NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units.

Subject to the terms and vesting conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee a target award of 658,080 Restricted Stock Units (hereinafter, the “Target Award”) under the Plan.
2.
Vesting.

(a)General Vesting Terms. Except as set forth in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) below, the Grantee shall vest in a number of Restricted Stock Units based on the attainment of the TSR performance goals described on Schedule A as of the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), provided that the Grantee remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary through June 9, 2014 (the “Vesting Date”). The Performance Period is the period beginning on June 9, 2011 and ending on June 9, 2014. Except as specifically provided below in this Section 2, no Restricted Stock Units will vest for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, and in the event of a termination of the Grantee's employment prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee will forfeit to the Company all Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested as of the termination date. Except as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) below, if the TSR performance goals are not attained at the end of the Performance Period, the Restricted Stock Units will be immediately forfeited.

(b)Retirement.

(i)If the Grantee's employment terminates during the Performance Period on account of Retirement, the Grantee will not forfeit the Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement, and the Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest based on the attainment of the TSR performance goals described on Schedule A, except as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) below.
(ii)For purposes of this Grant Letter, “Retirement” shall mean the Grantee's separation from service without Cause, other than on account of death or Disability, following the Grantee's attainment of age 55 and completion of 5 years of service with the Company or a Subsidiary.

(iii)For purposes of this Grant Letter, “Cause” shall have the meaning given that term in the Grantee's Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of April 5, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”).






(c)Death or Disability. In the event of the Grantee's death or Disability (as defined below) during the Performance Period while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, the Grantee's Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest at the Target Award level on the date of the Grantee's death or Disability, as applicable. If, following the Grantee's termination of employment due to Retirement, the Grantee dies during the Performance Period, the Grantee's Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest at the Target Award level on the date of the Grantee's death. For purposes of this Grant Letter, the term Disability shall mean the Grantee is determined to have a medically determinable physical or mental disability that entitles the Grantee to receive long-term disability benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan, provided that such disability meets the conditions of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code.

(d)Change of Control.

(i)If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, the Restricted Stock Units will vest at the Target Award level on the Vesting Date, provided that, except as set forth in subsections (ii), (iv) and (v) below, the Grantee remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary through the Vesting Date. In no event shall vesting occur after the end of the Performance Period.

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the Performance Period, a Change of Control occurs and the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, or the Grantee terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), and the Grantee's date of termination of employment (or in the event of the Grantee's termination for Good Reason, the event giving rise to Good Reason) occurs during the period beginning on the date that is 90 days before the Change of Control and ending on the date that is one year following the Change of Control, the unvested Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest at the Target Award level as of the Grantee's date of termination of employment (or, if later, on the date of the Change of Control). In order to terminate employment for Good Reason under this Grant Letter, the Grantee must provide a written notice of termination with respect to termination for Good Reason to the Company within 90 days after the event constituting Good Reason has occurred. The Company shall have a period of 30 days in which it may correct the act, or the failure to act, that gave rise to the Good Reason event as set forth in the notice of termination. If the Company does not correct the act, or the failure to act, the Grantee must terminate employment for Good Reason within 30 days after the end of the cure period, in order for the termination to be considered a Good Reason termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Grantee have Good Reason for termination if a material diminution of the Grantee's authority, duties, or responsibilities occurs in connection with the Grantee's inability to perform his duties on account of illness or short-term or long-term disability.

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee's employment terminates on account of Retirement before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs during the Performance Period, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units will vest at the Target Award level on the Vesting Date (or on the Grantee's date of death, if earlier).

(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee's employment terminates on account of Retirement on or after a Change of Control, the Restricted Stock Units will vest at the Target Award level on the Grantee's Retirement date.

(v)For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Change of Control occur as a result of the Company's participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or any similar program of the United States, any of its states, or any of their respective political subdivisions, departments, agencies or instrumentalities.

3.

The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on its records for the Grantee and shall credit the Grantee's Restricted Stock Units to the bookkeeping account.
4.
Conversion of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, if the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with this Grant Letter, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units within 90 days after the Vesting Date.

(b)The vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid earlier than the Vesting Date in the following circumstances:

(i)If the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2(c) (the Grantee's death or Disability), the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the date of the Grantee's death or Disability, as applicable.





 
(ii)If a Change of Control occurs and the Grantee's employment terminates upon or within one year after the Change of Control in accordance with Section 2(d)(ii), the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the Grantee's termination of employment.

(iii)If a Change of Control occurs and the Grantee's employment terminates within 90 days prior to the Change of Control in accordance with Section 2(d)(ii), and the Grantee subsequently dies during the Performance Period, the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the date of the Grantee's death.

(iv)If the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2(d)(v) (Retirement on or after a Change of Control), the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the Grantee's Retirement date; provided that, if the Retirement date does not occur within one year after the Change of Control, payment will be made within 90 days after the Vesting Date.

(v)Notwithstanding subsections (ii) and (iv), if the Change of Control is not a “change in control event” under section 409A of the Code, and if required by section 409A of the Code, payment will not be made on the dates described in subsections (ii) and (iv) and, instead, will be made within 90 days after the Vesting Date.

(c)On the applicable payment date, each vested Restricted Stock Unit credited to the Grantee's account shall be settled in cash, subject to compliance with the six-month delay described in Section 16 below, if applicable. The cash payment shall be equal to the closing price of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the Vesting Date, termination date, date of Disability or date of death, whichever is the applicable date under this Section 4, subject to payment of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes as described in Section 12 below.

5.
Certain Corporate Changes.

If any change is made to the Common Stock (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or exchange of shares or any other change in capital structure made without receipt of consideration), then unless such event or change results in the termination of all the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Grant Letter, the Committee shall adjust, in an equitable manner and as provided in the Plan, the number and class of shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, the maximum number of shares for which the Restricted Stock Units may vest, and the share price or class of Common Stock for purposes of the TSR performance goals, as appropriate, to reflect the effect of such event or change in the Company's capital structure in such a way as to preserve the value of the Restricted Stock Units. Any adjustment that occurs under the terms of this Section 5 or the Plan will not change the timing or form of payment with respect to any Restricted Stock Units except in accordance with section 409A of the Code.
6.
Restrictive Covenants.

(a)During the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Affiliates, and during the period beginning on the date on which the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any reason and ending on the later of (i) 12 months after the employment termination date or (ii) the end of the Consulting Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement), if applicable (the “Restricted Period”), except as provided in subsection (i), the Grantee hereby agrees that he will not, without the Company's express written consent, engage (directly or indirectly) in any employment or business activity whose primary business involves a business in which the Company is then materially and actively engaged (for purposes of clarity, as of April 5, 2011, this would consist of providing mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance) (“Company Business”) within the United States of America; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply if the Company is no longer engaged in writing new business with respect to such Company Business, unless (x) the Company has taken material steps to actively pursue opportunities for writing new business with respect to the Company Business and (y) the Board determines in reasonable good faith that it expects the Company, during the Restricted Period, in fact to actively pursue such opportunities. The Board shall make such determination within 10 business days of notification by the Grantee that he proposes to engage in activity that would violate this Section 6(a) but for the proviso in the preceding sentence, it being understood that the Grantee shall be obligated to provide such notification. The Grantee further agrees that, given the nature of the Company Business, a nationwide geographic scope is appropriate and reasonable.






(b)For purposes of this Grant Letter, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the terms “Confidential Information” and “Trade Secrets” shall mean information that the Company or any of its Affiliates owns or possesses, that the Company or its Affiliates have developed at significant expense and effort, that they use or that is potentially useful in the business of the Company or its Affiliates, that the Company or its Affiliates treat as proprietary, private or confidential, and that is not generally known to the public. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Grantee's relationship with the Company is one of confidence and trust such that the Grantee has in the past been, and may in the future be, privy to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(c)During the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Affiliates, the Consulting Period, and the 12-month period following the later of the Grantee's employment termination date or the end of the Consulting Period, if applicable, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly through others, (i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to, for or of any other person or business entity, or (iii) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, or any consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates to change or terminate his or her relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, unless, in each case of (i) through (iii), more than three months shall have elapsed between the last day of such person's employment or service with the Company or any of its Affiliates and the first date of such solicitation or hiring or attempt to solicit or hire. If any employee, consultant or independent contractor is hired or solicited by any entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Grantee, such hiring or solicitation shall be conclusively presumed to be a violation of this Grant Letter; provided, however, that any hiring or solicitation pursuant to a general solicitation conducted by an entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Grantee, or by a headhunter employed by such entity, which does not involve the Grantee, shall not be a violation of this Section 6(c).

(d)During the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Affiliates and the Restricted Period, except as provided in subsection (i), the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee shall not, either directly or indirectly through others:
(i)solicit, divert, appropriate or do business with, or attempt to solicit, divert, appropriate or do business with, any customer for whom the Company or any of its Affiliates provided goods or services within 12 months prior to the later of the Grantee's employment termination date or the end of the Consulting Period (the “Termination Date”) or any actively sought prospective customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates for the purpose of providing such customer or actively sought prospective customer with services or products competitive with those offered by the Company or any of its Affiliates during the Grantee's employment or service with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or

(ii)encourage any customer for whom the Company or any of its Affiliates provided goods or services within 12 months prior to the Termination Date to reduce the level or amount of business such customer conducts with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(e)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Company and its Affiliates is highly competitive, that the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets have been developed by the Company at significant expense and effort, and that the restrictions contained in this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates.

(f)Because the Grantee's services are personal and unique and the Grantee has had and will continue to have access to and has become and will continue to become acquainted with Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, the parties to this Grant Letter acknowledge and agree that any breach by the Grantee of any of the covenants or agreements contained in Section 6 will result in irreparable injury to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, for which money damages could not adequately compensate such entity. Therefore, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right (in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity and in addition to the forfeiture requirements set forth in Section 6(g) below) to seek to enforce Section 6 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company or any of its Affiliates may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 6. The Grantee agrees that in any action in which the Company or any of its Affiliates seeks injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, the Grantee will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of Section 6 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. The Grantee irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal proceeding arising out of this paragraph may be brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such court. The Grantee also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers.






(g)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Grantee breaches any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 6:

(i)The Committee may in its discretion determine that the Grantee shall forfeit the outstanding Restricted Stock Units (without regard to whether the Restricted Stock Units have vested), and the outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall immediately terminate, and


(ii)The Committee may in its discretion require the Grantee to return to the Company any cash received upon conversion of the Restricted Stock Units under Section 4. The Committee shall exercise the right of recoupment provided in this Section 6(g)(ii) within 180 days after the Committee's discovery of the Grantee's breach of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 6.

(h)If any portion of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 6, or the application hereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the other portions of such covenants or agreements or the application thereof shall not be affected and shall be given full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions to the fullest extent possible. If any covenant or agreement in this Section 6 is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the scope thereof, then the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and limit the scope thereof, and the covenant or agreement shall then be enforceable in its reduced form. The covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Grant Letter.

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Grant Letter, Section 6(a) (regarding non-competition) and Section 6(d) (regarding non-solicitation of customers) shall not apply after the Grantee's termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates, if the Grantee's employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause. This subsection (i) shall not affect the Grantee's obligations with respect to non-competition or non-solicitation under any other agreement entered into with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

7.
No Stockholder Rights.

The Grantee has no voting rights, no rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents or other ownership rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units.  
8.
Retention Rights.

Neither the award of Restricted Stock Units, nor any other action taken with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate Grantee's employment or service at any time.
9.
Cancellation or Amendment.

This award may be terminated or amended by the Committee, in whole or in part, in accordance with the applicable terms of the Plan.

Schedule A
Performance Goals
1.
Calculation of TSR. Vesting will be based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR”), which means the Company's
TSR relative to the median TSR of the Peer Group (as defined in Section 2(c) below). At the end of the Performance Period, the TSR for the Company, and for each company in the Peer Group, shall be calculated by dividing the Closing Average Share Value (as defined below) by the Opening Average Share Value (as defined below).

(a)The term “Closing Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock, including Accumulated Shares, for the 20 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the 20 trading days ending on June 9, 2014), which shall be calculated as follows: (i) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during the 20-day period, (ii) multiply each closing price by the Accumulated Shares as of that trading date, and (iii) average the amounts so determined for the 20-day period.

(b)The term “Opening Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock, including Accumulated Shares, for the 20 trading days ending on the first day of the Performance Period (i.e., the 20 trading days ending on June 9, 2011), which shall be calculated as follows: (i) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading day during the 20-day period, (ii) multiply each closing price by the Accumulated Shares as of that trading date, and (ii) average the amounts so determined for the 20-day period.

(c)The term “Accumulated Shares” means, for a given trading day, the sum of (i) one share and (ii) a cumulative number of shares of the company's common stock purchased with dividends declared on a company's common stock, assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in the common stock of a company at the closing price on the ex-dividend date. The calculations under this Schedule A shall include ex-dividend dates between May 12, 2011 and the trading day.

2.
Vesting Based on Comparative TSR to the Median Peer Group TSR. The Restricted Stock Units will vest based
on the Company's TSR as compared to the median TSR of the companies in the Peer Group for the Performance Period (the “Median Peer Group TSR”), in accordance with the following:
Performance
(increments of +/- point differential)
Vesting
Maximum at 50% above Target Award
200%*
+1% TSR above Target Award
102%
Target Award: Median TSR of Peer Group
100%
-1% TSR below Target Award
97%
Threshold at -34% below Target Award
0%

*Subject to the limit set forth in paragraph 4 below.
(a)Subject to the limit set forth in Section 4 below, up to 200% of the Target Award of the Restricted Stock Units will vest based on how the Company's TSR ranks compared to the Median Peer Group TSR, as described herein and in the schedule above.

(i)In the event that the Company's TSR exceeds the Median Peer Group TSR, the Restricted Stock Units will vest at a 2% increase above the Target Award (up to 200% of the Target Award, subject to the limit set forth in Section 4), for every 1% by which the Company's TSR exceeds the Median Peer Group TSR.
  
(ii)If the Company's TSR is less than the Median Peer Group TSR, the Restricted Stock Units will vest below the Target Award, in an amount such that there is a 3% reduction for every 1% by which the Company's TSR is less than the Median Peer Group TSR. There is no vesting if the Company's TSR is less than 34% of the Median Peer Group TSR.
  
(iii)If the Company's TSR rank falls between the measuring points, the Company's TSR rank will be rounded to the nearest whole percentage point.






(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company's TSR is negative for the Performance Period, the Committee retains sole discretion to reduce the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest, including reduction to zero, without regard to the performance of the Company's TSR relative to the Median Peer Group TSR.

(b)The companies in the Peer Group will be determined on the first day of the Performance Period for purposes of the TSR calculation and will be changed only in accordance with Section 2(c) below. No company shall be added to the Peer Group during the Performance Period for purposes of the TSR calculation.

(c)The term “Peer Group ” means the PMI Group, Inc., MGIC Investment Corporation and the companies listed on the NASDAQ Financial Index as of the first day of the Performance Period (i.e., June 9, 2011) and will be subject to change as follows:

(i)In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a company in the Peer Group in which the company in the Peer Group is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain a company in the Peer Group. Any entity involved in the transaction that is not the surviving company shall no longer be a company in the Peer Group.

(ii)In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a company in the Peer Group, a “going private” transaction or other event involving a company in the Peer Group or the liquidation of a company in the Peer Group, in each case where the company in the Peer Group is not the surviving entity or is no longer publicly traded, the company shall no longer be a company in the Peer Group.

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a bankruptcy of a company in the Peer Group where the company in the Peer Group is not publicly traded at the end of the Performance Period, such company shall remain a company in the Peer Group but shall be deemed to have a TSR of negative 100% (-100%).

3.
General Vesting Terms. Any fractional Restricted Stock Unit resulting from the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units
in accordance with this Grant Letter shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that does not vest as of the end of the Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Period.

4.
Limitation on Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Restricted Stock Units that
vest pursuant to this Grant Letter exceed 730,300 shares, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes as described in Section 5 of the Grant Letter. If the number of shares calculated according to comparative TSR performance would exceed this limit, the maximum number of shares for which the Restricted Stock Units vest shall be reduced to 730,300 shares, subject to adjustment as described in Section 5 of the Grant Letter.
