 RECITALS 

A. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted the 2005 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan, including any and all
amendments to date (the “Plan”). 
 B. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Committee”). 
 C. The Plan provides for the granting to selected employees and other persons
furnishing services to the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as the Committee may from time to time determine, of restricted stock which shall be shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”). 

D. Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee has determined that it is to the advantage and best interest of the Company and its stockholders
to grant an award of restricted stock to the Restricted Stockholder covering «shares» («number») Shares of restricted stock as an inducement to remain in the service of the Company and as an incentive for increased effort
during such service, and has approved the execution of this Agreement between the Company and the Restricted Stockholder. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Grant. The Company grants to the Restricted Stockholder an award of restricted stock on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, consisting of an aggregate of «shares»
(«number») Shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock”). 
 2. Vesting and
Forfeiture. 
 (a) Restricted Period. The Restricted Stock shall be restricted during a period (the
“Restricted Period”) beginning on the Grant Date and expiring on the date(s) that the Shares vest (the “Vesting Date(s)”). Subject to the forfeiture and early vesting provisions referenced in Section 2(b) below, {INSERT ONE
OF THE FOLLOWING THREE VESTING ALTERNATIVES: 
 [the Vesting Dates are, for the first of four equal installments of the
Restricted Stock Shares, the six-month anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Initial Vesting Date”), and for each of the remaining three installments of such Shares, respectively, the first, second and third anniversaries of the Initial
Vesting Date.], OR 

  
 1 








 [the Vesting Date is the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.], OR 

[the Vesting Date(s) is/are
                     SPECIFY ALTERNATIVE APPROVED FOR THIS GRANT.]} 
 (b) Forfeiture or Early Vesting upon Retirement, Death, Disability or Other Termination of Service. During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock may be subject to forfeiture or early vesting
as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	Retirement. If the Restricted Stockholder retires but continues to render services to Unitrin as a director, consultant or advisor pursuant to a written
agreement, all Shares of Restricted Stock held by the Restricted Stockholder will remain outstanding while such services continue. At the time such post-retirement services end (other than as a result of death or disability), or upon retirement if
the Restricted Stockholder does not continue to render services to Unitrin as a director, consultant or advisor pursuant to a written agreement, all unvested Shares held by the Restricted Stockholder will be forfeited to Unitrin.


  

	 	(ii)	Death or Disability. Upon the termination of the Restricted Stockholder’s employment or service agreement due to death or disability, all restrictions on
the Shares of Restricted Stock which are then held by the Restricted Stockholder will lapse and the Shares will become fully vested. 

  

	 	(iii)	Other Termination. Upon the termination of the Restricted Stockholder’s employment (or service as a consultant or advisor) for reasons other than death,
disability or retirement, including the divestiture by the Company of a subsidiary or affiliate which employs (or utilizes such services of) the Restricted Stockholder, all unvested Shares of Restricted Stock held by the Restricted Stockholder will
be forfeited to Unitrin. 

 3. Delivery of Restricted Stock; Stockholder Rights. The Shares of
Restricted Stock will be issued and delivered to a book entry account maintained by the Company’s transfer agent. Thereafter, subject to the forfeiture provisions referenced in Section 2(b) above, the Restricted Stockholder shall be
entitled to the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote and receive dividends (subject to applicable tax withholding obligations) during the Restricted Period
on the same basis as all other issued and outstanding Shares.

 4. Fair Market Value of Common Stock. The fair market value (“Fair Market
Value”) of a Share of Common Stock shall be determined for purposes of this Agreement by reference to the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Shares of Common
Stock are primarily traded) for the Grant Date or Vesting Date, as applicable, or if no prices are reported for that day, the last preceding day on which such prices are reported (or, if for any reason no such price is available, in such other
manner as the Committee in its sole discretion may deem appropriate to reflect the fair market value thereof). 
 5.
Withholding of Taxes. 
 (a) The Restricted Stockholder acknowledges that the vesting of Restricted Stock Shares
will generally be a taxable event. The Company will instruct the transfer agent to deduct from the Restricted Stockholder’s book entry account whole Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount determined by the Company to satisfy any
applicable minimum statutory withholding or other tax obligations that may arise upon such vesting, and the Restricted Stockholder shall remit to the Company in cash any and all applicable withholding taxes resulting from fractional shares. The
Company shall withhold from any dividends paid during the Restricted Period only the amounts the Company is required to withhold to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements with respect to such dividends based on minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including any payroll taxes. 
 (b) The provisions of paragraph 5
(a) will not apply if a Restricted Stockholder chooses to make an Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) election. Upon such an election, the Restricted Stockholder shall remit to the company in cash any and all taxes which the Company may be
required to withhold with respect to such election. 
 6. No Assignment or Other Transfer. During the Restricted
Period, neither this Agreement, the Restricted Stock or any rights and privileges granted hereby may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of the law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, no rights or privileges granted hereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred during the Restricted Period to the spouse or former spouse of the Restricted Stockholder
pursuant to any divorce proceedings, settlement or judgment. Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock or any other rights or privileges granted hereby contrary to the
provisions hereof shall be null and void and of no force or effect. 
 7. Certain Adjustments. The provisions of
Articles 4.4 and 12 of the Plan relating to certain adjustments in the case of stock splits, reorganizations, equity restructurings, change of control events and similar matters described therein are hereby

provisions of any retirement plan or employee welfare benefit plan or program of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, subject in each case, to the terms and conditions of any such plan or program. 

9. Not an Employment or Service Contract. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as an agreement by the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates, expressed or implied, to employ or contract for the services of the Restricted Stockholder, to restrict the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to discharge the Restricted Stockholder or
cease contracting for the Restricted Stockholder’s services or to modify, extend or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever, the terms of any employment agreement or contract for services which may exist between the Restricted Stockholder and
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
