SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of October 31, 2002 (the "Second
Supplemental Indenture"), between Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and State Street Bank and Trust Company of
California, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of August 24, 2001 (as
amended and supplemented, the "Indenture"), between HNC Software Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and the Trustee, the Company issued
$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes
due September 1, 2008 (the "Securities");
WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and the Trustee have entered into a First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 5, 2002 (the "First Supplemental
Indenture"), which provides (i) that the Securities shall be convertible into
shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided
for in Article 4 of the Indenture, and (iii) for a full and unconditional
subordinated guarantee of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and
the Securities by Parent on the terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent has determined to merge the
Company, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, with and into Parent (the
"Upstream Merger"), with Parent being the surviving corporation in the Upstream
Merger;
WHEREAS, Section 7.1 of the Indenture requires that, in connection with
the Upstream Merger, Parent execute and deliver a supplemental indenture
pursuant to which Parent shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of
the principal of and any premium and interest on all the Securities and the
performance or observance of every covenant of the Indenture on the part of the
Company to be performed or observed and the conversion rights shall be provided
for in accordance with Article 4 of the Indenture;
WHEREAS, the Upstream Merger and Parent's assumption of the Company's
obligations under the Indenture pursuant to this Second Supplemental Indenture
makes certain provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture unnecessary and/or
undesirable, including Parent's guarantee contained therein;
WHEREAS, all conditions and requirements necessary to make this Second
Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture have been performed and fulfilled and the execution
and delivery hereof have been in all respects duly authorized; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, Parent has
requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this Second Supplemental
Indenture;
