encourage and motivate key employees to devote their full attention to the performance of their assigned duties without the distraction or concerns regarding a possible involuntary termination of employment in the event of a change in control.
Horace Mann and the Company believe that it is in the best interests of their key employees and the shareholders of the Company to provide financial assistance through severance payments and other benefits to eligible key employees who are
involuntarily terminated within a year following a change in control (as defined herein). To the extent the Plan provides deferred compensation it is an unfunded plan primarily for the purposes of providing deferred compensation for a select group
of management or highly compensated employees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">1.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <U>Effective Date</U>.
