succeeding Business Day (the “Exercise Date”), by paying to Xxxxxxx

September 11, 2006) indicating whether it will purchase the Option Amount
pursuant to this Option. Any such notice shall become irrevocable at the

from an Optionholder by Xxxxxxx Capital during such period, Xxxxxxx Capital
shall so notify such Optionholder and the other
Optionholder and for two (2) Business Days after such notice is
received, an Optionholder who had not given notice may give notice as
provided above. An Optionholder’s failure to notify Xxxxxxx Capital that it
will purchase the Option Amount in accordance with this Section 2(a) shall

its Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Optionholder’s failure to

war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to pose
extreme difficulty for the Optionholder to timely deliver such notice or
exercise its Option on the Exercise Date or a circumstance in which the
Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer and the General Counsel of an
Optionholder are disabled during a period that includes September 11, 2006
and ends at the end of the Business Day on September 15, 2006 (each a
“Delaying Event”) and such Optionholder delivers the Settlement
Amount as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business
Days, following the later of the onset of the Delaying Event or the
availability of communication systems sufficient to permit the delivery of
such notice or (ii) (A) such failure is a result of a failure by the Federal
Reserve Wire System to deliver the Settlement Amount, (B) such Optionholder
delivered the appropriate wire instructions in a timely manner to effect the
transfer of the Settlement Amount to Xxxxxxx Capital through the Federal
Reserve Wire System prior to the Exercise Date and (C) Xxxxxxx Capital
receives the Settlement Amount from such Optionholder no later than five (5)
Business Days after September 22, 2006.
(ii) (A) If MGIC fails to give notice to Xxxxxxx Capital that it will
purchase the MGIC Option Amount or elects not to exercise its Option and
Radian has elected to purchase the Radian Option Amount, Xxxxxxx Capital
shall notify Radian of such failure or election on or prior to two (2)
Business Days prior to September 22, 2006, and Radian shall be entitled
pursuant to its Option to purchase the MGIC Option Amount in addition to the
Radian Option Amount by delivering notice to Xxxxxxx Capital to that effect
on or prior to one (1) Business Day prior to September 22, 2006. (B) If
Radian fails to give notice to Xxxxxxx Capital that it will purchase the
Radian Option Amount or elects not to exercise its Option and MGIC has
elected to purchase the MGIC Option Amount, Xxxxxxx Capital shall notify
MGIC of such failure or election on or prior to two (2) Business Days prior
to September 22, 2006, and MGIC shall be entitled pursuant to its Option to
purchase the Radian Option Amount in addition to the MGIC Option Amount by
delivering written notice to Xxxxxxx Capital to that effect on or prior to
one (1) Business Day prior to September 22, 2006.
(iii) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and except as provided in
the final sentence of Section 2(a)(i), each Optionholder exercising its
Option shall make payment on September 22, 2006 of its
5
Settlement Amount in
immediately available funds to the account specified in writing to such
Optionholder by Xxxxxxx Capital.
(b) Actions Following Exercise. Upon payment of the Settlement Amount, Xxxxxxx
Capital, MGIC and Radian shall take all such action as may be necessary under the Xxxxxxx Financial
LLC Agreement to reflect the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement on the books and
records of Xxxxxxx Financial. At the reasonable request of any other Party hereto and without
further consideration, each Party hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and
take such further action as may be necessary or appropriate under all applicable Laws to consummate
and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the exercise of the Options and the
transfer of the Class A Units and Preferred Units purchased by MGIC and/or Radian hereunder.
Section 3. Grant of Security Interest.
(a) Grant of Security Interest to MGIC. As security for the timely performance of
Xxxxxxx Capital’s obligation to deliver the Final Option Amount with respect to MGIC to MGIC upon

purchase the Radian Option Amount pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(B), the security interest granted to
Radian pursuant to Section 3(b) with respect to the Radian Collateral shall be
6
released from the

Option Amount pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(A), the security interest granted to MGIC pursuant to
Section 3(a) with respect to the MGIC Collateral shall be released from the grant pursuant to
Section 3(a).

(e) Resolutions of Disputes.
(i) Generally. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the
Parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or

shall be settled by binding arbitration held in the Borough of Manhattan,
City of New York, State of New York in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect,
except as specifically otherwise provided in this Section 4(d).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the arbitrator(s) does not
possess the power to subpoena witnesses necessary to the resolution of a
dispute, controversy or claim brought hereunder which a court of competent
jurisdiction would possess, such dispute, controversy or claim shall not be
subject to the terms of this Section 4(d) and shall instead be subject to
resolution in such court. If the Parties to the Xxxxxxx Financial LLC
Agreement are engaged in or submit a matter to arbitration with respect to
or related to the same subject matter as a matter which is to be submitted
to arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, such arbitrations shall be
jointly conducted.
(ii) Arbitrators. If the matter in controversy (exclusive of
attorney fees and expenses) shall appear, as at the time of the demand for
arbitration, to exceed $500,000, then the panel to be appointed shall
consist of three neutral arbitrators; otherwise, one neutral arbitrator. No
arbitrator shall be a current or former officer, manager, director or
employee of any Party or any member of Xxxxxxx Financial.
(iii) Procedures: No Appeal. The arbitrator(s) shall allow
such discovery as the arbitrator(s) determines appropriate under the
circumstances and shall resolve the dispute as expeditiously as practicable,
and if reasonably practicable, within 120 days after the selection of the
11
arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall give the Parties written notice
of the decision, with the reasons therefor set out, and shall have 30 days
thereafter to reconsider and modify such decision if any Party so requests
within 10 days after the decision. Thereafter, the decision of the
arbitrator(s) shall be final, binding, and nonappealable with respect to all
persons, including (without limitation) persons who have failed or refused
to participate in the arbitration process, except to the extent such
decision shall be premised upon an erroneous application of or shall be
contrary to applicable Law. In making any decision, the arbitrator(s) is
instructed to preserve, as nearly as possible, to the extent compatible with
applicable Law, the original business and economic intent of the Parties
embodied in this Agreement.
(iv) Authority. The arbitrator(s) shall have authority to
award relief under legal or equitable principles, including interim or
preliminary relief, and to allocate responsibility for the costs of the
arbitration and to award recovery of attorneys fees and expenses in such
manner as is determined to be appropriate by the arbitrator(s).
(v) Entry of Judgment. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having in personam and subject
matter jurisdiction. Each Party hereby submits to the in personam
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the Southern District of New
York, and in the borough of Manhattan for the purpose of confirming any such
award and entering judgment thereon.
(vi) Confidentiality. All proceedings under this Section 4 and
all evidence given or discovered pursuant hereto, shall be maintained in
confidence by all Parties and by the arbitrators.
(vii) Continued Performance. The fact that the dispute
resolution procedures specified in this Section 4 shall have been or may be
invoked shall not excuse any Party from performing its obligations under
this Agreement and during the pendency of any such procedure all Parties
shall continue to perform their respective obligations in good faith.
(viii) Tolling. All applicable statutes of limitation shall be
tolled while the procedures specified in this Section 4 are pending. The
Parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
(f) Waiver of Jury Trial. WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 4(D), AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT
ANY PROVISION OF SECTION 4(D) IS HELD BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION NOT TO BE ENFORCEABLE,
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
AND FOR ANY
12
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
(g) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended,
modified or waived except by an instrument in writing duly signed by or on behalf of the parties.
(h) Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms
