2025 Long-Term Incentive Awards

On May 21, 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”) granted annual long-term incentive awards (the “2025 LTI Awards”) to the Company’s executive officers, including the following persons who are named in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table of the Company’s 2025 Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2025: Richard G. Thornberry, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; Sumita Pandit, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer; Derek V. Brummer, the Company’s former President of Mortgage Insurance and current advisor to the Company; Edward J. Hoffman, the Company’s Senior EVP, General Counsel; and Eric Ray, the Company’s Senior EVP, Chief Digital Officer (collectively referred to herein as, the “Named Executive Officers”).

All of the 2025 LTI Awards granted by the Company, including those awarded to the Named Executive Officers, as described in more detail below, were granted under the Radian Group Inc. 2021 Equity Compensation Plan.

Each Named Executive Officer’s 2025 LTI Award is comprised of the following: (1) performance-based restricted stock units that will vest based on growth in the Company’s “LTI Book Value per Share” (as defined below), as may be adjusted by the “Relative TSR Modifier” (as defined below), over a three-year performance period (the “BV RSUs”); and (2) time-based restricted stock units that will vest over three years in pro rata installments (“Time-Based RSUs”). Consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, the BV RSUs comprise the majority of each Named Executive Officer’s 2025 LTI Award.

2025 Performance-Based Awards – BV RSUs

The Committee granted a target number of BV RSUs to each Named Executive Officer (“BV RSU Target”) in the following target amounts: Mr. Thornberry – 131,100 RSUs; Ms. Pandit – 50,420 RSUs; Mr. Brummer – 40,340 RSUs; Mr. Hoffman – 27,230 RSUs; and Mr. Ray – 18,160 RSUs.

The BV RSUs will vest on May 15, 2028, subject to the attainment of specified performance goals (as described below), as well as certain conditions described below under “Termination of Employment Events.” Each vested BV RSU will be payable in one share of the Company’s common stock, following a one-year holding period after vesting.

On the vesting date, each Executive will become vested in a number of BV RSUs (from 0 to 200% of the Executive’s BV RSU Target) based on the Company’s cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share (resulting in the “BV Payout Percentage”), as modified by the Relative TSR Modifier, over a three-year performance period from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028 (“Performance Period”).

The BV Payout Percentage associated with the cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share will be determined based on a comparison to the following reference points:

Cumulative Growth in LTI Book<br> <br>Value per Share^(1)^ BV Payout Percentage^(1)^<br> <br>(Percentage of BV RSU Target)
≥48% 200%
33% 100%
≤18%^(2)^ 0%
(1) If the Company’s cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share falls between two referenced percentages, the BV Payout Percentage will be interpolated. The Company’s “LTI Book Value per Share” is defined as: (A) book value adjusted to exclude: (1) accumulated other comprehensive income; and (2) the impact, if any, during the Performance Period from declared dividends on common shares and dividend equivalents on outstanding equity awards; divided by (B) basic shares of common stock outstanding.
--- ---

If the Company’s cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share is less than or equal to 18%, the BV Payout Percentage will be zero. The results of the BV Payout Percentage, as described above, will be modified by a Relative TSR Modifier based on the Company’s cumulative three-year total stockholder return for the Performance Period (“Company Absolute TSR”) as compared to a simple average total stockholder return of the companies designated as the Company’s peer group for purposes of the BV RSUs (“Average Peer Group TSR” and as compared to the Company Absolute TSR, the “Comparative TSR Performance”) based on the reference points set forth below. If, however, the Company Absolute TSR is negative, no positive adjustment will be made to the BV Payout Percentage as a result of the Relative TSR Modifier.

Company Absolute TSR vs.<br> <br>Average Peer Group TSR<br> <br>( Comparative TSR Performance) Relative TSR Modifier^(1)^
≥10.5% 25.00%
8.00% 18.75%
5.50% 12.50%
3.00% 6.25%
0.50% 0.00%
-2.00% -6.25%
-4.50% -12.50%
-7.00% -18.75%
≤9.50% -25.00%
(1) If the Comparative TSR Performance falls between two referenced percentages, the Relative TSR Modifier will be interpolated.
--- ---

The BV Payout Percentage will be adjusted by the Relative TSR Modifier by adding or subtracting the Relative TSR Modifier to the BV Payout Percentage. The actual number of BV RSUs that vest with respect to the Performance Period will be determined by multiplying an Named Executive Officer’s BV RSU Target by the BV Payout Percentage, after adjustment by the Relative TSR Modifier, unless the Company Absolute TSR is negative, in which case no positive adjustment will be made as a result of the Relative TSR Modifier. Additionally, in no event will the number of BV RSUs that vest exceed 200% of the Executive’s BV RSU Target.

The BV RSUs include a one-year holding period after vesting, such that the vested BV RSUs will not be convertible into shares (other than shares withheld to pay taxes due at vesting) until the one-year anniversary of the vesting date of the BV RSUs. However, as set forth in the applicable grant instrument, the post-vesting holding period will cease to apply in certain circumstances, such as (i) the Named Executive Officer’s death or disability, (ii) the Named Executive Officer’s Involuntary Termination (as defined below) in connection with a change of control before the end of the Performance Period, or (iii) the occurrence of a change of control after the end of the Performance Period.

The BV RSU awards provide for “double trigger” vesting in the event of a change of control. In the event of a change of control of the Company before the end of the three-year performance period, absent an Involuntary Termination (as defined below), the BV RSUs will become vested on the vesting date of the BV RSUs following the end of the three-year performance period in an amount equal to the projected BV Payout Percentage for the full performance period, estimated as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately prior to the change of control, and as modified by the Relative TSR Modifier by applying the Relative TSR Modifier as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately prior to the change of control (the “CoC Performance Level”).

Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive dividend equivalents on their BV RSU awards, as described below under “Dividend Equivalents.” The treatment of the BV RSU awards upon the occurrence of certain employment termination events is described under “Termination of Employment Events” below.

2025 Time-Based RSUs

The Committee granted Time-Based RSUs to the Named Executive Officers in the following amounts: Mr. Thornberry – 78,600 RSUs; Ms. Pandit – 30,230 RSUs; Mr. Brummer – 24,190 RSUs; Mr. Hoffman – 16,330 RSUs; and Mr. Ray – 10,890 RSUs.

The Time-Based RSUs are scheduled to vest in three pro rata installments on May 15, 2026, May 15, 2027 and May 15, 2028, subject to the occurrence of certain employment termination events described under “Termination of Employment Events” below.

Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive dividend equivalents on their Time-Based RSU awards as described below under “Dividend Equivalents.”

Termination of Employment Events

Generally, the 2025 LTI Awards would be treated as follows if the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated for the following reasons:

Termination Event BV RSUs Time-Based RSUs
Voluntary Termination All unvested BV RSUs are forfeited All unvested Time-Based RSUs are forfeited
Involuntary Termination*<br> <br>(No Change of Control) •   Except as set forth below, the target number of BV RSUs will be prorated for the number of months served between the grant date and date of termination, with vesting occurring on the original vesting date at the BV Performance Level<br> <br><br> <br>•   If terminated within six months of the grant date, the BV RSUs will be forfeited<br> <br><br> <br>•   If terminated during the six-months prior to the original vesting date, the BV RSUs will not be prorated (Executive is eligible for full value of award) •   If terminated on or before the first vesting date of the Time-Based RSUs, 33% of the Time-Based RSUs will automatically vest, and the remaining Time-Based RSUs will be forfeited<br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br>•   If terminated after the first vesting date of the Time-Based RSUs, any unvested Time-Based RSUs will automatically vest on the date of termination
Involuntary Termination*<br> <br>(Occurring 90 Days Before or One Year After Change of Control) Accelerate vesting of BV RSUs as of the termination date (or, if later, on the date of the Change of Control) at the CoC Performance Level Accelerate vesting of Time-Based RSUs in full on the termination date (or, if later, on the date of the Change of Control)
Death / Disability Accelerate vesting of BV RSUs as of the date of death or disability at the BV RSU Target or, if a change of control has occurred, at the CoC Performance Level. Accelerate vesting of Time-Based RSUs in full on date of death or disability
Retirement BV RSUS are not forfeited and vest on the original vesting date at the BV Performance Level or, if a change of control has occurred, at the CoC Performance Level. Accelerate vesting of Time-Based RSUs in full on retirement date
* An “Involuntary Termination” is generally defined as a termination of the Named Executive Officer’s employment by the Company other than for “cause” or a Named Executive Officer’s termination of employment for “good reason,” as each term is defined in the Named Executive Officer’s executive severance agreement.
--- ---

Dividend Equivalents

Executives are entitled to receive dividend equivalents on their 2025 LTI Awards. In general, the 2025 LTI Awards provide that upon the declaration and payment by the Company of a cash dividend on its common stock, each Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive a cash amount equal to the per-share cash dividend paid by the Company (a “Dividend Equivalent”), multiplied by the total number of BV RSUs and Time-Based RSUs subject to such award, with the number of BV RSUs initially measured at target and adjusted at vesting based on performance under the award. Any Dividend Equivalents credited to a 2025 LTI Award are subject to the same vesting, payment, forfeiture and other terms and conditions as the related award, including, as it relates to the BV RSUs, the requirement that certain specified performance conditions be met.

Dividend Equivalents will accrue on unvested 2025 LTI Awards in a non-interest bearing book account and will not be paid to the Executives prior to vesting of the 2025 LTI Awards. Unless the 2025 LTI Award is otherwise deferred under the Company’s deferred compensation plan for executives, such Dividend Equivalents, as adjusted to take into account achievement of the applicable performance goals with respect to the BV RSUs, will be paid when the 2025 LTI Awards vest. If and to the extent that the underlying 2025 LTI Awards are forfeited, all related Dividend Equivalents will be forfeited. With respect to the BV RSUs, Dividend Equivalents that accrue during the one-year holding period following the vesting of the BV RSUs will be paid when dividends are paid on the underlying common stock of the Company.

The foregoing summary of the 2025 LTI Awards is not a complete description of all of the terms and conditions of the BV RSUs and the Time-Based RSUs, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of grant instruments, which the Company plans to file as exhibits to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Severance Plan

On May 21, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), upon the recommendation of the Committee, the Board adopted and approved the Radian Group Inc. Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), effective as of the Effective Date. The Severance Plan formalizes the Company’s current severance practices and is intended to provide a transparent, structured and standardized framework for providing benefits, including severance pay, to Eligible Employees (as defined in the Severance Plan) who are involuntarily terminated from employment.

The Severance Plan does not alter or supersede any written current or future severance agreement between the Company and an individual employee (“Alternative Severance Arrangement”), including the Company’s Named Executive Officers, and employees with Alternative Severance Arrangements are not entitled to benefits under the Severance Plan. Accordingly, notwithstanding the adoption of the Severance Plan, the Company’s Named Executive Officers will continue to remain entitled to receive the compensation and other benefits applicable to a qualifying termination under their previously disclosed Executive Severance Agreements, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2025.

Eligible Employees who are involuntarily terminated without Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) will be eligible to receive the severance pay and other benefits provided for in the Severance Plan, as further described below. For an Eligible Employee to receive any severance amounts under the Severance Plan, the Eligible Employee must sign and (as applicable) not revoke a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Company.

Notice Period

Except as otherwise provided in the Severance Plan, the Company will provide Eligible Employees with a minimum advance notice period of employment termination of sixty (60) days (the “Notice Period”). During the Notice Period, the Eligible Employee will receive base cash compensation and Company benefits at the same level as in effect immediately before the Notice Period.

Severance Pay

The Company will pay an Eligible Employee an amount of severance based on compensation grade, ranging from four weeks of severance plus one week per year of service, up to 52 weeks of severance for, in each case less the number of weeks in the Notice Period during which the Eligible Employee does not actively work. In all cases, the total weeks of severance pay is subject to a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 52 total weeks. In addition, an Eligible Employee whose employment is terminated between October 1 and December 30 of any year will be entitled to a lump-sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to 50% of their target STI award for the year of termination.

Other Severance Benefits

Subject to the terms and conditions in the Severance Plan and the Company’s applicable health plan, the Eligible Employee may elect continued health coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) pursuant to the Company’s health plan in which the Eligible Employee participates as of the termination effective date. If an Eligible Employee elects continued health coverage, then during the “Coverage Period” (as defined in the Severance Plan) the Company will pay the monthly COBRA premium for such continued health coverage, less an amount equal to the premium charge paid by the Company’s active employees for such coverage under the Company’s health plan as in effect on the termination effective date (“Employee Premium”). The Eligible Employee will be responsible for payment of the Employee Premium. Outplacement or career transition benefits are also provided for in the Severance Plan

The Severance Plan includes provisions for the payment of accrued but unused paid time off, as well as payments under certain of the Company’s incentive compensation plans. The Severance Plan does not alter the treatment of awards granted under the Radian Group Inc. Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) Plan for Employees or the Radian Group Inc. Equity Compensation Plan, which will continue to be treated in accordance with the terms of those plans.

The description of the benefits provided under the Severance Plan herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Severance Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Radian Group Inc.

Severance Plan

INTRODUCTION

Radian Group Inc. (“Radian”) has established the Radian Group Inc. Severance Plan (the “Plan”), effective May 21, 2025, for the benefit of its Eligible Employees (as defined below). Radian and its affiliates and subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “Radian” or the “Company.” This Plan is designed to give the Company a basis to provide severance pay to certain employees who are terminated from employment. This document is designed to serve as both the Plan document and the summary plan description. The legal rights and obligations of any person having an interest in this Plan are determined solely by the provisions of this Plan, as interpreted by the Plan Administrator (as defined below).

The Company has sole discretion to determine whether an employee may be considered eligible for benefits under this Plan. This Plan does not guarantee any employee the right to receive severance or other benefits or to continue in the employment of the Company. This Plan is unfunded, has no trustee, and is administered by the Plan Administrator. This Plan is intended to be an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). This Plan is also intended to be a “separation pay plan” under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and shall be maintained, interpreted and administered accordingly. This Plan is not intended to be a pension plan under ERISA and will be maintained and administered so as not to be a pension plan.

This Plan supersedes all prior severance pay plans and practices of the Company, whether formal or informal or written or unwritten. However, this Plan does not alter or supersede any written severance or employment agreement between the Company and an individual employee (or former employee). Further, no additional severance pay shall be provided under this Plan to an employee who is expected to receive severance pay under a written severance or employment agreement with the Company or a former employee who has previously received such pay under a written severance or employment agreement with the Company. Any incentive payments to be made at or after termination of employment shall be governed by the terms of the applicable incentive plan, except as specifically provided otherwise herein.

COVERAGE AND ELIGIBILITY

All exempt and nonexempt, full-time and part-time employees of the Company, unless otherwise excluded by the Company or by the terms of this Plan, are eligible to participate in this Plan (“Eligible Employees”). Part-time employees are employees who are not in temporary status and who are regularly scheduled to work less than a full-time schedule. An Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive severance and other benefits under this Plan if the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, other than in circumstances described below, and the Eligible Employee meets all requirements of this Plan.

LOGO

Individuals who are not eligible for coverage under this Plan include (i) individuals classified as independent contractors, (ii) individuals who provide services as consultants, (iii) employees classified as temporary by the Company, and (iv) any employees of an entity acquired by the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. If a person described in clause (i) or (ii) is subsequently classified by the Company, the Internal Revenue Service, or a court as an employee, such person, for purposes of this Plan, shall be deemed an employee from the actual (and not the effective) date of such classification, but shall nonetheless be ineligible for coverage under this Plan unless and until the Company determines in its sole discretion that such employees will be eligible to participate in this Plan.

A Company employee also will not be eligible to receive severance and other benefits under this Plan in any of the following circumstances:

1. The employee is discharged by the Company for Cause.

“Cause” shall mean: (a) indictment for, conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, a felony or a crime involving fraud, misrepresentation, or moral turpitude (excluding traffic offenses other than traffic offenses involving the use of alcohol or illegal substances); (b) fraud, dishonesty, theft, or misappropriation of funds in connection with the employee’s duties with the Company; (c) material violation of Radian’s Code of Conduct or employment policies, as in effect from time to time; (d) a breach of any written confidentiality, nonsolicitation or noncompetition covenant with the Company; or (e) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the employee’s duties with the Company.

2. The employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Performance Improvement Plan or corrective<br>action.
3. Prior to or on the Termination Effective Date (as defined below), the employee dies or experiences a physical<br>or mental condition entitling the employee to long- term benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or workers compensation.
--- ---
4. The employee’s separation from the Company is voluntary.
--- ---
5. The Company eliminates the employee’s position and offers the employee another position with the Company<br>with base cash compensation that is equal to, or not more than 10% less than, the employee’s base cash compensation in effect immediately before elimination of the Eligible Employee’s position.
--- ---
6. The employee’s termination of employment is related to a corporate transaction, such as a sale of assets<br>or stock (including the sale of a division or business unit), or an outsourcing arrangement, and the employee is offered employment by a successor or other entity involved in the transaction or outsourcing arrangement.
--- ---
7. The employee is eligible to receive severance benefits under any employment agreement, severance agreement or<br>other agreement or arrangement with the Company.
--- ---

The Company retains sole discretion to make exceptions to an employee’s ineligibility in the foregoing circumstances.

PLAN BENEFITS

Any Eligible Employee who satisfies this Plan’s requirements, including signing and (as applicable) not revoking a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Company (a “Release Agreement”) and complying with all terms and conditions thereof, shall be eligible to receive the severance and other benefits described in this section.

A. Notice Period

Except as provided herein, the Company will provide Eligible Employees with a minimum advance notice period of employment termination of sixty (60) days (the “Notice Period”). The Notice Period will be a paid notice period during which the employee will receive base cash compensation at the same level as in effect immediately before the Notice Period. During part or all of the Notice Period, the Company may either: (i) require the Eligible Employee to continue actively working, or (ii) place the Eligible Employee on paid administrative leave. In either case, the Eligible Employee will continue to be eligible for Company employee benefits (other than severance pay, which is covered by the terms of this Plan) during the Notice Period subject to the terms of the applicable employee benefit plans. The Notice Period shall run concurrently with any notice period required pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or other applicable law.

Any severance pay under this Plan, shall commence following the last day of employment (the “Termination Effective Date”) for an Eligible Employee.

B. Severance Pay

Schedule A describes the current severance practice. As further described in Schedule A, total weeks of severance pay will be offset by the number of weeks in the Notice Period, unless otherwise required by applicable law. However, if an Eligible Employee is required to actively work through part or all of the Notice Period, the Company will only offset their weeks of severance pay by the number of weeks for which they do not actively work. Furthermore, should an Eligible Employee receive any statutorily mandated severance pay (including without limitation statutory severance pursuant to the Millville Dallas Airmotive Plant Job Loss Notification Act or any other similar law), the total weeks of severance pay described in Schedule A will be offset by the amount of such statutory severance.

The Company will provide severance as determined in Schedule A between the following minimum and maximum payment amounts to Eligible Employees who meet the applicable Plan requirements for severance:

Minimum payment – 2 weeks of severance (not inclusive of the paid Notice Period and/or any statutory<br>severance) (all grades)
Maximum payment – 52 weeks of severance (inclusive of the paid Notice Period and any statutory severance)<br>(all grades)
--- ---

LOGO

Severance pay offered pursuant to this Plan will be made as a salary continuation benefit commencing within 60 days following the Termination Effective Date, subject to the Eligible Employee’s return of the executed Release Agreement and expiration of any applicable revocation period. Payments will continue on scheduled paydays through the severance period, subject to all taxes and withholdings. The first payment will include any unpaid installments for the period between the Termination Effective Date and the severance commencement date.

As a condition of receiving severance, the Eligible Employee must, among other requirements specified in the Release Agreement, return all Company property as directed by the Company, and the Eligible Employee must comply with all applicable confidentiality, non-competition, non- solicitation, inventions assignment and other covenants with the Company, including ongoing obligations under the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics.

C. Continuation of Health, Dental and/or Vision Benefits

An Eligible Employee may elect continued health coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) pursuant to the Company’s health plan in which the Eligible Employee participates as of the Eligible Employee’s Termination Effective Date, subject to the terms of the health plan. The COBRA election will be made pursuant to, and governed by, applicable regulations and eligibility requirements under COBRA. Subject to the terms of the Company’s health plan, Eligible Employees participating in the Company’s health plan may be eligible to select a different offered plan and may be eligible to continue coverage for their spouse and eligible dependents if they participated in the Company’s health plan as of the Eligible Employee’s Termination Effective Date.

The Eligible Employee shall be responsible for paying the monthly premiums for the COBRA health plan coverage as described below. The monthly cost of such coverage shall be the premium determined for purposes of continued coverage under section 4980B(f)(4) of the Code (“COBRA Premium”) in effect from time to time.

If the Eligible Employee receives severance pay under this Plan after meeting the requirements of this Plan (including signing and not revoking a Release Agreement), during the Coverage Period described below or for one (1) month, whichever is greater, the Company will pay the monthly COBRA Premium cost for such continued health coverage, less an amount equal to the premium charge that is paid by the Company’s active employees for such coverage as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Effective Date. The Eligible Employee shall be responsible for the balance of the COBRA Premium, and the Eligible Employee shall be responsible for any tax imposed on the Company subsidy of COBRA Premium. The “Coverage Period” is the period beginning on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the Eligible Employee first becomes covered by any other “group health plan,” as described in section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code, or (B) the last day of the period of severance. The Company shall pay COBRA Premiums pursuant to this paragraph only for the portion of the Coverage Period during which the Eligible Employee continues COBRA coverage under the Company’s health plan.

Eligible Employees must timely pay amounts owed for COBRA health plan coverage, including timely payments pursuant to any applicable grace period(s). Failure to make timely payments of amounts owed for the COBRA health plan coverage will result in final termination of coverage.

The Eligible Employee will be required to promptly notify the Company’s designated COBRA provider of the Eligible Employee’s coverage under another group health plan upon becoming covered by such alternative health plan. The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the Coverage Period.

D. Vacation

Accrued but unused Paid Time Off (“PTO”) will be paid to the Eligible Employee as soon as administratively feasible after the Termination Effective Date or at such other time as required by applicable law. PTO will continue to accrue during the Notice Period until the Termination Effective Date.

E. Incentive Awards

For participants in the Radian Group Inc. Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) Plan for Employees (the “STI Plan”):

If any Eligible Employee (i) has a Termination Effective Date on or between October 1^st^ and December 30^th^ of a year, (ii) receives severance benefits under this Plan subject to meeting the requirements of this Plan (including signing and not revoking a Release Agreement), and (iii) is an eligible participant in the STI Plan for the year in which the Termination Effective Date occurs, then the Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive a non-discretionary severance cash payment in an amount equal to 50% of their target STI that was in place for the year in which the Termination Effective Date occurs. The severance cash payment shall be paid in a single sum within 60 days following the Termination Effective Date, subject to the Eligible Employee’s return of the executed Release Agreement and expiration of any applicable revocation period, and in no event later than March 15 of the year immediately following the year in which the Termination Effective Date occurs.

In all other cases, no non-discretionary severance cash payment will be awarded and paid under this Plan. No other STI amounts will be paid with respect to performance in the year of termination.

If an Eligible Employee’s Termination Effective Date occurs on or after December 31^st^ of a year and prior to payment of any STI for the year, any potential STI amount for the year will be governed by the terms of the STI Plan rather than this Plan and shall be at the Company’s sole discretion.

For participants in other annual incentive compensation plans:

An Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive incentive payments if the Eligible Employee (i) receives severance benefits under this Plan after meeting the requirements of this Plan, (ii) is a participant in a Company annual incentive compensation plan other than the STI Plan, and (iii) is placed on a paid administrative leave Notice Period. In the event all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied, any draw payments associated with the applicable incentive plan will continue during the Notice Period until the Termination Effective Date, subject to potential proration as determined by the Company. To the extent an Eligible Employee actively works during the Notice Period, any incentive payment will be made in accordance with the applicable incentive plan (rather than this Plan), subject to potential proration as determined by the Company.

LOGO

For participants in the Radian Group Inc. Equity Compensation Plan:

Payment or vesting of incentive awards under the Company’s Equity Compensation Plan will be governed by the specifics detailed in the Equity Compensation Plan and award documents.

For participants in monthly or quarterly incentive compensation plans:

An Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive incentive payments if the Eligible Employee (i) receives severance benefits under this Plan after meeting the requirements of this Plan, (ii) is a participant in a Company incentive compensation plan other than the STI Plan, such as sales incentive plans, commission-based plans, or production incentive plans, under which incentive compensation is paid monthly or quarterly, and (iii) is placed on a paid administrative leave Notice Period. In the event all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the Company will continue to pay incentive payments during the Notice Period until the Termination Effective Date. Such incentive payments will be based on an average of the Eligible Employee’s last two full monthly or quarterly performance period payments preceding the commencement of the Notice Period and will be subject to proration as determined by the Company. No payment shall exceed any applicable incentive target set out in the Eligible Employee’s incentive compensation plan letter, or otherwise previously communicated to the Eligible Employee. To the extent an Eligible Employee actively works during the Notice Period, any incentive payment will be made in accordance with the applicable incentive plan (rather than this Plan), subject to potential proration as determined by the Company.

F. Outplacement Assistance

The Company will offer outplacement assistance to Eligible Employees who receive severance benefits under this Plan using a tiered approach based on the Eligible Employee’s compensation grade or as otherwise determined in the Company’s sole discretion.

G. Other Benefits

Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, upon termination of employment, an Eligible Employee’s right to receive benefits from, or continue participation in, any of the Company’s employee benefit programs, including a Company retirement benefit plan, spending accounts, and life and disability insurance, shall cease as of the Eligible Employee’s Termination Effective Date.

However: (i) medical, dental, and prescription benefits will continue through the end of the month of the Termination Effective Date, subject to the terms of the applicable employee benefit plan, and (ii) this Plan does not impact vested and accrued benefits under any employee benefit plans or programs of the Company in which the Eligible Employee maintains vested and accrued benefits.

COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A

This Plan is intended to meet the requirements of the short-term deferral exemption and the separation pay exemption, to the extent applicable, under Code section 409A. If and to the extent that any payment under this Plan is deemed to be deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Code section 409A, this Plan will be operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of Code section 409A and its corresponding regulations. Any payment from this

LOGO

Plan that is subject to the requirements of Code section 409A may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by Code section 409A, including the requirement that deferred compensation payable to a “specified employee” of a publicly traded company be postponed for six months after separation from service. Payments upon termination of employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” to the extent required under Code section 409A. Each payment under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Code section 409A. In no event may an Eligible Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Plan, and if a payment that is subject to Section 409A could be made in more than one calendar year, depending on timing of execution of a Release Agreement, payment will be made in the later calendar year. The Company shall have no liability with respect to the tax consequences of this Plan, including any liability with respect to Section 409A taxation.

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

Adverse BenefitDeterminations

A terminated Eligible Employee does not need to apply for benefits under this Plan (other than COBRA continuation coverage as described above). However, if the terminated Eligible Employee (or their authorized representative) wishes to file a claim related to benefits that they believe they are entitled to, but are not receiving under this Plan, the claim must be in writing and filed with the Plan Administrator, and must be received by the Plan Administrator within 90 days after the Termination Effective Date, or, if benefits have commenced, within 90 days of any reduction or cessation of benefits. If the Plan Administrator denies a claim in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator will provide notice to the terminated Eligible Employee, in writing, within 90 days after the claim is filed, unless the Plan Administrator determines that an extension of time for processing is required. In the event that the Plan Administrator determines that such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the terminated Eligible Employee prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period. The extension shall not exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial period of time and the extension notice shall state the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the benefit decision.

Written notice of any denial of a claim shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the terminated employee:

1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
2) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
--- ---
3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the terminated Eligible Employee to<br>perfect the claim and an explanation as to why such information is necessary; and
--- ---
4) an explanation of this Plan’s claims procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedures,<br>including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal.

Appeal of Adverse Benefit Determinations

The terminated Eligible Employee or their duly authorized representative shall have an opportunity to appeal a claim denial to the Plan Administrator for a full and fair review. The terminated Eligible Employee or their duly authorized representative may:

1) request a review upon written notice to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt of a notice of the<br>denial of a claim for benefits;
2) submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits; and<br>
--- ---
3) examine this Plan and obtain, upon request and without charge, copies of all documents, records, and other<br>information relevant to the terminated Eligible Employee’s claim for benefits.
--- ---

The Plan Administrator’s review shall consider all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the terminated Eligible Employee relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered by the Plan Administrator in the initial benefit determination. A determination on the appeal review by the Plan Administrator will be made not later than 60 days after receipt of a request for review, unless the Plan Administrator determines that an extension of time for processing is required. In the event that the Plan Administrator determines that such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the terminated Eligible Employee prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day period. The extension shall not exceed a period of 60 days from the end of the initial period and the extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date on which the Plan Administrator expects to render the determination on review.

The written determination of the Plan Administrator shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the terminated Eligible Employee:

1) the specific reason or reasons for the decision;
2) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based;
--- ---
3) the terminated Eligible Employee’s right to receive, upon request and without charge, reasonable access<br>to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits; and
--- ---
4) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA.<br>
--- ---

No person may bring an action for any alleged wrongful denial of Plan benefits in a court of law unless the claims procedures set forth above are exhausted and a final determination is made by the Plan Administrator. If the terminated Eligible Employee or other interested person challenges a decision of the Plan Administrator, a review by the court of law will be limited to the facts, evidence and issues presented to the Plan Administrator during the claims procedure set forth above. Facts and evidence that become known to the terminated Eligible Employee or other interested person after having exhausted the claims procedure must be brought to the attention of the Plan Administrator for reconsideration of the claims determination. Issues not raised with the Plan Administrator will be deemed waived.

LOGO

If the terminated Eligible Employee or other duly authorized person has followed this entire claims procedure and at the end of the process the claim is denied by the Plan Administrator, and if the terminated Eligible Employee or other duly authorized person then wishes to file a legal action concerning the claim for benefits, the terminated Eligible Employee or other duly authorized person must commence the legal action within 180 days after the date of the Plan Administrator’s final decision on the claim (i.e., 180 days after the date of the final denial under this claims procedure).

PLAN ADMINISTRATION

The Plan Administrator is the named fiduciary of this Plan for purposes of ERISA. The authority and duties of the Plan Administrator are described in this section and in such charters or other documents as may be adopted from time to time.

The Plan Administrator will be the sole judge of the application and interpretation of this Plan, and will have the discretionary authority to construe the provisions of this Plan, to resolve disputed issues of fact, and to make determinations regarding eligibility for benefits (other than determinations of eligibility to participate in this Plan, which is reserved to the Chief People and Operating Officer, and other determinations that are specifically reserved to the Chief People and Operating Officer or the Company under this Plan). The Plan Administrator shall correct any defect, reconcile any inconsistency, or supply any omission with respect to this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Administrator shall accept determinations made by the Company as to the reason for a termination that renders an Eligible Employee ineligible for benefits. The decisions of the Plan Administrator in all matters relating to this Plan that are within the scope of their authority (including, but not limited to, eligibility for benefits, Plan interpretations, and disputed issues of fact) will be final and binding on all parties.

In the event of any application or interpretation of this Plan relating to severance benefits for the Plan Administrator, the Chief People and Operating Officer shall serve the role of the Plan Administrator. All determinations by the Chief People and Operating Officer or the Company under this Plan will be final and binding on all persons.

To the extent this Plan identifies more than one Plan Administrator, each Plan Administrator may independently fulfill the duties set forth in this Plan without the need for approval of any other Plan Administrator.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN

The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason. Any amendment or termination of this Plan requires a formal written amendment by the Chief People and Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer. No other amendments or terminations shall be effective.

LOGO

CONTROLLING LAW

This Plan will be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to any conflict of law provisions, to the extent not superseded by federal law.

ERISA RIGHTS STATEMENT

As a participant in this Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to:

Receive Information about Your Plan and Benefits

Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as<br>worksites and union halls, all documents governing this Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by this Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and<br>available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of this Plan,<br>including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.<br>
--- ---

Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan, called “fiduciaries” of this Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

Enforce Your Rights

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request materials from this Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that the Plan fiduciaries misuse this Plan’s money or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

However, in all cases, the total weeks of severance pay following the Termination Effective Date is subject to a minimum of 2 weeks. Severance pay is capped at a maximum of 52 total weeks.

If an Eligible Employee actively works through part or all of the Notice Period, their severance pay will only be offset by the number of weeks for which they do not actively work.

For this purpose, an Eligible Employee’s weekly base pay is their weekly rate of wages or salary on the Termination Effective Date, excluding all other pay such as incentive bonuses, other incentive compensation, equity grants,<br>overtime pay, commissions, benefits, or other allowances.
