5.
Confidentiality; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.
(a)    The Employee acknowledges that during the course of employment or engagement with the Company and its Affiliates the Employee has received and will continue to have access and exposure to secret and proprietary information, including but not limited to information about the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business, business practices and processes, customers, and prospective customers, the value of which is derived in part from the fact that the information is not generally known to the public (“Confidential Information”). The Employee acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates have spent significant time, effort and resources protecting the Confidential Information and that the Confidential Information has contributed to customer goodwill and is of significant competitive value to the Company and its Affiliates in the businesses in which they compete, and that the use or disclosure, even if inadvertent, of the Confidential Information to or for the benefit of a competitor would cause significant damage to the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates. Accordingly, in order to protect the legitimate business and customer goodwill interests of the Company and its Affiliates, to protect the Confidential Information against inappropriate use or disclosure, and in consideration of the grant of and the opportunity to earn the CSUs and SSUs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Employee hereby covenants and agrees to comply with the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions set forth in this Section 5(a) (collectively, the “Award Restrictions”). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise below, the Employee agrees to comply with the Award Restrictions for the period commencing on the Grant Date and extending through the date that is 12 months following the Employee’s Termination of Employment for any reason (such period, the “Restricted Period”).
(i)    The Employee will use Confidential Information gained during employment or engagement with the Company or any Affiliate for the benefit of the Company only and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period or thereafter, directly or indirectly, divulge, reveal or communicate any Confidential Information to any person or entity whatsoever, or use any Confidential Information for the Employee’s own benefit or for the benefit of others, other than as required by law or legal process. For purposes of the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that was or is available to the Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of disclosure by the Employee.
(ii)    The Employee shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed by, consult with, render services for, or be connected in any other manner with, any Competing Business, whether for compensation or otherwise. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Competing Business” shall be any business in the United States which is engaged in the sale or provision of employee benefits or other products or services of the type offered by the Company or its Affiliates (including without limitation, life, critical illness, income protection, disability, accident, dental, vision, hospital indemnity insurance, leave management, and stop loss), unless the Employee’s primary duties and responsibilities with respect to such business are not related to the management, operation or provision of such products or services. Notwithstanding the requirements of this paragraph, the Employee shall not be prohibited from owning less than 1% of any publicly traded corporation, whether or not such corporation is deemed to be a Competing Business.
(iii)    The Employee shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, either for the Employee’s own benefit or purpose or for the benefit or purpose of any other person or entity, solicit, assist, or induce any Covered Employee to terminate his or her relationship with the Company or its Affiliates (regardless of who first initiates the communication), or help another person or entity evaluate any Covered Employee as an employment candidate or offer to employ, call on, or actively interfere with the Company’s or any Affiliate’s relationship with any Covered Employee, provided that this paragraph shall not prohibit general solicitations in the form of classified advertisements or the like in newspapers, on the internet, or in other media. For purposes of this Agreement, “Covered Employee” means an individual who is an employee, representative, or officer of the Company or any Affiliate at the time of the solicitation, assistance, or inducement or as of the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment.

(iv)    The Employee shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, either for the Employee’s own benefit or purpose or for the benefit or purpose of any other person or entity, use any Confidential Information to solicit or accept any business from any customers of the Company or any Affiliate, or any broker with regard to customers of the Company or any Affiliate (regardless of who first initiates the communication), whom the Employee serviced, solicited or had contact with while employed or engaged by the Company or any Affiliate.
(v)    The Employee shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, disparage or make any statement, oral or written, public or in private, which is reasonably foreseeable as harming the Company’s or any Affiliate’s business interests or impacts negatively on the Company’s or any Affiliate’s business reputation or reputation in the community. Nothing in this paragraph will be construed to prevent the Employee from communicating with or responding to a request for information from a federal, state, administrative agency or court.
(b)    Any termination of the Employee’s employment or the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.
(c)    The terms and provisions of this Section 5 are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall thereby be affected. The parties hereto acknowledge that the potential restrictions on the Employee’s future employment imposed by this Section 5 are reasonable in both duration and geographic scope and in all other respects. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall find any provisions of this Section 5 unreasonable in duration or geographic scope or otherwise, the Employee and the Company agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law in such jurisdiction.
(d)    The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the Award Restrictions will result in substantial, continuing and irreparable injury to the Company and/or its Affiliates. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company and/or its Affiliates, the Company and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled to equitable and/or injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of such provisions, and to specific performance of each of the terms thereof in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that the Company or any Affiliate may have. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Employee violates any Award Restrictions, then all of the Employee’s outstanding CSUs and SSUs hereunder shall immediately be forfeited.
6.
Adjustment; Change in Control.
(a)    In the event of certain transactions prior to the time the SSUs are ultimately settled as provided in Section 2 above, the SSUs shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(d) of the Plan or any applicable successor provision under the Plan.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 1 to the contrary, upon a Termination of Employment of the Employee occurring upon or during the two years immediately following the date of a Change in Control (but prior to the settlement of the CSUs and SSUs in accordance with Section 2 above) by reason of death or Disability, by the Company without Cause, or by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan, except that if the Employee is covered by a separate written plan or agreement providing for payments upon a Termination of Employment for Good Reason upon or within two years following a Change in Control, then as defined in such plan or agreement), then the CSUs and SSUs shall become free of all restrictions and fully vested and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the date of Termination of Employment (but not later than 30 days thereafter); provided, however, in each case, that any CSUs or SSUs 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, only be so settled if the Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and shall otherwise only be settled on the earliest date permissible under Section 409A of the Code.

(c)    Nothing in this Section 6 shall preclude the Company from settling, upon a Change in Control, any CSUs or SSUs (to the extent effectuated in accordance with Treasury Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)).

Payment of Transfer Taxes, Fees and Other Expenses.

8.
Other Restrictions.
(a)    The SSUs 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 applicable law is required, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body is required, then in any such event, the grant of SSUs 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)    If the Employee is an insider as described under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy (as in effect from time to time and any successor policies), the Employee 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 SSUs, and may be prohibited from selling such securities other than during an open trading window. The Employee further acknowledges that, in its discretion, the Company may prohibit the Employee from selling such securities even during an open trading window if the Company has concerns over the potential for insider trading.
9.
Taxes and Withholding.
No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Employee for federal, state, local or foreign income, employment or other tax purposes with respect to any CSUs or SSUs, the Employee shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditioned on compliance by the Employee with this Section 9, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the unilateral right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Employee, including deducting such amount from the delivery of Shares upon settlement of the SSUs and the delivery of cash upon settlement of the CSUs, in each case that gives rise to the withholding requirement.

16.
Section 409A.
It is the intention of the Company that the CSUs and SSUs 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.

19.
Waiver and Release.
In consideration for the granting of the CSUs and SSUs, the Employee hereby waives any and all claims whether known or unknown that the Employee may have against the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees arising out of, in connection with or related to the Employee’s employment, except for (1) claims under this Agreement, (2) claims that arise after the date hereof and obligations that by their terms are to be performed after the date hereof, (3) claims for compensation or benefits under any compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (4) claims for indemnification respecting acts or omissions in connection with the Employee’s service as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (5) claims for insurance coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (6) any right the Employee may have to obtain contribution in the event of the entry of judgment against the Company as a result of any act or failure to act for which both the Employee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates are jointly responsible, or (7) claims under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. The Employee waives any and all rights under the laws of any state (expressly including but not limited to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code), which is substantially similar in wording or effect as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the Release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his settlement with the debtor or released party.
This waiver specifically includes all claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee (a) has been advised to consult an attorney in connection with entering into this Agreement; (b) has 21 days to consider this waiver and release; and (c) may revoke this waiver and release within seven days of execution upon written notice to Legal Counsel, Employment and Labor, Law Department, Unum Group, 1 Fountain Square, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402. The waiver and release will not become enforceable until the expiration of the seven-day period. If the waiver and release is revoked during such seven-day period, the grant shall be void and of no further effect.
20.
Confidentiality of Schedule A to this Agreement.
By executing this Agreement, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Schedule A to this Agreement shall be deemed confidential information (except with respect to information that becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Employee, and then only to such extent), and that the Employee will keep confidential all such provisions and shall not disclose them, directly or indirectly, to any person other than the Employee’s legal advisor as necessary in obtaining legal advice (provided that such advisor is informed of the confidential nature of such provisions and is subject to confidentiality and non-disclosure duties or obligations with respect to such provisions that are no less restrictive than those contained in this Section) or as required by law or legal process.

21.
Clawback.
Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares or other amounts paid or provided to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement (including any gains realized on Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement), which Shares or amounts are subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or any policy adopted by the Company from time to time, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or policy as in effect from time to time.
22.
Disclosures.
Nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule A hereto) shall be construed to restrict the Employee’s ability to make a confidential disclosure of any trade secret or other confidential information, without notice to or approval by the Company, to a government official or an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or assisting in the investigation of a suspected violation of law and the Employee shall not be held liable under this Agreement or under any federal or state trade secret law for any such disclosure.
23.
Foreign Jurisdictions.
This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and applied in such a manner as shall be necessary to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements of any non-United States jurisdiction to which the Employee is or becomes subject. The Company hereby delegates to each of the officers of the Company the authority for the interpretation of such matters, whose interpretations shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Employee and all individuals claiming any rights or benefits hereunder. The following provisions shall also apply only with respect to non-U.S. employees:
(a)    The Employee shall have no rights under any employment agreement (or any alleged breach of it), whether on termination of his or her employment (whether lawfully or in breach) or otherwise, to any damages for breach of contract in respect of the loss of any benefits or any rights (including the grant or vesting of any share options or equity incentives) that he or she may have received had he or she continued to have been employed.
(b)    By executing this Agreement, the Employee also agrees to, and shall be deemed to have provided to the Company, the data protection and monitoring acknowledgement set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto.
