the Unum Group Broad-Based Stock Plan of 2002, as amended (the “Plan”) is to promote the success, and enhance the value, of Unum Group (f/k/a 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).

Section 9.1, the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved and available for Options granted under the Plan shall be 2,350,000.

 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). 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 exercisable 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. 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. 

 (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. ACCELERATION UPON CERTAIN EVENTS NOT CONSTITUTING A CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of the
occurrence of any circumstance, transaction or event not constituting a Change in Control (as defined in Section 3.1) but which the Board deems to be, or to be reasonably likely to lead to, an effective change in control of the Corporation of a
nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of the 1934 Act, the Committee may in its sole discretion declare all outstanding Options to be fully exercisable as of such date as the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, declare, which may be on or before the consummation of such transaction or event. 
 8.7. ACCELERATION FOR ANY OTHER
REASON. Regardless of whether an event has occurred as described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 above, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion of a Participant’s Options shall become fully or
partially exercisable as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Options granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this
Section 8.7.] 
 8.8 EFFECT 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. 
 [8.9. TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be
final and conclusive. 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. 
 11.5. 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 Delaware. 
 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 2002 as adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on

of the Plan, the Committee shall be authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan;
provided, however, that the Committee shall have no discretion with respect to the eligibility or selection of Non-Employee Directors to receive awards under the Plan, the number of Shares subject to any such awards or the time at which any such
awards are to be granted. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties concerned
including the Company, its stockholders and persons granted awards under the Plan. The Committee may appoint a plan administrator to carry out the ministerial functions of the Plan, but the administrator shall have no other authority or powers of
the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall exercise any and all rights, duties and powers of the Committee under the Plan to the extent required by the applicable exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3, as determined by the Board its
sole discretion. 
         4.     Shares Subject to Plan.
  The Shares issued under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 500,000 Shares of Common Stock. Such Shares may be acquired on the open market or issued out of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares. 
         5.     Retainers, Fees and Expenses. 
         (a)     Base Annual Retainer.   Each

hereto. The Board may change the amount and payment schedule of the Base Annual Retainer at any time by amending Exhibit A, which amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant. Each Participant who first becomes
a Non-Employee Director on a date other than an Annual Meeting Date shall be paid a pro rata Base Annual Retainer equal to the Base Annual Retainer for such Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months
between the date on which such Participant first becomes a Non-Employee Director and the immediately following Annual Meeting Date, and the denominator of which is 12. Payment of such prorated Base Annual Retainer shall begin on the date that the
person first becomes a Non-Employee Director. Amounts payable pursuant to the Base Annual Retainer, unless deferred in accordance with the terms of Section 6, shall be paid to each Participant on the applicable Annual Meeting Date, and in any
event no later than March 15 of the year next following the year in which such amounts are earned.

Board or of a committee of the Board during a Plan Year. The amount and payment schedule of the Supplemental Annual Retainers shall be established from time to time by the Board and set forth on Exhibit A hereto. The Board may change the amount and
payment schedule of the Supplemental Annual Retainers at any time by amending Exhibit A, which 

  

 – 3 – 

 
amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant. A pro rata Supplemental Annual Retainer will be paid to any Non-Employee
Director who becomes the chair or co-chair of the Board or of a committee of the Board on a date other than the Annual Meeting Date equal to the amount of such Supplemental Annual Retainer for such Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of full months between the date on which such Non-Employee Director becomes the chair or co-chair of the Board or of a committee of the Board and the immediately following Annual Meeting Date, and the denominator of which is
12. Amounts payable pursuant to any Supplemental Annual Retainer shall be paid to each Participant no later than March 15 of the year next following the year in which such amounts are earned. 
         (c)     Form of Payment.   Any amount of the Annual
Retainer not elected to be received in the form of Deferred Share Rights, as provided in Section 6, shall be paid to the Participant in cash in the amounts and at the time set forth in the Plan. 
         (d)     Meeting Fees.   Each Non-Employee Director
shall be paid a fee in cash for each meeting of the Board or committee thereof in which he or she participates (each, a “Meeting Fee”). The amount and payment schedule of the Meeting Fee shall be established from time to time by the Board
and set forth on Exhibit A hereto. The Board may change the amount and payment schedule of the Meeting Fee at any time by amending Exhibit A, which amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant. Amounts payable
pursuant to Meeting Fees shall be paid to each Participant no later than March 15 of the year next following the year in which such amounts are earned. 
         (e)      Special Project Fees.   Each Non-Employee Director may be paid a fee in cash for special project work
undertaken in his or her capacity as a Non-Employee Director (each, a “Special Project Fee”). The amount and payment schedule of each such Special Project Fee shall be established from time to time by the Board and set forth on Exhibit A
hereto. The Board may change the amount and payment schedule of each Special Project Fee at any time by amending Exhibit A, which amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant. Amounts payable pursuant to any
Special Project Fee shall be paid to each Participant no later than March 15 of the year next following the year in which such amounts are earned. 
         (f)     Travel Expense Reimbursement.   All Non-Employee Directors shall be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses (including
spouse’s expenses to attend up to one event per Plan Year to which spouses are invited) in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board and its committees, or other Company functions at which the Chief Executive Officer requests the
Non-Employee Director to participate. If the travel expense is related to the reimbursement of commercial airfare, such reimbursement will not exceed first class rates for domestic travel or business-class rates for international travel. If the
travel expense is related to reimbursement of non-commercial air travel, such reimbursement shall not exceed the rate for comparable travel by means of commercial airlines. Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be limited to
expenses incurred during the Non-Employee Director’s lifetime. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any taxable year for any Non-Employee Director shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement pursuant
during any other taxable year for such Non-Employee Director. Reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be made on or before the last day of the Non-Employee Director’s taxable year next following the taxable year in
which the expense was incurred. A Non-Employee Director’s right to reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 
         6.     Deferred Share Rights. 
         (a)     Election to Receive Deferred Share Rights.
  A Non-Employee Director may elect to receive up to 100% of his or her Annual Retainer in the form of Deferred Share Rights in accordance with this 

  

 – 4 – 

 
Section 6. An election pursuant to this Section 6 in respect of any Plan Year must be made by delivering a valid Election Form to Executive
Compensation during the Election Period for such Plan Year. 
         (b)     Irrevocable Elections.   Elections pursuant to this Section 6 shall be valid only for one Plan Year. New elections pursuant to this
Section 6 must be separately made for each individual Plan Year. Each election pursuant to this Section 6 shall be irrevocable upon the conclusion of the Election Period for the applicable Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Participant may change an irrevocable election made pursuant to this Section 6 by delivering a revised Election Form to Executive Compensation, provided that (i) such change shall not take effect until 12 months after the date on which
such revised Election Form becomes effective, (ii) unless the election to be changed is in respect of payment on account of death, Disability, or Unforeseeable Emergency, a payment may not be made pursuant to such revised Election Form change
until the date that is five years after the date payment would have been made pursuant to the initial election and (iii) if the election to be changed is in respect of a payment on a designated date or dates pursuant to Section 6(e)(ii), a
payment may not be made pursuant to such change until the date that is 12 months after such revised Election Form becomes effective. 
         (c)     Time of Grant.   Deferred Share Rights shall be granted to each Non-Employee Director who, during the applicable Election
Period, filed with Executive Compensation an Election Form to receive Deferred Share Rights as payment of some or all of such Non-Employee Director’s Annual Retainer in respect of the applicable Plan Year. Such Deferred Share Rights will be
granted on the date the Annual Retainer for such Plan Year is otherwise payable (the “Grant Date”). 
         (d)     Number of Deferred Share Rights.   The number of Deferred Share Rights granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be the number of whole Shares
equal to (i) the dollar amount of the portion of the Annual Retainer that the Non-Employee Director elects shall be payable in the form of Deferred Share Rights, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. In
determining the number of Deferred Share Rights, any fraction of a Deferred Share Right will be rounded to the next lowest whole number of Deferred Share Rights. 
         (e)     Nature of Deferred Share Rights.   Each Deferred Share Right constitutes the right to receive one
Share of Common Stock on the earlier of (i) the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, the six-month anniversary of such Separation from Service), death or Disability and (ii) a specified date at least three years after the date of such deferral election (in either case, the “Deferral Termination Date”).
Pursuant to the Election Form, the Participant will elect whether the Shares will be (A) issued within 30 days after the Deferral Termination Date or (B) issued in approximately equal annual installments of Shares over a period of three,
five or seven years (as the Participant may elect) after the Deferral Termination Date, each such annual issuance to be made within 30 days after the anniversary of the Deferral Termination Date (the date of such issuance, whether pursuant to
subsection (A) or (B), the “Payment Date”). For bookkeeping purposes, any amounts which the Participant elects to receive in the form of Deferred Share Rights, and any Distributions credited in accordance with Section 6(f), shall
be transferred to and held in individual deferral accounts. Shares will be issued in respect of Deferred Share Rights on the Payment Date, at which time the Company agrees to issue Shares of Common Stock to the Participant. The Participant will have
no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Deferred Share Rights, and the Deferred Share Rights will be unsecured. 
         (f)     Dividend Equivalents.   If any dividends or other rights or distributions of any kind (“Distributions”) are distributed to holders of
Common Stock during the period between the applicable Grant Date and the Payment Date (the “Deferral Period”), an amount (the “Credited Distribution”) shall be credited to the Participant’s account equal to the product of
(i) the number of Deferred Share Rights credited to a Participant’s deferral account as of the date of the Distribution and (ii) the per Share cash value of such Distributions on their distribution date. The Credited Distribution
shall be credited to the Participant’s account by adding to the balance of such account a number of Shares equal to (A) the 

  

 – 5 – 

 
amount of the Credited Distribution divided by (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the applicable Distribution. Credited Distributions
shall be settled in Shares at the same time as the original Deferred Share Rights with respect to which the Credited Distributions were made. 
         (g)     Transferability of Deferred Share Rights.   No Deferred Share Rights shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No right or interest in the Deferred Share Rights shall be subject to liability for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or shall be subject to disposition by transfer,
alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings
(including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6(g) shall prevent transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

         (h)     Unforeseeable Emergency.
  The Board may accelerate the payment in Shares of all or a portion of a Participant’s Deferred Share Rights on account of his or her Unforeseeable Emergency. For purposes of this Plan, “Unforeseeable Emergency,” as
determined by the Board in its sole discretion on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances and in accordance with the following standards, shall have the meaning given that term under Section 409A of the Code and regulations
promulgated thereunder, including without limitation Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(3). Distributions due to Unforeseeable Emergency shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency. The financial
need of a Participant shall not constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency unless the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency is at least $500,000, or the entire value of the principal amount of the Participant’s Deferred
Share Rights. 
         (i)     Funding.
  Deferred Share Rights shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or as otherwise directed by the Company. To the extent that any Participant acquires the right to receive Deferred Share Rights under the Plan, such right shall
be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Participants and their beneficiaries shall not have any preference or security interest in the assets of the Company other than as a general unsecured creditor. 
         (j)     Designation of Beneficiary.   All amounts or
Shares payable under the Plan shall be paid to the appropriate Participant; provided, however, that a Participant may, by written instruction during the Participant’s lifetime on a form prescribed by Executive Compensation, designate one or
more primary beneficiaries to receive the amount or Shares payable hereunder following the Participant’s death, and may designate the proportions in which such beneficiaries are to receive such payments. A Participant may change such
designations from time to time, and the last written designation filed with the Committee prior to the Participant’s death shall control. A beneficiary designation shall not be considered effective unless made on a form prescribed by Executive
Compensation which is delivered to Executive Compensation. If any Participant shall fail to designate a beneficiary or shall designate a beneficiary who shall fail to survive the Participant, the beneficiary shall be the Participant’s surviving
spouse, or, if none, the Participant’s surviving descendants (who shall take per stirpes) and if there are no surviving descendants, the beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. 
         7.    Prorated Grants.   If on any date, Shares of
Common Stock are not available under the Plan to grant to any Non-Employee Director the full amount of a grant of Deferred Share Rights contemplated by the Plan, then each such director shall receive an award of Deferred Share Rights equal to the
number of Shares of Common Stock then available under the Plan divided by the number of Deferred Share Rights that would otherwise be granted pursuant to the Plan. Fractional Shares shall be ignored and not granted. Any shortfall resulting from such
proration shall be paid in the form of cash. 
  

 – 6 – 

         8.     Stock
Ownership Guidelines.   Each Non-Employee Director is expected to have or acquire a minimum number of Shares of Common Stock (such minimum number is shown on Exhibit A, as adjusted from time to time by the Board). 
         9.     Adjustments. 
         (a)     Notwithstanding any other term of this Plan, in the event
that the Committee determines that any Distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or
event, in the Committee’s sole discretion, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan or with respect to an award or awards hereunder, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and type of shares (or other securities or property) which may be granted under the Plan
(including, but not limited to, adjustments of the maximum number and kind of securities which may be issued). 
         (b)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of any corporate transaction or event described in paragraph (a) which results in Shares being
exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or other property (including securities of another corporation), all Deferred Share Rights granted under Section 6 shall become the right to receive such cash, securities or other property on the
earlier of (i) the applicable Payment Date and (ii) an event that is a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
         (c)     The number of Shares finally granted under this Plan shall
always be rounded to the next lowest whole Share, subject to availability of Shares under Section 4. Any fractional Shares that would otherwise be deliverable shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional
share. 
         (d)     Any decision of the Committee pursuant
to the terms of this Section 9 shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participants, the Company and all other interested parties. 
         10.     Amendment.   The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder
approval (but subject to the provisions herein requiring the consent of Participants for certain amendments); provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, require stockholder approval under
applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval. No termination,
modification or amendment of the Plan (other than an automatic amendment pursuant to the terms of the Plan) may, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect a Participant’s rights under an award granted prior thereto. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan, no termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may be made if such termination, modification or amendment would result in the imposition of taxes or penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

         11.     Responsibility for Investment Choices.
  Each Participant is solely responsible for any decision to receive an Annual Retainer in the form of Deferred Share Rights and accepts all investment risks entailed by such decision, including the risk of loss and a decrease in the value
of the amounts he or she elects to receive in the form of Deferred Share Rights. 
         12.     Indemnification.   Each person who is or has been a member of the Committee or who otherwise participates in the administration or operation of
this Plan shall be indemnified by the Company 

  

 – 7 – 

 
against, and held harmless from, any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from
any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which such person may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and shall be fully reimbursed by the Company for any and all amounts paid by such person in satisfaction of
judgment against him or her in any such action, suit or proceeding, provided he or she will give the Company an opportunity, by written notice to the Committee, to defend the same at the Company’s own expense before he or she undertakes to
defend it on his or her own behalf. This right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification. 
         The Committee and the Board may rely upon any information furnished by the Company, its public accountants and other experts. No individual will have personal liability by reason of anything
done or omitted to be done by the Company, the Committee or the Board in connection with the Plan. 
         13.     Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall remain in effect until the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held in 2009, unless terminated earlier by
the Board in accordance with Section 10 hereof. 
         14.     Expenses of the Plan. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company. 
         The foregoing is hereby acknowledged as being the Unum Group Non-Employee Director
Compensation Plan of 2004 as amended and restated by the Board of Directors of the Company on December [__], 2008.
