Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 3, 2010, Radian Guaranty Inc. (“Radian Guaranty”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”), sold its remaining equity interest in Sherman Financial Group LLC (“Sherman”) for approximately $172 million in cash pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Sherman Purchase Agreement”) dated as of May 3, 2010 between Radian Guaranty and Sherman. The Sherman Purchase Agreement terminated certain contractual rights of the Company’s subsidiaries, including the right to a future contingent payment that would have been payable to Radian Guaranty on December 31, 2013, or earlier upon the closing of a sale of Sherman, upon the achievement of certain criteria. The Sherman Purchase Agreement also contained representations and warranties of each party.

This summary of the Sherman Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sherman Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1.

 

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 4, 2010, the Company issued a news release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. A copy of this news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The information included in, or furnished with, this item shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this Item 2.02 in such filing.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

Effective April 30, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Law Amendment”) to impose certain transfer restrictions on any shares of the Company’s common stock issued after that date. The Company has substantial net operating losses (“NOLs”), loss carryforwards and other tax attributes for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes (“tax benefits”) that can generally be used to offset its future taxable income and therefore reduce its U.S. federal income tax obligations. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion of NOL carryforwards. The Company’s ability to use these NOL carryforwards and other tax benefits, however, will be adversely affected if the Company has an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, an ownership change will occur if the “five-percent shareholders,” as defined under Section 382 (a “Section 382 five-percent shareholder”), collectively increase their ownership in the Company (as determined for Section 382 purposes) by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock of the Company owned by such shareholders at any time during a rolling three-year testing period.

The transfer restrictions in the By-Law Amendment prohibit any person from transferring, directly or indirectly, any of the shares of common stock restricted by the By-Law Amendment if the transfer would (i) create or result in a person becoming a Section 382 five-percent shareholder or (ii) increase the stock ownership of any existing Section 382 five-percent shareholder.

The Board (or a committee thereof) has the discretion to grant exemptions to persons or transactions from the transfer restrictions in the By-Law Amendment, if it determines that the transfer will not be likely to limit the availability of the Company’s tax benefits or is otherwise in the best interests of the Company.


In addition to the By-Law Amendment, the Company has adopted the Amended and Restated Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, dated as of February 12, 2010 and as amended on May 3, 2010, between the Company and the Bank of New York Mellon, as rights agent (the “Tax Benefit Preservation Plan”) and proposed an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) that contains substantially similar transfer restrictions as the By-Law Amendment. As described in the Company’s 2010 Proxy Statement filed on April 13, 2010, both the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan and the Charter Amendment have been submitted for approval by the Company’s stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If the Charter Amendment is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Charter Amendment will not become effective and the transfer restrictions in the By-Law Amendment will terminate immediately following the meeting. Additionally, if not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan will also terminate.

In general, the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan and the transfer restrictions contained in the By-Law Amendment and in the Charter Amendment will each terminate if (i) it is not re-approved by the Company’s stockholders every three years, (ii) the Board determines that the transfer restrictions contained therein are no longer necessary for the preservation of the tax benefits, or (iii) the Board determines that the potential limitation on the use of the tax benefits under Section 382 is no longer material to the Company, which the Board has agreed to review annually.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 30, 2010, the Board adopted the By-Law Amendment, which added a new Section 6.06 to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws and imposes certain transfer restrictions on any shares of the Company’s common stock issued after the effective date of the By-Law Amendment. See the description set forth under Item 3.03, which is incorporated by reference herein, for a more complete description of the By-Law Amendment.

The By-Law Amendment was effective upon approval by the Board. The preceding description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2(i) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2.01. Notice, What Constitutes . Whenever, under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“GCL”) or the certificate of incorporation or of these By-laws, notice is required to be given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to require personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, by mail or by telegram (with messenger service specified), electronic transmission or courier service, charges prepaid, or by telephone or facsimile transmission to the address (or to the e-mail address, facsimile or telephone number) of the person appearing on the books of the corporation, or in the case of directors, supplied to the corporation for the purpose of notice. If the notice is sent by mail, telegram or courier service, it shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail or with a telegraph office or courier service for delivery to that person or, in the case of electronic transmission, when sent, or in the case of facsimile transmission, when received.

SECTION 2.02. Notice of Meetings of Board of Directors . Notice of a regular meeting of the board of directors need not be given. Notice of every special meeting of the board of directors shall be given to each director in person or by telephone or in writing at least 24 hours (in the case of notice in person or by telephone, electronic transmission or facsimile transmission) or 48 hours (in the case of notice by telegram, courier service or express mail) or five days (in the case of notice by first class mail) before the time at which the meeting is to be held. Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the board need be specified in a notice of the meeting.

SECTION 2.03. Notice of Meetings of Stockholders . Written notice of the place, date and hour of every meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Every notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes thereof. If the notice is sent by mail, it shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at the address of the stockholder as it appears on the records of the corporation.

SECTION 2.04. Waivers of Notice .

(a) Written Waiver. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provisions of the GCL or the certificate of incorporation or these By-laws, a written waiver, signed by the person or persons entitled to the notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice of such meeting.

(b) Waiver by Attendance. Attendance of a person at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

SECTION 2.05. Exception to Requirements of Notice .

(a) General Rule. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of the GCL or of the certificate of incorporation or these By-laws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given.


(b) Stockholders Without Forwarding Addresses. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of the GCL or the certificate of incorporation or these By-laws, to any stockholder to whom (i) notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) all, and at least two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12 month period, have been mailed addressed to such person at his address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to such person shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person shall deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth the person’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such person shall be reinstated.

SECTION 2.06. Conference Telephone Meetings . One or more directors may participate in a meeting of the board, or of a committee of the board, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

SECTION 3.02. Annual Meeting . The board of directors may fix and designate the date and time of the annual meeting of the stockholders. At said meeting the stockholders then entitled to vote shall elect directors and shall transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

SECTION 3.03. Special Meetings . Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, a majority of the board of directors or the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of common stock of the corporation then-outstanding. At any time, upon the written request of any person or persons who have duly called a special meeting, which written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting, it shall be the duty of the secretary to fix the date of the meeting which shall be held at such date and time as the secretary may fix, not less than ten nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request, and to give due notice thereof. If the secretary shall neglect or refuse to fix the time and date of such meeting and give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.

SECTION 3.04. Quorum, Manner of Acting and Adjournment .

(a) Quorum. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders except as otherwise provided by the GCL, by the certificate of incorporation or by these By-laws. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time. In addition, whether or not there is a quorum, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn any meeting of stockholders to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these By-laws. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(b) Manner of Acting. Directors shall be elected in the manner provided in Section 4.13. In all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the applicable statute, the certificate of incorporation or these By-laws, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of the question. The stockholders present in person or by proxy at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Section 3.05. Stockholder Proposals . Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the board of directors of the corporation may be made at an annual or special meeting only in compliance with Section 4.13 hereof. The proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may only be made (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who (x) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-law and at the time of the annual meeting, (y) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (z) provides timely notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation and complies with the procedures and requirements set forth in this By-law; clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and included in the corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders. To be properly brought before a meeting of stockholders, business must be of a proper subject for action by stockholders under applicable law and must not, if implemented, cause the corporation to violate any state, federal or foreign law or regulation, each as determined in good faith by the board of directors.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed to, and received by, the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not more than 120 days nor less than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120 th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business


on the later of the 90 th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10 th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth (a) as to the stockholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (i) their name and record address, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and/or of record by each of them, (iii) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, has a right to vote any shares of any security of the corporation, (iv) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder, and (v) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (c) an agreement by the stockholder that the stockholder will appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose the consideration of the business, and (d) the information required by Section 3.06. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting. Only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section.

The chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any proposal made at the meeting was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures and, in such event, the proposal shall be disregarded. Any decision by the chairman of the meeting shall be conclusive and binding upon all stockholders of the corporation for any purpose.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-law, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-law; provided, however, that any references in these By-laws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals of business to be considered pursuant to this By-Law.

Section 3.06. Disclosure by Stockholders of Hedged Positions . A notice submitted by a stockholder under Section 3.05 or 4.13 must describe, with respect to the stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person, (i) any Derivative Instrument directly or indirectly beneficially owned by the stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, or any other direct or indirect opportunity for the stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation, (ii) any proportionate interest in shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which the stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, (iii) any short interest in any security of the corporation (for purposes of this By-law a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (iv) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, and (v) any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions that has been entered into by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including, without limitation, any put, short position or any borrowing or lending of shares) that has been made, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk of share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any share of the corporation.

“Stockholder Associated Person” of a stockholder means (i) any person controlling, controlled by, under common control with, or acting in concert with, the stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by the stockholder, and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, a person that is a Stockholder Associated Person pursuant to clause (ii) of this definition.

(b) Voting and Other Action by Proxy.


(1) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for the stockholder as proxy. Such execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or the authorized officer, director, employee or agent of the stockholder signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for the stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission if such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

(2) No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

(3) A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.

SECTION 3.09. Voting Lists . The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. The list shall be arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

SECTION 3.10. Inspectors of Election .

(a) Appointment. All elections of directors shall be by written ballot; the vote upon any other matter need not be by ballot. In advance of any meeting of stockholders the board of directors may appoint one or more inspectors, who need not be stockholders, to act at the meeting and to make a written report thereof. The board of directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the person’s best ability.

(b) Duties. The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, shall determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, shall count all votes and ballots, shall determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and shall certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

(c) Polls. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

(d) Reconciliation of Proxies and Ballots. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information transmitted in accordance with Section 3.08, ballots and the regular books and records of the corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification pursuant to subsection (b) shall specify the precise information considered by them including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.

(b) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.

(c) If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the entire board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorship, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.

SECTION 4.05. Resignations . Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the chairman, chief executive officer, president or secretary of the corporation.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice pertaining to an annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be delivered to or mailed to, and received by, the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not more than 120 days or less than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the case of an annual meeting the date of which is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120 th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90 th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10 th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation; provided, further, however, that in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased board of directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 4.13 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10 th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the board of directors, any stockholder otherwise meeting the requirement of this Section 4.13 may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required above with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed representation and agreement required by Section 4.13(e) of these By-Laws) shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

Such stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are directly or indirectly owned beneficially and/or of record by the person, (iv) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships (including any familial relationships), between or among the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant, and (v) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange


Act of 1934, as amended (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made (i) their names and record addresses, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and/or of record by each of them, (iii) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, has a right to vote any security of the corporation; (c) a representation that the stockholder will appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the individual or individuals proposed in the notice; (d) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the board of directors, include a completed and signed representation and agreement required by Section 4.13(e) of these By-Laws; and (e) the information required in Section 3.06. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(d) The chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any nomination made at the meeting was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures and, in such event, the nomination shall be disregarded. Any decision by the chairman of the meeting shall be conclusive and binding upon all stockholders of the corporation for any purpose.

(e) To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under this Section 4.13) to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the company and (C) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the corporation.

(f) Directors of the corporation shall be elected by the stockholders at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, unless such election of directors is required by the terms of any series of preferred stock. If the number of nominees exceeds the number of directorships to be filled, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. If the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, a nominee shall be elected only if he or she receives a majority of the votes cast. If a nominee is an incumbent director who is standing for re-election and such nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the governance committee, or any other or successor committee responsible for the nomination of directors, must make a recommendation to the board on whether to accept the director’s resignation or whether other action should be taken, unless the director retires from the board before committee action or board action if there is no committee action. The board expects the director whose resignation is under consideration to abstain from participating in any decision regarding that resignation. The board will consider the committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose the board’s decision and the basis for that decision within 90 days from the date of certification of the final election results. However, if less than two members of the governance or successor committee are elected as directors at a meeting for the election of directors, then the board shall consider and act upon the tendered resignation without a recommendation from the committee. The governance committee and the board may consider any factors that they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. If the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, each share of the corporation entitled to be voted on the election of directors may be voted noncumulatively for or against, or the person voting such share may abstain with respect to, each candidate for election. For purposes of this paragraph, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” must exceed the number of shares voted “against” with respect to that director’s election (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as “for” or “against” that director’s election). If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee.

(g) Each director who is nominated to stand for election shall, as a condition to such nomination, tender an irrevocable resignation in advance of the election of directors. Such resignation will be effective if, pursuant to Section 4.13(f) of these By-laws (a) the director does not receive a majority vote in the next election of directors, and (b) the board accepts the resignation, unless the director retires from the board before committee action or board action if there is no committee action. In addition, the board shall fill new director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment by the board, the same form of irrevocable resignation.

SECTION 4.14. Voting of Stock . Unless otherwise ordered by the board of directors, each of the chairman of the board, the principal executive officer (as defined by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) and the principal accounting officer (as defined by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) shall have full power and authority, on behalf of the corporation, to attend and to act and vote, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of the stockholders of any company in which the corporation may hold stock, and at any such meeting shall possess and may exercise any and all of the rights and powers incident to the ownership of such stock which, as the owner thereof, the corporation might have possessed and exercised if present. The board of directors, by resolution adopted from time to time, may confer like powers upon any other person or persons.

SECTION 4.15. Endorsement of Securities for Transfer . Each of the chairman of the board, the principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer shall have the power to endorse and deliver for sale, assignment or transfer certificates for stock, bonds or other securities, registered in the name of or belonging to the corporation, whether issued by the corporation or by any other corporation, government, state or municipality or agency thereof; and the board of directors from time to time may confer like power upon any other officer, agent or person by resolution adopted from time to time. Every such endorsement shall be countersigned by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer.


SECTION 4.16. Lead Director . Unless the corporation shall have a non-executive Chairman of the Board, the directors will elect one of their numbers to serve as Lead Director. The Lead Director will assume such duties as the directors may designate from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.06, this Section 4.16 may only be altered, amended or repealed (a) by vote of the stockholders at a duly organized annual or special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the certificate of incorporation, or (b) by vote of 75% of the entire board of directors at any regular or special meeting of directors.

“Existing Holder Initial Ownership” means, with respect to any Existing Holder, the aggregate Percentage Stock Ownership of such Existing Holder immediately before the Effective Date (as reflected in the most recent Schedule 13D, Schedule 13F or Schedule 13G filed by such Existing Holder before the Effective Date).

For purposes of clause (a)(ii) of this definition, “disposed” means any direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge or other disposition or other action in any manner whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, that reduces the Percentage Stock Ownership of the Existing Holder.

“Five Percent Shareholder” means a Person that is identified as a “five–percent shareholder” of the Corporation Securities pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.382–2T(g)(1) (or any successor provision), but excluding (a) any “direct public group” with respect to the corporation, as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.382–2T(j)(2)(ii) (or any successor provision) or (b) any Exempt Person.

“Percentage Stock Ownership” and similar terms means the direct and indirect percentage stock ownership of any Person for purposes of Section 382 of the Code as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.382–2T(g), (h), (j) and (k) (or any successor provisions) including any ownership by application of constructive ownership rules.

“Person” means an individual, corporation, estate, trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or similar organization, and also includes a group of Persons that is an “entity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382–3(a)(1) (or any successor provision).

“Prohibited Distributions” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.06.3(b).

“Prohibited Transfer” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.06.2(a).

“Purported Transferee” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.06.3(a).

“Request” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.06.2(b).

“Restriction Release Date” means such date, after the Effective Date, that (i) the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation is concluded if the Charter Amendment has not been approved and adopted by the stockholders, or (ii) constitutes the Restriction Release Date under the Charter Amendment.

“Restricted Holder” means a Person that (a) is a Five Percent Shareholder and Acquires or proposes to Acquire additional Corporation Securities, or (b) is proposing to Acquire Corporation Securities, and after such proposed Acquisition of Corporation Securities, would be a Five Percent Shareholder.

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

“Security” or “Securities” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.06.3(d).

“Transfer” means any direct or indirect Acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge or other disposition or other action in any manner whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, by any Person that alters the Percentage Stock Ownership of any Person, or any attempt to do any of the foregoing. A Transfer shall also include the creation or grant of an option (including within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382–2T(h)(4)(v) (or any successor provision)). A Transfer shall include a repurchase of Corporation Securities by the corporation but shall not include an issuance or grant of Corporation Securities by the corporation.

“Treasury Regulation” means a Treasury Regulation promulgated under the Code.

Section 6.06.2 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) In order to preserve the Tax Benefits, from and after the Effective Date and before the Restriction Release Date, no Transfer other than to the corporation shall be permitted, and any such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, as to the amount of any such purported Transfer of Corporation Securities that causes, after giving effect to such purported Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a part), (i) any Person to become a Five Percent Shareholder or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest in the corporation of any Five Percent Shareholder to


increase (a “Prohibited Transfer”). The prior sentence is not intended to prevent the Corporation Securities from being DTC–eligible and shall not preclude the settlement of any transactions in the Corporation Securities entered into through the facilities of a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, provided, that if the settlement of the transaction would result in a Prohibited Transfer, such Transfer shall nonetheless be a Prohibited Transfer.

(b) The restrictions contained in this Section 6.06 are for the purposes of reducing the risk that any “ownership change” (as defined in the Code) of the Corporation Securities may limit the corporation’s ability to utilize its Tax Benefits. In connection therewith, and to provide for effective policing of these provisions, a Restricted Holder who proposes to Acquire Corporation Securities shall, before the date of such proposed Acquisition, request in writing (a “Request”) that the board of directors of the corporation review such proposed Acquisition and authorize or not authorize such proposed Acquisition in accordance with this Section 6.06.2(b). A Request shall be made in accordance with this Section 6.06.2(b) and shall be delivered by fax and by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation. Such Request shall be deemed to have been received by the corporation only when actually received by the corporation. To be made in accordance with this Section 6.06.2(b), a Request shall include (i) the name, address and telephone number of the Restricted Holder, (ii) a description of the Restricted Holder’s existing direct and indirect ownership of Corporation Securities, together with such ownership of all affiliates and associates of the Restricted Holder, (iii) a description of the Corporation Securities that the Restricted Holder proposes to Acquire, (iv) the date on which such proposed Acquisition is expected to take place (or, if such Acquisition is proposed to be made in a transaction on a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, a statement to that effect), (v) the name, address and telephone number of the proposed transferor of the Corporation Securities that the Restricted Holder proposes to Acquire (or, if such Acquisition is proposed to be made in a transaction on a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, a statement to that effect), (vi) a reasonably detailed description of the Acquisition, and (vii) a request that the board of directors authorize, if appropriate, such Acquisition pursuant to this Section 6.06.2(b). The board of directors may authorize an Acquisition by a Restricted Holder, if it determines in its sole discretion, that, such Acquisition will not be likely to directly or indirectly limit the availability to the corporation of the Tax Benefits or is otherwise in the best interests of the corporation and, in such case, the restrictions set forth in Section 6.06.2(a) shall not apply to such Acquisition. If the board of directors authorizes an Acquisition by a Restricted Holder, it may, in its sole discretion, deem such Restricted Holder to be an Existing Holder (and to determine the deemed Existing Holder Initial Ownership) under this Section 6.06. Any determination by the board of directors not to authorize a proposed Acquisition by a Restricted Holder shall cause such proposed Acquisition to be deemed a Prohibited Transfer. Any determination to authorize a proposed Acquisition by a Restricted Holder granted hereunder may be granted in whole or in part, and may be subject to any limitations or conditions (including restrictions on the ability of the Restricted Holder to subsequently transfer Corporation Securities acquired through such authorized Acquisition), in each case as and to the extent the board shall determine in its sole discretion. In addition, the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, require representations from the Restricted Holder or an opinion of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by the board of directors, that the Transfer will not result in the application of any Section 382 limitation on the use of the Tax Benefits or other matters that the board of directors may determine. Any Restricted Holder who makes a Request to the board of directors shall reimburse the corporation, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by the corporation with respect to any proposed Acquisition of Corporation Securities, including the corporation’s costs and expenses incurred in determining whether to authorize the proposed Acquisition, which costs may include any expenses of counsel and/or tax advisors engaged by the board of directors to advise the board of directors or deliver an opinion thereto.

Section 6.06.3 Treatment of Excess Securities.

(a) No employee or agent of the corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer (the “Purported Transferee”) shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Corporation Securities that are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the “Excess Securities”). The Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of a stockholder of the corporation, including the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, such Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities.

(b) If the board of directors determines that a Prohibited Transfer has been recorded by an agent or employee of the corporation notwithstanding the prohibition in Section 6.06.3(a), such recording and the Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio and have no legal effect and, upon written demand by the corporation, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s possession or control, together with any dividends or other distributions that were received by the Purported Transferee from the corporation with respect to the Excess Securities (the “Prohibited Distributions”), to an agent designated by the board of directors (the “Agent”). In the event of an attempted Prohibited Transfer involving the purchase or Acquisition of Corporation Securities in violation of this Section 6.06 by a Restricted Holder, the Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the corporation or the purported transferor, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm’s–length transactions (including over a national securities exchange or national securities quotation system on which the Corporation Securities may be traded); provided, however, that the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if the Agent determines such sale or sales could disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities, could adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities or may be in violation of applicable securities laws. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the corporation’s demand to surrender the Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, unless the corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 6.06.3(c) if the Agent, rather than the Purported Transferee, had resold the Excess Securities.

(c) The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee had previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee, as follows: (i) first, to reimburse itself to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in accordance with its duties hereunder; (ii) second, to reimburse the Purported Transferee for the amounts paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or in the case of any Prohibited Transfer by gift, devise or inheritance or any other Prohibited Transfer without


consideration, the fair market value, calculated on the basis of the closing market price for the Corporation Securities on the day before the Prohibited Transfer), and (iii) third, the remainder, if any, to the original transferor, or, if the original transferor cannot be readily identified, to an entity designated by the corporation’s board of directors that is described in Section 501(c) of the Code, contributions to which must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code. The recourse of any Purported Transferee with respect to any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 6.06.3(c). Except as may be required by law, in no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Section 6.06 inure to the benefit of the corporation or the Agent, except to the extent used to cover expenses incurred by the Agent in performing its duties hereunder.

(d) In the event of any Transfer to the corporation, or any Transfer that does not involve a transfer of securities of the corporation within the meaning of Delaware law (“Securities,” and individually, a “Security”), that would in either case cause (i) any Person to become a Five Percent Shareholder or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest of any Five Percent Shareholder to increase, the application of Section 6.06.3(b) and Section 6.06.3(c) shall be modified as described in this Section 6.06.3(d). In such case, no such Five Percent Shareholder shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Security, but such Five Percent Shareholder and/or any Person whose ownership of Securities is attributed to such Five Percent Shareholder shall be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Securities (which Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such Five Percent Shareholder, after such disposition, not to be in violation of this Section 6.06. Such disposition shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and such number of Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Section 6.06.3(b) and Section 6.06.3(c), except that the maximum aggregate amount payable either to such Five Percent Shareholder, or to such other Person that was the direct holder of such Excess Securities, in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the purported Transfer. All expenses incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Securities shall be paid out of any amounts due such Five Percent Shareholder or such other Person. The purpose of this Section 6.06.3(d) is to extend the restrictions in Section 6.06.2(a) and Section 6.06.3(a) to situations in which there is a Five Percent Shareholder without a direct Transfer of Securities, and this Section 6.06.3(d), along with the other provisions, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities.

(e) If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the corporation makes a demand pursuant to Section 6.06.3(b) or any written demand with respect to a deemed disposition pursuant to Section 6.06.3(d), then the corporation may take any actions it deems necessary to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel such surrender.

(f) If any Person shall knowingly violate, or knowingly cause any other Person under control of such Person (a “Controlled Person”) to violate this Section 6.06 (including failure to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof as demanded by the corporation pursuant to Section 6.06.3(e)), then that Person and any Controlled Person shall be jointly and severally liable to the corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the corporation harmless against, any and all losses and damages suffered as a result of such violation, including any attorneys’ and auditors’ fees incurred in connection with such violation.

Section 6.06.4 Legends; Compliance.

(a) All certificates reflecting Corporation Securities issued on or after the Effective Date shall, until the Restriction Release Date, bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:

THE TRANSFER OF SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.06 OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF RADIAN GROUP INC. A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. IF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE VIOLATED, THEN THE TRANSFER WILL BE VOID AND THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE OF THE STOCK WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER THE EXCESS SECURITIES (AS DEFINED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND THE AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS) TO THE CORPORATION’S AGENT.

(b) The corporation shall have the power to make appropriate notations upon its stock transfer records and to instruct any transfer agent, registrar, securities intermediary or depository with respect to the requirements of this Section 6.06 for any uncertificated Corporation Securities or Corporation Securities held in an indirect holding system. As a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Corporation Securities, any Person who is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Corporation Securities, and any proposed transferee of such Corporation Securities and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed transferee of such Corporation Securities, shall provide such information as the corporation may request from time to time in order to determine compliance with this Section 6.06 or the status of the Tax Benefits of the corporation.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.06 shall limit the authority of the board of directors of the corporation to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to preserve the corporation’s Tax Benefits. The board of directors of the corporation shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for determining compliance with this Section 6.06, including determining (i) the identification of Five Percent Shareholders, Exempt Persons and Restricted Holders, (ii) whether a Transfer or proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the corporation of any Five Percent Shareholders, Exempt Persons and Restricted Holders, (iv) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee, (vi) whether compliance with any restriction or limitation on stock ownership and Transfers are no longer required for preservation of Tax Benefits, (vii) the interpretation of the provisions of this Section 6.06 and the applicability to stockholders of the corporation of the restrictions on Transfer set forth herein, including the establishment of presumptions and procedures related thereto, and the correction or clarification of any errors or ambiguities therein, and (viii) any other matters which the board of directors deems relevant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of


Corporation Securities owned by, any Person, the corporation and the board of directors are entitled to rely on (a) the existence and absence of filings of Schedule 13D, Schedule 13F, or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act (or any similar schedules) as of any date, and (b) its actual knowledge of the ownership of the Corporation Securities. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 6.06, including any definition used herein, the board of directors shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event that this Section 6.06 requires an action by the board of directors but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the board of directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the express provisions of this Section 6.06. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations that are done or made by the board of directors in good faith shall be final, conclusive and binding on the corporation, the Agent, and all other parties to a Transfer. The board of directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Section 6.06 to a committee of the board of directors as it deems advisable or necessary.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.06 shall be construed to give any Person other than the corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Section 6.06. This Section 6.06 shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the corporation and the Agent.

(e) With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the corporation or the Agent provided under this Section 6.06, (i) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party, and (ii) no alteration, modification, or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.

(f) If any provision of this Section 6.06 or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstances shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Section 6.06.

Section 6.06.5 Effectiveness . The restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 6.06 shall apply only to Corporation Securities issued by the corporation (whether from treasury securities or newly issued) on or after the Effective Date and before the Restriction Release Date.

ARTICLE VII

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Other Authorized Representatives

SECTION 7.01. Indemnification of Authorized Representatives . The corporation shall, except to the extent prohibited by the GCL, as amended or modified from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of the corporation at any time during which this By-law is in effect (whether or not such person continues to serve in such capacity at the time any indemnification is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), and who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including without limitation actions by or in right of the corporation, a class of its security holders or otherwise, and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the authorized representative did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 7.02. Mandatory Indemnification of Authorized Representatives . To the extent that an authorized representative or other employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The rights provided by this Section 7.02 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the rights provided under Section 7.01.

SECTION 7.03. Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification . Any indemnification under Section 7.01 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the authorized representative or other employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 and the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred. Such determination shall be made:

(1) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; or

(2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; or

(3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct or the claimant so requests, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(4) by the stockholders.

In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by independent counsel at the request of the claimant, the independent counsel shall be selected by the board of directors unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a “change of control” as defined in the corporation’s 2008 Equity Compensation Plan, as in effect on the date of adoption of these By-Laws, in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the board of directors.


SECTION 7.04. Advancing Expenses . Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending an action, suit or proceeding shall automatically be paid on behalf of an authorized representative by the corporation, without the need for action by the board of directors, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the authorized representative to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the authorized representative is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article. The financial ability of any authorized representative to make a repayment contemplated by this section shall not be a prerequisite to the making of an advance. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

SECTION 7.05. Definitions . For purposes of this Article:

(1) “authorized representative” shall mean any and all present and former directors and officers of the corporation, including any such persons to the extent serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the corporation (whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent), and any other persons designed by the board of directors from time to time, which may include, without limitation, directors and officers of any direct or indirect, majority-owned or wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation;

(2) “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued;

(3) “expenses” shall include attorneys’ fees and disbursements;

(4) “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan;

(5) “include” shall mean include without limitation and shall be interpreted to provide as broad as possible a meaning to the term so modified or defined in this Section 7.05; and

(6) “party” shall include the giving of testimony or similar involvement.

SECTION 7.06. Insurance . The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or any person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

SECTION 7.07. Scope of Article . The indemnification of authorized representatives and advancement of expenses, as authorized by the preceding provisions of this Article, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and such indemnification and advancement rights cannot be terminated by the corporation, the board of directors or the stockholders of the corporation with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an authorized representative and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The duties of the corporation to indemnify and to advance expenses to a director or officer as provided in this Article VII shall be in the nature of a contract between the corporation and each such person, which contractual rights vest at the time of such person’s service to or at the request of the corporation, and no amendment or repeal of any provision of this Article VII shall alter, to the detriment of such person, the right of such person to the advancement of expenses or indemnification related to a claim, whether brought or threatened before or after such amendment or repeal, based on an act or failure to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

SECTION 7.08. Reliance on Provisions . Each person who shall act as an authorized representative of the corporation shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon rights of indemnification provided by this Article.

A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business. Where the stockholder seeks to inspect the books and records of the corporation, other than its stock ledger or list of stockholders, the stockholder shall first establish (1) that the stockholder has complied with the provisions of this section respecting the form and manner of making demand for inspection of such documents; and (2) that the inspection sought is for a proper purpose.

(b) Examination by Directors. Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to the person’s position as a director.

SECTION 8.06. Amendment of By-laws . These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed or new By-laws may be adopted either(a) by vote of the stockholders at a duly organized annual or special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the certificate of incorporation, or (b) by vote of two-thirds of the entire board of directors at any regular or special meeting of directors if such power is conferred upon the board of directors by the certificate of incorporation.

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.

Radian Reports First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Reports first decrease in delinquency count in nearly four years; announces sale of Sherman investment for $172 million in cash

PHILADELPHIA, May 4, 2010 — Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, of $310.4 million, or $3.77 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $217.4 million, or $2.69 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Book value per share at March 31, 2010, was $20.65.

On May 3, 2010, Radian Guaranty sold its remaining equity interest in Sherman Financial, a consumer asset and servicing firm, for approximately $172 million in cash. The impact of the sale, which is expected to result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $70 million, will be reflected in the company’s second quarter results. Prior to the sale, Radian had received a $28 million dividend from Sherman in early April.

“The strength of our core mortgage insurance business remains the top priority at Radian,” said Chief Executive Officer S.A. Ibrahim. “We are encouraged by the decline in our delinquency count this quarter, the first in nearly four years.”

FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

 

   

Radian Guaranty Inc.’s risk-to-capital ratio was 16.9:1 at March 31, 2010, compared to a ratio of 15.4:1 at December 31, 2009, and 17.6:1 at March 31, 2009.

 

   

The mortgage insurance provision for losses was $529.1 million in the first quarter, which includes an increase in mortgage insurance reserves of $146.5 million since December 31, 2009, to $3.6 billion. This increase in reserves, when coupled with the decline in delinquent loans, strengthens Radian’s reserve per delinquency for both primary and pool loans. The reserve increase primarily resulted from an increase in our severity estimates and the continued aging of our default inventory.

The number of primary and pool delinquent loans decreased by 5.3 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2009. This included mortgage insurance terminations that reduced Radian’s primary delinquency count by 4,429 loans. Excluding this termination, the number of primary delinquent loans decreased by 2.4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2009, the first decline in nearly four years. In addition, the number of Radian’s primary delinquent loans declined slightly in April. Radian continues to expect a lower number of delinquent loans at the end of 2010 compared to year-end 2009.

 

   

The company continues to project sufficient holding company liquidity through 2012. As a result of losses generated in the quarter and in order to maintain the minimum surplus requirements for two subsidiaries that reinsure risk from Radian Guaranty, Radian Group contributed $56 million and Radian Guaranty contributed $30 million of capital to these subsidiaries.

 

   

Consistent with Radian’s strategy of actively managing the legacy portfolio and reducing non-core risk, the company terminated a set of structured transactions in the quarter that eliminated $102 million of its modified pool risk in force.

 

   

Total mortgage insurance claims paid were $357.3 million for the first quarter. Excluding the $80.1 million impact from first-lien terminations, the $10.8 million impact from second-lien terminations and net of proceeds received from captive terminations of $0.4 million, claims paid were $266.8 million, which consisted of $258.8 million of first-liens and $8.0 million of second-liens. For 2010, the company continues to expect mortgage insurance claims paid to be approximately $1.5 billion.

 

   

As a result of reduced mortgage industry origination volume and mortgage insurance penetration, new mortgage insurance written (NIW) was $1.9 billion in the quarter. NIW in the quarter continued to consist of loans with excellent risk characteristics, and the company maintained market share of more than 21 percent.

Combined losses recognized on derivatives and other financial instruments totaled $121.6 million in the quarter. This was primarily attributable to unrealized losses resulting from the significant tightening of Radian’s credit default swap spread, partially offset by investment portfolio gains.

 

   

Since the launch of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) last year, nearly 6,000 Radian-insured loans have been completed, including 1,769 loans in 2009 and 4,159 in the first quarter of 2010. As of March 31, 2010, more than 28,000 Radian-insured primary loans were pending completion of a modification program, including HAMP, which represents nearly 20 percent of Radian’s primary delinquencies. This compares to more than 22,000, or approximately 15 percent of primary delinquencies, as of December 31, 2009.

 

   

Radian Asset Assurance Inc. continues to serve as an important source of capital support for Radian Guaranty, the company’s mortgage insurance subsidiary, and is expected to continue to provide Radian Guaranty with cash infusions over time.

 

   

As of March 31, 2010, Radian Asset had approximately $1.0 billion in statutory surplus with an additional $1.5 billion in claims-paying resources.

 

   

In June, Radian Asset is expected to pay another ordinary dividend of approximately $70 million to Radian Guaranty.

In most cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative or other variations on these words and other similar expressions. These statements, which include, without limitation, projections regarding our future performance and financial condition are made on the basis of management’s current views and assumptions with respect to future events. Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information. These statements speak only as of the date of this news release, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements, as well as our prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the following:

 

   

changes in general financial and political conditions, such as the failure of the U.S. economy to recover from the most recent recession or the U.S. economy reentering a recessionary period following a brief period of stabilization or even growth, the lack of meaningful liquidity in the capital markets or in the credit markets, a prolonged period of high unemployment rates and limited home price appreciation or further depreciation (which has resulted in some borrowers voluntarily defaulting on their mortgages when their mortgage balances exceed the value of their homes), changes or volatility in interest rates or consumer confidence, changes in credit spreads, changes in the way investors perceive the strength of private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty providers, investor concern over the credit quality and specific risks faced by the particular businesses, municipalities or pools of assets covered by our insurance;

 

5


LOGO

 

   

catastrophic events or further economic changes in geographic regions where our mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance is more concentrated;

 

   

our ability to successfully execute upon our capital plan for our mortgage insurance business (which depends, in part, on the performance of our financial guaranty portfolio), and if necessary, to obtain additional capital to support new business writings in our mortgage insurance business and the long-term liquidity needs of our holding company;

 

   

a further decrease in the volume of home mortgage originations due to reduced liquidity in the lending market, tighter underwriting standards and the decrease in housing demand throughout the U.S.;

 

   

our ability to maintain adequate risk-to-capital ratios and surplus requirements in our mortgage insurance business in light of ongoing losses in this business and continued deterioration in our financial guaranty portfolio which, in the absence of new capital, may depend on our ability to execute strategies for which regulatory and other approvals are required and may not be obtained;

 

   

our ability to continue to effectively mitigate our mortgage insurance and financial guaranty losses;

 

   

reduced opportunities for loss mitigation in markets where housing values do not appreciate or continue to decline;

 

6


LOGO

 

   

the negative impact our increased levels of insurance rescissions and claim denials may have on our relationships with customers, including the heightened risk of potential disputes and litigation;

 

   

the concentration of our mortgage insurance business among a relatively small number of large customers;

 

   

disruption in the servicing of mortgages covered by our insurance policies;

 

   

the aging of our mortgage insurance portfolio and changes in severity or frequency of losses associated with certain of our products that are riskier than traditional mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance policies;

 

   

the performance of our insured portfolio of higher risk loans, such as Alternative-A (“Alt-A”) and subprime loans, and of adjustable rate products, such as adjustable rate mortgages and interest-only mortgages;

 

   

a decrease in persistency rates of our mortgage insurance policies;

 

   

an increase in the risk profile of our existing mortgage insurance portfolio due to mortgage refinancing in the current housing market;

 

   

further downgrades or threatened downgrades of, or other ratings actions with respect to, our credit ratings or the ratings assigned by the major rating agencies to any of our rated insurance subsidiaries at any time (in particular, the credit rating of Radian Group Inc. and the financial strength ratings assigned to Radian Guaranty Inc.);

 

   

heightened competition for our mortgage insurance business from others such as the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans’ Administration or other private mortgage insurers (in particular those that have been assigned higher ratings from the major rating agencies) or new entrants to the industry;

 

   

changes in the charters or business practices of Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Freddie Mac, the largest purchasers of mortgage loans that we insure, and our ability to remain an eligible provider to both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae;

 

7


LOGO

 

   

changes to the current system of housing finance, including the possibility of a new system in which private mortgage insurers are not required or their services are significantly limited in scope;

 

   

the application of existing federal or state consumer, lending, insurance, tax, securities and other applicable laws and regulations, or changes in these laws and regulations or the way they are interpreted; including, without limitation: (i) the outcome of existing, or the possibility of additional, lawsuits or investigations, and (ii) legislative and regulatory changes (a) affecting demand for private mortgage insurance, (b) limiting or restricting our use of (or requirements for) additional capital and the products we may offer, or (c) affecting the form in which we execute credit protection or affecting our existing financial guaranty portfolio;

 

   

the possibility that we may fail to estimate accurately the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in connection with establishing loss reserves for our mortgage insurance or financial guaranty businesses or premium deficiencies for our mortgage insurance business, or to estimate accurately the fair value amounts of derivative instruments in our mortgage insurance and financial guaranty businesses in determining gains and losses on these contracts;

 

   

the ability of our primary insurance customers in our financial guaranty reinsurance business to provide appropriate surveillance and to mitigate losses adequately with respect to our assumed insurance portfolio;

 

   

volatility in our earnings caused by changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments and our need to reevaluate the possibility of a premium deficiency in our mortgage insurance business on a quarterly basis;

 

   

changes in accounting guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and

 

   

legal and other limitations on amounts we may receive from our subsidiaries as dividends or through our tax- and expense-sharing arrangements with our subsidiaries.

For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, you should review the risks described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” under our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2) The claims paying leverage ratio is derived by dividing net debt service outstanding by total statutory claims paying resources.
(3) Included in public finance net par outstanding is $2.0 billion, $2.2 billion and $3.6 billion at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively, for legally defeased bond issues where our financial guaranty policy has not been extinguished but cash or securities have been deposited in an escrow account for the benefit of bondholders. The accounting standard for financial guarantee insurance contracts requires that these contracts continue to be accounted for as outstanding contracts despite the elimination of substantially all risk.

(1) Data is presented in the aggregate for all trusts for captives with risk in force at each period end only. Actual trust attachment points and exit points vary by individual contract. The attachment point is calculated at the contract/deal level and is based on Total Incurred Losses which are defined as claims paid ever-to-date plus loss reserves.
(2) Book year figures may include loans from additional periods pursuant to reinsurance agreement terms and conditions.
(3) Risk ceded to reinsurers based on individual contract terms.
(4) Captive Benefit is defined as ceded reserves at period end plus ever-to-date claims paid by the trust for captives with risk in force at period end only. Reinsurance benefit at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 excludes $0.4 million and $71 million of recoveries recognized from the terminations of certain captive reinsurance agreements during the first quarter of 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
