THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of [Grant Date], is entered into by and between Unum Group, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [Participant Name] (the “Director”). 
W I T N E S S E T H 
In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived herefrom, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
		
	1.
	Grant, Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. 

(a)Grant. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to the provisions of the Unum Group Stock Incentive Plan of 2012 (the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to the Director, as of [Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”), [Number Granted] Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”), each with respect to one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per Share. All capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

(b)Vesting During the Restriction Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and no longer be subject to any restriction on the anniversaries of the Grant Date set forth below (the period during which restrictions apply, the “Restriction Period”):
	
		
	 
	 

	Vesting Date
	Percentage of Total Grant Vesting

	First Anniversary of the Grant Date
	100%

    
(c)    Forfeiture Upon Termination of Service: Accelerated Vesting Upon Termination Due to Death or Disability.

(i)Upon the Director's Termination of Service (as defined below) for any reason (other than due to the Director's death, Disability or Retirement) during the Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock Units still subject to restriction shall be forfeited.

(ii)Upon the Director's Termination of Service during the Restriction Period due to the Director's death, Disability or Retirement, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested.

(iii)For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Director's Termination of Service after the attainment of at least four years of continuous service as a director of the Company only if such Termination of Service is approved as a “Retirement” by the Committee.

(iv)For purposes of this Agreement, service with the Company shall include service with the Company's Affiliates and successors. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such Affiliates to terminate the Director's service at any time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination of Service” means the termination of the Director's service with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

		
	2.
	Settlement of Units.

As soon as practicable after the date on which the Restriction Period expires, and in no event later than 30 days after such date, the Company shall deliver to the Director or his or her personal representative, in book-position or certificate form, one Share that does not bear any restrictive legend for each Share subject to the Restricted Stock Unit.

		
	3.
	Nontransferability of the Restricted Stock Units.

During the Restriction Period and until such time as the Restricted Stock Units are ultimately settled as provided

1

in Section 2 above, the Restricted Stock Units and Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable by the Director by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, hedge or otherwise. Any purported or attempted transfer of such Restricted Stock Units or Shares shall be null and void.

		
	4.
	Rights as a Stockholder.

During the Restriction Period, the Director shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units (including, without limitation, any voting rights), provided that with respect to any dividends paid on Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, such dividends will be reinvested into additional Restricted Stock Units, which, as applicable, shall vest and be settled at such time as the underlying Restricted Stock Units vest and are settled.
		
	5.
	Adjustment; Change in Control.

In the event of certain transactions during the Restriction Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(d) of the Plan or any applicable successor provision under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in Section 1 to the contrary: (a) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless a Replacement Award is granted in respect of the Restricted Stock Units (in which case this clause (a) shall not apply), the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and such Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions and fully vested as of such Change in Control and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the date of such Change in Control (but not later than 30 days thereafter); and (b) if a Replacement Award is granted in respect of the Restricted Stock Units in connection with such Change in Control, upon a Termination of Service of the Director occurring upon or during the two years immediately following the date of such Change in Control, the restrictions applicable to such Replacement Award, to the extent not vested as of such Termination of Service, shall lapse, and such Replacement Award shall become free of all restrictions and fully vested and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the date of Termination of Service (but not later than 30 days thereafter); provided, however, that any Restricted Stock Units that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” as defined under Section 409A of the Code shall, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, not be so settled unless the Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (it being understood that nothing in this Section 5 shall preclude the Company from settling upon a Change in Control any Restricted Stock Units that are not replaced by a Replacement Award, to the extent effectuated in accordance with Treasury Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(ix)).
		
	6.
	Payment of Transfer Taxes, Fees and Other Expenses.

The Company agrees to pay any and all original issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may be imposed on the issuance of Shares received by the Director in connection with the Restricted Stock Units, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
		
	7.
	Other Restrictions.

(a)The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law is required, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body is required, then in any such event, the grant of Restricted Stock Units shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

(b)The Director is an insider as described under the Company's Insider Trading Policy (as in effect from time to time and any successor policies). Accordingly, the Director shall be required to obtain pre-clearance from the General Counsel or Securities Counsel of the Company prior to purchasing or selling any of the Company's securities, including any Shares issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and may be prohibited from selling such securities other than during an open trading window. The Director further acknowledges that, in its discretion, the Company may prohibit the Director from selling such securities even during an open trading window if the Company has concerns over the potential for insider trading.

		
	8.
	Taxes.

As a non-employee director of the Company, the Director will be responsible for, and will duly and timely comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the collection, payment, reporting and remittance of any and all federal, state or local taxes, charges or fees resulting from the receipt of amounts described in this Agreement.

	15.
	Section 409A.

It is the intention of the Company that the Restricted Stock Units shall either (a) not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” as defined under Section 409A of the Code, or (b) comply in all respects with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such that no delivery of or failure to deliver Shares pursuant to this Agreement will result in the imposition of taxation or penalties as a consequence of the application of Section 409A of the Code. Restricted Stock Units that (i) constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” as defined under Section 409A of the Code and (ii) vest as a consequence of the Director's Termination of Service shall not be delivered until the date that the Director incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. If the Company determines after the Grant Date that an amendment to this Agreement is necessary to ensure the foregoing, it may make such an amendment, notwithstanding Section 14 above, effective as of the Grant Date or any later date, without the consent of the Director.
