CVS HEALTH ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
1. Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Claims. The employee named below will be referred to here as “Employee,” “You” or
“Your”. CVS Pharmacy, Inc., including its affiliates, successors, subsidiaries and/or parent companies will be referred to here
as “CVS” or "Company". Under this Agreement, You and CVS agree that any dispute between You and CVS that is covered
by this Agreement (“Covered Claims”) will be decided by a single arbitrator through final and binding arbitration only and will
not be decided by a court or jury or any other forum, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

2. Claims Covered by this Agreement. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, Covered Claims are any and all
claims, disputes or controversies that CVS may have, now or in the future, against You or that You may have, now or in the
future, against CVS or one of its employees or agents, arising out of or related to Your employment with CVS or the
termination of Your employment. Covered Claims include but are not limited to disputes regarding wages and other forms of
compensation, hours of work, meal and rest break periods, seating, expense reimbursement, leaves of absence, harassment,
discrimination, retaliation and termination arising under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (“ERISA”), Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, and other federal, state and local statutes, regulations and
other legal authorities relating to employment. Covered Claims also include disputes arising out of or relating to the validity,
enforceability or breach of this Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 6, below, regarding the Class Action Waiver.

3. Claims Not Covered by this Agreement. This Agreement does not apply to claims raised in litigation pending as of the
date You first received the Agreement or claims by You for workers compensation, state disability insurance or unemployment
insurance benefits or claims for benefits under an employee benefit plan. This Agreement does not prevent or excuse You
(either individually or together with others) or CVS from using the Company's existing internal procedures for resolution of
complaints, and this Agreement is not intended to be a substitute for the use of such procedures. This Agreement does not
prohibit You or CVS from filing: a motion in court to compel arbitration; a motion in court for temporary or preliminary injunctive
relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy; or an administrative charge or complaint with any federal, state or local
office or agency, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or
National Labor Relations Board. Also excluded from this Agreement are disputes that may not be subject to a pre-dispute
arbitration agreement as provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other binding
federal law or legal authority.

4. Arbitration Proceedings.
a. Initiation of a Claim. All claims in arbitration are subject to the same statutes of limitation that would apply in court. To
initiate a claim, You or CVS must make a written demand for arbitration and deliver it (i) by hand or first class mail to the
other party and (ii) by hand or first class mail or electronically to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) within the
applicable statute of limitations period. Otherwise, the claim will be waived as provided for by applicable law. An
Employee may seek assistance from the AAA regarding the initiation of a claim by calling 877-495-4185 or sending an
email to casefiling@adr.org.

b. The Written Demand. The written demand for arbitration must: identify the parties; state the legal and factual basis of
the claim(s); and state the specific remedy or damages sought. Any written demand for arbitration made to CVS must be
directed to the CVS Legal Department (ATTN: VP, Employment Law), One CVS Drive, Woonsocket, RI 02895. Any
written demand for arbitration to the Employee will be sent to the last home address on file with the Company. The
arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness of the demand for arbitration.

c. Rules and Procedures. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be
conducted in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the AAA (“AAA Rules”)
then in effect. The AAA Rules can be found at the AAA website (https://www.adr.org), by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879, or by
requesting a copy from the CVS Human Resources Department. Pursuant to the AAA Rules, the parties will select the
arbitrator by mutual agreement and will have the opportunity to conduct discovery, bring dispositive motions, be
represented by attorney(s) (or not, as they prefer) and present witnesses and evidence at a hearing. Unless You and
CVS agree otherwise, the location of the arbitration hearing will be no more than 45 miles from the place where You are
or were last employed by CVS. The Federal Rules of Evidence will apply. The arbitrator will follow the substantive law
applicable to the case and may award only those remedies that would have been available had the matter been heard in
court. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
d. Costs and Fees. CVS will pay all costs and expenses charged by the AAA or the arbitrator, including but not limited to
the arbitrator’s fees, except that, for claims You initiate, You will be responsible to pay the claim initiation fee charged
under the AAA Rules; however, if Your claim initiation fee exceeds what a court in the jurisdiction would have charged
You for filing a lawsuit based on Your claims, then You will be responsible only for the amount that the court would have
charged, and CVS will pay the remaining amount to the AAA. Each party will pay its own litigation costs and attorneys’
fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and litigation
costs, the arbitrator is authorized to award attorneys’ fees and/or litigation costs under the same standards a court would
apply under applicable law.

5. Pre-Hearing Mediation. Prior to the arbitration hearing of any Covered Claim, You and CVS may engage in non-binding
mediation under the employment mediation procedures of the AAA. If You and CVS agree to participate in mediation, CVS will
pay all fees and costs charged by the AAA or the mediator.

6. Waiver of Class, Collective and Representative Actions (“Class Action Waiver”). You and CVS agree to bring any
Covered Claims in arbitration on an individual basis only; You and CVS waive any right or authority for any Covered Claims to
be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative or private attorney general action. The Class Action
Waiver does not apply to any claim you bring as a private attorney general solely on your own behalf and not on behalf of or
regarding others. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the validity,
enforceability or breach of the Class Action Waiver will be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an
arbitrator. If, despite this Class Action Waiver, You file or participate in a class, collective or representative action in any
forum, You will not be retaliated against, disciplined or threatened with discipline. However, CVS will seek enforcement of this
Agreement and the Class Action Waiver under the Federal Arbitration Act and seek dismissal of such class, collective or
representative actions or claims.

7. Your Right to Opt Out of Arbitration. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of Your employment at CVS. If You
wish, You can opt out of this Agreement for a limited time and, by doing so, not be bound by its terms. To opt out, You must
mail a written, signed and dated letter stating clearly that You wish to opt out of this Agreement to CVS Health, P.O. Box 969,
Woonsocket, RI 02895. In order to be effective, Your opt out notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date
you agree to the Agreement below.

8. Other Provisions.

a. Adequate Consideration. Both parties agree that the promises made in this Agreement by You and by CVS to arbitrate
disputes, rather than litigate them before courts or other bodies, provide good and sufficient consideration for each other.

b. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the full and complete agreement between You and CVS relating to the formal
resolution of Covered Claims. Neither party is relying on any representations, oral or written, about the effect,
enforceability or meaning of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

c. Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is adjudged to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will
remain valid and enforceable. In any case in which (a) a dispute is filed as a class, collective, representative or private
attorney general action and (b) a civil court of competent jurisdiction finds part of the Class Action Waiver unenforceable,
the action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action
Waiver that is enforceable will be enforced in arbitration. If the Class Action Waiver is adjudged completely
unenforceable, You and CVS agree that this Agreement is otherwise silent as to any party's ability to bring a class,
collective or representative action in arbitration.

d. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. and evidences a
transaction involving commerce.

e. Effective Date and Term. This Agreement takes effect immediately upon agreement by You and, unless you opt out as
specified above, survives the termination of employment with CVS.

f. Non-Retaliation. It is against CVS policy for any Employee to be subject to retaliation if he or she exercises his or her
right to assert claims under this Agreement, to opt out of this Agreement or to challenge this Agreement. If You believe
that You have been retaliated against, You should immediately report it to the CVS Human Resources Department or
Ethics Line. This Agreement does not in any way alter the at-will employment status between You and CVS.

9. Statement of Assent and Understanding. By signing below, You acknowledge that You have carefully read this
Agreement, that you understand and agree to its terms, that You have had the chance to ask questions about the
Agreement, and that you have had or will have the chance to consult with your own legal counsel before the end of
the opt out period described above. You enter into the Agreement voluntarily and not in reliance on any promises or
representations made by CVS other than those in the Agreement itself. You understand that by agreeing to this
Agreement and not opting out, You and CVS are giving up the right to go to court to resolve Covered Claims and
giving up the right to bring or participate in a class, collective or representative action brought on behalf of or
regarding others on Covered Claims.

AGREED: CVS Pharmacy, Inc.
