Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fair Isaac Corporation (the "Company") provides both equity and cash compensation to its non-employee directors ("Outside Directors") as described in its most recent proxy statement. On August 29, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company formalized its practice relating to cash compensation for Outside Directors as described below (the "Program"). Pursuant to the Program, each Outside Director other than the Chair of the Board of Directors (the "Chair") will receive an annual retainer of $20,000, plus $1,000 for each Board or committee meeting attended. An Outside Director who is the Chair will receive an annual retainer of $40,000, plus $2,000 for each Board and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended. Serving as the chair of a standing Board committee entitles an Outside Director to an additional annual retainer of $5,000.

In addition, an Outside Director who is appointed as chair of a standing Board committee at any time following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders will receive a mid-year committee chair fee at the time of appointment as follows: (i) $15,000 if appointed with nine or more months remaining prior to the next annual meeting; (ii) $10,000 if appointed with more than six months but less than nine months remaining prior to the next annual meeting; and (iii) $5,000 if appointed with more than three months but less than six months prior to the next annual meeting.
