Hansen Poway, CA 92064 Dear Bruce: As we've discussed, the purpose of this letter agreement between you and HNC Software Inc. ("HNC") is to confirm the current terms and conditions of your employment with HNC, including certain modifications to your revised employment offer letter with HNC dated March 1, 2000, a copy of which is attached to this letter as Appendix 1 (the "OFFER LETTER"). In consideration of our mutual agreements set forth below in this letter, you and HNC hereby agree as follows: 1. Your employment with HNC will continue to be on an "at will" basis, as provided in the second full paragraph on page 2 of the Offer Letter. This means that your employment with HNC may be terminated at any time, with or without cause or prior notice, for any reason or no reason; provided, however, that HNC will not terminate your employment prior to March 1, 2002 without Cause (as defined in Section 3 below). You agree that, if at any time during the course of your employment you are requested by HNC to work at home and/or not to work in HNC's offices for any period of time, then during that period of time you will not perform any services at, nor will you work at, enter onto or appear at, HNC's offices unless you are expressly requested to do so by HNC's Chief Executive Officer. 2. You agree to perform the duties requested of you by HNC's Board of Directors or any committee thereof (the "BOARD") and/or by HNC's Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO"). These duties will include active performance of your existing duties as HNC's President, such as providing day-to-day financial management of HNC's operations, staff oversight and JOOP strategy and policy setting. In particular, you agree that you will, as directed by the Board and/or the CEO, actively assist HNC in: (a) recruiting persons designated by the Board and/or the CEO to serve as officers or management team members; (b) training and orienting any persons hired by HNC as officers or management team members in order to facilitate an orderly, stable and successful transition in HNC's business and management organization; (c) achieving management's "buy in" to HNC's strategic direction as determined by the Board and the CEO; and (d) maintaining stability in HNC's management team, such as working to ensure that the roles and responsibilities of HNC management team members are suitably matched. 3. If your employment with HNC is terminated by HNC at any time for any reason other than "Cause" (as defined below in this Section 3), then, subject to your first executing and delivering to HNC a settlement agreement and general release satisfactory to HNC and in substantially the form attached to this letter as Appendix 2 and such release becoming irrevocable and binding upon you: (a) HNC will pay you a cash severance payment in an amount equal to one (1) year of your then-current base salary (the "SEVERANCE PAYMENT"), with such Severance Payment to be paid to you in approximately equal monthly installments (net of all applicable payroll and tax withholdings) upon each of HNC's regular payroll periods during the one (1) year period immediately following the effective date of the termination of your employment other than for Cause (the "TERMINATION DATE"); (b) You will also become entitled to receive a cash bonus under the HNC bonus program in which you are participating during the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, to the extent that such bonus has been earned by you under the terms of such bonus program as of the Termination Date; provided however, that in no event will the amount of such bonus be less than the greater of: (i) sixty percent (60%) of your maximum target bonus for that fiscal year under such bonus program; or (ii) the average percentage of the maximum target bonus actually earned by members of the JOOP in that fiscal year (the "JOOP" being comprised of HNC's CEO and the members of HNC's "Office of the President"). Such bonus will be paid to you when the amount of similar bonuses payable to members of the JOOP for the fiscal year in question are determined and paid by HNC. (c) On the Termination Date, the vesting of your right to exercise the outstanding HNC common stock options then held by you (your "OPTIONS") will accelerate by one (1) year (and no more) and will cease to vest thereafter (that is, on the Termination Date your Options will vest and become exercisable to the extent that they would have been vested if you had remained continuously employed by HNC until one (1) year after the Termination Date). (d) Your Options will continue to be exercisable by you, to the extent they are vested pursuant to subparagraph (c) above, for a period of one (1) year after the Termination Date; (e) HNC will execute and deliver to you a limited release in substantially the form attached to this letter as Appendix 3;. (f) HNC will reimburse you for any verified COBRA payments that you make in order to continue your coverage under HNC's health and medical insurance benefit plans during the Continuation Period (as defined below); and (g) At its expense, during the Continuation Period HNC will continue your coverage under any life insurance benefits in which you are participating in your capacity as an HNC employee immediately prior to the Termination Date (if any), to the extent permitted under any such life insurance benefit plan(s). The "CONTINUATION PERIOD" means that time period beginning on the Termination Date and ending upon the earlier to occur of (i) one (1) year after the Termination Date or (ii) the first date on or after the Termination Date on which you commence employment with any other party. As used in this letter, the term "CAUSE" means: (a) your commission of a crime, an intentional tort, an act of violence or other willful misconduct that adversely affects the reputation or assets of HNC, any of its affiliates or any customer, licensee, licensor or supplier of HNC or any of its affiliates; (b) your commission of any crime or any act of fraud or dishonesty against HNC or any of its affiliates; (c) your intentional destruction, damage or misappropriation or conversion of any property (including without limitation technology, software or trade secrets) of HNC or any of its affiliates; (d) your habitual neglect of your duties to HNC; (e) your willful disregard or disobedience in any material respect of any of the stated policies of HNC that is not susceptible to cure or that is not cured within two (2) business days after the Board or CEO give you written notice of such disregard or disobedience; (f) a material breach by you of this Agreement or your Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement with HNC (including without limitation a breach by you of any of your agreements or obligations under Section 1 of this Agreement); or (g) your voluntary termination of employment with, or your voluntary resignation from, HNC prior to March 1, 2002. You agree with HNC that the provisions of this Section 3 entirely replace and supersede the fifth paragraph on page 1 of the Offer Letter (regarding severance). 4. You hereby confirm and agree that HNC has fully performed and satisfied all its obligations to you as provided in the second paragraph of page 1 of the Offer Letter and Attachment A thereto (regarding relocation assistance and reimbursement for temporary housing). You further confirm and agree with HNC that you have repaid in full to HNC the entire amount of principal and interest payable by you to HNC under: (a) that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 2, 2000 among HNC, you and your spouse, Jody A.

Hansen (collectively, the "LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT"); and (b) the Secured Full Recourse Promissory Note dated as of June 2, 2000 in the principal amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) made and given by you and Jody A. Hansen to HNC (the "SECURED NOTE"). 5. You agree that during your employment with HNC, and for a period of one (1) year after termination of your employment with HNC, you will not for any reason, whether directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, recruit, take away or attempt to take away, any employee or consultant of HNC or any of its affiliates, or induce (or attempt to induce) any employee or consultant of HNC or any of its affiliates to terminate his or its employment or services with HNC or any of HNC's affiliates; or (b) use any confidential or proprietary information of HNC or any of it is affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit any customer of HNC or any of its affiliates or induce any customer of HNC or its affiliates to terminate its relationship with HNC or any HNC affiliate.

We agree that any dispute or claim, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise, relating to or arising out of your employment with HNC, or relating to the Offer Letter and/or to this letter agreement shall be subject to final and binding arbitration as provided in the final paragraph of the Offer Letter and the Agreement to Arbitrate Claims between you and HNC which you signed and dated as of March 1, 2000 (the "ARBITRATION AGREEMENT"); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Arbitration Agreement, you acknowledge and agree with HNC that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by you or HNC of your Invention Assignment / Confidentiality Agreement or the provisions of Section 5 of this letter agreement, the non-breaching party would suffer irreparable harm in an amount that could not be readily determined, and therefore the non-breaching party will be entitled to the remedies of injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies to enforce such provisions and will be entitled to seek such relief and remedies from a court without the need for arbitration. 7. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in, or amended by, this letter agreement, the terms of your employment with HNC as set forth in the Offer Letter will continue in full force and effect. In addition, you confirm and agree that you will continue to be bound by and subject to all the terms and conditions of your Invention Assignment / Confidentiality Agreement, as modified by this letter agreement.
