Confidential. 3 Understanding FICO ® Score Dynamics »FICO ® scores are aligned to a “moving” odds-to-score relationship on a national level »FICO ® score distributions are not static, rather they are fluid and it is expected that they will change over time »Changes in data reported, consumer credit behavior, lender practices, changing economic conditions, score updates, etc. »Odds-to-score changes as consumer behavior changes For these reasons, it is important that each lender monitor and track their portfolio by FICO® score on a frequent basis and make adjustments to strategies as needed.

Confidential. 12 Summary Observations »The FICO ® score continues to rank-order risk effectively »Continued tightening in the lending market »Changes in default rates were less, at least partially due to increased lender controls and tightened lending policies »A score of 740 in 2010, represents the same level of risk as a score 700 in 2005 »The delinquency rates as of April 2010 held constant, and we expect a similar trend of stability or potentially a decline in the delinquency rates in the upcoming period This data is available in more detail via FICO ® Score Trends Service, which provides lenders and regulatory agencies with detailed information on the relationship between consumer credit behavior and the FICO ® Score.
