on this fifth day of December, 2007, by and between David Lubben (“Lubben”), UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (“UHG” or “the
Company”) and the Special Litigation Committee of the Board of Directors of UHG (the “SLC”): 
 WHEREAS, Lubben was employed by
UHG until December 29, 2006; and 
 WHEREAS, beginning in April 2006, a number of derivative lawsuits were filed in the name of the
Company against various officers and directors, which have been consolidated as In re UnitedHealth Group Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 06-1216 JMR/FLN in the United States District Court for the District of
Minnesota (the “Federal Derivative Actions”) and In re UnitedHealth Group Inc. Derivative Litigation, File No. 27-CV-06-8085 in the Minnesota District Court for Hennepin County (the “State Derivative Actions”)
(collectively referred to as the “Derivative Actions”); and 
 WHEREAS, Lubben left the employ of the Company in December 2006, at
which time there were unresolved issues between him and the Company regarding various employment benefits and other employment issues (the “Employment Issues”); and 
 WHEREAS, in June, 2006, the Board of Directors of UHG appointed the SLC to determine whether prosecution of the claims against the various defendants in
the Derivative Actions was in the best interests of the Company; and 







 WHEREAS, the parties have negotiated a settlement (the “Settlement”), which, upon all necessary
approvals, would resolve and settle all of the Employment Issues and result in the dismissal with prejudice of all claims asserted against Lubben in the Derivative Actions; and 
 WHEREAS, the SLC believes that the Settlement between the Company and Lubben would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders;

 NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Effective Date; Conditions — This Agreement shall be binding on the parties on the date (the “Effective Date”) the last signatory signs the Agreement; provided however, that this
Agreement is expressly conditioned upon: (i) final approval, by the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County District Court (the “State Court”) and the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “Federal
Court” and together with the State Court, the “Courts”), of the terms of the Settlement and this Agreement and the expiration of the time to appeal such approvals (or, in the event of an appeal, following the determination of the
appeal and any subsequent proceedings) (“Final Approval”); and (ii) the dismissal (“Dismissal”), with prejudice, of all claims against Lubben and all other defendants in the Derivative Actions; and (iii) the
Company’s release (“Release”) of all current and former UHG officers, directors and employees, arising out of, or relating or pertaining to (a) the general subject matter of the Derivative Actions, and/or (b) Lubben’s
employment with UHG, including but not limited to any of the Employment Issues (the Final Approval, Dismissal, and Release, collectively the “Conditions”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the parties shall seek preliminary
approval by the Courts of the Settlement and the Notice of 

  

 2 








 
Settlement that will be sent to the Company’s shareholders. The SLC, Lubben, and the Company, all agree to cooperate in obtaining preliminary and final
approval of the Settlement. The Company shall provide notice to its shareholders of, among other things, the following: 1) the terms of the Settlement; 2) the date and time of the final settlement approval hearing; and 3) that the shareholders can
object to the Agreement but cannot opt out of participation in the Settlement. In the event that the Conditions do not occur, this Agreement shall become a nullity, and shall have no force or effect whatsoever and the Original Option Letter and
Escrow Account (defined below) will be reinstated and UHG shall return the Settlement Amount (defined below) to the Escrow Account, and return the Surrendered Options (defined below) to Lubben, and the balance of the Escrow Account will be restored
to the amount on deposit therein on the day immediately prior to the Effective Date. 
 2. Surrender of Stock Options — On the
date the last of the Conditions is satisfied, Lubben shall surrender to the Company all right, title and interest in stock options on 273,000 shares of Company stock (“Surrendered Options”) and such options shall be cancelled. A list of
the Surrendered Options is set forth in Attachment A to this Agreement. 
 3. Repayment of Compensation — On or before
December 31, 2007, Lubben shall repay to the Company $20,550,000 (“Settlement Amount”) of the compensation realized by Lubben in calendar year 2007 as a result of his March 2007 option exercises. The Settlement Amount will be
transferred to the Company from the funds held in escrow (“Escrow Account”) pursuant to the Letter Agreement between Lubben and UHG, dated March 26, 2007, governing Lubben’s March 2007 option 

  

 3 








 
exercise (“Original Option Letter”). Immediately after the Effective Date, the parties will jointly petition the Federal Court for an order
(a) authorizing the use of funds in the Escrow Account to facilitate the payment of the Settlement Amount to UHG and (b) otherwise terminating the Original Option Letter and the Escrow Account. In the event that such order is not issued on

 4. Termination of Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Provisions — The Company acknowledges that any noncompetition and nonsolicitation obligations of Lubben, have expired, or will expire, on

to any of the Employment Issues, and/or (c) the Released Lubben Claims, the release provided hereunder by Lubben shall be null and void with respect to that UHG Releasee, and in addition, if such claim is brought by a UHG Releasor, then, Lubben

 6. Time to Reconsider by Lubben Parties — With respect to
the release of any claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Lubben agrees that he has had sufficient time to consider this Agreement before signing it, specifically up to 

  

 6 








 
twenty-one days, if desired, and that although he had a maximum of twenty-one days to consider this Agreement, he was free to and did sign this Agreement
sooner. Lubben may revoke this Agreement at any time up to fifteen days after he signs it. Any revocation must be in writing and received by Thomas L. Strickland, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer by 11: 59 p.m. Central Time of the
fifteenth calendar day of the revocation period to be effective. Lubben further acknowledges that he was advised, and hereby is advised in writing, to consult an attorney, if desired, before signing this Agreement below and that this Agreement has
been individually negotiated and is not part of a group exit incentive or other termination program. Lubben further acknowledges that he has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement; knowingly and voluntarily
agrees to all of terms in this Agreement; and knowingly and voluntarily intends to be legally bound by the same. However, if Lubben properly and timely revokes this Agreement as provided for in this Paragraph, this Agreement shall become null and
void in its entirety, and neither this Agreement, nor any settlement and/or release provided for herein, shall be effective or enforceable in any way or manner as to any of the parties hereto, and none of the parties hereto will receive any of the
benefits provided for in this Agreement.

equitable theory of recovery, and whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, concealed or hidden, which the UHG Releasors (or any of them) now have, ever had or shall have
against the Lubben Releasees (or any of them), arising out of, or relating or pertaining to (a) the general subject matter of the Derivative Actions, (b) Lubben’s employment with UHG, including but not limited to any of the Employment
