RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of May, 2008,
between AMERICAN NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a Texas insurance corporation (the “Company”), and

 _____ 

(the “Employee”).

1. Award. Pursuant to the AMERICAN NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY 1999 STOCK AND
INCENTIVE PLAN (as amended, the “Plan”), as of the date of this Agreement and upon execution of
this Agreement, [insert number of shares] shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of the Company’s common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, shall be issued as hereinafter provided in the Employee’s name
subject to certain restrictions thereon. The Restricted Shares shall be issued upon acceptance
hereof by the Employee and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement. The Employee
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, and agrees that this award of Restricted Shares shall
be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, including future amendments thereto, if
any, pursuant to the terms thereof.

2. Restricted Shares. The Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued
and agrees with respect thereto as follows:

(a) Forfeiture Restrictions. The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned,
pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent
then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (as hereinafter defined), and in the event of
termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever (whether by the
Employee or the Company, voluntary or involuntary, or with or without cause), the Employee shall,
for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares to the extent then subject to
the Forfeiture Restrictions. Upon any such forfeiture of any of the Restricted Shares, the Company
will have the Certificate representing such shares registered in the name of the Company. The
prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the
Company upon termination of employment are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.”
The foregoing notwithstanding, Employee may transfer the Restricted Shares to any member (a “Family
Member”) of Employee’s family (within the meaning of Section 318(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended), to any trust benefiting one or more Family Members, to any partnership whose
partners include one or more Family Members or to a charitable organization. The Forfeiture
Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any such transferee of Restricted
Shares.

 

 

 

(b) Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions. The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to
the 100% of the Restricted Shares as of May 1, 2018 provided that Employee remains continuously
employed by the Company until such date. In addition, if Employee retires from employment with the
Company and the Company consents to such retirement as a retirement for purposes of this Agreement,
the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to 100% of the Restricted Shares on the date of the
Employee’s retirement. The Forfeiture Restrictions shall also lapse as
to 100% of the Restricted Shares on (i) the date the Employee’s employment with the Company is
terminated by reason of death or (ii) the date the Company determines, in good faith, that, by
reason of a physical or mental condition which has existed for thirty days, the Employee is no
longer able to perform the material duties of the position he had with the Company immediately
prior to inception of such condition.

(c) Certificates and Transfer Instructions. A certificate evidencing the Restricted
Shares shall be issued by the Company in the Employee’s name, pursuant to which the Employee shall
have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares,
including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive dividends (provided, however,
that dividends paid in shares of the Company’s stock shall be subject to the Forfeiture
Restrictions). The certificate shall be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the Company or
to such other depository as may be designated by the Company as a depository for safekeeping until
the forfeiture of such Restricted Shares occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse pursuant to
the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Upon the parties’ execution of this Agreement, the
Employee shall deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted
Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions
without forfeiture, the Company shall cause a new certificate or certificates to be issued without
legend (except for any legend required pursuant to applicable securities laws or any other
agreement to which the Employee is a party) in the name of the Employee in exchange for the
certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares. At all times while the Restricted Shares are subject
to the Forfeiture Restrictions, the Company shall have the right to issue to its Stock transfer
agent such stop transfer instructions as it determines are appropriate or necessary to protect its
rights under the Plan and this Agreement.

(d) Corporate Acts. The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in any
way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or
consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities, the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of
its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding. The prohibitions of Section 2(a)
hereof shall not apply to the transfer of Restricted Shares pursuant to a plan of reorganization of
the Company, but the stock, securities or other property received in exchange therefor shall also
become subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions and provisions governing the lapsing of such
Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to the original Restricted Shares for all purposes of this
Agreement and the certificates representing such stock, securities or other property shall be
legended to show such restrictions.

3. Withholding of Tax. To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted Shares or the
lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in compensation income to the Employee for federal or
state income tax purposes, the Employee shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or
lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money as the Company may require to meet its obligation
under applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if the Employee fails to do so, the Company is
authorized to withhold from any remuneration then or thereafter payable to the Employee any tax
required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income.

4. Status of Stock. The Employee understands that at the time of the execution of
this Agreement the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), or any state securities law, and that the Company does not currently intend to
effect any such registration. If requested to do so by the Company, the Employee will execute and
deliver to the Company in writing an agreement containing such provisions as the Company may
require to assure compliance with applicable securities laws.

The Employee agrees that the Restricted Shares are being acquired by the Employee for
investment without a view to distribution, within the meaning of the Act, and shall not be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration
statement for the shares under the Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws.
The Employee also agrees that the Restricted Shares will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in
any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws.

In addition, the Employee agrees that (i) the certificates representing the Restricted Shares
may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to reflect the Forfeiture
Restrictions and to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company may refuse
to register the transfer of the Restricted Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if
such proposed transfer would constitute a violation of the Forfeiture Restrictions or, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, any applicable securities law, and (iii) the
Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the
transfer of the Restricted Shares.

5. Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee shall be
considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as the Employee remains an employee of
either the Company, a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company or any successor corporation.
Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause
of such termination, shall be determined by the Company, and its determination shall be final.

6. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall
be sufficient if in writing. In the case of the Employee, such notices or communications shall be
effectively delivered if hand delivered to the Employee at his principal place of employment or if
sent by registered or certified mail to the Employee at the last address he has filed with the
Company. In the case of the Company, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered
if sent by registered or certified mail to the Company at its principal executive offices.

the exercise of its sole and exclusive discretion, to correct any defect or supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in this Agreement or in the Plan in the manner and to the
extent it shall deem appropriate. The determinations and actions of the Board of Directors
shall be conclusive.

8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under the Employee.

with, the laws of the State of Texas.

Exhibit 10.5

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st
day of May, 2008, between AMERICAN NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a Texas insurance corporation (the
“Company”), and                      (the “Officer”).

1. Award. Pursuant to the AMERICAN NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY 1999 STOCK AND
INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”), as of the date of this Agreement, [insert number of SARS awarded]
stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) are granted as hereinafter provided in the Officer’s name. The
Officer acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, and agrees that this award of SARS shall be
subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and of the Plan, including future
amendments thereto, if any, pursuant to the terms thereof.

2. SAR Payments.

(a) SAR Spread. Each SAR represents the contractual and conditional right of the
Officer to receive payment from the Company as of the date of exercise thereof of an amount (the
“Spread”) equal in value to the excess, if any, of the then fair market value of one share of the
Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Stock”), over $116.48. Fair market value shall
be calculated as the average between the reported high and low (or closing bid and asked prices if
no shares are traded) on the date of exercise.

(b) Exercise of SARS. The Officer may exercise the SARS based on the number of full
years of employment from the date of grant hereof to the date of such exercise, in accordance with
the following schedule:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Percentage of SARS	 
	Number of Full Years	 	That May Be Exercised	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Less than 1 year
	 	 	0	%
	1 year
	 	 	20	%
	2 years
	 	An additional 20%
	3 years
	 	An additional 20%
	4 years
	 	An additional 20%
	5 years
	 	An additional 20%

 

 

 

Once a percentage of the Officer’s SARS becomes exercisable pursuant to the foregoing schedule, the
Officer shall have five years to exercise such percentage of the Officer’s SARS (the “Exercise
Period”) and upon the expiration of such five-year Exercise Period, such percentage of SARS, to the
extent then unexercised, shall terminate and permanently cease to be
exercisable. Provided, however, SARS may be exercised only while the Officer is an officer
of the Company and will terminate and cease to be exercisable should the Officer no longer be an
officer of the Company, except that:

(i) If the Officer dies while an officer of the Company, the five-year Exercise Period
shall be reduced and the Officer’s estate, or the person who acquires the SARS by will or
the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of the Officer (the
“Officer Representative”), shall have one year following the date of the Officer’s death to
exercise a percentage of the Officer’s SARS equal to the sum of (i) the percentage of the
SARS the Officer was entitled to exercise hereunder as of the date of the Officer’s death
plus (ii) the pro rata portion based upon the period included between the Officer’s date of
death and the preceding May 1, of any additional 20% of the SARS which would have become
exercisable had the Officer survived until the following May 1. SARS not exercised by the
Officer Representative within such one-year period shall terminate and no longer be
exercisable.

(ii) If the Officer ceases to be an officer of the Company by reason of retirement at
or after attaining the age of 65, the five-year Exercise Period shall be reduced and the
Officer (or the Officer Representative in the event of the Officer’s death) shall have one
year following the date of such retirement to exercise a percentage of the Officer’s SARS
equal to the sum of (i) the percentage of SARS the Officer was entitled to exercise
hereunder as of the date of the Officer’s retirement plus (ii) the pro rata portion, if any,
based upon the period included between the Officer’s date of retirement and the preceding
May 1, of any additional 20% of the SARS which would have become exercisable had the Officer
remained an employee until the following May 1.

(c) Exercise and Payment. SARS can be exercised by written notice to the Secretary of
the Company specifying the number of SARS to be exercised. Such exercise date shall be the date
such written notice of exercise is actually received by the Company’s Secretary. Upon exercise of
SARS, the Company shall pay the then Spread amount with respect to such exercised SARS in cash in
full. Upon such exercise and payment, the SARS which were exercised shall terminate.

(d) Corporate Acts. The existence of the SARS shall not affect in any way the right
or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or
other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the
Company, any issue of debt or equity securities, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or
any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any
other corporate act or proceeding. Upon the occurrence of any such corporate act, the SARS may be
adjusted as contemplated by Article XII of the Plan.

3. Withholding of Tax. To the extent that exercise of the SARS results in
compensation income to the Officer for federal or state income tax purposes, the Officer shall
deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of
money as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations,
and, if the Officer fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any
remuneration then or thereafter payable to the Officer any tax required to be withheld by
reason of such resulting compensation income.

4. Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, the Officer shall be
considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as the Officer remains an officer of

of such termination, shall be determined by the Company, and its determination shall be final.

5. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall
be sufficient if in writing. In the case of the Officer, such notices or communications shall be
effectively delivered if hand delivered to the Officer at his principal place of employment or if
sent by registered or certified mail to the Officer at the last address he has filed with the
Company. In the case of the Company, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered
if hand delivered to the Secretary of the Company or if sent by registered or certified mail to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices.

6. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under the Officer.

7. Policies and Procedures. The Officer acknowledges receipt of an American National

such Policies and Procedures in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

power to construe the Plan and this Agreement and to prescribe such rules and regulations relating
thereto as it may deem advisable. The Board of Directors of the Company also has the authority, in
