ARTICLE 1

INTRODUCTION

Effective as of January 1, 1994, Fortis, Inc. established the Fortis, Inc. Executive Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan.

The Plan was most recently amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2001 (the “Prior Plan”). Effective as of February 4, 2004, the Company was renamed Assurant, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Prior Plan was renamed the Assurant Executive Pension and 401(k) Plan.

The Prior Plan contained provisions related to both pension and 401(k) benefits. Effective as of January 1, 2009, the Prior Plan is amended and restated to separate the provisions relating to pension and 401(k) benefits into two separate deferred compensation plans. This document sets forth the amended and restated provisions related to the pension benefits and is also amended to comply with Section 409A and for certain other purposes. Amounts earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 under the Prior Plan shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan, and amounts earned or vested under this Plan or the Prior Plan after December 31, 2004 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to help the Company and its Affiliates retain employees of outstanding ability and to enable eligible employees to receive enhanced retirement benefits.

This document serves as both the Plan document and the Plan’s summary plan description. Certain important terms in this Plan are capitalized and have the meanings set forth in Article 11, unless the context indicates otherwise. The masculine gender, where appearing in the Plan, shall be deemed to include the feminine gender, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

ARTICLE 2

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

2.01 Eligibility Requirements. An Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan on the later of (i) the date the Employee becomes a Participant in the Pension Plan; or (ii) the first day of the Plan Year in which he has Executive Compensation in excess of the Code Section 401(a)(17) limits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Employee was a Participant in the ABIG Plan as of December 31, 2000, did not elect to have his accrued benefit determined after December 31, 2000 as a pension equity benefit under the Pension Plan, and was not rehired by an Employer after December 31, 2000, then such Employee shall not participate in this Plan.

1

2.02 Character of Plan as a “Top Hat” Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the benefit of management and highly compensated employees, and the Committee shall be authorized to terminate the future participation of any Employee if it determines that continued participation by such Employee would jeopardize the Plan’s purpose.

ARTICLE 3

PENSION BENEFITS

3.01 General Description. A Participant’s Pension Benefit will equal the additional benefit that the Participant would have been entitled to receive under the Pension Plan if the Pension Plan took into account a Participant’s Executive Compensation. The precise method for calculating a Participant’s Pension Benefit under this Plan is described below.

3.02 Method for Calculating Pension Benefits. A Participant’s Pension Benefit under this Plan will be the amount determined under (a) below, minus the sum of the amounts under (b), (c), (d) and (e) below, as applicable, where:

(a) equals the lump sum benefit the Participant would have been entitled to receive under the Pension Plan as of his Separation from Service if the Pension Plan took into account his Executive Compensation and calculated without regard to any limitations imposed by Code Section 415, and by disregarding the $15,000 limitation on lump sum payments contained in the Pension Plan;

(b) equals the lump sum benefit that the Participant is entitled to receive under the Pension Plan as of his Separation from Service (regardless of when and in what form the benefit under the Pension Plan is actually paid), calculated by disregarding the $15,000 limitation on lump sum payments contained in the Pension Plan;

(c) equals the lump sum value of any benefit that a Participant who was formerly employed by Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company (“MBL”) is entitled to receive as of his Separation from Service under the terms of the Mutual Benefit Life Defined Benefit Excess Benefit Plan (revised effective as of July 1, 1991) or any other excess benefit plan ever maintained by MBL, with the lump sum offset to be the greater of (i) present value determined using the same actuarial assumptions as those used to calculate a lump sum payment under the Pension Plan; or (ii) the lump sum actually payable under the Mutual Benefit Life Defined Benefit Excess Benefit Plan or any other excess benefit plan ever maintained by MBL (as applicable);

2

(d) equals the lump sum value of any benefit that a Participant who was formerly employed by John Alden Life Insurance Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) (“John Alden”) is entitled to receive as of his Separation from Service under the terms of the John Alden Senior Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (“John Alden SESRP”), or any other excess benefit plan ever maintained by John Alden; with the lump sum offset to be the greater of (i) present value determined using the same actuarial assumptions as those used to calculate a lump sum payment under the Pension Plan; or (ii) the lump sum actually payable under the John Alden SESRP or any other excess benefit plan ever maintained by John Alden (as applicable); and

(e) equals the lump sum value of any benefit that a Participant who was formerly employed by American Bankers Insurance Group, Inc. (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) (“ABIG”) is entitled to receive as his Separation from Service under the terms of the American Bankers Insurance Group, Inc. Non-Qualified Supplemental Benefit Plan.

ARTICLE 4

VESTING

4.01 Three-Year Vesting for Pension Equity Participants. A Pension Equity Plan Participant will become 100% vested in his Pension Benefits when he (a) completes three (3) years of vesting service under the Pension Plan, or (b) terminates employment with an Employer on account of Retirement, Disability or death. Any Pension Equity Plan Participant who terminates employment for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death before earning three (3) years of vesting service under the Pension Plan will not be entitled to receive any Pension Benefits under this Plan.

4.02 Five -Year Vesting for Fortis Prior Retirement Formula Participants. A Fortis Prior Retirement Formula Participant will become 100% vested in his Pension Benefits when he (a) completes five (5) years of vesting service under the Pension Plan, or (b) terminates employment with an Employer on account of Retirement, Disability or death. Any Fortis Prior Retirement Formula Participant who terminates employment for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death before earning five (5) years of vesting service under the Pension Plan will not be entitled to receive any Pension Benefits under this Plan.

4.03 Transferees. A Participant who transfers from one Employer to another Employer will not be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment for purposes of this Plan.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

5.01 Form of Payment. A Participant will receive benefits under the Plan in the form of a lump sum payment.

5.02 Timing of Payment. A Participant will receive benefits under the Plan as soon as is administratively feasible, but no later than 90 days, after the Participant’s Separation from Service. Payment of a Specified Employee’s benefit that was earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 (together with any earnings thereon) shall be paid as soon as is administratively feasible, but no later than 90 days after the Specified Employee’s Separation from Service. Payment of a Specified Employee’s benefit that was earned and vested after December 31, 2004 (together with any earnings thereon) may not occur before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to a Participant hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7).

5.03 Payments in Event of Participant’s Death. If a Participant terminates employment with an Employer on account of his death, benefits under the Plan will be paid to his Beneficiary as soon as administratively feasible, but no later than 90 days, after the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to a Participant hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7).

5.04 Payment to Minors and Incapacitated Persons. If any amount is payable to a minor or to any other person who is incapable of making a proper disposition (in the Committee’s judgment), the Plan will make a payment for the benefit of the individual in one of the following ways, as determined in Committee’s sole discretion:

(a) by payment to the individual’s legal representative;

(b) by payment directly to the individual; or

(c) by payment in discharge of bills incurred by or for the benefit of the individual.

The Plan will make these payments as directed by the Committee without requiring intervention on the part of any guardian or like fiduciary, and without any obligation to monitor the use of the payment. Any payment made under this Plan will completely discharge the Plan’s obligation to the Participant and his Beneficiaries.

4

5.05 Application for Benefits. The Committee may require a Participant or Beneficiary to complete and file certain forms before he or she may receive benefits under the Plan. The Committee may rely upon all information the Participant provides, including the Participant’s current mailing address. Any person interested in receiving a distribution under the Plan must keep the Committee informed of his current mailing address.

5.06 Reinstatement of Service for Re-hires. If a former Participant is re-hired and again becomes a Participant, then such Participant’s benefit accrual and vesting service earned prior to such re-hire shall be reinstated only to the extent that such service is reinstated under the Pension Plan. If reinstatement of benefit accrual service occurs, then the Participant’s benefit under Section 3.02 shall also be reduced by the actuarial equivalent value of the benefit previously paid to such Participant, with actuarial equivalence to be determined under the terms of the Pension Plan.

ARTICLE 6

FUNDING OF PLAN

The Pension Benefits provided under this Plan will be paid from the Company’s general assets. To the extent that any Participant acquires the right to receive payments from the Plan, this right will be no greater than that of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. Participants and their Beneficiaries will not have any preference or security interest in the assets of the Company other than as a general unsecured creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may establish a trust to which it may contribute certain assets with respect to the Plan. Assets held in such trust will remain subject to claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency, as defined in the trust agreement.

ARTICLE 7

ARTICLE 8

The Committee reserves the right to modify, alter or amend the Plan, at any time and from time to time, with or without notice, except that any amendment that would significantly increase the Company’s liabilities for the Plan must be approved by the Executive Committee; further provided, that no amendment or termination of the Plan will (without the written consent of the Participant, if living, and if not, of his Beneficiary) adversely affect the amount of the benefit to which a Participant or his Beneficiary is entitled under the terms of the Plan as of the date of the amendment or termination.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.01 Headings. The headings and sub-headings in this Plan have been inserted for convenience only and should be ignored in construing its provisions.

9.02 Spendthrift Clause. None of the benefits, payments, proceeds or distributions under this Plan may be subject to the claim or legal process of a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s creditor(s); no Participant or Beneficiary (or their creditors) will have any right to alienate, commute, anticipate or assign any of the benefits, payments, proceeds or distributions under this Plan.

9.03 No Participant Contributions. No Employee contributions are required or permitted under this Plan.

9.04 Form of Payment. All benefit payments will be made in cash.

9.05 Withholding. The Committee will withhold from any payment any income or employment taxes required to be withheld under applicable federal, state or local law.

9.06 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

9.07 Distribution Timing. This Section shall take precedence over any other provision of the Plan to the contrary. No provision of this Plan shall be followed if following the provision would result in the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment from the Plan as would require immediate income tax to Participants based on the law in effect at the time the distribution is to be made, including Section 409A. In addition, a payment may be delayed after a designated payment date under the circumstances described in Section 409A, including payments

7

subject to Code Section 162(m), or payments that would violate federal securities or other applicable law. In such case, payment will be made at the earliest date on which the Committee reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.

ARTICLE 10

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

Any Participant, former Participant, Beneficiary or authorized representative (“Claimant”) may file a claim for benefits under the Plan by submitting a written statement to the Committee. The statement should describe the nature of the claim and request a determination of its validity under the terms of the Plan. Within ninety (90) days after the date the Committee receives such claim, the Committee will issue a ruling. If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, the Committee will send the Claimant written notice of the extension prior to the termination of the 90-day period. In no case, however, will the extension of time delay the Committee’s decision beyond 180 days after the Committee received the claim.

If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee will send the Claimant written notice. The notice will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and contain:

(1) The specific reason(s) for denial;

(2) Specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(3) A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

(4) An explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Participant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial of the claim upon appeal.

If a claim for benefits has been denied, a Claimant may appeal the denial by resubmitting a written statement to the Committee. The Claimant should request further review of the decision within sixty (60) days of the date the Claimant receives notice of a denial. The Claimant’s written appeal should set forth the reasons supporting the claim, the reasons such claim should not have been denied, and any other issues or comments which the Claimant deems appropriate with respect to the claim. If the Claimant so requests in writing, the Committee will make copies of the Plan documents pertinent to the claim available to the Claimant for examination.

8

Within sixty (60) days after the appeal is received, the Committee will notify the Claimant in writing of its final decision. If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, the Committee will send the Claimant written notice of the extension prior to the termination of the 60-day period. In no case, however, will the extension of time delay the Committee’s decision on such appeal request beyond 120 days following receipt of the actual request.

The Committee’s written notice of its decision on appeal will include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, with specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, and a statement that the Participant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Participant’s claim for benefits.

Any suit for benefits must be brought within one year after the date the Committee has made a final denial of a claim for benefits. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any suit for benefits must be brought within two years after, in the case of any lump-sum payment, the date on which the payment was made or for all other claims, the date on which the action complained of occurred.
