Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

CEO Bonus Award for Fiscal 2005

In conjunction with the terms of the Employment Agreement dated January 30, 2004, by and between Fair Isaac Corporation (the "Company") and Thomas G. Grudnowski, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Grudnowski is eligible to receive an annual bonus ranging from $0 to two times his base salary for the applicable fiscal year based upon the achievement of certain strategic, business and financial objectives determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") in consultation with Mr. Grudnowski. On December 20, 2005, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Grudnowski an annual bonus of $850,000 for fiscal 2005. The Compensation Committee based this bonus award on the Company’s strong financial performance, including net income, earnings per share ("EPS") and revenue components over fiscal 2004, and Mr. Grudnowski’s achievement of established strategic goals, including the expansion of the organization’s executive leadership and the development of growth opportunities in new vertical markets.

CEO Performance Objectives for Fiscal 2006 Bonus Determination

On December 20, 2005, the Compensation Committee established a set of performance objectives pursuant to which Mr. Grudnowski’s annual bonus for fiscal 2006 will be determined. These objectives are weighted with approximately eighty percent of Mr. Grudnowki’s performance assessment to be based on the achievement of financial performance objectives, including revenue, net income and EPS components over fiscal 2005, and the remaining twenty percent to be based on the achievement of non-financial goals, including expansion of the organization’s leadership capacity, evaluation and pursuit of growth opportunities through new vertical markets and strategic acquisitions, and expansion of existing customer relationships.
