Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )N/A. ( 2 )Non-Qualified Stock Option: Vesting is 50% on the third anniversary of the grant and 50% on the fourth anniversary of the grant, provided that Radian's common stock has closed at 25% above the exercise price of the option for 10 consecutive trading days at any point on or after the third anniversary of the grant. ( 3 )Performance Based Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"): Vesting is 100% at the end of the three year performance period, with a potential payout ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award based on Radian's total stockholder return ("TSR") over the three year performance period relative to the median TSR of Radian's primary competitors and the companies listed on the NASDAQ Financial Index. TSR is measured generally as (i) the change in market value of common stock during the period, plus dividends, (ii) divided by the 20 day trading average preceding and including the RSU grant date . The RSUs have no voting or dividend rights and will be settled in cash. ( 4 )The number of RSUs reported (94,020) represents the target award. As discussed in Footnote 3 above, at the end of the performance period, the participant may earn between 0 and 188,040 RSUs, based on the relative performance of Radian's TSR.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
