Agreement with Equifax
Agreement with Equifax

The Company has an agreement (the Operating Agreement) with Equifax Inc. and its subsidiary, Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc. (ECIS), pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company is an affiliated credit bureau (a “Bureau”) of ECIS and utilizes ECIS' credit database to provide credit reporting services from the ECIS system for resale to customers. The Bureau retains ownership of its credit files stored in the ECIS system and receives revenues generated from the sale of the credit information they contain. The Bureau pays ECIS a fee for the services it provides to the Bureau based on each report supplied by the ECIS system.

Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company has an option to require ECIS to purchase CSC's credit reporting business (the “Put Option”). The Put Option requires six months' advance notice and expires on August 1, 2013. The exercise price of the Put Option is an amount to be agreed to by the parties at the time of exercise, but if the parties are not able to reach an agreement, the exercise price would be equal to the appraised value of the credit reporting business.
