2.              Each RSU represents a right to a future payment of one share (“Share”) of Common Stock ($0.01 par value) of the Company.  Subject to required tax withholding, if applicable, such payment shall be in Shares.

 

3.              (a)                                 To the extent dividends are paid on Shares while the RSUs remain outstanding and prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below), subject to Section 5(b), Participant shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equivalent to the cash dividends with respect to the number of Shares covered by the RSUs; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable with respect to any RSUs forfeited on or prior to the dividend payment date.

 

(b)                                 Participant hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the dividend equivalent amounts referred to in Paragraph 3(a) above amounts sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding in respect of such dividend equivalent payments.

 

4.              Subject to the terms and conditions of the ICP and this Agreement, including Section 5 below, and subject to Participant’s continued employment, Participant shall be entitled to receive (and the Company shall deliver to Participant) the Shares within sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date set forth herein, unless delivery of the Shares has been deferred in accordance with Section 5 below (the date of delivery of the Shares being hereafter referred to as the “Settlement Date”).  The “Vesting Date,” except as otherwise provided in Section 7, shall be the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

5.              (a)                                 In accordance with rules promulgated by the Management Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), Participant, to the extent eligible under the CVS Caremark Deferred Stock Compensation Plan, may elect to defer delivery of Shares in settlement of RSUs covered by this Agreement.  Any such deferred delivery date elected by Participant shall become the Settlement Date for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 3(a), to the extent dividends are paid on such deferred Shares following the Vesting Date and prior to the Settlement Date, Participant shall be entitled to receive  a number of additional deferred Shares equal to: (x) the amount of dividend per Share as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Company’s common stock multiplied by (y) the number of deferred Shares held by Participant on the record date of such dividend, divided by (z) the FMV of a Share on such dividend payment date.  The Company may decrease the number of additional deferred Shares calculated as provided herein by the number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding in respect of such dividend equivalent payments.

 

6.              Except as may be elected by Participant, on the Vesting Date or the Settlement Date, as the case may be, the number of Shares to be delivered by the Company to Participant shall be reduced by the smallest number of Shares having a FMV at least equal to the dollar amount of Federal, state or local tax withholding required to be withheld by the Company with respect to such RSUs on such date.  In lieu of having the number of Shares underlying the RSU reduced, Participant may elect to pay the Company for any amounts required to be withheld

by the Company in connection with the vesting of the RSUs or delivery of the Shares pursuant to the Agreement.  Such election may be made electronically at any time prior to the Settlement Date of the RSUs.

 

7.              (a)                                 Except as provided in Paragraphs 7 (b) — (f) below, if, for any reason, Participant ceases to be employed by the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, all RSUs not then vested in accordance with Section 4 above shall be immediately forfeited.

 

(b)                                 In the event Participant ceases to be employed by the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of death, RSUs not then vested in accordance with Section 4 will become immediately vested and the Vesting Date shall be the date of death.

 

(c)                                  In the event Participant ceases to be employed by the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of total and permanent disability (as defined in the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan, or, if not defined in such Plan, as defined by the Social Security Administration), the RSUs shall vest on a pro rata basis as follows:  the total number of RSUs vested as of the termination date, which is the last date that the Participant is employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, shall be equal to the number of RSUs granted on the Grant Date multiplied by the following fraction:  (A) the numerator shall be the whole number of months elapsed since the Grant Date and (B) the denominator shall be forty-eight (48).  For purposes of this calculation, the number of months in the numerator in sub-section (A) above shall include any partial month in which Participant has worked.  For example, if the time elapsed between the Grant Date and the Termination Date is eight months and five days, the numerator in sub-section (A) above shall be nine.  The Vesting Date shall be the date the employee ceases to be employed by the Company.

 

(d)                                 In the event Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and receives severance pay, RSUs not vested at the time of termination but scheduled to vest during the severance period set forth in the separation agreement setting forth the severance pay shall continue to vest during such severance period. Such RSUs shall vest and settle in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, provided Participant remains in compliance with the 2012 Employee Agreement.  Failure to comply with the 2012 Employee Agreement will result in forfeiture of all outstanding RSUs or the right to receive Shares subject to the RSUs as of the date of noncompliance.  All RSUs not scheduled to vest during the specified severance period shall be forfeited on the employment termination date. During any severance period, Participant is eligible to receive dividend equivalents on outstanding RSUs as described in Paragraph 3(a) above.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding the above, (i) the provisions of Section 10 of the ICP shall apply in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 10) and (ii) the provisions of Section 7(e)(iv) of the ICP shall apply.

 

(f)                                   For purposes of this Section 7, transfer of employment of Participant from the Company to a subsidiary of the Company, transfer among or between subsidiaries, or transfer from a subsidiary to the Company shall not be treated as cessation of employment.

 

8.              An RSU does not represent an equity interest in the Company and carries no voting rights.  Participant shall have no rights of a shareholder with respect to the RSUs until the Shares have been delivered to Participant.

 

9.              Neither the execution and delivery hereof nor the granting of the award evidenced hereby shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, on the part of the Company or its subsidiaries to employ Participant for any specific period.

 

10.       Any notice required to be given hereunder to the Company shall be addressed to:

 

CVS Caremark Corporation

SVP, Chief Human Resources Officer

One CVS Drive

Woonsocket, RI 02895

 

and any notice required to be given hereunder to Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the address shown on the records of the Company, subject to the right of either party hereafter to designate, in writing, to the other, some other address.

 

11.       All decisions and interpretations made by the Board of Directors or the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the ICP shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the provisions of the ICP, the ICP shall govern.

12.       The vesting of the RSUs and any rights or benefits associated with the RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement is expressly subject to and contingent upon the requirement that the Participant shall have fully executed and delivered to the Company NO LATER THAN June 18, 2012, the restrictive covenant agreement required by CVS Caremark Corporation (the “2012 Employee Agreement”), unless such requirement is waived by the Company in its sole discretion because Participant has an employment agreement which contains the restrictions deemed appropriate by the Company.  Delivery of Participant’s fully executed 2012 Employee Agreement must be made by hand or mail to:

 

Executive Compensation

CVS Caremark Corporation

One CVS Drive

Woonsocket, RI 02895

 

Participant may not make such acceptance or delivery by electronic means.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that failure to execute and return the 2012 Employee Agreement by the date stated above, except as otherwise waived by the Company, will result in forfeiture of the RSUs, any dividend equivalents, and any right to receive Shares.  Participant further acknowledges and agrees the grant of RSUs under this Agreement is good and sufficient consideration for the 2012 Employee Agreement.

 

13.       By accepting this Award, Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the ICP, and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the ICP as in effect from time to time, including the requirement that Participant sign and return the 2012 Employee Agreement by June 18, 2012, as set forth in Section 12.

 

14.       By accepting this Award, Participant further acknowledges that the Federal securities laws and/or Company’s policies regarding trading in its securities may limit or restrict Participant’s right to trade Shares, including without limitation, sales of Shares acquired in connection with RSUs.  Participant agrees to comply with such Federal securities law requirements and Company policies, as such laws and policies may be amended from time to time.

 

15.       Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company intends that this Agreement not violate any applicable provision of, or result in any additional tax or penalty under, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and that to the extent any provisions of this Agreement do not comply with Code Section 409A the Company will make such changes in order to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent it considers reasonable.  In all events, the provisions of CVS Caremark Corporation’s 409A Universal Definitions Document are hereby incorporated by reference and to the extent required to avoid a violation of the applicable rules under all Section 409A by reason of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, payment of any amounts subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be delayed until the relevant date of payment that will result in compliance with the rules of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  For purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment, references to the “termination of employment” (and corollary terms) shall be construed to refer to “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations as to the tax treatment or consequences of any payment made hereunder, and Participant, by accepting this Award, acknowledges that Participant shall be solely responsible for same.

 

16.       Recoupment of Restricted Stock Unit Award Due to Material Fraud or Financial Misconduct.

 

Participant shall immediately repay to the Company the value of any pre-tax economic benefit that Participant derived from such RSUs, if the Board determines that misconduct has occurred in a manner which subjects Participant to recoupment under the Company’s recoupment policy, as in effect from time to time.  The amount to be repaid by Participant shall be the amount necessary to disgorge the value enjoyed or realized by Participant from the RSUs and the underlying Shares, as determined by the Board, or a portion of such value as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.  In making its determinations under this paragraph, the Board may, by way of example only, (i) with respect to any Shares which have been transferred to Participant in settlement of the RSUs and which are beneficially owned by Participant as of a date the repayment obligation arises, require Participant to repay to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date of such repayment and/or (ii) with respect to any Shares which were transferred to Participant in settlement of the RSUs and as to which beneficial ownership has been transferred by Participant as of the date a repayment obligation arises, require Participant to repay to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such Shares were transferred by Participant.  In each case the amount to be repaid by Participant shall also include any dividends (including any economic benefit thereof) or distributions received by Participant with respect to any RSU Shares and, in calculating the value to be repaid, adjustments may be made for stock splits or other capital changes or

 

3

 

corporate transactions, as determined by the Board.  If Participant has deferred payment of any portion of the amounts relating to an RSU that are subject to repayment hereunder, the amount of Participant’s deferred stock compensation accrual shall be reduced by the amount subject to repayment, plus all Company matching amounts and earnings on such amount.  If Participant fails to repay the required value immediately upon request by the Board, the Company may seek reimbursement of such value from Participant by reducing salary or any other payments that may be due to Participant, to the extent legally permissible, and/or through initiating a legal action to recover such amount, which recovery shall include any reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Company in bringing such action.

 

17.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without giving effect to its choice of law provisions.

The amount to be repaid by Participant shall be the amount necessary to disgorge the value enjoyed or realized by Participant from the RSUs and the underlying Shares, as determined by the Board, or a portion of such value as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.  In making its determinations under this paragraph, the Board may, by way of example only, (i) with respect to any Shares which have been transferred to Participant in settlement of the RSUs and which are beneficially owned by Participant as of a date the repayment obligation arises, require Participant to repay to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date of such repayment and/or (ii) with respect to any Shares which were transferred to Participant in settlement of the RSUs and as to which beneficial ownership has been transferred by Participant as of the date a repayment obligation arises, require Participant to repay to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such Shares were transferred by Participant.
