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. -6- 8 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.

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.
