TRANSITION, SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Transition, Separation and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated July 8, 2024, is made by and between Xxxxx X. XxXxxxx (“Employee”) and Radian Group Inc. (“Radian”). Employee and Radian are parties to this Agreement and are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” This Agreement provides for all payments to which Employee may be entitled from the Company (as defined below), including under the Executive Severance Agreement between Employee and Radian, effective November 14, 2017, as amended, effective November 12, 2019 (“Severance Agreement”).

As used in this Agreement, any reference to Employee shall include Employee, and in their capacities as such, Employee’s heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, legatees, successors, agents and assigns. As used in this Agreement, any reference to the “Company” shall mean Radian and each subsidiary of Radian.

In consideration of the mutual promises, agreements and representations contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

Transition Period.

a) Employee will begin to transition his duties effective July 8, 2024, with the expectation that his employment will terminate effective September 13, 2024.During the period commencing on July 8, 2024 and ending on the termination date described in Section 2 below (the “Transition Period”), Employee will remain employed by the Company on a full-time basis and carry out such duties and responsibilities, which shall be consistent with Employee’s expertise, as requested by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, including transitioning Employee’s duties and responsibilities. As of September 13, 2024 or any earlier date specified by the Company, Employee will be deemed to have resigned as an officer and a director of the Company. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the transition contemplated hereby does not constitute a “Good Reason” event under the Severance Agreement or any other employee benefit or compensation program, plan, or arrangement of the Company or its subsidiaries. Except as specifically incorporated herein, the Severance Agreement is hereby terminated.

b) During the Transition Period, Employee will continue to serve the Company faithfully, conscientiously and to the best of Employee’s ability. Employee shall continue to devote sufficient time, attention, knowledge, energy and skills, during normal working hours, and at such other times as Employee’s duties may reasonably require, to the duties of Employee’s employment.

c) During the Transition Period, Employee will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s compensation and employee benefit plans as they are made available to employees of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans. Nothing in this Section 1(c) shall be construed to require the Company to establish, maintain or continue any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement. Except as otherwise expressly provided by their terms, such compensation or benefit plans, programs or arrangements are subject to modification or termination by the Company at any time.

CONFIDENTIAL

2. Termination of Service. Employee’s employment will terminate on September 13, 2024, unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Section 2. The Company may elect to terminate Employee’s employment before September 13, 2024 in its sole discretion for any reason, in which case Employee is entitled to the payments in Section 3(b) unless Employee is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement). Employee’s termination of employment on September 13, 2024, or earlier as described in this Section 2 or by Employee for any reason, shall be referred to herein as the “Termination Date.” For the avoidance of doubt, if Employee’s employment terminates on account of a termination by the Company for Cause or Employee’s voluntary termination for any reason before September 13, 2024, Employee shall not be entitled to receive the payments described in Section 3(b) below.

Company’s Obligations.

a) Whether or not Employee executes this Agreement or the Second Release of Claims on Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated herein (“Second Release”):

(1) The Company will not contest any application for unemployment compensation that Employee may file; however, Employee acknowledges that the relevant agency, not the Company, ultimately has the authority over the determination of Employee’s eligibility, or lack thereof, for unemployment benefits; and

(2) The Company will pay Employee a lump sum payment for Employee’s accrued but unused paid-time-off days and accrued but unpaid base salary as of the Termination Date. Such payment will be made in a single lump sum by the regular payroll date for the pay period in which the Termination Date occurs.

b) Provided that Employee (1) remains employed in good standing pursuant to this Agreement until the end of the Transition Period, is not terminated for Cause, and does not voluntarily terminate his employment before September 13, 2024, (2) timely signs this Agreement and does not revoke this Agreement, (3) signs the Second Release attached as Exhibit A on or after the Termination Date and does not revoke the Second Release, and (4) complies with the Restrictive Covenants (defined in Section 5(a) below), in lieu of any other severance amounts under any other severance plans or agreements provided by the Company, the Company agrees to pay Employee the following:

(1) The Company shall pay Employee severance pay equal to $712,500.00, which is equal to one and one-half times Employee’s base salary as in effect on the Termination Date. The severance payments shall be paid in bi-weekly installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices over the 18-month period following the Termination Date (the “Severance Period”). The first payment will be made on the first payroll date after the 30^th day following the Termination Date and will include unpaid installments for the period from the Termination Date to the first payment date.

CONFIDENTIAL

(2) The Company shall pay Employee a lump sum cash payment of $712,500.00, which is equal to one and one-half times Employee’s target incentive award under the Radian Group Inc. Short-Term Incentive Plan for Employees (the “STI Plan”). The payment will be made on the first payroll date after the 30^th day following the Termination Date.

(3) The Company shall pay a prorated target incentive award under the STI Plan for the year in which the Termination Date occurs (the “Prorated STI Award”). The Prorated STI Award will be an amount in cash equal to Employee’s target incentive award under the STI Plan for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that Employee was employed by the Company during the year of termination and the denominator of which is 365. For purposes of example only, if Employee’s Termination Date is September 13, 2024, Employee will be entitled to a Prorated STI Award equal to $334,452.06. The Prorated STI Award, if any, will be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll date after the 30^th day following the Termination Date.

(4) During the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which Employee first becomes covered by any other “group health plan” as described in Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or (ii) the last day of the Severance Period (the “Coverage Period”), if Employee elects to receive continued health coverage under the Company’s health plan under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) at a level of coverage at or below Employee’s level of coverage in effect on the Termination Date, the Company will pay the monthly COBRA premium cost for such continued health coverage, less an amount equal to applicable active employee premium charge Employee paid immediately prior to the Termination Date for such health coverage (the “COBRA Benefit”). Income will be imputed to Employee equal to the COBRA Benefit, and the applicable taxes on this imputed income will be deducted from the payments described in Section 3(b)(1). The COBRA Benefit shall commence on the first payroll date that is administratively practicable after the Effective Date (as defined in Exhibit A) (and within 90 days after the Termination Date), and the first such COBRA Benefit payment shall include any payments for the period from the Termination Date to the COBRA Benefit commencement date. The Company shall provide the COBRA Benefit to Employee under this Section 3(b)(4) only for the portion of the Coverage Period during which Employee continues coverage under the Company’s health plan. Employee agrees to notify the Company within five business days of Employee’s coverage under an alternative health plan upon becoming covered by such alternative plan. The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the Coverage Period.

CONFIDENTIAL

(5) The Company shall provide Employee with outplacement services with Career Concepts, Inc.for a period of up to 12 months after the Termination Date, not to exceed $20,000 in cost. Employee should contact Career Concepts, Inc. at (000) 000-0000 to arrange for outplacement services.

(6) Employee will be eligible for accelerated or continued vesting pursuant to the terms of the applicable grant agreements evidencing Employee’s outstanding equity awards, as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.

c) In the event Employee dies after the Termination Date, any payments due to Employee under this Agreement and not paid prior to Employee’s death shall be made to the personal representative of Employee’s estate.

d) Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The amount of any payment or benefit provided for herein shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by other employment or otherwise, except as provided above with respect to the COBRA Benefit.

e) All payments under this Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or governmental rule or regulation. Employee shall be responsible for all taxes applicable to amounts payable under this Agreement.

f) Payments of any incentive compensation under this Agreement shall be subject to Xxxxxx’s Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy, or any other recoupment policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement, to the extent applicable.

g) The Company agrees that it will direct its senior executives not to make or authorize any written or oral statements that are false or defamatory about Employee; provided that nothing in this Section 3(g) shall prevent any person from (a) responding publicly by a truthful statement to incorrect, disparaging or derogatory public statements to the extent reasonably necessary to correct or refute such public statement, or (b) making any truthful statement to the extent (i) necessary with respect to any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement, or (ii) required by law, legal process or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body.

Controlling Law.

a) This Agreement and all matters arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of any doubt, if a Company benefit plan or other employment-related agreement provides in writing that it shall be governed by the laws of another state, then all matters arising out of, or relating to, such benefit plan or other employment-related agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state designated in such benefit plan or other employment-related agreement.

b) All the payments and benefits provided for in Section 3 of this Agreement shall be subject to the Company’s applicable clawback or recoupment policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time in accordance with applicable law.

12. Jurisdiction. Any action arising out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be brought and prosecuted only in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be exclusive. Employee also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers.

13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is construed to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable without regard thereto, except that, in the event the release in Section 4 of this Agreement or the Second Release is held to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, any payments made pursuant to Section 3(b) shall be returned to the Company and no further consideration shall be due. If any covenant or agreement is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the scope thereof, then the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and limit the scope thereof, and the covenant or agreement shall then be enforceable in its reduced form.

14. Amendment. The Parties agree that this Agreement may not be altered, amended or modified, in any respect, except by a writing duly executed by both Parties.

15. Entire Agreement. The Parties understand that no promise, inducement or other agreement not expressly contained herein has been made conferring any benefit upon them; that this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (except as provided in the following sentence), and that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and not recitals only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees that Employee shall remain subject to all Restrictive Covenants, and such Restrictive Covenants will continue in effect according to their terms.

CONFIDENTIAL

16. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, or an exemption, and the provisions of this Section shall apply notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary. Severance benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under the “short-term deferral” exception, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay” exception, to the maximum extent applicable. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each payment shall be treated as a separate payment. With respect to any payments that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, in no event shall Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. With respect to any payments that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, in no event shall the timing of Employee’s execution of the Second Release, directly or indirectly, result in Employee designating the calendar year of payment of any amount set forth in Section 3(b) above, and if a payment of any amount set forth in Section 3(b) above is subject to Section 409A of the Code and could be made in more than one taxable year, based on timing of the execution of this Agreement, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. Any reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
