THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [NAME OF HOLDER], a [JURISDICTION AND TYPE OF ENTITY], or its registered assigns (“Holder”),
as registered owner of this Placement Agent’s Warrant, to ADDENTAX GROUP CORP. (“Company”), Holder is entitled,
at any time or from time to time from ______, 2019 the effective date of the offering (the “Offering”), as set forth
in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-230943) (the “Registration Statement”), and at
or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, [date], (the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the Offering) (the “Expiration
Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to ___ (___) Shares of the Company.
If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then this Placement Agent’s
Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period
ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate the Placement Agent’s Warrant.
This Placement Agent’s Warrant is initially exercisable at $[price] per Share (125% of the price of the Shares at the effective
date of the Offering) so purchased; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof,
the rights granted by this Placement Agent’s Warrant, including the exercise price per share and the number of Shares to
be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context.

 

    	 		 

    	 

    

 

2.
Exercise.

 

2.1
Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Placement Agent’s Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly
executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Placement Agent’s Warrant and payment of the Exercise
Price for the Share being purchased payable in cash or by certified check or official bank check. If the subscription rights represented
hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, this Placement Agent’s Warrant
shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

 

2.2
Legend. Each certificate for the securities purchased under this Placement Agent’s Warrant shall bear a legend as
follows unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”):

 

“The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”)
or applicable state law. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state law.”

 

2.3
Cashless Exercise.

 

2.3.1
Determination of Amount. In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares for which this
Placement Agent’s Warrant is exercisable in the manner required by Section 2.1, the Holder shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this Placement Agent’s Warrant into Shares (“Conversion
Right”). Upon a “cashless exercise”, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, together with the
Election to Purchase, and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Shares determined as follows:

 

X
= Y (A-B)/A

 

where:

 

X
= The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y
= The number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

A
= The fair market value of one Share.

 

B
= The Exercise Price.

 

For
purposes of this Section 2.3, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined by the first of the following clauses
that applies:

 

(i)
if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the last sale price on the trading
day immediately prior to the Date of Exercise or, if no sale of the Company’s Common Stock took place on the trading day
immediately prior to the Date of Exercise, then the fair market value shall be the last sale price on the most recent day prior
to the Date of Exercise on which trades were made and reported;

 

(ii)
if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the last sale price on the trading
day immediately prior to the Date of Exercise or, if no sale of the Company’s Common Stock took place on the trading day
immediately prior to the Date of Exercise, then the fair market value shall be the last sale price on the most recent day prior
to the Date of Exercise on which trades were made and reported; or

 

    	 		 

    	 

    

 

(iii)
if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

(a)
For purposes of Rule 144 of the Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the t Shares issued in a cashless exercise
transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Shares shall be deemed to have
been commenced, on the Issuance Date.

 

2.3.2
Mechanics of Cashless Exercise. The Cashless Exercise Right may be exercised by the Holder on any business day on or after
the Commencement Date and not later than the Expiration Date by delivering the Placement Agent’s Warrant with a duly executed
exercise form attached hereto with the cashless exercise section completed to the Company, exercising the Cashless Exercise Right
and specifying the total number of Shares the Holder will purchase pursuant to such Cashless Exercise Right.

 

2.4
No Obligation to Net Cash Settle. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Placement Agent Warrant, in
no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrant. The holder of the Placement
Agent Warrant will not be entitled to exercise the Placement Agent Warrant unless it exercises such Purchase Warrant pursuant
to the cashless exercise right or a registration statement is effective, or an exemption from the registration requirements is
available at such time and, if the Holder is not able to exercise the Placement Agent Warrant, the Placement Agent Warrant will
expire worthless.

 

3.
Transfer.

 

3.1
General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Placement Agent’s Warrant agrees that it will not sell, transfer,
assign, pledge or hypothecate this Placement Agent’s Warrant, or any portion thereof, or be the subject of any hedging,
short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities for
a period beginning from the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until 180 days after the effective date of the Offering
to anyone other than (i) NETWORK 1 or an Placement Agent or a selected dealer participating in the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide
officer or partner of NETWORK 1 or of any such Placement Agent or selected dealer. After a period of 180 days following the effective
date of the Offering, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws.
In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto duly executed
and completed, together with the Placement Agent’s Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection
therewith. The Company shall within five business days transfer this Placement Agent’s Warrant on the books of the Company
and shall execute and deliver a new Placement Agent’s Warrant or Placement Agent’s Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate
assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such portion of
such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.

 

3.2
Restrictions Imposed by the Act. The securities evidenced by this Placement Agent’s Warrant shall not be transferred
unless and until (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be transferred pursuant
to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (the Company hereby agreeing that the opinion of Mei & Mark LLP shall be deemed
satisfactory evidence of the availability of an exemption), or (ii) a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.

 

4.

4.1
Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Placement Agent’s Warrant may
be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of
this Placement Agent’s Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient
to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered
to the Holder without charge a new Placement Agent’s Warrant of like tenor to this Placement Agent’s Warrant in the
name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this
Placement Agent’s Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

 

    	 		 

    	 

    

 

4.2
Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Placement Agent’s Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Placement Agent’s Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Placement Agent’s Warrant
executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation
on the part of the Company.

 

5.
Registration Rights. The Company has filed the Registration Statement, including a related prospectus, with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, which has been declared effective on Form S-1 (File No. 333-230943). The Registration Statement registers
the Shares.

 

5.1
General Terms.

 

5.1.1
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration
statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss, claim, damage, expense
or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing
or defending against litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under
the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same
effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Placement Agents contained in Section 5 of
the Placement Agency Agreement in the Offering. The Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration
statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under
the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors
or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the
provisions contained in Section 5 of the Placement Agency Agreement pursuant to which the Placement Agents have agreed to indemnify
the Company.

 

5.1.2
Exercise of Placement Agent’s Warrants. Nothing contained in this Placement Agent’s Warrant shall be construed
as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Placement Agent’s Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration
statement or the effectiveness thereof.

 

5.1.5
Rule 144 Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5 to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation
to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering the Shares held by any Holder, where such Holder would then
be entitled to sell under Rule 144 within any three-month period (or such other period prescribed under Rule 144 as may be provided
by amendment thereof) all of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.

 

5.1.6
Supplemental Prospectus. Each Holder agrees, that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, or that would otherwise require disclosure of material nonpublic information
that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the Company, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s
receipt of the copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, or the public disclosure and dissemination of such information,
as the case may be, and, if so desired by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company)
or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in
such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.

 

6.
Adjustments.

 

6.1
Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying the Placement
Agent’s Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

    	 		 

    	 

    

 

6.1.1
Stock Dividends; Split Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split up of shares
of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be
increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock. For example, if the Company declares a two-for-one
stock dividend and at the time of such dividend this Placement Agent’s Warrant is for the purchase of one Share at $6.25
per Share, upon effectiveness of the dividend, this Placement Agent’s Warrant will be adjusted to allow for the purchase
of one Share for $3.125. In such example, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder would be doubled.

 

6.1.2
Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then,
on the effective date thereof, the number of Shares underlying this Placement Agent’s Warrant each of purchasable hereunder
shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

6.1.3
Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of the
shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than
a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification
or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or
entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved,
the Holder of this Placement Agent’s Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise
of this Placement Agent’s Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder
immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable
upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer,
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Placement Agent’s Warrant
immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3.
The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations,
sales or other transfers.

 

6.1.4
Changes in Form of Placement Agent’s Warrant. This form of Placement Agent’s Warrant need not be changed because
of any change pursuant to this Section, and Placement Agent’s Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise
Price and the same number of Shares are stated in the Placement Agent’s Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement.
The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Placement Agent’s Warrant reflecting a required or permissive change
shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.

 

6.2
Substitute Placement Agent’s Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change
of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental
Placement Agent’s Warrant providing that the holder of each Placement Agent’s Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding
shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Placement Agent’s Warrant) to receive, upon exercise
of such Placement Agent’s Warrant, the kind and amount of Shares and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company for which such Placement Agent’s Warrant might
have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Placement Agent’s
Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 6. The above provision of
this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

 

6.3
Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of
Shares upon the exercise of the Placement Agent’s Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of
any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any
fraction up to the nearest whole number of Warrants, Shares or other securities, properties or rights.

 

    	 		 

    	 

    

 

7.
Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely
for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Placement Agent’s Warrants, such number of shares of Shares, or other securities,
properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the
Placement Agent’s Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and
other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to
preemptive rights of any stockholder. As long as the Placement Agent’s Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent’s Warrants, to
be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges on which the Shares, issued to the public in the
Offering may then be listed and/or quoted.

 

8.
Certain Notice Requirements.

 

8.1
Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote
or consent or to receive notice as a stockholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever
as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Placement Agent’s Warrants and
their exercise, any of the events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall
give written notice of such event at least fifteen days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer
books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities
or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify
such record date or the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall deliver to each Holder a copy of each notice given to the other stockholders of the Company at the same time and in the
same manner that such notice is given to the stockholders.

 

8.2
Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more
of the following events: (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for the purpose of entitling them
to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than
out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company,
(ii) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Shares any additional Shares of the Company or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Shares of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor, or (iii) a dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of
its property, assets and business shall be proposed.

 

8.3
Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holders of such event and change (“Price Notice”). The Price Notice
shall describe the event causing the change and the method of calculating same and shall be certified as being true and accurate
by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

8.4
Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications which are required or may be given under
this Placement Agent’s Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (a) when received, if personally
delivered; (b) when transmitted, if transmitted by telecopy, electronic or digital transmission method with confirmation of transmission
by the transmitting equipment; (c) the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic address by a recognized

Effective January 1, 2004, UNITEDHEALTH GROUP INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “UnitedHealth Group”), as plan sponsor, and certain affiliated corporations (hereinafter together with UnitedHealth Group sometimes collectively referred to as the “Employers”), adopted the UnitedHealth Group Executive Savings Plan (2004 Statement) in order to combine into one plan document the two nonqualified, unfunded, deferred compensation programs maintained by the Employers to defer the receipt of compensation which would otherwise be paid to those employees.  The purpose of this UnitedHealth Group Executive Savings Plan (2019 Statement) is to update and restate the 2004 Statement by incorporating all of the amendments that have previously been adopted to the 2004 Statement, and to make certain other changes, effective as of January 1, 2019.
1.2. Definitions. When the following terms are used herein with initial capital letters, they shall have the following meanings: 
1.2.1. Account - the separate bookkeeping account established for each Participant which represents the separate unfunded and unsecured general obligation of the Employers established with respect to each person who is a Participant in this Plan in accordance with Section 2 and to which are credited the dollar amounts specified in Sections 3, 4 and 5 and from which are subtracted payments made pursuant to Section 9. To the extent necessary to accommodate and effect the distribution elections made by Participants pursuant to Section 9.3 or Section 9.8.1, separate bookkeeping sub-accounts shall be established with respect to each of the several annual forms of distribution elections and pre-selected in-service distribution elections made by Participants. 
1.2.2. Administrative Committee - the UnitedHealth Group Employee Benefits Plans Administrative Committee.
1.2.3. Affiliate - a business entity which is not an Employer but which is part of a “controlled group” with the Employer or under “common control” with an Employer, as those terms are defined in section 414(b) and (c) of the Code (applying an eighty percent (80%) common ownership standard except for purposes of determining whether a Participant has incurred a Separation from Service requiring a distribution of the portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to deferred Base Salary that would otherwise have been paid in 2014 or later, and deferred Incentive Awards and Performance Awards that would otherwise have been paid in 2015 or later, for which purpose a fifty percent (50%) common ownership standard shall be applied in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h)(3)).

SECTION 2
ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE 

2.1. Selection for Participation in the Plan. Only employees who are in an Eligible Grade Level, who are selected for participation in this Plan by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or, for a Section 16 Officer, by the Board of Directors) and who are notified that they are selected for participation shall be eligible to become a Participant in this Plan. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall not select any employee for participation unless the Executive Vice President, Human Capital determines that such employee is a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (as that expression is used in ERISA). 
2.2. Enrollment Requirements. As a condition to participation, each selected employee who is eligible to participate in this Plan as of the first day of a Plan Year shall complete, execute and return to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee an election form prior to the first day of such Plan Year, or such earlier deadline as may be established by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a selected employee who first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan (and all other like-type plans of the Employers and all Affiliates which are required to be aggregated for purposes section 409A of the Code) after the first day of a Plan Year must complete these requirements within thirty (30) days after such employee first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan, or within 

5

such earlier deadline as may be established by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, in his or her sole discretion, in order to participate for such period. In such event, such employee’s participation in this Plan shall commence as soon as administratively feasible after he or she elects to participate in this Plan, and such employee shall not be permitted to defer under this Plan any portion of the employee’s Base Salary or Incentive Award that are paid (or earned) with respect to services performed prior to the employee’s participation commencement date, except to the extent permissible under section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. 
Each selected employee who is eligible to participate in this Plan shall commence participation in this Plan only after the employee has met all enrollment requirements set forth in this Plan Statement and required by Executive Vice President, Human Capital, including returning all required documents to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital within the specified time period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee shall process such Participant’s deferral elections as soon as administratively feasible after such deferral elections are received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee. 
If an employee fails to meet all requirements contained in this Section 2.2 within the period required, that employee shall not be eligible to participate in this Plan during such Plan Year. 
2.3. Special Eligibility Rule For Former Participants. If a Participant terminates employment with the Employer and all Affiliates and such Participant: 
(a)     is subsequently reemployed by an Employer as an Eligible Employee, and 
		
	(b) 
	is selected for participation in this Plan by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or, for a Section 16 Officer, by the Board of Directors), and

(c)     either  
		
	 (i) 
	has been paid all amounts deferred under this Plan (and all other like-type plans of the Employers and all Affiliates which are required to be aggregated for purposes of section 409A of the Code), and on and before the date of the last payment was not eligible to continue (or elect to continue) to participate in this Plan (and all other like-type plans of the Employers and all Affiliates which are required to be aggregated for purposes of section 409A of the Code) for periods after the last payment, or 

		
	 (ii) 
	has not been eligible to participate in this Plan (or any other like-type plan of any Employer or Affiliate which is required to be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of section 409A of the Code) at any time during the twenty-four (24) month period ending on the date such employee is selected for participation in this Plan, other than by the accrual of earnings, 

the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or, for a Section 16 Officer, the Board of Directors) may designate that such employee shall be allowed to reenter the Plan as a Participant as of a fixed prospective date that is other than the first day of a Plan Year so long as that prospective date is within thirty (30) days of selection. Such employee shall be subject to the same enrollment requirements as any other selected employee who first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after the first day of a Plan Year as provided in Section 2.2. A Participant whose employment is transferred to an Affiliate that has not adopted this Plan (or any other like-type plan which is required to be aggregated with this Plan for 

6

purposes of section 409A of the Code) and who otherwise meets the requirements of this Section 2.3 shall be treated as having terminated employment. 
2.4. Special Rule For Certain Employees of Acquired Companies. If an employee of any company that is acquired by an Employer or an Affiliate: 
		
	(a)
	is employed in an Eligible Grade Level,

		
	(b)
	has not been eligible to participate in any account balance deferred compensation plan which is required to be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of section 409A of the Code (other than by the accrual of earnings) at any time during the twenty-four (24) month period ending on the date such employee is selected for participation in this Plan, and

		
	(c)
	is selected for participation in this Plan by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or, for a Section 16 Officer, by the Board of Directors),

the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or, for a Section 16 Officer, the Board of Directors) may designate that such employee shall be allowed to enter the Plan as a Participant as of a fixed prospective date that is other than the first day of a Plan Year so long as that prospective date is within thirty (30) days of selection. Such employee shall be subject to the same enrollment requirements as any other selected employee who first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after the first day of a Plan Year as provided in Section 2.2. 
2.5. Termination of Participation. If an employee selected for participation in this Plan for one Plan Year is not selected for a subsequent Plan Year, no further deferrals shall be made by or for such employee in that subsequent Plan Year. If an employee selected for participation in this Plan ceases to be a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (as that expression is used in ERISA), such employee’s deferral elections shall be cancelled as of the first day of the Plan Year beginning after such employee ceases to be a select group of management or highly compensated employees. In the event that a Participant is no longer eligible to defer compensation under this Plan, the Participant’s Account shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Plan Statement until such time as the Participant’s Account is paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
2.6. Special Rule for Overseas Employees. If an employee is compensated by an Affiliate located outside of the United States, and such compensation is paid outside of the United States (an “Overseas Employee”), such employee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. If a Participant becomes an Overseas Employee, any compensation paid by such Affiliate shall not be included in his or her Incentive Award, Performance Award or Base Salary for purposes of Section 4, and the last sentence of Section 2.5 shall apply to such Participant as if he or she had ceased to be a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees. If an otherwise eligible employee ceases to be an Overseas Employee during a Plan Year, and is or becomes employed within the United States in an Eligible Grade Level, and the employee has not been eligible to participate in the Plan, or any other account balance deferred compensation plan maintained by any Employer or Affiliate (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time during the twenty-four (24) month period ending on the date such employee is selected for this Plan, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or, for a Section 16 Officer, the Board of Directors) may designate that such employee shall be allowed to enter the Plan as a Participant as of fixed prospective date that is not later than thirty (30) days after selection. Such employee who is selected for participation during a Plan Year shall be subject to the same enrollment requirements as any other selected employee who first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after the first day of a Plan Year as provided in Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee who 

7

is compensated both by an Employer located within the United States and an Affiliate located outside of the United States during the same period, may continue to be, or, if otherwise eligible, may become, a Participant, but only compensation paid within the United States shall be included in his or her Incentive Award, Performance Award or Base Salary. For purposes of this Section 2.6, Puerto Rico, and any other territory or possession of the United States that is not subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, shall be considered to be outside of the United States. 
2.7. Treatment of Certain Transferred Participants. Optum Medical Services, P.C. is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, which sponsors the Optum Partner Services Executive Savings Plan (the “Optum ESP”), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for the benefit of Optum Medical Services, P.C., and its respective affiliates, all of which are Affiliates as defined in this Plan. The following rules shall apply to transfers of employment between an Employer and any other Affiliate that occurs during a Plan Year:
		
	(a) 
	If a participant in either this Plan or the Optum ESP is transferred during a Plan Year to the employ of any Employer or Affiliate that has adopted either this Plan or the Optum ESP as of the first day of the Plan Year (the “New Participating Employer”), then the deferral elections made under either this Plan or the Optum ESP shall be applied to compensation paid by the New Participating Employer as follows: 

		
	(i) 
	An election to defer Base Salary for the Plan Year in which such transfer occurs shall be treated as an election to defer the same percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary paid by the New Participating Employer under either this Plan or the Optum ESP for the balance of the Plan Year.  

		
	(ii) 
	An election to defer any incentive compensation paid with respect to a performance period of not more than one year, which performance period either coincides with or is contained with the Plan Year, shall be treated as an election to defer the same percentage of any incentive compensation plan sponsored by the New Participating Employer for a performance period of not more than one year which performance period either coincides with or is contained with the Plan Year, but only if, at the time the participant made the original deferral election he could have made an election to defer such incentive compensation consistent with section 409A (regardless of whether the Plan or Optum ESP would have permitted such an election). 

		
	(iii) 
	If the participant is participating in any long-term incentive plan with a performance period that exceeds one year, and is transferred during such performance period, any election to defer any long-term incentive compensation paid with respect to such performance period, shall be treated as an election to defer the same percentage of any long-term incentive compensation plan sponsored by the New Participating Employer for a performance period that ends  on the same date as the original performance period, but only to the extent, at the time the participant made the original deferral election he could have made an election to defer such incentive compensation consistent with section 409A (regardless of whether the Plan or Optum ESP would have permitted such an election).

		
	(iv) 
	If the participant first became eligible to participate in the Plan or Optum ESP in the Plan Year in which the transfer occurs, and was permitted to make an election because of his initial eligibility, the rules described above shall apply to the remaining portion of the Plan Year, and whether the Employer or Affiliate to which the participant is transferred is a New Participating Employer shall be determined by whether the Employer or Affiliate had adopted either this Plan or the Optum ESP on the date of the participant’s initial eligibility. 

8

		
	(b) 
	Except as otherwise provided in (a), or as otherwise required by Section 409A of the Code, a participant’s deferral election shall not apply to any compensation paid by any Employer or Affiliate other than the Employer or Affiliate by which he was employed at the time the election was made, provided, however, that: 

		
	(i) 
	To the extent any form of incentive compensation with respect to which a Participant has made a deferral election becomes payable after the Participant’s employment has been transferred to another Employer or Affiliate, it shall be deferred as if the Participant had still been employed by an Employer at the time of payment.  

		
	(ii) 
	Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Committee (or, for a Section 16 Officer, the Board of Directors) from permitting an Eligible Employee to make a deferral election following a transfer of employment if such election would otherwise be permitted under Section 4. 

		
	(c) 
	Accounts representing compensation deferred under the Optum ESP of a person whose employment is transferred to an Employer may be transferred to this Plan, and the Account balance of a Participant whose employment is transferred to an Affiliate that participates in the Optum ESP may be transferred to the Optum ESP, in both cases in accordance with procedures, and subject to limitations, established by the Administrative Committee; provided, however, that such transfer shall have no effect on the time or form of payment of the amount transferred, except as otherwise permitted by section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 3
401(K) RESTORATION OPTION PLAN 

The 401(k) Restoration Option Plan was eliminated effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Any amounts deferred under the 401(k) Restoration Option Plan for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2004 and prior to January 1, 2009, and any matching credits on such deferrals shall continue to held in Participants’ Accounts under this Plan and shall be governed by the terms of this Plan Statement until such time as the Accounts are paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

SECTION 4
INCENTIVE DEFERRAL OPTION AND
SALARY DEFERRAL OPTION PLAN 

4.1. Incentive Deferral Option (for Annual Awards). 
4.1.1. Amount of Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer between (and including) 1% and 100% of such Participant’s Incentive Award. To be effective for an Incentive Award paid during a Plan Year, the deferral election must be received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which the Incentive Award is earned. Such election shall be irrevocable for the Plan Year with respect to which it is made once it has been accepted by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. If a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the first day of such Plan Year, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall pro rate the Participant’s deferral election by multiplying the Participant’s Incentive Award by the number of days left in the performance period (i.e., Plan Year) as of the date the Participant’s deferral election is received by Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee, over the total number of days in the performance period. If a Participant receives an in-service distribution for an unforeseeable emergency (pursuant to Section 9.8.2(b)) prior to January 1, 2019, the Participant’s deferral election in effect at the 

9

time of such distribution shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following the date such distribution is made. The Participant may not again elect to defer compensation under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such distribution. If a Participant receives a hardship withdrawal (as defined in Regulation §1.401(k)-1(d)(3)) prior to January 1, 2019, from the UnitedHealth Group 401(k) Savings Plan or any other 401(k) plan maintained by the Employers or an Affiliate, the Participant’s deferral election in effect at the time of such withdrawal shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following the date such withdrawal is made. The Participant may not again elect to defer compensation under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such withdrawal.  
4.1.2. Crediting to Accounts. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall cause to be credited to the Account of each Participant the amount, if any, of such Participant’s voluntary deferrals of any Incentive Awards under Section 4.1.1. Such amount shall be credited as soon as administratively feasible after the day such Incentive Award would otherwise have been paid to the Participant, and shall be fully vested. 
4.1.3. Matching Credits. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall cause to be credited to the Account of each Participant an additional matching amount equal to 50% of the amount credited to such Participant’s Account under Section 4.1.2 above. For this purpose, however, deferrals at a rate exceeding 6% of the Participant’s Incentive Award shall be disregarded. Such matching amounts shall be credited as soon as administratively feasible on or after the day the related deferral of the Incentive Award is credited, and shall be fully vested. 
4.2. Salary Deferral Option. 
4.2.1. Amount of Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer between (and including) 1% and 80% of such Participant’s Base Salary for a Plan Year. To be effective for a Plan Year, the deferral election must be received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee prior to the first day of the Plan Year (or such earlier deadline designated by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital). Such election shall be irrevocable for the Plan Year with respect to which it is made once it has been accepted by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. If a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the first day of such Plan Year, the Participant’s deferral election shall apply with respect to Base Salary paid for services to be performed after the deferral election is received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee. 
If a Participant receives an in-service distribution for an unforeseeable emergency (pursuant to Section 9.8.2(b)) prior to January 1, 2019, the Participant’s deferral election in effect at the time of such distribution shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following the date such distribution is made. The Participant may not again elect to defer Base Salary under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such distribution. If a Participant receives a hardship withdrawal (as defined in Regulation §1.401(k)-1(d)(3)) prior to January 1, 2019, from the UnitedHealth Group 401(k) Savings Plan or any other 401(k) plan maintained by the Employers or an Affiliate, the Participant’s deferral election in effect at the time of such withdrawal shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following the date such withdrawal is made. The Participant may not again elect to defer Base Salary under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such withdrawal.  
4.2.2. Crediting to Accounts. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall cause to be credited to the Account of each Participant the amount, if any, of such Participant’s voluntary deferrals of salary or other pay under Section 4.2.1. Such amount shall be credited as soon as administratively feasible after 

10

the day such salary or other pay would otherwise have been paid to the Participant, and shall be fully vested. 
4.2.3. Matching Credits. Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall cause to be credited to the Account of each Participant an additional matching amount equal to 50% of the amount credited to such Participant’s Account under Section 4.2.2 above. For this purpose, however, deferrals at a rate exceeding 6% of the Participant’s Base Salary shall be disregarded. Such matching amounts shall be credited as soon as administratively feasible on or after the day the related deferral of Base Salary is credited, and shall be fully vested. 
4.3. Performance Award Deferral Option (for Long-Term Awards). 
4.3.1. Amount of Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer between (and including) 1% and 100% of such Participant’s Performance Award. To the extent permitted under section 409A of the Code and related Regulations and guidance, the deferral election must be received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee prior to the first day of the last Plan Year in the performance period (or any later deadline designated by the Executive Vice President which is at least six (6) months before the end of the performance period). Such election shall be irrevocable for the applicable performance period with respect to which it is made once it has been accepted by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. 
If a Participant receives an in-service distribution for an unforeseeable emergency (pursuant to Section 9.8.2(b)) prior to January 1, 2019, the Participant’s deferral election in effect at the time of such distribution shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following the date such distribution is made. The Participant may not again elect to defer all or a portion of a Performance Award under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such distribution. If a Participant receives a hardship withdrawal (as defined in Regulation §1.401(k)-1(d)(3)) prior to January 1, 2019, from the UnitedHealth Group 401(k) Savings Plan or any other 401(k) plan maintained by the Employers or an Affiliate, the Participant’s deferral election in effect at the time of such withdrawal shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following the date such withdrawal is made. The Participant may not again elect to defer all or a portion of a Performance Award under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such withdrawal.  
4.3.2. Crediting to Accounts. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall cause to be credited to the Account of each Participant the amount, if any, of such Participant’s voluntary deferrals of any Performance Awards under Section 4.3.1. Such amount shall be credited as soon as administratively feasible after the day such Performance Award would otherwise have been paid to the Participant, and shall be fully vested. 
4.3.3. No Matching Credits. No matching amounts shall be credited for deferrals of Performance Awards under Section 4.3.1. 
4.4. Employer Discretionary Supplements. Upon written notice to one or more Participants and to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, the CEO (or, for any Section 16 Officer, the Board of Directors) may (but is not required to) determine that additional amounts shall be credited to the Accounts of such Participants. Such notice shall also specify the date of such crediting. Notwithstanding Section 7, such notice may also establish vesting rules for such amounts, in which case separate Accounts shall be established for such amounts for such Participants. 

11

4.5. Limitation on Deferrals. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan Statement, any amount deferred by a Participant from any paycheck shall not exceed the amount that would accommodate current payment of all required withholdings from such paycheck. 

SECTION 5 
CREDITS FROM MEASURING INVESTMENTS 
5.1. Designation of Measuring Investments. Through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, each Participant shall designate the following “Measuring Investments,” which shall be used to determine the value of such Participant’s Account (until changed as provided herein): 
		
	(a)
	One or more Measuring Investments for the current Account balance, and

		
	(b)
	One or more Measuring Investments for amounts that are credited to the Account in the future.

The Accounts and such Measuring Investments are specified solely as a device for computing the amount of benefits to be paid by the Employers under the Plan, and the Employers are not required to purchase such investments. The Measuring Investments shall be listed in the enrollment guide for the Plan. Participants may change the Measuring Investment designations for their Accounts as of any business date of the Plan Year. 
5.2. UnitedHealth Group Stock as Measuring Investment. The Board of Directors may (but shall not be required to) determine that the Measuring Investments available for election by Participants will include deemed (but not actual) investment in the common stock of UnitedHealth Group, valued at the closing price of UnitedHealth Group common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on the applicable Valuation Date. 
5.3. Operational Rules for Measuring Investments. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall adopt rules specifying the Measuring Investments, the circumstances under which a particular Measuring Investment may be elected, or shall be automatically utilized, the minimum or maximum amount or percentage of an Account which may be allocated to a Measuring Investment, the procedures for making or changing Measuring Investment elections, the extent (if any) to which Beneficiaries of deceased Participants may make Measuring Investment elections and the effect of a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s failure to make an effective Measuring Investment election with respect to all or any portion of an Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rules or revision with respect to deemed investment in the common stock of UnitedHealth Group elections by a Section 16 Officer shall be made only by the Board of Directors. 

SECTION 6 
OPERATIONAL RULES 

6.1. Operational Rules for Deferrals. Except as otherwise determined by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, a Participant’s election to defer compensation under Section 4 shall be “evergreen” and shall remain in effect for subsequent Plan Years unless, prior to such Plan Year, the election is changed or terminated, the Participant is not selected for participation for that subsequent Plan Year, or the Participant’s election was cancelled by reason of the Participant receiving an in-service distribution before the Effective Date for an unforeseeable emergency or a hardship withdrawal from a 401(k) plan. If a Participant’s pay after deferrals is not sufficient to cover pre-tax and after-tax benefit payroll 

12

deductions, and tax or other payroll withholding requirements, the Participant’s deferrals shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet such requirements. 
6.2. Establishment of Accounts. There shall be established for each Participant an unfunded, bookkeeping Account. 
6.3. Adjustment of Accounts. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall cause the value of each Account to be increased (or decreased) from time to time for additions distributions, investment gains (or losses) and expenses charged to the Account. 
6.4. Accounting Rules. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital may adopt (and revise) accounting rules for adjustment of the Accounts. 

SECTION 7
VESTING OF ACCOUNTS 

The Account of each Participant shall be fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable at all times (except for any special vesting rules that apply to Employers discretionary supplements under Section 4.4). 

SECTION 8
SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION 

Participants and Beneficiaries shall have no power to transfer any interest in an Account nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary have any power to anticipate, alienate, dispose of, pledge or encumber the same while it is in the possession or control of the Employers, nor shall the Executive Vice President, Human Capital recognize any assignment thereof, either in whole or in part, nor shall the Account be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution following judgment or other legal process (including without limitation any domestic relations order, whether or not a “qualified domestic relations order” under section 414(p) of the Code and section 206(d) of ERISA) before the Account is distributed to the Participant or Beneficiary. 
The power to designate Beneficiaries to receive the Account of a Participant in the event of such Participant’s death shall not permit or be construed to permit such power or right to be exercised by the Participant so as thereby to anticipate, pledge, mortgage or encumber such Participant’s Account or any part thereof. Any attempt by a Participant to so exercise said power in violation of this provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be disregarded by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. 

SECTION 9
DISTRIBUTIONS 

9.1. Time of Distribution to Participant. 
9.1.1. General Rule. Upon Participant’s Separation from Service, or upon a Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020, the Employer shall commence payment of such Participant’s Account (reduced by the amount of any applicable payroll, withholding and other taxes) in the form and at the time designated by the Participant pursuant to Section 9.3.  Effective January 1, 2020, payment of the Participant’s Account will not be made upon Disability unless the Participant has had a Separation from Service.

13

9.1.2. No Application for Distribution Required. A Participant’s Account shall be distributed automatically following the Participant’s Separation from Service, or the Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020. A Participant shall not be required to apply for distribution. 
9.1.3. Code § 162(m) Delay. If the Executive Vice President, Human Capital reasonably determines that if a Participant’s Account were distributed at the time otherwise provided in this Section 9, deduction of all or a portion of such distribution would not be permitted due to the application of section 162(m) of the Code (as in effect prior to January 1, 2018), distribution of such portion shall be deferred until the first year in which the Executive Vice President, Human Capital reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of section 162(m); provided that distributions of all such amounts under the Plan, or any other plan that must be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of section 409A of the Code, are so delayed.  Where the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment will be considered a payment upon a separation from service for purposes of Section 9.2(e). No election may be provided to the service provider with respect to the timing of the payment under this Section 9.1.3.  
9.1.4. Effect of Reemployment. If a Participant is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliate after Separation from Service, distribution of the Participant's Account shall be made in the manner described in Section 9.2 and shall not be suspended as a result of the Participant's reemployment.
9.2. Form of Distribution. Distribution of the Participant’s Account shall be made in whichever of the following forms as the Participant shall have designated at the time of his or her enrollment (as described in Section 9.3): 
		
	(a)
	Lump Sum. In the form of a single lump sum. The amount of such distribution shall be determined as soon as administratively feasible as of a Valuation Date following the Plan Year in which the Participant experienced a Separation from Service, or experienced a Disability prior to January 1, 2020, and shall be actually paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after such determination (but not later than the last day of the February following such Plan Year). 

		
	(b)
	Installments. In the form of a series of five (5) or ten (10) annual installments. If a Participant elects to receive payments in the form of installments, then pursuant to section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder (and for purposes of the re-election provisions in Section 9.4.3), the series of installment payments shall be treated as the entitlement to a single payment (rather than a series of separate payments).

		
	(i)
	General Rule. The amount of the first installment will be determined as soon as administratively feasible as of a Valuation Date following the Plan Year in which the Participant experienced a Separation from Service, or experienced a Disability prior to January 1, 2020, and shall be actually paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after such determination (but not later than the last day of the February following such Plan Year). The amount of future installments will be determined as soon as administratively feasible following the end of each later Plan Year. The amount of each installment shall be determined by dividing the Account balance as of the Valuation Date as of which the installment is being paid, by the number of remaining installment payments to be made (including the payment being determined). Such installments shall be actually paid as soon as practicable after each such determination (but not later than the last day of the February following such Plan Year). 

14

		
	(ii)
	Exception for Small Amounts. This Section 9.2(b)(ii) shall apply only if the first installment is payable on or before December 31, 2018. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the other paragraphs of this Section 9, if:

		
	(A)
	at the time of the payment of the first installment of any distribution of installments from this Plan or any other account balance deferred compensation plan of Employers or an Affiliate, the combined value of (1) the Participant’s Account in this Plan as of the Valuation Date as of which such first installment is to be determined and (2) the Participant’s post-2004 accounts in all other account balance deferred compensation plans of the Employers or an Affiliate is determined to be equal to or less than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code for the calendar year in which such first installment is paid ($18,500 in 2018), and

		
	(B)
	all such other account balance deferred compensation plans in which the Participant has an account provide for a mandatory small amount cashout of elective deferrals on the same basis as this Section 9.2(b)(ii), 

then, the portion of the Participant’s Account in this Plan which is payable in the form of installments shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum as soon as practicable after such Valuation Date (but not later than the last day of the February following such Plan Year).  
		
	(c)
	Five (5) Year Delay, Then Lump Sum. In the form of a single lump sum following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or the Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020. The amount of such distribution shall be determined as soon as administratively feasible as of a Valuation Date following the Plan Year in which occurs the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or the Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020. Actual distribution shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after such determination (but not later than the last day of the February following the Plan Year in which occurs such fifth (5th) anniversary). 

		
	(d)
	Ten (10) Year Delay, Then Lump Sum. In the form of a single lump sum following the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or the Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020. The amount of such distribution shall be determined as soon as administratively feasible as of a Valuation Date following the Plan Year in which occurs the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or the Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020. Actual distribution shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after such determination (but not later than the last day of the February following the Plan Year in which occurs such tenth (10th) anniversary).

		
	(e)
	Six-Month Delay. If, however, the Participant is a Specified Employee on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, distribution shall be delayed until the first business day of the seventh month following the month in which occurs the Participant’s Separation from Service (or upon the death of the Participant, if earlier).  All amounts that would otherwise have been paid prior to such date shall be paid as soon as practicable after such date, and the timing of payment of any subsequent installments shall be determined without regard to this Section 9.2(e).

15

9.3. Election of Form of Distribution by Participant. 
9.3.1. Initial Enrollment. Through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, each Participant shall elect at the time of initial enrollment in the Plan whether distribution shall be made (as described in Section 9.2) in either (i) an immediate lump sum, (ii) five (5) or ten (10) annual installments, or (iii) a delayed lump sum following the fifth (5th) or tenth (10th) anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or the Participant’s Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020. Such election shall apply with respect to distribution of that portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferrals and matching credits (if any) for the Participant’s initial year of participation in the Plan and any investment gains or losses on such deferrals and matching credits (if any). Subject to Section 9.3.3, an initial distribution election shall remain in effect for subsequent Plan Years. 
9.3.2. Default Election of Form of Distribution. If a Participant fails to elect a form of distribution at the time of initial enrollment in the Plan, such Participant shall be deemed to have elected that distribution be made in an immediate lump sum as described in Section 9.2(a). 
9.3.3. Separate Distribution Elections Permitted for Subsequent Plan Years. An initial or default distribution election made by a Participant shall remain in effect for subsequent Plan Years unless, prior to a subsequent Plan Year, the Participant elects a different form of distribution for that portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferrals and matching credits (if any) for such subsequent Plan Year and any investment gains or losses on such deferrals and matching credits (if any). Through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, a Participant may elect a different form of distribution for that portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferrals and matching credits (if any) for a subsequent Plan Year. To be effective for deferrals and matching credits (if any) for a Plan Year, the new distribution election must be received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee prior to the first day of the Plan Year (or such earlier deadline designated by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital). If a Participant files a new distribution election with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital pursuant to this Section 9.3.3, such distribution election shall remain in effect for all subsequent Plan Years unless, prior to a subsequent Plan Year, the Participant files another distribution election with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital electing a different form of distribution for that portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferrals and matching credits (if any) for such subsequent Plan Year and any subsequent investment gains or losses on such deferrals and matching credits (if any). 
9.3.4. Re-Election of Form of Distribution. Through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, the Participant may elect from time to time to change the form of payment for a specified portion of the Participant’s Account or to delay payment of a specified portion of the Participant’s Account. Each subsequent distribution election shall be effective as to the specified portion of the Participant’s Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any new distribution election shall be disregarded as if it had never been filed (and the prior distribution election shall be given effect) unless the distribution election: 
		
	(a)
	is filed by a Participant while employed by the Employer or an Affiliate, 

		
	(b)
	is filed with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital at least twelve (12) months before the Participant’s Separation from Service, Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020, or death,

16

		
	(c)
	has the effect of delaying payment of the lump sum (or, in the case of installments which are treated as the entitlement to a single payment (and not a series of separate payments), the initial commencement date) under the prior election for at least five (5) years, and

		
	(d)
	shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date it is filed with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital.

A Participant may not make more than two (2) elections pursuant to this Section 9.3.4 with respect to the same portion of the Participant’s Account.  No spouse, former spouse, Beneficiary or other person shall have any right to participate in the Participant’s decision to revise distribution elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall interpret all provisions of this Plan relating to the change of any distribution election in a manner that is consistent with section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. Accordingly, if the Executive Vice President, Human Capital determines that a requested revision to a distribution election is inconsistent with section 409A of the Code or other applicable tax law, the request shall not be effective. 
9.4. Payment to Beneficiary Upon Death of Participant. 
9.4.1. Payment to Beneficiary When Death Occurs Before Separation from Service. If a Participant dies before Separation from Service or Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020, such Participant’s Beneficiary will receive payment of the Participant’s Account at the same time and in the same form the Participant would have received if the Participant had experienced a Separation from Service on the date of death. 
9.4.2. Payment to Beneficiary When Death Occurs After Separation from Service. If a Participant dies after a Separation from Service, or Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive distribution of the Participant’s Account at the same time and in the same form the Participant would have received it if the Participant had survived. 
9.4.3. Beneficiary Not Required to Apply for Distribution. Distribution shall be made to the Beneficiary when the Administrative Committee receives notice of the Participant’s death, without the requirement of an application. 
9.4.4. Election of Measuring Investments by Beneficiaries. A Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall generally have the same rights to designate Measuring Investments for the Participant’s Account that Participants have under Section 5. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital may adopt (and revise) rules to govern designations of Measuring Investments by Beneficiaries. Unless changed by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, the following rules shall apply: 
		
	(a)
	The Measuring Investments for the Account of a deceased Participant shall not be changed until the Beneficiary so determines.

		
	(b)
	If a deceased Participant has more than one Beneficiary, the unanimous consent of all Beneficiaries shall be required to change Measuring Investments for such Participant’s Account.

9.5. Designation of Beneficiaries. 
9.5.1. Right to Designate. Each Participant may designate, upon forms to be furnished by and filed with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital (or through other means approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital), one or more primary Beneficiaries or alternative Beneficiaries to receive all 

17

or a specified part of such Participant’s Account in the event of such Participant’s death. The Participant may change or revoke any such designation from time to time without notice to or consent from any Beneficiary. No such designation, change or revocation shall be effective unless executed by the Participant and received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital during the Participant’s lifetime. 
9.5.2. Failure of Designation. If a Participant: 
		
	(a)
	fails to designate a Beneficiary,

		
	(b)
	designates a Beneficiary and thereafter revokes such designation without naming another Beneficiary, or

		
	(c)
	designates one or more Beneficiaries and all such Beneficiaries so designated fail to survive the Participant,

such Participant’s Account, or the part thereof as to which such Participant’s designation fails, as the case may be, shall be payable to the first class of the following classes of automatic Beneficiaries in which a member survives the Participant and (except in the case of surviving issue) in equal shares if there is more than one member in such class surviving the Participant: 
(i)    Participant’s surviving spouse;
(ii)    Participant’s surviving issue per stirpes and not per capita;
(iii)    Participant’s surviving parents;
(iv)    Participant’s surviving brothers and sisters; and
(v)    Representative of Participant’s estate.
9.5.3. Disclaimers by Beneficiaries. A Beneficiary entitled to a distribution of all or a portion of a deceased Participant’s Account may disclaim an interest therein subject to the following requirements. To be eligible to disclaim, a Beneficiary must be a natural person, must not have received a distribution of all or any portion of the Account at the time such disclaimer is executed and delivered, and must have attained at least age twenty-one (21) years as of the date of the Participant’s death. Any disclaimer must be in writing and must be executed personally by the Beneficiary before a notary public. A disclaimer shall state that the Beneficiary’s entire interest in the undistributed Account is disclaimed or shall specify what portion thereof is disclaimed. To be effective, duplicate original executed copies of the disclaimer must be both executed and actually delivered to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital after the date of the Participant’s death but not later than nine (9) months after the date of the Participant’s death. A disclaimer shall be irrevocable when delivered to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. A disclaimer shall be considered to be delivered to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital only when actually received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall be the sole judge of the content, interpretation and validity of a purported disclaimer. Upon the filing of a valid disclaimer, the Beneficiary shall be considered not to have survived the Participant as to the interest disclaimed. A disclaimer by a Beneficiary shall not be considered to be a transfer of an interest in violation of any other provisions under this Plan. No other form of attempted disclaimer shall be recognized by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital. 

18

9.5.4. Definitions. When used herein and, unless the Participant has otherwise specified in the Participant’s Beneficiary designation, when used in a Beneficiary designation, “issue” means all persons who are lineal descendants of the person whose issue are referred to, subject to the following: 
		
	(a)
	a legally adopted child and the adopted child’s lineal descendants always shall be lineal descendants of each adoptive parent (and of each adoptive parent’s lineal ancestors);

		
	(b)
	a legally adopted child and the adopted child’s lineal descendants never shall be lineal descendants of any former parent whose parental rights were terminated by the adoption (or of that former parent’s lineal ancestors); except that if, after a child’s parent has died, the child is legally adopted by a stepparent who is the spouse of the child’s surviving parent, the child and the child’s lineal descendants shall remain lineal descendants of the deceased parent (and the deceased parent’s lineal ancestors);

		
	(c)
	if the person (or a lineal descendant of the person) whose issue are referred to is the parent of a child (or is treated as such under applicable law) but never received the child into that parent’s home and never openly held out the child as that parent’s child (unless doing so was precluded solely by death), then neither the child nor the child’s lineal descendants shall be issue of the person.

“Child” means an issue of the first generation; “per stirpes” means in equal shares among living children of the person whose issue are referred to and the issue (taken collectively) of each deceased child of such person, with such issue taking by right of representation of such deceased child; and “survive” and “surviving” mean living after the death of the Participant. 
9.5.5. Special Rules. Unless the Participant has otherwise specified in the Participant’s Beneficiary designation, the following rules shall apply: 
		
	(a)
	If there is not sufficient evidence that a Beneficiary was living at the time of the death of the Participant, it shall be deemed that the Beneficiary was not living at the time of the death of the Participant.

		
	(b)
	The automatic Beneficiaries specified in Section 9.5.2 and the Beneficiaries designated by the Participant shall become fixed at the time of the Participant’s death so that, if a Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the receipt of all payments due such Beneficiary hereunder, such remaining payments shall be payable to the representative of such Beneficiary’s estate.

		
	(c)
	If the Participant designates as a Beneficiary the person who is the Participant’s spouse on the date of the designation, either by name or by relationship, or both, the dissolution, annulment or other legal termination of the marriage between the Participant and such person shall automatically revoke such designation. (The foregoing shall not prevent the Participant from designating a former spouse as a Beneficiary on a form executed by the Participant and received by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital after the date of the legal termination of the marriage between the Participant and such former spouse, and during the Participant’s lifetime.)

		
	(d)
	Any designation of a nonspouse Beneficiary by name that is accompanied by a description of relationship to the Participant shall be given effect without regard to whether the relationship to the Participant exists either then or at the Participant’s death.

19

		
	(e)
	Any designation of a Beneficiary only by statement of relationship to the Participant shall be effective only to designate the person or persons standing in such relationship to the Participant at the Participant’s death.

The Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall be the sole judge of the content, interpretation and validity of a purported Beneficiary designation. 
9.6. Death Prior to Full Distribution. If, at the death of the Participant, any payment to the Participant was due or otherwise pending but not actually paid, the amount of such payment shall be included in the Account which is payable to the Beneficiary (and shall not be paid to the Participant’s estate). 
9.7. Facility of Payment. In case of minority, incapacity or legal disability of a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to receive any distribution under this Plan, payment shall be made, if the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall be advised of the existence of such condition: 
		
	(a)
	to the court-appointed guardian or conservator of such Participant or Beneficiary, or

		
	(b)
	if there is no court-appointed guardian or conservator, to the lawfully authorized representative of the Participant or Beneficiary (and the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, in his or her sole discretion, shall determine whether a person is a lawfully authorized representative for this purpose), or

		
	(c)
	to an institution entrusted with the care or maintenance of the incapacitated or disabled Participant or Beneficiary, provided such institution has satisfied the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, in his or her sole discretion, that the payment will be used for the best interest and assist in the care of such Participant or Beneficiary, and provided further, that no prior claim for said payment has been made by a person described in (a) or (b) above.

Any payment made in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section shall constitute a complete discharge of any liability or obligation of the Employers therefor. 
9.8. In-Service Distributions. 
9.8.1. Pre-Selected In-Service Distributions. Each Participant shall have the opportunity, when enrolling in the Plan for each Plan Year, to elect one (1) or more pre-selected in-service distribution dates for the total amount of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferral and matching credits (if any) for such Plan Year and any subsequent investment gains of losses on such deferrals and matching credits (if any), subject to the following rules: 
		
	(a)
	Such election shall be made through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital.

		
	(b)
	No such distribution shall be made before January 1 of the calendar year that follows the third full Plan Year after the Participant was first eligible to elect a pre-selected in-service distribution from that portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferrals and matching credits (if any) for such Plan Year and any subsequent investment gains or losses on such amounts (e.g., the earliest pre-selected in-service distribution date for any deferrals made in 2004 is January 1, 2007).

		
	(c)
	A Participant may receive more than one (1) pre-selected in-service distribution in any Plan Year but only if each distribution is attributable to deferrals and matching credits for different Plan 

20

Years. Only one (1) pre-selected in-service distribution may be made in any Plan Year from that portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to deferrals and matching credits (if any) for the same Plan Year.
		
	(d)
	A Participant who elects a pre-selected in-service distribution date and subsequently experiences a Separation from Service, or experiences a Disability prior to January 1, 2020, will receive such in-service distribution, if the in-service distribution date is prior to the distribution of the Participant’s total Account.

		
	(e)
	Through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, the Participant may elect to postpone any pre-selected in-service distribution for at least five (5) years. A pre-selected in-service distribution may be postponed only twice. The Participant must file the election with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital at least twelve (12) months before the original scheduled date of distribution. Such election shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date it is filed with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital.

		
	(f)
	Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, a Participant may not cancel or make any change to the time or form of payment of a pre-selected in-service distribution.

		
	(g)
	The distribution amount shall be determined as soon as administratively feasible as of a Valuation Date on or after the pre-selected distribution date and shall be actually paid as soon as practicable after such determination.

9.8.2. In-Service Distribution for Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant who has incurred an unforeseeable emergency may request an in-service distribution while employed from the Participant’s Account if the Executive Vice President, Human Capital determines that such distribution is for one of the purposes described in (b) below and the conditions in (b) below have been satisfied. 
		
	(a)
	Election. A Participant may elect in writing to receive distribution of all or a portion of the Participant’s Account prior to Separation from Service, or Disability occurring prior to January 1, 2020, to alleviate an unforeseeable emergency (as defined in (b) below). A Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may also request an early distribution for an unforeseeable emergency.

		
	(b)
	Unforeseeable Emergency Defined. For purposes of this Section, an “unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from: 

		
	(i)
	an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the Participant’s Beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in section 152 of the Code, without regard to sections 152(b)(1), 152(b)(2) and 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code), 

		
	(ii)
	the loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or

		
	(iii)
	other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable emergency circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. 

Whether a Participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency will be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances. If a severe financial hardship is or may be relieved either (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship),  (iii) prior to January 1, 2019, by cessation of deferrals under this Plan (at the 

21

earliest possible date otherwise permitted under this Plan) or any 401(k) plan, then the hardship shall not constitute an unforeseeable emergency for purposes of this Plan. If a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant requests an early distribution for an unforeseeable emergency, then the references in this definition to “Participant” shall be deemed to be references to such Beneficiary. 
		
	(c)
	Distribution Amount. The amount of such distribution is limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency, taking into account any tax payable upon the distribution. The amount of such distribution shall be determined as soon as administratively feasible following the receipt and approval of the request by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital or his or her designee and shall be actually paid as soon as administratively practicable after such determination.  If the Participant has elected different times or forms of payment for deferrals from different Plan Years, the allocation of the distribution among Plan Years shall be as determined by the Administrator.

		
	(d)
	Suspension Rule. If a Participant receives a distribution due to an unforeseeable emergency (under this Plan or the UnitedHealth Group Legacy Executive Savings Plan) prior to January 1, 2019, the Participant’s deferrals under Sections 3 and 4 will cease as soon as administratively practicable following the date such distribution is made.  The Participant may not again elect to defer compensation under this Plan until the enrollment period for the Plan Year that ends at least six (6) months after such distribution.

9.9. Distributions in Cash. All distributions from this Plan shall be made in cash. 
9.10 Rule Governing Distribution Elections.  The Administrative Committee may make, and revise from time to time, rules and procedures governing the election of distributions, which rules and procedures may limit the right of Participants or Beneficiaries to make and revise such elections.  No Participant or Beneficiary shall be considered to have a vested right in the ability to make or revise elections governing the time or form of distribution.

SECTION 10 
FUNDING OF PLAN 

10.1. Unfunded Plan. The obligation of any Employer to make payments under the Plan constitutes only the unsecured (but legally enforceable) promises of that Employer to make such payments. No Participant shall have any lien, prior claim or other security interest in any property of any Employer. The Employers shall have no obligation to establish or maintain any fund, trust or account (other than a bookkeeping account) for the purpose of funding or paying the benefits promised under the Plan. If such a fund, trust or account is established, the property therein that is allocable to a particular Employer shall remain the sole and exclusive property of that Employer. The Employers shall be obligated to pay the cost of the Plan out of their general assets. All references to accounts, accruals, gains, losses, income, expenses, payments, custodial funds and the like are included merely for the purpose of measuring the obligation of the Employers to Participants in the Plan and shall not be construed to impose on the Employers the obligation to create any separate fund for purposes of the Plan. 
10.2. Corporate Obligation. Neither any officer of any Employer nor the Executive Vice President, Human Capital in any way secures or guarantees the payment of any benefit or amount which may become due and payable hereunder to or with respect to any Participant. Each Participant and other person entitled at any time to payments hereunder shall look solely to the assets of such Participant’s Employer for such payments as an unsecured, general creditor. After benefits have been paid to or with respect to a Participant and such payment purports to cover in full the benefit hereunder, such former 

22

Participant or other person or persons, as the case may be, shall have no further right or interest in any other Plan assets. No person shall be under any liability or responsibility for failure to effect any of the objectives or purposes of the Plan by reason of the insolvency of any of the Employers. 

SECTION 11
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

11.1. Amendment and Termination. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors may unilaterally amend the Plan Statement prospectively, retroactively or both, at any time and for any reason deemed sufficient by it without notice to any person affected by this Plan and the Board of Directors may terminate this Plan both with regard to persons receiving benefits and persons expecting to receive benefits in the future; provided, however, that: 
		
	(a)
	No Reduction or Delay. The benefit, if any, payable to or with respect to a Participant, whether or not the Participant has had a Separation from Service, or has had a Disability prior to January 1, 2020, as of the effective date of such amendment, shall not be, without the written consent of the Participant, diminished or delayed by such amendment.

		
	(b)
	Cash Lump Sum Payment. To the extent permissible under section 409A of the Code and related treasury regulations and guidance, if the Board of Directors terminates the Plan completely with respect to all Participants, the Board shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by Participants, to immediately pay all benefits in a lump sum following such Plan termination.

11.2. Special Rule for Section 16 Officers. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan Statement to the contrary, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital may adopt rules to facilitate compliance with the rules and requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which rules may limit rights under this Plan for Section 16 Officers. 
11.3. No Oral Amendments. No modification of the terms of the Plan Statement or termination of this Plan shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed on behalf of the Board of Directors by a person authorized to execute such writing.

11.4. Plan Binding on Successors. UnitedHealth Group shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of UnitedHealth Group), by agreement, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan Statement in the same manner and to the same extent that UnitedHealth Group would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. 
11.5. Certain Amendments. The Executive Vice President, Human Capital may unilaterally amend the Plan Statement to the same extent, and subject to the same limitations, as the Compensation and Human Resources Committee pursuant to Section 11.1; provided, however, that the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall not adopt any amendment that would materially increase the cost of the Plan, or that is required to be adopted by the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Human Resources Committee in order to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The determination by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital that he or she is authorized to adopt an amendment shall be presumed correct and any such amendment 

23

adopted by Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall be binding on all employees, Participants, Beneficiaries, and other persons claiming a benefit under the Plan.

The rules of section 3121(v) and section 3306(r)(2) of the Code shall apply to this Plan. The rules of section 409A of the Code shall apply to this Plan to the extent applicable and this Plan Statement shall be construed and administered accordingly. It is expressly intended that for purposes of section 409A of the Code this Plan be considered an account balance plan that consists of amounts deferred at the election of the service provider and amounts deferred other than at the election of the service provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Employer nor any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates shall be obligated, directly or indirectly, to any Participant or any other person for any taxes, penalties, interest or like amounts that may be imposed on the Participant or other person on account of any amounts under this Plan or on account of any failure to comply with any Code section. 
14.1.4. Securities Laws Compliance. If any security of UnitedHealth Group is offered as a Measuring Investment under the Plan, then decisions assigned in this Plan Statement to the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall instead by made by the Board of Directors to the extent any such decision could affect the interest of any Section 16 Officer in securities of UnitedHealth Group, including without limitation any change in Valuation Dates. 
14.1.5. References to Laws. Any reference in the Plan Statement to a statute or regulation shall be considered also to mean and refer to any subsequent amendment or replacement of that statute or regulation.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan Statement or any election or designation made under the Plan, any potential Beneficiary who feloniously and intentionally kills a Participant shall be deemed for all purposes of the Plan and all elections and designations made under the Plan to have died before such Participant. A final judgment of conviction of felonious and intentional killing is conclusive for this purpose. In the absence of a conviction of felonious and intentional killing, the Executive Vice President, Human Capital shall determine whether the killing was felonious and intentional for this purpose.
