PHILADELPHIA, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radian Group Inc.

In return, Radian agreed to certain other conditions and covenants, including to secure the facility and reduce the commitment size from $400 million to $250 million, with further reductions to $150 million to take place if certain repayment events occur. The bank group remains unchanged with Key Bank continuing to serve as agent.
