2005 Nonqualified Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan

 Exhibit 4.1 
  

UNITED FIRE & CASUALTY COMPANY 
 2005 NONQUALIFIED NON-EMPLOYEE 
 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN 
  

	I.	Purpose 

  
 United Fire & Casualty Company established the 2005 Nonqualified Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan upon the terms and conditions set forth
in this document. The Plan will permit the Company to grant Nonqualified Stock Options to purchase shares of its Common Stock. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of United Fire & Casualty Company through the attraction,
motivation and retention of qualified non-employee directors. The Plan will provide a means for non-employee directors to increase their equity ownership of the Company. By increasing their equity ownership of the Company, the economic interests of
the non-employee directors will more closely align with those of all other stockholders of the Company, and the non-employee directors will have an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and the Affiliated Companies.

	 	E.	All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Board of Directors may condition the delivery of any shares or other benefits under the
Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Board of Directors may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding
obligation to be satisfied through cash payments, through the surrender of shares of Common Stock which the participant already owns, or through the surrender of shares of Common Stock to which the participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan.

  

	 	F.	The Board of Directors’ interpretation and construction of the provisions of the Plan and the rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors shall be final. No member

entity. 

  

	V.	Participation in the Plan

	 	C.	Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement shall confer upon any Grantee any right to continue as a Director. 

 

	VI.	Stock Subject to the Plan 

  

	 	A.	There shall be reserved for the granting of Awards pursuant to the Plan, and for issuance and sale pursuant to such Awards, One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of
Common Stock, which the Board of Directors may allocate in any manner between Options and Restricted Stock. To determine the number of shares of Common Stock available at any time for the granting of Awards, there shall be deducted from the total
number of reserved shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Awards have been made pursuant to the Plan that are still outstanding or have been exercised. The shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection
with Awards made pursuant to the Plan shall be made available from the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or shares subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares. If for any reason shares of Common Stock as to which an Award
has been made are forfeited or otherwise cease to be subject to purchase pursuant to the Award, then such shares of Common Stock again shall be available for issuance in connection with Awards made pursuant to the Plan. 

  

	 	B.	Subject to Paragraph VI(C), the maximum number of shares that the Board of Directors may issue as Awards during any one calendar year is Thirty Thousand (30,000), which the Board of
Directors may allocate in any manner between Options and Restricted Stock. 

  

	 	C.	In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares of Common Stock, merger, consolidation, share exchange, acquisition of
property or stock, or any change in the capital structure of the Company, the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments as may be appropriate, in its discretion, in the number and kind of shares reserved for Awards and in the number, kind and
price of shares covered by Awards granted. 

  

	VII.	Grants of Awards. 

  

	 	A.	The Board of Directors may grant Awards at any time, in its sole discretion. 

  

	 	B.	The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to an Award. 

  

	 	C.	During any calendar year, Awards may consist of Options, Restricted Stock or a combination of Options and Restricted Stock. 

  

	VIII. 	Terms and Conditions of Options 

  

	 	A.	Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form as the Board of Directors from time to time may determine. 

 

	 	B.	The Board of Directors shall establish the Option Price at the time of the grant of Options pursuant to the Plan. The Option Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on
the Date of Grant. If the Board of Directors does not establish a specific Option Price on the Date of Grant, the exercise price per share shall be the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant. 

  

	 	C.	 Subject to the other limitations set forth in the Plan, each Option may be exercisable for a term of up to 10 years from the Date of Grant. On the Date of Grant,
the Board of 

  

 5 

	 	 
Directors shall determine the Option Expiration Date of each Option, provided however, if the Board of Directors does not establish the Option Expiration
Date, the Option Expiration Date shall be the date that is 10 years from the Date of Grant. Options shall expire and all rights granted by Option Agreements shall become null and void on the Option Expiration Date stated in the Option Agreement.

  

	 	D.	The Board of Directors may provide in the Option Agreement that the right to exercise each Option for the number of shares subject to each Option shall vest over such period as the
Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall determine for each Grantee. If the Board of Directors does not designate a vesting schedule, the Option granted to the Option holder shall not be exercisable until one (1) year after the date of
grant, at which time the Option will be fully exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Option Agreement shall provide that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, all Options then outstanding shall become immediately
exercisable. 

  

	 	E.	Options shall be nontransferable and nonassignable, except that a Grantee may transfer Options by testamentary instrument or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Board of Directors may set forth in the Option Agreement on the Date of Grant or thereafter, that the Grantee may transfer the Option to members of the Grantee’s immediate family, to trusts solely for the benefit of such
immediate family members and to partnerships in which such family members and/or trusts are the only partners. For this purpose, immediate family means the Grantee’s spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and legal dependents.
Any transfer of Options made pursuant to this provision shall not be effective until the Grantee or the Grantee’s personal representative has delivered notice of such transfer to the Company. If an Option is transferred in accordance with the
foregoing, the Option shall be exercisable solely by the transferee and shall remain subject to the provisions of the Plan. 

  

	 	F.	Options shall automatically terminate and be null and void as of the date the Grantee’s service on the Board of Directors terminates if such service terminates because of any
act of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) embezzlement, misappropriation, or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company or any Affiliated Company. 

  

	 	G.	Unless an Option is forfeited as provided in Paragraph VIII(F), upon the death of a Grantee or the retirement of a Grantee from the Board of Directors, that Grantee’s Options
whose term have not expired shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable. 

  

	 	H.	If a Grantee dies during the term of the Grantee’s Option without having fully exercised his Option, the executor or administrator of his estate or the person who inherits the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance shall have the right at any time following the Option holder’s death until the Option Exercise Date to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that the deceased Option holder was
entitled to purchase at the date of his death, after which the Option shall lapse. Upon the death of the transferee of an Option transferred in accordance with Paragraph VIII(E), the executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of the
transferee’s estate may exercise the Option, as the case may be, for a period of one (1) year following the date of the transferee’s death, provided that in no event may the Option be exercised after the Option Expiration Date.

  

 6 

	IX.	Methods of Exercise of Options 

  

	 	A.	A Grantee (or other person or persons, if any, entitled to exercise an Option hereunder) desiring to exercise an Option as to all or part of the shares of Common Stock covered by
the Option shall (i) give written notice to that effect to the Company at its principal office, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and the method of payment and (ii) make payment or provisions for payment for
the shares of Common Stock purchased in accordance with this Paragraph IX. Such written notice may be given by means of a facsimile transmission. If a facsimile transmission is used, the Option holder must mail the original executed copy of the
written notice to the Company promptly thereafter. 

  

	 	B.	Payment or provision for payment shall be made as follows: 

  

	 	1.	The Option holder shall deliver to the Company at the Company’s principal office, United States currency in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares of
Common Stock as to which such exercise relates; or 

  

	 	2.	The Option holder shall tender to the Company, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Common Stock already owned by the Option holder that, together with
any cash tendered therewith, have an aggregate fair market value (determined based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Company receives the notice referred to in Paragraph IX(A)) equal to the aggregate purchase price
of the shares of Common Stock as to which such exercise relates; or 

  

	 	3.	The Option holder shall deliver to the Company an exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan
proceeds necessary to pay the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock as to which such exercise relates and to sell the shares (or a sufficient portion of the shares) of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option to pay the
exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise and deliver the cash proceeds, less commissions and brokerage fees to the Option holder or to deliver the remaining shares of Common Stock to the Option holder.

  

	 	4.	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors may limit the methods by which an Option holder may exercise an Option. In processing any purported exercise of an
Option granted pursuant to the Plan, the Board of Directors may refuse to recognize the method of exercise selected by the Option holder (other than the method of exercise set forth in Subparagraph IX(B)(1)). 

  

	 	C.	An Option holder at any time may elect in writing to abandon an Option in respect of all or part of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Option shall not have been
exercised. 

  

	 	D.	An Option holder shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until the Company issues shares of Common Stock covered by the Option upon exercise of the Option.

  

	X.	Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards 

  

	 	A.	Each award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the Grantee and the Company in such form as the Board of Directors from time to time may
determine. Such Restricted Stocks shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of Restricted Stock Agreements need not be identical.

  

 7 

	 	B.	The Board of Directors may award Restricted Stock under the Plan for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine, including, without limitation, cash, cash
equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services; provided, however, that to the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Stock, the Award recipient shall furnish consideration with a value not less than
the par value of such Restricted Stock in the form of cash equivalents or past services rendered to the Company or its Affiliated Companies, as the Board of Directors may determine. 

  

	 	C.	The Board of Directors may make an award of Restricted Stock subject to vesting. Vesting may occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the
Restricted Stock Agreement. During any restricted period, the recipient shall not sell, transfer, pledge or assign Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Upon the retirement, disability or death of a Grantee of Restricted Stock, or in special
circumstances, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion may waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Grantee’s Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Restricted Stock Agreement
shall provide that all Restricted Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Agreement shall become fully vested upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. 

  

	 	D.	Holders of Restricted Stock shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that
holders of Restricted Stock invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Stock. Such additional Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.

  

	 	E.	When the Board of Directors grants an Award of Restricted Stock, the Company shall issue a certificate or certificates in respect of such Restricted Stock in the name of the
recipient. The certificate shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock in substantially the following form: 

  
 “The transferability of the shares represented by this certificate is
subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of a Restricted Stock Agreement entered into between the registered owner and United Fire & Casualty Company. A copy of the Restricted Stock Agreement is on file in the offices of
the Secretary of the Company, at 118 Second Avenue, SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52407-3909.” 
  

	XI.	Cancellation and Rescission of Awards 

  
 Unless an Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement specifies otherwise, the Board of Directors may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise
limit or restrict any unexpired or unpaid Awards at any time if the participant does not comply with all applicable provisions of the applicable Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement and the Plan. 
  

	XII.	Amendments and Discontinuance of the Plan 

  
 The Board of Directors shall have the right at any time and from time to time to amend, modify, or discontinue the Plan provided that, except as provided
in Paragraph VI(C), no such amendment, modification, or discontinuance of the Plan shall (i) revoke or alter the terms of any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan, (ii) increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be reserved
for issuance and sale pursuant to Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, (iii) change the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon or in connection with Awards granted pursuant to the Plan to any single
individual, (iv) decrease the price determined pursuant to the provisions of 

  

 8 

 
Paragraph VIII(B), (v) change the class of persons to whom Awards may be made pursuant to the Plan, or (vi) provide for Options exercisable more
than 10 years after the date granted. 
  

	XIII. 	Plan Subject to Governmental Laws and Regulations 

  
 The Plan and the terms of Awards made pursuant to the Plan are subject to all applicable governmental laws and regulations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board of Directors may in its sole and absolute discretion make such changes in the Plan as may be required to conform the Plan to such laws and regulations. 
  

	XIV. 	Liability Limited; Indemnification 

  

	 	A.	To the maximum extent permitted by Iowa law, the Company, the Board of Directors, the Committee and any members of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall not be liable for
any action or determination made with respect to this Plan. 

  

	 	B.	In addition to such other rights of indemnification that they may have, the Company shall indemnify the members of the Board of Directors and the Committee to the maximum extent
permitted by Iowa law against any and all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with their service in such capacity. 

  

	XV.	Miscellaneous 

  

	 	A.	The headings in this Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Plan. 

  

	 	B.	This Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to principles of conflict of laws of any jurisdiction.

  

	 	C.	All notices and other communications made or given pursuant to this Plan shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently made or given if delivered or mailed, addressed to the
employee at the address contained in the records of the Company or to the Company at 118 Second Avenue, SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52407-3909. 

  

	 	D.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Board of Directors nor the Committee shall have any authority to take any action under the Plan where such action
would affect the Company’s ability to account for any business combination as a “pooling of interests.” 

  

	XVI. 	Duration of the Plan 

  
 The Board of Directors shall make no Awards pursuant to the Plan after the close of business on December 31, 2014.
