(a) Unless expressly authorized in the Permitted Applications, the Service is for Customer’s and Customer’s End-Users sole use. The Service may not be shared with affiliates or any third party, including joint marketing arrangements. The Service may not be used outside the United States without the prior written consent of FACL.

(b) Unless expressly authorized in the Permitted Applications, Customer shall not: (i) disclose, use, disseminate, reproduce or publish any portion of the Service in any manner, (ii) permit any parent, subsidiaries, affiliated entities or other third parties to use the Service or any portion thereof (iii) process any portion of the Service or permit any portion of the Service to be processed with other data or software from any other source, (iv) allow access to the Service through any terminals located outside of Customer’s or End-Users operations, (v) use the Service to create, enhance or structure any database in any form for resale or distribution, or (vi) use the Service to create derivative products.

(c) Customer shall (i) abide by all prevailing federal, state, and local laws and regulations of any kind governing fair information practices and consumers’ rights to privacy, including without limitation any applicable non-solicitation laws and regulations; and (ii) limit access to consumer information to those individuals who have a “need to know” in connection with Customer’s business and will obligate those individuals to acknowledge consumers’ rights to privacy and adhere to fair information practices and consumer’s right to privacy.

3. DELIVERY OF DATA AND FORMAT

FACL shall provide to Customer the Services and updates in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit A, Part C (Delivery). Customer acknowledges that the amount of Information available varies substantially from area-to-area, and that circumstances may exist or arise which may prevent FACL from providing such data or achieving complete representation of all data elements of the Services. The Information shall not be construed as or constitute a representation as to the condition of title to real property. The Information may not include all recorded conveyances, instruments or documents which impart constructive notice with respect to any chain of title described in the Information. Customer further acknowledges that the sale amount data element of any deed transaction data included within the Information is not available in some states and some such sale amount data are estimates of value based on available data and are calculated by FACL. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, FACL may discontinue providing Services for any geographic location which prohibits FACL’s provision of such Services in accordance with this Agreement, or for any geographic location as to which FACL has discontinued the collection of data for its own business. FACL and Customer shall renegotiate the Fees in good faith according to the prevailing pricing models if FACL materially modifies the content or geographic coverage of the Services provided to Customer. FACL reserves the right to invoice (at FACL’s prevailing price models) additional file refreshes and duplicates which the parties consider outside the scope of the Agreement, should Customer make such a request of FACL.

4. FEES

4.1 Fees. In consideration of the rights granted Customer hereunder, Customer shall pay FACL the Fees monthly within thirty (30) days of FACL invoice unless provided differently in Exhibit A.

4.2 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of sales, use, ad valorem, personal property, and other taxes, which are the responsibility of Customer. FACL shall charge Customer applicable sales tax, Customer shall be responsible for filing all other taxes. If applicable, Customer must provide FACL with a Reseller Identification Certificate in order to be exempt from sales tax charges on royalty fees.

4.3 Billing; Payments; Late Fees. At the end of each FACL monthly billing cycle, FACL will invoice Customer for all Fees incurred by Customer and/or the Customer’s End-Users during such billing cycle. Customer shall pay the invoice in full within thirty (30) days of receipt. If full payment is not made, a charge equal to one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) will be added to the balance due, not to exceed the maximum legal limit permitted by law. If Customer becomes thirty (30) or more days past due, Customer’s access or shipment will be automatically disabled until all past due charges are paid, and Customer shall be in breach of this Agreement. Customer shall continue to be responsible for any monthly minimum charge during any period that access or shipment is suspended. If it becomes necessary for FACL to enforce this Agreement through an attorney, collection agency, or directly through small claims court, Customer shall pay all attorney’s fees, agency fees, court costs, and other collections costs, including without limitation post-judgment costs for legal services at trial and appellate levels. Delinquency may affect Customer’s credit rating.

4.4 Reporting; Audits.

(a) Report. If applicable, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month, Customer shall provide FACL’s accounting department a detailed and accurate statement of the calculation of all payments earned with respect to such month, together with payment thereof. If applicable, such report shall indicate which transactions are subject to the Perpetual License Fees described in Exhibit A, if applicable.

(b) Financial Audits. Customer shall maintain current, accurate, and complete books and records relating to its usage of the FACL Services and all payments due FACL hereunder. FACL or its designee (which may be a certified public accountant chosen by FACL) may, at any time while this Agreement is in effect and for a period of six months thereafter (but no more than once in a six-month period), require Customer to provide a certified statement prepared by a certified public accountant, at Customer’s expense, verifying the accuracy of records relating to Customer’s usage of the Service and all payments due FACL. If such certified statement indicates any errors in Customer’s records, FACL, or its designee, may, on reasonable advance notice to Customer and during reasonable business hours, examine, inspect and audit such books and records and any source documents pertaining thereto for the limited purpose of verifying the accuracy of Customer’s reports and the amounts due hereunder. FACL, or its designee, may, during the course of such examination, review or audit and make such copies and/or extracts of Customer’s books and records relating to Customer’s usage of the Service. FACL shall treat all such information reviewed during an audit as confidential and shall not disclose same to any third party (excluding FACL’s designee) without the written consent of Customer. FACL shall be solely responsible for the cost of such audit, unless FACL finds that Customer underpaid the amount of fees due hereunder in an amount greater than ten percent (10%) of the amount actually remitted. If Customer’s underpayment of such fees exceeds ten percent (10%) of the amount actually remitted, the Customer agrees to pay the full cost of the audit. Customer agrees within thirty (30) days of discovery of such underpayment to (i) make such underpayment and (ii) pay for the full cost of the audit, if applicable.

(c) Compliance Audits. FACL reserves the right, at its own expense, to select an independent auditor to audit Customer for the purpose of ensuring Customer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, after providing Customer with reasonable notice thereof. If such audit indicates there has been a material breach in Customer’s compliance of the Agreement, FACL shall provide Customer with written notice of such material breach. If Customer does not cure the breach within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice from FACL, FACL may terminate the Agreement and pursue its other legal remedies. Should Customer not cooperate with FACL’s reasonable request to audit for compliance within thirty (30) days of notice thereof, Customer shall be deemed to have conclusively admitted to a material breach in Customer’s compliance for which FACL may immediately terminate this Agreement and pursue its legal remedies.

5. TERM; TERMINATION

5.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing on the Effective Date. The term shall automatically renew for additional successive twelve (12) month terms, unless terminated pursuant to Subsection 5.2 (Termination) of this Agreement.

5.2 Termination. Although this Agreement may not be terminated without cause during the initial term, either party may forego automatic renewal by giving the other party not less than thirty (30) calendar days written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Except for the termination provisions in Section 4.4 (Reporting; Audits), if either party breaches any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall, upon providing written notice of such breach, be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement, provided such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following such notice. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of a breach, the non-breaching party shall, in addition to its right of termination, be entitled to pursue legal remedies against the breaching party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer is in breach under Section 4 (Fees) of this Agreement, FACL may terminate this Agreement effective ten (10) days after giving Customer written notice of such breach, unless Customer shall have remedied the breach within such ten (10) day period.

5.3 Payment upon Expiration or Earlier Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement as set forth above in Subsections 5.1 (Term) and 5.2 (Termination), Customer shall pay FACL in full for all products actually delivered and services actually performed by FACL under this Agreement prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination.

5.4 Return of Materials. Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, Customer, at its own expense, shall within fifteen (15) days of such termination, at FACL’s option as FACL shall notify Customer in writing, (i) return all Service materials and Information to FACL at the address set forth below on the signature page of this Agreement or (ii) certify (by a certificate signed by an officer of Customer) that such Service materials and Information have been destroyed. If such Service materials and Information have not been returned or destroyed in accordance with the above, Customer shall provide FACL or FACL’s agent access to Customer’s premises for the retrieval of all such materials, and Customer shall pay the actual costs as reasonably incurred by FACL to retrieve such materials. Customer shall be obligated to continue paying FACL fees ordinarily and reasonably charged by FACL for data of a similar nature and use after the termination of this Agreement, until such time as Customer returns to FACL or destroys such materials. In the alternative, Customer may pay FACL a Perpetual License Fee annually, if specifically provided for in Exhibit A, Part D (Fees), to retain the Information in Customer’s database. The parties agree that all restrictions and grants of use shall continue to apply should Customer be permitted to perpetually license the Information.

6. USE AND TRAINING

Customer shall limit use of the Service to its employees and End-User employees who have been appropriately trained. FACL shall provide, at a mutually convenient time, initial training in the use of the Service at no charge at mutually agreed upon locations, including Customer’s premises or End-Users premises per FACL standardized training and support policies. FACL shall provide Customer with a telephone number for Customer to request assistance in the use of the Service Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, at no charge, as reasonably required and requested by Customer.

7. THIRD PARTY USE

If the Permitted Applications include providing a Service to End Users or Sublicensees, Customer agrees to contractually require all End Users to sign an agreement with substantially similar terms to this Agreement. Customer warrants that in no event shall End Users’ or Sublicensees’ use of the data be unrestricted or expand beyond the Permitted Applications of this Agreement. This Section 7 is not intended to provide the Service to End Users or Sublicensees unless specifically provided for in the Permitted Applications.

8. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

The Proprietary Information is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of FACL. Customer shall have only the limited rights with respect to the Proprietary Information expressly granted in this Agreement, and all rights not expressly granted by FACL are reserved. Customer agrees that only FACL shall have the right to alter, maintain, enhance or otherwise modify the Proprietary Information. Customer shall not disassemble, decompile, manipulate or reverse engineer the Proprietary Information and shall take all necessary steps to prevent such disassembly, decompiling, manipulation or reverse engineering of the Proprietary Information. Under no circumstances shall Customer sell, license, publish, display, copy, distribute, or otherwise make available the Proprietary Information in any form or by any means, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, including without limitation the transfer to a third party or, if not expressly prohibited by this Agreement, as allowed under the fair use provision of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 107. Customer shall take all reasonable steps, in accordance with the best industry practices, to protect the security of the Proprietary Information and to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure. Customer is responsible for ail access to and use of the Proprietary Information by Customer’s employees or agents or by means of Customer’s equipment or Customer’s FACL usernames and passwords, whether or not Customer has knowledge of or authorizes such access or use. Customer shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all assigned usernames and passwords, and Customer shall be responsible for all charges relating to the use of said usernames and passwords whether or not authorized by Customer.

9. CONSUMER PRIVACY

Customer acknowledges that the Service, while comprised in part of public record data, describes information that may be deemed to be sensitive information by some consumers. It is the policy of FACL to respect the request of consumers to remove their name, mailing address, e-mail address or telephone number from use in solicitation. Customer’s agreement to comply with this policy is an integral condition to FACL entering into this Agreement. Customer agrees (a) Customer shall not broadcast or otherwise make public the name, address or other information

 

Page 5 of 58


about an individual consumer, unless FACL and the subject consumer provide written authorization to do so; (b) Customer shall abide by all prevailing federal, state, and local laws and regulations of any kind governing fair information practices and consumers’ rights to privacy, including without limitation any applicable non-solicitation laws and regulations; and (c) Customer shall limit access to consumer information to those individuals who have a “need to know” in connection with Customer’s business and shall obligate those individuals to acknowledge consumers’ rights to privacy and adhere to fair information practices.

10. FACL WARRANTIES, INDEMNIFICATION & DISCLAIMERS

10.1 Warranty; Intellectual Property Infringement and Indemnification. FACL warrants to Customer that the Service does not infringe, misappropriate or violate the intellectual property rights of a third party. FACL shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses attributable to any allegation of intellectual property infringement arising out of this Agreement (unless such allegation arises from the combination or use of the Service with any other software, data, or materials not furnished by FACL or is used in violation of any term or condition contained in this Agreement), provided that: (i) Customer gives FACL prompt written notice of any such allegation, (ii) FACL maintains full and complete control over the defense of any such allegation, and (iii) Customer cooperates fully with FACL in the defense of any such allegation. If the Service becomes or, in FACL’s opinion, is likely to become the subject of any claim or action that infringes, misappropriates or violates the intellectual property rights of another person, then FACL, at its expense and option, may: (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Service, (ii) modify the Service to render it no longer subject to any such claim or action, or (iii) replace the Service or any portion thereof with equally suitable, functionally equivalent, non-infringing data. If none of the foregoing is commercially practicable, FACL may terminate this Agreement and refund a pro-rata amount of the prepaid Fees actually paid hereunder. THIS SECTION SETS FORTH THE FULL EXTENT OF FACL’S LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

10.2 Limitations on Valuation Models. The Valuation Models do not constitute an appraisal of the subject property. They should not be relied upon in lieu of an appraisal or underwriting process. The predicted value reports are based upon data collected from public record sources. THE ACCURACY OF THE METHODOLOGY USED TO DEVELOP THE REPORTS, THE EXISTENCE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND THE ACCURACY OF THE PREDICTED VALUE AND ALL RULE SETS PROVIDED ARE ESTIMATES BASED ON AVAILABLE DATA AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED OR WARRANTED. The condition of the subject property and current market conditions can greatly affect the validity of the Valuation Models. Any Valuation Model generated does not include a physical inspection of the subject property or a visual inspection or analysis of current market conditions by a licensed or certified appraiser, which is typically included in an appraisal.

10.3 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY. FACL NEITHER ASSURES NOR ASSUMES ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY FOR THE PROPER PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES NECESSARY TO THE CONDUCT OF A REAL ESTATE CLOSING. FACL DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE IS COMPLETE OR FREE FROM ERROR, AND DOES NOT ASSUME, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE SERVICE, WHETHER SUCH ERRORS OR OMISSIONS RESULT FROM NEGLIGENCE, ACCIDENT, OR OTHER CAUSE. CUSTOMER SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING ANY AND ALL NECESSARY LICENSES, CERTIFICATES, PERMITS, APPROVALS OR OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL STATUTE, LAW OR REGULATION APPLICABLE TO CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICE. FACL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE LEGALITY OR PROPRIETY OF THE USE OF THE SERVICE IN ANY JURISDICTION, STATE OR REGION.

11. FACL’s LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

FACL’S TOTAL LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT MONEY DAMAGES NOT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO FACL DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. THIS

 

Page 6 of 58


LIMIT IS CUMULATIVE AND ALL PAYMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE AGGREGATED TO CALCULATE SATISFACTION OF THE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS SHALL NOT ENLARGE THE LIMIT. FACL SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY UNDER OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN IF FACL IS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY.

12. CUSTOMERS INDEMNIFICATION

Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold FACL harmless from and against all third party claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or related to the use of the Service by the Customer, or attributable to Customer’s breach of this Agreement, provided that FACL gives Customer prompt written notice of any such claim. FACL shall control the defense and any settlement of such claim, and Customer shall cooperate with FACL in defending against such claim.

13. GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Advertising. Customer shall not disclose FACL as a data source to any third party, except as may be authorized in writing by FACL or required by federal, state or local government regulations.

13.2 Proprietary Marks. Neither party shall use, or permit their respective employees, agents and subcontractors to use the trademarks, service marks, copyrighted material, logos, names, or any other proprietary designations of the other party, or the other party’s affiliates, whether registered or unregistered, without such other party’s prior written consent.

13.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes 11/17/2006 License Agreement or written, relating to the Service.

13.4 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

13.5 Waiver; Modifications. No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision hereof. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing and then only to the extent expressly set Forth in writing. No modifications of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties.

13.6 Survival. The following sections shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until fully satisfied: 2.2 (Restrictions on Use), 53 (Payment Upon Expiration or Earlier Termination), 5.4 (Return of Materials), 7 (Third Party Use), 8 (Proprietary Information), 10.2 (Limitation on Valuation Models), 10.3 (Disclaimer), 11 (FACL’s Limitation of Liability), 12 (Customer’s Indemnification), 13 (General Provisions).

A signature on a copy of this Agreement received by either party by facsimile is binding upon the other party as an original.

13.8 Governing Law and Forum; Attorneys’ Fees. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements executed and to be performed solely within such State.

Page 7 of 58


of this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it shall not seek a jury trial in any proceeding based upon or arising out of or otherwise related to this Agreement or any of the other documents and instruments contemplated hereby and each of the parties hereto waives any and all right to such jury trial. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. The prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in any lawsuit arising out of or related to this Agreement.

13.9 Relationship of Parties. Neither party is nor shall be a partner, joint venturer, agent or representative of the other party solely by virtue of this Agreement. Neither party has the right, power or authority to enter into any contract or incur any obligation, debt or liability on behalf of the other party.

13.10 Uncontrollable Events. No party shall be liable for any delay or failure in its performance of any of the acts required by this Agreement when such delay or failure arises for reasons beyond the reasonable control of such party. The time for performance of any act delayed by such causes shall be postponed for a period equal to the delay; provided, however, that the party so affected shall give prompt notice to the other party of such delay. The party so affected, however, shall use its best efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and to complete performance of the act delayed, whenever such causes are removed.

Exhibit B

Marketing Guidelines and Permitted Uses

This exhibit sets forth Freddie Mac’s standards for licensing and distributing the Products. This list is not exhaustive, and may be modified at any time as Freddie Mac deems necessary.

The Products were developed by Freddie Mac to support its mission in the secondary mortgage market. Promoting or licensing Products to any business not obviously in line or supporting our mission is not appropriate. As a Products distributor (as a Distributor or Reseller) or user (End User), you may market, license and provide Freddie Mac’s automated valuation products only for uses that in some way help people afford and/or wisely manage their home ownership. These tools should not be licensed to any business or entity that could or would use the Products to compromise a borrower’s investment in a home.

Contact Information

If you have questions about how to interpret this exhibit or have marketing or promotional materials for approval, please contact your Freddie Mac relationship manager.

Approval Process for Marketing Materials

Distributor agrees to deliver any proposed marketing materials and a distribution plan to your Freddie Mac relationship manager for approval prior to actual use of such materials. Resellers and End Users agree to deliver any proposed marketing materials and a distribution plan to Distributor, who in turn, will deliver them to Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac will return feedback to Distributor. Freddie Mac may approve, deny, or require edits to the marketing materials and/or distribution plan.

If the materials require revision, Distributor agrees to resubmit the materials as revised to Freddie Mac for approval. Upon final approval, Distributor will provide Freddie Mac with the final marketing materials.

Freddie Mac will attempt to review and respond as quickly as possible. Distributor should allow at least ten (10) business days for review. No final marketing materials should be prepared or distributed prior to final approval by Freddie Mac. Upon receipt of approval, Distributor will release the approved material within five (5) business days. Any subsequent release will require another approval from Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac reserves the right to withdraw its approval at any time.

Relationship References

When referencing the nature of your relationship with Freddie Mac, the correct term is “Distributor”, “Reseller”, or “End User”, as appropriate. Phrases stating or implying more than that (e.g., “in partnership with Freddie Mac”) are not permissible.

Product Descriptions

Home Value Explorer® (HVE®) – Freddie Mac’s Home Value Explorer is an automated valuation model (AVM) that electronically generates estimates of residential property values. Currently, the most common use is to establish residential property value for the purpose of granting second mortgages, home equity loans, and home equity lines of credit.

Home Value Calibrator® (CalibratorSM) – Freddie Mac’s Home Value Calibrator is a quality control tool that analyzes the relationship between key loan information, borrower information and collateral valuation data. It then generates a statistically derived score, predicting the likelihood that a property valuation is inflated.

 

Page 27 of 58


Copy Standards; Logos; User Interface

Any copy materials referencing or promoting Home Value Explorer or Home Value Calibrator must clearly establish them as a Freddie Mac product or service, and such materials must use appropriate branding and service marks.

The first product reference must be “Freddie Mac’s Home Value Explorer®” or “Freddie Mac’s Home Value Calibrator®,” as appropriate. Subsequent references may use the same longer name, or in the case of the Home Value Explorer®, only “HVE®”, or in the case of Home Value Calibrator®, only “HVCSM”. The SM and ® symbols must appear the first time the respective product names are used in a document.

Freddie Mac reserves the right to prescribe the format and layout of the user interface of Freddie Mac’s Home Value Explorer and Freddie Mac’s Home Value Calibrator.

The Products and Model Results must be clearly identified as a Freddie Mac home valuation product. The Products and Model Results may not be repackaged, merged with, or offered for sale, as products or model results not derived from Freddie Mac, without Freddie Mac’s prior written consent.

Exhibit F-1

Test and Confidentiality Agreement

Home Value Explorer®

Do not use this Confidentiality Agreement for Home Value Calibrator®. See Exhibit F-2.

This Test and Confidentiality Agreement (this “Confidentiality Agreement”) is effective this      day of                              , 200     by

and between                                                       (“End User”) and Freddie Mac

WHEREAS, Freddie Mac and End User are discussing the possibility of End User entering into an agreement relating to certain proprietary automated property valuation models and the proprietary software that can deliver estimates of specific residential property using Freddie Mac databases (the “Products”). Prior to entering into an agreement to license the Products (the “End User Agreement”) End User desires to test the Products (the “Bona Fide Test”) provided, however, that nothing contained in this Confidentiality Agreement will be deemed to obligate either party to negotiate or enter into the End User Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the parties’ discussions relating to the Products End User may be given access to confidential and proprietary information of Freddie Mac.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby, acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Uses Disclosure and Copying of Freddie Mac Information.

 

  (a) “Freddie Mac Information” means all information previously provided, or that in the future is provided, to End User by or on behalf of Freddie Mac, in connection with the Bona Fide Test, whether delivered orally or in writing and whether or not it is specifically marked or designated confidential. Freddie Mac Information also includes all materials that End User prepares based on Freddie Mac Information, including, without limitation, notes, reports or test data End User develops in connection with the Bona Fide Test. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, the following information constitutes Freddie Mac Information: all Freddie Mac analytic models and algorithms and any non-public information relating to Freddie Mac’s Products. The Products include without limitation, algorithms, software, templates, databases and other tools owned by or licensed by Freddie Mac to deliver the Products to an end user.

 

  (b) End User will treat all Freddie Mac Information as strictly confidential. Without limiting the foregoing:

 

  (i) End User will not use Freddie Mac Information except to the extent necessary to test and evaluate for the purpose of licensing the Products.

 

  (ii) End User will keep the results of the Bona Fide Test, including any notes, files or reports it creates during the Bona Fide Test, confidential unless Freddie Mac agrees otherwise in writing.

 

  (iii) End User will not disclose Freddie Mac Information, except to its employees who need to know such Freddie Mac Information to evaluate the Products and who are legally obligated to maintain the confidentiality of Freddie Mac Information and to use Freddie Mac Information only as permitted by this Section I.

 

  (iv) End User will not copy any Freddie Mac Information, except to the extent necessary to evaluate the Products. End User will retain all confidentiality markings on any Freddie Mac information and will prominently mark “Confidential” on all copies and other materials it produces that include Freddie Mac Information.

 

Page 34 of 58


  (c) In the event End User anticipates that it may be required for any reason to release or disclose Freddie Mac Information outside its organization, End User will promptly notify Freddie Mac and will take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by Freddie Mac to provide Freddie Mac with a meaningful opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise respond in such manner as Freddie Mac deems appropriate.

 

  (d) Nothing in this Confidentiality Agreement will transfer to End User any rights in Freddie Mac Information, including, but not limited to, any patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights related thereto.

 

2. As Is. ALL FREDDIE MAC INFORMATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, ACCURACY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

 

3. Bona Fide Test.

 

  (a) Bona Fide Tests must contain a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 100,000 address records unless Freddie Mac has given its prior written consent.

 

  (b) Bona Fide Tests will be limited to a maximum of two (2) requests per End User in a twelve (12) month period unless Freddie Mac has given its prior written consent.

 

  (c) Bona Fide Test results may not be merged or commingled with results from third party applications.

 

  (d) Freddie Mac will return all Bona Fide Test results directly to End User.

 

  (e) Bona Fide Test requests are typically processed within three (3) to five (5) business days from receipt of the test file.

 

  (f) All summaries of Bona Fide Test results performed by or on behalf of End User must be forwarded to the appropriate Freddie Mac relationship manager. All third party test results must be unidentifiable.

 

4. Destruction of Test Information. Upon the earliest of (a) thirty (30) days of receipt of the Bona Fide Test results, or (b) written demand by Freddie Mac, End User will destroy all Bona Fide Test results and all copies thereof, if any. Within five business days of the occurrence of (a) or (b) of this section, End User will certify the destruction of Bona Fide Test results in writing to Freddie Mac.

 

5. Suggestions. End User may from time to time provide comments, suggestions and other feedback to Freddie Mac concerning the Bona Fide Test, the Products or the Freddie Mac Information (the “Suggestions”). All Suggestions are provided and received on a purely voluntary basis and, in the absence of a separate agreement executed by both parties, will not create any confidentiality or other obligation on the part of Freddie Mac. Except to the extent otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Freddie Mac will have the right to use such Suggestions in such manner as it elects in its sole discretion, without obligation of any kind to End User.

 

6. Exclusions.

 

  (a) End User’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will not extend to Freddie Mac Information to the extent such information:

 

  (i) is publicly known at the time in question without a breach of this Confidentiality Agreement provided that End User’s obligations will apply with respect to any database of information provided by Freddie Mac, notwithstanding the fact that the database may include information that may otherwise be publicly available;

 

Page 35 of 58


  (ii) is provided to End User on a non-confidential basis by a third party that is not itself under any confidentiality obligation with respect to the information; or

 

  (iii) is independently developed by End User without use of or reference to Freddie Mac Information. However, notwithstanding the fact that a portion of Freddie Mac Information is or becomes non-confidential, End User’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will continue to apply to all other Freddie Mac Information.

 

  (b) This Confidentiality Agreement will not prevent End User from disclosing Freddie Mac Information to the extent required by a government agency or court of competent jurisdiction, provided that End User complies with the requirements of subsection 1 (c).

 

7. Audit Right; Remedies.

 

  (a) If requested by Freddie Mac, End User will allow, upon ten (10) business days prior notice, a review or audit of End User’s records, files, processes and controls related to this Agreement and will promptly respond to requests for information and other documentation related to this Agreement. End User will make its personnel and facilities available and otherwise cooperate reasonably in connection with any such review or audit and will promptly consider any reasonable process improvement suggested in such audit.

 

  (b) Any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by End User may cause substantial and irreparable harm to Freddie Mac, for which an award of monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Freddie Mac, may seek injunctive relief in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Freddie Mac, at law and in equity. End User hereby waives, and will cause its directors, officers, employees, subcontractors, partners, principals and agents to waive, any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. All rights and remedies provided to Freddie Mac, in this Confidentiality Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in lieu of, Freddie Mac’s rights and remedies at law and in equity.

 

8. Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement will be construed, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder determined, in accordance with the substantive law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding provisions of Virginia law concerning choice-of-law that would result in the law of any state other than Virginia being applied. However, the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (or any substantially similar law enacted by Virginia) will not apply to this Agreement or the performance of it, and instead the law of Virginia as it exists without reference to the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will apply.

 

9. Binding Effect/Successors and Assigns. This Confidentiality Agreement will be binding upon End User and its directors, officers, employees, subcontractors, partners, principals and agents, successors and assigns. End User will notify all such individuals and entities of their obligations hereunder. This Confidentiality Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Freddie Mac its directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns.

 

10. Waivers. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Confidentiality Agreement will be valid unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. No waiver at any time of any provision of this Confidentiality Agreement will be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Confidentiality Agreement at that time or at any other time.

 

Page 36 of 58


11. Notices.

WHEREAS, Freddie Mac and End User are discussing the possibility of End User entering into an agreement relating to Home Value Calibrator® (“Calibrator”), a quality control tool that assesses the probability that the market value of a property is less than an appraised value, a borrower’s estimated value, or a purchase price. Prior to entering into an agreement to license Calibrator (the “End User Agreement”), End User desires to test Calibrator (the “Bona Fide Test”) provided, however, that nothing in this Confidentiality Agreement will obligate either party to negotiate or enter into the End User Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the parties’ discussions relating to Calibrator, End User may be given access to confidential and proprietary information of Freddie Mac.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Page 41 of 58


7. Exclusions.

 

  (a) Neither party’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will extend to Confidential Information to the extent such information:

 

  (i) is publicly known at the time in question without a breach of this Confidentiality Agreement provided that End User’s obligations will apply with respect to any data provided by Freddie Mac, notwithstanding the fact that the data may include information that may otherwise be publicly available;

 

  (ii) is provided to Recipient on a non-confidential basis by a third party that is not itself under any confidentiality obligation with respect to the information; or

 

  (iii) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to Proprietor’s Confidential Information. However, notwithstanding the fact that a portion of Confidential Information is or becomes non-confidential, Recipient’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will continue to apply to all other Confidential Information.

End User will make its personnel and facilities available and otherwise cooperate reasonably in connection with any such review or audit and will promptly consider any reasonable process improvement suggested in such audit.

 

  (b) Any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement may cause substantial and irreparable harm to the other party for which an award of monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy.

Any claims, actions or proceedings arising out of or related to this Confidentiality Agreement will be brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division. Each party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of said Court and consents to the dismissal of any action related to this Confidentiality Agreement that is brought in any other forum.

 

10. Binding Effect/Successors and Assigns. This Confidentiality Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns and will be binding upon each party’s agents, consultants, subcontractors, directors, officers, partners, principals and employees.

 

11. Waivers. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Confidentiality Agreement will be valid unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. No waiver at any time of any provision of this Confidentiality Agreement will be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Confidentiality Agreement at that time or at any other time.

25. Indemnification. End User will indemnify Freddie Mac and Service Provider and their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns and hold each harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising directly or indirectly out of the breach of any of End User’s obligations hereunder, whether such breach arises out of its own action or inaction or the action or inaction of End User and its directors, officers, employees, subcontractors, partners, principals and agents, successors and assigns.
