and as further amended by the Committee (as herein defined) on August 15, 2007 (the “Plan”) is to promote the success, and enhance the value, of UnumProvident Corporation (the “Corporation”), by linking the personal
interests of its employees, officers, consultants, and Producers to those of Corporation stockholders and by providing such persons with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Corporation
in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of employees, officers, consultants and Producers upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Corporation’s operation is largely dependent.
Accordingly, the Plan permits the grant of incentive awards from time to time to selected employees, officers, consultants, Producers and directors. The Plan is intended to be a broad-based plan for purposes of Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company
Manual. No awards shall be granted under the Plan to its Officers or Directors (as defined below).

by the Human Capital Committee (formerly the Compensation Committee) of the Board (the “Committee”) or by the Board. During any time that the Board is acting as administrator of the Plan, it shall have all the powers of the Committee
hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee (other than in this Section 4.1) shall include the Board. 
     4.2         ACTION BY THE COMMITTEE.   For purposes of administering the Plan, the following rules of procedure shall govern the Committee. A majority of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved unanimously in writing by 









 
the members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith,
rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary, the Corporation’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation
consultant or other professional retained by the Corporation to assist in the administration of the Plan. 
     4.3         AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE.   Except as provided below, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to: 
     (a)         Designate Participants; 
     (b)         Determine the type or types of Options to be
granted to each Participant; 
     (c)        
Determine the number of Options to be granted and the number of shares of Stock to which an Option will relate;

restrictions or limitations on the Option, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Option, and accelerations or waivers thereof, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its
sole discretion determines; 
     (e)        
Accelerate the vesting, exercisability or lapse of restrictions of any outstanding Option, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines;

what circumstances the exercise price of an Option may be paid in, cash, Stock, or other property, or an Option may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered;

     (k)         Amend the Plan or any Option Agreement as provided herein; and 
 (l)         Adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of non-U.S.
jurisdictions in which the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary may operate, in order to assure the viability of the benefits of Options granted to participants located in such other jurisdictions and to meet the objectives of the Plan; and

     (m)         Delegate its general
administrative duties under the Plan to an officer or employee or committee of officers or employees of the Corporation. 
         Notwithstanding the above, the Board or the Committee may expressly delegate to a special committee consisting of one or more Directors who are also officers of the Corporation some or all of
the Committee’s authority under subsections (a) through (g) above. 
         4.4.         DECISIONS BINDING. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Options granted under the Plan, any Option Agreement and all
decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act done in good faith. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE
PLAN 
         5.1.         NUMBER OF
SHARES. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.1, the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved and available for Options granted under the Plan shall be 2,000,000. 
         5.2.          LAPSED AWARDS. To the extent
that an Option is canceled, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, any shares of Stock subject to the Option will again be available for the grant of Options under the Plan. 
         5.3.         STOCK DISTRIBUTED. Any Stock
distributed pursuant to an Option may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open market. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 ELIGIBILITY 
         6.1.         GENERAL. Options may be granted only to individuals who are employees, officers,
consultants, Producers or directors of the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary; provided, however, that no Options shall be granted under the Plan to a person who is an Officer or Director (as such capitalized terms are defined in
Section 3.1). 








 ARTICLE 7 
 STOCK OPTIONS 
         7.1.         GENERAL.   The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions: 

            (a)         EXERCISE PRICE.   The exercise price per share of Stock under an Option shall be determined by the
Committee, provided that the exercise price for any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of the grant. 
             (b)         TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE.   The Committee shall determine the time or
times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Section 7.1(e). Except with respect to Options subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee also shall determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that
must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised or vested. The Committee may waive any exercise or vesting provisions at any time in whole or in part based upon factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion so that
the Option becomes exerciseable or vested at an earlier date. The Committee may permit an arrangement whereby receipt of Stock upon exercise of an Option is delayed until a specified future date. 
             (c)         PAYMENT.   The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may
be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Stock, or other property (including “cashless exercise” arrangements or “attestation” of shares previously owned), and the methods by which shares of
Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants; provided that if shares of Stock are used to pay the exercise price of an Option (either by attestation or actual delivery), such shares must have been held by the Participant for
at least six months. Subject to the terms hereof, and any applicable law or agreement, payment of the exercise price of an Option may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in
accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee, which shall be in compliance with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. Further, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, as determined
by the Corporation’s outside counsel, one or more payments under this Section 7.1(c) shall be delayed to the six month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service, within the meaning of Code Section 409A. In
addition, payments under this Section 7.1(c) may be delayed if timely payment is administratively impracticable and the impracticability was unforeseeable, if making a timely payment would jeopardize the ability of Employer to continue as a
going concern, or if deduction of the payment is restricted by Code Section 162(m) and a reasonable person would not have anticipated that restriction at the time the legally binding right to the payment arose. In each case, payment must be
made as soon as the reason for the delay ceases to exist. 








             (d)         EVIDENCE OF GRANT.   All Options shall be evidenced by a written Option Agreement between the
Corporation and the Participant. The Option Agreement shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be specified by the Committee. 
             (e)         EXERCISE TERM.   In no event may any Option be
exercisable for more than ten years from the date of its grant. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
         8.1.     LIMITS ON TRANSFER.   No right or interest of a Participant in any Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party
other than the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary. No Option shall be assignable or
transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Option under the Plan;
provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such transferability is appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, any
state or federal tax or securities laws or regulations applicable to transferable Options. 
         8.2.     BENEFICIARIES.   Notwithstanding Section 8.1, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to
exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Option upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject
to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Option Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Option Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the beneficiary. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any
time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 
         8.3.     STOCK CERTIFICATES.   All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems
necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place
legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. 








         8.4.    
ACCELERATION UPON DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.   Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any Participant’s Option Agreement to the contrary, upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his employment
or service as a consultant, Producer or director, or upon the Participant’s Retirement (if applicable), all of the Participant’s outstanding Options shall become fully exercisable. Any Option shall thereafter continue or lapse in
accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Option Agreement. 
         8.5.     ACCELERATION UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL.   Except as otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all
outstanding Options shall become fully exercisable; provided, however that such acceleration will not occur if, in the opinion of the Corporation’s accountants, such acceleration would preclude the use of “pooling of interest”
accounting treatment for a Change in Control transaction that (a) would otherwise qualify for such accounting treatment, and (b) is contingent upon qualifying for such accounting treatment. 
         8.6     FFECT OF ACCELERATION.   If an Option is
accelerated under Section 8.5, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that the Option will expire after a designated period of time after such acceleration to the extent not then exercised, (ii) that the Option will be
settled in cash rather than Stock, (iii) that the Option will be assumed by another party to the transaction giving rise to the acceleration or otherwise be equitably converted in connection with such transaction, or (iv) any combination
of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. 
         8.7     TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.   The employment
relationship shall be treated as continuing while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the individual retains a right to
reemployment with the service recipient under an applicable statute or by contract. A termination of employment shall not occur in (i) a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Corporation to one of its Parents or Subsidiaries,
transfers from a Parent or Subsidiary to the Corporation, or transfers from one Parent or Subsidiary to another Parent or Subsidiary, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off,
sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
         9.1.     GENERAL.   In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Corporation (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee may
adjust Options to preserve the benefits 









 
or potential benefits of the Options. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under
the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Options; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Options; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable.
Without limiting the foregoing, in the event a stock dividend or stock split is declared upon the Stock, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall be increased proportionately, and the shares of Stock then subject to each Option shall be
increased proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 
         10.1.     AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION.   The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend,
modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that the Board or Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Corporation if such approval is necessary or deemed
advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. 
         10.2         AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED.   At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Option without approval of the Participant; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or
diminish the value of such Option determined as if the Option had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination; and provided further that the original term of any Option may not be extended and,
except as otherwise provided in the anti-dilution provision of the Plan, the exercise price of any Option may not be reduced. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Option previously granted under the Plan,
without the written consent of the Participant. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
         11.1.     NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS.   No person shall have any claim to be granted any Option under the Plan, and neither the Corporation nor the Committee is
obligated to treat Participants or eligible Participants uniformly. 
         11.2.     NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.   No Option gives the Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation unless and until shares of Stock
are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Option. 
         11.3.     WITHHOLDING.   The Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant
to remit to the 









 
Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be
withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Option is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any
such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Option shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for
tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. 
         11.4.     NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER STATUS.   Nothing in the Plan or any Option Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, consultant, Producer or director at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, consultant,
Producer or director of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary. 
         l1.5.     UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS.   The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Option, nothing contained in the Plan or any Option Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Corporation or any Parent or
Subsidiary. 
         11.6.     RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER
BENEFITS.   No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Corporation or any Parent or
Subsidiary unless provided otherwise in such other plan. 
         11.7.     EXPENSES.   The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation and its Parents or Subsidiaries. 
         11.8.     TITLES AND HEADINGS.   The titles and
headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
         11.9.     GENDER AND NUMBER.   Except where
otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
         11.10.     FRACTIONAL SHARES.   No fractional shares
of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up. 
         11.11.     GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.   The
obligation of the Corporation to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all 









 
applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Corporation shall be under no obligation to
register under the 1933 Act, or any state securities act, any of the shares of Stock issued in connection with the Plan. The shares issued in connection with the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, and
the Corporation may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 
         11.12.     GOVERNING LAW.   To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Option Agreements shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. 
         11.13.     ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.   Each Option Agreement may contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that such
other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan. 
         The foregoing is hereby acknowledged as being the Unum Group Broad-Based Stock Plan of 2001 as amended by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on February 8, 2001 and as further
amended by the Committee on August 15, 2007.
