RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Radian Group Inc. Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) permits the grant of Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee, and the Grantee desires to accept such Restricted Stock Units, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the applicable provisions of the Plan are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by reference, including the definitions of terms contained in the Plan (unless such terms are otherwise defined herein).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
		
	1.
	Grant of Restricted Stock Units.


The Company hereby awards to the Grantee 60,210 Restricted Stock Units (hereinafter, the “Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the vesting and other conditions of these Terms and Conditions. 
		
	2.
	Vesting.


(a)General Vesting Terms.  Provided the Grantee remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate through the applicable vesting date set forth in this Section 2 (the “Vesting Date”) and meets all applicable requirements set forth in these Terms and Conditions, the Restricted Stock Units awarded under these Terms and Conditions shall vest as follows, except as set forth in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e) below (the period over which the Restricted Stock Units vest is referred to as the “Restriction Period”):
	
		
	Vesting Date
	Vested Restricted Stock Units

	1st Anniversary of the Grant Date
	33% of the awarded Restricted Stock Units

	2nd Anniversary of the Grant Date
	33% of the awarded Restricted Stock Units

	3rd Anniversary of the Grant Date
	34% of the awarded Restricted Stock Units




(b)Retirement.  
(i)If the Grantee terminates employment during the Restriction Period because of the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest in full on the date of such termination of employment.
(ii)For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Retirement” shall mean the Grantee’s separation from service without Cause, other than on account of death or Disability (as defined below), (A) following the Grantee’s attainment of age 65 and completion of five years of service with the Company or an Affiliate, or (B) following the Grantee’s attainment of age 55 and completion of 10 years of service with the Company or an Affiliate.
(iii)For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to the term in the Employment Agreement between the Grantee and the Company dated February 8, 2017 (the “Employment Agreement”). In the event that the Committee determines that the Grantee engaged in any of the foregoing activities that are grounds for termination for Cause at any time, the Committee may determine that the Grantee’s termination of employment was a termination for Cause, even if not so designated at the date of termination.











(c)Involuntary Termination. 
(i)If the Grantee terminates employment during the Restriction Period because of an Involuntary Termination, the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest in full on the date of such termination of employment.  
(ii)For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Involuntary Termination” shall mean the Grantee’s separation from service from the Company and its Affiliates on account of a termination by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, other than on account of Retirement, death or Disability; provided the Grantee signs and does not revoke a release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates in a form provided by the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable. A termination by the Grantee for Good Reason under the Employment Agreement shall be deemed to be an Involuntary Termination. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Good Reason” shall have the meaning ascribed to the term in the Employment Agreement.
(d)Death or Disability.  In the event of the Grantee’s death or Disability while employed by the Company or an Affiliate during the Restriction Period, the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest in full on the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental impairment of sufficient severity that the Grantee is both eligible for and in receipt of benefits under the long-term disability program maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, and that meets the requirements of a disability under section 409A of the Code, provided that the Grantee completes 30 days of active service with the Company at any time after the Grant Date and prior to the first Vesting Date. The date of Disability for purposes of these Terms and Conditions is the date on which the Grantee commences to receive such long-term disability benefits. In the event that the Grantee is not in active service on the Grant Date (for example, on account of short-term disability) and the Grantee does not return to the Company and complete 30 days of active service with the Company prior to the first Vesting Date, the award will be forfeited.
(e)Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the Restriction Period, a Change of Control occurs and the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, or the Grantee terminates employment for Good Reason, and the Grantee’s date of termination of employment (or in the event of the Grantee’s termination for Good Reason, the event giving rise to Good Reason) occurs during the period beginning on the date that is 90 days before the Change of Control and ending on the date that is one year following the Change of Control, the unvested Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest as of the Grantee’s date of termination of employment (or, if later, on the date of the Change of Control).
(f)Other Termination.  Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e), in the event of a termination of employment, the Grantee will forfeit all Restricted Stock Units that do not vest either before the termination date or on the termination date associated with such termination. Except as provided in Section 2(e), no Restricted Stock Units will vest after the Grantee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate has terminated for any reason. For clarification purposes, in the event the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units held by such Grantee shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.
		
	3.
	Restricted Stock Units Account.


The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on its records for the Grantee and shall credit the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units to the bookkeeping account.
		
	4.
	Conversion of Restricted Stock Units.


(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, if the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2(a), the Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units within 90 days after the applicable Vesting Date.  
(b)The vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid earlier than the applicable Vesting Date in the following circumstances:
(i)If the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2(b) (Retirement), Section 2(c) (Involuntary Termination), or Section 2(d) (death or Disability), the Grantee shall receive payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units within 90 days after the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment on account of Retirement, Involuntary Termination or death, or the date of Disability, as applicable.
(ii)If a Change of Control occurs and the Grantee’s employment terminates in accordance with Section 2(e), the Grantee shall receive payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units within 90 days after the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment (or, if later, on the date of the Change of Control).
(c)On the applicable payment date, each vested Restricted Stock Unit credited to the Grantee’s account shall be settled in whole shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units, subject to compliance with the six-month delay described in Section 16 below, if applicable, and the payment of any federal, state, local, or foreign withholding taxes as described in Section 12 below, and subject to compliance with the Restrictive Covenants (as defined 











in Section 6(a) below). The obligation of the Company to distribute shares shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan and to all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including as set forth in Section 14 below.
		
	5.
	Certain Corporate Changes. 


If any change is made to the Common Stock (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or exchange of shares or any other change in capital structure made without receipt of consideration), then unless such event or change results in the termination of all the Restricted Stock Units granted under these Terms and Conditions, the Committee shall adjust, as provided in the Plan, the number and class of shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units held by the Grantee to reflect the effect of such event or change in the Company’s capital structure in such a way as to preserve the value of the Restricted Stock Units. Any adjustment that occurs under the terms of this Section 5 or the Plan will not change the timing or form of payment with respect to any Restricted Stock Units except in accordance with section 409A of the Code.
		
	6.
	Restrictive Covenants. 


(a)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee remains subject to the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, inventions assignment, and non-disparagement provisions to the extent described in (including incorporated by reference into) Section 14 of the Employment Agreement, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement dated February 8, 2017 between the Grantee and the Company, the Company’s Code of Conduct (as defined in the Employment Agreement), and any other written agreements between the Company and the Grantee (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”). 
(b)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Grantee breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants or the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, including a determination by the Committee that the Grantee has engaged in any activity, at any time, that would be grounds for termination of the Grantee’s employment for Cause:
(i)    The Committee may in its discretion determine that the Grantee shall forfeit the outstanding Restricted Stock Units (without regard to whether the Restricted Stock Units have vested, except as to the vested shares where forfeiture of vested shares is expressly prohibited by law), and the outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall immediately terminate, and
(ii)    The Committee may in its discretion require the Grantee to return to the Company any shares of Common Stock received in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; provided, that if the Grantee has disposed of any shares of Common Stock received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, then the Committee may require the Grantee to pay to the Company, in cash, the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of disposition. The Committee shall exercise the right of recoupment provided in this subsection (b)(ii) within (x) 180 days after the Committee’s discovery of the Grantee’s breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants, or (y) within 180 days after the later of (A) the Grantee’s termination of employment by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, or (B) the Committee’s discovery of circumstances that, if known to the Committee, would have been grounds for termination for Cause; provided, however, that this right of recoupment shall not limit the Board’s recoupment authority under any applicable clawback or recoupment policy of the Board.
		
	7.
	No Stockholder Rights.


The Grantee has no voting rights and no rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents or other ownership rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units.
		
	8.
	Retention Rights.


Neither the award of Restricted Stock Units, nor any other action taken with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate Grantee’s employment or service at any time.
		
	9.
	Cancellation or Amendment.


This award may be canceled or amended by the Committee, in whole or in part, in accordance with the applicable terms of the Plan.

Without limiting the foregoing, upon payment of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company may withhold shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units to cover any of the applicable withholding for related FICA tax and income tax liabilities.
		
	13.
	Governing Law.  


The validity, construction, interpretation, and effect of this instrument shall exclusively be governed by, and determined in accordance with, the applicable laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle. 
		
	14.
	Grant Subject to Applicable Laws and Company Policies.


These Terms and Conditions shall be subject to any required approvals by any governmental or regulatory agencies.

Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the Plan, these Terms and Conditions, and the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be subject to all applicable laws, including any laws, regulations, restrictions, or governmental guidance that becomes applicable in the event of the Company’s participation in any governmental programs, and the Committee reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions and the Restricted Stock Units as necessary to conform to any restrictions imposed by any such laws, regulations, restrictions, or governmental guidance or to conform to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies, and other policies that may be implemented by the Board from time to time. As a condition of participating in the Plan, and by the Grantee’s acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee is deemed to have agreed to any such modifications that may be imposed by the Committee, and agrees to sign such waivers or acknowledgments as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate with respect to such modifications.

	16.
	Section 409A.


This award of Restricted Stock Units is intended to be exempt from or comply with the applicable requirements of section 409A of the Code and shall be administered in accordance with section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if the Restricted Stock Units constitute “deferred compensation” under section 409A of the Code and the Restricted Stock Units become vested and settled upon the Grantee’s termination of employment, payment with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be delayed for a period of six months after the Grantee’s termination of employment if the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined under section 409A of the Code (as determined by the Committee), if required pursuant to section 409A of the Code. If payment is delayed, the shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be distributed within 30 days of the date that is the six-month anniversary of the Grantee’s termination of employment. If the Grantee dies during the six-month delay, the shares shall be distributed in accordance with the Grantee’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, payments made with respect to this award of Restricted Stoc











k Units may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by section 409A of the Code, and all payments to be made upon a termination of employment hereunder may only be made upon a “separation from service” as defined under section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of these Terms and Conditions would cause a conflict with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of the Restricted Stock Units to fail to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event shall a Grantee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. If the Restricted Stock Units constitute “deferred compensation” under section 409A of the Code and payment is subject to the execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, and if payment with respect to the Restricted Stock Units that is subject to the execution of the release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute and attest this instrument, and the Grantee has placed his or her signature hereon, effective as of the Grant Date set forth above.
