Any Restricted Units that do not vest upon your early retirement pursuant to the preceding sentence will be forfeited.

 

(c)                                  Involuntary Termination.  If your employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company, all of your Restricted Units will immediately vest unless, if your employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company prior to July 30, 2016, the Committee determines otherwise (and subject to such conditions as the Committee may determine).

(e)                                  Payment of Vested Restricted Units.  Any Restricted Units that become vested under this paragraph 4 by reason of your termination of employment prior to the date such Restricted Units would otherwise have become vested pursuant to paragraph 2(a) shall nonetheless be payable at the same time and in the same manner as they would have been paid under paragraph 2(b) if you had remained in the Company’s employment through each of the applicable dates specified in paragraph 2(a).

5.                                      Federal Income Tax Consequences.

 

(a)                                 General.  The following description of the federal income tax consequences of the Restricted Units is based on currently applicable provisions of the Code, and is only a general summary.  The summary does not discuss state and local tax laws, which may differ from the federal tax law, or federal estate, gift and employment tax laws.  You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the application of the tax laws to your particular situation.

 

(b)                                 Grant of Restricted Units.  This grant of Restricted Units will not subject you to federal income tax.

 

(c)                                  Payment of Restricted Units.  You will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes on the date the Restricted Units are earned and paid (the “Payment Date”), unless you have made an effective election under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers (“Deferred Compensation Plan”), as discussed in paragraph 5(d).  The amount of income recognized will be equal to the aggregate amount of cash paid.

 

(d)                                 Deferred Compensation Plan.  You may elect to defer payment in respect of your vested Restricted Units, and the recognition of taxable income with respect to such payment, by making deferral elections under the Deferred Compensation Plan.  If you make effective deferral elections, you will recognize ordinary income when the amount derived from the deferred portion of your Restricted Units payment is paid from the Deferred Compensation Plan, in an amount equal to the amount of cash paid.

 

You will be provided with more information about this deferral opportunity and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

(e)                                  ERISA.  This Restricted Unit Award is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

 

6.                                      Tax Withholding.  The Company will withhold from your Restricted Units payment (or your payment from the Deferred Compensation Plan, if you have made deferral elections under that plan in respect to your Restricted Units) an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state or local tax withholding obligation.

 

7.                                      Non-transferability of Restricted Units.  Your Restricted Units may not be assigned, pledged, or otherwise transferred, except upon your death by the laws of intestacy or descent and distribution.

 

8.                                      Beneficiary Designations.  You may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who must be members of your family and who may be named contingently or successively) with respect to your rights under your Restricted Unit Award (including the right to receive any payment in respect of Restricted Units after your death) by submitting a written beneficiary designation in a form acceptable to the Company.  Any such designation will be effective only

 

4

 

when filed with the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer (or such other person as the Company may designate) before your date of death, and will (unless specifically set forth therein) revoke all prior designations.  If there is no beneficiary designation in effect on the date of your death, your beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you have no surviving spouse, your estate.

 

9.                                      Administration of the Award.  Restricted Unit Awards subject to these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have the authority to select the Participants, to determine the awards to be made to each Participant, and to determine the conditions subject to which awards will become payable under these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Committee may delegate any and all of its duties and responsibilities in respect of all Participants other than the Chief Executive Officer and all members of the Company’s Performance and Accountability Committee to a committee of officers comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and the Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer.  In the event that, at any time any of the aforementioned offices shall be vacant (or the title associated with such position shall be changed), the person performing the duties of such position shall serve on such officer’s committee.

 

The Committee shall have full power to administer and interpret, and to adopt such rules and regulations consistent with the terms of, the 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable in order to carry out such provisions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee’s interpretation and construction of the 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions and its determination of any conditions applicable to Restricted Unit Awards or the granting of Restricted Unit Awards to specific Participants shall be conclusive and binding.

 

The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents (including counsel or agents who are employees of the Company or a Subsidiary) as it may deem desirable for the administration of the 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions and may rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel, consultant or agent and any computation received from any such consultant or agent.  All expenses incurred in the administration of these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions, including, without limitation, for the engagement of any counsel, consultant or agent, shall be paid by the Company.  No member or former member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with any Restricted Unit Awards under these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions other than as a result of such individual’s willful misconduct.

 

10.                               Amendment.  By action of the Board or the Committee, the Company may from time to time amend, terminate or discontinue the 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions at any time, but no amendment, termination or discontinuance of these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions will unfavorably affect any Restricted Unit Award previously granted.

 

11.                               Effect on Employment and Other Benefits.  Receipt of a Restricted Unit Award under the 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions does not give any Participant any right to receive awards in the future or to continue in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries,

 

5

 

and Restricted Unit Award recipients are subject to discipline and discharge in the same manner as any other employee.  Income recognized as a result of any payment in respect of Restricted Units will not be included in the formula for calculating benefits under the Company’s Pension, 401(k), and Disability Plans.

 

12.                               Cooperation in Litigation.  By accepting a Restricted Unit Award subject to these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions, you agree that after your employment terminates (regardless of the reason), you will cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any current or future claims, lawsuits, arbitrations, proceedings, examinations, inquiries or investigations involving the Company that relate to your service with the Company.  This includes being available on reasonable notice for interviews and other communications with the Company’s counsel in connection with any such matter and appearing at the Company’s request (and without a subpoena) to be deposed or to give testimony.

 

13.                               Non-Solicitation Agreement.  By accepting a Restricted Unit Award subject to these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions, you agree that for one year beginning on the date your employment terminates (regardless of the reason), you will not (directly or indirectly) hire, solicit for hire, or assist others in hiring or soliciting for hire, any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries (“Company Employees”).  This provision shall not apply if you worked in, or were a resident of, the state of California when your employment terminated.  This provision shall not prohibit you or a future employer of yours from hiring, soliciting for hire, or assisting others in hiring or soliciting for hire, any Company Employee who (1) responds to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically directed to Company Employees, (2) is referred to you or your future employer by a search firm, employment agency or similar organization, or (3) directly or indirectly contacts you or your future employer on their own initiative and without having been solicited.

 

14.                               Trade Secrets; Solicitation of Customers.  By accepting a Restricted Unit Award subject to these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions, you agree to permanently maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s “Trade Secrets.”  Trade Secrets shall include any trade secrets as defined by law, and shall specifically include information regarding customers and agents or prospective customers and agents; marketing and sales techniques, materials and information; records, documents and data; business practices, policies, procedures and strategies; product and pricing information; compensation arrangements; financial information; attorney-client communications; and any other confidential or proprietary information relating to the Company that is not available to the public.  (Information is not a Trade Secret, however, if it is available in the public domain, has been obtained from a source other than the Company, or has been lawfully obtained through means other than your employment relationship with the Company.)  In addition, by accepting a Restricted Unit Award subject to these 2015 Restricted Unit Provisions you agree that for one year beginning on the date your employment terminates (regardless of the reason), you will not — whether on your own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person or entity — use the Company’s Trade Secrets to solicit any business of the type conducted by the Company as of your termination date from any person or entity that was either (1) a customer or agent of the Company as of that date or (2) a prospective customer or agent contacted, called upon, or serviced by the Company during the twelve months before your termination date, or induce, promote, facilitate, or otherwise contribute to the

 

6

 

solicitation of such customers or agents or prospective customers or agents through the use of Trade Secrets.

 

15.                               Recovery of Damages by the Company.  You agree that if you were to violate any of paragraphs 12, 13, and 14 the amount of damages suffered by the Company would be difficult to determine.  Therefore, you agree that the Company will be entitled to recover liquidated damages from you equal to the amount of income that you realize under this Award (including all legally required withholdings) (or, if less, the portion thereof determined by the Committee) if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith that you violated any of paragraphs 12, 13, or 14.  All determinations under this paragraph shall be made by the Committee, acting reasonably and in good faith, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive on you, the Company, and any other person or entity affected thereby.  This liquidated damages provision does not relinquish any equitable remedies and other claims for damages that the Company may have.

 

16.                               Acceptance of Award.  No action is required if you wish to accept your Restricted Unit Award.  If you wish to decline your Restricted Unit Award, you must provide the Company with notice of your decision on or before June 30, 2015 by writing or emailing Scott Adams, Protective Life Corporation, P. O. Box 2606, Birmingham, Alabama 35202 (Scott.Adams@Protective.com).
