 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
 1.
Grant of Shares. Assurant, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Grantee named on page 1 (“Grantee”), subject to the restrictions and the other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in this award agreement
(this “Agreement”), the number of shares indicated on page 1 of the Company’s $0.01 par value common stock (the “Shares”). 
 2.
Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan. 
 3.
Restrictions. The Shares are subject to each of the following restrictions. “Restricted Shares” mean those Shares that are subject to the restrictions imposed hereunder which restrictions have not then expired or terminated.
Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered. Upon Grantee’s Termination of Employment, Grantee shall forfeit all of Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to the
Restricted Shares as of the date of the Termination of Employment (after giving effect to any lapsed restrictions under Section 4), and such Restricted Shares shall revert to the Company. The restrictions imposed under this Section shall apply
to all shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities issued with respect to Restricted Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in corporate
structure affecting the common stock of the Company. 
 4. Expiration and Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under Section 3
will expire on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”): 
 (a) As to the numbers or percentages of the Shares specified on page 1, on the respective dates specified on page 1; or 
 (b) As to all of the Restricted Shares, upon a Change of Control; or 
 (c) Upon the date of Grantee’s
death or Disability, the number of Restricted Shares determined by (i) multiplying the aggregate number of Shares originally subject to this Agreement as specified on page 1 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed
calendar months from the Grant Date to the date of Grantee’s death or Disability, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of full months during the Restricted Period, and (ii) subtracting from such amount that number
of Shares which otherwise have become vested prior to the date of Grantee’s death or Disability, as the case may be. For computing purposes, fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share. 
 (d) In connection with the Retirement of a Participant, to the extent permitted by the terms of the Plan, the Committee, or the Chief Executive Officer
with regard to non-Section 16 officers, may at any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, the foregoing restrictions, and in connection therewith may impose such terms and conditions as it deems necessary or
advisable, including requiring that the Participant enter into a release of claims and an agreement containing restrictive covenants. 
 5. Delivery of
Shares. Any certificate issued in respect of the Shares shall be registered in the name of Grantee as of the Grant Date and may be held by the Company during the Restricted Period. If a certificate for Restricted Shares is issued, such
certificate shall be registered in the name of Grantee and shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws): 
 “This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer)
contained in a Restricted Stock Agreement between the registered owner of the shares represented hereby and Assurant, Inc. Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Agreement, copies of which
are on file in the offices of Assurant, Inc.” 
 Stock certificates for the Shares, without the above legend, may be delivered to Grantee or
Grantee’s designee upon request after the expiration of the Restricted Period. If the Shares are issued in uncertificated form, during the Restricted Period the Company shall instruct the transfer agent not to permit the transfer of the
Restricted Shares until the expiration of the Restricted Period. 
 6. Voting and Dividend Rights. Grantee, as beneficial owner of the Shares, shall
have full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Restricted Period. If Grantee forfeits any rights he may have under this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3 and 4, Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a
shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares or any interest therein, and Grantee shall no longer be entitled to receive dividends on such stock. In the event that for any reason Grantee shall have received dividends upon such stock after such
forfeiture, Grantee shall repay to the Company an amount equal to such dividends. 
 7. No Right of Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall
confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate. 
 8. Payment of Taxes. 
 (a) Upon issuance of the Shares hereunder, Grantee may make an election to be taxed under Section 83(b) of the Code. To effect such election,
Grantee must file an appropriate election with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after award of the Shares and otherwise in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. 
 (b) In accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes, at such time as any amount related to the Shares becomes includable in
Grantee’s gross income for tax purposes (the “Tax Date”), the Company will withhold a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount required by law to be withheld with respect to
federal, state and local taxes of any kind. Alternatively, if Grantee provides prior written notice to the Company, Grantee may, no later than the Tax Date, pay to the Company such amounts required by law to be withheld or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of such amounts. Such written notice shall be directed to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee at the address and in the form specified by the Secretary from time to time, at least
thirty (30) days prior to the Tax Date, unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditioned on such withholding or other payment or arrangements, and the
Company, and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee. 
 9. Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any
actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative. 
 10. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. 
 11. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. 
 12. Notice. Notices and communications under this Agreement must be in writing
and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company must be addressed to:
