SECTION 2

DEFINITIONS

The following words and phrases shall have the following meanings unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

2.1 “Actual Award” means as to any Performance Period, the actual award (if any) payable to a Participant for the Performance Period. Each Actual Award is determined by the Payout Formula for the Performance Period, subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.6 to eliminate or reduce the award otherwise determined by the Payout Formula.

2.2 “Adjusted Book Value” means “Book Value” excluding certain non-operating items that are considered outside the control of management, as determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 2.38 hereunder.

2.3 “Affiliate” means each corporation, trade or business which is, together with the Company, a member of a controlled group of corporations or an affiliated service group or under common control (within the meaning of section 414(b), (c) or (m) of the Code), but only for the period during which such other entity is so affiliated with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in applying sections 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) of the Code for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under section 414(b) of the Code and in applying Treasury regulation section 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or businesses that are under common control for purposes of section 414(c) of the Code, the phrase “at least 50 percent” will be used instead of “at least 80 percent” at each place it appears in such sections.

2.4 “Base Salary” means as to any Performance Period, the Participant’s earned salary during the Performance Period. Such Base Salary shall be before both (a) deductions for taxes or benefits, and (b) deferrals of compensation pursuant to Company-sponsored plans and Affiliate-sponsored plans.

2.5 “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.6 “Book Value” means as of a particular date, the Company’s total stockholders’ equity on such date, as derived from the Company’s financial statements for the period ended on such date.

2.8 “Business Quality” means as to any Performance Period, the objective and measurable goals approved by the Committee that relate to the credit quality of one or more business segments of the Company and/or its Affiliates or of their insurance portfolios.

2.9 “Capital” means the sum of the par value of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and the paid-in capital of the Company, including cash derived from the issuance of debt and/or equity as well as other sources. “Capital” may also mean, in the discretion of the Committee, the capital resources of the Company available to meet its commitments.

2.10 “Cash Flow” means as to any Performance Period, cash generated from operating activities.

2.11 “Cash Operating Earnings” means as to any Performance Period, operating earnings adjusted for certain non-cash items such as, but not necessarily limited to, the amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets.

2.12 “Change of Control” means a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in the effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as determined in accordance with section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and Treasury regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(5), and as set forth below:

(a) A change in the ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (a “Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company shall not be considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company (or to cause a change in the effective control of the Company within the meaning of subsection (b) below). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one Person as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property shall be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this subsection (a). This subsection (a) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and the Company’s stock remains outstanding after the transaction;

(b) A change in the effective control of the Company occurs on the date that either: (1) any one Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person) ownership of the stock of the Company possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or (2) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election. A change in effective control also may occur in a transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a Change of Control under subsection (a) above or (c) below. For purposes of this subsection (b), if any one Person is considered to effectively control the Company within the meaning of this subsection (b), the acquisition of additional control of the Company by such Person shall not be considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company (or to cause a change in the ownership of the Company within the meaning of subsection (a) above); or

(c) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that any one Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. However, there is no Change of Control under this subsection (c) when there is a transfer of assets of the Company to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the Company immediately after the transfer, as provided below. A transfer of assets by the Company shall not be treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to: (1) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock; (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in clause (3) above. For purposes of this subsection (c) and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets.

For purposes of this Section 2.12, persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the Company at the same time. However, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company, and if a person, including an entity, owns stock in both the Company and another corporation and the Company and the other corporation enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in the Company before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Section 318(a) of the Code also applies to determine stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option); provided, however, that if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury regulation sections 1.83-3(b) and (j)), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.

2.13 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Reference to a specific section of the Code or regulation thereunder shall include such section or regulation, any valid regulation or other Treasury Department or Internal Revenue Service guidance promulgated thereunder, and any comparable provision of any future legislation or regulation amending, supplementing or superseding such section or regulation.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, also may designate as Participants one or more individuals (by name or position) who are expected to become Employees during a Performance Period. Participation in the Plan is in the sole discretion of the Committee, and shall be determined on a Performance Period by Performance Period basis. Accordingly, an Employee who is a Participant for a given Performance Period in no way is guaranteed or assured of being selected for participation in any subsequent Performance Period.

3.2 Determination of Performance Goals.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish the Performance Goals for each Participant for the Performance Period. Such Performance Goals shall be set forth in writing.

3.3 Determination of Target Awards.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish a Target Award for each Participant. Each Participant’s Target Award shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and each Target Award shall be set forth in writing.

3.4 Determination of Payout Formula or Formulae.  On or prior to the Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish a Payout Formula or Formulae for purposes of determining the Actual Award (if any) payable to each Participant. Each Payout Formula shall (a) be in writing, (b) be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals, (c) provide for the payment of a Participant’s Target Award if the Performance Goals for the Performance Period are achieved at the predetermined level, and (d) provide for the payment of an Actual Award greater than or less than the Participant’s Target Award, depending upon the extent to which actual performance exceeds or falls below the Performance Goals. Notwithstanding the preceding, in no event shall a Participant’s Actual Award(s) exceed the Maximum Award for the applicable period.

3.5 Date for Determinations.  The Committee shall make all determinations under Sections 3.1 through 3.4 on or before the Determination Date.

3.6 Determination of Actual Awards.  After the end of each Performance Period the Committee shall certify in writing (for example, in its meeting minutes) the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period were achieved or exceeded, as determined by the Committee. The Actual Award for each Participant shall be determined by applying the Payout Formula to the level of actual performance that has been certified in writing by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may (a) other than as provided in Section 3.7, eliminate or reduce the Actual Award payable to any Participant below that which otherwise would be payable under the Payout Formula, and (b) determine whether or not any Participant will receive an Actual Award in the event the Participant incurs a Termination of Service prior to the date the Actual Award is to be paid pursuant Section 4.2 below.

3.7 Special Rule for Change of Control.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, all then ongoing Performance Periods shall be deemed terminated immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control and 100% of Target Awards shall be deemed to be earned and shall be paid to the Participants no later than two and one-half months after the Change of Control.

SECTION 4

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

4.1 Right to Receive Payment.  Each Actual Award that may become payable under the Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company or the Affiliate that employs the Participant (as the case may be), as determined by the Committee. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right to payment of an Actual Award other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled.

4.2 Timing of Payment.  Subject to Section 3.6, payment of each Actual Award shall be made as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the applicable Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and except as provided in Section 4.4 (relating to death and Disability), a Participant must be employed by the Company or any Affiliate on the date of payment to receive a payment under the Plan.

4.3 Form of Payment.  Each Actual Award shall be paid in cash (or its equivalent) in a single lump sum. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may declare any Actual Award, in whole or in part, payable in restricted stock granted under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. The number of Shares of restricted stock granted shall be determined by dividing the cash amount foregone by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that the cash payment otherwise would have been made. Any such restricted stock may be subject to a vesting schedule (not to exceed two calendar years) determined by the Committee, provided that accelerated vesting automatically shall occur upon death, Disability, Retirement, Change of Control, or involuntary Termination of Service without cause.

4.4 Payment in the Event of Death or Disability.  If a Participant dies or becomes Disabled prior to the payment of an Actual Award (determined under Section 3.6) that was scheduled to be paid to him or her prior to death or Disability for a prior Performance Period, the Award shall be paid to his or her designated beneficiary or to the Participant, as the case may be, subject to the Committee’s discretion to reduce or eliminate any Actual Award otherwise payable.

Each member of the Committee shall qualify as an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to when during or after a Performance Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any individual’s employment with or without cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

6.5 Successors.  All obligations of the Company and any Affiliate under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company and/or such Affiliate, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company or such Affiliate.

6.6 Beneficiary Designations

(a) Designation. Each Participant may, pursuant to such uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures as the Committee may specify from time to time, designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive any Actual Award payable to the Participant at the time of his or her death. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 6.6 shall be operative only after (and for so long as) the Committee determines (on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) to permit the designation of Beneficiaries.

(b) Changes. A Participant may designate different Beneficiaries (or may revoke a prior Beneficiary designation) at any time by delivering a new designation (or revocation of a prior designation) in like manner. Any designation or revocation shall be effective only if it is received by the Committee. However, when so received, the designation or revocation shall be effective as of the date the designation or revocation is executed (whether or not the Participant still is living), but without prejudice to the Committee on account of any payment made before the change is recorded. The last effective designation received by the Committee shall supersede all prior designations.

(c) Failed Designation. If the Committee does not make this Section 6.6 operative or if Participant dies without having effectively designated a Beneficiary, the Participant’s Account shall be payable to the general beneficiary shown on the records of the Employer. If no Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s Account shall be payable to his or her estate.

6.7 Nontransferability of Awards.  No award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided in Section 6.6. All rights with respect to an award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant.

6.8 Deferrals.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash that would otherwise be delivered to a Participant under the Plan. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Committee, the rules and procedures for any deferral elections and deferrals shall be designed to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
