PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS A. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS UNUM Corporation is a Delaware corporation organized in 1985 as an insurance holding company. UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries ("UNUM") are the leading provider of group long term disability insurance ("group LTD") in the United States and the United Kingdom. UNUM is also a major provider of employee benefits, individual disability insurance and special risk reinsurance. UNUM also markets long term care and retirement income products. The operations of the following subsidiaries account for substantially all of UNUM's consolidated assets and revenues. UNUM Corporation is based in Portland, Maine and through its affiliates has operations in North America, the United Kingdom and the Pacific Rim. UNUM conducts its operations in the United States through a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries: UNUM Life Insurance Company of America ("UNUM America"), a Maine life insurance company licensed in 49 states and Canada, the leading provider of group disability insurance in the nation, and a provider of employee benefits, long term care and retirement products; First UNUM Life Insurance Company ("First UNUM"), a New York life insurance company; Commercial Life Insurance Company, a Wisconsin life insurance company and a leader in special risk insurance and professional association insurance marketing; Duncanson & Holt, Inc., a New York corporation and a leading accident and health reinsurance underwriting manager; Colonial Companies, Inc., a Delaware holding company; and UNUM Holding Company, a Delaware corporation. Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Colonial Companies, Inc., is the leader in payroll-deducted voluntary employee benefits offered to employees at their worksites. Through UNUM Holding Company, UNUM Corporation also owns UNUM Sales Corporation, a licensed broker-dealer incorporated in Delaware, and Claims Service International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which provides claims administration services. UNUM Corporation also holds all of the outstanding capital stock of UNUM European Holding Company, which is incorporated in the United Kingdom. UNUM's United Kingdom operations are conducted by UNUM Limited, which is the United Kingdom's leader in group disability insurance and a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNUM European Holding Company, and Duncanson & Holt Europe Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duncanson & Holt, Inc. UNUM's Japanese operations are conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, UNUM Japan Accident Insurance Company Limited ("UNUM Japan"), a Japanese non-life insurance company, which was established in 1994. On December 3, 1992, UNUM and Colonial Companies, Inc. ("Colonial"), signed a definitive merger agreement. On March 26, 1993, Colonial Class A common stock shareholders voted to approve the merger. Under the agreement, UNUM exchanged 0.731 shares of its common stock for each share of Colonial Class A and B common stock outstanding on March 26, 1993. UNUM issued approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock from treasury in connection with the merger. In addition, outstanding options to acquire shares of Colonial Class B common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of UNUM common stock. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. UNUM reports its operations principally in six business segments: Employee Benefits, Related Businesses, Colonial Companies, Individual Disability, Retirement Security and Other Operations. Corporate includes transactions which are generally non-insurance related, expenses incurred in connection with UNUM's long-term strategic investment in Japan, and interest expense on corporate borrowings. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) for more information. B. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SEGMENT The Employee Benefits segment, which in 1994 accounted for 47.3% of UNUM's revenues and 129.8% of its income before income taxes, markets a range of group disability, group life and other specialty insurance products to employers. Group LTD is the Employee Benefits segment's principal product. UNUM targets sales of group LTD to executive, administrative and management personnel and other professionals. Since 1976, UNUM has been the nation's leading provider of group LTD according to EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW, a recognized industry publication. Group LTD provides employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. Most of these policies begin providing benefits following 90 or 180 day waiting periods and continue providing benefits until the employee reaches age 65-70. Group LTD benefits are paid monthly and generally are limited to two-thirds of the employee's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. Premiums for group LTD insurance are based upon the expected mortality, morbidity and persistency of the insured group as well as assumptions concerning operating expenses and future interest rates. UNUM's group life insurance product provides term insurance for employees. It is marketed primarily to executive, administrative and management personnel. As reported by EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW FOR 1993, the most recent available data, UNUM was the third largest writer of group life insurance, based on number of contracts inforce. Group short term disability insurance ("Group STD") provides employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. Most of these policies begin providing benefits immediately for accidents or following a one week waiting period for sickness and continue providing benefits for up to 26 weeks. Group STD benefits are paid weekly and generally are limited to 60% of the employee's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. As reported by EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW, UNUM was one of the top five providers of STD for 1993, based on premium and number of lives inforce. UNUM markets other employee benefits products including accidental death and dismemberment, and dental insurance. UNUM's flexible benefits product provides employees with the opportunity to allocate benefit dollars among the various combinations of employee benefits products. Employee Benefits' group insurance is sold primarily on a basis that permits annual repricing. This enables UNUM to adjust the pricing of its products to more closely match the underlying claim experience and interest rate environment. UNUM markets its Employee Benefits' insurance products through a network of 33 offices in the United States and Canada, which distribute these products as well as the products offered by the Retirement Security segment, through brokers. As of December 31, 1994, these branch offices were organized into four regions and were staffed with approximately 590 management, sales, service and administrative personnel. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Employee Benefits Segment" for more information. C. RELATED BUSINESSES SEGMENT The Related Businesses segment in 1994 accounted for 15.6% of UNUM's revenues and 30.4% of its income before income taxes. The Related Businesses segment includes UNUM Limited in the United Kingdom, Commercial Life Insurance Company ("Commercial Life"), and reinsurance operations including Duncanson & Holt, Inc. On July 2, 1990, UNUM acquired all of the outstanding shares of National Employers' Life Assurance Company Limited ("NEL"). On August 1, 1990, UNUM acquired certain remaining policyholder interests of a NEL subsidiary, N.E.L. Permanent Health Insurances Limited (now known as UNUM Limited). In the third quarter of 1990, UNUM announced plans to restructure the operations of its United Kingdom acquisition by continuing to develop the permanent health insurance (long term disability) business through UNUM Limited and by divesting the life, pension and mortgage businesses of NEL. On January 6, 1992, the NEL businesses were sold. UNUM Limited is the leading provider of group long term disability insurance in the United Kingdom. UNUM Limited targets group long term disability sales to management personnel, other professionals and technical and skilled artisans. These products are marketed through a network of independent brokers. UNUM Limited's long term disability products provide employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. UNUM Limited also markets individual disability insurance to self-employed individuals and those not covered under group policies through brokers and agents. In May 1994, UNUM Limited assumed the management of the group risk portfolio of Windsor Life Assurance Company Limited ("Windsor Life"), which included group long term disability and group life products. Windsor Life was the third largest group long term disability provider in the United Kingdom in 1993, as reported by Employers Re. International. Commercial Life is a leading provider of group special risk accident products, including group travel and voluntary accident insurance. Commercial Life also provides group universal life, group term life, and long term disability, along with payroll deduction programs for employees through a network of independent brokers and specialty agents. Commercial Life is a leader in the association group marketplace, offering disability income, business overhead expense, accidental death and dismemberment, hospital indemnity and term life insurance to members of professional associations. On July 30, 1992, UNUM purchased Duncanson & Holt, Inc. ("D&H"), a leading accident and health reinsurance underwriting manager. As a reinsurance manager, D&H provides pool management as well as marketing, underwriting, administration, claims payment and actuarial services for client companies, but does not bear any insurance risk. D&H has offices throughout the United States and in London, Toronto, and Singapore. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Related Businesses Segment" for more information. D. COLONIAL COMPANIES SEGMENT The Colonial Companies segment in 1994 accounted for 13.1% of UNUM's revenues and 31.6% of its income before income taxes. Colonial Companies' principal subsidiary, Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company ("Colonial Life"), markets a broad line of payroll-deducted, voluntary benefits to employees at their worksites. Colonial Life focuses on personal accident and sickness, life and cancer insurance plans. Colonial Life's accident policies generally provide benefit payments for disability income, death, dismemberment or major injury. Accident policies are designed to supplement other benefits available through Social Security, workers' compensation, and other insurance plans. Colonial Life offers a wide range of life insurance products, with universal life and whole life accounting for most of the life insurance sold. Colonial Life's cancer policies are designed to provide payments for hospitalization and scheduled medical benefits, with the amounts of such payments established by the policies. All of Colonial Life's insurance policies are issued on a nonparticipating basis. More than 95% of Colonial Life's premiums for 1994 were derived from policies marketed to employees at their worksites, with premiums in most cases to be collected through payroll deduction. Such policies are issued on a "guaranteed renewable for life" basis, which means that Colonial Life cannot refuse to renew any policy, but it does reserve the right on a product-by-product basis to increase premiums for inforce policies. This right to change premiums is or may be subject to various state insurance department rules, regulations and approvals. Since 1985, Colonial Life has marketed its accident and health products as qualified fringe benefits that can be purchased with pretax dollars as part of a flexible benefits program pursuant to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. In 1994, premiums from sales to employees participating in such programs accounted for approximately 48% of total premiums. A flexible benefits program assists employers in managing their benefits and compensation packages and provides policyholders with the ability to choose the benefits that best meet their needs. Although Congress might change the tax laws to limit or eliminate fringe benefits available on a pretax basis and such a change could limit or eliminate Colonial Life's ability to continue marketing its products in this way, Colonial Life believes its products provide policyholders value, which will remain even if the tax advantages offered by flexible benefit programs are eliminated. Colonial Life markets its products nationwide primarily through a 5,300-member independent contractor sales force. Approximately 1,150 home office employees provide corporate administration, sales support, internal services and systems, claims processing, policyholder services, and employer services. Colonial Companies' subsidiary, BenefitAmerica, Inc. ("BenefitAmerica"), offers employers administrative services for their employee benefit programs. The services offered by BenefitAmerica include claims adjudication and payment for reimbursement plans, which are offered under an employer's flexible benefits plan pursuant to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as other administrative services to those plans. The services offered by BenefitAmerica complement the services and products offered to employers by Colonial Life. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Colonial Companies Segment" for more information. E. INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY SEGMENT The Individual Disability segment accounted for 12.2% of UNUM's revenues and (94.8)% of its income before income taxes in 1994. This segment's products provide coverage for loss of income for professionals, corporate executives, business owners and administrative support personnel in the event of disability. As reported in the Life Insurance Marketing Research Association's 1993 INDIVIDUAL HEALTH ISSUES AND INFORCE SURVEY for the United States, the most recent available data, UNUM was the fourth largest provider of individual disability income policies measured by premium inforce. UNUM announced in November 1994 that it will discontinue sales of the traditional, fixed price, non-cancellable product in the United States upon introduction of new disability products in each state. Subject to state regulatory approval, UNUM expects to introduce the new disability products to most states during the second quarter of 1995. Until the new products are introduced, UNUM will continue to sell individual disability products on a non-cancellable basis, with a fixed premium for the duration of the policy. The basic individual disability policy provides the insured with a portion of the earned income which is lost as a result of sickness or injury. Monthly benefits available range from 30% to 70% of the insured's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. Various options are available that permit tailoring of an insurance policy to the specific client's needs. The most common options include the length of period before benefits are paid, the length of the benefit period, partial disability payments, and cost-of-living adjustments, college benefits and retirement benefits. UNUM also markets buy/sell and key person coverage and policies that provide reimbursement for business overhead expenses incurred during a period of disability. Individual Disability insurance premium rates are based on expected mortality, morbidity and persistency as well as assumptions concerning policy related expenses, inflation and investment income. UNUM currently distributes this segment's products in the United States and Canada through a branch office system of Individual Disability sales consultants, who distribute these products as well as products offered by the Retirement Security Segment, through brokers and agents. UNUM has a network of 36 Individual Disability offices in the United States that are staffed with approximately 105 management, sales, service and administrative employees. Another 11 sales offices, staffed by approximately 39 employees, are located throughout Canada. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Individual Disability Segment" for more information. F. RETIREMENT SECURITY SEGMENT The Retirement Security segment accounted for 8.0% of UNUM's revenues and 12.9% of its income before income taxes in 1994. This segment markets and services tax-sheltered annuities ("TSA"), long term care insurance and lifestyle security protection ("LSP") products. TSA products (Section 403(b) plans under the Internal Revenue Code) are marketed to non-profit hospitals and organizations. These contracts offer a fixed fund which provides for annual renewable guarantees of principal and interest. In addition, some TSA contracts offer variable annuity investment alternatives. These investment alternatives are mutual funds offered as subaccounts in a UNUM separate account. The mutual funds, managed by nationally recognized investment managers, include a variety of choices such as growth, balanced and stock index funds. UNUM also offers recordkeeping and reporting services to TSA contractholders. LSP products are marketed to employers to supplement their employees' retirement planning needs. It provides plan participants with insurance coverage for retirement savings in the event of the inability to continue retirement contributions due to death or disability. UNUM markets its TSA and LSP products through a network of 13 offices in the United States, which distribute these products as well as the products offered by the Employee Benefits segment, primarily through brokers. UNUM markets long term care insurance to employer groups, continuing care retirement communities and individuals. The group product is offered on an employer or employee paid basis, and employer groups may offer coverage to retirees, spouses, parents and grandparents, in addition to the employee. UNUM distributes long term care products in the United States through brokers and agents from the branch office system as described in the Employee Benefits and Individual Disability Segments. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Retirement Security Segment" for more information. G. OTHER OPERATIONS SEGMENT The Other Operations segment accounted for 3.6% of UNUM's revenues and 4.3% of its income before income taxes in 1994. This segment includes individual life insurance business of UNUM America, group medical insurance, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), deposit administration accounts ("DAs"), and 401(k) plans, all of which are no longer actively marketed by UNUM. In the fourth quarter of 1991, UNUM announced plans to withdraw from the 401(k) market by the end of 1992. UNUM has transferred 401(k) service responsibilities to its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Preferred Benefits Corporation, which was sold in the second quarter of 1992. UNUM discontinued active marketing of GICs and DAs primarily due to the lack of demand and the level of investment risk. UNUM discontinued new sales of universal life and other individual life policies as of January 1, 1988. UNUM began exiting the group medical product line in 1987 with the discontinuance of new sales on the traditional group medical product. In 1990, management announced its intention to exit the group medical product entirely. Beginning with the February 1991 renewals, policyholders had the option of transferring their group medical product to another insurer. UNUM services commitments to inforce policyholders, which include conversions of group life and group medical insurance. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Other Operations Segment" for more information. H. INVESTMENTS Refer to Item 7 under the caption "Investments" for more information. Additional information about UNUM's mortgage loan portfolio is provided below: Overall, UNUM management believes that its mortgage loan portfolio is well diversified geographically and among property types.

I. RISK MANAGEMENT AND REINSURANCE Risk management, which includes product design, pricing, underwriting, reserving and benefits management, involves a determination of the type and amount of risk that an insurer is willing to accept, administration of business inforce, and control of claims. UNUM has underwriters organized within business segments who evaluate policy applications on the basis of information provided by the applicant and other sources. UNUM reinsures with other companies portions of the insurance policies it has underwritten. Reinsurance allows UNUM to sell policies with greater benefits than the entire risk that UNUM is willing to assume. UNUM remains liable to the insured for the payment of policy benefits if the reinsurers cannot meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. In the Employee Benefits segment, UNUM has underwriters for each major product line. Quotes for prospective customers are based on UNUM's experience with the profitability and persistency of the respective employer's risk category. The maximum group LTD and group STD monthly benefit varies, but the usual maximum monthly amount available is $35,000 and $2,500, respectively. For group life insurance products, UNUM retains up to $750,000 per individual life and reinsures the balance with other insurance carriers. Colonial Life has reinsurance on its cancer insurance products that provides coverage for claim payments in excess of $50,000 in any one year, per claimant, up to a lifetime maximum of $1 million per claimant. The financial and medical underwriting areas of UNUM Limited handle the underwriting of group and individual disability policies and group life policies. The maximum yearly benefit for group LTD is 326,000 pounds sterling. UNUM Limited retains 75,000 pounds sterling of this risk and reinsures the balance. The maximum yearly initial benefit for individual disability insurance is 125,000 pounds sterling and amounts over 40,000 pounds sterling per annum are reinsured. On group life business, UNUM Limited retains 60% of the risk up to a maximum of 150,000 pounds sterling per individual life. Commercial Life reinsures the risk on its accidental death and dismemberment contracts that exceed $400,000 on any one life. Commercial Life also reinsures the risk on individual, group, and franchise life contracts that exceed $250,000 on any one life. UNUM requires medical examinations, financial data, and other information to make a decision on the acceptability of the individual risk and to appropriately classify an applicant for individual disability insurance products. On new sales of the existing non-cancellable product, UNUM retains up to $8,000 plus 25% of amounts in excess of $8,000 basic monthly indemnity per life for personal disability coverages, $20,000 plus 25% of amounts in excess of $20,000 per life for business overhead expenses coverages and $500,000 per life for buy/sell coverages. UNUM announced in November 1994 that it will discontinue sales of the traditional, fixed price, non-cancellable product in the United States upon introduction of new disability products in each state. Subject to regulatory approval, UNUM expects to introduce new disability products to most states during the second quarter of 1995. UNUM (except for Colonial Life) reinsures the risk of individual life insurance contracts that exceed $425,000 on any one life. Colonial Life limits its risk for death and dismemberment benefits to $100,000 per life. In addition to the reinsurance arrangements above, UNUM (except for Colonial Life, UNUM Limited and Commercial Life) is covered by catastrophe reinsurance, which provides additional protection against aggregate losses in excess of $1 million up to a maximum of $100 million. This protection is activated whenever one event causes the disability and/or death of five or more people covered under UNUM's life or disability contracts. Colonial Life is covered by catastrophe reinsurance for accidental deaths totaling more than $300,000 from a single disaster, up to a limit of $5 million. UNUM Limited's group disability business is partially covered by catastrophe reinsurance of 3 million pounds sterling for losses from one event involving more than twenty-five lives. Commercial Life is covered by catastrophe reinsurance, which provides additional protection against aggregate losses in excess of $1 million up to a maximum of $54 million for losses involving three or more covered lives. Also, UNUM purchased excess-of-loss reinsurance totaling $60 million over three years through a Lloyd's of London syndicate for the non-cancellable individual disability business of UNUM America and First UNUM. Reinsurance premiums assumed and ceded for the year ended December 31, 1994, were $170.7 million and $112.5 million, respectively. No current or planned reinsurance activity is expected to have a significant impact on the ability of UNUM to underwrite additional insurance. J. RESERVES The reserves reported in the consolidated financial statements of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries have been computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for stock life insurance companies. These reserve balances generally differ from those specified by the laws of the various states and those carried in the statutory financial statements. The differences between GAAP and statutory reserves arise from the use of different mortality, morbidity, interest, expense and lapse assumptions. Pursuant to insurance laws of the states of Maine, New York, South Carolina, and Wisconsin, the United Kingdom and of Japan, UNUM's insurance subsidiaries (UNUM America, First UNUM, Colonial Life, Commercial Life, UNUM Limited and UNUM Japan, respectively) set up statutory reserves, carried as liabilities, to meet obligations on their various policies. These statutory reserves are amounts which, together with premiums to be received and interest on such reserves at assumed rates, are calculated to be sufficient to meet the policy and contract obligations of UNUM's insurance subsidiaries. Pursuant to insurance laws of Canada, UNUM America has established regulatory reserves to meet the obligations of policies written in its Canadian branch. Statutory, GAAP and regulatory reserves are based upon UNUM's insurance subsidiaries' experience as adjusted to provide for possible adverse deviations. These estimates are periodically reviewed and compared to actual experience. The assumptions are revised when it is determined that future expected experience differs from the assumed estimates. K. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 1994, UNUM had approximately 7,200 full-time employees. UNUM does not have collective bargaining agreements with employees. L. COMPETITION The principal competitive factors affecting UNUM's business are reputation, financial strength, quality of service, risk management, product design and price. There is competition among insurance companies for the types of individual and group insurance and retirement products sold by UNUM. At the end of 1994, there were approximately 1,900 legal reserve life insurance companies in the United States and Canada and life assurance offices in the United Kingdom, which may offer insurance products similar to those marketed by UNUM. UNUM also competes with banks, investment advisors, mutual funds and other financial entities to provide products and services. All areas of group insurance are highly competitive because of the large number of insurance companies and other entities offering these products. M. REGULATION UNUM's insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision in the jurisdictions in which they do business. Although the extent of such regulation varies, U.S. state, Canadian, United Kingdom and Japanese insurance laws generally establish supervisory agencies, such as state insurance departments, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ("OSFI"), The Department of Trade and Industry ("DTI") and the Ministry of Finance ("MOF"), respectively, with broad administrative powers. These powers relate chiefly to the granting and revocation of the licenses to transact business, and establishing reserve requirements and the form and content of required financial statements. Such powers also include the licensing of agents in the U.S. and the approval of policy forms in the U.S. and Japan. UNUM's insurance operations and subsidiaries must meet the standards and tests for its investments promulgated by insurance laws and regulations of Maine, New York, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan, as applicable. UNUM's United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries are required to file quarterly and annual statements with the various insurance departments in state jurisdictions in which they do business. These statements comply with the rules of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). UNUM's insurance subsidiaries are examined periodically by examiners of the states of Maine, New York, South Carolina and Wisconsin and of other states (on an "association" or "zone" basis) in which they are licensed to do business. UNUM's insurance branch operation in Canada is periodically examined by Canadian insurance regulatory authorities and is required to file annual reports that comply with the insurance laws of Canada and with the rules of the OSFI of the Canadian Federal government and each of the provinces. UNUM's United Kingdom subsidiary is required to file financial statements annually with the DTI, in accordance with United Kingdom law and regulation. UNUM Japan is required to file periodic financial statements with the MOF, in accordance with Japanese laws and regulations. UNUM's insurance subsidiaries operate under insurance laws, which require that they establish and carry, as liabilities, actuarial reserves to meet their obligations on their life, disability, accident and health policies and annuities. These reserves are verified periodically by various regulators. UNUM's reinsurance underwriting manager, Duncanson & Holt, Inc., ("D&H") is a licensed reinsurance intermediary in New York. It is subject to regulation in New York and other states where it does business. Duncanson & Holt Underwriters, Ltd., a subsidiary of D&H, is a corporate member of Lloyds of London and is subject to all rules applicable to such members. UNUM Sales Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is the principal underwriter for variable annuity contracts offered by UNUM America and First UNUM. The laws of the State of Maine require periodic registration and reporting by insurance companies domiciled within its jurisdiction, which control or are controlled by other corporations or persons. This constitutes, by definition, a holding company system. UNUM America is domiciled in Maine and is subject to these laws. New York, which is the domiciliary state of First UNUM; South Carolina, which is the domiciliary state of Colonial Life; and Wisconsin, which is the domiciliary state of Commercial Life, have similar laws. Accordingly, the UNUM insurance subsidiaries are registered as members of the UNUM holding company system in the states of Maine, New York, South Carolina and Wisconsin. The statutes of these states require periodic disclosure concerning the ultimate controlling person and intercorporate transactions within the holding company system, some of which require prior approval. Effective December 31, 1991, UNUM America merged with two of UNUM Corporation's wholly-owned Maine life insurance subsidiaries, UNUM Life Insurance Company ("UNUM Life") and UNUM Pension and Insurance Company ("UPIC"), with UNUM America remaining as the surviving corporation. In connection with the merger of UNUM Life and UPIC into UNUM America, UNUM Life ceased to maintain its licensing status in the State of New York effective December 31, 1991, with all future New York business being transacted by First UNUM. As a condition of New York regulatory approval, UNUM America agreed to maintain a security deposit in the State of New York equal to 102% of outstanding statutory liabilities to New York policyholders, insureds and claimants of UNUM Life. The security deposit consists of certain cash and invested assets. An initial deposit was made in February 1992 and at December 31, 1994, the required deposit was $819.2 million. UNUM America has the ability to withdraw assets from this account and to substitute other assets at its discretion. The balance of the security deposit will be reviewed and adjusted at least annually based upon the outstanding liabilities described above. N. PARTICIPATION FUND ACCOUNT Participating policies issued prior to November 14, 1986, by the former Union Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Union Mutual") will remain participating as long as they remain in force. A Participation Fund Account ("PFA") has been established for the sole benefit of all of Union Mutual's individual participating life and annuity policies and contracts. At December 31, 1994, the PFA had $347.0 million in assets, which are held by UNUM America. UNUM has agreed to pay certain expenses associated with the PFA and at December 31, 1994, the reserve for the present value of such expenses was $15.9 million. PFA assets, investment earnings and income from operations are not available to UNUM America or UNUM during the operation or upon the termination of the PFA. In the unlikely event that the assets of the PFA are not adequate to provide for policyholder benefits (exclusive of dividends, which are not guaranteed), UNUM America would be required to provide for any shortfall, and such amounts, if any, would reduce earnings of UNUM America and UNUM. All operating data of the individual participating life and annuity contracts has been excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Income and all other operating data included in this report unless otherwise noted. The assets and liabilities associated with the participating business are included in UNUM's Consolidated Balance Sheets. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES UNUM owns home office property consisting of five office buildings and four service buildings located throughout the Portland, Maine area. UNUM also owns an office building in the United Kingdom, which is the home office of UNUM Limited. The home office of the Colonial Companies is located in Columbia, South Carolina, and is also owned by UNUM. In addition, UNUM leases, on periods principally from five to ten years, office and warehouse space for use by its home office affiliates and sales forces. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the normal course of its business operations, UNUM is involved in litigation from time to time with claimants, beneficiaries and others, and a number of lawsuits were pending at December 31, 1994. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated operating results of UNUM. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted to a vote of shareholders, through solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter 1994. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The principal markets in which UNUM's common stock is traded are the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange. UNUM's ticker symbol is "UNM." As of December 31, 1994, there were 25,280 shareholders of record of common stock. Information concerning restrictions on the ability of UNUM's subsidiaries to transfer funds to UNUM in the form of cash dividends is described in Item 8 (Note 14).

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW During 1994, UNUM reported decreased income before income taxes, which was primarily attributable to unfavorable claims experience in two of UNUM's largest product lines, individual disability as reported in the Individual Disability segment, and group long term disability, as reported in the Employee Benefits segment. As further described in the Individual Disability segment, throughout 1994 UNUM's individual disability business in the United States experienced a higher incidence of new claims and a disproportionate number of larger claims that management has attributed to certain geographical and occupational segments, particularly physicians. As a result, in 1994 UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and established a reserve for future estimated losses of $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflect management's current expectations for morbidity trends for the existing individual disability business, as reported in the Individual Disability segment. This reserve strengthening resulted in an increase to benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statement of Income of $192.4 million and a decrease to net income of $125.1 million, or $1.69 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1994. It is not possible to predict whether morbidity trends will be consistent with UNUM's current assumptions. During 1994, UNUM's North American group long term disability results, as reported in the Employee Benefits segment, were adversely affected through a combination of increased incidence of new claims and an increased number of large claims. Management continues to address these unfavorable claim trends by increasing prices on selected new and inforce business, implementing more stringent underwriting guidelines, and strengthening risk management programs. Management believes these actions will strengthen UNUM's ability to deal with these disability claims trends into the future, and that the level of future earnings of the group long term disability product will be a function of the effectiveness of these continuing actions and the time required for these actions to take effect. During 1994, several of UNUM's businesses were contending with various proposals to reform the health care delivery system in the United States. While proposed federal health care legislation was not enacted in 1994, structural reform is under way, which UNUM believes has and will continue to alter the medical profession, as well as the social and economic environment of the health care industry. Management believes the uncertainties as to how the health care industry will emerge from such structural reform, as well as changes in and consolidation of the health care delivery system, contributed to a higher incidence of new and larger claims for physicians. The interest rate environment changed dramatically during 1994, as long-term interest rates rose from a more than twenty-year low experienced in 1993, along with increases in the prime lending rates and short-term rates. However, average investment yields on new fixed maturity purchases for the past two years remain below the existing average portfolio yield, which has decreased the average rate used to discount disability claim reserve liabilities and decreased levels of investment income in 1994 and 1993, despite continued growth in invested assets. Management anticipates that the average investment portfolio yield will further decline, since UNUM invests its cash flows in high quality assets that currently have yields below the existing average portfolio yields. Economic indicators at the end of 1994 and in early 1995 were predicting modest growth in 1995 for UNUM's major markets: the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. In February 1995, the Federal Reserve Board tightened credit policy, due to continued concerns about inflation, by raising the federal funds rate to 6%, the highest level in four years. This represents an increase of three full percentage points since the Federal Reserve Board started raising rates in February 1994. Also in 1994, the central banks in Canada and the United Kingdom increased interest rates. During 1994, long-term yields increased; however, since long-term yields are based on market dynamics, management cannot predict the impact of a higher short-term rate on future long- term yields. The increase in income before income taxes in 1993 was primarily due to expense management, favorable claims experience in the Individual Disability segment and unusually favorable interest spread margins on tax sheltered annuities in the Retirement Security segment. Expenses of $9.6 million, or $0.12 per share, incurred in connection with the merger of UNUM and Colonial Companies, Inc., included in Corporate, and unfavorable group life claims experience in the Employee Benefits segment partially offset these results. ACCOUNTING CHANGES Effective January 1, 1994, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specified the accounting and reporting for certain investments in equity securities and for all investments in debt securities. UNUM adopted the provisions of FAS 115 for these investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, UNUM increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities included in stockholders' equity on January 1, 1994, by $41.8 million (net of deferred taxes of $22.5 million) to reflect the unrealized holding gains on fixed maturities classified as available for sale which were previously carried at amortized cost. In accordance with FAS 115, prior year consolidated financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The adoption of FAS 115 did not affect 1994 net income. Included in 1993 net income were the cumulative and incremental effects of the adoption of FAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," and FAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted FAS 106, which changed the method for recognition of the cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions from a cash basis to an accrual basis over the years in which employees render the related services. UNUM elected to recognize the FAS 106 liability at January 1, 1993, of $48.8 million as a cumulative effect of an accounting change which decreased net income by $32.1 million, or $0.40 per share, in 1993. The incremental effect of FAS 106 for 1993 was increased operating expenses of approximately $6.0 million from 1992. Also effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted FAS 109, which changed the method for calculating and reporting deferred income taxes in the financial statements from the deferred method to the liability method. The cumulative effect of this accounting change amounted to a $20.0 million increase, or $0.25 per share, in 1993 net income. UNUM also adopted FAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts," effective January 1, 1993, which resulted in an increase in other assets of $80.0 million and a corresponding increase in future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim expenses, but did not affect 1993 net income. INCOME TAXES Effective tax rates, which reflect income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income, were 22.1%, 32.2% and 26.9% for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The significant reduction in the effective tax rate for 1994 resulted primarily from reduced pretax earnings. Reported income tax expense was below the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for 1994 and 1993, and 34% for 1992, primarily due to tax savings from investments in tax-exempt securities. Although investments in tax-exempt securities result in increased consolidated net income, these investments reduce UNUM's business segments' income before income taxes. In 1993, UNUM's growth in pretax income outpaced the growth of income from tax- exempt securities, which resulted in an increased effective tax rate. On August 10, 1993, legislation was enacted to increase the federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. The change in tax rates resulted in a $7.8 million, or $0.10 per share, charge related to the adjustment of deferred tax liabilities. Excluding the adjustment to deferred income tax expense of $7.8 million for the enacted tax rate change, the 1993 effective tax rate would have been 30.5%. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SEGMENT

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SEGMENT The Employee Benefits segment includes group long term disability ("group LTD"), group life and other employee benefits products including short term disability, accidental death and dismemberment and dental insurance, which are sold by UNUM Life Insurance Company of America ("UNUM America") and First UNUM Life Insurance Company ("First UNUM"). Increased sales and selected price increases on new and inforce cases contributed to the premium growth of 6.5% in the Employee Benefits segment in 1994. Rate increases to address unfavorable experience on selected segments of the inforce business contributed to the decline in both the group LTD and group life premium persistency rates in 1994. In general, case terminations resulting from rate increases have occurred in less profitable segments of these businesses. Management expects to continue to seek inforce case rate increases, as appropriate, given claims experience, to improve profitability. However, such rate actions may increase case terminations and decrease persistency rates for these businesses. In 1994 and 1993, group LTD was active in acquiring closed blocks of claims which generated one-time premiums totaling $8.6 million and $58.3 million, respectively. Management intends to pursue additional claim block acquisitions in the future. The 22.1% premium growth in 1993 reflected record sales in all of the Employee Benefits segment's product lines. Premium growth also reflected selected price increases, acquisitions of closed blocks of claims, and slight growth of the employment and salary levels for group LTD's existing customer base. Renewal rate actions for group LTD had a minimal impact on the premium persistency rate for 1993. During 1994, the group LTD business experienced a higher incidence of new claims and an increased number of large claims, which were the primary causes of the increased benefit ratio for the Employee Benefits segment from 1993. Management has identified a number of geographical and occupational segments of the group LTD business which are experiencing higher than expected claims. Management continues to pursue these segments of the business for underwriting and pricing actions, and is addressing increased incidence rates, lower recovery rates, and the more subjective nature of the types of disability claims by implementing new, and enhancing existing, risk management programs. Group LTD earnings in 1994 were also adversely affected by a decrease in the discount rate used to determine reserves, from 9.34% at December 31, 1993, to 9.18% at December 31, 1994, which resulted in an increase to claim reserves. The discount rate is a composite yield of assets specifically matched with the group LTD reserves. Management expects the discount rate will further decline, since current cash flows are invested in high quality assets at current yields, which are below the composite yields of the existing assets purchased in prior years. UNUM has increased prices on both existing and new business in order to mitigate the impact of the interest rate environment. Reserves for unpaid claims are estimates based on UNUM's historical experience and other actuarial assumptions, which consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends, risk management programs and renewal actions. Many factors affect actuarial calculations of claim reserves, including but not limited to interest rates, and current and anticipated incidence rates, recovery rates, and economic and societal conditions. Reserve estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated with any resulting adjustments to reserves reflected in current operating results. Given the complexity of the reserving process, the ultimate liability may be more or less than such estimates indicate. During 1994, management implemented and strengthened various risk management programs to address the unfavorable claims trends experienced in group LTD. In addition to the selected price increases on new and inforce business, more stringent underwriting practices, and reducing benefit options for certain segments of the business, management has established special units to address specific aspects of disability claims, including complex and fraudulent claims. Additionally, management has implemented new group LTD contract provisions which provide risk management features and claimant rehabilitation incentives. Also, management continually reviews the benefits management process to identify and strengthen risk management policies and procedures. Management believes these underwriting, pricing and risk management actions will strengthen UNUM's ability to deal with these disability claims trends into the future, and that the level of future earnings of the group LTD product will be a function of the effectiveness of these continuing actions and the time required for these actions to take effect. The group life business reported favorable claims experience in 1994. Management continues to address higher than expected claims in certain portions of the business by imposing more stringent underwriting requirements and increasing prices. Management believes these actions improved overall claims experience for group life products in 1994. The ratio of operating expenses to premiums was 20.2%, 21.0%, and 23.4% in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The decreases in 1994 and 1993 were attributable to continued efforts to manage expense growth and increased premium from claim block purchases in 1993, which do not have proportionally higher expenses. Deferred policy acquisition costs increased in 1994 and 1993 due primarily to deferrals of higher marketing costs associated with increased sales and renewal activity. In summary, the improvement in income before income taxes for the Employee Benefits segment in 1994 was primarily due to favorable claims experience in the group life and short term disability businesses, a lower operating expense ratio, and increased realized investment gains, which were partially offset by unfavorable claims experience in the group LTD business. Strong premium growth and a lower operating expense ratio, which were partially offset by unfavorable claims experience in the group life business and lower realized investment gains, resulted in increased income before income taxes for 1993 as compared with 1992.

nm = not meaningful or in excess of 100% RELATED BUSINESSES SEGMENT The Related Businesses segment includes: UNUM Limited, the United Kingdom's leader in group disability insurance; Commercial Life Insurance Company ("Commercial"), a leader in special risk insurance and professional association insurance marketing; and Reinsurance Operations, which includes Duncanson & Holt, Inc. ("D&H"), a leading accident and health reinsurance underwriting manager, and other special risk reinsurance operations. UNUM LIMITED The depressed economic environment that affected the United Kingdom in 1992 and 1993 experienced a modest recovery in 1994, which positively affected UNUM Limited's ability to sell long term disability insurance. UNUM Limited experienced strong premium growth in 1994 as sales increased and persistency rates improved. Also in 1994, claim block acquisitions generated one-time premium of $25.8 million. A reallocation of capital from UNUM Limited in 1992, and a decreasing interest rate environment, resulted in decreased investment income for the Related Businesses segment in 1993. UNUM Limited experienced favorable claims levels for most of 1994, which improved the benefit ratio from 1993. However, in late 1994, UNUM Limited incurred unfavorable claims experience, which management is evaluating to determine the need for pricing actions, changes in underwriting standards or risk management programs. If the unfavorable claims experience that developed in late 1994 were to continue, UNUM Limited's earnings could be negatively affected. Due to the nature of the risks insured and the relative size of the U.K. block of business, UNUM Limited's operating results can exhibit claims variability. Investment in administrative procedures and systems was the primary reason for increased operating expenses in 1993. On April 1, 1995, the United Kingdom's new Social Security (Incapacity for Work) Act of 1994 will be effective, and will shift a greater financial responsibility for disability benefits from the U.K. government to the private sector. Management believes this legislation will increase awareness of the need for disability insurance and expand the U.K. insurance market for long term disability products, which could favorably affect UNUM Limited's sales. However, it is unclear when the effects of this legislation will be evidenced. During 1994, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly against the British pound sterling, increasing UNUM Limited's earnings as reported in U.S. dollars. This reversed the trend in 1993 and 1992 when the U.S. dollar strengthened against the British pound sterling, decreasing earnings as reported in U.S. dollars. The weighted average exchange rate was approximately $1.53, $1.51 and $1.78 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. At December 31, 1994, the spot rate had increased to $1.56. COMMERCIAL Increased sales across all lines of Commercial's businesses in 1994 benefited premium growth, which was partially offset by higher than expected case terminations. The 1994 benefit ratio was driven by favorable experience in the special risk product line, offset by unfavorable claims experience in the association group disability business within certain occupational groups and geographical areas. Management is implementing rate increases and stronger underwriting policies to mitigate this unfavorable claims experience. The decrease in the benefit ratio in 1993 was primarily due to more favorable claims experience in the association group disability business. Due to the nature of the risks underwritten and relative size of the block of business, Commercial's special risk products can exhibit claims variability. REINSURANCE OPERATIONS In 1994, Reinsurance Operations had unfavorable claims experience in certain reinsurance pools and decreased fee income for D&H due to increased competition and contract terminations. Fee income and operating expenses increased in the Related Businesses segment in 1993 due to the full year inclusion of D&H, which was acquired in third quarter 1992. SUMMARY Income before income taxes increased in 1994 for the Related Businesses segment, primarily due to strong premium growth and favorable claims experience at UNUM Limited, partially offset by unfavorable claims experience in Commercial's association group disability business and in certain reinsurance pools. The principal reason for the increase in income before income taxes for the Related Businesses segment in 1993 was the inclusion of D&H results for a full year, which was partially offset by less favorable earnings for UNUM Limited due to a lower weighted average exchange rate.

nm = not meaningful or in excess of 100% COLONIAL COMPANIES SEGMENT The Colonial Companies segment includes Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company and affiliates, which offer payroll-deducted, voluntary employee benefits to employees at their worksites. The Colonial Companies segment ("Colonial") markets accident and sickness, cancer, and life insurance products primarily through independent sales representatives. In 1994, Colonial experienced an increase in sales, which was attributed to increased productivity from the sales organization and the offering of a number of new products. In 1993, Colonial experienced a slight decrease in sales, which management attributed to uncertainty in the marketplace as to the types of coverage that would be included in health care reform proposals. Management does not feel that 1994 sales were as negatively affected by health care reform fears, as the focus shifted away from legislative health care restructuring toward private market restructuring. Additionally, management views health care reform as an opportunity for UNUM by allowing Colonial to leverage its expertise in worksite marketing, since the workplace is considered to be a primary means of access to insurance benefits in the developing healthcare environment. While premium growth slowed in 1994, enhanced customer conservation programs have partially offset the weaker sales levels in 1993 and 1992 by improving persistency. Realized investment gains for 1993 include approximately $8.5 million of gains associated with Colonial's sales of higher yielding but callable investments to realign its investment portfolio with UNUM's investment philosophy. Fees and other income for 1992 reflect $4.0 million received from the settlement of a lawsuit against a competitor. Colonial's benefit ratio improved to 50.4% in 1994 from 51.4% in 1993. The lower 1994 benefit ratio was driven by favorable claims experience and improved incidence rates in most product lines, particularly in the cancer product line. Management expects the benefit ratio to increase in the future as Colonial continues to shift its product mix toward products with higher benefit ratios, lower expense ratios and better persistency. During 1994, the expense ratio increased because of higher than expected costs associated with a sales organization realignment and litigation expenses, which were partially offset by continued expense control efforts. The decline in 1993's expense ratio reflected management's efforts to control expenditures and improve operational efficiencies. Income before income taxes decreased in 1994 primarily because of reduced realized investment gains and increased expenses, partially offset by favorable claims experience. For 1993, Colonial's income before income taxes increased primarily through continued expense control and a higher level of realized investment gains attributed to the investment portfolio realignment.

nm = not meaningful or in excess of 100% INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY SEGMENT The Individual Disability segment includes disability income products sold in the United States and Canada through UNUM America and First UNUM, as well as private label agreements through these companies. The loss before income taxes of $(188.2) million for the Individual Disability segment for 1994 is primarily due to the $192.4 million reserve strengthening recorded in the third quarter of 1994 and a $12.3 million restructuring charge incurred in the fourth quarter as a result of the decision to stop selling non- cancellable disability income policies in the United States. During 1994, the Individual Disability segment experienced a higher incidence of new claims and a disproportionate number of large claims that management has attributed to certain geographic and occupational segments of the business, particularly physicians. Management believes that changes in and consolidation of the health care delivery system in the United States and the increased prevalence of emerging and often subjective types of disabilities have contributed to increased benefit costs. During the third quarter of 1994, management concluded that the deterioration of claims experience was not a temporary fluctuation in certain segments of the business, but was indicative of expected claim trends for the future. Unlike the group long term disability product, management has limited ability to manage the claims risk associated with non-cancellable individual disability business, since UNUM is contractually unable to reprice or cancel inforce policies that have become unprofitable because of changes in claims experience that were unforeseen when the policy was sold. The combination of these factors prompted UNUM to assess the adequacy of future premiums to provide for future benefits and expenses and the assumptions used in the existing claim reserves for the Individual Disability segment. As a result, in third quarter 1994, UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and established a reserve for estimated future losses of $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflect management's current expectations for morbidity trends and record the estimated future losses for the existing individual disability business, as reported in the Individual Disability segment. It is not possible to predict whether future morbidity trends will be consistent with UNUM's current assumptions. During the fourth quarter of 1994, excess-of- loss reinsurance totaling $60 million over three years was purchased through a Lloyd's of London syndicate to cover UNUM's exposure to claims exceeding levels assumed in the strengthened reserves. Management continues to evaluate its financial options for this business, including reinsurance opportunities. UNUM announced in November 1994 that it will discontinue sales of the traditional, fixed price, non-cancellable product in the United States upon introduction of new disability products in each state. Subject to state regulatory approval, UNUM expects to introduce the new disability products to most states during the second quarter of 1995. In connection with these product changes, management expects to incur costs during 1995 to develop and market the new individual disability products. UNUM has further tightened underwriting rules and practices, and made other product design limitations for the interim sales of the existing product. As a result of the tightened underwriting of the existing product and the time needed to develop the new products, management expects that sales of the Individual Disability segment will decrease significantly in 1995 from levels in 1994. UNUM is in continuing discussions with its private label partners as it develops the new disability products to determine the future course of its private label agreements. Private label agreements allow other insurance companies to market UNUM's individual disability product under their own names. In the fourth quarter of 1994, UNUM recorded a pretax charge of $12.3 million related to the restructuring of the individual disability business and resulting consolidation of home office operations in UNUM America, which was comprised of $7.1 million for severance costs for 150 field and 150 home office employees and $5.2 million for exit costs of certain leased facilities and equipment, expiring through 1998. The severance costs are expected to be paid by the end of 1995. The increase in income before income taxes for the Individual Disability segment in 1993 from 1992 was primarily due to more favorable claims experience and continued expense management.

nm = not meaningful or in excess of 100% RETIREMENT SECURITY SEGMENT The Retirement Security segment includes tax sheltered annuities ("TSAs"), long term care insurance, and beginning in 1993, lifestyle security protection products, all of which are marketed by UNUM America and First UNUM. During 1994 and 1993, UNUM offered the holders of certain types of TSA contracts the opportunity to modify such contracts. The proposed contract amendments provide for UNUM to increase the minimum guaranteed credited rates in return for contractholders relinquishing the right to make lump-sum withdrawals without an associated fee. As expected, certain contractholders elected to withdraw their funds rather than convert to the modified contract provisions, which affected the overall growth of invested assets under management. Management expects these types of withdrawals to continue, which may affect future growth of invested assets under management for TSAs. During 1994, UNUM implemented an investment strategy to increase investments in tax-exempt securities which has reduced income before income taxes for the segment. Although investments in tax-exempt securities resulted in increased consolidated net income, this investment strategy reduced the Retirement Security segment's income before income taxes by approximately $6.7 million in 1994. In addition, the low interest rate environment during the past two years has reduced the investment yields on TSA assets. As a result of these factors, investment income decreased by $8.4 million and increased by only $0.8 million, during 1994 and 1993, respectively. As interest rates declined in 1993, the rate and level of interest credited to TSA contractholders declined as well. Despite a rising interest rate environment in 1994, the level of interest credited to TSA contractholders continued to decline. As a result, the TSA business experienced unusually favorable interest spread margins in 1994 and 1993. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, the amount of interest credited to funds on deposit amounted to 70.3%, 70.5%, and 77.3% of investment income, respectively. Management does not expect interest spread margins experienced by TSAs in 1994 and 1993 to continue at the same level, which may reduce future earnings for the Retirement Security segment. Management believes the failure of the last Congress to pass health care reform legislation positively affected long term care insurance products, which experienced premium and sales growth during 1994 after lower than expected growth in 1993 due to the announcement of President Clinton's health care reform proposal that included long term care coverage. During 1994, block acquisitions generated one-time net premiums for long term care insurance products of $15.0 million. Management may pursue additional block acquisitions in the future. Long term care insurance products experienced an increased incidence of new claims during 1994, which management has addressed by implementing new underwriting guidelines. Income before income taxes increased in 1994 reflecting continued premium growth and expense reductions in the long term care insurance products partially offset by unfavorable claims experience. Additionally, during 1994 UNUM continued its investment in the development of long term care and lifestyle security protection products, and in a TSA business initiative which management expects will improve customer acquisition and service functions as well as reduce future operating expenses. Unusually favorable interest spread margins on tax sheltered annuities were the primary reason for increased income before income taxes in 1993. OTHER OPERATIONS SEGMENT

OTHER OPERATIONS SEGMENT The Other Operations segment includes individual life insurance business of UNUM Life Insurance Company of America, group medical insurance, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), deposit administration accounts ("DAs"), and 401(k) plans, all of which are no longer actively marketed by UNUM. The reduced invested asset base under management for GICs, DAs and 401(k) plans resulted in lower revenues from investment income and reduced amounts of interest credited. Management expects continued decreases in the amounts of investment income and interest credited as the related GIC, DA and 401(k) contracts mature or terminate. Management expects future earnings in the Other Operations segment to decline, reflecting the run-off nature of these closed blocks of businesses. During 1992, UNUM released the remaining restructuring reserve for the costs of withdrawal from the 401(k) business since actual costs were less than expected, resulting in increased pretax income of $5.3 million.

Corporate includes transactions that are generally non-insurance related, expenses incurred in conjunction with UNUM's long-term strategic investment in Japan and interest expense on corporate borrowings. The increased loss before income taxes in 1994 in Corporate was primarily due to increased interest expense and increased costs related to the investment in Japan. The increased loss before income taxes in 1993 was primarily due to the expenses incurred in connection with the March 26, 1993, merger of UNUM Corporation and Colonial Companies, Inc., decreased interest income and increased investment in Japan. UNUM JAPAN On June 20, 1994, the Japanese Ministry of Finance granted UNUM a provisional operating license which allowed UNUM to establish a non-life insurance company, UNUM Japan Accident Insurance Company Limited ("UNUM Japan"), to market disability and other accident products in Japan. UNUM Japan has subsequently received an official license and began selling group long term disability products in the fourth quarter of 1994, with the first policies effective January 1, 1995. UNUM Japan formed a cooperative relationship with Japan's leading short term disability insurer, Yasuda Fire & Marine Insurance Co., Ltd. to develop the new long term disability products and introduce them in Japan. The two companies continue to work together on market and product development and will also market their own separate long term disability products. UNUM expects to continue incurring costs to develop UNUM Japan's distribution network, advertising and risk management programs. INVESTMENTS UNUM has a fairly conservative investment philosophy, with a portfolio that is concentrated in investment grade bonds. UNUM evaluates total expected return after consideration of all associated expenses and losses, within criteria established for each product line. Product line investment strategies are developed to complement business risks by meeting the liquidity and solvency requirements of each product. UNUM purchases assets whose maturities, expected cash flows and prepayment conditions are consistent with these strategies. The nature and quality of the types of investments comply with policies established by management, which are more stringent overall than the statutes and regulations imposed by the jurisdictions in which UNUM's insurance subsidiaries are licensed. UNUM's investments are reported in the consolidated financial statements net of any allowances for probable losses. Allowances are established based on a review of specific assets as well as the overall portfolio, considering the carrying value of the underlying assets. If a decline in market value is considered to be other than temporary, the investment is reduced to estimated net realizable value and the reduction is recorded as a realized investment loss. UNUM discontinues the accrual of investment income on invested assets when it is determined that collectability is doubtful. Management monitors the risk associated with the invested asset portfolio and regularly reviews and adjusts the allowance for probable losses. At December 31, 1994, the composition of UNUM's $10,433.8 million of invested assets was 75.4% fixed maturities, 11.7% mortgage loans, 6.0% equity securities, 1.8% real estate and 5.1% other invested assets. Gross realized investment gains were $117.0 million, $85.2 million and $94.4 million, and gross realized investment losses were $71.4 million, $35.8 million and $52.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. FIXED MATURITIES: Effective January 1, 1994, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specified the accounting and reporting for certain investments in equity securities and for all investments in debt securities. UNUM adopted the provisions of FAS 115 for these investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994, which are classified and accounted for as follows: - Fixed maturities that UNUM has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and are reported at amortized cost, less an allowance for probable losses. The majority of UNUM's insurance reserve liabilities are generally long-term in nature and not subject to withdrawal. Since UNUM purchases assets whose maturities, expected cash flows, and prepayment conditions complement business risks by meeting the liquidity and solvency requirements of each product, the majority of UNUM's fixed maturities have been classified as "held to maturity" to match the longer term nature of UNUM's products. - Fixed maturities and equity securities classified as "available for sale" are reported at fair value. Related unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Fair values of fixed maturities are generally obtained from external quoted market sources, and if not externally quoted, are determined by UNUM primarily by using discounted cash flow models. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, UNUM increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities included in stockholders' equity on January 1, 1994, by $41.8 million (net of deferred taxes of $22.5 million) to reflect the unrealized holding gains on fixed maturities classified as available for sale which were previously carried at amortized cost. In accordance with FAS 115, prior year consolidated financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. UNUM reclassified certain fixed maturities from held to maturity to available for sale on January 1, 1994, in connection with the adoption of FAS 115. The increasing interest rate environment during 1994 resulted in depressed fair values for available for sale fixed maturities, which has decreased the initial $41.8 million increase in stockholders' equity to an unrealized loss of $42.8 million at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, and 1993, the fixed maturity portfolio included $193.8 million and $263.3 million of below investment grade bonds (below "Baa"), which represented 2.5% and 3.5% of the fixed maturity portfolio, respectively. These bonds had associated market values of $193.4 million and $279.1 million, respectively. Virtually all of the nonconvertible, below investment grade bonds were purchased at investment grade, but were subsequently downgraded. UNUM's investment policy is to invest primarily in fixed maturities of investment grade quality. Selected purchases of convertible subordinated debentures, which UNUM considers to be part of its investment strategy for equity securities, have contributed to the amount of below investment grade bonds. Fixed maturity ratings are obtained from external rating agencies, and if not externally rated, are rated by UNUM internally using similar methods. Management does not expect any risks or uncertainties associated with below investment grade bonds to have a significant affect on UNUM's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The percentage of fixed maturities delinquent 60 days or more compared to total fixed maturities was 0.25% at December 31, 1994, and 0.24% at December 31, 1993. During fourth quarter 1994, UNUM sold fixed maturities of five issuers classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $49.8 million due to evidence of significant unexpected deterioration of the issuers' creditworthiness. These sales resulted in a net realized loss of $3.0 million. MORTGAGES: At December 31, 1994, and 1993, UNUM's mortgage loans were $1,216.3 million and $1,432.2 million, respectively. The mortgage loan portfolio, as a percentage of total invested assets, has decreased to 11.7% as of December 31, 1994, from 14.1% as of December 31, 1993. It is anticipated that mortgages as a percentage of total invested assets will decline further, but at a slower rate, as new mortgage investments and refinances in selected markets will partially offset prepayments and scheduled maturities. Management establishes allowances for mortgage loans based upon a review of individual loans and the overall loan portfolio, considering the value of the underlying collateral. UNUM uses a comprehensive rating system to evaluate the investment and credit risk of each mortgage loan and to target specific properties for inspection and reevaluation. Overall, management believes that its mortgage loan portfolio is well diversified geographically and among property types. UNUM's incidence of new problem mortgage loans declined in 1994 as overall economic activity improved modestly, and many of the real estate markets in which UNUM has mortgage loans stabilized. Foreclosure activity and new reserve additions remained modest in 1994; however, management continues to expect additional delinquencies and problem loans in the future. Management believes the allowance provided on mortgage loans as of December 31, 1994, is adequate to cover probable losses. Restructured loans are defined by UNUM as loans whose terms have been modified to interest rates less than market at the time of restructure and are currently expected to perform pursuant to such modified terms. UNUM modifies loans to protect its investment and only when it is anticipated that the borrower will be able to meet the modified terms. As of December 31, 1994, restructured mortgage loans totaled $73.6 million, as compared with $65.9 million at December 31, 1993. Interest lost on restructured loans was not material in 1994, 1993 or 1992. Problem loans are defined as mortgage loans that were delinquent 60 days or more on a contract delinquency basis. Mortgage loans in the amount of $22.3 million and $26.1 million, both representing 1.8% of the mortgage loan portfolio, were delinquent 60 days or more on a contract delinquency basis, and were accounted for on a nonaccrual basis at December 31, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Interest lost on problem loans was not material in 1994, 1993 or 1992. Potential problem loans are defined by UNUM as current and performing loans with which management has some concerns about the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan terms and whose book value exceeds the market value of the underlying collateral. Loans in this category amounted to $36.2 million at December 31, 1994, versus $92.7 million at December 31, 1993. Active asset management contributed to the decline in this category during 1994. Realized investment losses related to restructured and problem mortgage loans in 1994 amounted to $8.5 million, compared with $4.8 million and $26.5 million for 1993 and 1992, respectively. Problem and potential problem mortgage loans as of December 31, 1994, are not expected to have a significant impact on UNUM's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. REAL ESTATE: At December 31, 1994, investment real estate and real estate held for sale amounted to $190.8 million and $31.0 million, respectively. This compares with $193.5 million of investment real estate and $24.7 million of real estate held for sale at December 31, 1993. UNUM has limited the growth of its real estate exposure, as a percentage of invested assets, through an active sales program. UNUM sold $25.4 million and $40.5 million of real estate at 103% and 105% of carrying value during 1994 and 1993, respectively. Real estate which meets certain investment criteria and is intended to be held long-term is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Real estate that has been acquired through foreclosure is valued at fair value at the date of foreclosure. Real estate held for sale is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is valued net of an allowance which reduces the carrying value to the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell, or cost. Occasionally, investment real estate is reclassified and revalued as real estate held for sale when it no longer meets UNUM's investment criteria. Additions to allowances for probable losses related to real estate held for sale resulted in realized investment losses of $0.8 million, $18.8 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Given the current real estate environment, additional foreclosures are anticipated, but at a reduced level from the early 1990s. Current and anticipated real estate acquired through foreclosure is not expected to have a significant affect on UNUM's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES UNUM's businesses produce positive cash flows, which are invested primarily in intermediate, fixed maturity investments intended to reflect the nature of anticipated cash obligations of insurance benefit payments and insurance contract maturities and to optimize investment returns at appropriate risk levels. To meet unexpected cash requirements and liquidity needs, UNUM maintains part of its investment portfolio in fixed maturities classified as available for sale, equity securities, cash and short-term investments. From time to time, dividend payments, which may be subject to approval by insurance regulatory authorities, are made from UNUM's affiliates and insurance subsidiaries to UNUM Corporation. These dividends, along with other funds, are used to service the needs of UNUM Corporation including: debt service, common stock dividends, stock repurchase, administrative costs and corporate development. Income determined using statutory accounting is one of the major determinants of an insurance company's dividend capacity to its parent in the following fiscal year. Statutory accounting rules and practices, which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles, are mandated by regulators in an insurance company's state of domicile. In 1994, UNUM America's disability businesses were adversely affected by unfavorable claims experience as discussed in the Employee Benefits and Individual Disability segments. As described in the Individual Disability segment, UNUM America strengthened reserves for existing claims related to the traditional non-cancellable individual disability products. As a result, UNUM America recognized a statutory after-tax charge of $69.6 million in third quarter 1994. These factors caused the 1994 statutory income of UNUM America to be significantly reduced to $39.2 million, as compared with $165.2 million in 1993. As a result of this reduction in UNUM America's statutory earnings, the amount available under current law for payment of dividends to UNUM Corporation from all U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries during 1995, without state insurance regulatory approval, decreased to approximately $81.3 million, as compared with $176.8 million for 1994. UNUM Corporation also has the ability to draw a dividend of approximately $30 million from its United Kingdom based affiliate, UNUM Limited, subject to certain U.S. tax consequences. Effective December 13, 1994, management expanded UNUM Corporation's lines of credit with a new committed revolving credit facility totaling $500 million, expiring on October 1, 1999, which replaced previously existing facilities totaling $300 million. UNUM Corporation's commercial paper program is supported by the revolving credit facility, and is available for general liquidity needs, capital expansion, acquisitions and stock repurchase. The committed revolving credit facility contains certain covenants which, among other provisions, require maintenance of certain levels of stockholders' equity and limits on level of debt. In September 1993, UNUM announced the filing of an omnibus shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which became effective on October 8, 1993, relating to $450 million of securities (including debt securities, preferred stock, common stock and other securities). On October 8, 1993, UNUM filed a prospectus supplement to establish a $250 million medium-term note program under the shelf registration. The medium-term note program and the unsold portion of the shelf registration carry ratings of "A1" (Medium Quality) and "(P)A1" (Medium Quality), respectively, from Moody's Investors Service, and "A+" (Strong) from Standard & Poor's Corporation. The unsold portion of the shelf registration relating to subordinated debt and preferred stock carries ratings of "(P)A2" (Medium Quality) and "(P)"a1"" (Upper-Medium Quality), respectively, from Moody's Investors Service. At December 31, 1994, UNUM had short-term and long-term debt totaling $246.6 million and $182.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 1994, approximately $280 million was available for additional financing under the existing revolving credit facility and approximately $390 million of investment grade debt instruments was available for issuance under the shelf registration. On February 28, 1995, UNUM borrowed $100 million under the revolving credit facility, which was infused into UNUM America in exchange for surplus debentures. Repayment of principal and interest on the surplus debentures is subject to state insurance regulatory approval. Contingent upon market conditions and corporate needs, management may refinance short-term notes payable with longer term securities. In September 1993, UNUM announced the resumption of a program to repurchase its common stock pursuant to an existing Board of Directors' resolution. On February 11, 1994, UNUM's Board of Directors voted to expand UNUM's authorization to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares, bringing the total number of shares authorized for repurchase to 44.0 million shares. Since the resumption of the stock repurchase program, UNUM has acquired 7.6 million shares through December 31, 1994, in the open market at an aggregate cost of $375.8 million that was primarily funded through additional borrowings. This share repurchase contributed to the decrease in the number of shares outstanding at December 31, 1994, to 72.4 million, from 76.0 million at December 31, 1993. Prior to the resumption of this repurchase program, UNUM had not acquired any shares in the open market since 1990. At December 31, 1994, approximately 2.7 million outstanding shares remained authorized for repurchase. During 1994 and 1993, withdrawals of contracts reported in the Other Operations segment, including contract terminations, payments to participants and transfers to other carriers, were approximately $130 million and $309 million, respectively. Withdrawals during 1994 and 1993 were at levels expected by management and reflect the run-off nature of these closed blocks of businesses. UNUM manages liquidity objectives by including certain conditions in pension contracts which prohibit or restrict availability of funds. UNUM was committed at December 31, 1994, to purchase fixed maturities and other invested assets in the amount of $37.5 million. Independent of the cash flows of UNUM Corporation, management anticipates that the operating cash flows of the subsidiaries of UNUM Corporation will be sufficient to meet benefit obligations, planned investment commitments and operational needs of those companies. EFFECT OF INFLATION Inflation is one of the factors that has increased the need for insurance. Many policyholders who once had adequate insurance programs at lower coverage levels have increased their disability insurance coverage to provide the same relative financial benefits and protection. Changing interest rates, which are traditionally linked to changes in inflation, affect UNUM's level of discounted reserves. While rising interest rates are beneficial when investing current cash flows, they can also reduce the fair value of existing fixed rate long-term investments. In addition, lower interest rates can lead to early payoffs and refinancing of some of UNUM's fixed rate investments. Management generally invests in fixed rate instruments that are structured to limit the exposure to such reinvestment risk. RATINGS A.M. Best Company ("Best's"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") are among the third parties that provide UNUM independent assessments of its overall financial position. Ratings from these agencies for financial strength and claims-paying ability are available for the United States domiciled insurance company subsidiaries rather than on a consolidated basis, since the financial information used to develop the ratings is based on statutory accounting practices in the United States. UNUM's largest affiliate, UNUM Life Insurance Company of America ("UNUM America"), had its Best's financial strength rating affirmed at "A++" (Superior), the highest rating assigned by Best's, in May 1994. Best's again affirmed UNUM America's "A++" rating in November 1994. In January 1995, S&P completed its review of UNUM America and lowered its claims-paying ability rating to "AA" (Excellent) from "AA+" (Excellent). According to S&P, the downgrade was a result of pressures on risk-adjusted capitalization and higher financial leverage, due in part to lower profitability. In March 1995, Moody's completed its review of UNUM America and lowered its financial strength rating to "Aa2" (Excellent) from "Aa1" (Excellent) citing the outlook for UNUM's group long term disability business as well as UNUM's increasing leverage and moderately reduced financial flexibility. First UNUM Life Insurance Company ("First UNUM") also had its financial strength rating reaffirmed by Best's in May 1994, at "A+" (Superior). In January 1995, S&P lowered First UNUM's claims-paying ability rating to "AA" (Excellent) from "AA+" (Excellent). In March 1995, Moody's confirmed First UNUM's "Aa2" (Excellent) financial strength rating. Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company ("Colonial Life") had its Best's financial strength rating affirmed as "A+" (Superior) in May 1994. In March 1994, S&P assigned an "AA-" (Excellent) claims-paying ability rating to Colonial. Subsequently, in January 1995, S&P affirmed Colonial's "AA-" (Excellent) rating. In March 1995, Moody's lowered Colonial's financial strength rating to "Aa3" (Excellent) from "Aa2" (Excellent). Commercial Life Insurance Company had its Best's financial strength rating upgraded to "A" (Excellent) in July 1994. UNUM Corporation has the following debt ratings based on consolidated financial information under generally accepted accounting principles. In January 1995, S&P lowered the senior debt rating of UNUM Corporation to "A+" (Strong) from "AA" (Very Strong), and lowered the commercial paper rating to "A-1" (Strong) from "A-1+" (Extremely Strong). In March 1995, Moody's lowered UNUM Corporation's senior debt rating to "A1" (Medium Quality) from "Aa3" (High Quality) and confirmed the commercial paper rating of "P-1" (Superior Ability). INSURANCE REGULATION The National Association of Insurance Commissioners adopted a set of Risk-Based Capital standards for the life and health insurance industry, which became effective in 1993. These Risk-Based Capital standards are one way to measure the risk that insurance companies assume in the course of conducting insurance and investment activities. The Risk-Based Capital standards for life insurance companies are based on a formula that establishes capital requirements relating to existing asset default risk, insurance risk, interest rate (asset/liability mismatch) risk and business risk. A company's Total Adjusted Capital (statutory capital, surplus, and Asset Valuation Reserve plus certain other adjustments) is compared to the Authorized Control Level ("ACL") of Risk-Based Capital produced by the formula. Subject to certain trend tests to determine the change in the ACL ratio from year to year, companies with Total Adjusted Capital above 200% of ACL are assumed to be adequately capitalized. Companies below 200% of ACL are identified as requiring various levels of regulatory action ranging from increased information requirements for companies between 150% and 200% of ACL, to mandatory control by the domiciliary insurance department for companies below 70% of ACL. At December 31, 1994, the ACL ratios for UNUM America, First UNUM, Colonial Life and Commercial Life were approximately 305%, 355%, 440% and 380%, respectively. This compares with ACL ratios at December 31, 1993, of approximately 350%, 390%, 450% and 380%, respectively. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS UNUM periodically uses common derivative financial instruments such as options, futures and forward exchange contracts to hedge certain risks associated with future investments and certain payments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. These derivative financial instruments are used to protect UNUM from the effect of market fluctuations in interest and exchange rates between the contract date and the date on which the hedged transaction occurs. UNUM does not intend to hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of trading. At December 31, 1994, UNUM had no open derivative financial instruments. At December 31, 1993, UNUM held interest rate futures contracts with commitments to purchase government securities with total par values of $207.0 million. In using these instruments, UNUM is subject to the off-balance-sheet risk that the counterparties to the transactions will fail to completely perform as contracted. UNUM manages this risk by only entering into contracts with highly rated institutions and listed exchanges. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which defines the principles to measure and record a loan when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In October 1994, the FASB issued FAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," which amends FAS 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing, measuring and displaying interest income on an impaired loan. UNUM will adopt FAS 114 and FAS 118 effective January 1, 1995. Adoption of FAS 114 and FAS 118 is not expected to have a material effect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. ITEM 8.

SEE NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries ("UNUM") have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles for stock life insurance companies. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. RECLASSIFICATION Certain December 31, 1993, and 1992 amounts have been reclassified in 1994 for comparative purposes. INVESTMENTS Investments are reported as follows: - Fixed maturities held to maturity (certain bonds and redeemable preferred stocks) - principally at amortized cost, less an allowance for probable losses. - Fixed maturities available for sale (certain bonds and redeemable preferred stocks) - commencing January 1, 1994, at fair value. Prior to January 1, 1994, at lower of aggregate amortized cost less an allowance for probable losses, or fair value. See Note 3 "Investments" for a discussion of the adoption of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115. - Equity securities available for sale (common stocks and non-redeemable preferred stocks) - at fair value. - Mortgage loans - at amortized cost less an allowance for probable losses. - Real estate - at cost less accumulated depreciation. - Policy loans - at unpaid principal balance. - Other long-term investments - at cost plus UNUM's equity in undistributed net earnings since acquisition. - Short-term investments - at cost. Fixed maturities that UNUM has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity. Certain fixed maturities and equity securities are classified as available for sale as they may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk, liquidity and capital needs, or other similar economic factors. Related unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) INVESTMENTS (Continued) Real estate held for sale, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is valued at the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell, or cost. UNUM has provided an allowance for probable losses on real estate held for sale which reduces the carrying value of the asset to fair value. If a decline in fair value of an invested asset is considered to be other than temporary, the investment is reduced to its net realizable value and the reduction is accounted for as a realized investment loss. Subsequent increases and decreases in fair value, if not an other than temporary impairment, of available for sale securities are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred taxes. UNUM discontinues the accrual of investment income on invested assets when it is determined that collectability is doubtful. Realized investment gains and losses, which are determined on the basis of specific identification and include adjustments for allowances for probable losses, are reported separately in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Purchases and sales of short-term financial instruments are part of investing activities and not necessarily a part of the cash management program. Therefore, short-term financial instruments are classified as investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are included as investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Gains or losses on hedges of existing assets or liabilities are deferred and included in the carrying amounts of those assets or liabilities. Gains or losses related to qualifying hedges of firm commitments or anticipated transactions are also deferred and recognized in the carrying amount of the underlying asset or liability when the hedged transaction occurs. RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUES AND RELATED EXPENSES Group insurance premiums are recognized as income over the period to which the premiums relate. Individual disability premiums are recognized as income when due. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This association is accomplished by recording a provision for future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim expenses, and amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUES AND RELATED EXPENSES (Continued): For retirement and universal life products, premium and other policy fee revenue consists of charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration, and surrenders assessed during the period. Charges related to services to be performed in the future are deferred until earned. The amounts received in excess of premium and fees are recorded as deposits and included in other policyholder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Benefits and expenses include benefit claims in excess of related account balances, interest credited at various rates and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS The costs of acquiring new business that vary with and are related primarily to the production of new business, have been deferred to the extent such costs are deemed recoverable from future profits. Such costs include commissions, certain costs of policy issue and underwriting, and certain variable field office expenses. For individual disability, group disability, and group life and health business, the costs are amortized in proportion to expected future premiums. For universal life and certain retirement products, the costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits from interest margins, mortality and other elements of performance under the contracts. Amortization is adjusted periodically to reflect differences between actual experience and original assumptions, with any resulting changes reflected in current operating results. The amounts deferred and amortized were as follows:
Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 1992 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred $308.1 $282.8 $237.6 Less amortized (152.8) (147.7) (125.9) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase in deferred policy acquisition costs $155.3 $135.1 $111.7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) RESERVES FOR FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS Reserves for future policy benefits are calculated by the net-level premium method, and are based on UNUM's expected morbidity, mortality and interest rate assumptions at the time a policy is issued. These reserves represent the portion of premiums received, accumulated with interest and held to provide for claims that have not yet been incurred. Reserves for group insurance policies consist primarily of unearned premiums. The interest rates used in the calculation of reserves for future policy benefits at December 31, 1994, and 1993, principally ranged from:
1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Individual disability 5.5% to 9.5% 7.0% to 9.5% Individual life 5.0% to 9.0% 5.0% to 9.0% Individual accident and health 5.0% to 9.0% 6.0% to 11.8% Individual and group annuities 5.0% to 9.0% 5.0% to 9.0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain reserve calculations are based on interest rates within these ranges graded down over periods from 15 to 20 years. RESERVES FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES Unpaid claims and claim expense reserves represent the amount estimated to fund claims that have been reported but not settled and claims incurred but not reported. Reserves for unpaid claims are estimated based on UNUM's historical experience and other actuarial assumptions which consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends, risk management programs and renewal actions. Many factors affect actuarial calculations of claim reserves, including but not limited to interest rates, and current and anticipated incidence rates, recovery rates, and economic and societal conditions. Reserve estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated with any resulting adjustments to reserves reflected in current operating results. Given the complexity of the reserving process, the ultimate liability may be more or less than such estimates indicate. The interest rates used in the calculation of disability product reserves at December 31, 1994, and 1993, were principally as follows:
1994 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group long term disability (North America) 9.18% 9.34% Group long term disability (United Kingdom) 9.9% 10.5% Individual disability 6.75% to 9.9% 8.0% to 10.0% -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) RESERVES FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES (Continued) The interest rate used to discount the disability reserves is a composite of the yields on assets specifically matched with each block of business. For other accident and health business, reserves are based on projections of historical claims run-out patterns. Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses is summarized as follows:
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance at January 1 $3,341.5 $2,983.6 $2,808.0 Less reinsurance recoverables (68.0) -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Balance at January 1 3,273.5 2,983.6 2,808.0 Incurred related to: Current year 1,609.3 1,417.8 1,253.6 Prior years 436.0 238.0 126.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total incurred 2,045.3 1,655.8 1,380.4 Paid related to: Current year 517.6 471.0 405.3 Prior years 1,030.0 894.9 799.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total paid 1,547.6 1,365.9 1,204.8 Net Balance at December 31 3,771.2 3,273.5 2,983.6 Plus reinsurance recoverables 82.7 68.0 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31 $3,853.9 $3,341.5 $2,983.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in incurrals related to prior years was $436.0 million, $238.0 million, and $126.8 million (net of reinsurance), for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. These increases were primarily the result of interest accrued on reserves, changes in reserve estimates and assumptions, and changes in foreign exchange rates. Due to the long-term claims payment pattern of some of UNUM's businesses, certain reserves, particularly disability, are discounted for interest. Interest accrued on reserves increased prior years' incurrals by approximately $267 million, $237 million and $225 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Approximately $154 million of the increase in prior years' incurrals in 1994 was primarily related to changes in reserve estimates and assumptions of morbidity, mortality and expense costs of the group long term and individual disability reserves, which were affected by the third quarter 1994 reserve strengthening. Changes in estimates of morbidity, mortality and expense costs caused an increase in prior years' incurrals of approximately $6 million in 1993 and a decrease of approximately $46 million in 1992. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) RESERVES FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES (Continued) Foreign exchange translations, primarily related to the disability reserves of UNUM's United Kingdom based affiliate, UNUM Limited, caused prior years' incurrals to increase by approximately $15 million in 1994, and decrease by approximately $5 million and $52 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts," which eliminated the practice by insurance enterprises of reporting assets and liabilities relating to reinsured contracts net of the effects of reinsurance. Since UNUM did not restate its financial statements upon adoption of FAS 113, reserve balances prior to December 31, 1993, are shown net of reinsurance recoverables. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE During 1994, UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and established a reserve for estimated future losses of $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflect management's current expectations of morbidity trends for the existing individual disability business, as reported in the Individual Disability segment. This change in accounting estimate resulted in an increase to benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statement of Income of $192.4 million, and a decrease to net income of $125.1 million, or $1.69 per share. OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS Other policyholder funds are liabilities for investment-type contracts and represent customer deposits plus interest credited to those deposits at various rates. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS Certain assets of UNUM's defined benefit plans, 401(k) contracts and tax sheltered annuity contracts are in separate accounts that are pooled investment funds of securities. Investment income and realized gains and losses on these accounts accrue directly to the contractholders. Assets, carried at market value, and liabilities of the separate accounts are shown separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of the separate accounts are legally segregated and are not subject to claims which arise out of any other business of UNUM. ACCOUNTING FOR PARTICIPATING INDIVIDUAL LIFE INSURANCE Participating policies issued by the former Union Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Union Mutual") prior to UNUM's conversion to a stock life insurance company on November 14, 1986, will remain participating as long as they remain in force. A Participation Fund Account ("PFA") has been established for the sole benefit of all of Union Mutual's individual participating life and annuity policies and contracts. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) ACCOUNTING FOR PARTICIPATING INDIVIDUAL LIFE INSURANCE (Continued) The assets of the PFA are to provide for the benefit, dividend and certain expense obligations of the participating individual life insurance policies and annuity contracts. This line of business participates in the experience of the PFA and its operations have been excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Income. The PFA represents approximately 2.5% and 3.0% of total assets and 3.0% and 3.5% of total liabilities at December 31, 1994, and 1993, respectively. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes includes amounts currently payable and deferred income taxes, which result from differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred U.S. income taxes have not been provided on accumulated earnings of UNUM's foreign subsidiaries. These earnings would become subject to U.S. tax if remitted to UNUM Corporation. EARNINGS PER SHARE The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share was approximately 74,158,000, 78,779,000 and 78,542,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The assumed exercise of outstanding stock options does not result in a material dilution of earnings per share. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair values are based on quoted market prices, when available. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These valuation techniques require management to develop a significant number of assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flow. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets or to disclosures by other companies with similar financial instruments. These fair value disclosures do not purport to be the amount which could be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of UNUM's financial instruments at December 31, 1994, and 1993:
1994 1993 ----------------------- --------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Amount Value Amount Value --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial assets: Fixed maturities: Held to maturity $6,227.2 $6,168.6 $6,560.7 $7,149.9 Available for sale 1,640.6 1,640.6 872.0 929.9 Equity securities available for sale 627.9 627.9 730.0 730.0 Mortgage loans 1,216.3 1,265.4 1,423.2 1,558.4 Policy loans 201.0 201.0 187.9 187.9 Short-term investments 291.9 291.9 69.6 69.6 Cash 36.1 36.1 20.8 20.8 Accrued investment income 195.9 195.9 184.0 184.0 Financial liabilities: Other policyholder funds: Investment-type insurance contracts: With defined maturities $ 667.0 $ 685.0 $ 847.0 $ 956.0 With no defined maturities 3,013.0 2,948.0 3,044.0 2,952.0 Individual annuities and supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies 84.6 84.6 89.0 89.0 Notes payable 428.7 414.5 238.6 241.9 Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Interest rate futures contracts -- -- -- 0.3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments: FIXED MATURITIES: Fair values for fixed maturities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the investments. EQUITY SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Fair values for equity securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices and are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at these values. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) MORTGAGE LOANS: Fair values for mortgage loans are estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for similar mortgage loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. Mortgage loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. POLICY LOANS: Fair values for policy loans approximate the carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS, CASH AND ACCRUED INVESTMENT INCOME: Fair values for these instruments approximate the carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. INVESTMENT-TYPE INSURANCE CONTRACTS: Fair values for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts with no defined maturities are the amounts payable on demand after surrender charges at the balance sheet date. Fair values for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts with defined maturities are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates that would be offered currently for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. The estimated fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts (investment-type and other than investment-type) are taken into consideration in UNUM's overall management of interest rate risk, which minimizes exposure to changing interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts. INDIVIDUAL ANNUITIES AND SUPPLEMENTARY CONTRACTS NOT INVOLVING LIFE CONTINGENCIES: Fair values approximate the carrying amounts reported in other policyholder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. NOTES PAYABLE: Fair values of short-term borrowings approximate the carrying amount. Fair values of long-term notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on UNUM's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for off-balance-sheet financial instruments are based on current settlement values. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" which defines the principles to measure and record a loan when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In October 1994, the FASB issued FAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," which amends FAS 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing, measuring and displaying interest income on an impaired loan. UNUM will adopt FAS 114 and FAS 118 effective January 1, 1995. Adoption of FAS 114 and FAS 118 is not expected to have a material effect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. NOTE 2. COLONIAL MERGER On December 3, 1992, UNUM and Colonial Companies, Inc. ("Colonial"), signed a definitive merger agreement. On March 26, 1993, Colonial Class A common stock shareholders voted to approve the merger. Under the agreement, UNUM exchanged 0.731 shares of its common stock for each share of Colonial Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on March 26, 1993. UNUM issued approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock from treasury in connection with the merger. In addition, outstanding options to acquire shares of Colonial Class B common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of UNUM common stock. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1993, included a $9.6 million charge, or $0.12 per share, for expenses incurred to effect the merger. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS Effective January 1, 1994, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specified the accounting and reporting for certain investments in equity securities and for all investments in debt securities. UNUM adopted the provisions of FAS 115 for these investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994, which are classified and accounted for as follows: - Fixed maturities that UNUM has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and are reported at amortized cost, less an allowance for probable losses. - Fixed maturities and equity securities classified as "available for sale" are reported at fair value. Related unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, UNUM increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities included in stockholders' equity on January 1, 1994, by $41.8 million (net of deferred taxes of $22.5 million) to reflect the unrealized holding gains on fixed maturities classified as available for sale which were previously carried at amortized cost. In accordance with FAS 115, prior year consolidated financial statements and disclosures have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. UNUM reclassified certain fixed maturities from held to maturity to available for sale on January 1, 1994, in connection with the adoption of FAS 115. The following tables summarize the components of investment income, realized investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized investment gains (losses):

Gross gains of $12.4 million and $18.9 million, and gross losses of $1.3 million and $3.5 million, were realized on sales of fixed maturities in 1993 and 1992, respectively. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS (Continued) FIXED MATURITIES (Continued) During fourth quarter 1994, UNUM sold fixed maturities of five issuers classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $49.8 million due to evidence of significant unexpected deterioration of the issuers' creditworthiness. These sales resulted in a net realized loss of $3.0 million. EQUITY SECURITIES The fair values, which also represent carrying amounts, and the cost of equity securities available for sale were as follows at December 31, 1994:
Fair (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Cost Value ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Common stocks: Public utilities $ 57.5 $ 53.1 Industrial, miscellaneous and all other 434.7 574.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $ 492.2 $ 627.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1994, cumulative gross unrealized investment gains on equity securities available for sale totaled $158.7 million and losses totaled $(23.0) million. MORTGAGE LOANS Restructured mortgage loans at amortized cost amounted to $73.6 million and $65.9 million at December 31, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings represent loans that are refinanced with terms more favorable to the borrower. Interest foregone on these loans was not material for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 or 1992. OTHER Real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt cumulatively amounts to $119.3 million at December 31, 1994. Real estate held for sale amounted to $31.0 million at December 31, 1994, and $24.7 million at December 31, 1993. At December 31, 1994, bonds with an amortized cost of $16.1 million, real estate with a depreciated cost of $4.7 million and no mortgage loans were non-income producing for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994. Interest lost on these investments was not material in 1994, 1993 or 1992. UNUM was committed at December 31, 1994, to purchase fixed maturities and other invested assets in the amount of $37.5 million.

Additions represent charges to net realized investment gains less recoveries, and deductions represent reserves released upon disposal or restructuring of the related asset. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS UNUM periodically uses common derivative financial instruments such as options, futures and forward exchange contracts to hedge certain risks associated with future investments and certain payments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. These derivative financial instruments are used to protect UNUM from the effect of market fluctuations in interest and exchange rates between the contract date and the date on which the hedged transaction occurs. UNUM does not intend to hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of trading. At December 31, 1994, UNUM had no open derivative financial instruments. At December 31, 1993, UNUM held interest rate futures contracts with commitments to purchase government securities with total par values of $207.0 million. In using these instruments, UNUM is subject to the off-balance-sheet risk that the counterparties to the transactions will fail to completely perform as contracted. UNUM manages this risk by only entering into contracts with highly rated institutions and listed exchanges. NOTE 6. REINSURANCE UNUM, through its life insurance subsidiaries, is involved in both the cession and assumption of reinsurance with other companies. Risks are reinsured with other companies to reduce UNUM's exposure to large losses and permit recovery of a portion of direct losses. UNUM remains liable to the insured for the payment of policy benefits if the reinsurers cannot meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Deferred policy acquisition costs, premiums and expenses are stated net of reinsurance ceded to other companies. Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts," which eliminated the practice by insurance enterprises of reporting assets and liabilities relating to reinsured contracts net of the effects of reinsurance. The standard required prepaid reinsurance premiums and reinsurance receivables, for amounts to be recovered, to be reported as assets. It also prescribed conditions required for a contract with a reinsurer to be accounted for as reinsurance and defined accounting standards for short-duration and long-duration reinsurance contracts. As permitted, consolidated financial statements prior to adoption have not been restated. The effect of the adoption on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was an increase in other assets of $80.0 million and a corresponding increase in future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim expenses. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 6. REINSURANCE (continued) The effect of reinsurance on premiums earned and written for the years ended December 31, 1994, and 1993, was as follows:
1994 1993 -------------------- -------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Earned Written Earned Written ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Direct $2,674.2 $2,702.7 $2,331.5 $2,335.6 Assumed 170.7 170.9 192.6 196.2 Ceded (112.5) (112.6) (50.0) (50.5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Premiums $2,732.4 $2,761.0 $2,474.1 $2,481.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the years ended December 31, 1994, and 1993, recoveries recognized under reinsurance agreements reduced benefits to policyholders by $53.3 million and $28.9 million, respectively. Reinsurance premiums ceded and assumed were $51.5 million and $136.2 million, respectively, for 1992. NOTE 7. BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES In the fourth quarter of 1994, UNUM recorded pretax charges totaling $14.4 million, or $0.13 per share, which were reflected as operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Of this total, the Individual Disability segment recorded $12.3 million related to the restructuring of the individual disability business and resulting consolidation of home office operations in UNUM America, which was comprised of $7.1 million for severance costs for 150 field and 150 home office employees and $5.2 million for exit costs of certain leased facilities and equipment, expiring through 1998. The remaining $2.1 million, recorded in the Employee Benefits segment, was for termination benefits for approximately 100 employees related to the acceleration of organizational changes within UNUM America. All employee related costs are expected to be paid by the end of 1995. During 1992, UNUM released the restructuring reserve remaining for the costs of withdrawal and reassignment of employees associated with the 401(k) business in excess of amounts incurred, since actual costs were less than expected, which resulted in a pretax gain of $5.3 million. The gain associated with the release of this restructuring reserve reduced operating expenses in the 1992 Consolidated Statement of Income. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLANS UNUM has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all domestic employees, excluding employees of Colonial Companies, Inc., and Duncanson & Holt, Inc. The plan provides benefits based on the employee's years of service and compensation during the highest five consecutive years out of the last ten years of employment. UNUM funds the plan in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Plan assets consist primarily of group annuity contracts and include approximately 224,392 shares of UNUM Corporation common stock. Net pension cost included the following components:
Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost - benefits earned during the year $ 9.2 $ 8.6 $ 7.5 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 11.6 10.9 9.4 Actual return on plan assets 3.3 (16.5) (14.5) Net amortization and deferral (16.5) 5.2 4.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net pension cost $ 7.6 $ 8.2 $ 6.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The funded status of the plan and amounts recognized in UNUM's Consolidated Balance Sheets, as determined by the plan's actuaries, were as follows:
December 31, -------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligation: Vested benefit obligation $ 96.2 $ 102.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated benefit obligation $ 99.1 $ 104.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $(141.9) $(147.6) Plan assets at fair value 153.5 156.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Projected benefit obligation less than plan assets 11.6 9.1 Unrecognized net gain (26.2) (21.6) Unrecognized prior service cost (3.3) (6.1) Unamortized net obligation 2.7 3.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accrued pension cost $ (15.2) $ (15.5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued) PENSION PLANS (Continued) The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were 8.25% and 5.20%, respectively, at December 31, 1994, and 7.25% and 4.70%, respectively, at December 31, 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9.0% in 1994 and 8.25% in 1993 and 1992. Prior year service costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over expected employment periods for active employees. UNUM also administers certain supplemental retirement plans for eligible employees and officers and certain other pension plans. The cost of these plans was not significant for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS UNUM has several retirement savings and profit sharing plans for substantially all full-time and part-time employees who work 1,000 hours a year and have been employed for at least one year. Dependent upon which plan the employee participates in, eligible employees may contribute primarily up to 10% of their annual salary, and UNUM matches a portion of each employee's contribution up to 6% of the employee's bi-weekly compensation. Participants may become 100% vested immediately upon becoming eligible to participate, or incrementally over a five year period. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, expense for these plans amounted to $8.4 million, $8.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS UNUM provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and covered dependents. Substantially all domestic employees of UNUM may become eligible for these benefits if they meet minimum age and service requirements, if they are eligible for retirement benefits and if they agree to contribute a portion of the cost. UNUM has the right to modify or terminate these benefits. The underlying plans are not currently funded. Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," which changed the method for recognition of the cost of these benefits from a cash basis to an accrual basis over the years in which the employees render the related services. UNUM elected to immediately recognize the FAS 106 liability at January 1, 1993, of $48.8 million as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which decreased net income by $32.1 million, or $0.40 per share, during 1993. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued) POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS (Continued) Postretirement benefits expense included the following components:
Year Ended December 31, ----------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 3.8 $ 3.4 Interest cost 4.4 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Postretirement benefits expense $ 8.2 $ 7.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following represents the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefits obligation as determined by the plans' actuaries:
December 31, -------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retirees $21.3 $19.6 Active employees fully eligible 4.5 6.5 Other active participants 38.9 29.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefits obligation 64.7 55.8 Unrecognized other amounts (1.0) 1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accrued postretirement benefits cost $63.7 $57.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under UNUM's plans, the cost of covered health care benefits is assumed to increase 10.00% and 10.75% for retirees less than 65 years old, and 7.50% and 8.25% for retirees 65 years and older for 1995. These rates are assumed to decrease incrementally to 5.50% and 6.25% by 2001, and remain at that level thereafter. The weighted average discount rates used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefits obligation were 8.00% and 8.25%, at December 31, 1994, and 7.25% and 7.50%, at December 31, 1993. The rates of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefits obligation were 5.2% and 4.7%, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At December 31, 1994, a 1% increase in the trend rate for health care costs would increase the accumulated postretirement benefits obligation by $13.4 million and postretirement benefits expense by $1.8 million. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9. OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN The 1990 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan") provides for granting of restricted shares of UNUM Corporation common stock to key officers. The Incentive Plan also provides for granting of options to officers, non-employee directors of UNUM Corporation and key employees, to purchase UNUM Corporation common stock over ten years at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan was 6,800,000 in 1994 and 1993, and 3,500,000 in 1992. At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, 2,511,145 shares, 3,316,734 shares, and 1,006,684 shares, respectively, were available for grant under the Incentive Plan. The restriction period for each restricted stock award under the Incentive Plan is in excess of three years, with the restrictions lapsing as a result of the achievement of prescribed financial performance objectives during each three year period, with the exception of 10,000 shares of restricted stock granted in 1994 on which restrictions will lapse on January 6, 1998, provided the grantee remains continuously in the employ of UNUM. Plan participants are entitled to cash dividends and voting rights on their respective shares. In 1994, restrictions lapsed on 80,800 shares granted for the 1991 - 1993 performance period. All other restricted stock shares issued remained subject to restrictions. The market value of the restricted shares issued under the Incentive Plan has been recorded as deferred compensation and is included as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 1987 Executive Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan") provided for granting to officers and key employees options to purchase UNUM Corporation common stock over ten years at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options outstanding under the Option Plan are included in the summary of stock options. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9. OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS (Continued) LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN (Continued) Beginning in 1991, certain officers were granted limited stock appreciation rights ("LSARs") in tandem with their outstanding options. LSARs afford the optionee the right to receive payment upon a change in control as defined in the plans equal to the higher of the excess of the highest price per share paid in connection with such change in control or the fair market value per share, over the option price per share. As an underlying stock option is exercised, the LSARs are automatically canceled. At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, there were 590,275 LSARs, 556,500 LSARs, and 685,550 LSARs outstanding, respectively. The following is a summary of stock options and restricted stock information:

UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9. OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS (Continued) LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN (Continued) In connection with the March 26, 1993, merger with Colonial Companies, Inc. ("Colonial"), outstanding options to acquire shares of Colonial Class B common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of UNUM common stock, and are included in the preceding summary of stock options. Pursuant to the merger, no further options will be granted under the Colonial stock option plans. THE 1998 GOALS STOCK OPTION PLAN The 1998 Goals Stock Option Plan ("1998 Option Plan") was introduced in January 1995. The 1998 Option Plan provides for granting to all eligible employees up to 150 options to purchase UNUM Corporation common stock at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. The options will vest to the employee in January 2004; however, if UNUM achieves its 1998 goals, vesting will be accelerated to early 1999. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLANS UNUM has several annual incentive plans for certain employees and executive officers, which provide additional compensation based on achievement of predetermined annual corporate and affiliate financial and non-financial goals. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, expense for these plans was $7.5 million, $27.9 million and $24.6 million, respectively. NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which changed the method for calculating and reporting deferred income taxes in the financial statements from the deferred method to the liability method. The liability method of accounting for income taxes requires that deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period be determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Under this method, income tax will increase or decrease in the same period in which a change in tax rate is enacted. The cumulative effect of this accounting change amounted to a $20.0 million increase in net income, or $0.25 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1993. On August 10, 1993, legislation was enacted to increase the federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. The tax rate increase resulted in a charge to net income totaling $11.4 million, or $0.15 per share, which included $3.6 million, or $0.05 per share, related to 1993 pretax income, and a $7.8 million, or $0.10 per share, adjustment to the deferred income tax liability. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES (Continued) A reconciliation of income taxes computed by applying the federal income tax rate to income before income taxes and the consolidated income tax expense charged to operations follows:
Year Ended December 31, ----------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax at federal statutory rate (35% for 1994 and 1993, 34% for 1992) $ 69.5 $161.1 $135.5 Tax-exempt income (32.0) (29.4) (31.8) Prior years' taxes -- (2.0) (2.0) State income tax 2.2 3.9 3.7 Tax on foreign operations -- 0.1 0.1 Adjustment to deferred tax liability due to tax rate increase -- 7.8 -- Other 4.2 6.8 1.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income taxes $ 43.9 $148.3 $107.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred income tax liabilities and assets were comprised of the following:

UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES (Continued) Deferred income taxes relating to cumulative net unrealized gains on available for sale securities were $27.1 million, $79.4 million and $57.4 million at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. At December 31, 1994, $5.0 million of the $27.1 million deferred income taxes was reflected in retained earnings, while the remaining $22.1 million was netted against the unrealized gains component of stockholders' equity. As of December 31, 1994, deferred U.S. income taxes have not been provided on the accumulated earnings of UNUM's foreign subsidiaries. These earnings would become subject to U.S. tax if remitted to UNUM Corporation. Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984 ("1984 Act"), half the excess of the tax basis gain from operations of a life insurance company over its taxable investment income was currently taxable. The other half was set aside in a Policyholders Surplus Account, together with certain special life insurance company deductions. The cumulative amount in the Policyholders Surplus Account as of December 31, 1983, was frozen by the 1984 Act and amounted to $31.8 million at December 31, 1994. Any direct or indirect distributions from this account would be taxed at current tax rates; however, no provision has been made for related taxes. If the amount set aside in this account were taxed at the current rate at December 31, 1994, for all life insurance subsidiaries, the tax would have amounted to $11.1 million. UNUM's Consolidated Statements of Income for 1994, 1993 and 1992, included the following amounts of foreign income and related income tax expense:
Year Ended December 31, ------------------------ (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign income $24.2 $ 20.9 $32.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income tax expense (credit): Current $ 0.7 $(12.5) $ 1.6 Deferred 9.7 20.2 10.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $10.4 $ 7.7 $12.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNUM subsidiaries had operating loss carryforwards totaling $16.5 million and alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit carryforwards totaling $45.3 million as of December 31, 1994. Substantially all of the operating loss carryforwards relate to foreign operations and can be carried forward indefinitely. The AMT credits can also be carried forward indefinitely. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 11. NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable consisted of the following at December 31, 1994, and 1993:

At December 31, 1994, UNUM Corporation had a $500 million committed revolving credit facility which expires on October 1, 1999. UNUM's commercial paper program is supported by the revolving credit facility and is available for general liquidity needs, capital expansion, acquisitions or stock repurchase. The committed revolving credit facility contains certain covenants which, among other provisions, require maintenance of certain levels of stockholders' equity and limits on level of debt. The commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 1994, and 1993, had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.34% and 3.41%, respectively. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 1995-$0; 1996-$16.2 million; 1997-$48.2 million; 1998-$29.8 million; 1999-$21.4 million; thereafter-$66.5 million. On February 28, 1995, UNUM borrowed $100 million under the revolving credit facility, which was infused into UNUM America in exchange for surplus debentures. Repayment of principal and interest on the surplus debentures is subject to state insurance regulatory approval. NOTE 12. CAPITAL STOCK In September 1993, UNUM announced the resumption of a program to repurchase its common stock pursuant to an existing Board of Directors' resolution. On February 11, 1994, UNUM's Board of Directors voted to expand UNUM's authorization to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares, bringing the total number of shares authorized for repurchase to 44.0 million shares. Since the resumption of the stock repurchase program, UNUM has acquired approximately 7.6 million shares of its common stock through December 31, 1994, in the open market at an aggregate cost of $375.8 million. No shares were acquired in the open market during 1992 or 1991. At December 31, 1994, approximately 2.7 million shares remained authorized for repurchase. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12. CAPITAL STOCK (Continued) Under the Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and Executive Stock Option Plan and the plans of Colonial Companies, Inc. (see Note 9 "Option and Incentive Plans"), 329,579 shares, 687,825 shares, and 894,747 shares were issued in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. NOTE 13. PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS On March 13, 1992, UNUM's Board of Directors ordered redemption of the 1988 Rights Agreement and adopted a new Shareholder Rights Plan. Shareholders of record on March 23, 1992, received $0.05 for every two shares of common stock held, which was distributed April 2, 1992. The total amount of the redemption was $1.7 million. As a result of the adoption of a new Shareholder Rights Plan, a dividend distribution was declared of one Right for each share of outstanding Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 1992. Each Right under certain specific circumstances entitles the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $150. The Rights become exercisable at a specified time after (1) a person or group acquires 10% or more of UNUM's Common Stock or (2) a tender or exchange offer for 10% or more of UNUM's Common Stock. The Rights expire at the close of business on March 13, 2002, unless earlier redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances at a price of $0.01 per Right. NOTE 14. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS UNUM is subject to various state insurance regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available from its United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries without prior approval. Under current law, during 1995 approximately $81.3 million will be available for payment of dividends to UNUM Corporation without state insurance regulatory approval. Dividends in excess of this amount may only be paid with state insurance regulatory approval. The aggregate statutory capital and surplus of the United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries of UNUM Corporation was approximately $840.1 million and $953.9 million, at December 31, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The aggregate statutory net income of UNUM Corporation's United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries was approximately $70.4 million, $216.0 million and $154.1 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. State insurance regulatory authorities prescribe statutory accounting practices that differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles. The significant differences relate to deferred acquisition costs, deferred income taxes, non-admitted asset balances, required investment risk reserves and reserve calculation assumptions. UNUM Corporation also has the ability to draw a dividend of approximately $30 million from its United Kingdom based affiliate, UNUM Limited, subject to certain U.S. tax consequences. UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 15. LITIGATION In the normal course of its business operations, UNUM is involved in litigation from time to time with claimants, beneficiaries and others, and a number of lawsuits were pending at December 31, 1994. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated operating results of UNUM. NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION UNUM reports its operations principally in six business segments: Employee Benefits, Related Businesses, Colonial Companies, Individual Disability, Retirement Security and Other Operations. Investment income and net realized investment gains are allocated to the segments based on designation of ownership of assets identified to the segments. Operating expenses are allocated to the segments based on direct association with a product whenever possible. If, however, the expense cannot be readily associated with a particular product, the costs are allocated based on ratios of the relative time spent, extent of usage or varying volume of work performed for each segment. The Employee Benefits segment includes group long term disability, group life and other employee benefits products, including short term disability, accidental death and dismemberment and dental insurance. The Related Businesses segment includes UNUM Limited in the United Kingdom, Commercial Life Insurance Company, and reinsurance operations including Duncanson & Holt, Inc. The Colonial Companies segment includes Colonial Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries, which offer payroll-deducted, voluntary employee benefits to employees at their worksites. The Individual Disability segment includes disability income products. The Retirement Security segment includes tax sheltered annuities, long term care insurance and lifestyle security protection products. The Other Operations segment includes individual life insurance business of UNUM Life Insurance Company of America, group medical operations, guaranteed investment contracts, deposit administration accounts, and 401(k) plans, all of which are no longer actively marketed by UNUM. Corporate includes transactions which are generally non-insurance related and expenses incurred to effect the March 26, 1993, merger of UNUM and Colonial.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Directors and Stockholders UNUM Corporation We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedules of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries listed in Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K as of and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 1994 and 1993 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the 1994 and 1993 financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein. As discussed in Notes 3, 8 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt securities in 1994 and its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions, and accounting for income taxes in 1993. /s/ COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

EX-10.8 3 EXHIBIT 10.8 EXHIBIT 10.8 COLONIAL LIFE & ACCIDENT INSURANCE CO. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES 1) Provide meaningful incentive geared to the achievement of specific Colonial and UNUM business goals. 2) Maintain a highly competitive total pay opportunity that will support the attraction and retention of outstanding performers for key positions. 3) Encourage an environment of shared vision and collaboration between UNUM Corporation and Colonial, as well as promote teamwork within Colonial. PLAN ADMINISTRATION The Colonial Board of Directors (hereafter referred to as "The Board") is responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Board may elect to delegate Plan responsibilities to a committee. All decisions made by The Board regarding Plan design, participation, interpretation and payouts are final. ELIGIBILITY All regular full-time and regular part-time employees who are not participating in another incentive or commission program may be eligible if they meet the following criteria: 1) Are in a position at salary grade 18 or above, and 2) Are employed on or before October 1 of the Plan Year and are still employed at the end of the Plan Year, except in cases of death, disability or retirement, which are discussed in the "Termination of Employment" section. The Plan Year is defined as January 1 to December 31. Participation in the Plan is not automatic. Individual participants will be recommended by senior management and approved by The Board, generally based on their ability to directly and significantly impact the continued success of Colonial and UNUM. The Board has the discretion to initiate or discontinue participation of any individual at any time for any reason. COMPONENTS The Plan is based on a qualitative and quantitative assessment of both financial and business goals of Colonial and UNUM Corporation. For determining payouts, the components are weighted as follows: Colonial Performance 60% UNUM Corporation Performance 40% DETERMINATION OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES Performance measures are established for each Plan Year as follows: COLONIAL COMPONENT: In consultation with UNUM Corporation's CEO, Colonial's senior management will make a recommendation to The Board on appropriate performance measures for the Plan year. ENTERPRISE COMPONENT: Determination of UNUM Enterprise performance measures is the responsibility of the UNUM Corporation Board of Directors, in consultation with the CEO. DETERMINATION OF TARGET AWARDS UNUM Corporation's CEO will make a recommendation to The Board on target payouts for Colonial's senior officers. Colonial's senior management, in consultation with UNUM Corporation's CEO, will make recommendations to The Board on target payouts for other plan participants. PAYOUTS Payouts are at the discretion of The Board. The Board will accept the determination of the UNUM Corporation Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) as to the amount, if any, of payout for the Enterprise component of the Plan. Payouts will be determined by assessing both the achievement of the financial goal(s) and progress against other business goals established at the beginning of the Plan Year. Colonial's senior management will review progress for the Plan Year and make a recommendation to UNUM Corporation's CEO on payout level, if any. The Board may elect to modify or disallow payouts for any reason at any time. Senior management may elect to recommend an adjustment in payout for any participant based on individual performance. Payouts will be made as soon as practical after year-end results are determined, certified by Colonial's outside auditors, and approved by The Board. Payouts will be a percentage of base salary earned between January 1 and December 31 of the Plan Year. For purposes of this Plan, base salary includes base pay, shift pay and geographic differential pay. Base salary excludes overtime, all bonuses and awards, and any other compensation that is not salary related. In the event of transfers between affiliates, payouts will be based on earnings received while at each Affiliate and will reflect the performance of the respective organization with which the employee was associated. Taxes will be withheld from payouts in accordance with tax regulations and withholding allowances (IRS form W-4) as they exist on the day of the distribution. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT In the event that an employee separates from the Company by reason of death, disability or retirement during the Plan Year, the employee or the employee's estate will be eligible for a payout, provided the employee was on active employment status at the beginning of the Plan Year. Any payout would be based on base salary earnings while on active employment status during the Plan Year. For purposes of this Plan, active employment status is defined as being actively at work or on sick leave, short-term disability or approved leave of absence. If an employee separates from the Company during the Plan Year for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, any payout for that Plan Year is forfeited, unless otherwise determined by The Board. CHANGES IN PARTICIPATION/PAYOUT STATUS If an employee has a job change or reclassification during the Plan Year that would make the employee eligible for a different target payout level, the payout level for that year will be based on the new level if the position change occurs before July 1. If such a change occurs after July 1 of the Plan Year, any payout would be prorated for the time under each payout level. Employees who become ineligible for the Annual Incentive Plan because of position changes would become eligible for the Success Sharing Plan. Any payout for that Plan Year would be prorated for the time spent in each plan. In cases of prorated payouts because of position changes, the new participation status will take effect the first full month in the new position. PLAN AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS AND TERMINATION The Board has the right to modify, amend, or terminate the Plan, with or without notice. The Board also has the right to discontinue (either temporarily or permanently) the distribution of incentive awards. Award payments, if any, are not a vested right of any individual but subject to the determination of The Board in its sole discretion. 1994 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN PAYOUT GUIDELINES COLONIAL COMPONENT 60% OF PAYOUT ------------------------------------------------- The Colonial component consists of two factors: a) a specific financial goal, and b) progress against other business goals. BOTH FACTORS will be assessed in determining any Plan payout. Payout is at the full discretion of The Board. The financial goals for 1994 are based on operating earnings, defined as after- tax corporate earnings excluding realized gains and losses on investments. For purposes of the Plan, the goals are as follows: THRESHOLD: a. 40.8 million operating earnings b. Reach business goals TARGET: a. 44.0 million operating earnings b. Exceed business goals MAXIMUM: NOT ESTABLISHED ENTERPRISE COMPONENT 40% OF PAYOUT ------------------------------------------------------- The Enterprise component of the Plan consists of a qualitative assessment of Corporate performance, which will be based upon an EVALUATION of BOTH the financial performance (Net EPS, defined as UNUM Corporation's net income after realized capital gains and losses divided by the average number of shares outstanding) and strategic goals (progress toward 1998 Goals, Corporate Marketing Strategy, Information Technology Strategy, development of Core Competencies, and long term positioning of the business). The evaluation of financial performance will consider not only the LEVEL of results but also HOW the results were attained. The Targeted Net EPS will be $4.60, and the Performance range will be between a threshold of $4.25 and a maximum of $5.20. In addition to this evaluation of financial results, final payout will consider the overall performance of UNUM Corporation in key strategic goals. Payout guidelines are as follows, expressed as a percentage of base salary earned:
Grade Grade Grade Chairman/ 18 - 20 21-22 23-24 President ------- ----- ----- ---------- THRESHOLD 5% 7.5% 10% 17.5% TARGET 10% 15% 20% 35% MAXIMUM 20% 30% 40% 70%
A Plan participant's payout may be adjusted based on individual performance, at the recommendation of senior management and approval of The Board. The preceding should be considered as general guidelines. Determination of payouts rests solely with The Board at its full discretion. The Board may adjust payments upward or downward depending on Enterprise or Colonial performance.

ARTICLE II THE CREDITS SECTION 2.01. COMMITMENTS TO LEND. During the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans by such Bank at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment. Each Borrowing under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount available in accordance with Section 3.02(b)) and shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay, or to the extent permitted by Section 2.11, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time prior to the Termination Date under this Section. SECTION 2.02. NOTICE OF COMMITTED BORROWING. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice (a "Notice of Committed Borrowing") not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing, (y) the second Domestic Business Day before each CD Borrowing and (z) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying: (a) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Domestic 16 Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, (b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (c) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be CD Loans, Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, and (d) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. SECTION 2.03. MONEY MARKET BORROWINGS. (a) THE MONEY MARKET OPTION. In addition to Committed Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.01, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section, request the Banks at any time prior to the Termination Date to make offers to make Money Market Loans to the Borrower.

(New York City time) on (x) the fifth Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Domestic Business Day next preceding the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying: (i) the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of a LIBOR Auction or a Domestic Business Day in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which shall be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, 17 (iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and (iv) whether the Money Market Quotes requested are to set forth a Money Market Margin or a Money Market Absolute Rate. The Borrower may request offers to make Money Market Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Money Market Quote Request. No Money Market Quote Request shall be given within five Euro-Dollar Business Days (or such other number of days as the Borrower and the Agent may agree) of any other Money Market Quote Request. (c) INVITATION FOR MONEY MARKET QUOTES. Promptly upon receipt of a Money Market Quote Request, the Agent shall send to the Banks by telex or facsimile transmission an Invitation for Money Market Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Bank to submit Money Market Quotes offering to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section. (d) SUBMISSION AND CONTENTS OF MONEY MARKET QUOTES. (i) Each Bank may submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer or offers to make Money Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes.

(New York City time) on the fourth Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:15 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective); PROVIDED that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Agent (or any affiliate of the Agent) in the capacity of a Bank may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Agent or such affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than (x) one hour prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 15 minutes prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction. Subject to Articles III and VI, any Money 18 Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower. (ii) Each Money Market Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify: (A) the proposed date of Borrowing, (B) the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Bank, (x) must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Bank may be accepted, (C) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (the "Money Market Margin") offered for each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate, (D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the "Money Market Absolute Rate") offered for each such Money Market Loan, and (E) the identity of the quoting Bank. A Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Bank with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Money Market Quotes. (iii) Any Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it: (A) is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit D hereto or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii); (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language; 19 (C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Money Market Quotes; or (D) arrives after the time set forth in subsection (d)(i). (e) NOTICE TO BORROWER. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (x) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The Agent's notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted. (f) ACCEPTANCE AND NOTICE BY BORROWER. Not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a "Notice of Money Market Borrowing") shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part; PROVIDED that: (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request, 20 (ii) the principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and (iv) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. (g) ALLOCATION BY AGENT. If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Agent of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. SECTION 2.04. NOTICE TO BANKS; FUNDING OF LOANS. (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. (b) Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address. (c) If any Bank makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Bank, such Bank shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount 21 being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in subsection (b), or remitted by the Borrower to the Agent as provided in Section 2.12, as the case may be. (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.04 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. SECTION 2.05. NOTES. (a) The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank's Loans. (b) Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent, request that its Loans of a particular type be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant type. Each reference in this Agreement to the "Note" of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require. (c) Upon receipt of each Bank's Note pursuant to Section 3.01(b), the Agent shall mail such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date, amount, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and prior to any transfer of its Note shall endorse 22 on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; PROVIDED that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. SECTION 2.06. MATURITY OF LOANS. Each Loan included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing. SECTION 2.07. INTEREST RATES. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. (b) Each CD Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the applicable Adjusted CD Rate; PROVIDED that if any CD Loan or any portion thereof shall, as a result of clause (2)(b) of the definition of Interest Period, have an Interest Period of less than 30 days, such portion shall bear interest during such Interest Period at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans during such period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than 90 days, at intervals of 90 days after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any CD Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted CD Rate applicable to such Loan and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. The "Adjusted CD Rate" applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum determined pursuant to the following formula: 23 [ CDBR ]* ACDR = [ ---------- ] + AR [ 1.00 - DRP ] ACDR = Adjusted CD Rate CDBR = CD Base Rate DRP = Domestic Reserve Percentage AR = Assessment Rate __________ * The amount in brackets being rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1% The "CD Base Rate" applicable to any Interest Period is the rate of interest determined by the Agent to be the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the prevailing rates per annum bid at 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) (or as soon thereafter as practicable) on the first day of such Interest Period by two or more New York certificate of deposit dealers of recognized standing for the purchase at face value from each CD Reference Bank of its certificates of deposit in an amount comparable to the principal amount of the CD Loan of such CD Reference Bank to which such Interest Period applies and having a maturity comparable to such Interest Period. "Domestic Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including without limitation any basic, supplemental or emergency reserves) for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion dollars in respect of new non-personal time deposits in dollars in New York City having a maturity comparable to the related Interest Period and in an amount of $100,000 or more. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Domestic Reserve Percentage. "Assessment Rate" means for any day the annual assessment rate in effect on such day which is payable by a member of the Bank Insurance Fund classified as adequately capitalized and within supervisory subgroup "A" (or a comparable successor assessment risk classification) within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Section 327.3(e) (or any successor provision) to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any successor) for such Corporation's (or such successor's) insuring time deposits at offices of such institution in the 24 United States. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Assessment Rate. (c) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage. The "London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any Interest Period means the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in dollars are offered to each of the Euro-Dollar Reference Banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Loan of such Euro-Dollar Reference Bank to which such Interest Period is to apply and for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period. "Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion dollars in respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United States residents). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage. (d) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for 25 each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan and (ii) the Applicable Margin plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than six months as the Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due to each of the Euro-Dollar Reference Banks are offered to such Euro-Dollar Reference Bank in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day). (e) Subject to Section 8.01(a), each Money Market LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with Section 2.07(c) as if the related Money Market LIBOR Borrowing were a Committed Euro-Dollar Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Money Market Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Money Market Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day. (f) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 26 (g) Each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to furnish quotations to the Agent as contemplated by this Section. If any Reference Bank does not furnish a timely quotation, the Agent shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of the quotation or quotations furnished by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks or, if none of such quotations is available on a timely basis, the provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply. (h) The "Applicable Margin" with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or CD Loan at any date is the applicable percentage amount set forth in the table below based on the Utilization and Status on such day: Level I Level II Level III Level IV Status Status Status Status ------- -------- --------- -------- If Utilization is equal to or less than 50%: Euro-Dollar Loans 0.2000% 0.2500% 0.2750% 0.2750% CD Loans 0.3250% 0.3750% 0.4000% 0.4000% If Utilization is greater than 50%: Euro-Dollar Loans 0.2750% 0.3000% 0.3250% 0.3750% CD Loans 0.4000% 0.4250% 0.4500% 0.5000% SECTION 2.08. FEES. (a) FACILITY FEE. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks ratably a facility fee at the rate of (i) 0.1000% per annum for each day on which Level I Status shall exist, (ii) 0.1250% per annum for each day on which Level II Status shall exist, (iii) 0.1500% per annum for each day on which Level III Status shall exist and (iv) 0.2000% per annum for each day on which Level IV Status shall exist. Such facility fee shall accrue for each day (i) from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety), on the aggregate amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) and (ii) from and including the Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety) to but excluding the date the Loans shall be repaid in their 27 entirety, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans. (b) PAYMENTS. Accrued fees under this Section shall be payable quarterly on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 and upon the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety). SECTION 2.09. OPTIONAL TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS.

The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Domestic Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Money Market Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(e) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may, in any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets (not otherwise permitted under this Section 5.05 to be disposed of) which, together with all other assets (not otherwise permitted under this Section 5.05 to be disposed of) theretofore so disposed of in such fiscal quarter and in the immediately preceding three consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower, have a book value not exceeding in the aggregate 20% of Total Assets as at the first day of such period of three consecutive fiscal quarters so long as (i) any such conveyance, sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, together with all such conveyances, sales, leases, transfers or other dispositions since the first day of such period of three consecutive fiscal quarters, will not, in the Borrower's Board of Directors' good faith judgment, have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial or other condition of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and (ii) after giving effect to such conveyance, sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, no Default exists and the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Funded Indebtedness under Section 5.09;

(c) the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than those covered by clause (a) or (b) above) 48 for 30 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Agent at the request of any Bank;

or, during any period of twelve consecutive calendar months, individuals who were directors of the Borrower on the first day of such period shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower; then, and in every such event, the Agent shall, (i) if requested by Banks having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by notice to the Borrower terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate and (ii) if requested by Banks holding Notes evidencing more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Loans, by notice to the 50 Borrower declare the Notes (together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and the Notes shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower;

SECTION 7.03. ACTION BY AGENT. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. SECTION 7.04. CONSULTATION WITH EXPERTS. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 51 Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. SECTION 7.05. LIABILITY OF AGENT. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.

SECTION 7.07. CREDIT DECISION. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 7.08. SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower, and such notice shall be effective on the date specified therein (unless otherwise stated therein) whether or not a successor Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment as provided below. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrower. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent. SECTION 7.09. AGENT'S FEE. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agent. ARTICLE VIII CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES SECTION 8.01. BASIS FOR DETERMINING INTEREST RATE INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Borrowing: (a) the Agent is advised by the Reference Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or (b) in the case of a Committed Borrowing, Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Agent that the Adjusted CD Rate 53 or the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate, as the case may be, as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended. Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Committed Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Money Market LIBOR Borrowing, the Money Market LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day. SECTION 8.02. ILLEGALITY. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the 54 then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro-Dollar Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan. SECTION 8.03. INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN. (a) If on or after (x) the date hereof, in the case of any Committed Loan or any obligation to make Committed Loans or (y) the date of the related Money Market Quote, in the case of any Money Market Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Fixed Rate Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Fixed Rate Loans or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank's principal executive office or Applicable Lending Office is located); or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding (A) with respect to any CD Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Domestic Reserve Percentage and (B) with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment (excluding, with respect to any CD Loan, any such requirement reflected in an applicable Assessment Rate) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank 55 (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. (b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction. (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and, to the extent deemed 56 feasible by such Bank, setting forth the calculation thereof) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. SECTION 8.04. BASE RATE LOANS SUBSTITUTED FOR AFFECTED FIXED RATE LOANS. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist: (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed Rate Loans of the other Banks), and (b) after each of its CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 9.01. NOTICES. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopier, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower or the Agent, at its address or telecopy number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address or telecopy number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified in this Section and is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 57 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; PROVIDED that notices to the Agent under Article II or Article VIII shall not be effective until received. SECTION 9.02. NO WAIVERS. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. SECTION 9.03. EXPENSES; DOCUMENTARY TAXES; INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including fees and disbursements of Davis Polk & Wardwell, special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Notes. (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; PROVIDED that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 58 SECTION 9.04. SHARING OF SET-OFFS. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; PROVIDED that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Notes. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 9.05. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); PROVIDED that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks (and the Borrower and, if and to the extent provided above, the Agent), (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, except as provided below, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment or (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. SECTION 9.06. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure 59 to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks, and no Bank may grant participating interests in its Commitment or any of its Loans or assign all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes in violation of subsections (b) and (c) below, taking into account the applicability of the last sentence of such subsection (b). (b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; PROVIDED that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement and subject to subsection (e) below, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of the Borrower and the Agent; PROVIDED that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank, no such consent shall be required; PROVIDED FURTHER that such 60 assignment may, but need not, include rights of the transferor Bank in respect of outstanding Money Market Loans; and PROVIDED FURTHER that such assignment shall be in a principal amount not less than $10,000,000. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $2,000. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 2.15. (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. (e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank's rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist. SECTION 9.07. COLLATERAL. Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement. SECTION 9.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. This Agreement and each Note shall be 61 governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. SECTION 9.09. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. SECTION 9.10. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Agent and each Bank agree that they will maintain the confidentiality of any material information provided under, or in connection with, this Agreement by or on behalf of the Borrower that has been identified by the Borrower as confidential or that the Agent or such Bank knows, or has reason to know, is confidential (hereinafter collectively called "Confidential Information"), subject to the Agent's and each Bank's (a) obligation to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable laws and regulations or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (b) right to disclose any such Confidential Information to its bank examiners, auditors, counsel and other professional advisors and to other Banks, (c) right to disclose any such Confidential Information in connection with any litigation or dispute involving one or more of the Banks or the Agent and the Borrower, PROVIDED that the Banks so involved or the Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrower with reasonable notice of the disclosure of such Confidential Information solely to enable the Borrower to attempt to obtain a court order limiting the disclosure thereof outside of the scope of such litigation or dispute but only if such notice is not prejudicial to such Banks or the Agent and (d) right to provide such information to participants, prospective participants or prospective assignees pursuant to Section 9.06 if such participant, prospective participant or prospective assignee agrees in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms substantially similar to those of this Section 9.10 62 as if it were a "Bank" party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information supplied to a Bank, participant, prospective participant or prospective assignee under this Agreement shall cease to be Confidential Information if it is or becomes known to such Person by other than unauthorized disclosure, or if it becomes a matter of public knowledge. 63 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
