 Exhibit A 

To Multi-Year Incentive Award Agreement 
 Overview: This Exhibit A sets forth the terms that will determine the amount of the cash payout, if any, that the Participant may be entitled to receive pursuant to the Award based on the
achievement of the applicable performance goals measured over the Performance Period. 
 Performance Period: January 1, 2011 through
December 31, 2013 
 Target Bonus Percentage: The applicable Target Bonus Percentage for the Award is set forth in Table 1 below,
under the heading “Target”. The Target Bonus Percentage is expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary, as defined herein. 
 Threshold, Target and Maximum performance levels: The applicable Threshold, Target and Maximum levels of performance for the Award are set forth below. 

Table 1. Performance Levels 
  

							
	 Type of Award

	 Multi-Year Awards
	 		 		 	

 Base Salary: Base Salary shall be calculated by computing a simple average of the Participant’s annual
base salary in effect as of April 1 during each year of the Performance Period. 
 Performance Measures: The performance measures
applicable to this Award are Revenue Growth and Return on Equity, as defined herein. The performance goals for each applicable measure are shown in the Performance Matrix in Exhibit A-1, which shows Return on Equity on the X axis and Revenue Growth
on the Y axis. 
 Revenue Growth: Revenue Growth is defined as the three-year compound annual growth rate, calculated as [(A/B)^(1/3)-1],
where A = Total Revenues excluding Net Realized Investment Gains or Losses as reported in the 2012 Unitrin Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) and B = Total Revenues excluding Net Realized Investment Gains or Losses as reported in
the 2009 Annual Report. 
 Return on Equity: Return on Equity is defined as the return on average shareholders’ equity, which shall
be computed by dividing the sum of GAAP Net Income as reported in the Annual Reports for each of the three years in the Performance Period by the sum of the Average Shareholders’ Equity for each of the three years. Average Shareholders’
Equity is defined as the simple average of Total Shareholders’ Equity as reported in the Annual Reports for the beginning and end of year for each year in the Performance Period. 
 Target Multiplier: At the end of the Performance Period, the Participant will be assigned a Target Multiplier, which is derived from the Performance Matrix in Exhibit A-1 based on achievement of
the performance goals. For performance between points on the Performance Matrix, the Target Multiplier will be interpolated on a straight-line basis. 
 Award Percentage: The Target Multiplier will be applied against Participant’s Target Bonus Percentage to determine the Award Percentage for the Participant.

 Award Calculation: The determination of the amount of the payout, if any, under the Award will be
calculated by multiplying the Participant’s Award Percentage by the Participant’s Base Salary. The calculation formulas are illustrated below. 
 Target Multiplier * Participant’s applicable Target Bonus Percentage = Award Percentage 
 Award Percentage * Base Salary = Final Cash Award payable under the Plan

Example: Below is an illustrative example of a calculation for a potential payout under the Award for a sample participant with a Base Salary of $100,000.

 Adjustments: The Compensation
Committee of the Unitrin, Inc. Board of Directors may, in its discretion: 
  

	(i)	in evaluating performance in connection with this Award, include or exclude any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset
write-downs; (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results; (d) any reorganization or restructuring;

	(ii)	make adjustments to the established performance goals applicable to this Award to reflect changes to the job responsibilities of the Participant or the structure of the
Company or its Affiliates that relate directly to such established performance goals for all or a portion of the applicable Performance Period; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made to an Award to an employee whose compensation is
subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if such adjustment would cause the compensation payable under the Award to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).
