EXHIBIT 10.41 AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment (the "Amendment") to that certain Employment Agreement by and between Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. and Salvatore J. Rinaldi entered into as of October 16, 2009 (the "Agreement") is entered into as of the 21^th day of February, 2013, by and between Flagstar Bankcorp, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Salvatore J. Rinaldi (the "Executive").

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the Effective Date (as defined below) Executive was serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and Flagstar Bank, FSB (the “Bank”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes it is in the best interests of the Company and the Bank to enter into this Agreement with the Executive in order to assure continuity of management of the Company and the Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Board has approved and authorized the execution of this Amendment to take effect as stated in Section 1 hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements of the Parties herein, it is mutually AGREED as follows:

The titles Executive Vice President and Chief of Staff and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, if any, when referencing the Executive shall be deleted throughout the Agreement in their entirety and the title Senior Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer shall be substituted in place thereof.

“Following the Stub Period, the initial term of Executive's employment by the Company under this Agreement shall commence on January 1. 2010 and end on July 1, 2013, unless earlier terminated as herein provided (the “Initial Term”) upon written notice of the terminating Party to the other Party (the “Notice Period”).”

At the conclusion of the first sentence, the following sentence is inserted: “The Company and the Executive expect that the Executive's duties and responsibilities as Senior Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer shall focus primarily on providing such assistance to the Chief Executive Officer as the Chief Executive Officer may reasonably request in the following areas: advice regarding the administration of the Company's management information systems and on-going Project Management Office matters;

Following subsection (d) Business Expenses, subsection (e) Retention Payment as follows, shall be inserted:

“(e) Retention Payment. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.05(e), retention payment(s) in the amounts set forth below shall be payable to the Executive; provided (i) in the determination of the Chief Executive

Officer the Executive has provided in all material respects the assistance contemplated by Section 1.04 and (ii) the Executive is actively employed by the Company on the following dates (the “Retention Payment(s)”):

On April 1, 2013, a Retention Payment of $25,000.00, covering the period March 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013; and

On June 14, 2013, a Retention Payment of $125,000.00, covering the period April 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013.

As a precondition to the payment of each of the Retention Payments as aforementioned, Executive agrees to execute the Release of Claims Agreement against the Company and the Bank, in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. If Executive qualifies for the Retention Payment(s) described herein, such Retention Payment(s) are subject to customary deductions for applicable taxes and will be paid to Executive on the Bank's next regularly scheduled pay day following the later of (1) the date of the applicable Retention Payment, and (2) the fifth (5^th) business day following the expiration of the Revocation Period as defined in the Release of Claims Agreement.

The parties believe that the provisions of this Section 1.05(e) are in compliance with the Troubled Asset Relief Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, including the Interim Final Rule and any other rules and regulations thereunder, as amended (the "TARP Requirements"), Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the FDIC regulations promulgated thereunder codified at 12 C.F.R. Part 359 (the “Golden Parachute Restrictions”) and other applicable law, as presently in effect, if and to the extent that such requirements apply. For so long as the Bank and the Company are subject to the TARP Requirements and Golden Parachute Restrictions, the provisions of this Section 1.05(e) are subject to and shall be, to the fullest extent possible, interpreted to be consistent with the TARP Requirements and Golden Parachute Restrictions, which terms control over the terms of this Agreement in the event of any conflict between the TARP Requirements or the Golden Parachute Restrictions and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment, award or benefit under this Section 1.05(e) vest or be settled, paid or accrued, if any such vesting, settlement, payment or accrual would be in violation of the TARP Requirements, the Golden Parachute Restrictions, or other applicable law. In the event of any such violation, the parties will cooperate in good faith to endeavor to meet the TARP Requirements, the Golden Parachute Restrictions and other applicable law in a manner which preserves to the greatest extent possible the intent and purposes of this Section 1.05(e). If any governmental authority asserts that, or questions whether, any payment, award or benefit to Executive, paid or accrued, violates any of the TARP Requirements, the Golden Parachute Restrictions or other applicable law, the Bank shall provide reasonable assistance to Executive to rebut such assertion or to address such question, provided, however, neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to participate in any adversarial proceeding (including any civil or administrative matter) or to take any action that the Bank's Board of Directors determines in the exercise of its fiduciary duty is not in the Bank's best interest. Without limiting the scope of this paragraph, Executive acknowledges and agrees that if any Retention Payment covers a period that also is a “TARP Period” (as that term is defined in the TARP Standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance in the U.S. Treasury's interim final rule codified at 31 C.F.R. § 30.1), the Retention Payment shall be reduced pro rata for each day of the retention period that also is part of the TARP Period.

The parties believe that the provisions of this Section 1.05(e) are in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A"), as presently in effect, if and to the extent that such requirements apply. In the event that any of the payment obligations hereunder will be considered by the Internal Revenue Service not to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, the parties will cooperate in good faith to endeavor to meet these requirements in a manner which preserves to the greatest extent possible the economic benefits intended to be conferred on Executive under this Section 1.05(e). However, to the extent such economic benefits exceed the limits of the law, the Bank shall not be required to make any such payment which exceeds such legal limit.
