 This Second Supplemental Indenture (this “Second Supplemental Indenture”) is entered into as of
April 21, 2006 by and between Horace Mann Educators Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore entered into an Indenture, dated as of June 9, 2005 (the “Original Indenture”), with the Trustee,
which was supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 9, 2005 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee; 
 WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is incorporated herein by this reference and the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture,
is herein called this “Indenture;” 
 WHEREAS, under the Original Indenture, a new series of senior notes may at any time be
established by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Original Indenture and the terms of such series may be established in a supplemental indenture executed by the Company and the Trustee; 
 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of senior notes; 
 WHEREAS, additional senior notes of other series hereafter established, except as may be limited in the Original Indenture as at the time supplemented
and modified, may be issued from time to time pursuant to the Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified, and all senior notes issued by the Company of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided, may
be reopened for issuances of additional senior notes of such series; and 
 WHEREAS, all things necessary to authorize the execution and
delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture and make it a valid and binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 6.85% Senior Notes due April 15, 2016 
 SECTION 1.01. Establishment. There is hereby established a new series of senior
notes to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Company’s 6.85% Senior Notes due April 15, 2016 (the “2006 Senior Notes”). 
 There are to be authenticated and delivered 2006 Senior Notes, initially limited in aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000, and no further 2006 Senior Notes shall be authenticated and delivered except as provided
by Section 2.02, 2.04, 2.06, 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 8.05 

 
or 12.03 of the Original Indenture; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes may be increased in the
future, without the consent of the holders of the 2006 Senior Notes, on the same terms and with the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the 2006 Senior Notes. The 2006 Senior Notes shall be issued in fully registered form. The 2006 Senior Notes shall be
issued only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. 
 The 2006 Senior Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more
Global Securities (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A hereto. The Depository with respect to the 2006 Senior Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company. The terms and provisions of the
2006 Senior Notes contained in the form set out in Exhibit A shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 
 Each 2006 Senior Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most recent 2006 Series Interest Payment Date (as defined in
Section 1.02 below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. 
 The 2006 Senior Notes will be unsecured obligations of the
Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. The 2006 Senior Notes will rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

 SECTION 1.02. Definitions. The following defined terms used herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings
specified below. Capitalized and other terms defined in the Indenture that are used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. 
 “2006 Series Interest Payment Date” means April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2006. 
 “2006 Series Regular Record Date” means, with respect to each 2006 Series Interest Payment Date, the close of business on the preceding
April 1 or October 1, as the case may be. 
 “2006 Series Stated Maturity Date” means April 15, 2016. 
 SECTION 1.03. Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal of the 2006 Senior Notes shall be due on the 2006 Series Stated Maturity Date. The unpaid
principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.85% per year until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from April 21, 2006 or from the most recent 2006 Series Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on each 2006 Series Interest Payment Date, commencing October 15, 2006, to the Person in whose name the 2006 Senior Notes are registered on the 2006
Series Regular Record Date for such 2006 Series Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable on the 2006 Series Stated Maturity Date of principal or on a 2006 Series Redemption Date (as defined in Section 1.07 below) as provided herein
will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the holders on such 2006 Series Regular Record Date and may be paid as provided in
Section 2.07 of the Original Indenture.

 Payments of interest on the 2006 Senior Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the
respective 2006 Series Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the 2006 Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the
2006 Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay); provided,
however, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally
payable. 
 Payment of the principal and interest due on the 2006 Series Stated Maturity Date of, or on a 2006 Series Redemption Date for,
the 2006 Senior Notes shall be made upon surrender of the 2006 Senior Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The principal of and interest on the 2006 Senior Notes shall be paid in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of interest (including interest on any 2006 Series Interest Payment Date) will be made at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at
least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. 
 SECTION 1.04. Global Securities. The 2006 Senior Notes will
initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depository (which initially shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, 2006 Senior
Notes represented by Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, 2006 Senior Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depository to a nominee of
the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or to a successor Depository or its nominee. 
 Owners of beneficial interests in such Global Securities will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, and no Global Security
representing a 2006 Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee or to a successor Depository or its nominee. The rights of holders
of such Global Securities shall be exercised only through the Depository. 
 A Global Security representing a 2006 Senior Note shall be
exchangeable for 2006 Senior Notes registered in the names of Persons other than the Depository or its nominee only as provided by the reverse of such Global Security issued on the date hereof. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for 2006 Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. 
 SECTION 1.05.
Transfer. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of 2006 Senior Notes, but payment will be required of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

 SECTION 1.06. Defeasance. The provisions of Sections 10.01(b) of the Original Indenture will apply to the
2006 Senior Notes. 
 SECTION 1.07. Redemption at the Option of the Company. The 2006 Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the
Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (a “2006 Series Redemption Date”), at a redemption price (the “2006 Series Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2006
Senior Notes to be redeemed and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments for principal and interest on the 2006 Senior Notes to be redeemed, not including any portion of the payments of interest
accrued as of such 2006 Series Redemption Date, discounted to such 2006 Series Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the 2006 Series Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 30 basis
points; plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the 2006 Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, such 2006 Series Redemption Date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty, or responsibility to any holder of 2006 Senior
Notes to calculate the 2006 Series Redemption Price or determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the 2006 Series Redemption Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made,
or with respect to the method employed herein in making the same and shall be protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the same. 
 The following defined terms used in this Section 1.07 shall have the meanings specified below: 
 “2006 Series Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the 2006 Series Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2006 Senior Notes to be
redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the 2006 Senior Notes. 
 “2006 Series Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any 2006 Series Redemption Date for the 2006 Senior Notes, (1) the average
of the 2006 Series Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such 2006 Series Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such 2006 Series Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such
2006 Series Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “2006 Series Independent Investment
Banker” means Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and any successor firm or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the 2006 Series Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Company that is acceptable to the Trustee. 
 “2006 Series Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and four other primary U.S. government securities dealers (each a “2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer”), as specified by the Company; provided, however, that (1) if any of Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. or any 2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer as specified by the Company shall cease to be a 2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another 2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer and
(2) if the Company fails to select a substitute within a 

  

 4 

 
reasonable period of time, then the substitute will be a 2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

2006 Series Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such 2006 Series Redemption Date. 
 “2006 Series Treasury Rate” means the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the 2006 Series Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the 2006 Series Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the 2006 Series Comparable Treasury Price for such 2006 Series Redemption Date. The 2006 Series Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the 2006 Series
Redemption Date. 
 The Company shall notify the Trustee of the 2006 Series Redemption Price with respect to the foregoing redemption
promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said 2006 Series Redemption Price. 
 If less
than all of the 2006 Senior Notes are to be redeemed, The Depository Trust Company, as the Depository, shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such 2006 Senior Notes held by each beneficial owner of such 2006
Senior Notes to be redeemed. The Depository Trust Company may select 2006 Senior Notes and portions of 2006 Senior Notes in amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. 
 SECTION 1.08. Negative Pledge. The Company will not, and it will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, at any time directly or indirectly create,
assume, incur or permit to exist any Indebtedness secured by a pledge, lien or other encumbrance (any pledge, lien or other encumbrance being hereinafter in this Section 1.08 referred to as a “lien”) on the voting securities of any
Significant Subsidiary, or the voting securities of a Subsidiary of the Company that owns, directly or indirectly, the voting securities of any Significant Subsidiary without making effective provision whereby the 2006 Senior Notes then Outstanding

to provide such security) shall be equally and ratably secured with such secured Indebtedness so long as such other Indebtedness shall be secured.

Certificate stating that the foregoing covenant has been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel the foregoing covenant has been complied with and that any instruments executed by the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company in the performance of the foregoing covenant comply with the requirements of the foregoing covenant and (ii) the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an 

  

 5 

 
indenture or agreement supplemental hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce the rights of the holders of the
2006 Senior Notes so secured. 
 The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the recording, filing or registration (or for the rerecording,
refiling or reregistration) of any instrument or notice at any time in any public office or elsewhere for the purpose of perfecting, maintaining the perfection of or otherwise making effective any lien upon or with respect to any assets referred to
herein, including the recording, filing or registration of any financing or continuation statement or any tax or securities form. 
 SECTION

Dealer as specified by the Company shall cease to be a 2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another 2006 Series Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) if the Company fails to select a substitute within a reasonable

accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such 2006 Senior Notes held by each beneficial owner of such 2006 Senior Notes to be redeemed. DTC may select 2006 Senior Notes and portions of 2006 Senior Notes in amounts of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000.

 IMPORTANT NOTICE 
 The Corporation will furnish to any stockholder, on request and without charge, a full statement of the information required by
Section 2–211(b) of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland with respect to the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and
other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the stock of each class which the Corporation has authority to issue and, if the Corporation is authorized to issue any preferred or special class in series, (i) the
differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series to the extent set, and (ii) the authority of the Board of Directors to set such rights and preferences of subsequent series. The foregoing summary does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the charter of the Corporation, a copy of which will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so requests. Such request must be made to the Secretary of the
Corporation at its principal office or to the Transfer Agent. 
 The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on
Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the charter of the Corporation, (i) no individual may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of 9.8 percent (in
value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation unless such individual is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no individual may Beneficially or
Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation in excess of 9.8 percent of the value of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, unless such individual is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder
Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to
fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially or Constructively Owns
or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify
the Corporation. If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In
addition, the Corporation may redeem shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions
described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the charter of the
Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and without charge. Requests for such a
copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its Principal Office.
