Special Incentive Bonus

 

 

The purpose of the Special Incentive Bonus is to recognize the increased
responsibilities you will temporarily assume during an important transitional
period for the organization. If you stay with Unitrin Services Company and
continue to satisfactorily perform your job through March 15, 2011, you will be
eligible to receive a 25% bonus based upon your base annual salary as of
April 1, 2010.

If your employment with Unitrin Services Company should end prior to March 15,
2011 due to your voluntary resignation or termination for cause, you will not be
entitled to the bonus award or any portion thereof.

The bonus will be paid as a lump sum payroll item by March 15, 2011.

This is considered a confidential matter and is not to be discussed with your
Unitrin colleagues.

I want to personally thank you for your hard work thus far and ask for your
continued support going forward.
