EXHIBIT B
FAIR ISAAC SCORES
This Exhibit for Fair Isaac Scores is entered into pursuant to the terms of that certain TransUnion Master Agreement
for Consumer Reporting and Ancillary Services entered between TransUnion and Subscriber. In the event of a conflict
between this Exhibit and the Agreement, the terms of this Exhibit shall govern solely with respect to FICO Scores.
1. This Exhibit governs the use by Subscriber of credit risk scores or insurance risk scores of Fair Isaac
Corporation ("Fair Isaac") ("FICO Scores") Subscriber receives from TransUnion. From time to time, Subscriber may
request that TransUnion provide FICO Scores(other than Archive Scores, as defined below), and TransUnion agrees
to perform such processing as reasonably practicable, for each one of the following purposes requested: (a) in
connection with the review of an on-line consumer report it is obtaining from TransUnion; (b) for the review of the
portion of its own open accounts and/or closed accounts with balances owing that it designates; (c) as a potential
investor or servicer, or current insurer, in connection with a valuation of, or an assessment of the credit or prepayment
risks associated with, an existing credit obligation; (d) for use as a selection criteria to deliver a list of names to
Subscriber, or Subscriber's designated third party processor agent, for transactions not initiated by the consumer for
the extension of a firm offer of credit or insurance; or (e) [with respect to the insurance risk scores only], for use in
connection with the underwriting of insurance involving the consumer. Subscriber shall use each such FICO Score
only once and, with respect to FICO Scores other than Archive Scores, only in accordance with the permissible
purpose under the FCRA for which Subscriber obtained the FICO Scores. Subscriber may store FICO Scores solely
as required for regulatory compliance purposes and in no event shall Subscriber use such stored FICO Scores for
any purpose whatsoever; provided, however, Subscriber may use for its internal Tracking purposes stored FICO
Scores that have been provided to it for prescreening purposes under subsection (d) above. "Tracking' means the
use of FICO Scores that were generated as part of the particular prescreening program for prospects who are
provided with a firm offer of credit or insurance, solely: (y) in conjunction with processing responses from such
prospects who wish to accept the prescreen firm offer of credit or insurance; and (z)for analysis performed to measure
the results and success level of the solicitation program for which such FICO Scores were generated, including, but
not limited to the FICO Score/response/non-response relationship.
2. Subscriber may also request that TransUnion provide FICO Scores that utilize archived, depersonalized,
consumer report information ("Archive Scores") and TransUnion agrees to perform such processing as reasonably
practicable. Subscriber shall use the Archive Scores solely to determine the validity of the FICO Scores for the benefit
of Subscriber for the single project for which the Archive Scores were acquired, but for no other purpose and for no
other entity. Determining validity of the FICO Scores consists solely of: (a) internal validation on Subscriber's own
account performance data; (b) internal evaluation of the predictive strength of the FICO Scores as compared to other
scores, (c) internal evaluation of the value of the FICO Scores as an internal component of custom models; and/or
(d) establishing score cut-offs and strategies, as they relate to Subscriber's portfolios. Subscriber shall not make any
attempt to link the Archive Scores to any information which identifies the individual consumers.
3. Subscriber acknowledges that the FICO Scores are proprietary to Fair Isaac and that Fair Isaac retains all
intellectual property rights in the FICO Scores and the Model(s) (defined below) used by TransUnion to generate the
FICO Scores. Fair Isaac grants to Subscriber, effective during the term of this Exhibit, a personal, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, limited license to use, internally, the FICO Scores solely for the particular purpose set forth in
Section 1 or 2 above for which the FICO Scores were obtained, subject to the limitations set forth in this Exhibit,
including, but not limited to the single use restrictions set forth above. Subscriber's use of the FICO Scores must
comply at all times with applicable federal, state and local law and regulations, and Subscriber hereby certifies that it
will use each FICO Score (other than Archive Scores) only for a permissible purpose under the FCRA. Subscriber
shall not attempt to discover, reverse engineer, or similar or emulate the functionality of the FICO Scores, Models or
other proprietary information of Fair Isaac, or use the FICO Scores in any manner not permitted under this Exhibit,
including, without limitation, for resale to third parties, model development, model validation (except as expressly set
forth above in Paragraph 2 of this Exhibit), model benchmarking, model calibration or any other purpose that may
result in the replacement of or discontinued use of the FICO Scores. "Model" means Fair Isaac's proprietary scoring
algorithm(s) embodied in its proprietary scoring software delivered to and operated by TransUnion.

4. Subscriber shall not disclose the FICO Scores nor the results of any validations or other reports derived from
the FICO Scores to any third party (other than a consumer as expressly provided for below in this Section 4) unless:
(a) such disclosure is clearly required by law; (b) Fair Isaac provides written consent in advance of such disclosure;
and/or (c) but only to the extent, such third party is Subscriber's designated third party agent (so long as such third
party agent is not TransUnion, Experian, Equifax or VantageScore) only for the uses of FICO Scores as expressly
permitted above in Section 1 or 2 for which the FICO Scores were obtained by Subscriber; provided however that in
either event (i.e., (b) or(c) above), Subscriber may make such disclosure or in the event of(c), direct TransUnion to
deliver FICO Scores to such third party agent, only after Subscriber has entered into an agreement with the third
party agent that (i) limits use of the FICO Scores to only the use permitted to Subscriber hereunder; (ii) obligates the
third party agent to otherwise comply with the terms of this Exhibit; and (iii) names Fair Isaac as an intended third
party beneficiary of such agreement. Subscriber shall not disclose a FICO Score to the consumer to which it pertains
unless such disclosure is required by law or is in connection with an adverse action (as defined by the FCRA) and
then only when accompanied by the corresponding reason codes. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber's
participation in any FICO "open access program"or any"scores on statements"type program requires the execution
of the TransUnion Open Access amendment to this Exhibit.
5. Subject to conditions which follow, Fair Isaac warrants that, as delivered to TransUnion, the Models used to
produce the FICO Scores delivered hereunder are empirically derived and demonstrably and statistically sound.
These warranties are conditioned on: (a) Subscriber's use of each FICO Score for the purposes for which the
respective Model was designed, as applied to the United States population used to develop the scoring algorithm,
(b) Subscriber's compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws pertaining to use of the FICO Scores,
including Subscriber's duty (if any) to validate or revalidate the use of credit scoring systems under the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act and its implementing Regulation B ("Reg. B") and (c) Subscriber's use of the FICO Scores otherwise
remaining in compliance with the terms of this Exhibit. Fair Isaac also warrants that the credit scoring algorithm does
not consider any "prohibited basis" as defined or restricted by Reg. B. FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY,
SUBSCRIBER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY,AND FAIR ISAAC'S AND TRANSUNION'S ENTIRE LIABILITY,
SHALL BE RECALCULATION OF THE FICO SCORES THAT FORMED THE BASIS OF SUCH BREACH. FAIR
ISAAC AND TRANSUNION HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MIGHT BE IMPLIED FROM A
COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
6. IN NO EVENT SHALL SUBSCRIBER, TRANSUNION OR FAIR ISAAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES INCURRED BY ANY PARTY
AND ARISING OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS EXHIBIT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
GOOD WILL AND LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE IS BASED IN
CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE
REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO
FAIR ISAAC'S OR TRANSUNION'S VIOLATION OF SUBSCRIBER'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS NOR
SUBSCRIBER'S VIOLATION OF TRANSUNION'S OR FAIR ISAAC'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
(INCLUDING THE USE OR DISCLOSURE OF FICO SCORES IN VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS EXHIBIT).
ADDITIONALLY, NEITHER TRANSUNION NOR FAIR ISAAC SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT
OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EXHIBIT BROUGHT MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF
ACTION HAS ACCRUED. IN NO EVENT SHALL TRANSUNION'S AND FAIR ISAAC'S COMBINED AGGREGATE
TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS EXHIBIT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID UNDER THIS EXHIBIT DURING THE
PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTHS FOR THE FICO SCORES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM(S) OR
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00), WHICHEVER AMOUNT IS LESS.
7. Upon prior written notice, Fair Isaac shall have the right to audit Subscriber to verify Subscriber's compliance
with this Exhibit. Subscriber shall accommodate Fair Isaac in connection with such audit. Such accommodation shall
include, but not be limited to on-site inspect of Subscriber's records, systems and such documentation as deemed
reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Exhibit. TransUnion and Subscriber acknowledge and
agree that Fair Isaac is a third party beneficiary hereunder with respect to the Models, FICO Scores, and other Fair
Isaac intellectual property and with fully enforceable rights. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that Fair
Isaac's rights with respect to the Models, FICO Scores, other Fair Isaac intellectual property, and all works derived
therefrom are unconditional rights that shall survive the termination for any reason.
8. This Exhibit constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements,
whether oral or written, express or implied, with respect to the FICO Scores. This Exhibit may not be amended except
by written instrument signed by the duly authorized representatives of all parties.
