Except as may be authorized in prior writing by CoreLogic, Customer shall not use the Trademarks in any advertising or promotional material nor shall Customer disclose CoreLogic as a data source to any third party, except that such disclosures may be made as required by federal, state or local government regulations.

4. Delivery of Data and Format
Customer acknowledges that the availability of data elements in the Services varies substantially from area-to-area, and circumstances may exist or arise which prevent CoreLogic from providing such data or achieving complete representation of all data elements in the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, CoreLogic may limit or discontinue the provision of the Services for geographic locations where: (i) CoreLogic is restricted by rules, regulations, laws or governmental entities; (ii) CoreLogic has discontinued the collection of data; or (iii) CoreLogic is prohibited by third party providers. CoreLogic and Customer shall renegotiate the Fees (as defined below) in good faith on an annual basis after expiration of the applicable term set forth in the SOW if CoreLogic materially modifies the content or geographic coverage of the Services provided to Customer. Customer acknowledges and accepts CoreLogic’s use of offshore or onshore subcontractors to provide the Services, provided that, CoreLogic shall remain fully responsible and liable for such Services provided by such subcontractors. CoreLogic may discontinue, upgrade or change the production, support, delivery and maintenance of any Services if CoreLogic develops an upgraded version or otherwise can no longer provide such Services. In the event of any planned limitation or discontinuation of the provision of any Services pursuant to this Section 4, CoreLogic will provide Customer with at least one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice of its intent to limit or discontinue the provision of any Services, however if CoreLogic may legally and practicably continue to provide such Services, such Services will be provided for the Transition Period as defined in Section 7. Data included within the Services may be seeded to detect unauthorized use.
5. Fees
5.1 Fees. Customer shall pay CoreLogic the fees set forth in each SOW (“Fees”) within 45 days of receipt of CoreLogic’s invoice unless provided differently in the applicable SOW. Customer shall pay for all charges relating to the use of usernames and passwords whether or not authorized by Customer.

| Page 3 of 9 |
5.2 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of sales, use, ad valorem, personal property, and other taxes, which are the responsibility of Customer; provided that CoreLogic shall be responsible for its own income or payroll taxes. CoreLogic shall charge Customer applicable sales tax. Customer shall file all other taxes. If applicable, Customer shall provide CoreLogic with a resale or exemption certificate in order to notify CoreLogic how to appropriately invoice Customer for taxes.
5.3 Late Fees. If full payment of the undisputed fees is not made within the period set forth in Section 5.1 or the applicable SOW, CoreLogic may charge Customer equal to 1 1/2 percent of the balance due, not to exceed the maximum legal limit permitted by law. If Customer becomes 10 or more days past due and fails to pay all undisputed past due fees within 20 days of CoreLogic’s written notice of such delinquency, CoreLogic may suspend access or delivery of any Services provided under this Agreement until all undisputed past due charges and any related interest are paid; provided that if CoreLogic suspends access or delivery, Customer shall pay any minimum fees during any period for which access or delivery is suspended. CoreLogic may enforce Customer’s obligation to pay all undisputed fees through an attorney or collection agency, or CoreLogic may take legal action.
6. Reporting; Audits
6.1 Compliance Audits. Not more than one time per year (unless the first audit reveals a breach of the Agreement), CoreLogic may audit Customer for the purpose of ensuring Customer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to the use and distribution of the Services, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice. CoreLogic may choose the auditor (which shall be independent from CoreLogic) in its sole discretion, who must maintain all information obtained through the use of such audit in confidence and use such information solely for purposes of enforcing compliance with the Agreement and otherwise comply with Section 9 herein (however CoreLogic may disclose the information to the extent reasonably necessary to enforce compliance with the Agreement). If the audit indicates there is a breach in Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, CoreLogic will provide Customer with written notice of such breach pursuant to Section 7.1. If the audit indicates there is a material breach in Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, Customer will pay the cost of the audit. If Customer does not comply with CoreLogic’s request to audit, Customer shall be in material breach of the Agreement.
6.2 Financial Audits. The Parties shall maintain current, accurate, and complete books and records relating to the usage of the CoreLogic Services and all payments due CoreLogic. In the event that CoreLogic believes in good faith that the amounts paid to CoreLogic are not accurate, CoreLogic may, at any time while this Agreement is in effect and for a period of six months thereafter, require Customer to provide, at Customer’s expense, a certified statement prepared by a certified public accountant verifying the accuracy of records relating to Customer’s payments due CoreLogic. If, in CoreLogic’s reasonable assessment such certified statement indicates any errors in Customer’s records, CoreLogic may, on at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Customer and during business hours, examine, inspect and audit such books and records and any directly related source documents for the limited purpose of verifying the accuracy of Customer’s reports and the amounts due. CoreLogic shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any unreasonable disruption to Customer’s business as a result of such audit. CoreLogic shall treat all information reviewed during an audit as Customer’s Confidential Information and shall only use such information for purposes of enforcing compliance with the Agreement. CoreLogic shall pay for the cost of such audit, unless CoreLogic discovers through the audit process that Customer underpaid the fees due in an amount greater than 10 percent of the amount actually remitted. If Customer’s underpayment of fees exceeds 10 percent of the amount actually remitted, Customer shall pay the full cost of the audit and make such underpayment to CoreLogic within 45 days of discovery of such underpayment to CoreLogic.
7. Term; Termination
7.1 Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all SOWs are terminated. The term of each SOW is as specified in each such SOW. This Agreement, including each SOW, may not be terminated without cause during their respective terms, unless otherwise expressly provided within an SOW. If either Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, including a provision of any SOW, the non-breaching Party may, upon providing written notice of such breach, terminate this Agreement in its entirety or the specific SOW that was breached, if the breach is not cured within 30 days following such notice, unless a different cure period is otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the applicable SOW. If either party (i)

becomes insolvent, (ii) files, submits, initiates, agrees to or is subject to any bankruptcy petition, conservatorship, any request or petition for appointment of a receiver, any demand or application for voluntary or involuntary dissolution, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, the other party may, upon providing written notice to the other party, terminate the Agreement. Customer acknowledges that in the event an SOW requires certain minimum fees based on a minimum term, then in the event the Agreement or such SOW is terminated due to Customer’s breach, Customer may be required to pay CoreLogic the full amount of such outstanding minimum fees for the remainder of the then-current term.
7.2 Effects of Termination. Unless otherwise expressly provided below in Section 7.4, upon termination of this Agreement or a SOW, all license rights granted by CoreLogic to Customer pursuant to the Agreement or such SOW terminate and Customer shall pay CoreLogic in full for all Services accessed or delivered and for which fees are undisputed.
7.3 Return or Destruction of Materials. Within 15 days of termination of this Agreement or a SOW by either Party or expiration of the Transition Period, Customer shall: (i) return all Services (including all copies of the same) (the “Materials”) to CoreLogic at the addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or as specified by CoreLogic and certify by an officer of Customer that it has returned all Materials; or (ii) destroy all Materials and certify by an officer of Customer that such Materials have been destroyed.
7.4 Transition. Unless the Agreement is terminated as a result of Customer’s breach, the Parties agree that, commencing upon the date of the expiration or other termination of this Agreement or an SOW (the “End Date”), they shall permit each Permitted User to continue to access the Services as provided under this Agreement, and Customer shall continue to pay CoreLogic the applicable fees for such End Users for a minimum period equal to the end of an agreement with an End User in connection with the Services or twelve (12) months from the End Date, whichever comes first (the “Transition Period”), subject to any limitation or discontinuation of the Services pursuant to Section 4 above.
8. Third Party Use
This section applies to the extent the Permitted Applications specifically authorize Customer to provide the Services to Permitted Users. Customer shall contractually require such Permitted Users to sign an agreement with materially similar terms to the following terms in this Agreement: Sections 3, 4, 6.1, 7.3, 9, 12.4, and the Permitted Applications. Customer’s agreement with Permitted Users shall also name CoreLogic as an express third party beneficiary. Furthermore, Customer shall be liable for the use of the Services by Permitted Affiliates. In the event an End User or a Permitted Processor becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to pay its debts, or in the event an End User’s or a Permitted Processor’s use of the Services is not in compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, Customer shall, upon notice from CoreLogic, immediately suspend access or delivery of any Services to such End User or Permitted Processor.

Neither Party shall use, disseminate, reproduce or permit to be used, disseminated or reproduced, or in any way disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity except as required by law or as specifically permitted in this Agreement.

12. CoreLogic Indemnification; Disclaimers; Injunction
12.1 Indemnification. CoreLogic shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from all third party claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses attributable to any allegation of intellectual property infringement in the United States or CoreLogic’s use of the Confidential Information of Customer or Customer’s customers in violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the Data Contribution Exhibit to this Agreement. Customer will (i) give CoreLogic prompt written notice of any such allegation, (ii) give CoreLogic full and complete control over the defense of any such allegation and any related settlement, provided that, CoreLogic will not implicate Customer in any settlement that requires payment of fees by Customer or admits any liability on behalf of Customer without Customer’s consent, and (iii) reasonably cooperate with CoreLogic in the defense of any such allegation at CoreLogic’s expense. CoreLogic shall have no obligation to indemnify Customer to the extent Customer’s failure to comply with the foregoing sentence prejudices First American’s ability to indemnify Customer or defend against the third party’s allegation. Notwithstanding the above, CoreLogic shall have no obligation to indemnify Customer to the extent the infringement arises from (a) the combination or use of the Services with any other software, data, or materials not furnished by CoreLogic, (b) modifications are made to the Services without CoreLogic’s written authorization, or (c) the use of the Services in violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. THIS SECTION SETS FORTH CORELOGIC’S ENTIRE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIMS.
12.2 Infringement. If in CoreLogic’s sole and reasonable discretion it determines that the Services violate a third party’s intellectual property rights, CoreLogic may: (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the
| Page 6 of 9 |
Services; (ii) modify the Services to render them no longer subject to any such claim or action, provided that the modified Services are functionally equivalent to the original Services; or (iii) replace the Services with equally suitable, functionally equivalent, non-infringing services. If none of the above is commercially practicable, CoreLogic may terminate this Agreement and refund a pro rata amount of the prepaid fees actually paid by Customer for the unused Services.
12.3 Limitations on Services. The Services do not constitute an appraisal of any subject property. The Services do not include a physical or visual inspection of any subject property or an analysis of current market conditions by a licensed or certified appraiser. Customer acknowledges that the condition of any subject property and current market conditions may greatly affect the validity of the Services. Customer shall not use the Services in lieu of a walk-through appraisal or other form of appraisal by a certified appraiser. Customer acknowledges that certain Services are based upon data collected from public record sources. THE ACCURACY OF THE METHODOLOGY USED TO DEVELOP THE SERVICES, THE EXISTENCE OF ANY SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND THE ACCURACY OF ANY PREDICTED VALUE PROVIDED ARE ESTIMATES BASED ON AVAILABLE DATA AND ARE NOT WARRANTED.
12.4 Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY LISTED IN SECTION 11.1 (“WARRANTY”), THE SERVICES ARE 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, OR WARRANTIES BASED ON COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE IN TRADE. CORELOGIC DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES ARE COMPLETE OR FREE FROM ERROR OR WILL BE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS PER DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK, 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 SERVICES. CORELOGIC MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE LEGALITY OR PROPRIETY OF THE USE OF THE SERVICES IN ANY GEOGRAPHIC AREA. CUSTOMER SHALL NOT CONSTRUE THE SERVICES AS A REPRESENTATION BY CORELOGIC AS TO THE CONDITION OF TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SERVICES MAY NOT INCLUDE ALL RECORDED CONVEYANCES, OR DOCUMENTS WHICH IMPART CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CHAIN OF TITLE DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICES.
12.5 Injunction. Customer acknowledges that the Services are a valuable commercial product, the development of which involved the expenditure of substantial time and money. Any violation of the Permitted Applications is a material breach of the Agreement and entitles CoreLogic to seek injunctive relief. If Customer or its Permitted Users infringe or misappropriate any of CoreLogic’s intellectual proprietary rights or violate the Permitted Applications, CoreLogic may not have adequate remedy in money or damages. Granting of injunctive relief shall not limit CoreLogic’s right to seek further remedies at law or in equity.
13. Limitation of Liability
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF (1) CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 3 (LICENSE), (2) CUSTOMER’S OR CORELOGIC’S BREACH OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY), (3) CORELOGIC’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND (4) CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 14 OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY AND THE OTHER PARTY’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO DIRECT MONEY DAMAGES NOT EXCEEDING THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO CORELOGIC DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR $10,000. THIS LIMIT IS CUMULATIVE AND ALL PAYMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE AGGREGATED TO CALCULATE SATISFACTION OF THE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT ENLARGE THE LIMIT. THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY UNDER OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PARTIES ARE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES.

Customer shall have no obligation to indemnify CoreLogic to the extent CoreLogic’s failure to comply with the foregoing sentence prejudices Customer’s ability to indemnify CoreLogic or defend against the third party’s allegation.
