Executive may be employed by ESHC or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities, and such employment shall be governed by this Agreement. 

2.2 Term. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Sections 4.1 through 4.5 of this Agreement, the term of Executive’s employment
under this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and continues through March 31, [    ] (the “Initial Employment Period”). On April 1 of each year, commencing with April 1, [    ],
and on each subsequent April 1 thereafter (each, an “Anniversary Date”), this Agreement shall be extended automatically at such time for an additional twelve (12) month period or until such earlier termination pursuant to
Sections 4.1 through 4.5 of this Agreement (each, a “Renewal Period”) unless either party hereto delivers written notice in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof to the other party hereto at least 90 days prior to such Anniversary Date
of his, her or its desire not to renew this Agreement for an additional Renewal Period (e.g. subject to the terms hereof, assuming an April 1 Anniversary Date, and an employment period (Initial or Renewal) of April 1, 2014 through
March 31, 2015, if either party gives proper notice at least 90 days prior to April 1, 2015 then the Agreement shall terminate as of March 31, 2015, but if neither party gives proper notice at least 90 days prior to April 1, 2015
then the Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional Renewal Period of April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016). The Initial Employment Period and any Renewal Periods, if any, shall constitute the “Employment Period” for
purposes of this Agreement. If there are no Renewal Periods, then the Employment Period shall have the same meaning as Initial 

  
 5 

 
Employment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the Employment Period shall automatically extend for an additional number of months such that twenty-four
(24) months remain in the Employment Period from the date of the Change in Control. Except as set forth in Section 7.1, upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company in accordance with the terms hereof or upon
termination of the Initial Employment Period or the Employment Period without extension thereof, this Agreement shall terminate and no longer be of any force or effect. 

2.3 Position and Duties. Executive shall hold the position of [    ] or such other title as the Company may ascribe
to that position, or such other position of relatively equivalent responsibility and authority to which the Company may assign Executive, and shall report to the President of the Company or such other executive officer of the Company as designated
by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall devote Executive’s best efforts and Executive’s full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of
illness or other incapacity) to the business affairs of the Company. Executive shall perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the best of Executive’s abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner.
Nothing herein shall preclude Executive from, (a) subject to the prior written consent of the Board, or an appropriate committee of the Board, serving on any for-profit corporate or governmental board of directors (b) serving on the board
of, or working for, any charitable, not-for-profit or community organization, (c) pursuing Executive’s personal, financial and legal affairs, or (d) pursuing any other activity; provided, that Executive shall not engage in any
other business, profession, occupation or other activity, for compensation or otherwise, which would violate the provisions of Section 5.1 or would, in each case, and in the aggregate, otherwise conflict or interfere with the performance of
Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Board or an appropriate committee of the Board. 

ARTICLE III 
 COMPENSATION AND
BENEFITS 
 3.1 Annual Base Salary. Effective as of the Effective Date and during the Employment Period following the Effective Date,
the Company shall pay Executive a base salary (“Annual Base Salary”) at the annual rate of [    ] Dollars ($[    ]), which shall be payable in regular installments in accordance with the
Company’s usual payroll practices. Executive shall be eligible for such increases in Executive’s Annual Base Salary, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee; provided, that
any such increase shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to Executive under this Agreement. The term “Annual Base Salary” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Annual Base Salary as in effect from time to time
during the Employment Period. Executive’s Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase without Executive’s express written consent. 

3.2 Annual Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Annual Bonus Program. The size of
Executive’s bonus opportunity for any calendar year shall be no less than [    ] Percent ([ ]%) of Executive’s Annual Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) for any calendar year, pro-rated for any modification
during the year. Executive shall be eligible for minimum Target Bonus opportunity increases, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee. Once increased, any such amount shall be the new
minimum Target Bonus opportunity and “Target Bonus” under the Agreement. The amount and terms of Executive’s participation in the Annual Bonus Program shall be determined based on the terms and conditions of the Annual Bonus Program
(as approved at the sole discretion of the Committee and the Board), subject to adjustment as described therein, and in accordance with any bonus award agreement thereunder. Executive’s Annual Bonus for the year of hire shall be based on
Executive’s Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Effective Date and pro-rated based on the number of days the Executive is employed with the Company during such calendar year. 

3.3 Participation in Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s
employee benefit plans (other than bonus and incentive plans) as in effect from time to time, on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to similarly situated senior executives of the Company. 

3.4 Restricted Stock, Stock Options and Other Equity Awards and Deferred Compensation. Executive may receive restricted stock, stock
options and other equity awards and deferred compensation, to the extent determined by the Company, the Board or the Committee, as applicable, from time to time. The terms of any such award shall be documented in a separate award notice or
agreement.

3.6 Perquisites. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive such perquisites and fringe benefits which
similarly situated senior executives of the Company are entitled to receive and such other perquisites which are suitable to the character of Executive’s position with the Company and adequate for the performance of Executive’s duties
hereunder as determined by the Company from time to time. 
 ARTICLE IV 

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

4.1 Termination by the Company for Cause; Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason or Retirement. If the Employment Period
and Executive’s employment under this Agreement are terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive other than for Good Reason or Retirement, prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to
receive: 
 (a) The Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date; 

(b) Reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive in accordance with Company policy prior

 (c) Such employee benefits, if any, to which Executive may be entitled under the employee
benefit plans of the Company, including rights with respect to any restricted stock, stock option and other equity awards or any deferred compensation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, award, agreement or notice, if
relevant (the amounts described in clauses (a) through (c) being referred to as the “Accrued Rights”). The Accrued Rights shall not include any bonus payments in connection with any bonus plan, policy, practice, program or award.

 Following such termination of Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to this Section 4.1, Executive shall have no further rights to any
compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Notice of Termination or a Notice of Retirement (as applicable) with respect to a termination other than a termination by the Company under this
Section 4.1, the Company may, at any time on or prior to the Termination Date, exercise its right to terminate the Employment Period and Executive’s employment for Cause, and, upon the proper exercise of such right, any other purported
termination (including a purported Retirement) shall be null and void, and the terms of this Section 4.1 shall apply. In addition, notwithstanding the delivery of a Notice of Retirement by Executive, if the Employment Period and
Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by Executive other than for Good Reason prior to the proposed effective date set forth in such Notice of Retirement, such purported Retirement (and the related Notice of Retirement)
shall be null and void, and the terms of this Section 4.1 shall apply. 
 4.2 Termination by the Company Other Than for Cause or
Disability; Termination by Executive for Good Reason. 
 (a) If the Employment Period and Executive’s employment
under this Agreement is terminated by the Company prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period other than for Cause or Disability, or Executive terminates Executive’s employment prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment
Period for Good Reason, in either case, prior to a Change in Control or following the two-year period following a Change in Control, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 

(i) The Accrued Rights; 

(ii) Any Annual Bonus earned for a previously completed fiscal year but unpaid as of the Termination Date, which Annual Bonus
shall be payable solely to the extent the applicable bonus payout is approved by the Committee; 

  
 7 

 (iii) A Severance Benefit pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in
Section 4.2(c) below; 
 (iv) An amount (to the extent such amount is approved for payout by the Committee and the Board
in their sole discretion) equal to the Annual Bonus that Executive would have been entitled to receive for the year in which the Termination Date occurs (the “Termination Year”) had Executive remained employed through the end of such year,
which amount, determined based on the Company’s actual performance for such year relative to the performance goals applicable to Executive, shall be prorated for the portion of the Termination Year in which Executive was employed by the Company
(the “Pro Rata Bonus”) and shall be payable in a lump sum at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives under the Annual Bonus Program, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the Termination Year;
and 
 (v) A payment from the Company in monthly installments, beginning on the first day of the first month following the
Termination Date (subject to the six-month delay described below), in an amount equal to the cost of continuing medical, dental, vision and EAP coverage under the Company’s medical, dental, vision and EAP programs under COBRA for
Executive’s applicable statutory COBRA period, for Executive and any eligible dependents of Executive (including Executive’s spouse) for a total period of eighteen (18) months (the “Welfare Period”); provided that,
(A) as of the Termination Date, Executive is covered under a Company plan for such medical, dental, vision and EAP coverage (as applicable), and the Company continues to offer such benefit to its rank-and-file employees who are not covered
under a collective bargaining agreement, (B) with respect to the medical benefits only, if during the Welfare Period, the Company ceases to offer a medical program to its rank-and-file employees who are not covered under a collective bargaining
agreement, the payment during the Welfare Period shall change to an amount equal to the monthly premium for equivalent medical insurance coverage and (C) if during the Welfare Period Executive becomes eligible, as a full-time employee, for
group medical, dental, vision and EAP insurance from another employer, Executive shall forfeit (as applicable) any such future payments from the Company (collectively, the “Welfare Benefit”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
such payments for continued coverage or such continued coverage itself, by reason of change in the applicable law, may, in the Company’s reasonable view, result in tax or other penalties on the Company, this provision shall terminate and the
parties shall, in good faith, negotiate for a substitute provision which does not result in such tax or other penalties. 

(b) If (1) a Change in Control occurs during the Employment Period, and (2) if the Employment Period and
Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by the Company prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period other than for Cause or Disability, or Executive terminates Executive’s employment prior to the scheduled
expiration of the Employment Period for Good Reason, in either case, within two (2) years after such Change in Control, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 

(i) The Accrued Rights; 

(ii) Any Annual Bonus earned for a previously completed fiscal year but unpaid as of the Termination Date, which Annual Bonus
shall be payable solely to the extent the applicable bonus payout is approved by the Committee;

Date (subject to Section 4.2(d) and the six-month delay described in Section 7.18). Executive shall not be under any duty to mitigate damages in order to be eligible to receive the Severance Benefit or the CIC Severance Benefit.

Severance Benefit, the Welfare Benefit, the bonuses pursuant to Sections 4.2(a)(ii), 4.2(a)(iv), 4.2(b)(ii) and 4.2(b)(iv), if applicable, is contingent and conditioned upon both of the following:

general release releasing all claims against the Company (other than those specifically described in the below proviso) in such form and containing such terms as the Company may reasonably prescribe (and all applicable revocation periods must have
expired); provided, however, that in no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution (and non-revocation) of the general release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a
payment that is subject to execution (and non-revocation) of the general release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year; provided, further, that it shall not be a condition to
Executive’s receipt of such payments that Executive release the Company from any of the following: 
 (A) the
obligations of the Company described in Article IV of this Agreement; or 

  
 9 

 (B) any vested rights that Executive may have with respect to any benefits,
rights or entitlements under the terms of any employee benefit programs of the Company to which Executive is or will be entitled by virtue of Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and nothing in the release will
prohibit or be deemed to restrict Executive from enforcing Executive’s rights to any such benefits, rights or entitlements; or 

(C) Executive’s right to indemnification to the extent provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and/or
bylaws. 
 Failure or refusal by Executive to execute and deliver timely (and not revoke) such release shall release the Company from its obligations to
make the payments described herein. Following such termination of Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to this Section 4.2, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

4.3 Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. 

(a) Rights Upon Termination. If the Employment Period and Executive’s employment under this Agreement are
terminated due to Executive’s death, Disability or Retirement prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period, Executive or Executive’s estate, as applicable, will receive (a) the Accrued Rights plus any Annual Bonus earned
for a previously completed fiscal year but unpaid as of the Termination Date which Annual Bonus shall be payable solely to the extent the applicable bonus payout is approved by the Committee; provided, however, that, in the event of
Executive’s death, the Company agrees to abide by previously received written instructions from Executive directing the Company to pay the Accrued Rights and/or the accrued but unpaid Annual Bonus to a living trust or similar estate planning
vehicle of Executive, provided such trust or similar vehicle is still in existence at the time of Executive’s death, except to the extent prohibited by law, and except as may otherwise be required or directed by any applicable employee benefit
plan; and (b) payment for the Welfare Benefit; provided, however, in the event such continued coverage, by reason of change in the applicable law, may, in the Company’s reasonable view, result in tax or other penalties on the
Company, this provision shall terminate and the parties shall, in good faith, negotiate for a substitute provision which does not result in such tax or other penalties. Following such termination of Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to
this Section 4.3, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. Further, notwithstanding the specific terms of the Incentive Plan or any award agreement thereunder, with respect to any
grants made to Executive under the Incentive Plan during the term of this Agreement, a Retirement under this Agreement which is not also an Early Retirement or a Tenured Retirement shall be deemed to be a “Retirement” under the Incentive
Plan and shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Incentive Plan and any applicable award agreements which apply upon a “Retirement”. 

(b) Tenured Retirement. Notwithstanding the specific terms of the Incentive Plan or any award agreements thereunder,
with respect to any Covered Equity Awards, upon a Tenured Retirement, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (i) Vested
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. All Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which have vested on or prior to the Termination Date, but which have not expired, been exercised, or otherwise terminated, shall remain vested and exercisable
through the expiration of their respective terms (as set forth in the applicable option or stock appreciation rights agreements or notices) and shall thereafter terminate. 

(ii) Unvested Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. All Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which have not vested as
of the Termination Date, and which have not expired or otherwise terminated, shall continue to vest after the Termination Date in accordance with their respective terms as if Executive were still employed by the Company, and shall remain vested and
exercisable through the expiration of their respective terms (in each case as set forth in the applicable option or stock appreciation rights agreements or notices) and shall thereafter terminate. 

  
 10 

 (iii) Restricted Stock Units. All grants of Restricted Stock Units which
have not vested as of the Termination Date, and which have not expired or otherwise terminated, shall continue to vest after the Termination Date in accordance with their respective terms as if Executive were still employed by the Company (as set
forth in the applicable restricted stock unit agreements or notices) and shall be paid in accordance with the vesting schedule as set forth in the applicable restricted stock unit agreement. 

(iv) Performance Shares. For each award of Performance Shares, to the extent not already vested, terminated or forfeited
as of the Termination Date, Executive shall be considered vested in such Performance Shares, but only to the extent the Performance Criteria (as defined in the applicable Performance Share award agreement) are achieved at the end of the applicable
performance period (subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 4.3(b)(iv)), and any payment of shares shall be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Performance Share agreement as if Executive had remained as an
employee of the Company through the end of the performance period (i.e. generally shares would not be distributed until after the end of the performance period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Performance Shares shall be subject to a
reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered, as follows: 
 (A) For each award of Performance Shares,
if Executive’s Termination Date occurs on or after the end of the third calendar month of the final full year of the applicable Performance Period (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan) (e.g., for a Performance Period of
January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2018, on or after March 31, 2017), then such Performance Shares shall be treated as described in the preceding paragraph without any reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered.

 (B) For each award of Performance Shares, if Executive’s Termination Date occurs prior to the end of the third
calendar month of the final full year of the applicable Performance Period (e.g., for a Performance Period of January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2018, before March 31, 2017), then such Performance Shares shall be multiplied by the
Post-Retirement Performance Share Factor, and the product shall be treated as described in the initial paragraph of this Section 4.3(b)(iv) without any reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered with respect to such
portion of the Performance Shares. The remaining portion of the Performance Shares shall be treated as described in the initial paragraph of this Section 4.3(b)(iv) with a maximum payout of 100% (or “target” number) of such
remaining portion of the Performance Shares. 
 EXAMPLE: For an award of 150 Performance Shares, with a Post-Retirement Performance Share
Factor of two-thirds, assuming the achievement of the applicable Performance Criteria results in a payment of 200% of the target number of Performance Shares, Executive would receive 250 shares determined as follows: 150 Performance Shares
multiplied by the Post-Retirement Performance Share Factor results in 100 Performance Shares which are not subject to the 100% maximum and are thus paid out as 200 shares (100 Performance Shares * 200% payout factor); the remaining 50 Performance
Shares are capped at a 100% payout factor and are thus paid out as 50 shares. 
 (c) Early Retirement. Notwithstanding
the specific terms of the Incentive Plan or any award agreement thereunder, with respect to any Covered Equity Awards, upon an Early Retirement, the following provisions shall apply: 

(i) Vested Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. All Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which have vested on or prior
to the Termination Date, but which have not expired, been exercised, or otherwise terminated, shall remain vested and exercisable through the Early Retirement Option Expiration Date and shall thereafter terminate. 

  
 11 

 (ii) Unvested Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Each grant, or
portion thereof, of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which has not vested as of the Termination Date, and which has not expired or otherwise terminated, shall vest or be terminated and forfeited as follows: (A) any portion of such grant
which is scheduled (under its original terms) to vest after the Early Retirement Option Expiration Date shall terminate and be forfeited on the Termination Date; (B) for any portion of such grant which is scheduled (under its original terms) to
vest on or prior to the Early Retirement Option Expiration Date, each “tranche” of such grant (meaning each portion scheduled to vest on the various vesting dates under the grant) shall be multiplied by the Early Retirement Vesting Factor,
and a portion of such tranche equal to such product rounded to the nearest whole number, shall continue to vest after the Termination Date in accordance with its original terms as if Executive were still employed by the Company, and shall remain
vested and exercisable through the Early Retirement Option Expiration Date and shall thereafter terminate; and (C) for each tranche to which the Early Retirement Vesting Factor is applied under the preceding Subsection B, any remaining
portion of such tranche that does not so vest shall terminate and be forfeited on the Termination Date. (See example on Exhibit A to this Agreement). 

(iii) Restricted Stock Units. Each grant, or portion thereof, of Restricted Stock Units which has not vested as of the
Termination Date, and which has not expired or otherwise terminated, shall vest or be terminated and forfeited as follows: (A) any portion of such grant which is scheduled (under its original terms) to vest after the third anniversary of the
Deemed Retirement Date shall terminate and be forfeited on the Termination Date; (B) for any portion of such grant which is scheduled (under its original terms) to vest on or prior to the third anniversary of the Deemed Retirement Date, each
“tranche” of such grant (meaning each portion scheduled to vest on the various vesting dates under the grant) shall be multiplied by the Early Retirement Vesting Factor, and a portion of such tranche equal to such product rounded to the
nearest whole number, shall continue to vest after the Termination Date in accordance with its original terms as if Executive were still employed by the Company and shall be paid in accordance with the vesting schedule as set forth in the applicable
restricted stock unit agreement; and (C) for each tranche to which the Early Retirement Vesting Factor is applied under the preceding Subsection B, any remaining portion of such tranche that does not so vest shall terminate and be forfeited on
the Termination Date. 
 (iv) Performance Shares. For each award of Performance Shares, to the extent not already
vested, terminated or forfeited as of the Termination Date, Executive shall be considered vested in a portion of such Performance Shares determined by multiplying the number of such Performance Shares by the Early Retirement Vesting Factor (the
product being the “Adjusted Performance Shares”), but only to the extent the Performance Criteria are achieved at the end of the applicable performance period (e.g., if the target number of Performance Shares is 150, the Early Retirement
Vesting Factor is 0.24 the Adjusted Performance Shares would be 36, and if the achievement of the Performance Criteria results in a payment of 75% of target shares, the number of shares awarded would be 36 * 75% or 27 shares), and any payment
of shares shall be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Performance Share agreement as if Executive had remained as an employee of the Company through the end of the performance period (i.e., generally shares would not be distributed
until after the end of the performance period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Performance Shares shall be subject to a reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered, as follows: 

(A) For each award of Performance Shares, if Executive’s Termination Date occurs on or after the end of the third
calendar month of the final full year of the applicable Performance Period (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan) (e.g., for a Performance Period of January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2018, on or after March 31, 2017), then
the Adjusted Performance Shares for shall be treated as described in the preceding paragraph without any reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered. 

  
 12 

 (B) For each award of Performance Shares, if Executive’s Termination Date
occurs prior to the end of the third calendar month of the final full year of the applicable Performance Period (e.g., for a Performance Period of January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2018, before March 31, 2017), then the Adjusted
Performance Shares shall be multiplied by the Post-Retirement Performance Share Factor, and the product shall be treated as described in the initial paragraph of this Section 4.3(c)(iv) without any reduction in the maximum number of shares
which may be delivered with respect to such portion of the Adjusted Performance Shares. The remaining portion of the Adjusted Performance Shares shall be treated as described in the initial paragraph of this Section 4.3(c)(iv) with a maximum
payout of 100% (or “target” number) of such remaining portion of the Adjusted Performance Shares. 
 EXAMPLE: Assuming an
award of 150 Performance Shares, and an Early Retirement Vesting Factor is 0.24 the Adjusted Performance Shares would be 36. Further assuming a Post-Retirement Performance Share Factor of two-thirds, if the achievement of the Performance Criteria
results in a payment of 200% of the target number of Performance Shares, Executive would receive 60 shares determined as follows: 36 Adjusted Performance Shares multiplied by the Post-Retirement Performance Share Factor (two-thirds) results in 24
Adjusted Performance Shares which are not subject to the 100% maximum and are thus paid out as 48 shares (24 Adjusted Performance Shares * 200% payout factor); the remaining 12 Performance Shares are capped at a 100% payout factor and are thus paid
out as 12 shares. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if either (i) Executive breaches any
of the provisions of Sections 5.1 through 5.3 or Section 5.6, or of the terms and provisions of the Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement (whether such breach occurs during or after Executive’s employment with the Company), or
(ii) following the Termination Date the Committee becomes aware of acts or omissions by Executive during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company which would have constituted Cause, or (iii) Executive, or anyone on
Executive’s behalf, pursues any type of action or claim against the Company, regarding this Agreement or any topic or claim covered by this Agreement, other than (i) in connection with any challenges to the validity of the release
described in Section 4.2(d)(ii) under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended by the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act, (ii) in connection with the filing of a charge or complaint with or the participation in an
investigation, hearing or proceeding of a government agency or (iii) as otherwise prohibited by law, then, in each case, (1) all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or other Awards (as defined in
the Incentive Plan), to the extent not previously exercised or paid out, shall immediately terminate and be forfeited, and Executive shall reimburse the Company for the value of any other Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Shares or other Awards for which vesting accelerated, or which Executive otherwise realized value, as a result of a purported Retirement; and (2) Executive shall reimburse the Company for all compensation or other amounts previously
paid, allocated, accrued, delivered or provided by the Company to Executive pursuant to this Section 4.3 and the Company shall be entitled to discontinue the future payment, delivery, allocation, accrual or provision of the Severance Benefit,
the CIC Severance Benefit, the Pro-Rata Bonus, the CIC Pro Rata Bonus, the Welfare Benefit and such other compensation, including any deferred or equity compensation, as reflected in the terms of any plan, notice or agreement evidencing such other
compensation, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law. 
 (e) If the Employment Period and Executive’s
employment under this Agreement are terminated due to Executive’s death, Disability or Retirement prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period, Executive or Executive’s estate, as applicable, will receive a Pro Rata Bonus and
shall be payable, solely to the extent the applicable bonus payout is approved by the Committee, in a lump sum at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives under the Annual Bonus Program, but in no event later than March 15th of
the year following the Termination Year. 
 (f) (i) In the event the Employment Period and Executive’s employment under
this Agreement are terminated due to Executive’s death or Disability prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period, and, as of the Termination Date, Executive would have been eligible for Tenured Retirement, then, to the extent
permitted under Section 409A of the Code, Executive’s termination of employment shall be treated as a Tenured Retirement with respect to the Covered Equity Awards with a Deemed Retirement 

  
 13 

 
Date that is six (6) months following the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive or Executive’s estate, as applicable, to the extent permitted under
Section 409A of the Code, may decline such Tenured Retirement through an election delivered by written notice to the Company not less than ninety (90) days following the Termination Date. If proper election is made under this paragraph,
then Section 4.3(b) shall not apply to the Covered Equity Awards and the provisions of the Incentive Plan, and/or the agreements or notices for the Covered Equity Awards, related to vesting, termination or forfeiture, or exercise period,
following a termination due to death or Disability, shall apply to the Covered Equity Awards (except to the extent provided herein). 
 (ii)
In the event the Employment Period and Executive’s employment under this Agreement are terminated due to Executive’s death or Disability prior to the scheduled expiration of the Employment Period, and, as of the Termination Date, Executive
would have been eligible for Early Retirement (but not Tenured Retirement), then, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, Executive or Executive’s estate, as applicable, may elect to have Executive’s termination
treated as an Early Retirement with respect to the Covered Equity Awards with a Deemed Retirement Date that is six (6) months following the Termination Date. Such election shall be made by delivery of written notice to the Company not less than
ninety (90) days following the Termination Date. If proper election is made under this paragraph, then (1) the provisions of Section 4.3(c) shall apply to all, and not less than all, Covered Equity Awards and (2) the provisions
of the Incentive Plan, and/or the agreements or notices for the Covered Equity Awards, related to vesting, termination or forfeiture, or exercise period, following a termination due to death or Disability, shall not apply to the Covered Equity
Awards (except to the extent provided herein). 
 (g) Any payment or vesting of cash or equity to Executive is subject to all
federal, state, and local income and payroll tax withholding that, in the opinion of the Company, is required by law. Unless Executive satisfies any such tax withholding obligation by paying the amount in cash (including by check or wire transfer)
or shares of the Company’s stock, the Company shall withhold cash and/or shares on the date of withholding sufficient to cover the withholding obligation or such other amount that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company
and is permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service or another governmental entity, with shares valued in the same manner as used in computing the withholding taxes. 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive agrees that the Company’s obligation to make the payments set forth in this
Section 4.3, other than the Accrued Rights, is contingent and conditioned upon the execution and delivery (and non-revocation) of a general release by Executive (or Executive’s estate, if applicable), no later than sixty (60) days
after the Termination Date, releasing all claims against the Company (other than those specifically described in the below provisos) in such form and containing such terms as the Company may reasonably prescribe; provided, however,
that in no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution (and non-revocation) of the general release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution (and
non-revocation) of the general release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year; provided, further, that it shall not be a condition to Executive’s receipt of such payments that
Executive release the Company from any of the following: 
 (i) the obligations of the Company described in Article IV of the
Agreement; or 
 (ii) any vested rights that Executive may have with respect to any benefits, rights or entitlements under
the terms of any employee benefit programs of the Company to which Executive is or will be entitled by virtue of Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and nothing in the release will prohibit or be deemed to
restrict Executive from enforcing Executive’s rights to any such benefits, rights or entitlements; or 
 (iii)
Executive’s right to indemnification to the extent provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and/or bylaws. 

  
 14 

 Failure or refusal by Executive to execute and deliver timely (and not revoke) such release shall
release the Company from its obligations to make the payments described herein. Following such termination of Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to this Section 4.3, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any
other benefits under this Agreement. 
 4.4 Expiration of the Employment Period. 

(a) In the event either party elects not to extend the Employment Period pursuant to Section 2.2, unless Executive’s
employment is earlier terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1 through 4.3, the Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the then current Employment Period subject only to Section 7.1 and Executive’s employment with the Company beyond
the expiration of the Employment Period shall be deemed an employment at-will and shall not be deemed to extend any of the provisions of this Agreement (subject to Section 7.1) and Executive’s employment may thereafter be terminated at
will by either Executive or the Company. 
 (b) Following such termination of the Agreement pursuant to this
Section 4.4, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 4.5 Notice of
Termination; Notice of Retirement; Termination Date. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, any purported termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company or by Executive (other than a Retirement by Executive), shall be communicated by written “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 7.2. Any Notice of
Termination shall set forth (i) the effective date of termination (for purposes of determining Executive’s entitlement to benefits hereunder), which, in the case of a termination by Executive pursuant to Section 4.1, or a termination
by either party pursuant to Section 4.2 shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the date the Notice of Termination is delivered; (ii) the specific provision in this Agreement relied upon; and (iii) except in the case of a
termination due to death, Disability or by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination. 

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, any purported Retirement by Executive shall be communicated by written “Notice of
Retirement” to the Company in accordance with Section 7.2. Any Notice of Retirement shall include the following (i) if Executive intends for the Retirement to qualify as either an Early Retirement or a Tenured Retirement, the notice
shall indicate such intent; and (ii) the notice shall set forth the proposed effective date of the Retirement, which, for either an Early Retirement or a Tenured Retirement shall not be less than six (6) months after the date the Notice of
Retirement is delivered, or for any other Retirement shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the date the Notice of Retirement is delivered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in order for a Notice of Retirement
to be proper and valid, Executive must, during the period from delivery of the purported Notice of Retirement through the Termination Date, continue to substantially perform Executive’s duties hereunder, to the extent required by the Company.
Executive’s material neglect or willful and continuous failure to perform such duties, which neglect or failure is not cured within seven (7) days following written notice thereof from the Company to Executive, shall (i) invalidate
the Notice of Retirement ab initio, and (ii) deprive Executive the right to deliver a subsequent Notice of Retirement. However, the foregoing shall not prevent the Company, in its sole discretion, from agreeing to reduce or diminish
Executive’s duties and obligations to the Company during the period following delivery of the purported Notice of Retirement through the Termination Date. 

(c) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4.1 or due to Executive’s Disability
pursuant to Section 4.3, the Termination Date shall be the date upon which the Company notifies Executive of such termination. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or if Executive terminates
employment pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, the Termination Date shall be Executive’s last full day of work prior to the effectiveness of such termination. At any time following proper delivery of a Notice of Retirement but prior to
the effective date of such Retirement, the Company may elect to terminate the Employment Period and Executive’s employment under this Agreement in which case the Termination Date shall be Executive’s last full day of work prior to the
effectiveness of such termination; provided, however, that, unless such termination is for Cause under 

  
 15 

 
Section 4.1, such early termination by the Company shall not have any impact on the Deemed Retirement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within fifteen (15) days after any Notice
of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a good faith dispute exists concerning the termination, the “Termination Date” for purposes of determining Executive’s entitlement
to benefits under this Agreement shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined by an independent arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. 

4.6 Board/Committee Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive hereby agrees to immediately
resign from all positions (including, without limitation, any management, officer or director position) that Executive holds on the date of such termination with the Company or any of its affiliates or with any entity in which the Company or any of
its affiliates has made any investment. Executive hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation reasonably required by the Company as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Company or its affiliates, or any entity in which the
Company or any of its affiliates thereof has made an investment to effectuate such resignation, and in any case, Executive’s execution of this Agreement shall be deemed the grant by Executive to the officers of the Company of a limited power of
attorney to sign in Executive’s name and on Executive’s behalf such documentation solely for the limited purposes of effectuating such resignation.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS 
 For the
purposes of this Article V, all references to the Company shall include the Company and its affiliates.

(C) for whom Executive had direct or indirect responsibility during the one (1) year immediately preceding
Executive’s termination of employment. 
 (ii) During the Nonsolicit Period, Executive will not, whether on

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Executive may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment,
securities of any Person engaged in the business of the Company which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if Executive (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which
controls, such Person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. 

(b) Tolling. Executive understands that if he/she violates the terms of Sections 5.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) above by engaging in one or more of the prohibited activities during the applicable restrictive period, then the running of the restrictive period will stop, or be “tolled,” during the time of such violation and will begin
running again only when the violation(s) have ceased by voluntary action of Executive or following legal action by the Company to enforce the Agreement. 

5.2 Confidentiality. 

(a) Executive acknowledges that the identity of the clients and customers of the Company, the prices, terms and conditions at,
or upon which, the Company sells its products or provides its services and other non-public, proprietary or confidential information relating to the business, financial and other affairs of the Company (including, without limitation, any idea,
product, trade secret, know-how, research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property; creative or conceptual business or marketing plan, strategy or other material
developed for the Company by Executive; or information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products, services, vendors, customers, clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising,
sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals – concerning the past, current or future business, activities and operations of the Company and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of same to
the Company on a confidential basis) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”) are valuable, special unique assets of the Company and that such Confidential Information, if disclosed to others, may result in loss
of business or other irreparable and consequential damage to the Company. 

  
 17 

 (b) Executive shall hold in fiduciary capacity, for the benefit of the Company,
all Confidential Information and shall not, at any time during the Employment Period or thereafter (i) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of Executive of any other Person, or (ii) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate,
share, transfer or provide access to any Person outside the Company (other than its professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any Confidential Information, without the prior written authorization of the Company. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Confidential Information shall not include information (i) generally known to
the public or the trade other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this covenant or any breach of other confidentiality obligations by third parties, (ii) made legitimately available to Executive by a third party without breach of any
confidentiality obligation, (iii) the release of which is deemed by the Board to be in the best interest of the Company, or (iv) the disclosure of which is required by applicable law; provided, that Executive shall give prompt
written notice to the Company of such legal requirement, disclose no more information than is so required, and cooperate with any attempts by the Company to obtain a protective order or similar treatment. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement
prohibits Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency
Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and Executive
is not required to notify the Company that he or she has made such reports or disclosures. 
 (d) Upon termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall (i) cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright,
trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned or used by the Company, (ii) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies in any form or
medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Executive’s office, home, laptop or other computer,
whether or not Company property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company, except that Executive may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain any
Confidential Information, and (iii) notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential Information of which Executive is or becomes aware. In addition, on Executive’s last day of
employment with the Company, or earlier upon the request of the Company, Executive shall return to the Company all equipment, data, material, manuals, offering documents, contracts, closing binders, books, records, documents (whether stored
electronically or on computer hard drives, disks, thumb drives, or other storage devices), computer disks, credit cards, keys, I.D. cards, and other Company property, including, without limitation, stand-alone computers or tablets, fax machines,
printers, telephones, and other Company electronic devices in Executive’s possession, custody, or control. 
 5.3
Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that Executive will not disparage the Company or its or their current or former officers, directors, and employees in any way; further, Executive will not make or solicit any comments, statements, or the
like to the media or to others that would be considered derogatory or detrimental to the good name or business reputation of any of the aforementioned entities or individuals; provided, that this Section does not prohibit statements which
Executive is required to make under oath or which are otherwise required by law, provided, that such statements are truthful and made in a professional manner; further provided, that this Section does not prohibit Executive from
making statements which would otherwise be in violation of this Section, provided such statements are made by Executive in response to public statements made by the Company, or its authorized representatives, which are derogatory or detrimental to
the good name or business reputation of Executive. 
 5.4 Acknowledgment of Reasonable Covenants. It is expressly understood and
agreed that Executive and the Company consider the restrictions and covenants contained herein to be reasonable and enforceable, because, among other things, (a) Executive will be receiving compensation under this Agreement or otherwise,
(b) there are many other areas in which, and companies for which, Executive could work in view of Executive’s background, (c) the 

  
 18 

 
restrictions and covenants set forth herein do not impose any undue hardship on Executive, (d) the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the restrictions and covenants
of Executive contained herein, (e) the restrictions and covenants contained herein have been made in order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and (f) the restrictions and covenants contained herein are for the protection of
the Company’s confidential or trade secrets business information and customer or supplier relationships, goodwill and loyalty. 
 5.5
Subsequent Employment. Executive agrees to disclose the existence of this Agreement and the restrictions in this Article V (but nothing further) to any person, firm, corporation or other entity before accepting employment with, engagement by
or otherwise working for such person or entity during Executive’s employment with the Company and during the two (2) year period following termination of Executive’s employment for any reason. Executive further agrees that upon
request Executive will disclose to one of the Company’s Vice President(s) of Human Resources the identity of any new employment, business relationship, or consulting arrangement that Executive is engaged in while Executive is employed and
during the two (2) year period after termination of employment for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not prohibit Executive from disclosing historical compensation information (e.g., salary, bonus or long term
incentive compensation) to prospective future employers. 
 5.6 Modification of the Restrictive Covenants. If, at the time of
enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth herein, a final judicial determination is made by a court or arbiter of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable
restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the
enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 
 ARTICLE VI

6.1 Ownership of Work Product. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall solely own, without restrictions or liability
of any kind, all right, title, and interest in and to any and all intellectual property and tangible embodiments thereof, including, but not limited to, all documents, reports, memoranda, drawings, specifications, computer programs, works of

intellectual property rights therein and thereto. 
 ARTICLE VII 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 7.1

Executive’s employment hereunder or termination of the Employment Period. 
 7.2 Notices. All notices, demands or other
communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally, mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and
postage prepaid, or sent via a nationally recognized overnight courier, or sent via e-mail to the recipient. Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to the address indicated below: 

To the Company: 

Express Scripts Holding Company 

One Express Way Saint Louis, MO 63121 

Attention: Chief Legal Officer 

To Executive: 

At the address in the Company records 

or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party shall have specified by prior written notice to the sending party. 

7.3 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 

7.4 Complete Agreement. Except to the extent specifically set forth herein, this Agreement constitutes the complete agreement and
understanding between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by and between the parties, written or oral which shall automatically terminate upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not supersede or modify the terms of the Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement or any other nondisclosure or noncompetition agreement between Executive
and the Company, and any restricted stock, stock options, performance shares, restricted stock units or other equity awards, deferred compensation and sign on incentives, whether in cash or otherwise, shall be subject to the terms of the applicable
awards, notices or agreements. The applicable provisions of this Agreement amend the terms and provisions of the Incentive Plan to the extent addressed by this Agreement. 

7.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together constitute one and the same agreement. 

  
 20 

 7.6 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, this Agreement, including the obligations and benefits hereunder, may not be assigned to any party by Executive. In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement within 30 days after a written demand therefor is delivered to the Board by Executive shall be a
breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to claim Good Reason pursuant to Section 1.25(a) of this Agreement. 
 7.7 No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied to this Agreement. 

7.8 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of
this Agreement. 
 7.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Missouri, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof; provided, however, that issues related to the Incentive Plan or any grants thereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 

7.10 Specific Performance. The Company shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages
and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. Executive agrees and acknowledges that money damages are an
inadequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 5.1 through 5.3 and Section 5.6, and that the Company shall be entitled to apply to any court of law or equity of competent
jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. Further, Executive acknowledges that the forfeiture
provision set forth in the termination provisions hereof shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect the Company’s right to seek legal or equitable remedies it may otherwise have, or the amount of damages for which it may seek recovery,
resulting from breach of this Agreement. 
 7.11 Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived
only with the prior written consent of the Company and Executive. 
 7.12 Tax Matters. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (or any other agreement entered into by and between Executive and the
Company or any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company), in the event that any amount or benefit paid or distributed to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or benefits otherwise paid or distributed to
Executive by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Payments”), would exceed the amount which can be paid to Executive without Executive incurring an Excise Tax, then the amounts payable to Executive under this
Agreement (or any other agreement by and between Executive and the Company or pursuant to any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company) may, in the discretion of the Company, be reduced (but not below zero) to the maximum amount which
may be paid hereunder without Executive becoming subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced payments to be referred to as the “Payment Cap”), but only if and to the extent such reduced amount would provide a greater benefit to Executive than
an unreduced payment that would subject Executive to an Excise Tax. In the event Executive receives reduced payments and benefits as a result of application of this Section 7.12, Executive shall have the right to designate which of the payments
and benefits otherwise set forth herein (or any other agreement between Executive and the Company or any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company) will be received in connection with the application of the Payment Cap, subject to the
following sentence. Reduction shall first be made from payments and benefits which are determined not to be nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and then shall be made (to the extent necessary) out of
payments and benefits which are subject to Section 409A of the Code and which are due at the latest future date. 

  
 21 

 (b) Immediately upon a Change in Control, the Company shall notify Executive of
any modification or reduction as a result of the application of this Section 7.12. In the event Executive and the Company disagree as to the application of this Section 7.12, the Company shall select a law firm or accounting firm from
among those regularly consulted (during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the Change in Control that resulted in the characterization of the Covered Payments as parachute payments) by the Company, and such law firm or accounting firm
shall determine, at the Company’s expense, the amount to which Executive shall be entitled hereunder (and pursuant to any other agreements, incentive arrangements or plans), taking into consideration the application of this Section 7.12,
and such determination shall be final and binding upon Executive and the Company. 
 7.13 Executive Representation. Executive hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive and the Company and the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene,
the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which Executive is a party or otherwise bound. 
 7.14 Executive
Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that he or she has read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in reliance upon any representations or promises made by the Company other than those contained in
writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely based on Executive’s own judgment. 
 7.15 Cooperation. Each party
shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment hereunder. 

7.16 Clawback Policy. This Agreement shall be subject to the Company’s Clawback and Recoupment Policy, or any successor policy, as
it may be in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, any changes required to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Policy”), and Executive specifically acknowledges that such
Policy shall apply to compensation and benefit previously provided and that the Committee shall have discretion regarding application of the Policy to this Agreement. 

7.17 Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local or
foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company is required or authorized by law to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding shall arise.

 7.18 Section 409A of the Code. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement and any other
plans or arrangements in which Executive participates (together, the “Arrangements”) comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Arrangements shall be
interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained therein to the contrary, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under the
Arrangements which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided
under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing under any Arrangements, to the extent required in order to avoid an accelerated or additional tax
under Section 409A of the Code, (a) amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Arrangements during the six-month period immediately following an Executive’s separation from
service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, Executive’s date of death); provided, however, amounts with respect to the Severance
Benefit, the CIC Severance Benefit or the Welfare Benefit shall accrue with a reasonable rate of interest, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion, from the Termination Date until the date of payment, (b) no Change in Control shall
be deemed to have occurred thereunder unless such Change in Control constitutes a change in control event for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and (c) references to a termination on account of disability shall be deemed to

  
 22 

 
refer to a “disability” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts
reimbursable to Executive shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in kind benefits provided to Executive) during
one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in the Arrangements will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and
makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. 
 7.19 Arbitration. Executive and
the Company agree that any and all disputes between the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement, and/or any release executed by Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, other than under Article V (with respect to
which either party may seek an injunction in aid of arbitration such as an order seeking specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief), shall be submitted and decided by binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator in
accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Venue for the arbitration shall be in St. Louis County, Missouri and the laws as set forth in Section 7.9 will apply. Any demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other matter in
question has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
Under no circumstances will either party be subject to punitive damages. Each party hereto shall bear its costs of the arbitration proceeding. However, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, the prevailing party in the arbitration, as
designated by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable cost of the arbitration, including, without limitation, its reasonable attorneys’ fees, from the other party as determined by the arbitrator in or following the decision
on the merits. Any disputes about the enforcement of this Section 7.19 shall be submitted to arbitration, and the arbitrator shall have the authority to sever any provision of this Section 7.19 which would render the provision
unenforceable as a matter of then existing law in accordance with Section 7.3.

Sample Calculation under Section 4.3(c)(ii) 

The following is an example of the methodology to be used to calculate the impact of Early Retirement on Unvested Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights granted on or following the Effective Date: 
 Option Grant: 375 options granted on May 1, 2016, vesting in 3 tranches as follows:

 Tranche 1 – 100 options vesting May 1, 2017 

Tranche 2 – 125 options vesting May 1, 2018 

Tranche 3 – 150 options vesting May 1, 2019 

Expiration Date: May 1, 2027 
 Executive’s
55th Birthday: March 11, 2016 
 Deemed Retirement Date: November 1, 2016 

Termination Date: October 1, 2016 
 Early Retirement
Period: 8 months (whole months between 3/1/16 and 11/1/16) 
 Early Retirement Option Expiration Date: November 1, 2020 (4 years after the Deemed
Retirement Date. Note: For any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an Expiration Date prior to 11/1/20, the Early Retirement Option Expiration Date would be such Expiration Date.) 

Early Retirement Vesting Factor: 0.133 or 13.3% (8 ÷ 60) 

Calculations as of the Termination Date based on the foregoing: 

Tranche 1 – 13 options (100 * 0.133, rounded to the nearest whole option) would remain scheduled to vest on May 1, 2017, and
following vesting would remain exercisable until November 1, 2020; the remaining 87 options in Tranche 1 would terminate and be forfeited as of the Termination Date. 

Tranche 2 – 17 options (125 * 0.133, rounded to the nearest whole option) would remain scheduled to vest on May 1, 2018, and
following vesting would remain exercisable until November 1, 2020; the remaining 108 options in Tranche 2 would terminate and be forfeited as of the Termination Date. 

Tranche 3 – 20 options (150 * 0.133, rounded to the nearest whole option) would remain scheduled to vest on May 1, 2019, and
following vesting would remain exercisable until November 1, 2020; the remaining 130 options in Tranche 3 would terminate and be forfeited as of the Termination Date. 

The foregoing is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any actual grants to Executive.

Exhibit A—Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 

 EXHIBIT A 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 

Express Scripts Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), has granted you (“Grantee”) an award of the number of
Restricted Stock Units as set forth on the Grant Notice. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle Grantee to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting in the future in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in your
Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“RSU Agreement”). 
 The
Award is granted pursuant to the Express Scripts Holding Company 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), pursuant to which restricted stock units, and other awards, may be granted to Non-Employee Directors
of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, all capitalized terms utilized herein (including on Schedule 1 hereto) shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 

The details of your Award are as follows: 

l. Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. Pursuant to action of the Board and/or a committee authorized by the Board, the Company hereby
grants to Grantee an award (the “Award”) of the number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth on the Grant Notice. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle Grantee to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting in the future in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions described herein. 
 2. Vesting and Forfeiture. 

(a) Time Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in one or more installments (each, an “Installment”) in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule as set forth on the Grant Notice, with the vesting of each Installment subject to the Grantee’s continued service as a member of the Board through the applicable vesting date. 

(b) Accelerated Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units which have not yet vested under subparagraph (a) above shall vest or be
forfeited in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and the terms of this Agreement (including Schedule 1 hereto). 
 (c) Forfeiture
of Restricted Stock Units. If Grantee’s service as a member of the Board terminates for any reason, Grantee shall forfeit all rights with respect to any portion of the Award (and the underlying shares of Common Stock) that has not yet
vested as of the effective date of the termination, except to the extent such Award vests upon such termination under Section 2(b). 

3. Issuance of Common Stock. In accordance with the Vesting Schedule and subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement or the Plan, upon an applicable vesting event, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following such event, the Company shall issue and deliver to Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted
Stock Units which have become vested as a result of such event. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver such shares of Common Stock (a) by issuing Grantee a certificate of Common Stock representing the appropriate number of shares,
(b) through electronic delivery to a brokerage or similar securities-holding account in the name of Grantee, or (c) through such other commercially reasonable means available for the delivery of securities. 

 4. Incorporation of the Plan by Reference; Conflicting Terms. The Award of
Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement is granted under and expressly subject to, the terms and provisions of the Plan, which terms and provisions are incorporated herein by reference. Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall govern.  

5. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred in any manner and any purported
transfer or assignment shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the death of Grantee, Grantee’s Successor shall have the right to receive any shares of Common Stock that may be deliverable hereunder, provided, that, for such
purposes, the terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Grantee. 

6. Ownership Rights. The Restricted Stock Units do not represent a current interest in any shares of Common Stock. Grantee shall have no
voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the Award of Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, and to the extent permitted by the Plan,
Grantee shall participate in any cash dividend declared by the Board applicable to shares of Common Stock, which shall entitle Grantee to receive a cash payment for each Restricted Stock Unit, subject to the same Vesting Schedule and restrictions as
the underlying Restricted Stock Unit and otherwise payable at the same time shares are issued and delivered to Grantee with respect to the underlying Restricted Stock Unit, in an amount that would otherwise be payable as dividends with respect to an
equal number of shares of Common Stock. 
 7. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Acquisitions. Should any change
be made to the Common Stock by reason of any Fundamental Change, divestiture, distribution of assets to stockholders (other than ordinary cash dividends), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, stock combination or exchange, rights offering, spin-off or other relevant change, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the total number and/or class of securities subject to this Award in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude
a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. 
 8. Board Discretion. This Award has been made pursuant to a determination made by
the Board and/or one or more committees of the Board (as delegated by the Board). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Board or its delegated committee(s) shall have plenary authority to:
(a) interpret any provision of this Agreement or the Award; (b) make any determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement or the Award; (c) make adjustments as it deems appropriate to the aggregate number
and type of securities available under this Agreement to appropriately adjust for, and give effect to, any Fundamental Change, divestiture, distribution of assets to stockholders (other than ordinary cash dividends), reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination or exchange, rights offering, spin-off or other relevant change; and (d) otherwise modify or amend any provision hereof, or otherwise with
respect to the Award, in any manner that does not materially and adversely affect any right granted to Grantee by the express terms hereof, unless required as a matter of law, subject to the limitations stated in the Plan. 

9. Taxes. By accepting this Award of Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement, Grantee represents that he or she has reviewed
with his or her own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that he or she is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the
Company or any of its agents. Grantee understands and agrees that he or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

 10. Electronic Delivery. The Company may choose to deliver certain statutory or regulatory
materials relating to the Plan in electronic form, including without limitation securities law disclosure materials. Without limiting the foregoing, by accepting this Award, Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may deliver the Plan prospectus and
the Company’s annual report to Grantee in an electronic format. If at any time Grantee would prefer to receive paper copies of any document delivered in electronic form, the Company will provide such paper copies upon written request to the
Investor Relations department of the Company. 
 11. No Right to Continued Service on the Board. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to create any limitation or restriction on or otherwise affect such rights as the Company, the stockholders of the Company, or the Board otherwise would have to remove Grantee from the Board, to exclude Grantee from any slate of nominees for
election to the Board, or to otherwise terminate Grantee’s service on the Board at any time for any reason. 
 12. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, including Schedule 1 hereto, and the Plan contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the
parties. 
 13. Governing Law. To the extent federal law does not otherwise control, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 
 14. Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Award is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and shall be interpreted in accordance with section 409A of the Code and treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder,
including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan, this Agreement or any other applicable Agreement to the contrary, no payment or distribution
under this Agreement that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of Grantee’s termination of employment or service with the Company shall be made to Grantee until such
termination of employment or service constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Award, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified
payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan, this Agreement or any Applicable Employment Agreement to the contrary, and to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under section 409A of
the Code, (a) if Grantee is a specified employee within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, Grantee shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of employment or service until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the six
(6)-month period measured from the date of Grantee’s separation from service or (ii) the date of death; and (b) no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder unless such Change in Control constitutes a change in
control event for purposes of section 409A of the Code. Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 14 (whether they would have otherwise
been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to Grantee in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any
remaining payments due under this Award will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any Applicable Employment Agreement to the contrary, in no event
shall the Company or any affiliate be liable to Grantee on account of an Award’s failure to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without
limitation, section 409A of the Code. 

 SCHEDULE 1 

TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS UNDER THE 

EXPRESS SCRIPTS HOLDING COMPANY 2016 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 
 I.
Termination of Service of Non-Employee Director 
 (A) Generally. Except as provided herein, if Grantee’s service as a member
of the Board terminates, then any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the date of such termination shall terminate as of such date, and such unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company without payment therefor.

 (B) Death or Disability. If Grantee’s service as a member of the Board terminates on account of death or Disability, Grantee
shall vest in a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the Pro-Rata Portion (as defined below) of each Installment of Restricted Stock Units outstanding at the time of such termination of service. The Company shall issue and deliver to Grantee
shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3 of the RSU Agreement. For purposes of this RSU Agreement, the term “Pro-Rata Portion” means, with respect to each Installment, a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
months completed between the Date of Grant and the date of such termination of service, and the denominator of which is the total number of months between the Date of Grant and the vesting date applicable to such Installment. 

(C) Retirement. The termination of Grantee’s service as a member of the Board after attainment of age 65 for any reason other than
death or Disability shall be considered a Retirement, subject to the following: 
  

	 	1.	Tenured Retirement. After attainment of age 70, Grantee’s Retirement shall be deemed to be a “Tenured Retirement”. Upon a Tenured Retirement, Grantee shall vest in all of the Restricted Stock Units
then outstanding. The Company shall issue and deliver to Grantee shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3 of the RSU Agreement. 

  

	 	2.	Early Retirement. If Grantee has attained the age of 65, but not age 70, and has at least ten years of service on the Board, then Grantee’s Retirement shall be deemed to be an “Early Retirement”.
Upon an Early Retirement, the following shall occur: 

  

	 	(a)	for any Restricted Stock Units then outstanding, the Early Retirement Pro-Rata Portion (as defined below) shall vest immediately, and the Company shall issue and deliver to Grantee shares of Common Stock in accordance
with Section 3 of the RSU Agreement; 

  

	 	(b)	the term Early Retirement Pro-Rata Portion means a percentage which is equal to (i) the number of full months served by Grantee past age 65, divided by (ii) 60. The remaining portion of the Restricted Stock
Units which are not eligible for vesting under the preceding paragraph shall be forfeited to the Company without payment upon Retirement. 

	 	3.	Death or Disability While Eligible for Retirement. If Grantee’s service as a member of the Board terminates because of his or her death or Disability and, at the time of such termination of service Grantee
would have been eligible for either a Tenured Retirement or an Early Retirement, the Restricted Stock Units shall be treated as if Grantee’s service had terminated due to such applicable form of Retirement (rather than due to death or
Disability, as applicable) if such treatment would result in a greater number of Restricted Stock Units becoming vested. 

  

	 	4.	Standard Retirement. Any Retirement that is not either a Tenured Retirement or an Early Retirement shall be deemed to be a Standard Retirement, which shall be treated in accordance with Section I(A) above.

 II. Change in Control 

(A) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Change in Control  

(i) Acceleration of Vesting. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units shall, to the extent outstanding,
vest in full. 
 (ii) Company Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control transaction, on the Change in Control Date the
Restricted Stock Units still outstanding shall be automatically cancelled without further action by the Company or the Grantee, and the Company shall provide payment in connection with such cancellation at a per share price equal to the number of
such Restricted Stock Units multiplied by the Change in Control Price (as defined below). The Change in Control Price shall mean the value, expressed in dollars, as of the date of receipt of the per share consideration received by the Company’s
stockholders whose stock is acquired in a transaction constituting a Change in Control. In case such all or part of such consideration shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by a
majority of the Board of Directors based on a written opinion by a nationally recognized investment banking firm, whose determination shall be described in a statement furnished to Participants.
