Exhibit 10.2

INCORPORATED TERMS
DATED AS OF __________, 200_
TO
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

          The following are the “Incorporated Terms” referred to in the instrument entitled “Restricted Stock Agreement” which refers to these Incorporated Terms and which has been signed by the Company and the Employee (the “Base Instrument”). The Incorporated Terms and the Base Instrument constitute a single agreement and that agreement consists of the Base Instrument and the Incorporated Terms. The Incorporated Terms dovetail with the Base Instrument; because the last paragraph of the Base Instrument is Paragraph 1, the Incorporated Terms begin with Paragraph 2.

               2. Restrictions. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Base Restricted Stock, the Matching Restricted Stock and the Time Vested Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until, in the case of the Base Restricted Stock, the date set forth after “Base Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page; in the case of the Matching Restricted Stock, the date set forth after “Matching Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page; and in the case of the Time Vested Restricted Stock, until the Release Date determined as follows. For each date set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page, divide the number of shares set forth after “Shares of Time Vested Restricted Stock” by the sum of one and the difference between the latest year set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page and the earliest year set forth thereafter. The resulting quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole share, is the number of shares of Restricted Stock that shall be released on each date set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date” and such date shall be the Release Date for such shares (and only for such shares). The term “Release Date” shall be applied separately to the Base Restricted Stock, the Matching Restricted Stock and the Time Vested Restricted Stock as if the term “Release Date” were the term “Base Restricted Stock Release Date,” the term “Matching Restricted Stock Release Date,” or the term “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date,” as the case may be, and such application shall correspond to the application of the term “Restricted Stock” as set forth in Paragraph 1(a) of the Base Instrument.

          (b) The Release Date for RSUs shall be the same as the Release Date for the Time Vested Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, RSUs may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated regardless of the occurrence of the Release Date.

          (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Performance Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the Release Date determined as follows. For each date set forth after “Performance Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page, multiply the number of shares set forth after “Shares of Performance Restricted Stock” on the signature page by the quotient of dividing the EPS for the fiscal year of the Company ended on the December 31 immediately preceding such date by the amount set forth after “Target” on the signature page. The resulting product, rounded down to the nearest

 

 

whole share, is the number of shares of Restricted Stock that shall be released on the corresponding date set forth after “Performance Restricted Stock Release Date” and such date shall be the Release Date for such shares (and only for such shares). “EPS” means the Company’s diluted earnings per share, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and adjusted to exclude the after-tax effect of (i) realized gains and losses, and (ii) extraordinary items, except that there shall not be excluded such items attributable to joint ventures. If by any date set forth after “Performance Restricted Stock Release Date” the Company has not publicly announced its diluted earnings per share, such date shall be two business days after such earnings are publicly announced.

               3. Escrow. (a) Shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued (in certificate or electronic form, at the discretion of the Company) as soon as practicable in the name of the Employee but shall be held in an escrow arrangement by the transfer agent for the Stock, as escrow agent. The Employee shall give the Company a stock power for such Stock duly endorsed in blank which will be held in escrow for use in the event such Stock is forfeited in whole or in part. Unless forfeited as provided herein, Restricted Stock shall cease to be held in escrow and certificates for such Stock shall be delivered to the Employee, or in the case of his death, to his Beneficiary (as hereinafter defined) on the Release Date or upon any other termination of the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 2 hereof.

               (b) Unless forfeited as provided herein, on the Restricted Stock Units Release Date set forth on the signature page or determined as provided thereon, RSUs shall be settled by the issuance of shares of Stock and certificates for such Stock shall be delivered to the Employee, or in the case of his death, to his Beneficiary.

               4. Transfer After Release Date; Securities Law Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided herein, Restricted Stock shall become free of the restrictions of Paragraph 2 and be freely transferable by the Employee on the Release Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Employee agrees and acknowledges with respect to any Restricted Stock and any Stock delivered in settlement of RSUs that has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) (i) he will not sell or otherwise dispose of such Stock except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from such registration, and (ii) a legend will be placed on the certificates or other evidence for the Restricted Stock to such effect.

               5. Termination of Employment Due to Death. If the Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated because of death prior to the Release Date, (i) the restrictions of Paragraph 2 applicable to the Restricted Stock shall terminate on the date of death and such Restricted Stock shall be free of such restrictions and, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 hereof, freely transferable and (ii) a Release Date shall be deemed to have occurred for all RSUs.

               6. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. (a) If the Employee’s employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries is terminated prior to the Release Date for any reason (including without limitation, disability or termination by the Company and all subsidiaries

-2-

 

thereof, with or without cause) other than death, all Restricted Stock and all RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company on the date of such termination unless otherwise provided in subparagraph (b) below, or unless the Management Development, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Management Development Committee”) or other Committee of such Board administering the Plan (the Management Development Committee or such other Committee is herein referred to as the “Committee”) determines, on such terms and conditions, if any, as the Committee may impose, that all or a portion of the Restricted Stock and/or Stock deliverable on settlement of RSUs shall be released to the Employee and the restrictions of Paragraph 2 applicable thereto shall terminate. Absence of the Employee on leave approved by a duly elected officer of the Company, other than the Employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment during the period of such leave.

               (b) If the Employee’s employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries terminates by reason of retirement after reaching age 62 and after having been employed by the Company or any subsidiary thereof for an aggregate period of at least seven years, such retirement shall not result in forfeiture of the Performance Restricted Stock or of any RSUs (this provision does not apply to the Base or Matching Restricted Stock nor does it apply to Time Vested Restricted Stock not awarded in the form of RSUs) if no later than the date on which employment terminates, the Employee enters into an agreement with the Company (which agreement shall be drafted by and acceptable to the Company) under which the Employee agrees not to compete with the Company and its subsidiaries during a period ending one year after the latest of the dates set forth after (i) “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page, and (ii) “Performance Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page, and the Employee complies with such agreement. If the Employee enters into such a non-competition agreement and thereafter breaches the terms thereof, the Restricted Stock and RSUs shall be forfeited. If the conditions in the second preceding sentence are satisfied and the Employee complies with the terms of such agreement, upon the Employee’s death, the provisions of Paragraph 5 shall apply as if the Employee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminated because of such death.

               (c) Any shares of the Performance Restricted Stock for which a Release Date has not occurred by the latest date set forth after “Performance Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page (such date being subject to extension as contemplated in the last sentence of paragraph 2(b)) shall be forfeited to the Company, unless the Committee determines otherwise as contemplated in subparagraph (a) above.

               (d) If Restricted Stock is forfeited, the Employee hereby appoints the Company, acting through any Senior Vice President or more senior officer, as the Employee’s attorney-in-fact to transfer such forfeited Restricted Stock to the Company.

               7. Beneficiary. (a) The person whose name appears on the signature page hereof after the caption “Beneficiary” or any successor designated by the Employee in accordance herewith (the person who is the Employee’s Beneficiary at the time of his death herein referred to as the “Beneficiary”) shall be entitled to receive the Restricted Stock to be released to the Beneficiary under Paragraphs 3 and 5 as a result of the death of the Employee and the Stock to be

-3-

 

delivered in settlement of RSUs. The Employee may from time to time revoke or change his Beneficiary without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Employee’s death, and in no event shall any designation be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.

                    (b) If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of an Employee’s death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Employee or if such designation conflicts with law, upon the death of the Employee, the Employee’s estate shall be entitled to receive the Restricted Stock and the Stock to be delivered in settlement of RSUs. If the Committee is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive such Restricted Stock or Stock, the Company may retain the same and any distributions thereon, without liability for any interest thereon, until the Committee determines the person entitled thereto, or the Company may deliver such all of such property and any distributions thereon to any court of appropriate jurisdiction and such delivery shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Company therefor.

               8. Restricted Stock Legend. In addition to any legends placed on certificates for Restricted Stock, each certificate or other evidence for shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend:

“The sale or other transfer of these shares of stock, whether voluntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the MGIC Investment Corporation 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Agreement between MGIC Investment Corporation and the registered owner hereof. A copy of such Plan and such Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of MGIC Investment Corporation.”

When the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 2 hereof terminate, the Employee shall be entitled to have the foregoing legend removed from such Stock.

               9. Voting Rights; Dividends and Other Distributions; Rights of RSUs. (a) While the Restricted Stock is subject to restrictions under Paragraph 2 and prior to any forfeiture thereof, the Employee may exercise full voting rights for the Restricted Stock.

               (b) While the Restricted Stock is subject to the restrictions under Paragraph 2 and prior to any forfeiture thereof, the Employee shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Restricted Stock. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Stock, such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, including the requirement that Restricted Stock be held in escrow pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof.

               (c) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Employee shall have, with respect to the Restricted Stock, all other rights of holders of Stock.

-4-

 

               (d) RSUs represent only the right to receive as Stock, on the terms provided herein, the number of shares indicated after “Shares of Time Vested Restricted Stock” on the signature page, and the Employee with respect to RSUs shall have no rights as a holder of Stock, including the right to vote or to receive dividends, until certificates for such Stock are actually delivered in settlement of the RSU. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, on each date on which the Company pays a dividend in cash on the Stock, the Company shall make a payment in cash on the RSUs that are outstanding on the record date for such dividend equal to the dividend that would have been paid on the number of shares indicated after “Shares of Time Vested Restricted Stock” on the signature page had such shares been outstanding.

               10. Tax Withholding. (a) It shall be a condition of the obligation of the Company to release from escrow Restricted Stock to the Employee or the Beneficiary or to deliver Stock in settlement of RSUs, and the Employee agrees, that the Employee shall pay to the Company upon its demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying its liability to withhold federal, state, or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the award of the Restricted Stock or RSUs, as a result of the termination of the restrictions on Restricted Stock hereunder or the delivery of Stock in settlement of RSUs.

               (b) If the Employee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, the Employee may satisfy the Company’s withholding tax requirements by electing to have the Company withhold that number of shares of Restricted Stock otherwise deliverable to the Employee from escrow hereunder or that number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be issued in settlement of RSUs, or to deliver to the Company a number of shares of Stock, in each case, having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the amount required to be withheld as a result of the termination of the restrictions on such Restricted Stock. The election must be in writing and be delivered to the Company prior to the Tax Date. If the number of shares so calculated to be withheld shall include a fractional share, the Employee shall deliver cash in lieu of such fractional share. All elections shall be made in a form approved by the Company. As used herein, “Tax Date” means the date on which the Employee must include in his gross income for federal income tax purposes the fair market value of the Restricted Stock, or Stock delivered in settlement of the RSUs, over the purchase price therefor.

               11. Adjustments in Event of Change in Stock or Fiscal Year. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock (“capital adjustment”) for any reason, including but not limited to, any stock splits, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar event which, in the judgment of the Committee, could distort the implementation of the award of Restricted Stock or the award of RSUs or the realization of the objectives of such award, the Committee may make such adjustments in the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement or in the shares deliverable on settlement of RSUs, or in the terms, conditions or restrictions of this Agreement, including the Target set forth on the signature page, as the Committee deems equitable. In addition, if the Company changes its fiscal year from a year ending December 31, the Committee

-5-

 

may make such adjustments in the Performance Restricted Stock Release Date and the Target as the Committee deems equitable.

               12. Change in Control. If a “Change in Control of the Company” (as defined in the Annex attached hereto) occurs, notwithstanding anything herein, the restrictions of Paragraph 2 applicable to the Restricted Stock shall terminate on the date of the Change in Control of the Company and a Release Date shall be deemed to have occurred for all RSUs.

               13. Powers of Company Not Affected; No Right to Continued Employment.

               (a) The existence of the Restricted Stock or RSUs shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any combination, subdivision or reclassification of the Stock or any reorganization, merger, consolidation, business combination, exchange of shares, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any issue of bonds, debentures or stock having rights or preferences equal, superior or affecting the Restricted Stock or any Stock to be issued in settlement of RSUs or, in both cases, the rights thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. The determination of the Committee as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Agreement.

               (b) Nothing herein contained shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time, subject, however, to the provisions of any agreement of employment between the Company or any subsidiary and the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that a termination of his or her employment could occur at a time before which the restrictions referred to in Paragraph 2 above have lapsed, resulting in the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock and RSUs by the Employee, unless otherwise provided herein. In such event, the Employee will not be able to realize the value of the Restricted Stock or of the Stock that underlies the RSUs nor will the Employee be entitled to any compensation on account of such value.

               14. Interpretation by Committee. The Employee agrees that any dispute or disagreement which may arise in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and that any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and any determination made by the Committee under this Agreement or the Plan may be made in the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Any such determination need not be uniform and may be made differently among Employees awarded Restricted Stock and RSUs.

               15. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein between residents thereof.

-6-

 

               (b) The waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or waiver of any other provision hereof.

               (c) The Restricted Stock and RSUs shall be deemed to have been awarded pursuant to the Plan and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Any and all terms used herein, unless specifically defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. A copy of the Plan is available on request of the Employee made in writing or by e-mail to the Company’s Secretary.

               (d) Any notice, filing or delivery hereunder or with respect to Restricted Stock shall be given to the Employee at either his usual work location or his home address as indicated in the records of the Company, and shall be given to the Committee or the Company at 250 East Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee 53202, Attention: Secretary. All such notices shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, or by personal delivery.

               (e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employee, the Beneficiary and the personal representative(s) and heirs of the Employee, except that the Employee may not transfer any interest in any Restricted Stock prior to the release of the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 2 and nor may the Employee transfer any interest in any RSUs.

               (f) As a condition to the grant of the Restricted Stock and RSUs, the Employee must execute an agreement not to compete in the form provided to the Employee by the Company.

               The end of Paragraph 15 is the end of the Incorporated Terms. The remainder of the Agreement is contained in the Base Instrument.

It is understood that in no event shall a sale or disposition of assets be considered to be a sale of substantially all of the assets unless the assets sold or disposed of have a total gross fair market value of at least 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the Company’s assets immediately prior to such sale or disposition.
