7.25% Senior Notes

On May 20, 2011, CoreLogic, Inc. issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2021 (the "Notes"). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Agreement. Separate financial statements for each guarantor subsidiary are not included in this filing because each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned and the guarantees are full and unconditional, as well as joint and several. There were no significant restrictions on the ability of the parent company 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.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and: (i) rank equally with any of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) rank senior to all our existing and future subordinated indebtedness; (iii) are subordinated to any of our secured indebtedness (including indebtedness under our credit facility) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. The guarantees will: (i) rank equally with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors; (ii) rank senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantors; and (iii) are subordinated in right of payment to any secured indebtedness of the guarantors (including the guarantee of our credit facility) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

The Notes are redeemable by us, in whole or in part on or after June 1, 2016 at a price up to 103.63% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date, subject to other limitations. We may also redeem up to 35.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any time with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at a price equal to 107.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date, subject to certain other limitations. We may also redeem some or all of the Notes before June 1, 2016 at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus a "make-whole premium," plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, holders of the Notes have the right to cause us to purchase some or all of the Notes at 101.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The indenture governing the Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and that of our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred equity, pay dividends or make other distributions or other restricted payments, make certain investments, create restrictions on distributions from restricted subsidiaries, create liens on properties and certain assets to secure debt, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The indenture also contains customary events of default, including upon the failure to make timely payments on the Notes or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy certain covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If we have a significant increase in our outstanding debt or if our EBITDA decreases significantly, we may be unable to incur additional amounts of indebtedness, and the holders of the notes may be unwilling to permit us to amend the restrictive covenants to provide additional flexibility. In addition, the indenture contains a financial covenant for the incurrence of additional indebtedness that requires that the interest coverage ratio be at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any new indebtedness. There are carve-outs that permit us to incur certain indebtedness notwithstanding satisfaction of this ratio, but they are limited. Based on our EBITDA and interest charges as of December 31, 2015, we would be able to incur additional indebtedness without breaching the limitation on indebtedness covenant contained in the indenture and we are in compliance with all of our covenants under the indenture.

Credit Agreement

In April 2015, the Company, CoreLogic Australia Pty Limited and the guarantors named therein amended and restated our senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement amended and restated our previous senior secured credit facility that was entered into on March 25, 2014. The Credit Agreement provides for an $850.0 million five-year term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and a $550.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and expires on April 21, 2020. 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 by up to $750.0 million in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election, at (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the London interbank offering rate for Eurocurrency borrowings, adjusted for statutory reserves, plus the Applicable Rate. The initial Applicable Rate for Alternate Base Rate borrowings is 0.75% and for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate borrowings is 1.75%. Starting with the full fiscal quarter after the closing date, the Applicable Rate will vary depending on our leverage ratio. The minimum Applicable Rate for Alternate Base Rate borrowings will be 0.25% and the maximum will be 1.00%. The minimum Applicable Rate for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate borrowings will be 1.25% and the maximum will be 2.00%. The Credit Agreement also requires us to pay commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Facility, which will be a minimum of 0.25% and a maximum of 0.40%, depending on our leverage ratio.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are our and the guarantors' senior secured obligations, collateralized by a lien on substantially all of our and the guarantors' personal property assets and mortgages or deeds of trust on our and the guarantors' real property with a fair market value of $10.0 million or more (collectively, the "Collateral") and rank senior to any of our and the guarantors' unsecured indebtedness (including the Notes) to the extent of the value of the Collateral.

The Credit Agreement provides that loans under the Term Facility shall be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing on September 30, 2015 and continuing on each three-month anniversary thereafter until and including March 31, 2020 in an amount equal to $10.6 million on each repayment date from September 30, 2015 through June 30, 2017, $21.3 million on each repayment date from September 30, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and $31.9 million on each repayment date from September 30, 2018 through March 31, 2020. The outstanding balance of the term loan will be due on the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the Credit Agreement. The Term Facility is also subject to prepayment from (i) the net cash proceeds of certain debt incurred or issued by us and the guarantors and (ii) the net cash proceeds received by us or the guarantors from certain assets sales and recovery events, subject to certain reinvestment rights.

The Credit Agreement contains financial maintenance covenants, including a (i) maximum total leverage ratio not to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 (stepped down to 4.25 to 1.00 starting with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2016, with a further step down to 4.00 to 1.00 starting with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2017, stepped down to 3.50 to 1.00 starting with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2018 and provided further that if the Company completes a Qualified Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the total leverage ratio will step up by 0.25 basis points commencing in the fiscal quarter in which such Qualified Acquisition occurs and thereafter the total leverage ratio will step down by 0.25 basis points starting with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and that of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred equity, pay dividends or make other distributions or other restricted payments, make certain investments, create restrictions on distributions from subsidiaries, to enter into sale leaseback transactions, amend the terms of certain other indebtedness, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including upon the failure to make timely payments under the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy certain covenants, the occurrence of a change of control and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If we have a significant increase in our outstanding debt or if our earnings decrease significantly, we may be unable to incur additional amounts of indebtedness, and the lenders under the Credit Agreement may be unwilling to permit us to amend the financial or restrictive covenants described above to provide additional flexibility.

At December 31, 2015, we had borrowing capacity under the revolving lines of credit of $475.0 million, and were in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants of our Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we have recorded $3.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of accrued interest expense.

7.55% Senior Debentures

In April 1998, we issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.55% senior debentures due 2028. In April 2010, in anticipation of the Separation, we commenced a cash tender offer for these debentures and also solicited consent from the holders thereof to expressly affirm that the Separation would not conflict with the terms of the debentures. In April 2010, we announced that valid consents were tendered representing over 50.0% of the outstanding debentures. Accordingly, we received the requisite approvals from debenture holders and amended the related indentures. The indentures governing these debentures, as amended, contain limited restrictions on the Company.

Acquisition-Related Notes

In March 2011, we acquired a joint venture interest in 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 payable in three equal installments of $5.0 million. The remaining note payable is for $5.0 million and is non-interest bearing and was discounted to $4.9 million as of December 31, 2015.

Debt Issuance Costs

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement, we incurred approximately $6.5 million of debt issuance costs of which $0.4 million was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. We capitalized the remaining $6.1 million of debt issuance costs, within other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, and will amortize these costs over the term of the Credit Agreement.

When we amended and restated the Credit Agreement, we had unamortized costs of $14.8 million related to previously recorded debt issuance costs, which we will amortize over the term of the Credit Agreement and we wrote-off $1.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Interest Rate Swaps

In May 2014, we entered into amortizing interest rate swap transactions ("Swaps"). The Swaps became effective on December 31, 2014 and terminate in March 2019. The Swaps are for an initial notional balance of $500.0 million, with a fixed interest rate of 1.57%, and amortize quarterly by $12.5 million through December 31, 2017 and $25.0 million through December 31, 2018, with a remaining notional amount of $250.0 million. Previous amortizing interest rate swap transactions, entered into in June 2011, were terminated with a realized loss of $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 upon full repayment of the associated underlying debt.

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 $4.4 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a component of other liabilities.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, an unrealized loss of $0.4 million (net of $0.2 million in deferred taxes), an unrealized loss of $2.4 million (net of $1.5 million in deferred taxes) and an unrealized gain of $1.5 million (net of $0.9 million in deferred taxes), respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive loss related to these Swaps.
