      2.    THE MERGER

            2.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, at the Effective Time, Sub will be merged with and into RDC pursuant
to the Plan and this Agreement and in accordance with applicable provisions of
the laws of the State of California and the State of Delaware as follows:

                  2.1.1 Conversion of Sub Stock. At the Effective Time, each
share of Common Stock of Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time


                                      -4-
   6
shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on
the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one (1) share of
RDC Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective
Time, and the shares of RDC Common Stock into which the shares of Sub Common
Stock are so converted shall be the only shares of RDC Stock that are issued and
outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.

                  2.1.2 Conversion of RDC Stock. At the Effective Time, each
share of RDC Common Stock, each share of RDC Series A Preferred Stock and each
share of RDC Series B Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than any RDC Dissenting Shares as provided in
Section 2.1.3 of this Agreement) will, by virtue of the Merger, and without the
need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted as
follows:

                        (a)   RDC Common Stock.  Each share of RDC Common
Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be converted into a number of shares of HNC Common Stock equal to the
Common Conversion Number, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.4 of this
Agreement regarding the elimination of fractional shares;

                        (b)   RDC Series A Preferred Stock.  Each share of
RDC Series A Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be converted into a number of shares of HNC Common
Stock equal to the Series A Conversion Number, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.1.4 of this Agreement regarding the elimination of fractional shares;
and

                        (c)   RDC Series B Preferred Stock.  Each share of
RDC Series B Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be converted into a number of shares of HNC Common
Stock equal to the Series B Conversion Number, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.1.4 of this Agreement regarding the elimination of fractional shares.

                  2.1.3 RDC Dissenting Shares. Holders of RDC Dissenting Shares
(if any) shall be entitled to their appraisal rights under Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code with respect to such RDC Dissenting Shares and such
RDC Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into shares of HNC Common Stock in
the Merger; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1.3 is intended to
remove, waive, alter or affect Sections 9.8 and 9.9 of the Plan, or any
provision of the Plan relating to RDC Dissenting Shares. Shares of RDC Stock as
to which dissenting shareholders' rights of appraisal under the California
Corporations Code have not been properly perfected shall, when such dissenting
shareholders' rights can no longer be legally exercised under the California
Corporations Code, be converted into HNC Common Stock as provided in Section 
2.1.2.

                  2.1.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of HNC Common
Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu thereof, each
holder of RDC Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a
share of HNC Common Stock under Section 2.1.2 of this Agreement, after
aggregating all shares of HNC Common Stock to be received by such holder, shall
instead receive from HNC, within twenty (20) business days after


                                      -5-
   7
the Effective Time, an amount of cash equal to the HNC Closing Average Price Per
Share (as adjusted to reflect any Capital Change (as defined below) of HNC)
multiplied by the fraction of a share of HNC Common Stock to which such holder
would otherwise be entitled to receive.

            2.2 Assumption and Conversion of RDC Options. Each RDC Option that
is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the
Merger and at the Effective Time and without the need for any further action on
the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by HNC and converted into an option
(an "HNC OPTION") to purchase that number of shares of HNC Common Stock
determined by multiplying the number of shares of RDC Common Stock subject to
such RDC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Conversion
Number, at an exercise price per share of HNC Common Stock equal to the exercise
price per share of RDC Common Stock that was in effect for such RDC Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Option Conversion Number;
provided, however, that if the foregoing calculation would result in an assumed
and converted RDC Option being converted into an HNC Option that, after
aggregating all the shares of HNC Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
such HNC Option, would be exercisable for a fraction of a share of HNC Common
Stock, then the number of shares of HNC Common Stock subject to such HNC Option
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of HNC Common Stock.
The terms, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an "incentive stock
option" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (if
applicable) or a nonqualified stock option, and all other terms and conditions
of RDC Options (including but not limited to the terms and conditions applicable
to options granted under the RDC Option Plan by virtue of the RDC Option Plan)
shall (except as otherwise provided in the terms of such RDC Options), to the
extent permitted by law and otherwise reasonably practicable, be unchanged and
continue in effect after the Merger. Continuous employment with RDC shall be
credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of the number
of shares of an HNC Common Stock subject to exercise under the HNC Option issued
upon conversion of an RDC Option.

            2.3 Adjustments for Capital Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2.1.2 or Section 2.2 of this Agreement, if at any time prior to the
Effective Time, HNC or RDC recapitalizes, either through a subdivision (or stock
split) of any of its outstanding shares into a greater number of shares, or a
combination (or reverse stock split) of any of its outstanding shares into a
lesser number of shares, or reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its
outstanding shares into the same or a different number of shares of other
classes (other than through a subdivision or combination of shares provided for
in the previous clause), or declares a dividend on its outstanding shares
payable in shares or securities convertible into shares of HNC Common Stock (a
"CAPITAL CHANGE"), then the HNC Price Per Share, the HNC Closing Average Price
Per Share, the Common Conversion Number, the Series A Conversion Number, the
Series B Conversion Number and the Option Conversion Number and the number of
shares of HNC Common Stock constituting the HNC Merger Shares will be adjusted
appropriately so as to maintain the proportionate interests of the stockholders
of RDC and the stockholders of HNC contemplated hereby (and, indirectly, the
holders of the RDC Options) so as to maintain the proportional interests of the
holders of RDC Stock and RDC Options contemplated by this Agreement.

            2.4 Escrow Agreement. HNC shall withhold eight and three-quarters
percent (8.75%) of the shares of HNC Common Stock to be issued to the RDC
Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.1.2 of this Agreement (rounded down to
the nearest whole number of shares to be issued to each RDC Stockholder) (the
"ESCROW SHARES") and will deliver certificates representing such Escrow Shares
to State Street Bank and Trust Company or a similar institution, as escrow agent
(the "ESCROW AGENT"), to be held by the Escrow Agent as security for the RDC
Stockholders' indemnification obligations under Section 11 of the Plan and
pursuant to the provisions of an escrow agreement (the "ESCROW AGREEMENT"). The
Escrow Shares will be represented by a certificate or certificates issued in the
names of the RDC Stockholders in proportion to their respective interests
therein and will be held by the Escrow Agent during that time period (the
"ESCROW PERIOD") beginning on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 7.1 of the
Plan) and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which HNC has first
received final audited financial statements together with a report thereon from
HNC's independent auditors covering the combined results of HNC and RDC or (b)
twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (as that term is defined in Section 
7.1 of the Plan).

            2.5 Effects of the Merger. At and upon the Effective Time: (a) the
separate existence of Sub will cease and Sub will be merged with and into RDC,
and RDC will be the surviving corporation of the Merger (the "SURVIVING
CORPORATION") pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (b) the Restated Articles
of Incorporation of RDC shall be amended to read as set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto and shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation; (c) each share of RDC Stock that is outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time and each RDC Option that is outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be converted into HNC Common Stock or an HNC Option,
respectively, as provided in this Section 2; (d) each share of Sub Common Stock
that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted
into one (1) share of RDC Common Stock as provided in Section 2.1.1 hereof; (e)
the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be those persons who are the
officers of RDC immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (f) the Merger
shall, from and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by
applicable law.

      3.    EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

            3.1 At or before the Effective Time, each holder of shares of RDC
Stock will surrender the certificate(s) for such shares (each an "RDC
CERTIFICATE"), duly endorsed as requested by HNC, to HNC for cancellation.
Promptly after the Effective Time and receipt of such RDC Certificates, HNC will
issue to each tendering holder of an RDC Certificate a certificate for the
number of shares of HNC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant
to Section 2.1.2 hereof (less the Escrow Shares to be placed in escrow pursuant
to Section 2.4 hereof and the Escrow Agreement) and will pay by check to each
tendering holder cash in lieu of fractional shares in the amount payable to such
holder in accordance with Section 2.1.4 hereof. At the Closing (as defined in
the Plan), HNC will deliver the certificates representing the Escrow Shares to
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

            3.2 No dividends or distributions payable to holders of record of
HNC Common Stock after the Effective Time, or cash payable in lieu of fractional
shares, will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered RDC


                                      -7-
   9
Certificate until the holder of such unsurrendered RDC Certificate surrenders
such RDC Certificate to HNC as provided above. Subject to the effect, if any, of
applicable escheat and other laws, following surrender of any RDC Certificate,
there will be delivered to the person entitled thereto, without interest, the
amount of any dividends and distributions therefor paid with respect to HNC
Common Stock so withheld as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time and
prior to such date of delivery.

            3.3 After the Effective Time, there will be no further registration
of transfers on the stock transfer books of RDC or its transfer agent of the RDC
Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after
the Effective Time, RDC Certificates are presented for any reason, they will be
canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 3.

            3.4 Until RDC Certificates representing RDC Stock outstanding prior
to the Merger are surrendered pursuant to Section 3.1 above, such RDC
Certificates will be deemed, for all purposes, to evidence ownership of the
number of shares of HNC Common Stock into which the RDC Stock will have been
converted pursuant to Section 2.1.2 of this Agreement.

      4.    TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

            4.1 Agreement Subject to Termination by Mutual Consent.
Notwithstanding the approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of Sub and
RDC, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by
the mutual written agreement of Sub and RDC.

            4.2 Agreement Subject to Termination on Termination of Plan.
Notwithstanding the approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of Sub and
RDC, this Agreement will terminate forthwith in the event that the Plan is
terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Time.

            4.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement as provided above, this Agreement will forthwith become void and there

signed on behalf of Sub and RDC.
