                                PROXY STATEMENT

   This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed on or
about April 23, 2001, in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf
of the Board of Directors of The PMI Group, Inc. ("TPG"), a Delaware
corporation, for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 9:00
a.m., Pacific Time, May 17, 2001, at 601 Montgomery Street, 17th Floor, San
Francisco, California and at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the
"Meeting").

   TPG's principal executive office is located at 601 Montgomery Street, San
Francisco, California 94111. The telephone number at that address is (415)
788-7878.

   RECORD DATE AND SHARES OUTSTANDING. The record date for determining
stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is March 30,
2001, (the "Record Date"). As of that date, approximately 44,431,259 shares of
common stock were outstanding.

   REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES. Proxies are revocable by written notice to the
Secretary of TPG at any time prior to their exercise stating that the proxy is
revoked and may also be revoked by signing and delivering a proxy with a later
date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

   VOTING AND SOLICITATION. For each matter that may come before the Meeting,
every stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock
registered in the stockholder's name on the Record Date. The Chairman of the
Board will announce the closing of the polls during the Annual Meeting.
Proxies must be received prior to the closing of the polls in order to be
counted. Instead of submitting a signed proxy card, stockholders may submit
their proxies by telephone using the control number and instructions
accompanying the proxy card. Telephonic voting may not be available to
stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, nominee, fiduciary or
other custodian. The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of
TPG. If the proxy is properly executed and returned, and choices are
specified, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the Meeting in
accordance with those instructions. If no choices are specified, a properly
executed proxy will be voted as follows:

   FOR -- election to the Board of the twelve individuals nominated by the
Board of Directors;

   FOR -- ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent
auditors for 2001; and

   FOR -- approval of the amendment and restatement of TPG's Equity Incentive
Plan.

   Any other business that may properly come before the meeting will be voted
in the discretion of the proxy holder.

   The twelve nominees who receive the most votes will be elected to the
twelve open directorships even if they get less than a majority of the votes.
For approval of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors (Item 2),
more shares must be voted "for" than "against" such proposal. For approval of
the amendment and restatement of TPG's Equity Incentive Plan (Item 3), more
shares must be voted "for" than "against" such proposal.

   Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by the
persons appointed by TPG to act as election inspectors for the Meeting. The
election inspectors will treat abstentions as shares that are present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

   While there is no definitive statutory or case law authority in Delaware as
to the proper treatment of abstentions, the Company believes that abstentions
should be counted for purposes of determining both (i) the presence or absence
of the quorum for the transaction of business and (ii) the total number of
votes cast with respect to an Item. Accordingly, abstentions will have the
same effect as a vote against Items 2 and 3. Broker non-votes (that is, if the
broker holding shares of a stockholder in street name does not vote with
respect to an

                                       1


item) will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum for the transaction of business, but will not be counted for purposes
of determining the number of votes cast with respect to Item 2 and 3.

   The cost of this solicitation will be borne by TPG. MacKenzie Partners,
Inc. has been retained by TPG to assist in the solicitation of proxies at an
estimated fee of $4,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. In
addition, TPG may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing
beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation
material to such beneficial owners. Proxies also may be solicited by certain
of TPG's Directors, officers and employees, personally or by telephone or
telegram, without additional compensation.

   TPG's Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000, has been mailed with this document. Stockholders should refer to that
Annual Report for financial and other information about the activities of TPG.
However, the Annual Report to Stockholders is not incorporated by reference
into this Proxy Statement and is not to be deemed a part of this Proxy
Statement.

ITEM 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

   NOMINEES FOR ELECTION. A board of twelve Directors is to be elected at the
Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies
received by them for the twelve nominees named below. All of the nominees,
except for Mariann Byerwalter and Louis G. Lower II, are presently Directors
of TPG. Each person elected shall serve a one-year term as a Director until
the next Annual Meeting or until a successor is duly elected and qualified or

contrary voting instructions. Broker non-votes, abstentions and instructions
on the accompanying proxy card to withhold authority to vote for one or more
of the nominees will be disregarded in the calculation of a plurality of the
votes cast. TPG's bylaws and proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission provide that stockholders may submit nominations for
Directors at an Annual Meeting if they comply with such requirements. Any
stockholder submitted nomination for director must have been delivered to or
mailed and received by TPG's Secretary at TPG's principal executive offices
not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the
close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting to be considered timely. Any nomination not
timely received will not be considered.

   Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and has
indicated a willingness to serve if elected. However, if at the Annual Meeting
any of the nominees named above is not available to serve as a Director (an

voted for the election as Directors for such other person or persons as the
proxy holders may designate, unless the Board of Directors, in its discretion,
reduces the number of Directors.

   Directors' Stock Ownership Guidelines. In order to more closely align the
interest of Non-Employee Directors with those of TPG's stockholders, the Board
of Directors established stock ownership guidelines for all Non-Employee
Directors. The desired level of stock ownership is to be achieved over a
period of five years from the date of first election as a director. Non-
Employee Directors are expected to own TPG common stock that has a market
value equal to a minimum of approximately $110,000, or five times a director's
annual retainer fee. Stock owned for purposes of the guidelines include: (a)
shares purchased in the open market or upon the exercise of options, including
shares held in a retirement plan, (b) stock awarded under The PMI Group, Inc.
Stock Plan For Non-Employee Directors, (c) stock awarded under The PMI Group,
Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, (d) TPG common stock equivalents held in The PMI
Group, Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan ("Directors' Deferred
Compensation Plan"), and (e) the market value of vested stock options which
have an exercise price below the current market price for TPG common stock. As
of March 30, 2001, Non-Employee Directors Dr. Castle, Clark, Hedien, Ocampo,
Roach, Dr. Rosen, Thomas, Widener and Zech have met approximately 711%, 718%,
658%, 279%, 858%, 646%, 3689%, 552%, and 380%, respectively, of the stock
ownership guidelines based on the closing price of TPG common stock on March
30, 2001 of $64.98 per share.

   Directors' Compensation and Benefits. Directors who are employees of TPG or
its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for their services as
Directors. Each Non-Employee Director receives fees for his or her service as
a Director. Each Non-Employee Director receives an annual retainer of $22,000.
The Non-Employee Directors who serve as Committee Chairs for the Audit and
Compensation Committee receive an additional annual retainer of $6,000. The
Non-Employee Director who serves as Committee Chair for the Governance and
Nominating Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000.
Directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses to attend meetings. Non-
Employee Directors also receive initial and annual grants of stock options and
restricted shares of TPG Common Stock. The following table sets forth the fees
and other compensation benefits paid to all Non-Employee Directors.

/1/ Under the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, each Non-Employee
    Director may defer receipt of his or her retainer fees. The minimum
    permitted deferral is $5,000. All amounts deferred are deemed to be
    invested in phantom shares of TPG's common stock. On any date, the value
    of each share of phantom stock will equal the fair market value of a share
    of common stock, including reinvestment of any dividends. At the time when
    a Director makes a deferral election, he or she also must elect the time
    and method for payment of the deferred amounts. Phantom shares of TPG's
    common stock will be paid in cash.

/2/ Granted in the initial year as a Director, the shares are prorated (based
    on months of service between June 1 and May 31) and are awarded as soon as
    administratively practicable after the Director joins the Board. The stock
    option vests in three equal installments on the first, second and third
    anniversaries of the grant. The exercise price is equal to 100 percent of
    the fair market value on the date of grant.

/3/ Stock options are granted as of the first business day in June of each
    year (assuming that he or she remains an eligible Non-Employee Director).
    The exercise price of each such option is equal to 100 percent of the fair
    market value on the date of grant of the shares covered by the option. The
    options granted become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant
    date. All options granted to Non-Employee Directors have a term of not
    greater than 10 years from the date of grant. If a Director terminates
    service on the Board prior to an option's normal expiration date, the
    period of exercisability of the option may be shorter, depending upon the
    reason for the termination.

/4/ Granted for each full year of service, prorated for service of less than
    one year. Shares of restricted stock are awarded as of the first business
    day in June of each year (assuming that he or she remains an eligible
    Non-Employee Director). Each Non-Employee Director may receive only one
    award of common stock during any calendar year. The number of shares of
    restricted stock awarded to any Non-Employee Director will be reduced as
    necessary so that the fair market value of the shares on the date of award
    does not exceed $30,000. Any shares of restricted stock will vest six
    months after the applicable grant date. Each Non-Employee Director also
    receives an annual cash payment equal to the estimated tax liability on
    the award of restricted stock, including taxes payable on the amount of
    the tax cash payment.

/1/ The options have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value
    of a share of common stock on the grant date and vest in three equal
    installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant.
    The required exercise price and tax withholding may be paid in cash and/or
    shares of common stock that would otherwise have been received on
    exercise.
/2/ Represents percentage of total options to purchase common stock granted
    under The PMI Group, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan ("Equity Incentive Plan")

/3/ Realizable values are reported net of the option exercise price. The
    dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at the
    5% and 10% rates (determined from the price at the date of grant, not the
    stock's current market value) set by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission and therefore are not intended to forecast possible future
    appreciation, if any, of TPG's stock price. Actual gains, if any, on stock
    option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common
    stock as well as the optionholder's continued employment through the
    vesting period. The potential realizable value calculation assumes that
    the optionholder waits until the end of the option term to exercise the
    option.
/4/ Represents reload options received upon the exercise of stock options in
    accordance with original grant. Reload options have the same provisions as
    the underlying options except for the exercise price and vesting dates.

   Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards. No performance share awards or any other
long-term incentive plan awards, except for stock option grants, were made to
the Named Executive Officers during 2000.

   Change of Control Arrangements. The Equity Incentive Plan and the Officer's
Deferred Compensation Plan, both provide that upon a Change of Control, all
outstanding stock options, restricted stock, performance shares and other
common stock equivalents shall become 100% vested and immediately exercisable.
Under the Equity Incentive Plan, "Change of Control" generally means the
earlier to occur of: (a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group of
20% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of TPG (excluding
acquisition directly from TPG, or by any employee benefit plan sponsored or
maintained by TPG); (b) for any reason if the current Board members do not
constitute at least a majority of the Board (excluding individuals whose
election to the Board was approved by the current Board); (c) consummation by
TPG of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of TPG or the acquisition of assets
of another entity; or (d) approval by the stockholders of TPG of a complete
liquidation or dissolution of TPG.

   TPG has also entered into Change of Control Employment Agreements
("Employment Agreements") with certain senior officers of TPG, including
Messrs. Haughton, Smith, Seaman, Lorenzen, and Shuster (the "Executives"),
each Employment Agreement originally dated as of February 12, 1998. TPG
believes it is imperative to be able to maintain a stable and competent
management base, and that the continued success of TPG depends, to a
significant degree, on the skills and competence of its senior officers. The
Employment Agreements are intended to assure that TPG will have the continued
dedication of its senior officers by diminishing the inevitable distraction of
such officers by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks arising from
the possibility, threat or occurrence of a change of control of TPG.
Generally, severance benefits will be triggered under the Employment
Agreements if a change of control occurs and the Executive's employment is
terminated (a) by the Executive for "Good Reason" or (b) by TPG other than for
"Cause," "Death" or "Disability," as defined in the Employment Agreements
during the three year period following a "Change of Control". Under the
Employment Agreements, "Change of Control," generally means (a) the
acquisition by any individual, entity or group of 20% or more of the then
outstanding shares of common stock of TPG (excluding acquisition directly from
TPG, or by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by TPG); (b) for
any reason the current Board members do not constitute at least a majority of
the Board; (c) consummation by TPG of a reorganization, merger or
consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of TPG or the acquisition of assets of another entity unless, following
such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding

                                      12


Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock
and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be,
of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination; or (d) approval
by the stockholders of TPG of a complete liquidation or dissolution of TPG.
Payments and benefits include: a lump-sum cash payment equal to up to three
times (depending on the senior officer involved) base salary and the greater
of (i) the highest bonus earned during any of the three fiscal years preceding
the change of control or (ii) the bonus earned during the last fiscal year
prior to termination of employment; plus an amount equal to the difference
between the aggregate benefit under the Retirement Plan and the Supplemental
Employee Retirement Plan benefit which the Executive would have accrued
(whether or not vested) had the Executive's employment continued for up to
three years (depending on the senior officer involved) after the date of
termination, and the actual vested benefit under such plans as of the date of
the Executive's termination of employment, except that Executives aged 50 or
over shall be deemed fully eligible for retiree health benefits; continuation
of welfare benefit plan coverage for up to three years (depending on the
senior officer involved); and outplacement services not to exceed 15% of base
salary. Under certain circumstances, a portion of the present value of the
benefits payable under the Employment Agreement or upon the acceleration of
the vesting of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock and performance
shares could be subject to a 20% excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code
and be nondeductible by TPG. TPG has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to
reimburse the Executives for any such excise taxes, together with any
additional excise or income taxes resulting from such reimbursement.

   Executive Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines. The Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors established stock ownership guidelines for TPG's senior
executive officers. The desired level of stock ownership is to be achieved
over a period of five years from the date of becoming an executive officer.
Executive officers are expected to own TPG common stock which has a market
value equal to a minimum range from one to three times such executive's annual
base salary. Stock owned for purposes of the guidelines include: (a) shares
purchased in the open market, or upon the exercise of options; (b) shares held
in a retirement plan, including TPG common stock fund units held under The PMI
Group, Inc., Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan ("401(k) Plan"); (c) restricted
stock awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan; (d) TPG common stock
equivalents held in the Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, and (e) the market
value of vested stock options which have an exercise price below the current
market price for TPG common stock. As of March 30, 2001, Messrs. Haughton,
Smith, Seaman, Lorenzen, and Shuster have met approximately 739%, 686%, 535%,
943%, and 494%, respectively, of the stock ownership guidelines based on the
closing price of TPG common stock on March 30, 2001 of $64.98 per share.

   General Compensation and Benefit Plans. The Named Executive Officers
participate in certain stock option, retirement and profit-sharing plans
sponsored by TPG, some of which are intended to qualify for tax-favored
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Code"). These plans
include the Equity Incentive Plan; The PMI Group, Inc. Retirement Plan
("Retirement Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code; The PMI Group, Inc. Supplemental Employee
Retirement Plan ("SERP"), a nonqualified plan designed to provide benefits in
excess of those permitted to be provided under the Retirement Plan because of
the Code limitations described below; and The PMI Group, Inc. Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the
Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, which permits each participant to elect to
defer receipt of part or all of his or her eligible compensation on a pre-tax
basis. Under the Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, TPG makes a matching
contribution for each participant equal to 25% of the amount a participant has
deferred into the TPG common stock equivalent fund. The matching contribution
is made in TPG common stock equivalents and vests after three-years, except in
the event of a change of control, in which case the vesting is automatic. In
addition, the Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the
401(k) Plan, a defined contribution plan intended to qualify under Section
401(a) of the Code. TPG also makes matching and discretionary matching
contributions to the 401(k) Plan.

                                      13


   The pension benefit under the Retirement Plan and SERP is based on the
executive's average of his or her five highest consecutive years' compensation
in the last 10 years of service. Credited service under the Retirement Plan
includes only service after the completion of TPG's initial public offering in
April 1995 (up to a maximum of 35 years). Credited service for the SERP
includes all service with TPG, Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Allstate Insurance
Company. Benefits are computed on a straight-line annuity basis and are not
subject to deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.

   Compensation under the Retirement Plan and SERP is based upon the total
annual cash compensation paid to the participant (not to exceed $170,000 for
2000, as limited by the Code) for services rendered to PMI and its affiliates,
including pre-tax deferrals, but excluding items such as certain incentive and
long-term executive compensation plan awards, the value of stock awards and
employer contributions to profit sharing plans. Covered compensation under the
Retirement Plan in 2000 (without Code limitations) was $1,152,766, $665,200,
$502,581, $474,381, and $451,534 for Messrs. Haughton, Smith, Seaman,
Lorenzen, and Shuster, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, Messrs.
Haughton, Smith, Seaman, Lorenzen, and Shuster had approximately 31, 24, 25,
16, and 5 years of credited service, respectively, under the SERP. Messrs.
Haughton, Smith, Seaman, and Lorenzen each had 5.667 years of credited service
under the Retirement Plan. Mr. Shuster had 5.417 years of credited service
under the Retirement Plan.

   The following table indicates the annual benefits the Named Executive
Officers would receive at their normal retirement date if they continue as TPG
employees at the specified levels of compensation and for the years of
credited service under the combined formulas of the Retirement Plan and the
SERP.

                            COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
                       REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

   This report is provided by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of
the Board of Directors to assist stockholders in understanding the Committee's
objectives and procedures in establishing the compensation of TPG's Chief
Executive Officer and other senior officers of TPG.

   As members of the Committee, it is our responsibility to review and set
compensation levels of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers
of TPG, to evaluate the performance of management and to consider management
succession and related matters.

   The Committee is composed of independent, non-employee members of the Board
of Directors who are not eligible to participate in any of the executive
compensation programs of TPG. The Committee met three times in 2000. The
Committee sets the overall compensation principles of TPG and reviews the
entire program at least annually for its effectiveness. Every two years, the
Committee conducts a comprehensive review of TPG's compensation philosophy,
policies and programs for its executive officers. The purpose of this review
is to ascertain whether TPG's total compensation program remains competitive
to attract, retain and motivate skilled executives who are capable of
developing and implementing a business strategy designed to build stockholder
value. The most recent comprehensive review was completed in February 1999.

   The Committee's 2000 compensation actions and policies were based on
recommendations on TPG executive compensation practices from Hewitt Associates
LLC, an outside consulting firm that specializes in executive compensation,
internally generated information, comparative pay practice data, and its own
review of the status of the executive compensation program. As a result of its
comprehensive review, the Committee implemented changes to increase the
percentage of pay that can be earned under the annual incentive compensation
program with respect to the Chief Executive Officer and the President, and
increased the percentage of pay that can be earned under the long-term
incentive compensation program with respect to the President. In addition,
based on the results of the study, the Committee implemented base salary
increases that averaged 4.48% for the Named Executive Officers (excluding the
Chief Executive Officer) referenced in the Summary Compensation Table.

   Compensation Philosophy. TPG's compensation philosophy is to tie total
compensation for executives closely to the creation of stockholder value. TPG
seeks to pay its executives at competitive levels based on the scope of
responsibility applicable to each position. This philosophy is supported
through competitive base salaries, annual and long-term incentives. TPG's
competitors for executive talent are not necessarily the same companies that
would be included in an industry index established to compare stockholder
returns because TPG requires skills and perspectives from a broader range of
backgrounds. Thus, the comparable companies for purposes of executive
compensation are not necessarily limited to those contained in the industry
group index used in the performance comparison graph included in this Proxy
Statement.

   Base salary levels are defined as the median (50th percentile) level among
companies for which TPG competes for executive talent. In connection with the
Committee's 2000 compensation actions and policies, the Committee made
recommendations to the Board with respect to the base salaries of the CEO, the
President, Executive Vice Presidents, and any Section 16 officer or other
officer who is to receive a base salary of $240,000 or more, and such salaries
were set by the Board.

                                      15


   During 2000, the Board delegated to the Compensation Committee the
authority to set base salary levels, annual incentives and long term incentive
awards for the Company's officers earning $240,000 or more per year and to
take any and all other actions regarding such matters.

   Annual incentive awards are designed to focus management employees on key
financial measures that promote stockholder value through prudent growth and
profitability and is designed to provide market median levels of compensation
for performance. For example, the 2000 annual incentive award paid cash
amounts tied to specific financial measures supporting continued growth,
profitability and increased stockholder value. The Committee approves the
targets and TPG performance measures shortly after the beginning of each
fiscal year. The Committee certifies annually that awards payable as annual
incentives correspond to performance goals and the target level established at
the beginning of the year. TPG's independent auditors perform certain agreed-
upon incentive compensation recomputation procedures and issue a report to the
Committee of their results.

   Long-term incentives, generally stock options, reward top management for
increasing stockholder value and are designed to develop stock ownership among
key executives. Long-term incentives seek to better align the executive's
interest with those of the stockholders and are targeted to position TPG's
executives competitively between the 50th and 75th percentile of TPG's peer
group. TPG's focus on stockholder value creation is further supported by TPG's
policy for stock ownership levels for senior executives. Stock options are
awarded on an annual basis to executives and non-executive officers and key
employees of the Company and its affiliates. Stock options and other long-term
incentive awards are made under TPG's Equity Incentive Plan.

   The Committee also considers whether compensation paid to TPG's senior
executives will be fully tax deductible to TPG. Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), contains special rules regarding the
federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to the CEO and to each
of the other four most highly compensated Named Executive Officers. The
general rule is that annual compensation paid to any of these executives will
be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000 or
qualifies as "performance-based" compensation under Section 162(m). The
Committee has adopted a policy with respect to Section 162(m) which is
designed to ensure that the compensation program continues to meet all the
current tests required for compensation to be deductible for federal income
tax purposes. The Committee has the discretion to make nondeductible awards,
to the extent consistent with TPG's best interest, to reward employees for
excellent service or recruit new executives while taking into consideration
the financial effects such action may have on TPG.

   Base Salaries. In 2000, the Committee recommended increased salaries of Mr.
Haughton and other executive officers to reflect its philosophy of pay for
performance. In 2000, Mr. Haughton's salary was increased from $550,000 to
$575,000, or 4.5%. This increase was intended to make Mr. Haughton's salary
competitive with those companies with whom TPG compares itself and recognized
the record operating results in 1999.

   Annual Incentives. The 2000 annual incentive award was based upon
satisfactory performance of three TPG performance measures, which included net
operating earnings per share, market share, and the projected percentage of
pre-tax profits in 2001 from non-U.S. mortgage insurance activities. Each
factor was weighed equally. No payouts are made as an annual incentive award
unless TPG earns a threshold return on average equity that is at least four
percentage points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield for the year. The
2000 annual incentive awards for the executive officers were based solely on
achieving the three TPG performance measures.

   Mr. Haughton's annual incentive award for 2000 was based on the three TPG
performance measures. For 2000, Mr. Haughton received an annual incentive
award of $852,171, representing approximately 148.2% of his base salary.

   Long-Term Incentives. During 2000, executive officers received an annual
award of stock options that vest in three equal installments on the first,
second and third anniversaries of the grant. All stock options granted during
2000 have a per share exercise price equal to 100 percent of the fair market
value of a share of common stock on the grant date, with a maximum term of up
to 10 years. Performance shares, which are granted only to

                                      16


Senior Vice Presidents and above, are earned based on TPG's performance
against certain financial measures over a three-year period. Performance
shares are payable in shares of stock or cash, as determined by the Committee.
No performance share grants were made in 2000. In 2000, Mr. Haughton received
a performance share payout of 11,394 shares of common stock, representing
approximately 200% of his Target Award established in 1997. The other
executives received the same percentage payout of performance shares. The
performance share payout was determined by performance goals established for
the three-year cycle ending December 31, 1999 based on the average annual
increase in net operating income per share for the performance cycle and
achievement of a threshold return on average equity at least four percentage
points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield over the same period.

   In accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the
compensation levels approved by the Committee for key executives, in 2000, Mr.
Haughton was granted a stock option covering 80,000 shares in consideration of
his role and importance to TPG and to strongly align him with stockholder
objectives. The stock option granted to Mr. Haughton gives him the right to
buy 80,000 shares of TPG common stock, and vests in three equal installments
on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The stock
option has an exercise price of $37.75 per share (100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant), with a maximum term of 10 years.

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

   The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its
oversight of the Company's financial reporting process. The Board of
Directors, in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the
Committee are "independent" as required by, and meet the experience
requirements of, applicable listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange.
The Committee operates pursuant to a Charter that was last amended and
restated by the Board on February 6, 2001, a copy of which is attached to this
Proxy Statement as Appendix A. As set forth in the Charter, management of the
Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the
Company's financial statements, the Company's accounting and financial
reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure
compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The
independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company's financial
statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

   In the performance of its oversight function, the Committee has considered
and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the
independent auditors. The Committee has also discussed with the independent
auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect.
Finally, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter
from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently
in effect, and written confirmations from management with respect to any other
services provided by the auditors, has considered whether the provision of any
other services by the independent auditors to the Company is compatible with
maintaining the auditor's independence and has discussed with the auditors the
auditors' independence.

   The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the
practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of
accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence. Members
of the Committee rely without independent verification on the information
provided to them and on the representations made by management and the
independent accountants. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not
provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained
appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate
internal control and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit
Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure
that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate, that the
audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that
the Company's auditors are in fact "independent."

   Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, and
subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Committee
referred to above and in the Charter, the Committee recommended to the Board
that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

   The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of outside Directors. The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Roach,
Chair, Zech, Vice Chair, Hedien, and Dr. Rosen. No executive officer of TPG
served on the compensation committee of another entity or on any other
committee of the board of directors of another entity performing similar
functions during the last fiscal year.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires TPG's
Directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of
TPG's common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership of the common stock. Directors, officers and
more than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish
TPG with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

   Based solely upon a review of the copies of these Form 3, 4 and 5 reports
received by TPG, and certain written representations received from TPG's
directors and executive officers, TPG believes that, during 2000, all Section
16(a) filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

   None.

ITEM 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

   The Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent
public auditors to audit the financial statements of TPG for 2001. During
2000, Ernst & Young LLP audited the financial statements of TPG and performed
certain internal audit and tax related services. One or more representatives
of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. This
proposal is presented to the stockholders in order to permit them to
participate in the selection of TPG's auditors. For approval, a majority of
shares present and entitled to vote must be voted "for" this Item. Abstentions
will be counted as shares present at the meeting and will have the effect of a
vote against this Item. Broker non-votes will not be counted as shares voted
and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. If the stockholders do not
ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, the Board of Directors of TPG
will consider the appointment of other auditors. Ernst & Young LLP will also
perform internal audit and tax related services in 2001.

   Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed, or expected to be billed, by Ernst &
Young LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's
annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and
for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for that fiscal year are $261,000.

   Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees. No fees were
billed by Ernst & Young LLP for professional services rendered for information
technology services relating to financial information systems design and
implementation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

   All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed, or expected to be billed, by
Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered to the Company, other than services
described above under "Audit Fees" and "Financial Information Systems Design
and Implementation Fees," during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 are
$483,000. Of this amount, $422,000 represented fees for audit related
services.

   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP.

ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S EQUITY
        INCENTIVE PLAN

   We are asking our stockholders to approve the amended and restated Equity
Incentive Plan so that we can continue to use the Plan to achieve the
Company's goals and also continue to receive a federal income tax deduction
for certain compensation paid under the Plan. Our Board of Directors has
approved the amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan, subject to approval
from our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Approval of the amended and
restated Equity Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of
a majority of the shares of our common stock ("Shares") which are present in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions
will be counted as Shares present at the meeting and will have the effect of a
vote against this Item. Broker non-votes will not be counted as Shares voted
and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. If the stockholders
approve the amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan, it will replace the
current version of the Plan. Our named executive officers and directors have
an interest in this proposal.

   The primary changes that we are proposing to make to the Equity Incentive
Plan are to (1) increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the
Plan by 3,500,00, and (2) provide for the merger of the Company's Stock Plan
for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Plan") into the Equity Incentive
Plan.

   A total of 4,500,00 Shares previously have been reserved for issuance under
the Equity Incentive Plan and the Director Plan. As of March 30, 2001,
2,673,586 Shares were subject to outstanding awards granted under the Equity
Incentive Plan and the Director Plan, and 1,201,151 Shares remained available
for any new awards to be granted in the future.

   Our non-employee directors previously were eligible to participate in the
Director Plan pursuant to which they received automatic, non-discretionary
grants of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, and certain
cash payments. Instead, we are proposing that such grants be made under the
amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan, on substantially the same terms
and conditions as was in effect under the Director Plan. If the stockholders
approve the amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan, the Director Plan will
be merged into the Equity Incentive Plan effective as of June 1, 2000 and the
Shares that were available for future grant under the Director Plan
immediately prior to that date, the Shares subject to outstanding awards under
the Director Plan, and/or any Shares that are returned to the Director Plan
will be transferred to the Equity Incentive Plan.

   We believe strongly that the approval of the amended and restated Equity
Incentive Plan is essential to our continued success. Our employees are our
most valuable assets. Stock options and other awards such as those provided
under the Equity Incentive Plan are vital to our ability to attract and retain
outstanding and highly skilled individuals in the extremely competitive labor
markets in which we must compete. Such awards also are crucial to our ability
to motivate employees to achieve the Company's goals.

         DESCRIPTION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

   The following paragraphs provide a summary of the principal features of the
amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan and its operation. The amended and
restated Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is set forth in its entirety as
Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. The following summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to Appendix B.

   Background and Purpose of the Plan. The Plan permits the grant of the
following types of incentive awards: (1) stock options, (2) restricted stock,
(3) performance units, and (4) performance shares (individually, an "Award").
The Plan is intended to increase incentives and to encourage share ownership
on the part of eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants who
provide significant services to us. The Plan also is intended to further our
growth and profitability.

   Administration of the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The members of the
Committee must qualify as "non-employee directors"

                                      21


under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as "outside
directors" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (so that the
Company can receive a federal tax deduction for certain compensation paid
under the Plan).

   Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee has the sole discretion to
select the employees and consultants who will receive Awards, determine the
terms and conditions of Awards (for example, the exercise price and vesting
schedule), and interpret the provisions of the Plan and outstanding Awards.
The Committee may delegate any part of its authority and powers under the Plan
to one or more directors and/or officers of the Company, but only the
Committee itself can make Awards to participants who are executive officers of
the Company.

   If an Award expires or is cancelled without having been fully exercised or
vested, the unvested or cancelled Shares generally will be returned to the
available pool of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Also, if we
experience a stock dividend, reorganization or other change in our capital
structure, the Committee has the discretion to adjust the number of Shares
available for issuance under the Plan, the outstanding Awards, the per-person
limits on Awards, and the formula for granting Awards to non-employee
directors, as appropriate to reflect the stock dividend or other change.

   Eligibility to Receive Awards. The Committee selects the employees and
consultants who will be granted Awards under the Plan. The actual number of
individuals who will receive an Award under the Plan cannot be determined in
advance because the Committee has the discretion to select the participants.
Our non-employee directors are not eligible to receive discretionary Awards
under the Plan. Instead, our non-employee directors are automatically granted
Awards of a predetermined number of nonqualified stock options and restricted
stock, and certain cash payments, for each year that they serve on our Board.

   Stock Options. A stock option is the right to acquire shares of the
Company's common stock ("Shares") at a fixed exercise price for a fixed period
of time. Under the Plan, the Committee may grant nonqualified stock options
and/or incentive stock options (which entitle employees, but not the Company,
to more favorable tax treatment). The number of Shares covered by each option
will be determined by the Committee, but during any fiscal year of the
Company, no participant may be granted options covering more than 300,000
Shares.

   The exercise price of the Shares subject to each option is set by the
Committee but cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value (on the date
of grant) of the Shares covered by the option. An exception would be made for
any options that the Company grants in substitution for options held by
employees of companies that the Company acquires (in which case the exercise
price preserves the economic value of the employee's cancelled option from his
or her former employer).

   Options granted under the Plan cannot be repriced. In addition, the
exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least 110% of fair
market value if (on the grant date) the participant owns stock possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries. The aggregate fair market value of the
Shares (determined on the grant date) covered by incentive stock options which
first become exercisable by any participant during any calendar year also may
not exceed $100,000.

   An option granted under the Plan cannot be exercised until it becomes
vested. The Committee establishes the vesting schedule of each option at the
time of grant. Options become exercisable at the times and on the terms
established by the Committee. However, if a participant terminates his or her
service due to retirement, death, or disability, or if a change of control
occurs prior to the participant's termination of service, his or her options
would immediately vest. Options granted under the Plan expire at the times
established by the Committee, but not later than 10 years after the grant date
(except in certain cases of death, in which case a participant's option would
remain exercisable for three years after the date of death).

                                      22


   The exercise price of each option granted under the Plan must be paid in
full at the time of exercise. The Committee also may permit payment through
the tender of Shares that are already owned by the participant, or by any
other means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the purpose
of the Plan. Any taxes required to be withheld must be paid by the participant
at the time of exercise.

   Restricted Stock. Awards of restricted stock are Shares that vest in
accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee. The
number of Shares of restricted stock granted to any employee or consultant
will be determined by the Committee, but during any fiscal year of the
Company, no participant may be granted more than 15,000 Shares of restricted
stock. Also, the total number of Shares subject to Awards of restricted stock
under the Plan may not exceed 135,000.

   In determining whether an Award of restricted stock should be made, and/or
the vesting schedule for any such Award, the Committee may impose whatever
conditions to vesting as it determines to be appropriate. For example, the
Committee may determine to grant an Award of restricted stock only if
performance goals established by the Committee are satisfied by the
participant. However, if a participant terminates his or her service due to
retirement, death, or disability, or if a change of control occurs prior to
the participant's termination of service, his or her Shares of restricted
stock would immediately vest.

   Performance Units and Performance Shares. Performance units and performance
shares are Awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if
performance goals established by the Committee are achieved or the Awards
otherwise vest. The applicable performance goals will be determined by the
Committee, and may be applied on a Company-wide or an individual business unit
basis, as deemed appropriate in light of the participant's specific
responsibilities (see "Performance Goals" below for more information).

   In addition, if a participant terminates his or her service due to
retirement, death or disability, or if a change of control occurs prior to the
participant's termination of service, 100% of any outstanding performance
units or shares would be deemed to be earned and would be immediately payable
to the participant, or, in cases where a participant has received a target
Award of performance units or shares, 100% of the target amount would
immediately vest.

   During any fiscal year of the Company, no participant may receive more than
15,000 performance units or performance shares. Also, the total number of
Shares subject to Awards of performance units and performance shares under the
Plan may not exceed 135,000.

   Non-Employee Director Stock Options. Under the Plan, our non-employee
directors will receive annual, automatic, non-discretionary grants of
nonqualified stock options.

   Each new non-employee director will receive an option to purchase 6,000
Shares as of the date he or she first becomes a non-employee director. Each
non-employee director also will receive an option to purchase 3,750 Shares as
of the first business day of each June thereafter, provided that he or she
remains an eligible non-employee director.

   The exercise price of each option granted to a non-employee director is
equal to 100% of the fair market value (on the date of grant) of the Shares
covered by the option. The option granted to a non-employee director when he
or she first becomes a non-employee director vests in three equal annual
installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date (assuming
that he or she remains a non-employee director on each scheduled vesting
date). All options granted thereafter to the non-employee director become 100%
vested on the first anniversary of the applicable grant date. However, if a
non-employee director terminates his or her service on the Board due to
retirement, death, disability, resignation or non-reelection to the Board, his
or her options would immediately vest.

   Options granted to non-employee directors generally expire no later than 10
years after the date of grant. If a non-employee director terminates his or
her service on the Board prior to an option's normal expiration date,

                                      23


the period of exercisability of the option varies, depending upon the reason
for the termination. However, the option may not be exercised later than the
original expiration date (except in cases of death, in which case the non-
employee director's option would remain exercisable for two years after the
date of death).

   Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Awards. Under the Plan, our non-
employee directors also will receive annual, automatic, non-discretionary
grants of Shares of restricted stock.

   Each new non-employee director will receive up to 450 Shares of restricted
stock as of the date he or she first becomes a non-employee director. The
number of Shares of restricted stock the non-employee director receives will
be prorated (based on the number of full months of service on the Board until
the first business day in June thereafter). Each non-employee director also
will receive 450 Shares of restricted stock as of the first business day of
each June thereafter, provided that he or she remains an eligible non-employee
director. However, the number of Shares of restricted stock granted to any
non-employee director on any grant date will be reduced as necessary so that
the fair market value of the Shares on the grant date does not exceed $30,000.

   Any Shares of restricted stock granted to a non-employee director will vest
six months after the applicable grant date.

   After each grant date, the Plan also provides for a cash payment to be made
to each non-employee director in an amount equal to the director's estimated
tax liability due to the Shares of restricted stock granted to him or her on
such grant date.

   Performance Goals. The Committee (in its discretion) may make performance
goals applicable to a participant with respect to an Award. At the Committee's
discretion, one or more of the following performance goals may apply: adjusted
equity, adjusted net income, average adjusted equity, controllable spending as
compared to budget, cost of equity, earnings per share, efficiency ratio,
market share, net income, net operating income per share, new insurance
written, operating cash flow, pre-tax net income, pre-tax return on average
equity, price to earnings ratio, price to earnings ratio relative to other
public mortgage insurance companies, return on average assets, return on
average equity, return on sales, revenue, risk in force, total shareholder
return, and value added.

                                      24


   Awards to be Granted to Certain Individuals and Groups. The number of
Awards (if any) that an employee or consultant may receive under the Plan is
in the discretion of the Committee and therefore cannot be determined in
advance. Our non-employee directors are not eligible to receive discretionary
Awards under the Plan. Instead, our non-employee directors automatically are
granted Awards of a pre-determined number of nonqualified stock options and
Shares of restricted stock, and certain cash payments, for each year that they
serve on our Board. To date, only stock options, restricted stock and
performance shares have been granted under the Plan. The following table sets
forth (a) the total number of Shares subject to options granted under the Plan
during the last fiscal year, (b) the average per Share exercise price of such
options, (c) the total number of Shares of restricted stock granted under the
Plan during the last fiscal year, (d) the dollar value of such Shares of
restricted stock based on $64.98 per Share, the last reported trade price for
Shares on March 30, 2001, (e) the total number of Shares awarded as
performance shares granted under the Plan during the last fiscal year, and
(f) the dollar value of such performance shares based on $64.98 per Share, the

/1/Pursuant to the Plan's automatic, non-discretionary formula, each non-
   employee director received a nonqualified stock option for 3,750 Shares and
   450 Shares of restricted stock on June 1, 2000. Non-employee directors are
   not eligible to receive performance shares under the Plan.

   Limited Transferability of Awards. Awards granted under the Plan generally
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution. However, participants may, in a manner specified by the
Committee, transfer nonqualified stock options by bona fide gift (1) to a
member of the participant's immediate family, (2) to a trust or other entity
for the sole benefit of the member(s) of the participant's and/or his or her
immediate family, (3) to a partnership, limited liability company or other
entity whose members are the participant and/or his or her immediate family,
or (4) to a tax-qualified charity.

                                      25


FEDERAL TAX ASPECTS

   The following paragraphs are a summary of the general federal income tax
consequences to U.S. taxpayers and the Company of Awards granted under the
Plan. Tax consequences for any particular individual may be different.

   Nonqualified Stock Options. No taxable income is reportable when a
nonqualified stock option is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the
participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value (on the exercise date) of the Shares purchased over the
exercise price of the option. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any
later disposition of the Shares would be capital gain or loss.

   Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is reportable when an incentive
stock option is granted or exercised (except for purposes of the alternative
minimum tax, in which case taxation is the same as for nonqualified stock
options). If the participant exercises the option and then later sells or
otherwise disposes of the Shares more than two years after the grant date and
more than one year after the exercise date, the difference between the sale
price and the exercise price will be taxed as capital gain or loss. If the
participant exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of
the Shares before the end of the two- or one-year holding periods described
above, he or she generally will have ordinary income at the time of the sale
equal to the fair market value of the Shares on the exercise date (or the sale
price, if less) minus the exercise price of the option.

   Restricted Stock, Performance Units and Performance Shares. A participant
will not have taxable income upon grant unless he or she elects to be taxed at
that time. Instead, he or she will recognize ordinary income at the time of
vesting equal to the fair market value (on the vesting date) of the Shares or
cash received minus any amount paid for the Shares.

   Tax Effect for the Company. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax
deduction in connection with an Award under the Plan in an amount equal to the
ordinary income realized by a participant and at the time the participant
recognizes such income (for example, the exercise of a nonqualified stock
option). Special rules limit the deductibility of compensation paid to our
Chief Executive Officer and to each of our four most highly compensated
executive officers. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the
annual compensation paid to any of these specified executives will be
deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000. However, the
Company can preserve the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of
$1,000,000 if the conditions of Section 162(m) are met. These conditions
include stockholder approval of the Plan, setting limits on the number of
Awards that any individual may receive and for Awards other than stock
options, establishing performance criteria that must be met before the Award
actually will vest or be paid. The Plan has been designed to permit the
Committee to grant Awards that qualify as performance-based for purposes of
satisfying the conditions of Section 162(m), thereby permitting the Company to
continue to receive a federal income tax deduction in connection with such
Awards.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan

   The Board generally may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any
reason.

SUMMARY

   We believe strongly that the approval of the amended and restated Equity
Incentive Plan is essential to our continued success. Awards such as those
provided under the amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan constitute an
important incentive for key employees of the Company and help us to attract,
retain and motivate people whose skills and performance are critical to our
success. Our employees are our most valuable assets. We strongly believe that
the amended and restated Equity Incentive Plan is essential for us to compete
for talent in the very difficult labor markets in which we operate.

   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE COMPANY'S EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.

                            Audit Committee Charter

   The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in
monitoring (1) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (2)
the compliance by the Company with management's policies and procedures
regarding legal and regulatory requirements and (3) the independence of the
external auditors and the performance of the Company's internal and external
auditors.

   The Audit Committee and its members shall meet the independence, experience
and other requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. The members of the
Audit Committee shall be appointed by the Board on the recommendation of the
Governance and Nominating Committee.

   The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain special legal,
accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee. The Audit Committee
may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's outside
counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet
with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee.

   The Audit Committee shall make regular reports to the Board.

   The Audit Committee shall:

 1. Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually, recommend any
    proposed changes to the Board for approval and publish it in accordance
    with SEC regulations.

 2. Review the annual audited financial statements with management, including
    major issues regarding accounting and auditing principles and practices as
    well as the adequacy of internal controls that could significantly affect
    the Company's financial statements.

 3. Review an analysis prepared by management and the independent auditor of
    significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection
    with the preparation of the Company's financial statements.

 4. Review with management and the independent auditor the Company's quarterly
    financial statements prior to the release of quarterly earnings, provided
    that the Audit Committee can be represented by its Chair.

 5. Meet periodically with management to review the Company's major financial
    risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control
    such exposures.

 6. Review major changes to the Company's auditing and accounting principles
    and practices as suggested by the independent auditor, internal auditors
    or management.

 7. Recommend to the Board the appointment of the independent auditor, which
    firm is ultimately accountable to the Audit Committee and the Board.

 8. Review the aggregate annual fees billed by the independent auditor for the
    most recently completed fiscal year for audit services, financial
    information systems design and implementation services, and all other
    services performed by the independent auditor for the Company including
    audit related services, and approve the fees to be paid to the independent
    auditor for audit services and each non-audit service that exceeds 10% of
    the total fees for non-audit and audit services.

 9. Receive periodic reports from the independent auditor regarding the
    auditor's independence in accordance with applicable standards, discuss
    such reports with the auditor, consider whether the provision of non-audit
    services is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence and, if
    so determined by the Audit Committee, recommend that the Board take
    appropriate action to satisfy itself of the independence of the auditor.

                                      28


10. Evaluate together with the Board the performance of the independent
    auditor and, if so determined by the Audit Committee, recommend that the
    Board replace the independent auditor.

11. Review the appointment and replacement of the senior internal auditing
    executive.

12. Review the significant reports to management prepared by the internal
    auditors and management's responses.

13. Meet with the independent auditor prior to the audit to review the
    planning and staffing of the audit.

14. Obtain from the independent auditor assurance that Section 10A of the
    Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 has not been implicated.

15. Obtain reports from management, the Company's senior internal auditing
    executive and the independent auditor that the Company's
    subsidiary/foreign affiliated entities are in conformity with applicable
    legal requirements and the Company's Business Ethics Handbook.

16. Discuss with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed
    by all relevant Statements on Auditing Standards, including but not
    limited to Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61, relating to the conduct
    of the audit.

17. Review with the independent and internal auditors any problems or
    difficulties such auditors may have encountered and any management or
    other letter provided by the auditors and the Company's response to that
    letter. Such review should include:

  a. Any difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work, including
     any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to required
     information.

  b. Any changes required in the planned scope of the audits.

  c. The internal auditor's responsibilities, budget and staffing.

18. Prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission to be included in the Company's annual proxy statement.

19. Advise the Board with respect to the Company's policies and procedures
    regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations and with the
    Company's Business Ethics Handbook.

20. Review with the Company's General Counsel legal matters that may have a
    material impact on the financial statements, the Company's compliance
    policies and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators or
    governmental agencies.

21. Meet at least annually with the chief financial officer, the senior
    internal auditing executive and the independent auditor in separate
    executive sessions.

22. Meet at least four times annually with agendas for such meetings prepared
    or approved in advance by the Audit Committee Chair.

   While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in
this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct
audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete
and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. This is the responsibility of management and the independent
auditor. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations,
to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent
auditor, or to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Company's
Business Ethics Handbook, or to assure auditor independence.

                                      30


Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
"Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes

discretion, the Board may increase the twenty percent (20%) threshold set
forth above in this subsection (a) prior to any acquisition of twenty percent
(20%) or more beneficial ownership of the Outstanding Company Common Stock or
the Outstanding Company Voting Securities; provided, that (i) such increased
threshold shall apply only to the acquisition and maintenance of beneficial
ownership by any Person eligible to report such beneficial ownership at the
time of such acquisition on Schedule 13G under the 1934 Act, and (ii) in the
event that any Person initially eligible to so report on Schedule 13G
thereafter ceases to be eligible to so report on Schedule 13G, the occurrence
of the event causing such Person no longer to be eligible to so report shall
be deemed an acquisition by such Person of all of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by
such Person immediately prior to such occurrence; or

    (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
"Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by
the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as
though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,

the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the
Board; or

    (c) Consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger or
consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the

were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty
percent (60%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock
and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be,
of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including,
without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns
the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either
directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination
of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such
Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, twenty
percent (20%) or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such
corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the
Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board
of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business
Combination; or

    (d) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation
or dissolution of the Company.

                                      31


   Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to
occur solely because any Person acquires beneficial ownership of twenty
percent (20%) or more of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities or
Outstanding Company Common Stock as a result of the acquisition of such
securities or stock by the Company, which acquisition reduces the number of
the Outstanding Company Voting Securities or Outstanding Company Common Stock;
provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such Person (while
such Person remains the beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of
the Outstanding Company Voting Securities or Outstanding Company Common Stock)
becomes the beneficial owner of additional shares of such Outstanding Company
Voting Securities or Outstanding Company Common Stock (as the case may be), a

   3.1 The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall consist of two (2) or more Directors who shall be appointed
from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board. Each
member of the Committee shall qualify as (a) a "non-employee director" under
Rule 16b-3, and (b) an "outside director" under Section 162(m) of the Code. If
it is later determined that one or more members of the Committee do not so
qualify, actions taken by the Committee prior to such determination shall be
valid despite such failure to qualify.

   3.2 Authority of the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to
administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan's provisions. The Committee
shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer
the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the
power to (a) determine which Employees and Consultants shall be granted
Awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of the Awards, (c) interpret
the Plan and the Awards, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are
necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees,
Consultants and Non-employee Directors who are foreign nationals or employed
outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and
(f) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. Except as provided in Section
4.3, after an Award has been granted, the Committee shall not reduce the
Exercise Price of the Award (or cancel the Award and grant a substitute Award

on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part
of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors and/or
officers of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may not
delegate its authority and powers (a) with respect to Section 16 Persons, or
(b) with respect to Awards which are intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

   3.4 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the
Committee, the Board, and any delegate thereof, pursuant to the provisions of
the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be
given the maximum deference permitted by law.

                                   SECTION 4
                          SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

   4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the
total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan is 8,000,000.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the aggregate number

                                      34


of Shares subject to Awards of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall
not exceed 135,000 and the aggregate number of Shares subject to Awards of
Performance Units and Performance Shares granted under the Plan shall not
exceed 135,000. Shares granted under the Plan may be either authorized but
unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

   4.2 Lapsed Awards. If an Award (or an Award under the Company's Stock Plan
for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Plan")) is settled in cash, or
terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, any Shares subject to such
Award again shall be available to be the subject of an Award. In addition, if
any Shares are tendered to the Company (whether by physical delivery or
attestation) as full or partial payment for the exercise of an Option or in
satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation pursuant to an Award, only the
net Shares issued shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the
maximum number of Shares that may be delivered under Section 4.1.

   4.3 Adjustments in Awards and Authorized Shares. In the event of any
merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation,
liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, Share combination, or other change in
the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares, the Committee
shall adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the
Plan, the number, class, and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards,
and the numerical limits of Section 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1 and 9.1, in such manner
as the Committee (in its sole discretion) shall determine to be appropriate to
prevent the dilution or diminution of such Awards. Notwithstanding the
preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole
number.

                                   SECTION 5
                                 STOCK OPTIONS

   5.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Employees and Consultants at any time and from time
to time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee,
in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares subject to each
Option, provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall be granted
Options covering more than 300,000 Shares. The Committee may grant Incentive
Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or a combination thereof.

   5.2 Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
(satisfactory to the Committee) that shall specify the Exercise Price, the
expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option
pertains, any conditions to exercise of the Option, and such other terms and
conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award
Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option.

   5.3 Exercise Price. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3, the
Exercise Price of each Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion.

     5.3.1 Nonqualified Stock Options. In the case of a Nonqualified Stock
Option, the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

     5.3.2 Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option,
the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, that if on
the Grant Date, the Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is
attributed to the Employee pursuant to section 424(d) of the Code) owns stock
possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Exercise
Price shall be not less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

     5.3.3 Substitute Options. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections
5.3.1 and 5.3.2, in the event that the Company or an Affiliate consummates a
transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of
property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees
or Consultants

                                      35


on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for
options granted by their former employer. If such substitute Options are
granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion and consistent with Section
424(a) of the Code, shall determine the exercise price of such substitute
Options.

   5.4 Expiration of Options.

     5.4.1 Expiration Dates. Each Option shall terminate no later than the
first to occur of the following events:

       (a) The expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; or

       (b) The expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Participant's
Termination of Service for a reason other than the Participant's death,
Disability or Retirement; or

       (c) The expiration of three (3) years from the date of the
Participant's Termination of Service by reason of Disability; or

       (d) The expiration of three (3) years from the date of the
Participant's Retirement (subject to Section 5.9.2 regarding Incentive Stock
Options); or

       (e) The date for termination of the Option determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion and set forth in the written Award Agreement.

     5.4.2 Death of Participant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5.4.1, if a Participant dies prior to the expiration of his or her Options,
the Committee, in its discretion, may provide that his or her Options shall be
exercisable for up to three (3) years after the date of death.

     5.4.3 Committee Discretion. Subject to the limits of Sections 5.4.1 and
5.4.2, the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) shall provide in each Award
Agreement when each Option expires and becomes unexercisable, and (b) may,
after an Option is granted and before such Option expires, extend the maximum
term of the Option (subject to Section 5.9.4 regarding Incentive Stock
Options).

   5.5 Exercisability of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such times
and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall
determine in its sole discretion. After an Option is granted, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of the Option.

     5.5.1 Special Rule for Retirement, Death and Disability. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the Plan, the right to exercise each Option shall
accrue as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to such Option
upon the Participant's Termination of Service due to Retirement, death or
Disability.

     5.5.2 Special Rule for Change of Control. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
that occurs prior to a Participant's Termination of Service, the right to
exercise each Option then outstanding shall accrue as to one hundred percent
(100%) of the Shares subject to such Option. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Committee determines that the acceleration of the vesting of
Options following a Change of Control would cause a Change of Control
transaction to be ineligible for pooling of interests accounting under APB No.
16, which transaction (but for such accelerated vesting) otherwise would have
been eligible for such accounting treatment, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may determine that no such accelerated vesting shall occur.

   5.6 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the Participant's delivery of a
written notice of exercise (satisfactory to the Committee) to the Secretary of
the Company (or its designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect
to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the
Shares to be purchased.

                                      36


   Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the
Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired
Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to
the total Exercise Price, or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in
its sole discretion, determines to both provide legal consideration for the
Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.

   Subject to the provisions of Section 5.10, as soon as practicable after
receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares
purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or the Participant's
designated broker), Share certificates (which may be in book entry form)
representing such Shares.

   5.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose such
restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as
it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to
applicable Federal securities laws, the requirements of any national
securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or
any blue sky or state securities laws.

   5.8 Certain Additional Provisions for Incentive Stock Options.

     5.8.1 Exercisability. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the
Grant Date(s)) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

     5.8.2 Termination of Service. If any portion of an Incentive Stock Option
is exercised more than three (3) months after the Participant's Termination of
Service for any reason other than Disability or death (unless (a) the
Participant dies during such three-month period, and (b) the Award Agreement
or the Committee permits a later exercise), the portion so exercised shall be
deemed a Nonqualified Stock Option. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised
more than one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service by
reason of Disability, unless (i) the Participant dies during such one-year
period, and (ii) the Award Agreement or the Committee permit later exercise).

     5.8.3 Company and Subsidiaries Only. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to persons who are Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary on
the Grant Date.

     5.8.4 Expiration. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the
expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if
the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock
ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the
Code, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5)
years from the Grant Date.

   5.9 Grant of Reload Options. The Committee may provide in an Award
Agreement that a Participant who exercises all or part of an Option by payment
of the Exercise Price with already-owned Shares, shall be granted an
additional option (a "Reload Option") for a number of shares of stock equal to
the number of Shares tendered to exercise the previously granted Option plus,
if the Committee so determines, any Shares withheld or delivered in
satisfaction of any tax withholding requirements. As determined by the
Committee, each Reload Option shall (a) have a Grant Date which is the date as
of which the previously granted Option is exercised, and (b) be exercisable on
the same terms and conditions as the previously granted Option, except that
the Exercise Price shall be determined as of the Grant Date.

   5.10 Deferral of Option Proceeds.

     5.10.1 Election to Defer Option Proceeds. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan, a Participant who is eligible to defer income under the
Company's Officer Deferred Compensation Plan may elect, at the discretion of,
and in accordance with rules which may be established by, the Committee, to
defer delivery of the proceeds of exercise of an Option which is exercised by
means of an exchange of Shares as described in

                                      37


Section 5.6(a), provided that the Shares tendered or applied in exercise of
such Option shall have been held by the Participant for at least six (6)
months prior to such exercise. A Participant's election as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 5.10, a deferral election made by a Participant pursuant to
this Section 5.10.1 shall be void and shall not be given effect unless (i) the
Participant's deferral election is made at least six (6) full calendar months
prior to the calendar month in which the Option otherwise would expire, (ii)
the Participant's deferral election is made at least six (6) full calendar
months prior to the calendar month in which the Option is exercised, and (iii)
the Participant is employed by or is rendering services to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries on the date of exercise of the Option. For purposes of
either or both of clauses (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, rules
established by the Committee may require an election earlier than the six (6)
calendar month period described therein. Upon exercise of an Option to which a
deferral election applies, the Shares covered by such exercise shall not be
issued or transferred to the Participant, and instead, a number of Stock Units
equal to the number of Shares covered by such exercise and in respect of which
the Participant has made a deferral election, shall be credited to a Deferred
Option Compensation Account at the date of exercise. A separate Deferred
Option Compensation Account shall be maintained with respect to each
Participant and to each effective deferral election.

     5.10.2 Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of Stock Units shall be made
by issuance of Shares on such date or dates or upon the occurrence of such
event or events as the Committee may authorize the Participant to designate at
the time a deferral election under Section 5.10.1 is made, provided, however,
that in no event shall payment occur more than sixty (60) days after a
Participant's Termination of Service for any reason. The number of Shares to
be so distributed may be increased by dividend equivalents, which may be
valued as if reinvested in Shares. Until payment of a Stock Unit is made, the
number of Shares represented by a Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 4.3.

     5.10.3 Provisions of the Officer Deferred Compensation Plan May
Govern. To the extent determined by the Committee, any amount deferred under
this Section 5.10, and any Deferred Option Compensation Account, may be
treated and held as a portion of the Company's Officer Deferred Compensation
Plan, in which event the provisions of such plan shall govern the operation
and administration of amounts deferred under this Section 5.10 and credited to
Deferred Option Compensation Accounts.

                                   SECTION 6
                               RESTRICTED STOCK

   6.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the
Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of
Restricted Stock to Employees and Consultants in such amounts as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine the number of Shares to be granted to each
Participant, provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall be
granted more than 15,000 Shares of Restricted Stock.

   6.2 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction,
the number of Shares granted, any price to be paid for the Shares, and such
other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
determine. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted
Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on
such Shares have lapsed.

   6.3 Transferability. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until
the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

   6.4 Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose
such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable
or appropriate, in accordance with this Section 6.4.

                                      38


     6.4.1 General Restrictions. The Committee may set restrictions based upon
the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, business
unit or individual), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other
basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.

     6.4.2 Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions. For purposes of qualifying
grants of Restricted Stock as "performance-based compensation" under Section
162(m) of the Code, the Committee, in its discretion, may set restrictions
based upon the achievement of Performance Goals. The Performance Goals shall
be set by the Committee on or before the latest date permissible to enable the
Restricted Stock to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section
162(m) of the Code. In granting Restricted Stock which is intended to qualify
under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall follow any procedures
determined by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure
qualification of the Restricted Stock under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g.,
in determining the Performance Goals).

     6.4.3 Legend on Certificates. The Committee, in its discretion, may
legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate
notice of such restrictions. For example, the Committee may determine that
some or all certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear
the following legend:

   "The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this
certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is
subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in The PMI Group,
Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, and in a Restricted Stock Agreement. A copy of the
Plan and such Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of
The PMI Group, Inc."

   6.5 Removal of Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each
Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall be released from escrow as
soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The
Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any
restrictions shall lapse, and remove any restrictions. After the restrictions
have lapsed, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends
under Section 6.4 removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares
shall be freely transferable by the Participant.

     6.5.1 Special Rule for Retirement, Death and Disability. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the Plan, one hundred percent (100%) of any
outstanding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be one hundred percent (100%)
vested in the Participant upon the Participant's Termination of Service due to
Retirement, death or Disability.

     6.5.2 Special Rule for Change of Control. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
that occurs prior to a Participant's Termination of Service, one hundred
percent (100%) of any outstanding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be one
hundred percent (100%) vested in the Participant. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this Section 6.5.2, if the Committee determines that
the acceleration of vesting of Restricted Stock following a Change of Control
would cause a Change of Control transaction to be ineligible for pooling of
interests accounting under APB No. 16, which transaction (but for such
accelerated vesting) otherwise would have been eligible for such accounting
treatment, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that no such
accelerated vesting shall occur.

   6.6 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding
Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights
with respect to those Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement.

   6.7 Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction,
Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive
all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. If any such dividends or
distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same
restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted
Stock with respect to which they were paid.

   6.8 Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the
Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed
shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for grant under
the Plan.


                                      39


                                   SECTION 7
                   PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

   7.1 Grant of Performance Units and Shares. Performance Units and
Performance Shares may be granted to Employees and Consultants at any time and
from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the
number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to any Participant,
provided that during any Fiscal Year no more than 15,000 Performance Units or
Performance Shares may be granted to any Participant.

   7.2 Initial Value. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that
is established by the Committee on or before the Grant Date, provided that
such value shall not exceed the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant
Date. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

   7.3 Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Committee shall set
performance objectives in its discretion which, depending on the extent to
which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units or
Shares that will be paid out to the Participants. The Committee may set
performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business
unit, or individual goals, or any other basis determined by the Committee in
its discretion. The time period during which the performance objectives must
be met shall be called the "Performance Period." Each Award of Performance
Units or Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify
the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee,
in its sole discretion, shall determine.

     7.3.1 General Performance Objectives. The Committee may set performance
objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit or
individual goals, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its
discretion.

     7.3.2 Section 162(m) Performance Objectives. For purposes of qualifying
grants of Performance Units or Shares as "performance-based compensation"
under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee, in its discretion, may
determine that the performance objectives applicable to Performance Units or
Shares shall be based on the achievement of Performance Goals. The Performance
Goals shall be set by the Committee on or before the latest date permissible
to enable the Performance Units or Shares to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. In granting Performance Units
or Shares which are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, the
Committee shall follow any procedures determined by it from time to time to be
necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Performance Units or
Shares under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance
Goals).

   7.4 Earning of Performance Units and Performance Shares. After the
applicable Performance Period has ended, the Participant shall be entitled to
receive a payout of the number of Performance Units or Shares earned during
the Performance Period, depending upon the extent to which the applicable
performance objectives have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance
Unit or Share, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any
performance objectives for Award, except with respect to Awards which are
intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m)
of the Code.

     7.4.1 Special Rule for Retirement, Death and Disability. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the Plan, upon the Participant's Termination of
Service due to Retirement, death or Disability, one hundred percent (100%) of
any outstanding Performance Units or Shares shall be deemed to be earned and
shall be immediately payable to the Participant, or, in cases where a
Participant has received a target award of Performance Units or Shares, one
hundred percent (100%) of the target amount shall vest.

     7.4.2 Special Rule for Change of Control. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
that occurs prior to a Participant's Termination of Service, one hundred
percent (100%) of any outstanding Performance Units or Shares shall be deemed
to be earned and shall be immediately payable to the Participant, or, in cases
where a Participant has received a target

                                      40


award of Performance Units or Shares, one hundred percent (100%) of the target
amount shall vest. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section
7.4.2, if the Committee determines that the acceleration of vesting of
Performance Units or Shares following a Change of Control would cause a Change
of Control transaction to be ineligible for pooling of interests accounting
under APB No. 16, which transaction (but for such accelerated vesting)
otherwise would have been eligible for such accounting treatment, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that no such accelerated
vesting shall occur.

   7.5 Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to Section 7.5.1, payment of earned
Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be made as soon as practicable
after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Committee, in
its sole discretion, may pay such earned Awards in cash, Shares or a
combination thereof. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery
of Shares that would otherwise be delivered to a Participant under this
Section 7.5. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and
procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

   7.6 Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all
unearned or unvested Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be
forfeited to the Company, and again shall be available for grant under
the Plan.

                                   SECTION 8
                         NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR OPTIONS

   The provisions of this Section 8 are applicable only to Nonqualified Stock
Options granted to Non-employee Directors. The provisions of Section 5 are
applicable to Options granted to Employees and Consultants (and to the extent
provided in Section 8.3, to Non-employee Directors).

   8.1 Grant of Options.

     8.1.1 Initial Grants. Each individual who first becomes a Non-employee
Director on or after June 1, 2000, automatically shall receive, as of the date
that he or she first is appointed or elected as a Non-employee Director (the
"Initial Grant Date"), an Option to purchase 6,000 Shares.

     8.1.2 Ongoing Grants. Each Non-employee Director who either (a) has
received an initial grant of an Option to purchase 6,000 Shares pursuant to
Section 8.1.1, or (b) was a participant in the Director Plan (as defined in
Section 4.1) on May 31, 2000, automatically shall receive, as of the first
business day of each June thereafter (the "Subsequent Grant Date"), an Option
to purchase 3,750 Shares, provided that he or she both (i) is a Non-employee
Director on the Subsequent Grant Date, and (ii) has served as a Non-employee
Director for the entire period since the last Grant Date under this Plan or
the Director Plan (as applicable).


   8.2 Terms of Options.

     8.2.1 Award Agreement.  Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 8
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (satisfactory to the Committee),
which shall be executed by the Participant and the Company.

     8.2.2 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for the Shares subject to each
Option granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall be one hundred percent (100%)
of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the Grant Date.

     8.2.3 Exercisability.

       (a) Each Option granted pursuant to Section 8.1.1 shall become
exercisable as to 2,000 Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, as
to an additional 2,000 Shares on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and
as to the remaining 2,000 Shares on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

                                      41


       (b) Each Option granted pursuant to Section 8.1.2 shall become
exercisable as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to such
Option on the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

   Notwithstanding the foregoing, once a Participant ceases to be a Director,
his or her Options which are not then exercisable shall never become
exercisable and shall be immediately forfeited, except to the limited extent
provided in Sections 8.2.5 and 8.2.6.

     8.2.4 Expiration Dates. Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 8
shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events:

       (a) The expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; or

       (b) The expiration of three (3) months from the date of the
Participant's Termination of Service prior to age seventy (70) for any reason
other than the Participant's death or Disability, provided that the Committee,
in its discretion, may extend such three-month period to a maximum of ten (10)
years; or

       (c) The expiration of two (2) years from the date of the Participant's
Termination of Service by reason of Disability; or

       (d) The expiration of five (5) years from the date of the Participant's
Termination of Service at or after age seventy (70) for any reason other than
the Participant's death or Disability; or

       (e) The date for termination of the Option determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion and set forth in the written Award Agreement.

     8.2.5 Death of Participant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
8.2.4, if a Participant dies prior to the expiration of his or her Options in
accordance with Section 8.2.4, then his or her Options that are then
exercisable shall terminate two (2) years after the date of death.

     8.2.6 Special Rule for Retirement, Death, Disability, Resignation and
Non-Reelection. Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, the right to
exercise each Option granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall accrue as to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to such Option upon the
Participant's death, Disability, retirement, resignation or non-reelection to
the Board.

   8.3 Other Terms. All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this
Section 8 shall apply to Options granted to Non-employee Directors.

   8.4 Not Incentive Stock Options. Options granted pursuant to this Section 8
shall not be designated as Incentive Stock Options.

   8.5 Deferral of Option Proceeds.

     8.5.1 Election to Defer Option Proceeds. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan, a Participant who is eligible to defer income under the
Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan may elect, at the discretion
of, and in accordance with rules which may be established by the Committee, to
defer delivery of the proceeds of exercise of an Option which is exercised by
means of an exchange of Shares as described in Section 5.6(a), provided that
the Shares tendered or applied in exercise of such Option shall have been held
by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to such exercise. A
Participant's election as provided in the preceding sentence shall be
irrevocable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5 to the
contrary, a deferral election made by a Participant pursuant to this Section
8.5 shall be void and shall not be given effect unless (i) the Participant's
deferral election is made at least six (6) full calendar months prior to the
calendar month in which the Option otherwise would expire, (ii) the
Participant's deferral election is made at least six (6) full calendar months
prior to the calendar month in which the Option is exercised, and (iii) the
Participant is serving as a Non-employee Director on the date of exercise of
the Option. For purposes of either or both of clauses (i) or (ii) of the
preceding sentence, rules established by the Committee may require an election

                                      42


earlier than the six (6) calendar month period described therein. Upon
exercise of an Option to which a deferral election applies, the Shares covered
by such exercise shall not be issued or transferred to the Participant, and
instead, a number of Stock Units equal to the number of Shares covered by such
exercise and in respect of which the Participant has made a deferral election,
shall be credited to a Deferred Option Compensation Account at the date of
exercise. A separate Deferred Option Compensation Account shall be maintained
with respect to each Participant and to each effective deferral election.

     8.5.2 Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of Stock Units shall be made by
issuance of Shares on such date or dates or upon the occurrence of such event
or events as the Committee may authorize the Participant to designate at the
time a deferral election under Section 8.5.1 is made, provided, however, that
in no event shall payment occur more than sixty (60) days after a
Participant's Termination of Service for any reason. The number of Shares to
be so distributed may be increased by dividend equivalents, which may be
valued as if reinvested in Shares. Until payment of a Stock Unit is made, the
number of Shares represented by a Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 4.3.

     8.5.3 Provisions of the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan May
Govern. To the extent determined by the Committee, any amount deferred under
this Section 8.5, and any Deferred Option Compensation Account, may be treated
and held as a portion of the Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan,
in which event the provisions of such plan shall govern the operation and
administration of amounts deferred under this Section 8.5 and credited to
Deferred Option Compensation Accounts.

                                   SECTION 9
                    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK

   9.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Each Non-employee Director automatically
shall receive (a) as of his or her Initial Grant Date (as defined in Section
8.1.1), an Award of 37.5 Shares of Restricted Stock for each full month of
service on the Board until the next Grant Date, and (b) as of each Subsequent
Grant Date (as defined in Section 8.1.2), an Award of 450 Shares of Restricted
Stock, provided that he or she is a Non-employee Director on each such Grant
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Shares granted to any
Non-employee Director on any Grant Date shall be reduced if and as necessary
so that the Fair Market Value of the Shares does not exceed $30,000 on the
Grant Date. A Non-employee Director who joins the Board on or before the 15th
day of the month will receive credit for service for the full month.

   9.2 Restricted Stock Escrow. Except as provided in this Section 9, Shares
of Restricted Stock shall not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated by the Participant until six (6) months
after the applicable Grant Date. Unless the Committee determines otherwise,
Shares of Restricted Stock shall be either (a) held by the Company as escrow
agent until such six-month period expires, or (b) affixed with an appropriate
legend restricting the sale transfer pledge, assignment or other alienation or
hypothecation of such Shares by the Participant until the expiration of the
six month period.

   9.3 Voting and Other Rights. After Shares of Restricted Stock have been
granted, the Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect to such
Shares. A Participant shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other
distributions paid in Shares. If any such dividends or distributions are paid
in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on
transferability that are provided in Section 9.2.

   9.4 Cash Payment for Income Taxes. As soon as practicable after each Grant
Date, the Company shall pay to each Non-employee Director, in cash or its
equivalent, an amount equal to the expected increase in his or her federal
state and local income tax liability due to the Shares granted to the
Participant on such Grant date. The formula for determining each such cash
payment shall be adopted by the Committee (in it discretion) from time to
time, but in each case shall assume that the maximum prevailing income tax
rates apply to the Participant.

                                      43


                                  SECTION 10
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

   10.1 Deferred Option Compensation Accounts.

     10.1.1 Participants Remain Unsecured Creditors. Participants have the
status of general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to their
Deferred Option Compensation Accounts (if any), and such accounts constitute a
mere promise by the Company to make payments with respect thereto.

     10.1.2 Nontransferability of Deferred Option Compensation Accounts. A
Participant's right to benefit payments with respect to their Deferred Option
Compensation Accounts (if any) may not be anticipated, alienated, sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, attached or garnished by creditors
of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary and any attempt to do so
shall be void and shall not be given effect.

   10.2 No Effect on Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan shall
interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate
to terminate any Participant's employment or service at any time, with or
without cause. For purposes of the Plan, the transfer of employment of a
Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between
Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Termination of Service. Employment or
service with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only.

   10.3 Participation. No Employee or Consultant shall have the right to be
selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to
be selected to receive any future Award.

   10.4 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the
Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may
be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken
or failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) from any and
all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's
approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such
claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she
shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and
defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or
her own behalf. 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.

   10.5 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with
respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the
Company, 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.

   10.6 Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant
under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but
unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant's death. Each such
designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall
be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee.
In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid
at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate and,
subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any
unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of
the Participant's estate.

   10.7 Limited Transferability 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 10.6. All rights with respect to an
Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime
only to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

                                      44


the Participant may, in a manner specified by the Committee, transfer a
Nonqualified Stock Option by bona fide gift and not for any consideration, to
(a) a member of the Participant's immediate family, (b) a trust or other
entity for the exclusive benefit of the Participant and/or a member or members
of the Participant's immediate family, (c) a partnership, limited liability
company or other entity whose only partners or members are the Participant
and/or a member or members of the Participant's immediate family, or (d) a
tax-qualified, not for profit organization.

   10.8 No Rights as Stockholder. Except to the limited extent provided in
Sections 6.6, 6.7, and 9.3, no Participant (nor any beneficiary) shall have
any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect
to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), unless and
until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued, recorded
on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and
delivered to the Participant (or beneficiary).

   10.9 Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash
pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power
and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the
Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign
taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required to be withheld
with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof). Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan, if a Participant fails to remit to the Company such
withholding amount within the time period specified by the Committee (in its
discretion), the Participant's Award may, in the Committee's discretion, be
forfeited and in such case the Participant shall not receive any of the Shares
subject to such Award.

   10.10 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee, in its sole discretion and
pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or
require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding
obligations in connection with an Award by (a) having the Company withhold
otherwise deliverable Shares, or (b) delivering to the Company already-owned
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The amount so withheld shall not exceed the amount determined by using the
minimum federal, state, local or foreign jurisdiction statutory withholding
rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that
the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of
the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that
the taxes are required to be withheld.

                                  SECTION 11
                      AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION

   11.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Board, in its sole
discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time
and for any reason. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall
not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or
obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award
may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the
Plan.

   11.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the date
specified herein, and subject to Section 11.1 (regarding the Board's right to
amend or terminate the Plan), shall remain in effect thereafter. However,
without further stockholder approval, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted
under the Plan after May 31, 2010.

                                  SECTION 12
                              LEGAL CONSTRUCTION

   12.1 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context,
any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural
shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

   12.2 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

                                      45


   12.3 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares
under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities
exchanges as may be required.

   12.4 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, but
without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

   12.5 Captions. Captions are provided herein for convenience only, and shall
not serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its duly authorized officer, has
