PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy  Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation by
and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated
(the  "Company") of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of  Stockholders of
the Company (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Tuesday,  February 6, 1996, and
any postponement or adjournment  thereof.  A copy of the Company's Annual Report
to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, which includes the
Company's financial statements as of September 30, 1995,  accompanies this Proxy
Statement. Stockholders may obtain a copy of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K and a list of the exhibits  thereto  without  charge by written  request to
Peter L. McCorkell, Corporate Secretary, 120 North Redwood Drive, San Rafael, CA
94903.  This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are being mailed
to stockholders on or about January 2, 1996.

PROXY SOLICITATION

     The  shares   represented  by  the  proxies   received   pursuant  to  this
solicitation and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting.  A stockholder
who has given a proxy may revoke it by giving  written  notice of  revocation to
the Secretary of the Company or by giving a duly executed  proxy bearing a later
date.  Attendance  in person at the Annual  Meeting does not of itself  revoke a
proxy;  however, any stockholder who does attend the Annual Meeting may revoke a
proxy previously submitted by voting in person.  Subject to any such revocation,
all shares  represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance
with  specifications on the enclosed proxy. If no such  specifications are made,
proxies will be voted FOR the election of the nine nominees for director  listed
in this Proxy  Statement,  FOR the  approval of the  proposal  to  increase  the
authorized  number of shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock,  FOR the proposed
amendments  to  the  Company's  1992  Long-term  Incentive  Plan,  and  FOR  the
ratification  of the  appointment  of KPMG  Peat  Marwick  LLP as the  Company's
auditors for the current fiscal year.

     The Company will bear the expense of  preparing,  printing and mailing this
Proxy Statement and proxies solicited hereby and will reimburse banks, brokerage
firms and  nominees for their  reasonable  expenses in  forwarding  solicitation
materials to beneficial owners of shares held of record by such banks, brokerage
firms and nominees. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, officers
and regular employees of the Company may communicate with stockholders either in
person or by telephone for the purpose of soliciting such proxies; no additional
compensation  will be paid for  such  solicitation.  The  Company  has  retained
Skinner & Co. to assist in the  solicitation of proxies at a cost of $3,500 plus
normal out-of-pocket expenses.

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

     Only  stockholders  of record at the close of  business on December 8, 1995
(the "record date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.
At the close of business on the record date, there were 12,311,406 shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock,  $0.01 par value  (the  "Common  Stock"),  issued  and
outstanding,  excluding  52,765 shares of Common Stock held as treasury stock by
the  Company. 

                                       1

The shares held as treasury  stock are not  entitled to be voted.  Each share of
Common  Stock is entitled to one vote with respect to each matter to be voted on
at the meeting  subject to the  provisions  regarding  cumulative  voting in the
election of  directors  as  described  below.  A plurality  of the votes cast is
required for the election of the nine nominees for director listed in this Proxy
Statement,  and a majority of the votes cast is required to approve the proposed
increase in the authorized  number of shares of the Company's  Common Stock, the
proposed amendments to the Company's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan and to ratify
the  appointment  of KPMG Peat  Marwick LLP as the  company's  auditors  for the
current  fiscal  year.  Abstentions  with  respect to any matter are  treated as
shares  present or  represented by proxy and entitled to vote on that matter and
thus  have the same  effect  as  negative  votes.  Broker  non-votes  and  other
circumstances  in which proxy  authority  has been  withheld  do not  constitute
abstentions.

     In the election of the directors,  each stockholder is entitled to one vote
per  share  multiplied  by the  number  of  directors  to be  elected,  and  the
stockholder may cast all of such votes for a single  candidate or may distribute
them among the number of  directors  to be voted for,  or for any two or more of
them as the  stockholder  may see fit;  provided,  however,  that no stockholder
shall be entitled so to cumulate  votes unless such  candidate's  or candidates'
names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the stockholder has
given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the  stockholder's  intention
to  cumulate  votes.  If  any  one  stockholder  has  given  such  notice,   all
stockholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination.  The persons
authorized to vote shares  represented by executed  proxies in the enclosed form
(if authority to vote for the election of directors is not  withheld)  will have
full discretion and authority to vote  cumulatively  and to allocate votes among
any or all of the Board of  Directors'  nominees  as they may  determine  or, if
authority to vote for a specified  candidate or  candidates  has been  withheld,
among those candidates for whom authority to vote has not been withheld.

Rapp 0 N/A 1 Units accrued for fiscal 1995 pursuant to the Company's Officers' Incentive Plan. The number of units is equal to half of the officer's total incentive award for fiscal 1995. See the description under "Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation; Incentive Compensation Plans" below. Units are converted into cash at the payout dates by multiplying the number of units to be paid out by the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for the Company's Common Stock on the payout date, divided by the mean of the closing bid and ask prices of the stock on the award date ($28.25 at September 30, 1995). 2 The units will be paid out in 25 percent increments as of September 30 in each of the four years following the fiscal year for which they were accrued provided the recipient is still employed by the Company.
PENSION PLAN Employees of the Company (not including those of its subsidiary, DynaMark, Inc.), including officers and directors who are employees, participate in the Fair Isaac Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") after completing one year of service. Subject to certain age and service requirements, participants in the Pension Plan accrue a right to a retirement income payable monthly for life. The annual benefit is equal to 0.60% of "Final Average Compensation" up to $15,000 plus 1.20% of Final Average Compensation in excess of $15,000, multiplied by years of service up to a maximum of 35 years. "Final Average Compensation" means the highest average compensation for five consecutive years during the last ten years of employment. Compensation includes all amounts paid for services. If benefit payments commence between age 55 (the earliest permissible age) and age 65, the amount is actuarially discounted; if benefits commence after age 65, the amount is actuarially increased. The Pension Plan also provides various forms of survivor benefits for a participant's beneficiary and for optional forms of payment with equal actuarial value, including a lump sum. 10 The following table illustrates the estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement to an employee in the specified compensation and years of credited service classifications shown, assuming that the benefits commence at age 65 and are payable in the normal form. These calculations are straight-life annuity amounts based on current plan formulae and are not reduced by any Social Security offsets.

"Grandfather" provisions related to the prior formula may result in larger benefits attributable to service credited prior to 1995. The Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of compensation which may be taken into account for purposes of determining benefits from a tax-qualified plan (such as the Fair Isaac Pension Plan). The current limit is $150,000. Current law provides that this limit will increase with increases in the Consumer Price Index.
DIRECTOR CONSULTING ARRANGEMENTS Since April 10, 1991, the Company has had an agreement with William R. Fair, its retired President and Chief Executive Officer, under which Mr. Fair has agreed to perform approximately 1,000 hours of consulting services for the Company each year between April 1 and March 31 and for which the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Fair $75,000. The current contract with Mr. Fair expires March 31, 1996. Effective August 1, 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with Dr. Robert M. Oliver, a Director of the Company, under which Dr. Oliver may perform consulting services on technical matters at the request of the Company's president. Dr. Oliver is compensated at the rate of $100 per hour for such services. He was paid $101,600 for services rendered pursuant to this agreement in fiscal 1995. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Bryant J. Brooks, Guy R. Henshaw and H. Robert Heller served as the members of the Company's Compensation Committee for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. Messrs. Brooks, Henshaw and Heller are non-employee Directors of the Company and had no other relationship with the Company. None of the Executive Officers of the Company had any "interlock" relationships to report during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. 11 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is composed entirely of directors who are not employees of the Company. The Committee determines all aspects of the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice Presidents and heads of the Company's strategic business units, and also administers the Company's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan under which grants of stock options or restricted stock may be awarded to any employee. Through December 31, 1995, the compensation of Kenneth Rapp, a Senior Vice President of the Company and the President of the Company's DynaMark subsidiary, was determined in accordance with the terms of an employment agreement entered into with Mr. Rapp in connection with the Company's acquisition of DynaMark in December 1992 and thus has not been reviewed by the Compensation Committee. For purposes of the following discussion, Mr. Rapp is not included in the group referred to as "executive officers." The primary objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to provide a level of compensation that will attract and retain well qualified executives, to structure their compensation packages so that a significant portion is tied to achieving targets for revenue growth and operating margin, and to align their interests with those of the Company's stockholders through the use of stock-based compensation. The Company's executive compensation program consists of three main components: annual base salary, participation in the Company's Officers' Incentive Plan, and the opportunity to receive awards of stock options or restricted stock. The executive officers are eligible for the same benefits available generally to the Company's employees, including group health and life insurance and participation in the Company's pension, employee stock ownership and 401(k) plans. The Company also maintains a Supplemental Retirement and Savings Plan for the benefit of certain highly compensated employees, including most executive officers. ANNUAL BASE SALARY The Compensation Committee determines the annual base salary of each of the Company's executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. The same principles are applied in setting the salaries of all officers to ensure that salaries are equitably established. Salaries are determined annually by considering the officer's duties and responsibilities within the Company and business unit, the officer's ability to impact the operations and profitability of the Company, and the officer's experience and past performance. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN Substantially all of the Company's employees participate in incentive plans based on the Company's performance with respect to goals for revenue growth and operating margin set by the Board of Directors for each fiscal year. An incentive 12 compensation target amount is determined for each participant at the beginning of the fiscal year. The ratio of incentive plan target to base salary increases with the level of the employee's responsibilities and ranges from one percent for non-exempt employees to more than 50 percent for the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee sets the incentive compensation targets for each of the executive officers. Compensation increases for executive officers in recent years have primarily resulted from increases in incentive plan targets, reflecting the Committee's emphasis on performance-based pay. After the conclusion of the fiscal year, the target amount for each participant is multiplied by a factor based on the Company's actual performance with respect to the revenue growth and operating margin goals (equally weighted) previously established by the Board to establish his or her incentive award for the year. Awards can range from zero to three times the target amount. All officers receive 50 percent of their incentive awards in cash shortly after the end of the fiscal year. The remaining 50 percent is paid in the form of "participating units" whose value is based on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. Those units are converted to cash payments, in 25 percent increments, at the end of each of the succeeding four fiscal years (assuming the officer remains employed by the Company), based on the market price of the Company's stock at the end of each of those years. OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK The Committee may award options to purchase the Company's Common Stock or shares of restricted stock to any employee, including the executive officers, under the Company's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan. The exercise price for all options granted under this Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. In addition to the level of responsibility and performance of the recipient, the Committee takes previous grants of options and restricted stock into consideration in making such awards. Awards of options were made to Mr. Culhane and Mr. Rapp in fiscal 1995 and are reflected in the tables on pages 7 and 8. The Committee did not make any awards of options or restricted stock to other named executive officers during the year primarily because of awards to such officers in prior years. LIMITS ON TAX-DEDUCTIBLE COMPENSATION The Committee believes that it is highly unlikely that the combination of base salary, officer incentive plan cash awards, and payments for participating units for any executive officer would exceed $1 million in any year and currently has no plans to amend the officers' incentive plan to ensure deductibility for federal tax purposes of any "excess" amounts. The Committee believes that the 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan meets the transition rules available through the earlier of end of 1996 or the adoption of any material amendments, including an increase in the number of shares reserved, so that any compensation arising out of the exercise of options previously granted under that plan will be deductible. The Committee further believes that, if proposed amendments to the Plan (which include limiting the number of options that can be awarded under the Plan) are adopted, the Plan will meet the rules currently in 13 effect so that compensation arising from the exercise of options granted under that plan in the future will also be deductible by the Company. The Committee believes it is highly unlikely that any combination of grants of restricted stock that will be awarded under that plan and other compensation will exceed $1 million for a single individual in any given year. CEO COMPENSATION The amounts of Mr. Rosenberger's base salary and incentive plan target are established by the Compensation Committee using the criteria discussed above. Mr. Rosenberger's base salary for fiscal 1995 was $193,750, compared with a base of $190,000 for fiscal 1994. His incentive plan target for fiscal 1995 was $106,250 which represented an increase of $11,250 over 1994. Because the Company's revenue growth of 26 percent and operating margin of 17.4 percent substantially exceeded the goals set by the Board for 1995, Mr. Rosenberger's total incentive award for the year was $267,520. Of that amount, 50 percent was paid in cash shortly after the end of the year and is shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 7 under the caption "Annual Compensation; Bonus." The remainder was converted to the form of participating units as explained above which will become payable in 25 percent increments after each of the four years ending September 30, 1996 through 1999, based on the stock price on those dates. Amounts shown under the caption "Long-term Incentive Plan Payouts" reflect participating units earned in prior years. Bryant J. Brooks Guy R. Henshaw H. Robert Heller PERFORMANCE GRAPH In accordance with SEC rules, the following table shows a line-graph presentation comparing cumulative five-year stockholder returns on an indexed basis with a broad equity market index and either a nationally recognized industry standard or an index of peer companies selected by the Company. The Company has selected the CRSP Index of the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. Companies) for the broad equity index, and a self-determined group of peer companies. The peer group consists of Acxiom Corporation; American Management Systems, Inc.; Barra, Inc.; Broderbund Software, Inc.; and Hogan Systems, Inc. The Company does not believe there are any publicly traded companies which compete with the Company across the full spectrum of its product and service offerings. The companies in the peer group represent a variety of information and decision service providers and software developers traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market and which are in the same order of magnitude as the Company in revenue and market capitalization. In addition, Barra and Broderbund are headquartered near the Company's headquarters and compete with the Company for available technical staff. 14 COMPARISON OF FIVE YEAR CUMULATIVE RETURN [Graph] Among Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, the CRSP index for NASDAQ stock market (US Companies) and the self-determined peer group index:

The reported dates are the last trading dates of the Company's fiscal year which ends on September 30. PROPOSAL TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK The Board of Directors has approved the amendment of Section (a) of Article 4 of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 to 35,000,000. The Board of Directors recommends that the Company's stockholders approve this amendment. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company's best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to have additional authorized but unissued shares available for issuance to meet business needs as they arise. The Board of Directors believes that the availability of such additional shares will help the Company attract and retain talented employees through the grant of stock options and other stock-based incentives. The Board of Directors also believes that the availability of such shares will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Common Stock for other proper corporate purposes which may be identified by the Board of Directors in the future, such as stock dividends, financing or acquisitions. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and, for a person who does not purchase additional shares to maintain his or her pro rata interest, on a stockholder's percentage voting power. The Board of Directors does not recommend this proposed amendment with the intent to use the ability to issue additional Common Stock to discourage tender offers or takeover attempts. However, the availability of authorized Common Stock for issuance could render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other attempt to obtain control of the Company. Neither the management of the Company nor the Board of Directors is aware of any existing or planned effort on the part of any party to accumulate material amounts of Common Stock or to acquire control of the Company by means of merger, tender offer, proxy contest or 15 otherwise, or to change the Company's management, nor is the Company aware of any offer by any person to acquire any material amount of Common Stock or assets of the Company. Of the 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently authorized for issuance, 1,750,748 shares are unissued and unreserved for issuance. The authorized shares of Common Stock in excess of those issued will be available for issuance at such times and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable without further action by the Company's stockholders, except as may be required by applicable laws or the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which the securities may be listed or traded. Except for awards under the Company's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan described below, the Company's management has no arrangements, agreements, understandings or plans at the present time for the issuance or use of the additional shares of Common Stock proposed to be authorized. Upon issuance, such shares will have the same rights as the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive rights. The Board of Directors does not intend to issue any Common Stock except on terms which the Board deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its then-existing stockholders. The full text of Section (a) of Article 4, as such Section is proposed to be amended pursuant to this proposal, is as follows: 4. (a) The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is thirty-six million (36,000,000), of which one million (1,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $.01 per share, and thirty-five million (35,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $.01 per share. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) if the increase or decrease is approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock, without the vote of the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, unless any such Preferred Stock holders are entitled to vote thereon pursuant to the provisions established by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such Preferred Stock, and if such holders of such Preferred Stock are so entitled to vote thereon, then, except as may otherwise be set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, the only stockholder approval required shall be that of a majority of the combined voting power of the Common and Preferred Stock so entitled to vote. VOTE REQUIRED AND EFFECTIVE DATE The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock is required to approve this proposal. If approved by the stockholders, the proposed amendment to Section (a) of Article 4 will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware amending the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which will occur as soon as reasonably practicable. 16 The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to amend Section (a) of Article 4 of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation as set forth above. PROPOSALS TO AMEND THE FAIR, ISAAC AND COMPANY, INCORPORATED 1992 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN The 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan ("Plan") was unanimously adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on November 23, 1992 and approved by the Company's stockholders at the annual meeting held on February 2, 1993. On November 21, 1995, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted four amendments to the Plan: (a) to increase the number of restricted shares, stock units and options available for grant under the plan by 1,000,000 shares; (b) to limit the number of options which may be awarded under the plan to any individual to 50,000 shares in any fiscal year; (c) to provide for a grant of options for 10,000 shares to each new non-employee director, and for grants of 1,000 shares to each non-employee director in each year after such director's first year of service; and (d) to extend the date until which Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan to November 20, 2005. The Board of Directors recommends approval of these amendments to the Plan. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote is required for approval. These amendments will be effective upon approval by the stockholders. The following description of the Plan is a summary only. Any stockholder who wishes to review the text of the Plan can obtain a copy by writing to the Company, Attention: Investor Relations. OVERVIEW OF THE 1992 INCENTIVE PLAN The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by attracting and retaining eligible individuals with exceptional qualifications, by encouraging such individuals to focus on long-range objectives, and by linking participants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. While all awards since February 2, 1993 have been made under the Plan, awards made under prior plans will continue to be administered in accordance with those plans. The Plan provides for awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units or options (which may be granted in tandem with stock appreciation rights ("SARs")), or any combination thereof. No payment is required upon receipt of an award, except that a recipient of newly issued restricted shares must pay at least the par value of such restricted shares to the Company. The Plan requires that the exercise price of any option granted under the Plan be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. As of December 15, 1995, the fair market value of the Company's stock (defined by the Plan as the mean of the 17 closing bid and ask prices of the Company's Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market) was $27.625 per share. ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee selects the individuals who will receive awards, determines the size of any award and establishes any vesting or other conditions. Employees and non-employee directors of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) are eligible to participate in the Plan, although incentive stock options ("ISOs") may be granted only to employees. The participation of non-employee Directors of the Company is limited to grants of non-qualified stock options, as described below. There are currently six non-employee directors and approximately 850 employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE INCENTIVE PLAN The total number of restricted shares, stock units and options (which may be granted in combination with SARs) currently available for grant under the Plan is only 146,971 shares. There are options for a total of 738,110 shares outstanding, of which 376,260 are currently exercisable and 361,850 are not yet exercisable. Of those currently exercisable, options for 323,260 shares were granted under prior plans. However, those options, as well as those granted under the Plan, would become available for new awards under the Plan if they are forfeited or otherwise terminate prior to exercise. In addition, 63,391 shares of restricted stock, issued under the Plan, have not yet vested. If such shares are forfeited prior to vesting, these shares would also become again available for grant under the Plan. If all options currently outstanding are forfeited or otherwise terminate prior to exercise, and all shares of outstanding restricted stock are forfeited prior to vesting, 801,501 shares would be available for grant under the Plan. The proposed amendments would increase the number of shares available for grant by 1,000,000 shares. The Board believes that stock-based compensation--particularly stock options--is a valuable component of the compensation for executives and outside directors in that it serves to align the interests of directors and management with those of the stockholders. Several members of senior management currently hold no options, restricted shares or stock units, and the number of shares now available for grant is relatively small. 18 TERMS OF AWARDS Restricted shares are shares of Common Stock that are subject to forfeiture in the event that the applicable vesting conditions are not satisfied. Restricted shares are nontransferable prior to vesting (except for certain transfers to a trustee). Restricted shares have the same voting and dividend rights as other shares of Common Stock. A stock unit represents the equivalent of one share of Common Stock and is nontransferable prior to the holder's death (except for certain transfers to a trustee). Vested stock units will be settled at the time determined by the Committee in the form of cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof. A holder of stock units has no voting rights or other privileges as a stockholder but is entitled to receive dividend equivalents on his or her units equal to the amount of dividends paid on the same number of shares of Common Stock. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional stock units or settled in the form of cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof. If the time of settlement is deferred, interest or additional dividend equivalents may be credited on the deferred payment. Options may include non-qualified stock options ("NSOs") as well as incentive stock options ("ISOs") intended to qualify for special tax treatment. The exercise price of any option under the 1992 Incentive Plan must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Both NSOs and ISOs may be granted in combination with SARs, or SARs may be added to outstanding NSOs at any time after the grant. A SAR permits the participant to elect to receive any appreciation in the value of the optioned stock directly from the Company, in shares of Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof, in lieu of exercising the option. The Committee has the discretion to determine the form in which such payment will be made. The amount payable upon exercise of a SAR is measured by the difference between the market value of the optioned stock at exercise and the option exercise price. Generally, SARs may be exercised at any time after the underlying NSO or ISO vests. Upon exercise of a SAR, the corresponding portion of the related option must be surrendered and cannot thereafter be exercised. Conversely, upon exercise of an option to which a SAR is attached, the SAR may no longer be exercised to the extent that the corresponding option has been exercised. The term of an ISO cannot exceed ten years, and all options and SARs are nontransferable prior to the optionee's death. The exercise price of an option may be paid in any lawful form permitted by the Committee, including (without limitation) the surrender of shares of Common Stock or restricted shares already owned by the optionee. The 1992 Incentive Plan also allows the optionee to pay the exercise price of an option by giving "exercise/sale" or "exercise/pledge" directions. If exercise/sale directions are given, a number of option shares sufficient to pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes is issued directly to a securities broker approved by the Company who, in turn, sells these shares in the open market. The broker remits to the Company the proceeds from the sale of these shares, and the optionee receives the remaining option shares. If exercise/pledge directions are given, the option shares are issued directly to a securities broker or other lender approved by the Company. The broker or other lender will hold the shares as security and will extend credit for up to 50% of their market value. The loan proceeds will be paid to the Company to the extent 19 necessary to pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes. Any excess loan proceeds may be paid to the optionee. If the loan proceeds are insufficient to cover the exercise price and withholding taxes, the optionee will be required to pay the deficiency to the Company at the time of exercise. The Committee may also permit optionees to satisfy their withholding tax obligation upon exercise of a NSO by surrendering a portion of their option shares to the Company. The recipient of restricted shares or stock units may pay all projected withholding taxes relating to the award with Common Stock rather than cash. As noted above, the Committee determines the number of restricted shares, stock units or options to be included in the award as well as the vesting and other conditions. The vesting conditions may be based on the recipient's service, his or her individual performance, the Company's performance or other appropriate criteria. In general, the vesting conditions will be based on the recipient's service. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of the recipient's death, disability or retirement or in the event of a change in control of the Company. Moreover, the Committee may determine that outstanding options and any related SARs will become fully vested if it has concluded that there is a reasonable possibility of a change in control within six months thereafter. For purposes of the 1992 Incentive Plan, the term "change in control" means (1) that any person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities, except by reason of a repurchase by the Company of its own securities, or (2) that a change in the composition of the Board of Directors occurs as a result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are directors who either had been directors of the Company 24 months prior to such change or were elected or nominated for election to the Board of Directors with the approval of at least a majority of the directors who have been directors of the Company 24 months prior to such change and who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination. LIMIT ON INDIVIDUAL AWARDS The Plan currently contains no limit on the number of restricted shares, stock units or options that may be granted to any particular individual. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company may not claim a deduction for tax purposes for compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers in excess of $1 million per person per fiscal year. However, compensation arising out of the exercise of NSOs is deductible by the Company without limit if certain conditions are met including approval by stockholders of the material provisions of the plan (including the number of shares available for grant), administration by a committee composed entirely of outside directors, and a limit on the size of grants to any individual. The Board believes that options granted under the Company's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan meet all of these conditions except that there has been no absolute limit on the size of grants to any individual. Accordingly, the Board recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the Plan which include a limit on the number of options granted to any individual in any fiscal year to 50,000 shares. 20 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS Members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company are not currently eligible for any awards under the 1992 Incentive Plan other than a one-time grant of 16,000 NSOs upon completion of the first six months' service as an outside Director. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant. The NSOs become exercisable six months after the date of grant or, if earlier, in the event of a change in control of the Company or the termination of the director's service because of death, disability or retirement after age 65. The NSOs expire ten years after the date of grant, 12 months after the termination of the director's service because of death or disability or three months after the termination of the director's service for any other reason. The proposed amendments include an amendment to the provisions of the Plan governing grants of options to non-employee directors. The Board believes the current practice of a single large grant with a relatively short vesting period, with no subsequent grants regardless of length of service, not only could provide a windfall to a director whose service is relatively brief, but also fails to reward directors for longer service and fails to provide an ongoing incentive tending to align the interests of the directors with those of the stockholders. In addition, the shortcomings of the existing practice may hamper future efforts to recruit highly qualified outside directors. The proposed amendments seek to correct these shortcomings by providing for (a) a grant of options for 10,000 shares to each person who becomes an "Outside Director" on or after February 6, 1996 (the "Initial Grant") and (b) a grant of options for 1,000 shares to each "Outside Director" on the date of the annual meeting provided such person has been an "Outside Director" since the prior annual meeting (the "Annual Grants"). An Initial Grant would vest in 20% increments on each of the first through fifth anniversary dates of such person becoming an Outside Director and would expire ten years after grant. Annual Grants would vest one year after grant and expire five years after grant. An "Outside Director" is defined by the Plan as "a member of the Board who is not a common-law employee of the Company or of a Subsidiary [of the Company]." The Plan further provides that the exercise price of all options so granted to Outside Directors shall be equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. If the proposed amendments to the Plan are not approved, the existing provisions of the Plan regarding grants of options to non-employee directors will remain in effect. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OPTIONS Neither the optionee nor the Company will incur any federal tax consequences as a result of the grant of an option. The optionee will have no taxable income upon exercising an ISO (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and the Company will receive no deduction when an ISO is exercised. Upon exercising a NSO, the optionee generally must recognize ordinary income equal to the "spread" between the exercise price and the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of exercise; the Company will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount. In the case of an employee, the option spread at the time a NSO is exercised is subject to income tax withholding, but the optionee generally may elect to satisfy the 21 withholding tax obligation by having shares of Common Stock withheld from those purchased under the NSO. The tax treatment of a disposition of option shares depends on how long the shares have been held and on whether such shares were acquired by exercising an ISO or by exercising a NSO. The Company will not be entitled to a deduction in connection with a disposition of option shares, except in the case of a disposition of shares acquired under an ISO before the applicable ISO holding period has been satisfied. Awards under the 1992 Incentive Plan may provide that if any payment (or transfer) by the Company to a recipient would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, then the aggregate present value of all such payments (or transfers) will be reduced to an amount which maximizes such value without causing any such payment (or transfer) to be nondeductible. AMENDMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF GRANTS The Committee is authorized, within the provisions of the 1992 Incentive Plan, to amend the terms of outstanding restricted shares or stock units, to modify or extend outstanding options or to exchange new options for outstanding options, including outstanding options with a higher exercise price than the new options. The 1992 Incentive Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the number of shares available for future awards as well as the exercise price of and the number of shares covered by outstanding options in the event of a reclassification, stock split, combination of shares, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or other recapitalization of the Company. In the event of a merger, awards will be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN The Board of Directors may amend the 1992 Incentive Plan at any time and in any respect, subject to stockholder approval if required by law. The 1992 Incentive Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors, except that under the Plan as originally adopted, no ISO may be granted after November 22, 2002. Under applicable federal regulations, ISOs may not be granted more than ten years after the adoption of a plan which is subsequently approved by the stockholders. The latest date for the grant of ISOs may be changed by subsequent Board and stockholder action to a date not more than ten years after such action. The amendments proposed by the Board of Directors would extend the date for grants of ISOs under the Plan to November 20, 2005. 22 VOTE REQUIRED AND EFFECTIVE DATE The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the amendments to the Company's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan to: (a) to increase the number of restricted shares, stock units and options available for grant under the Plan by 1,000,000 shares; (b) to limit the number of options which may be awarded under the Plan to any individual to 50,000 shares in any fiscal year; (c) to provide for a grant of options for 10,000 shares to each new non-employee director, and for grants of 1,000 shares to each non-employee director in each year after such director's first year of service; and (d) to extend the date until which Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan to November 21, 2005. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote is required for approval. The amendments to the Plan will become effective upon approval by the stockholders. RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has appointed the firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the Company's current fiscal year ending September 30, 1996. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has served as the Company's independent auditors since May 1991. Representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP are expected to be present at the Company's Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make statements and/or respond to appropriate questions from stockholders present at the meeting. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the Company's independent auditors. A majority vote is required for ratification. OTHER BUSINESS The Board of Directors does not know of any business to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the matters set forth above, but if other matters properly come before the meeting it is the intention of the persons named in the proxies to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. SECTION 16(A) REPORTING Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder require the Company's directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock to file reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of Common Stock with the Commission. Personnel of the Company generally prepare these reports on the basis of information obtained from each director, officer and greater than ten percent owner. Based on such 23 information, the Company believes that all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be filed by its directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent owners during the last fiscal year were filed on time except that two reports, one covering a gift of 2,000 shares and the other covering two sale transactions totaling 4,000 shares, were filed late by Mrs. Judith W. Isaac. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the Company's 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received at the Corporate Secretary's Office, 120 North Redwood Drive, San Rafael, California 94903, no later than September 3, 1996, to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting.

-4- FAIR, ISAAC AND COMPANY, INCORPORATED 1992 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 21, 1995 ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION. The Plan was adopted by the Board on November 23, 1992, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders. The Plan was amended and restated by the Board on November 21, 1995, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders. All share amounts in this restatement have been adjusted to reflect the 100% stock dividend paid by the Company on June 26, 1995. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Key Employees to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Key Employees with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Key Employees directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION. 2.1 Committee Composition. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist of two or more disinterested directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. A member of the Board shall be deemed to be "disinterested" only if he or she satisfies such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for disinterested administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act. An Outside Director shall not fail to be "disinterested" solely because he or she receives the NSO grant described in Section 4.2. 2.2 Committee Responsibilities. The Committee shall (a) select the Key Employees who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other conditions of such Awards, (c) interpret the Plan and (d) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee's determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons. -5- ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS. 3.1 Basic Limitation. Any Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 1,400,000 plus the number of Common Shares remaining available for awards under the Company's 1987 Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Plan for Non-employee Directors (the "Prior Plans") at the time this Plan is first approved by the stockholders. (No additional grants shall be made under the Prior Plans after this Plan has been approved by the stockholders.) The limi- tation of this Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 3.2 Additional Shares. If any Stock Units or Options are forfeited or if any Options terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then such Stock Units or Options shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If any options under the Prior Plans are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then such options shall become available for additional Awards under this Plan. However, if Options are surrendered upon the exercise of related SARs, then such Options shall not be restored to the pool available for Awards. 3.3 Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents distributed under the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units or Options available for Awards, whether or not such dividend equivalents are converted into Stock Units. ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY. 4.1 General Rules. Only Key Employees shall be eligible for designation as Participants by the Committee. Key Employees who are Outside Directors shall only be eligible for the grant of the NSOs described in Section 4.2. 4.2 Outside Directors. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the participation of Outside Directors in the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions: (a) Outside Directors shall receive no Awards other than the NSOs described in this Section 4.2. (b)(i) Each person who first becomes an Outside Director on or after February 6, 1996, shall, upon becoming an Outside Director, receive an NSO covering 10,000 Common Shares (subject to adjustment under Article 10), hereinafter referred to as an "Initial Grant." Such Initial Grant shall become exercisable in increments of 2,000 shares (subject to adjustment under Article 10) on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. -6- (ii) On the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on or after February 6, 1996, each Outside Director who has been an Outside Director at least since the prior annual meeting shall receive an NSO covering 1,000 Common Shares (subject to adjustment under Article 10), hereinafter referred to as an "Annual Grant." Such Annual Grants shall become exercisable in full 12 months after the date of grant. (c) All NSOs granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4.2 shall also become exercisable in full in the event of (i) the termination of such Outside Director's service because of death, total and permanent disability or voluntary retirement at or after age 65 or (ii) a Change in Control with respect to the Company. (d) The Exercise Price under all NSOs granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4.2 shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant, payable in one of the forms described in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. (e) All Initial Grants granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4.2 shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the 10th anniversary of the date of grant, (ii) the date three months after the termination of such Outside Director's service for any reason other than death or total and permanent disability or (iii) the date 12 months after the termination of such Outside Director's service because of death or total and permanent disability. All Annual Grants granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4.2 shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, (ii) the date three months after the termination of such Outside Director's service for any reason other than death or total and permanent disability or (iii) the date 12 months after the termination of such Outside Director's service because of death or total and permanent disability. 4.3 Ten-Percent Stockholders. A Key Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the requirements set forth in section 422(c)(6) of the Code are satisfied. 4.4 Limitation on Option Grants. No person shall receive Options for more than 50,000 Common Shares (subject to adjustment under Article 10) in any single fiscal year of the Company. -7- ARTICLE 5. OPTIONS. 5.1 Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 5.2 Awards Nontransferable. No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by will, by a beneficiary designation executed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him or her or by his or her guardian or legal representative. No Option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. 5.3 Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. 5.4 Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. 5.5 Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's service. NSOs may also be awarded in combination with Restricted Shares or Stock Units, and such an Award may provide that the NSOs will not be exercisable unless the related Restricted Shares or Stock Units are forfeited. 5.6 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option (and any SARs included therein) shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. If the Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the succeeding six months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the Committee may determine that any or all outstanding Options (and any SARs included therein) shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such Options. -8- 5.7 Modification or Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option. ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES. 6.1 General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash at the time when such Common Shares are purchased, except as follows: (a) In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall be made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement may specify that payment may be made in any form(s) described in this Article 6. (b) In the case of an NSO, the Committee may at any time accept payment in any form(s) described in this Article 6. 6.2 Surrender of Stock. To the extent that this Section 6.2 is applicable, payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with Common Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee for more than twelve months. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Common Shares are purchased under the Plan. 6.3 Exercise/Sale. To the extent that this Section 6.3 is applicable, payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or other party approved by the Company to sell Common Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes. 6.4 Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that this Section 6.4 is applicable, payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Common Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes. 6.5 Promissory Note. To the extent that this Section 6.5 is applicable, payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with a full-recourse promissory note; provided that the par value of newly issued Common Shares must be paid in lawful money of the U.S. at the time when such Common Shares are purchased. -9- 6.6 Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that this Section 6.6 is applicable, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules. ARTICLE 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 7.1 Grant of SARs. At the discretion of the Committee, an SAR may be included in each Option granted under the Plan, other than the NSOs granted to Outside Directors under Section 4.2. Such SAR shall entitle the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the Option after his or her death) to surrender to the Company, unexercised, all or any part of that portion of the Option which then is exercisable and to receive from the Company Common Shares or cash, or a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. If an SAR is exercised, the number of Common Shares remaining subject to the related Option shall be reduced accordingly, and vice versa. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of an SAR shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the surrendered portion of the Option exceeds the Exercise Price. In no event shall any SAR be exercised if such Fair Market Value does not exceed the Exercise Price. An SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or at any subsequent time, but not later than six months before the expiration of such NSO. 7.2 Exercise of SARs. An SAR may be exercised to the extent that the Option in which it is included is exercisable, subject to the restrictions imposed by Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act, if applicable. If, on the date when an Option expires, the Exercise Price under such Option is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such Option has not been exercised or surrendered, then any SAR included in such Option shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. An Option granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable as an SAR only in the event of a Change in Control. ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED SHARES AND STOCK UNITS. 8.1 Time, Amount and Form of Awards. Restricted Shares or Stock Units with respect to an Award Year may be granted during such Award Year or at any time thereafter. Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of Restricted Shares, in the form of Stock Units, or in any combination of both. Restricted Shares or Stock Units may also be awarded in combination with NSOs, and such an Award may provide that the Restricted Shares or Stock Units will be forfeited in the event that the related NSOs are exercised. -10- 8.2 Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall be required to pay the Company in lawful money of the U.S. an amount equal to the par value of such Restricted Shares. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units or treasury shares, no cash consideration shall be required of Award recipients. 8.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of making an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall become fully vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 8.4 Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in any combination of both. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 8.5 Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient's death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's estate. 8.6 Creditors' Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Award Agreement. ARTICLE 9. VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. 9.1 Restricted Shares. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company's other stockholders. A Stock Award Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional -11- Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Such additional Restricted Shares shall not reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3. 9.2 Stock Units. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan shall carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach. ARTICLE 10. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION. 10.1 Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spinoff or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in one or more of (a) the number of Options, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future Awards under Article 3, (b) the number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4.2, (c) the number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled, (d) the number of Common Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (e) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option. Except as provided in this Article 10, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 10.2 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Options, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving corporation), for accelerated vesting or for settlement in cash. -12- ARTICLE 11. LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Company may grant long-term performance awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3. ARTICLE 12. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS. 12.1 Retention Rights. Neither the Plan nor any award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an employee or director of the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the service of any employee or director at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any). 12.2 Stockholders' Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance of a stock certificate for such Common Shares. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Articles 8, 9 and 10. 12.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. ARTICLE 13. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS. 13.1 Basic Rule. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Board (the "Auditors") determine that any payment or transfer by the Company to or for the benefit of a Key Employee, whether paid or payable (or transferred or transferable) pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be non-deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning "excess parachute payments" in section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount; provided that the Committee, at the time of making an Award under this Plan or at any time thereafter, may specify in writing that such Award shall not be so reduced and shall not be subject to this Article 13. -13- For purposes of this Article 13, the "Reduced Amount" shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the Code. 13.2 Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the Code, then the Company shall promptly give the Key Employee notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Key Employee may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within 10 days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Key Employee within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Key Employee promptly of such election. For purposes of this Article 13, present value shall be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All determinations made by the Auditors under this Article 13 shall be binding upon the Company and the Key Employee and shall be made within 60 days of the date when a payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Key Employee such amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Key Employee in the future such amounts as become due to him or her under the Plan. 13.3 Overpayments and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the application of section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made (an "Overpayment") or that additional Payments which will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an "Underpayment"), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Key Employee which the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Key Employee which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Key Employee to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Key Employee, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. -14- 13.4 Related Corporations. For purposes of this Article 13, the term "Company" shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the Auditors in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code. ARTICLE 14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. 14.1 General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the recipient of any payment or distribution under the Plan shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of the receipt or vesting of such payment or distribution. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 14.2 Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold a portion of any Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering a portion of any Common Shares that previously were issued to him or her. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. Any payment of taxes by assigning Common Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. ARTICLE 15. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF AWARDS. Except as provided in Article 14, any Award granted under the Plan shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor's process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Article 15 shall be void. However, this Article 15 shall not preclude a Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any undistributed Awards in the event of the Participant's death, nor shall it preclude a transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition, neither this Article 15 nor any other provision of the Plan shall preclude a Participant from transferring or assigning Restricted Shares or Stock Units to (a) the trustee of a trust that is revocable by such Participant alone, both at the time of the transfer or assignment and at all times thereafter prior to such Participant's death, or (b) the trustee of any other trust to the extent approved in advance by the Committee in writing. A transfer or assignment of Restricted Shares or Stock Units from such trustee to any person other than such Participant shall be permitted only to the extent approved in advance by the Committee in writing, and Restricted Shares or Stock Units held by such trustee shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, as if such trustee were a party to such Agreement. -15- ARTICLE 16. FUTURE OF THE PLAN. 16.1 Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective upon approval by the Stockholders of the Company. The Plan shall remain in effect until it is terminated under Section 16.2, except that no ISOs shall be granted after November 20, 2005. 16.2 Amendment or Termination. The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan, except that the provisions of Section 4.2 relating to Outside Directors shall not be amended more than once in any six-month period. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.
