EXHIBIT 10.17
                                                                   -------------

                KEY EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

          THIS  AGREEMENT  is  made  and  entered  into  as of  the  ___  day of
___________, by and between MGIC Investment Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), and the person whose name appears on
the signature page hereof (hereinafter referred to as "Executive").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

          WHEREAS,  the Executive is employed by the Company and/or a subsidiary
of the Company (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Employer") in a key
executive  capacity and the Executive's  services are valuable to the conduct of
the business of the Company;

          WHEREAS,  the  Company  desires  to  continue  to  attract  and retain
dedicated and skilled  management  employees in a period of actual and potential
industry   consolidation  and  changes  in  regulatory  barriers  regarding  the
ownership of insurance companies, consistent with achieving a transaction in the
best interests of its shareholders in any change in control of the Company;

          WHEREAS,  the Company recognizes that circumstances may arise in which
a change in control of the Company  occurs,  through  acquisition  or otherwise,
thereby causing a potential conflict of interest between the Company's needs for
the Executive to remain focused on the Company's  business and for the necessary
continuity  in management  prior to and  following a change in control,  and the
Executive's  reasonable  personal concerns  regarding future employment with the
Employer  and  economic  protection  in the  event  of loss of  employment  as a
consequence of a change in control;

          WHEREAS,  the Company and the Executive are desirous that any proposal
for a change in control or  acquisition of the Company will be considered by the
Executive  objectively  and with  reference  only to the best  interests  of the
Company and its shareholders;

          WHEREAS,  the Executive  will be in a better  position to consider the
Company's  best  interests  if the  Executive  is afforded  reasonable  economic
security,  as  provided  in  this  Agreement,   against  altered  conditions  of
employment which could result from any such change in control or acquisition;

          WHEREAS,  the Executive  possesses  intimate knowledge of the business
and affairs of the Company and has acquired certain confidential information and
data with respect to the Company; and

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to insure,  insofar as possible,  that it
will continue to have the benefit of the Executive's services and to protect its
confidential information and goodwill.

          NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreements  hereinafter  set forth,  the parties  hereto  mutually
covenant and agree as follows:

                    (b) Affiliate and Associate. For purposes of this Agreement,
          the  terms  "Affiliate"  and  "Associate"  shall  have the  respective

                    (c)  Beneficial  Owner.  For purposes of this  Agreement,  a
          Person shall be deemed to be the "Beneficial Owner" of any securities:

                              (i)  which  such  Person  or any of such  Person's
                    Affiliates or Associates  has the right to acquire  (whether
                    such  right is  exercisable  immediately  or only  after the
                    passage of time) pursuant to any  agreement,  arrangement or
                    understanding,  or upon the exercise of  conversion  rights,
                    exchange rights, rights,  warrants or options, or otherwise;
                    provided,  however,  that a Person  shall not be deemed  the

                    tendered  pursuant to a tender or exchange  offer made by or
                    on behalf of such Person or any of such Person's  Affiliates
                    or Associates  until such tendered  securities  are accepted
                    for purchase,  or (B)  securities  issuable upon exercise of
                    Rights issued pursuant to the terms of the Company's  Rights
                    Agreement,  dated as of July 22,  1999,  between the Company

                              (ii)  which  such  Person or any of such  Person's

                    and Regulations  under the Act),  including  pursuant to any
                    agreement, arrangement or understanding;  provided, however,
                    that a Person shall not be deemed the  Beneficial  Owner of,
                    or to beneficially own, any security under this Subsection 1
                    (c)  as  a   result   of  an   agreement,   arrangement   or
                    understanding  to  vote  such  security  if  the  agreement,
                    arrangement  or  understanding:  (A)  arises  solely  from a
                    revocable  proxy or consent given to such Person in response
                    to a public proxy or consent  solicitation made pursuant to,

                              (iii) which are  beneficially  owned,  directly or
                    indirectly,  by any other  Person  with which such Person or
                    any of  such  Person's  Affiliates  or  Associates  has  any
                    agreement,  arrangement or understanding  for the purpose of
                    acquiring,  holding,  voting (except pursuant to a revocable

                    disposing of any voting securities of the Company.

                    (d) Cause.  "Cause" for  termination  by the Employer of the
          Executive's  employment in connection  with a Change in Control of the
          Company shall,  for purposes of this Agreement,  be limited to (i) the
          engaging by the  Executive  in  intentional  conduct not taken in good
          faith which has caused  demonstrable  and serious  financial injury to
          the Employer,  as evidenced by a determination  in a binding and final
          judgment,  order or  decree  of a court or  administrative  agency  of
          competent  jurisdiction,  in effect after  exhaustion  or lapse of all
          rights of appeal,  in an action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether civil,
          criminal, administrative or investigative; (ii) conviction of a felony
          (as  evidenced  by binding  and final  judgment,  order or decree of a
          court of competent  jurisdiction,  in effect after  exhaustion  of all
          rights of appeal) which substantially  impairs the Executive's ability
          to  perform  his  duties or  responsibilities;  and  (iii)  continuing
          willful  and  unreasonable  refusal by the  Executive  to perform  the
          Executive's duties or responsibilities  (unless  significantly changed
          without the Executive's consent).

                    (e) Change in Control of the  Company.  A "Change in Control
          of the Company" shall be deemed to have occurred if an event set forth
          in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

                              (i) any Person  (other than (A) the Company or any

                    such  securities  or (D) a  corporation  owned,  directly or
                    indirectly,   by  the   shareholders   of  the   Company  in

                    stock in the Company ("Excluded Persons")) is or becomes the
                    Beneficial Owner,  directly or indirectly,  of securities of

                    to express  authorization  by the Board of  Directors of the

                    nomination  for election as a director  which occurred after

                    or  nominated  by such  two-thirds  (2/3) vote as  described
                    above   ad   infinitum    (collectively    the   "Continuing
                    Directors");  provided,  however,  that  individuals who are
                    appointed to the Board pursuant to or in accordance with the

                    failure  of any such  persons  appointed  to the Board to be
                    Continuing  Directors  results in a Change in Control of the
                    Company,  the  subsequent  qualification  of such persons as
                    Continuing  Directors shall not alter the fact that a Change
                    in Control of the Company occurred; or

                    outstanding immediately prior to such merger,  consolidation

                    office  under this clause  (ii),  but this clause  shall not
                    affect  the  Executive's  rights  under  clause (i) above by
                    virtue of Section 4 hereof with respect to any change in the
                    Executive's job function;

                              (iii) a material  reduction in the aggregate level
                    of support services, staff, secretarial and other comparable
                    assistance  directly  available to the Executive  during the
                    90-day  period prior to the Change in Control of

                    the Company if such reduction  makes the  performance of the
                    Executive's  job functions  materially  more  difficult than
                    during such 90-day period; or

                              (iv)   failure  by  the   Company  to  obtain  the
                    Agreement  referred to in Section  17(a)  hereof as provided
                    therein.

          the  term  "Normal  Retirement  Date"  means  the  date on  which  the
          Executive  can retire from  service  with the  Employer  and  commence

          reduction in such payments on account of early  retirement,  under the
          primary  qualified  defined  benefit  pension plan  applicable  to the
          Executive,  or any  successor  plan,  as in  effect on the date of the
          Change in Control of the Company.

                    (l)  Person.  For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  term
          "Person" shall mean any individual, firm, partnership,  corporation or

                    (m) Termination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, except
          as  otherwise  provided in  Subsection  2(b),  Subsection  10(b),  and
          Subsection 17(a) hereof,  the term "Termination Date" means (i) if the
          Executive's  employment is terminated by the  Executive's  death,  the

          reason of  voluntary  early  retirement,  as agreed in  writing by the
          Employer and the Executive, the date of such early retirement which is
          set  forth  in  such  written  agreement;  (iii)  if  the  Executive's

          of the  Employment  Period;  (iv)  if the  Executive's  employment  is
          terminated by the Executive  voluntarily (other than for Good Reason),
          the date the Notice of  Termination is given;  (v) if the  Executive's
          employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, the earlier of ten
          days after the Notice of  Termination is given or one day prior to the
          end of the Employment Period;  and (vi) if the Executive's  employment
          is  terminated  by the Employer  (other than for Cause or by reason of

          Notwithstanding the foregoing,

                    has cured the conduct  constituting  such Cause as described
                    by the  Employer  in its Notice of  Termination  within such
                    ten-day or shorter period,  then the Executive's  employment
                    hereunder   shall  continue  as  if  the  Employer  had  not
                    delivered its Notice of Termination;  provided, however, the
                    right of the Executive to cure such conduct shall apply only
                    to the  first  Notice  of  Termination  indicating  that the
                    termination is for Cause.

                              (2)  If  the  party   receiving   the   Notice  of
                    Termination  notifies the other party that a dispute  exists
                    concerning the  termination  within the  appropriate  period
                    following receipt thereof and it is finally  determined that
                    the reason  asserted in such Notice of  Termination  did not
                    exist,  then  (i)  if  such  Notice  was  delivered  by  the
                    Executive,  the Executive will be deemed to have voluntarily
                    terminated his employment and the Termination  Date shall be
                    the  earlier  of the date  fifteen  days after the Notice of
                    Termination  is  given  or one day  prior  to the end of the
                    Employment Period and (ii) if delivered by the Company,  the
                    Company  will be deemed  to have  terminated  the  Executive
                    other than by reason of death, disability or Cause.

          2. Termination or Cancellation Prior to Change in Control.

                    (a) Subject to Subsection 2(b) hereof,  the Employer and the
          Executive  shall each retain the right to terminate the  employment of
          the Executive at any time prior to a Change in Control of the Company.
          Subject  to  Subsection  2(b)  hereof,  in the event  the  Executive's
          employment is terminated  prior to a Change in Control of the Company,
          this  Agreement  shall be  terminated  and cancelled and of no further
          force  and  effect,  and any and all  rights  and  obligations  of the
          parties hereunder shall cease.

                    (b)   Anything   in   this   Agreement   to   the   contrary
          notwithstanding,  if a Change in Control of the Company  occurs and if
          the Executive's employment with the Employer is terminated (other than
          a  termination  due to the  Executive's  death or as a  result  of the
          Executive's disability) during the period of 90 days prior to the date
          on which the  Change in Control of the  Company  occurs,  and if it is
          reasonably  demonstrated  by the Executive  that such  termination  of
          employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps
          reasonably  calculated to effect a Change in Control of the Company or
          (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change
          in Control of the  Company,  then for all  purposes of this  Agreement
          such   termination   of   employment   shall  be  deemed  a   "Covered
          Termination,"  "Notice  of  Termination"  shall be deemed to have been
          given,  and the  "Employment  Period" shall be deemed to have begun on
          the  date  of  such  termination  which  shall  be  deemed  to be  the
          "Termination  Date"  and the  date of the  Change  of  Control  of the
          Company for purposes of this Agreement.

          3.  Employment  Period;  Vesting of Certain  Benefits.  If a Change in
Control of the Company  occurs when the  Executive is employed by the  Employer,
(a) the Employer  will continue  thereafter  to employ the Executive  during the
Employment  Period,  and the Executive will remain in the employ of the Employer
in accordance  with and subject to the terms and  provisions of this  Agreement,
and (b) (i) the Company shall cause all  restrictions on restricted stock awards
made to the  Executive  prior to the  Change in  Control  to lapse such that the
Executive is fully and immediately  vested in his or her restricted stock at the
time at which the Change in Control of the Company occurs,  and (ii) the Company
shall cause all unexercised  stock options granted to the Executive prior to the
Change in Control to be fully vested and  exercisable  in full at such time. Any
termination of the Executive's  employment during the Employment Period, whether
by the Company or the Employer, shall be deemed a termination by the Company for
purposes of this Agreement.

          4. Duties.  During the  Employment  Period,  the  Executive (a) shall,
devote the Executive's  best efforts and all of the  Executive's  business time,
attention and skill to the business and affairs of the Employer and (b) shall be
entitled to  materially  the same job  function as held by the  Executive at the
time of the Change in Control of the  Company or in such other job  function  or
functions as shall be mutually  agreed upon in writing by the  Executive and the
Employer  from  time to time.  The  services  which are to be  performed  by the
Executive  hereunder are to be rendered in the same  metropolitan  area in which
the Executive was employed at the date of such Change in Control of the Company,
or in such other place or places as shall be mutually  agreed upon in writing by
the  Executive and the Employer  from time to time.  Any travel  incident to the
Executive's  job  function  shall  not be  deemed  to  result in a breach of the
immediately preceding sentence by the Company.

          5. Compensation.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
compensated as follows:

                    (a) The Executive  shall  receive,  at reasonable  intervals
          (but not less often than monthly) and in accordance with such standard
          policies  as may be in  effect  immediately  prior  to the  Change  in
          Control of the Company,  an annual base salary in cash  equivalent  of
          not less than the Executive's  highest annual base salary in effect at
          any time during the 90-day period  immediately  prior to the Change in
          Control  of the  Company,  or if prior to the Change in Control of the
          Company,  the Employer had approved an increase in such base salary to
          take effect after the Change in Control of the Company, at such higher
          rate  beginning on the date on which such  increase was to take effect
          (which base salary shall,  unless  otherwise  agreed in writing by the
          Executive, include the current receipt by the Executive of any amounts
          which,  prior to the Change in Control of the Company,  the  Executive
          had elected to defer,  whether  such  compensation  is deferred  under
          Section  401(k) of the Code or  otherwise),  subject to  adjustment as
          hereinafter  provided  in Section 6 (such  salary  amount as  adjusted
          upward from time to time is hereafter  referred to as the "Annual Base
          Salary").

                    (b) The Executive shall be reimbursed, at such intervals and
          in accordance  with such standard  policies that were in effect at any
          time  during  the  90-day  period  immediately  prior to the Change in
          Control of the Company,  for any and all monies advanced in connection
          with the Executive's  employment for reasonable and necessary expenses
          incurred by the Executive on behalf of the Employer,  including travel
          expenses.

                    (c) The Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case
          may be, shall be included,  to the extent eligible  thereunder  (which
          eligibility  shall not be conditioned on the Executive's  salary grade
          or on any other  requirement  which  excludes  persons  of  comparable
          status to the Executive  unless such  exclusion was in effect for such
          plan or an  equivalent  plan at any  time  during  the  90-day  period
          immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company), in any and
          all plans providing benefits for the Employer's  salaried employees in
          general,   including   but  not  limited  to  group  life   insurance,
          hospitalization,  medical,  dental,  profit  sharing  and stock  bonus
          plans.

                    (d) The  Executive  shall  annually  be entitled to not less
          than the amount of paid vacation and not fewer than the highest number
          of paid holidays to which the  Executive was entitled  annually at any
          time  during  the  90-day  period  immediately  prior to the Change in
          Control of the Company.

                    (e) The Executive  shall be included in all plans  providing
          additional benefits to executives of the Employer of comparable status
          and position to the  Executive,  including but not limited to deferred
          compensation,  split-dollar life insurance,  supplemental  retirement,
          stock  option,   stock  appreciation,   stock  bonus  and  similar  or
          comparable  plans, and shall receive fringe benefits made available to
          executives  of the Employer of  comparable  status and position to the
          Executive;  provided,  that, the Employer's  obligation to include the
          Executive in bonus or incentive compensation plans shall be determined
          by Subsection 5(g) hereof.

                    (f)  The  aggregate   annual  value  of  the  benefits  made
          available to the Executive  pursuant to Subsections 5(c) and (e) shall
          not be less  than 75% of the  highest  aggregate  annual  value of the
          benefits of the type  referred to in such  Subsections  that were made
          available  to the  Executive  at any time  during  the  90-day  period
          immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company, except that
          if executives based in the United States of Affiliated Companies whose
          status and position with such Companies are  approximately  comparable
          to the Executive do not generally  receive stock  options,  restricted
          stock or other  stock-based  compensation,  during any period in which
          the  Executive  does  not  receive  such  benefits,  (i)  the  highest
          aggregate  value of the  benefits  during such 90-day  period shall be
          computed  without regard the value of stock options,  restricted stock
          or other  stock-based  compensation,  and (ii) the  percentage  in the
          preceding  portion of this  sentence  shall be  increased to 100% from
          75%.  The term  "Affiliated  Companies"  means  companies  that become
          Affiliates of the Employer as a result of the Change in Control of the
          Company.

                    (g)(i) To assure that the Executive will have an opportunity
          to earn annual incentive compensation after a Change in Control of the
          Company,  the  Executive  shall  be  included  in a bonus  plan of the
          Employer which shall satisfy the standards described below (such plan,
          the  "Post-Change  Bonus Plan").  Bonuses under the Post-Change  Bonus
          Plan shall be payable  annually with respect to achieving  such annual
          financial  or other goals  reasonably  related to the  business of the
          Employer (or, in the case of an Executive whose primary responsibility
          is sales of the  products  of the  Employer  or an  Affiliate,  to the
          extent  so  provided  by the  Employer  or the  Affiliate,  reasonably
          related to such sales) as the Employer shall  establish (the "Goals"),
          all of which Goals that are  determinable  under  objective  standards
          shall be  attainable  on a annual  basis with  approximately  the same
          degree of  probability  as the  comparable  goals under the Employer's
          bonus plan or plans as in effect at any time during the 90-day  period
          immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company (whether one
          or more,  the  "Pre-Change  Company  Bonus  Plan")  and in view of the
          Employer's existing and projected financial and business circumstances
          applicable at the time. The  determination of whether any of the Goals
          that are  determinable  under  subjective  standards has been achieved
          shall be made by the Compensation  Committee (as hereinafter defined).
          In the event a majority of the members of the  Compensation  Committee
          are  not  persons  who  were  on the  Compensation  Committee  or were
          officers  of MGIC  during the 90-day  period  prior to the date of the
          Change in Control of the Company or the highest  ranking member of the
          Compensation  Committee  is not a person  who was on the  Compensation
          Committee  during  such  90-day  period,  none of the  Goals  shall be
          subjective.  The term  "Compensation  Committee"  means  the  Board of
          Directors  of the  Company,  an  appropriate  committee  thereof  or a
          committee comprised of members of management of the Employer,  in each
          case, in accordance with the Company's practice prior to the Change in
          Control of the  Company  with  respect  to  executives  of  comparable
          position to the Executive.

                    (ii) The maximum  amount of the bonus (the  "Bonus  Amount")
          that the  Executive  is eligible to earn under the  Post-Change  Bonus
          Plan shall be no less than the product of the Executive's  Annual Base
          Salary  multiplied  by a  percentage  that  is at  least  75%  of  the
          percentage that  determined the Executive's  maximum award provided in
          the  Pre-Change  Company  Bonus Plan (such maximum bonus amount herein
          referred  to as the  "Targeted  Bonus"),  and in the  event  the Goals
          (other than any objective  Goal) are not achieved such that the entire
          Targeted  Bonus is not  payable,  the Bonus Plan shall  provide  for a
          payment of a Bonus  Amount  equal to a portion of the  Targeted  Bonus
          reasonably  related to that portion of the Goals which were  achieved.
          The Bonus Amount  earned shall be paid within 75 days after the end of
          the  related  fiscal  year;  at  the  option  of the  Employer,  up to
          one-third of the Bonus Amount may be paid in  restricted  stock if the
          class  of  stock  of  which  such  restricted   stock  is  a  part  is
          publicly-traded  in an active  market in the  United  States  and such
          stock becomes fully vested by continued employment for a period of not
          more than one year after the date on which the Bonus Amount is paid.

          6. Annual Compensation Adjustments.  During the Employment Period, the
Compensation  Committee (as defined in Subsection  5(g)(i) hereof) will consider
and appraise,  annually,  the contributions of the Executive to the Company, and
in accordance with the Company's  practice prior to the Change in Control of the
Company, good faith consideration shall be given to the upward adjustment of the
Executive's Annual Base Salary, annually.

          7. Termination For Cause or Without Good Reason. If there is a Covered
Termination for Cause or due to the Executive's  voluntarily  terminating his or
her employment  other than for Good Reason (any such  terminations to be subject
to the procedures set forth in Section 13 hereof),  then the Executive  shall be
entitled to receive only Accrued Benefits pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof.

          8. Termination Giving Rise to a Termination Payment.

                    (a) If there is a Covered  Termination  by the Executive for
          Good Reason, or by the Company other than by reason of (i) death, (ii)
          disability  pursuant  to Section 12 hereof,  or (iii)  Cause (any such
          terminations  to be subject to the  procedures set forth in Section 13
          hereof),  then the  Executive  shall be entitled  to receive,  and the
          Company shall promptly pay,  Accrued  Benefits and, in lieu of further
          Annual Base Salary for periods  following  the  Termination  Date,  as
          liquidated  damages and additional  severance pay and in consideration
          of the covenant of the Executive set forth in Subsection 14(a) hereof,
          the Termination Payment pursuant to Subsection 9(b) hereof.

                    (b) If there is a Covered  Termination  and the Executive is
          entitled to Accrued  Benefits and the  Termination  Payment,  then the
          Company  shall  provide  to the  Executive  the  following  additional
          benefits:

                              (i) The Executive shall receive, at the expense of
                    the Company,  outplacement  services,  on an  individualized
                    basis  at  a  level  of   service   commensurate   with  the
                    Executive's status with the Company immediately prior to the
                    date of the Change in Control of the Company (or, if higher,
                    immediately  prior  to the  termination  of the  Executive's
                    employment),  provided by a nationally  recognized executive
                    placement  firm

                    selected  by the  Company;  provided  that  the  cost to the
                    Company  of  such  services  shall  not  exceed  10%  of the
                    Executive's Annual Base Salary.

                              (ii)   Until  the   earlier  of  the  end  of  the
                    Employment Period or such time as the Executive has obtained
                    new  employment  and is  covered  by  benefits  which in the
                    aggregate  are at least  equal  in  value  to the  following
                    benefits, the Executive shall continue to be covered, at the
                    expense  of the  Company,  by the  same or  equivalent  life
                    insurance,  hospitalization,  medical and dental coverage as
                    was  required   hereunder  with  respect  to  the  Executive
                    immediately  prior to the date the Notice of  Termination is
                    given.

                              (iii) The Company  shall cause the Executive to be
                    fully and  immediately  vested in his or her accrued benefit
                    under  any  supplemental  executive  retirement  plan of the
                    Employer  providing  benefits for the Executive (the "SERP")
                    and in any restricted  stock paid as part of the Executive's
                    Bonus Amount as contemplated by Subsection 5(g)(ii).

                              (iv) If the  Executive  is not fully vested in all
                    accrued benefits under any defined  contribution  retirement
                    plan of the  Employer,  the  Company  shall  make a lump sum
                    payment  to  the   Executive  in  an  amount  equal  to  the
                    difference   between   the  fully   vested   amount  of  the
                    Executive's   account   balances  under  such  plan  at  the
                    Termination  Date and the vested  amount of such balances at
                    such time.

                              (v) The Company shall  reimburse the Executive for
                    up to  an  aggregate  of  $10,000  in  (A)  tax  preparation
                    assistance  fees for the tax year in which  the  Termination
                    Payment  is made and (B) fees and  expenses  of  consultants
                    and/or legal or accounting advisors engaged by the Executive
                    to  advise  the  Executive  as to  matters  relating  to the
                    computation  of benefits  due and payable  under  Subsection
                    9(b).

          9. Payments.

                    (a) Accrued  Benefits.  For purposes of this Agreement,  the
          Executive's  "Accrued  Benefits" shall include the following  amounts,
          payable as described  herein:  (i) all Annual Base Salary for the time
          period ending with the Termination  Date; (ii)  reimbursement  for any

          Date; (iii) any and all other cash earned through the Termination Date
          and  deferred  at the  election  of the  Executive  or pursuant to any

          fringe  benefits or under any benefit plan of the Employer,  excluding
          severance  payments under any Employer  severance policy,  practice or
          agreement in effect  immediately prior to the Change in Control of the

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

          Accrued  Benefits  shall  be made  promptly  in  accordance  with  the
          Company's  prevailing practice with respect to Subsections 9(a)(i) and
          (ii) or, with respect to Subsections 9(a)(iii), (iv) and (v), pursuant
          to the  terms  of the  benefit  plan  or  practice  establishing  such
          benefits.

                    (b) Termination Payment and Other Payments.

                              (i) The  Termination  Payment  shall be an  amount
                    equal to (A) the Executive's  Annual Base Salary (determined
                    as of the time of the Change in Control of the  Company  or,
                    if  higher,  immediately  prior to the date  the  Notice  of
                    Termination  is  given)  plus  (B) an  amount  equal  to the
                    greater of the  Executive's  Targeted  Bonus for the year in
                    which the Termination Date occurs or the bonus the Executive
                    received  (x) for the year in which the Change in Control of
                    the  Company  occurred or (y) for the year prior to the year
                    in which the Change in Control of the Company occurred (each
                    year described in clauses (x) and (y) is herein  referred to
                    as  a  "Prior  Year")  plus  (C)  an  amount  equal  to  the
                    "actuarial  equivalent" (as defined in the Company's defined
                    benefit  pension  plan  on the  determination  date)  of the
                    Executive's  benefit accruals under the pension plan and the
                    SERP  for,  whichever  is  greater,  the year in  which  the
                    Termination Date occurs or a Prior Year plus an amount equal
                    to the Company's  matching  contribution  and profit sharing
                    contribution under the Company's defined contribution profit
                    sharing and savings plan for, whichever is greater, the year
                    in which the  Termination  Date  occurs or a Prior Year (the
                    aggregate  amount set forth in (A), (B) and (C) hereof shall
                    hereafter  be  referred to as "Annual  Cash  Compensation"),
                    times (D) two less, if the Termination Date occurs more than
                    three  months  after the date of Change  in  Control  of the
                    Company,  the  portion  of the  Employment  Period  that has
                    elapsed at the  Termination  Date (measured by the number of
                    months  that  have  elapsed  from the date of the  Change in
                    Control of the Company to the  Termination  Date  divided by
                    33); provided,  however,  that such amount shall not be less
                    than the  severance  benefits to which the  Executive  would
                    have been entitled  under the Company's  severance  policies
                    and practices in effect  immediately  prior to the Change in
                    Control of the Company.  The  Termination  Payment  shall be
                    paid to the Executive in cash  equivalent  ten (10) business
                    days after the Termination Date. Such lump sum payment shall
                    not be reduced by any present value or similar  factor,  and
                    the  Executive  shall not be required to mitigate the amount
                    of the Termination  Payment by securing other  employment or
                    otherwise,  nor will such Termination  Payment be reduced by
                    reason of the Executive securing other employment or for any
                    other reason.  The Termination  Payment shall be in lieu of,
                    and acceptance by the Executive of the  Termination  Payment
                    shall  constitute the  Executive's  release of any rights of
                    Executive to, any other severance payments under any Company
                    severance policy, practice or agreement.

                              (ii)  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this
                    Agreement,   if  any  portion  of  any  payment  under  this
                    Agreement,  or under any other agreement with or plan of the
                    Employer,  including  payments  that

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

                    may be deemed to have  occurred  on account  of  accelerated
                    vesting of  restricted  stock or stock options under Section
                    3(b)  hereof  (in the  aggregate  "Total  Payments"),  would
                    constitute an "excess parachute  payment," the Company shall
                    pay  the  Executive  an  additional  amount  (the  "Gross-Up
                    Payment") such that the net amount retained by the Executive
                    after deduction of any excise tax imposed under Section 4999
                    of the Code, any interest charges or penalties in respect of
                    the  imposition  of such  excise  tax (but not any  federal,
                    state or local income tax, or  employment  tax) on the Total
                    Payments,  and any  federal,  state  and local  income  tax,
                    employment tax, and excise tax upon the payment provided for
                    by this  Subsection  9(b)(ii),  shall be equal to the  Total
                    Payments.  For  purposes  of  determining  the amount of the
                    Gross-Up  Payment,  the  Executive  shall be  deemed  to pay
                    federal  income  tax and  employment  taxes  at the  highest
                    marginal rate of federal income and  employment  taxation in
                    the  calendar  year in which the  Gross-Up  Payment is to be
                    made  and  state  and  local  income  taxes  at the  highest
                    marginal  rate of taxation in the state and  locality of the
                    Executive's domicile for income tax purposes on the date the
                    Gross-Up  Payment is made,  net of the maximum  reduction in
                    federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction
                    of such state and local taxes.

                              (iii) For  purposes of this  Agreement,  the terms
                    "excess  parachute  payment" and "parachute  payments" shall
                    have the  meanings  assigned to them in Section  280G of the
                    Code and  such  "parachute  payments"  shall  be  valued  as
                    provided  therein.   Present  value  for  purposes  of  this
                    Agreement  shall be calculated  in  accordance  with Section
                    1274(b)(2)  of  the  Code  (or  any  successor   provision).
                    Promptly  following a Covered  Termination  or notice by the
                    Company  to the  Executive  of its  belief  that  there is a
                    payment or benefit due the Executive which will result in an
                    excess  parachute  payment as defined in Section 280G of the
                    Code (or if the  Company  fails to give such  notice and the
                    Executive  furnishes  notice to the  Company  setting  forth
                    computations in reasonable detail supporting the Executive's
                    belief that there has been such an excess parachute payment,
                    promptly  after  such  notice by the  Executive  unless  the
                    Executive  has  withdrawn  such notice  after the  Company's
                    response  to  such  computations),  the  Executive  and  the
                    Company, at the Company's expense,  shall obtain the opinion
                    (which need not be unqualified) of nationally recognized tax
                    counsel  ("National Tax Counsel")  selected by the Company's
                    independent  auditors  and  reasonably   acceptable  to  the
                    Executive  (which  may be  regular  outside  counsel  to the
                    Company),  which  opinion  sets  forth (i) the amount of the
                    Base Period  Income,  (ii) the amount and  present  value of
                    Total  Payments,  (iii) the amount and present  value of any
                    excess  parachute  payments,  and  (iv)  the  amount  of any
                    Gross-Up Payment. As used in this Agreement,  the term "Base
                    Period  Income"  means an  amount  equal to the  Executive's
                    "annualized includible  compensation for the base period" as
                    defined in Section  280G(d)(1) of the Code.  For purposes of
                    such  opinion,  the  value of any  noncash  benefits  or any
                    deferred  payment  or  benefit  shall be  determined  by the
                    Company's   independent  auditors  in  accordance  with  the
                    principles of

                    Section  280G(d)(3)  and (4) of the Code  (or any  successor
                    provisions),  which  determination  shall be  evidenced in a
                    certificate  of such  auditors  addressed to the Company and
                    the Executive.  The opinion of National Tax Counsel shall be
                    addressed to the Company and the Executive  and,  subject to
                    any  adjustment  pursuant to Subsection  9(b)(iv),  shall be
                    binding upon the Company and the Executive. If such National
                    Tax  Counsel so  requests  in  connection  with the  opinion
                    required by this Subsection 9(b) of Section 9, the Executive
                    and the Company shall obtain, at the Company's expense,  and
                    the  National  Tax Counsel may rely on, the advice of a firm
                    of recognized executive  compensation  consultants as to the
                    reasonableness of any item of compensation to be received by
                    the  Executive  solely  with  respect  to its  status  under
                    Section  280G of the  Code and the  regulations  thereunder.
                    Within  five (5)  days  after  the  National  Tax  Counsel's
                    opinion is received by the  Company and the  Executive,  the
                    Company  shall pay (or cause to be paid) or  distribute  (or
                    cause  to be  distributed)  to or  for  the  benefit  of the
                    Executive  such  amounts  as are then  due to the  Executive
                    under this Agreement.

                              (iv) In the  event  that  upon  any  audit  by the
                    Internal  Revenue  Service,  or by a state or  local  taxing
                    authority,  of the Total  Payments  or Gross-Up  Payment,  a
                    change is finally determined to be required in the amount of
                    taxes paid by the Executive,  appropriate  adjustments shall
                    be made under this  Agreement such that the net amount which
                    is payable to the  Executive  after  taking into account the
                    provisions  of Section  4999 of the Code shall  reflect  the
                    intent of the parties as expressed in this Section 9, in the
                    manner  determined  by the  National  Tax  Counsel.

                              (v)  The   Company   agrees   to  bear  all  costs
                    associated  with,  and to indemnify and hold  harmless,  the
                    National  Tax  Counsel  of and  from  any  and  all  claims,
                    damages,  and  expenses  resulting  from or  relating to its
                    determinations  pursuant to this Subsection 9(b), except for
                    claims,   damages  or  expenses  resulting  from  the  gross
                    negligence or willful misconduct of such firm.

          10. Death.

                    (a) Except as provided in Subsection  10(b)  hereof,  in the
          event of a  Covered  Termination  due to the  Executive's  death,  the
          Executive's  estate,  heirs and  beneficiaries  shall  receive all the
          Executive's Accrued Benefits through the Termination Date.

                    (b) In the  event  the  Executive  dies  after a  Notice  of
          Termination  is given (i) by the Company or (ii) by the  Executive for
          Good Reason, the Executive's estate,  heirs and beneficiaries shall be
          entitled to the  benefits  described in  Subsection  10(a) hereof and,
          subject  to the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  to such  Termination
          Payment as the Executive would have been entitled to had the Executive
          lived.  For purposes of this Subsection  10(b),  the Termination  Date
          shall be the earlier of thirty days following the giving of the Notice
          of Termination, or one day prior to the end of the Employment Period.

          11.  Retirement.  If, during the Employment  Period, the Executive and
the Employer  shall execute an agreement  providing for the early  retirement of
the Executive from the Employer,  or the Executive  shall  otherwise give notice
that he is voluntarily choosing to retire early from the Employer, the Executive
shall receive Accrued Benefits through the Termination Date;  provided,  that if
the Executive's  employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by
the Company other than by reason of death, disability or Cause and the Executive
also, in connection with such  termination,  elects voluntary early  retirement,
the Executive shall also be entitled to receive a Termination  Payment  pursuant
to Subsection 8(a) hereof.

          12. Termination for Disability. If, during the Employment Period, as a
result of the Executive's disability due to physical or mental illness or injury
(regardless  of whether such illness or injury is  job-related),  the  Executive
shall have been  absent from the  Executive's  duties  hereunder  on a full-time
basis for a period of six  consecutive  months and, within thirty days after the
Company  notifies the  Executive  in writing  that it intends to  terminate  the
Executive's  employment  (which  notice  shall  not  constitute  the  Notice  of
Termination  contemplated  below),  the Executive shall not have returned to the
performance  of the  Executive's  duties  hereunder  on a full-time  basis,  the
Company may terminate the Executive's  employment for purposes of this Agreement
pursuant to a Notice of Termination  given in accordance with Section 13 hereof.
If the  Executive's  employment  is  terminated  on account  of the  Executive's
disability in accordance with this Section,  the Executive shall receive Accrued
Benefits in accordance with Subsection 9(a) hereof and shall remain eligible for
all  benefits  provided by any long term  disability  programs of the Company in
effect at the time of such termination.

          13. Termination Notice and Procedure.  Any Covered  Termination by the
Company or the Executive (other than a termination of the Executive's employment
that is a Covered  Termination  by virtue of  Subsection  2(b) hereof)  shall be
communicated by a written notice of termination ("Notice of Termination") to the
Executive,  if such Notice is given by the Company,  and to the Company, if such
Notice  is  given  by  the  Executive,  all in  accordance  with  the  following
procedures and those set forth in Section 23 hereof:

                    (a) If such  termination  is for  disability,  Cause or Good
          Reason,  the Notice of Termination shall indicate in reasonable detail
          the  facts  and  circumstances  alleged  to  provide  a basis for such
          termination.

                    (b) If the Notice is given by the Executive for Good Reason,
          the Executive may cease  performing  his duties  hereunder on or after
          the date fifteen days after the delivery of Notice of Termination  and
          shall in any event cease  employment on the  Termination  Date. If the
          Notice  is  given  by  the  Company,  then  the  Executive  may  cease
          performing  his duties  hereunder on the date of receipt of the Notice
          of Termination, subject to the Executive's rights hereunder.

                    (c)  To the  extent  provided  by  Subsection  1(m)(1),  the
          Executive  shall have ten days,  or such longer  period as the Company
          may  determine  to be  appropriate,  to cure any  conduct  or act,  if
          curable, alleged to provide grounds for termination of the Executive's
          employment for Cause under this Agreement  pursuant to Subsection 1(d)
          (iii) hereof.

<PAGE>

                    (d)  The  recipient  of  any  Notice  of  Termination  shall
          personally  deliver  or mail in  accordance  with  Section  23  hereof
          written  notice of any dispute  relating to such Notice of Termination
          to the party  giving such Notice  within  fifteen  days after  receipt
          thereof;  provided,  however,  that if the Executive's  conduct or act
          alleged to provide grounds for termination by the Company for Cause is
          curable,  then such period shall be thirty days.  After the expiration
          of such period, the contents of the Notice of Termination shall become
          final and not subject to dispute.

          14. Further Obligations of the Executive.

                    (a) Competition.  The Executive agrees that, in the event of
          any Covered  Termination  where the  Executive  is entitled to Accrued
          Benefits and the Termination  Payment,  the Executive shall not, for a
          period expiring twelve months after the Termination Date,  without the
          prior  written   approval  of  the   Company's   Board  of  Directors,
          participate  in the  management of, be employed by or own any business
          enterprise  at a location  within the United  States  that  engages in
          substantial  competition with MGIC, where such  enterprise's  revenues
          from any such  competitive  activities  amount  to 10% or more of such
          enterprise's  net revenues and sales for its most  recently  completed
          fiscal year; provided,  however, that nothing in this Subsection 14(a)
          shall prohibit the Executive from owning stock or other  securities of
          a competitor  amounting  to less than five percent of the  outstanding
          capital stock of such competitor.

                    (b)  Confidentiality.  During and following the  Executive's
          employment by the Company,  the Executive shall hold in confidence and
          not  directly or  indirectly  disclose or use or copy or make lists of
          any  confidential  information  or  proprietary  data  of the  Company
          (including that of the Employer),  except to the extent  authorized in
          writing by the Board of  Directors  of the  Company or required by any
          court or  administrative  agency,  other  than to an  employee  of the
          Company or a person to whom  disclosure  is  reasonably  necessary  or
          appropriate  in connection  with the  performance  by the Executive of
          duties as an executive of the Company.  Confidential information shall
          not  include  any  information  known  generally  to the public or any
          information of a type not otherwise considered confidential by persons
          engaged  in the same  business  or a  business  similar to that of the
          Company.  All  records,  files,  documents  and  materials,  or copies
          thereof,  relating to the business of the Company  which the Executive
          shall prepare,  or use, or come into contact with, shall be and remain
          the sole property of the Company and shall be promptly returned to the
          Company upon termination of employment with the Company.

          15.  Expenses  and  Interest.  If,  after a Change in  Control  of the
Company, (i) a dispute arises with respect to the enforcement of the Executive's
rights under this Agreement, (ii) any arbitration proceeding shall be brought to
enforce or interpret any provision  contained  herein or to recover  damages for
breach hereof,  or (iii) any legal  proceeding  shall be brought with respect to
the arbitration  provisions  hereof,  in each case so long as, and to the extent
that, the Executive  prevails in such  proceeding,  the Executive  shall recover
from the  Company  the  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  necessary  costs  and
disbursements  incurred  as a  result  of  the  dispute,  arbitration  or  legal
proceeding as to which the Executive has prevailed ("Expenses"), and prejudgment
interest on any  arbitration  award obtained by the Executive  calculated at the
rate of interest announced by Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A., Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(or its successor), from time to time at its prime or base lending rate from the
date that payments to him or her should have been made under this Agreement. Any
dispute as to the  reasonableness  of the  Expenses  incurred,  or the extent to
which the Executive has prevailed, shall be resolved by the arbitrator.

          16. Payment Obligations Absolute.  The Company's obligation during and
after the  Employment  Period to pay the  Executive  the amounts and to make the
benefit  and  other   arrangements   provided   herein  shall  be  absolute  and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without
limitation, any setoff, counterclaim,  recoupment,  defense or other right which
the Company may have against him or anyone  else.  Except as provided in Section
15 of this Agreement, all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid
without  notice or demand.  Each and every payment made hereunder by the Company
shall be final, and the Company will not seek to recover all or any part of such
payment from the Executive,  or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any
reason whatsoever.

          17. Successors.

                    (a)  If the  Company  sells,  assigns  or  transfers  all or
          substantially  all of its  business and assets to any Person or if the
          Company merges into or consolidates  or otherwise  combines (where the
          Company does not survive such  combination)  with any Person (any such
          event, a "Sale of Business"), then the Company shall assign all of its
          right,  title and  interest in this  Agreement  as of the date of such
          event to such  Person,  and the Company  shall cause such  Person,  by
          written agreement (an "Assumption Agreement"), to expressly assume and
          agree to perform from and after the date of such assignment all of the
          terms,  conditions and  provisions  imposed by this Agreement upon the
          Company,  and the Assumption  Agreement shall be in form and substance
          reasonably satisfactory to the Executive (but if at the time of a Sale
          of Business, the chief executive officer of the Company or any officer
          of Company who is among the next four highest ranking  officers of the
          Company has a Key Executive  Employment and Severance  Agreement,  and
          any of such officers approves the Assumption Agreement, the Executive,
          if not one of such five officers, shall be deemed to have approved the
          Assumption Agreement).  Failure of the Company to obtain an Assumption
          Agreement  prior to the effective  date of such Sale of Business shall
          be a breach of this Agreement  constituting  "Good Reason"  hereunder,
          except that for purposes of  implementing  the foregoing the date upon
          which  such Sale of  Business  becomes  effective  shall be deemed the
          Termination  Date.  In case of such  assignment  by the Company and of
          assumption  and agreement by such Person,  as used in this  Agreement,
          "Company"  shall  thereafter  mean  such  Person  which  executes  and
          delivers the Assumption  Agreement or which otherwise becomes bound by
          all the terms and  provisions  of this  Agreement by operation of law,
          and this  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable
          by, such Person.  The Executive  shall, in his or her  discretion,  be
          entitled  to proceed  against any or all of such  Persons,  any Person
          which  theretofore was such a successor to the Company and the Company
          (as so defined)  in any action to enforce any rights of the  Executive
          hereunder. Except as provided in this Subsection 17(a), this Agreement
          shall not be assignable by the Company.  This  Agreement  shall not be
          terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company.

                    (b) This  Agreement  and all rights of the  Executive  shall
          inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal
          or  legal  representatives,   executors,   administrators,  heirs  and
          beneficiaries.  All amounts payable to the Executive under Sections 7,
          8, 9, 10,  11, 12 and 15 hereof if the  Executive  had lived  shall be
          paid,  in the  event  of the  Executive's  death,  to the  Executive's
          estate,  heirs  and  representatives;   provided,  however,  that  the
          foregoing  shall not be  construed  to modify any terms of any benefit
          plan of the  Employer,  as such terms are in effect on the date of the
          Change in Control of the Company, that expressly govern benefits under
          such plan in the event of the Executive's death.

          18.  Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded
as  divisible,  and if any of said  provisions  or any part hereof are  declared
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,  the validity and
enforceability  of the  remainder  of such  provisions  or parts  hereof and the
applicability thereof shall not be affected thereby.

          19. Contents of Agreement; Waiver of Rights; Amendment. This Agreement
sets forth the entire  understanding  between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof,  and the Executive hereby waives all rights under any
prior or other  agreement or  understanding  between the parties with respect to
such subject matter.  Any implication to the contrary in the preceding  sentence
notwithstanding,  this Agreement  shall not affect the  Executive's  obligations
under  non-competition  or  confidentiality  agreement  with  the  Company,  the
Employer  or MGIC.  This  Agreement  may not be amended or  modified at any time
except by written instrument executed by the Company and the Executive.

          20.  Withholding.  The Company  shall be  entitled  to  withhold  from
amounts  to be paid to the  Executive  hereunder  any  federal,  state  or local
withholding  or other taxes or charges which it is from time to time required to
withhold;  provided,  that the amount so  withheld  shall not exceed the minimum
amount  required to be withheld by law. The Company shall be entitled to rely on
an opinion of the  National  Tax  Counsel  if any  question  as to the amount or
requirement of any such withholding shall arise.

          21.  Certain  Rules of  Construction.  No party shall be considered as
being responsible for the drafting of this Agreement for the purpose of applying
any rule construing  ambiguities  against the drafter or otherwise.  No draft of
this Agreement  shall be taken into account in construing  this  Agreement.  Any
provision of this  Agreement  which  requires an  agreement in writing  shall be
deemed to require that the writing in question be signed by the Executive and an
authorized representative of the Company.

          22.  Governing  Law;  Resolution of Disputes.  This  Agreement and the
rights  and  obligations  hereunder  shall  be  governed  by  and  construed  in
accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin  applicable to contracts made
therein  between  residents  thereof.  Any dispute arising out of this Agreement
shall be determined by arbitration  under the rules of the American  Arbitration
Association then in effect.  The venue for the arbitration (and any legal action
to enforce the foregoing obligation to arbitrate) shall be Milwaukee,  Wisconsin
or, if the Executive is not then residing or working in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin
metropolitan  area, in the judicial district  encompassing the city in which the
Executive resides;  provided, that, if the Executive is not then residing in the
United States, the election of the Executive with respect to such venue shall be
either Milwaukee,  Wisconsin or in the judicial district  encompassing that city
in the United States among the thirty cities having the largest  population  (as
determined  by the most  recent  United  States  Census  data  available  at the
Termination Date) which is closest to the Executive's residence. For purposes of
any legal action to enforce the foregoing  obligation to arbitrate,  the parties
consent to  personal  jurisdiction  in each trial  court in the  selected  venue
having subject matter jurisdiction notwithstanding their residence or situs, and
each party  irrevocably  consents  to service of process in the manner  provided
hereunder for the giving of notices.

          23.  Notice.  Notices  given  pursuant to this  Agreement  shall be in
writing and, except as otherwise  provided by Subsection 13(d) hereof,  shall be
deemed given when actually

                                      -18-

          24. No Waiver.  No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by
the other party of, or  compliance  with,  any  condition  or  provision of this
Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar
or  dissimilar  provisions  or  conditions  at the  same  time or any  prior  or
subsequent time.

          25. Headings. The headings herein contained are for reference only and

designate those employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary to whom Options
shall be granted. The Board, or the Committee if so empowered by the Board, may

grant such Options solely or partially to new participants. In designating
participants, the Board, or the Committee if so empowered by the Board, shall
also determine the number of shares to be optioned to each such participant.

                                   SECTION 6.
                                      STOCK

         The Stock to be optioned under this Plan shall consist of authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock. Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of

of the Plan. In the event that any outstanding Option under the Plan for any
reason expires or is terminated prior to the exercise thereof, the shares of
Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option shall continue
to be reserved for Options under the Plan and may be optioned hereunder.

         Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan from time to time during a

                                   SECTION 8.
                                     PAYMENT

         Optionees may pay for shares upon exercise of Options granted pursuant

                                   SECTION 9.
                         TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

         Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a
written stock option agreement (the "Option Agreement"). The Option Agreement
shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board or the
Committee (if so empowered by the Board) and may vary from Optionee to Optionee;
provided, however, that each Optionee and each Option Agreement shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

         (a)      Number of Shares and Option Exercise Price. The Option
                  Agreement shall state the total number of shares covered by
                  the Option. The option exercise price per share shall not be
                  less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value
                  of the Common Stock per share on the date the Board, or the
                  Committee if so empowered by the Board, grants the Option;
                  provided, however, that, if the Option granted is an Incentive
                  Stock Option and the Optionee owns stock possessing more than
                  ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
                  classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or any
                  Subsidiary, the option exercise price per share of such
                  Incentive Stock Option granted to such Optionee shall not be
                  less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
                  Value of the Common Stock per share on the date of the grant
                  of the Option. The Board, or the Committee if so empowered by
                  the Board, shall have full authority and discretion in
                  establishing the option exercise price and shall be fully
                  protected in so doing.

         (b)      Term and Exercisability of Options. The term during which any
                  Option granted under the Plan may be exercised shall be
                  established in each case by the Board, or the Committee if so
                  empowered by the Board, but in no event shall any Incentive
                  Stock Option be exercisable during a term of more than ten
                  (10) years after the date on which it is granted (or five (5)

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  years from the date of grant for Incentive Stock Options
                  granted to an Optionee who owns, directly or indirectly, more
                  than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
                  stock of the Company or of its parent or any Subsidiary). The
                  Option Agreements shall state when the Options become
                  exercisable and shall also state the maximum term during which
                  the Options may be exercised. In the event an Option is
                  exercisable immediately, the manner of exercise of the Option
                  in the event it is not exercised in full immediately shall be
                  specified in the Option Agreement. The Board, or the Committee
                  if so empowered by the Board, may accelerate the exercise date
                  of any Option granted hereunder which is not immediately
                  exercisable as of the date of grant.

         (c)      Other Provisions. The Option Agreement authorized under this
                  Section 9 shall contain such other provisions as the Board, or
                  the Committee if so empowered by the Board, shall deem
                  advisable. Any Option Agreement relating to an Incentive Stock
                  Option shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon
                  the exercise of the Option as shall be necessary to ensure
                  that such Option will be considered as an Incentive Stock
                  Option. Any Option Agreement relating to a Non-Qualified Stock
                  Option shall expressly provide that such Option shall not be
                  treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

         (d)      Holding Period/Withholding. The disposition of any shares of
                  Common Stock acquired by an Optionee pursuant to the exercise
                  of an Option described above shall not be eligible for the
                  favorable taxation treatment of Section 422 of the Internal
                  Revenue Code unless any shares so acquired are held by the
                  Optionee for at least two (2) years from the date of the
                  granting of the Option under which the shares were acquired
                  and at least one (1) year after the acquisition of such shares
                  pursuant to the exercise of such Option, or such other periods
                  as may be prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code (the
                  "Holding Periods"). Prior to making a disposition (as defined
                  in Section 424(c) of the Code) of any shares of Common Stock
                  acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option
                  granted under the Plan before the expiration of the Holding
                  Periods, the Optionee shall send written notice to the Company
                  of the proposed date of such disposition, the number of shares
                  to be disposed of, the amount of proceeds to be received from
                  such disposition and any other information relating to such
                  disposition that the Company may reasonably request. The right
                  of an Optionee to make any such disposition shall be
                  conditioned on the receipt by the Company of all amounts
                  necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding
                  and employment-related tax requirements attributable to such
                  disposition. The Board shall have the right, in its sole
                  discretion, to endorse the certificates representing such
                  shares with a legend restricting transfer and to cause a stop
                  transfer order to be entered with the Company's transfer agent
                  until such time as the

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  Company receives the amounts necessary to satisfy such
                  withholding and employment-related tax requirements or until
                  the expiration Holding Periods.

                                   SECTION 10.
                               TRANSFER OF OPTION

         No Option shall be transferable, in whole or in part, by the Optionee
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, during the
Optionee's lifetime, the Option may be exercised only by the Optionee. If the
Optionee shall attempt any transfer of any Option granted under the Plan during
the Optionee's lifetime, such transfer shall be void and the Option, to the
extent not fully exercised, shall terminate.

                                   SECTION 11.
                    RECAPITALIZATION, SALE, MERGER, EXCHANGE,
                          CONSOLIDATION OR LIQUIDATION

         (a) In the event of an increase or decrease in the number of shares of
Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the
payment of a stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of
shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company,
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and the
price per share thereof shall be equitably adjusted by the Board of Directors to
reflect such change. Additional shares which may be credited pursuant to such
adjustment shall be subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to the
shares with respect to which the adjustment relates.

         (b) Upon a "Change of Control" of the Company, all outstanding Options
shall immediately vest and become exercisable. A "Change of Control" shall be
deemed to have occurred if (i) any person or entity becomes the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of securities representing in excess of fifty
percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company except for (x) persons
who, on March 1, 1998, together with their respective affiliates or associates
(as such terms are defined under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law) own securities representing in excess of forty percent (40%) of the voting
securities of the Company; or (y) any affiliates or associates identified in (x)
to which any person identified in (x) transfers all or any portion of such
voting securities (the persons in (x) and (y) being referred to herein as a "40%
Holder"); (ii) the Company sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially
all of its assets in a single transaction or series of related transactions;
(iii) persons who, at the beginning of any twelve (12) consecutive month period,
constitute the Board of Directors of the Company, at the end of such period
cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, unless
(a) prior to September 9, 2000, the nomination or appointment of each new
Director was approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the Directors
then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of such period or (b)
on or after September 9, 2000, the nomination or appointment of each new
Director was approved or is ratified by a then 40% Holder or by any Director
authorized by such 40%

                                       6

Holder to exercise such approval (either pursuant to that certain Amended and
Restated Governance Agreement, dated as of November 25, 1997, among the Company,
LIH Holdings, LLC and LIH Holdings II, LLC, or otherwise), or (iv) the Company
merges or combines with or into any other person or entity and the stockholders
of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the merger own less than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity
upon consummation of the merger.

                                   SECTION 12.
                               INVESTMENT PURPOSE

         No shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Plan unless
and until there has been compliance, in the opinion of the Company's counsel,
with all applicable legal requirements, including without limitation, those
relating to securities laws and stock exchange listing requirements. As a
condition to the issuance of Common Stock to an Optionee, the Board, or the
Committee if so empowered by the Board, may require the Optionee to (a)
represent that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired for investment and
not resale and to make such other representations as the Board, or the Committee
if so empowered by the Board, shall deem necessary or appropriate to qualify the
issuance of the shares as exempt from the Securities Act of 1933 and any other
applicable securities laws, and (b) represent that the Optionee shall not
dispose of the shares of Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act of 1933
and any other applicable securities laws. The Company reserves the right to
place a legend on any stock certificate issued upon exercise of an option
granted pursuant to the plan to assure compliance with this Section 12.

                                   SECTION 13.
                             RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER

         An Optionee (or the Optionee's successor or successors) shall have no
rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until
the date of the issuance of a stock certificate evidencing such shares (except
as otherwise provided in Section 11 above). No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date such stock certificate is actually issued (except as otherwise provided
in Section 11).

                                   SECTION 14.
                              AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         The Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, insofar as
permitted by law, suspend or discontinue the Plan or review or amend it in any
respect; provided, however, that no such revision or amendment shall impair the
terms and conditions of any Option which is outstanding on the date of such
revision or amendment to the material detriment of the Optionee without the
consent of the Optionee.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such revision or amendment shall be effective,
without approval of the stockholders of the Company, if approval of stockholders
is then required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor
rule or Section 422 of the Code or under the applicable rules or regulations of
any securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

                                   SECTION 15.
                        NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION

         The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee
to exercise such Option. Further, the granting of an Option hereunder shall not
impose upon the Company, or any Subsidiary any obligation to retain the Optionee
in its employ for any period.

                                   SECTION 16.
                 RIGHT TO WITHHOLD; PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING TAXES

         The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of
the Optionee (or from other amounts which may be due and owing to the Optionee
from the Company) or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally
required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local
withholding and employment-related tax requirements (i) attributable to the
grant or exercise of an Option or to a disqualifying disposition of stock
received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, or (ii) otherwise incurred
with respect to an Option, or (b) require the Optionee promptly to remit the
amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action with respect
to the exercise of an Option or the issuance of any stock certificate either to
the Optionee or any transferee.
