Senior Notes

On May 20, 2011, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2021 (the "Notes"). Separate financial statements for each guarantor subsidiary are not included in this filing because each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned and the guarantees of the Notes are joint and several and full and unconditional. The combined accounts of the guarantor subsidiaries, the combined accounts of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations and the consolidated accounts for CoreLogic, Inc. (the "Parent") for the dates and periods indicated are included in Note 18 - Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. The indenture governing the notes provides that the guarantees may be automatically and unconditionally released only upon the following circumstances: 1) the guarantor is sold or sells all of its assets in compliance with the terms of the indenture; 2) the guarantor is released from its guarantee obligations under the credit agreement; 3) the guarantor is properly designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary”; and 4) the requirements for legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. The maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the guarantees are essentially equal to the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Parent or any guarantor subsidiary to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Notes bear interest at 7.25% per annum and mature on June 1, 2021. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the indenture.

Existing Credit Agreement

On May 23, 2011, the Company, CoreLogic Australia Pty Limited and the guarantors named therein entered into a senior secured credit facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million five-year term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and a $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"). The Revolving Facility includes a $100.0 million multicurrency revolving sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Agreement also provides for the ability to increase the Term Facility and Revolving Facility commitments provided that the total credit exposure under the Credit Agreement does not exceed $1.4 billion in the aggregate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we prepaid $4.4 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Term Facility. This prepayment was applied to the most current portion of the term loan amortization schedule. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have recorded $12.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of accrued interest expense.

Contingent Credit Agreement

On June 30, 2013, we entered into an agreement to acquire Marshall & Swift/Boeckh ("MSB"), a provider of residential and commercial property valuation solutions, DataQuick Information Systems, a property data and analytics information company, and the credit and flood services operations of DataQuick Lender Solutions from the Decision Insight Information Group (together known as "DataQuick"). The closing of the transaction is conditioned upon customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

In September 2013, we entered into a contingent senior secured credit facility (the "Contingent Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and other financial institutions. The Contingent Credit Agreement provides for a $850.0 million five-year term loan facility (the "Contingent Term Facility") and a $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Contingent Revolving Facility"). The Contingent Revolving Facility includes a $100.0 million multicurrency revolving sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. Our ability to initially borrow under the Contingent Credit Agreement remains subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the consummation of the MSB and DataQuick acquisition and the termination of our existing credit agreement, dated as of May 23, 2011. The Contingent Credit Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2013 if these conditions have not been satisfied on or prior to such date (or on March 31, 2014 if the termination date of the MSB and DataQuick acquisition is extended).

Acquisition-Related Notes

In March 2011, we entered into a settlement services joint venture with Speedy Title & Appraisal Review Services LLC ("STARS"). Our initial investment in STARS was $20.0 million and we also issued a note payable for an additional $15.0 million of consideration, which is non-interest bearing and due in three equal installments. As of September 30, 2013, the discounted balance outstanding under the note was $9.1 million.

Interest Rate Swaps

In June 2011, we entered into amortizing interest rate swap transactions (“Swaps”) with a termination date of May 2016. The Swaps had an initial notional value of $200.0 million, with a fixed interest rate of 1.73% and amortize quarterly by $2.5 million through September 30, 2013, $5.0 million from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 and $7.5 million from October 1, 2014 through May 16, 2016, with a notional amount of $107.5 million.
 
We entered into the Swaps in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. We have designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges. The estimated fair value of these cash flow hedges resulted in a liability of $4.5 million and $6.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of other liabilities.
 
Unrealized gains of less than $0.1 million (net of less than $0.1 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized losses of $0.5 million (net of $0.3 million in deferred taxes) were recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) related to the Swaps for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, unrealized gains of $1.3 million (net of $0.8 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized losses of $1.3 million (net of $0.8 million in deferred taxes) were recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) related to the Swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
