Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)           On October 26, 2010, Healthways, Inc. (the “Company”) and Matthew Kelliher, the Company’s President of International Business, entered into an agreement establishing the material terms of Mr. Kelliher’s Long Term Performance Award (the “Award”).

The Award is effective as of September 1, 2010 and will expire December 31, 2012. Except as expressly set forth in the Award, Mr. Kelliher is ineligible to participate in any of the Company’s short-term or long-term incentive compensation programs. The Award is granted under, and, to the extent not contrary to the terms of the Award, is subject to all the terms and conditions imposed on such awards granted under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. Pursuant to the Award, Mr. Kelliher may earn a bonus based upon achieving certain targets related to: (i) signed, expanded or extended international contracts (the “Signed Contract Bonus”); (ii) the Company’s international business’  projected 2013 revenue (the “Growth Award”); and (iii) the Company’s international organizational structure and succession planning (the “OSSP Bonus”). The maximum amount granted under the Award shall not exceed $5 million.

The amounts to which Mr. Kelliher (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) are entitled to under the Signed Contract Bonus are payable in a cash lump-sum payment equal to the dollar value of the amounts earned within thirty (30) days following the Company entering into such signed, expanded or extended contract. Amounts earned under the Growth Award and the OSSP Bonus vest only upon Mr. Kelliher’s continued employment with the Company through December 31, 2012.  Mr. Kelliher (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) will receive a cash lump-sum payment equal to the dollar value of the earned and vested bonus amounts for the Growth Award and OSSP Bonus within thirty (30) days following the completion of the Company’s 2012 audited financial statements on a co nsolidated basis, but in no event later than April 30, 2013, unless the payment is deferred under the certain circumstances described in the Award.
 
 
In the event Mr. Kelliher’s employment with the Company is terminated before December 31, 2012, pursuant to Mr. Kelliher’s disability, death, or termination without just cause involving either: (a) the Company’s termination of Mr. Kelliher at any time without “just cause” by providing Mr. Kelliher with written notice; (b) by Mr. Kelliher at any time within twelve (12) months following the occurrence of (i) a Change in Location (as defined in his employment agreement) within the first (24) twenty-four months of his employment agreement, (ii) a Change of Control (as defined in his employment agreement) or (iii) a Change in Responsibility (as defined in his employment agreement); or (c) by Mr. Kelliher in the event the Company breaches any provision of the employ ment agreement (each of (a)-(c) as more fully described in Mr. Kelliher’s employment agreement), then Mr. Kelliher shall be entitled to full vesting of his awards provided no milestones have been missed. In the event that there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended) that will have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Award) on the international business or a sale of the Company’s international business operations while Mr. Kelliher is employed, Mr. Kelliher shall be entitled to full vesting of the Growth Award and the OSSP Bonus provided no milestones have been missed. Amounts to which Mr. Kelliher are entitled in this paragraph shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such event.

Under the Award, if Mr. Kelliher is an eligible employee on December 31, 2012, all Long Term Incentive Awards (including any outstanding options, restricted stock units and performance cash awards) outstanding as of September 1, 2010, as well as all contributions pursuant to the Amended and Restated Corporate and Subsidiary Capital Accumulation Plan, will be accelerated and become immediately vested and exercisable on December 31, 2012, to the extent not previously accelerated or vested. Mr. Kelliher and the Company also agreed that all amounts due and payable under the letter agreement by and between Mr. Kelliher and the Company, dated September 28, 2006, shall be paid to Mr. Kelliher before December 31, 2010.
 
In connection with the Award, Mr. Kelliher is subject to customary confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants during the term of his employment and for a period of two (2) years following the date of his termination.

The above summary of the Award does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Award that will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the current period.
