Any capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Plan.  
1.Issuance of Restricted Shares.  The Restricted Shares shall be issued to you as of the Date of Grant.  The Restricted Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable and shall be subject to the restrictions hereinafter set forth.

2.Restrictions on Transfer.  You may not sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, exchange or otherwise encumber or dispose the Restricted Shares, except to the Company, until they have become nonforfeitable as provided in paragraph 3 hereof and in accordance with Section 6 of the Plan.  Any purported encumbrance or disposition in violation of the provisions of this paragraph 2 shall be void ab initio, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the Restricted Shares.  

3.Lapse of Restrictions on Restricted Shares.  

(a)Except as provided in paragraphs 3(b) and 4(b) below, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall lapse and the Restricted Shares shall become nonforfeitable if you remain a director, officer or employee (or an approved service provider) of the Company or a Subsidiary through the vesting dates set forth on the last page of this agreement.

(b)Except as expressly set for in any written employment agreement between you and the Company or a Subsidiary (whether entered into prior to or after the date of this agreement), if the Company or its successor shall terminate your employment for any reason (other than for “Cause” as defined in paragraph 7 hereof) within two years following a Change in Control, any restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall lapse and the Restricted Shares shall become nonforfeitable upon such termination.

4.Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.  

(a) Except as expressly set forth in paragraph 4(b) below or in any written employment agreement between you and the Company or a Subsidiary (whether entered into prior to or after the date of this agreement), if you cease to be (or do not become) a director, officer or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary (or cease (or do not begin) to otherwise perform services for the Company or a Subsidiary) for any reason, except as and to the extent the restrictions on the Restricted Shares have lapsed (i.e., become nonforfeitable pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof), you 

shall forfeit the portion of the Restricted Shares with respect to which the restrictions have not lapsed and the Restricted Shares so forfeited shall be canceled.
(b)  If you elect to terminate your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary and you satisfy the definition of Retirement set forth in the Plan, then any unvested Restricted Shares shall continue to vest after your retirement on the same vesting schedules as if you had remained an employee.   
5.Dividend, Voting and Other Rights.  Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, from and after the Date of Grant, you shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote the Restricted Shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided, however, that any additional Common Stock or other securities that you may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer as the forfeitable Restricted Shares in respect of which they are issued or transferred and shall become Restricted Shares for the purposes of this agreement.

Upon satisfaction of such vesting criteria, the shares of Common Stock that have vested will be issued to you and shall be fully paid and nonassessable. 
 
2.Transfer Restrictions.  You may not sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, exchange or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Performance Shares, except to the Company.

Decisions regarding vesting and payment of the Performance Shares shall be final as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c)Any Performance Shares that do not vest pursuant to Section 3(a) above shall be cancelled.

(d)Except as expressly set forth in any written employment agreement between you and the Company or a Subsidiary (whether entered into prior to or after the date of this letter agreement), if the Company or its successor shall terminate your employment for any reason (other than for “Cause” as defined in Section 7 hereof) within two years following a Change in Control (but not later than December 31, 2017), the Performance Shares shall vest on a pro rata basis based on the number of days from January 1, 2015 to and including the date your employment is terminated, divided by 1,096.

Schedule A-1 to
Performance Share Award Agreement
TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN (TSR) PERFORMANCE SHARE TARGETS

	
		
	36-month Relative TSR
Performance (1/1/15-12/31/17) 
	TSR Performance Share
Payout (Vesting)  

	 
	 

	At or above 75th percentile
	 200%

	50th percentile
	100%

	25th percentile 
	50%

	Below 25th percentile
	NO PAYOUT

            
The Company’s relative TSR percentile rank for the performance period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017 will be calculated in a two-step process.  First, the TSR will be calculated for the Company and each company in the peer group listed below.  Then the TSR percentile rank for the Company and each of the companies in the peer group will be determined.  The TSR and the TSR percentile rank will be determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in accordance with the formula and methods described below.  

Formula for Calculating TSR

For purposes of this Schedule A-1 to the performance share award agreement, TSR for the Company and each of the companies comprising the peer group will be calculated as follows:

Ending share price - Beginning share price + Dividends reinvested on all ex-dividend dates
Beginning share price

Share Price Averaging Period

The beginning and ending share prices in the above formula for TSR will be calculated using a trailing average approach (i.e., the average of the closing share prices for 20 consecutive trading days prior to the beginning and end of the performance period).

Reinvestment of Dividends and Other Adjustments

The above formula for TSR assumes that dividends are paid and reinvested into additional shares of common stock on their ex-dividend dates.  TSR will be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs and other corporate changes having similar effect.

7

Peer Group 

The peer group consists of the following companies:  Aflac Incorporated, American Financial Group, Inc., Assurant, Inc., Cincinnati Financial Corporation, Genworth Financial, Inc., Kemper Corporation, Lincoln National Corporation, MetLife, Inc., The Phoenix Companies, Inc., Principal Financial Group, Inc., Prudential Financial, Inc., Reinsurance Group of America Incorporated, StanCorp Financial Group, Inc., Torchmark Corporation, Universal American Corp. and Unum Group.  Any company in the peer group that no longer has a share price due to bankruptcy during the performance period will remain in the peer group and placed at the bottom of the performance list.  Any company in the peer group that is acquired during the performance period will be deleted from the peer group.  
  
Cap on Total Value of Shares Earned

The number of shares earned under this award shall be subject to a cap on the “total value” of eight times the price of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date multiplied by the target number of shares granted.  The number of shares awarded cannot be more than the total value divided by the closing share price on the last day of the performance period.

Payout

Payouts of any performance shares that have been earned shall be made as promptly as practicable after certification by the Committee that the performance targets have been achieved, which shall occur no later than March 15, 2018, absent special circumstances. Performance levels between the 25th and 50th percentiles and between the 50th and 75th percentiles shall be interpolated on a straight line basis.
