Number of Shares Subject to Award: [Number
of Shares]


 


Date of Grant: [Date]


 


Pursuant to the Equifax
Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Equifax Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), has
granted the above-named participant (“Participant”) Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”) entitling Participant
to receive such number of shares of Company common stock (the “Shares”) as is set forth above on the terms and conditions
set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.


 


1. 
  Grant Date. The Award is granted to participant on the Grant Date set forth above.


 


2.
   Vesting. 


 


(a) Subject to earlier
vesting in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 below, the Shares shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date set forth above
(the “Vesting Date”) in accordance with the vesting provisions of subsection (b) below. Prior to the Vesting Date,
the Shares subject to the Award shall be nontransferable and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be immediately forfeited
upon Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries.   Subject to the terms
of the Plan, the Committee reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive or reduce the vesting requirements.   
Participant acknowledges that the opportunity to obtain Shares represents valuable consideration, regardless of whether the Shares
actually vest.


 


(b)   The Shares subject
to the Award are intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) and the maximum number of Shares
that shall vest on the Vesting Date shall be equal to the result derived from the following formula:


 


(i)    one-half
of one percent (or, one and one-half percent if Participant is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) of the sum of the Company’s
operating profit for the period January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015, as determined by the Committee in accordance with the
Plan, divided by


 


(ii)    the
fair market value of a Share on the Vesting Date;


 


provided, however, that in no event shall
the number of Shares which vest on the Vesting Date exceed the number of Shares subject to the Award or the individual limits for
Participants as set forth in the Plan. The payout of vested Shares may be reduced, but not increased, based on the degree of attainment
of such performance criteria as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. To the extent unvested Shares are not paid
to Participant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then such unvested Shares shall be immediately forfeited.


 


3.
   Termination of Employment. The following provisions shall apply in the event of
Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary unless the Committee shall have provided
otherwise, either at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter:


 


(a)   Death.
If Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of his or her death prior to the Vesting Date, all unvested Shares subject
to this Award shall immediately become vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of Participant’s death.


 




    	- 1 -



    	 



    

  


(b)   Disability.
Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if Participant’s
employment is terminated by reason of his or her Disability (as such term is defined in the Plan) prior to the Vesting Date, for
purposes of determining the payment Participant is entitled to receive under this Award, Participant shall be treated as continuing
to be employed through the Vesting Date with payout based upon the performance results as determined under Section 2(b).


 


(c)   Retirement.
Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if Participant’s
employment is terminated by reason of his or her Retirement (as such term is defined in the Plan), other than for Cause, Participant
shall have the right to receive his or her full payment under the Award, if any, to which Participant would be entitled had he
or she remained employed through the Vesting Date with payout based upon the performance results as determined under Section 2(b).


 


4.    Change
of Control. If a Change of Control occurs while Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, then all unvested
Shares subject to the Award shall immediately become vested and nonforfeitable as of the date on which the Change of Control occurs.


 


5.    Clawback
Policy;   This Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Policy on
Recovery of Incentive Awards adopted effective January 1, 2010, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A and incorporated
herein by reference.


 


6. 
  Termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, termination for “Cause” means
termination as a result of (a) the willful and continued failure by Participant to substantially perform his or her duties
with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than a failure resulting from Participant’s incapacity due to physical or
mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Participant by his or her superior
officer which specifically identifies the manner the officer believes that Participant has not substantially performed his or
her duties, or (b) Participant’s willful misconduct which materially injures the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For
purposes of this Section, Participant’s act, or failure to act, will not be considered “willful” unless the
act or failure to act is not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best
interest of the Company.


 


7.    Transfer
of Vested Shares.  Stock certificates (or appropriate evidence of ownership) representing the unrestricted Shares
will be delivered to the Participant (or to a party designated by the Participant) as soon as practicable after (but in no event
later than 60 days after) the Vesting Date or event set forth in Sections 3 or 4; provided, however, if the Participant has properly
elected to defer delivery of the Shares pursuant to a plan or program of the Company, the Shares shall be issued and delivered
as provided in such plan or program.


 


8.    Dividends. 
Participants granted Shares shall not be entitled to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends or other distributions paid with
respect to the Shares, except in circumstances where the distribution is covered by Section 14 below.


 


9.    Non-Transferability
of Award.  Subject to any valid deferral election, until the Shares have been issued under this Award and the Shares
issuable hereunder and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated by operation of law or otherwise (except as permitted by the Plan).  Any attempt to do so contrary
to the provisions hereof shall be null and void.


 


10.   Conditions
to Issuance of Shares. The Shares deliverable to Participant hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued
Shares or issued Shares which have been reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or
certificates for Shares prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on
all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification
of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or
any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining
of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the grant of the Shares as
the Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.

11.   No
Rights as Shareholder.  Except as provided in Section 14, the Participant shall not have voting or any other
rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the unvested Shares.  Upon settlement of the Award into Shares, the
Participant will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.


 


12.   Administration. 
The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation,
and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules.  All actions taken and
all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company, and
all other interested persons.  No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.


 


13.   Fractional
Shares. Fractional shares will not be issued, and when any provision of this Agreement otherwise would entitle Participant
to receive a fractional share, that fraction will be disregarded.


 


14.   Adjustments
in Capital Structure. In the event of a change in corporate capitalization as described in Section 18 of the Plan, the
Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the number and class of Shares or other stock or securities subject to the Award.
The Committee’s adjustments shall be effective and final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.


 


15.   Taxes.
Regardless of any action the Company or a Subsidiary (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax,
social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant
acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains Participant’s
responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of
any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the grant or vesting of the Shares subject to this
Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such vesting and receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to
structure the terms or the grant or any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related
Items. Upon the vesting of this Award, Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the
Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation
paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if
permissible under local law, the Company may (1) sell or arrange for sale of Shares that Participant acquires to meet the required
withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) satisfy such obligations in Shares, provided that the Company only withholds
the amount of Shares necessary to withhold the required minimum withholding amount. In addition, Participant shall pay the Company
or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Participant’s
participation in the Plan or Participant’s purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s
obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

16.   Consents.
By accepting the grant of this Award, Participant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the
Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless
otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement; (ii) the grant of this Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create
any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Shares, or benefits in lieu of Shares, even if Shares have been granted
repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(iv) the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right of further employment with the Company and shall
not interfere with the ability of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment relationship at any time with or without
cause and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted
by law; (v) Participant is participating voluntarily in the Plan; (vi) this Award is an extraordinary item that is outside the
scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any; (vii) this Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary
for any purposes, including but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law; (viii)
in the event Participant is not an employee of the Company, this Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or
relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; (ix) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot
be predicted with certainty; (x) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, this Award will have no value; (xi) the value
of the Shares may increase or decrease in value; (xii) in consideration of the grant of this Award, no claim or entitlement to
compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Award or diminution in value of Shares subject to the Award resulting
from termination of Participant’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not
in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise;
if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting
the terms of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and (xiii)
except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach
of local labor laws), Participant’s right to receive Awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date
that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; furthermore,
in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Participant’s right
to this Award after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of Participant’s active
employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion
to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

APPENDIX A


 


POLICY ON RECOVERY OF INCENTIVE PAYMENTS


 


Application


 


The following policy on recovery of incentive
payments is adopted by the Compensation, Human Resources & Management Succession Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”)
of Equifax Inc. (“Company”) effective February 4, 2010, for Incentive Compensation awarded or paid for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 2009, and to the extent required by applicable law, to payments earned before that date.


 


The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
in appropriate circumstances and to the extent permitted by governing law, direct the Company to require recovery of all or a portion
of any Incentive Compensation awarded or paid to any Employee where:


 


		1.	The payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the
subject of a material restatement of Company financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”);



 


		2.	The Committee determines the Employee engaged in Misconduct that contributed to the need for the
material restatement; and



 


		3.	A lower Incentive Compensation payment would have been made to the Employee based upon the restated
financial results.



.


The Committee in its discretion also may
direct the Company to seek to recover the excess amount of any Incentive Compensation awarded or paid to a Covered Officer for
a fiscal period if the result of a performance measure upon which the award was based or paid is subsequently restated or otherwise
adjusted in a manner that would reduce the size of the award or payment, regardless of whether the Covered Officer committed any
Misconduct. Where the result of a performance measure was considered in determining the compensation awarded or paid, but the Incentive
Compensation is not awarded or paid on a formulaic basis, the Committee will determine in its discretion the amount, if any, by
which the payment or award should be reduced.   


 


		·	“Employee” for purposes of
this policy shall mean any current or former employee of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof.



		·	“Covered Officer” shall mean
the CEO and any current or former direct report to the CEO, including without limitation the Chief Accounting Officer, the head
of Internal Audit, and any other elected officer or executive officer as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.



		·	“Misconduct” shall mean a
knowing violation of SEC rules and regulations or Company policy. 



		·	“Incentive Compensation” shall
mean bonuses, annual incentive plan awards, or performance-based equity awards granted under the Company’s 2008 Omnibus
Incentive Plan or successor thereto. 



 


Amount to be Recovered


 


In each such instance, the Company will,
to the extent practicable, seek to recover from the individual Covered Officer the amount by which the individual’s Incentive
Compensation for the relevant periods exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results.
In addition, if an Employee engaged in Misconduct that contributed to award or payment of Incentive Compensation to him or her
that is greater than would have been paid or awarded in the absence of Misconduct, the Company may take other remedial and recovery
action, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, including recovery of all or part of the Incentive Compensation. The
right to recovery shall apply to Incentive Compensation received during the three years prior to the date on which the Company
is or was required to prepare a financial restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under
the securities laws of the United States or the Company discovers Misconduct, as applicable.


 


Methods for Recovery


 


The Committee shall determine whether the
Company shall effect any such recovery: (i) by seeking repayment from the Employee; (ii) by reducing (subject to applicable law
and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement) the amount that would otherwise be payable to the
Employee under any compensatory plan, program, or arrangement maintained by the Company; (iii) by withholding payment of future
increases in compensation (including the payment of any discretionary bonus amount) or grants of compensatory awards that would
otherwise have been made in accordance with the Company’s otherwise applicable compensation practices; or (iv) by any combination
of the foregoing. This policy shall be in addition to any other equitable or legal remedy that may be taken by the Company with
respect to the subject matter of this policy.


 






    	A-1



    	 



    
 


Coordination with Law


 


This policy shall be interpreted to comply
with section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. Law No. 111-203, as amended from time to
time, and Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in each case, any regulations promulgated with respect
thereto, and in the event that any provision of this policy is inconsistent with any requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act or any interpretive
regulations issued thereunder, the Committee shall have the authority to amend this policy at any time as the Committee deems necessary
or appropriate, in its sole discretion, to comply with the requirements of applicable law.

if Participant did not work in or perform services in the prior twelve (12) months for the particular business unit that competes
with the entity in question. For instance, if Participant works exclusively for the verification services sub-unit of the Workforce
Solutions business unit in the prior twelve (12) months, then the list of Restrictive Competitors for Participant shall only be
those entities listed in Paragraph 1(H)(2)(a).


 


I.             
“Restricted Period” means the time period during Participant’s employment with the Company, and for twelve (12)
months after Participant’s employment with the Company ends.


 




    	B-3



    	 



    

 


		J.	“Trade Secrets” means the Company’s trade secrets as defined by applicable statutory or common law.



 


		2.	Employment. During Participant’s employment, Participant shall perform such
duties for and on behalf of the Company as may be determined and assigned to Participant from time to time by Equifax. Participant
shall devote his or her best efforts to the business and affairs of Equifax.



 


		3.	Employment Relationship. The Parties acknowledge and
agree that this Restrictive Covenant Agreement does not create a contract of employment for a specified term. Unless Equifax and
Participant have entered a written agreement to the contrary, Participant’s employment relationship with the Company is at-will.
This means that Participant may terminate his or her employment with the Company at any time and for any reason whatsoever simply
by notifying the Company. Likewise, the Company may terminate Participant’s employment at any time with or without cause
or advance notice.



 


		4.	Acknowledgments. Participant acknowledges that:



 


		A.	Equifax is engaged in the Business as defined in Paragraph 1(A);



 


		B.	Participant’s position is a position of trust and responsibility with Equifax and will
provide Participant with continued access to Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and/or valuable information concerning employees
and customers of the Company;



 


		C.	the Trade Secrets and Confidential Information, and the relationship between Equifax and
each of its employees and customers, are valuable assets of Equifax;



 


		D.	Equifax’s competitors, including, but not limited to, the Enterprise Competitors and
the Restricted Competitors, will obtain an unfair advantage if Participant (i) discloses Confidential Information or Trade Secrets
to the Company’s competitors, (ii) uses Confidential Information or Trade Secrets on behalf of any entity that competes with
the Company, or (iii) exploits the relationships Participant develops on behalf of the Company during his or her employment to
solicit Customers or Company Workers on behalf of any entity that competes with Equifax and in violation of this Restrictive Covenant
Agreement; and



 


		E.	the restrictions contained in this Restrictive Covenant Agreement are reasonable and necessary
to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company, and will not impair or infringe upon Participant’s right to
work or earn a living in the event Participant’s employment with the Company ends.



 


		5.	Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. 



 


Participant
agrees that he or she will not:


 


		A.	Either during or for a period of two (2) years after Participant’s employment with
Equifax, use or disclose the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of duties in the Business on behalf
of the Company, except as authorized in writing by Equifax, and Participant shall not use or disclose Trade Secrets indefinitely;




  




    	B-4



    	 



    

  


		B.	During Participant’s employment with Equifax, use or disclose (a) any confidential
information or trade secrets of any Third Party, or (b) any works of authorship developed in whole or in part by Participant for
any Third Party, unless authorized in writing by the Third Party; or



 


		C.	upon the conclusion of Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason retain
Trade Secrets or Confidential Information, including any copies existing in any form (including electronic form) that are in Participant’s
possession or control, unless instructed to do so in writing by Equifax.



 


		6.	Non-Competition with Enterprise Competitors. During
the Restricted Period, Participant will not, except as authorized in writing by Equifax’s Chief Executive Officer or his
or her delegate, perform Competitive Tasks on behalf of any of the Enterprise Competitors. Participant
acknowledges that he/she has authority over and/or will gain Trade Secrets and Confidential Information regarding multiple areas
of Business. Because the Enterprise Competitors compete with most or all of the Company's Business, Participant agrees that the
Company has a legitimate interest in preventing Participant from performing Competitive Tasks on behalf of any business unit of
the Enterprise Competitors. 



 


		7.	Non-Competition with Restricted Competitors. During the Restricted Period, Participant
will not, except as authorized in writing by Equifax’s Chief Executive Officer or his or her delegate, perform Competitive
Tasks on behalf of any of the Restricted Competitors. This restriction is limited to a prohibition on working for a Restricted
Competitor (or a recognized division or department thereof) that competes with the area(s) of the Business in which Participant
worked or for which Participant performed work during Participant’s last twelve (12) months of employment with Equifax; this
restriction does not prevent Participant from working exclusively for a recognized division or department of a Restricted Competitor
that does not compete with the area(s) of the Business for which Participant performed work during Participant’s last twelve
(12) months of employment with Equifax.



 


		8.	Non-Solicitation of Customers.  During the Restricted Period, Participant will not
directly or indirectly solicit any Customer of the Company for the purpose of selling or providing any products or services competitive
with those offered by the area(s) of the Business in which Participant worked or for which Participant performed work during Participant’s
last twelve (12) months of employment with Equifax. The restrictions set forth in this Section apply only to Customers with whom
Participant had Contact. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit Participant from soliciting any Customer of the
Company for the purpose of selling or providing any products or services: (a) to a Customer that has terminated its business relationship
with the Company (for reasons other than being solicited or encouraged by Participant to do so), or (b) competitive with a product
line or service line the Company no longer offers. 



 


		9.	Non-Solicitation of Company Workers. During the Restricted
Period, Participant will not, directly or indirectly, on his or her behalf or on behalf of others, solicit any Company Worker to
terminate his or her employment relationship with Equifax in order to work for any other person or entity engaged in the Business.



 




    	B-5



    	 



    

 


		10.	Work Product. Except as set forth in a separate written agreement executed by a corporate executive officer of Equifax,
ownership of all programs, systems, inventions, discoveries, developments, modifications, procedures, ideas, innovations, know-how
or designs that either relate to Equifax’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or result
from any work performed by Participant for Equifax (hereinafter collectively called “Inventions”) are the property
of Equifax. Inventions shall not include any intellectual property the assignment of which to Equifax would be expressly prohibited
by a specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule or public policy, such as Delaware Code Annotated, Title 19, § 805,
Illinois Revised Statutes, Chapter 140, §§ 301-303, Kansas Statutes Annotated, §§ 44-130, Minnesota Statutes
Annotated, § 181.78, North Carolina General Statutes, §§ 66-57.1, 66-57.2, Utah Code Annotated, §§ 34-39-2,
34-39-3, or Washington Revised Code Annotated, §§ 49.44.140, 49.44.150. Participant will cooperate in applying for patents,
trademarks or copyrights on all Inventions as Equifax requests, and agrees to assign and hereby does assign those patents, trademarks,
copyrights and/or all other intellectual property rights to Equifax. Any works of authorship created by Participant in the course
of Participant’s duties are subject to the “Work for Hire” provisions contained in sections 101 and 201 of the
United States Copyright Law, Title 17 of the United States Code. Accordingly, all rights, title and interest to copyrights in all
works of authorship which have been or will be prepared by Participant within the scope of Participant’s employment (hereinafter
collectively called the “Works”), shall be the property of Equifax. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that,
to the extent the provisions of Title 17 of the United States Code do not vest in Equifax the copyrights to any Works, Participant
shall assign and hereby does assign to Equifax all rights, title and interest to copyrights which Participant may have in the Works.
Participant shall disclose to Equifax all Works and will execute and deliver all applications for registration, registrations,
and further documents relating to the copyrights to the Works. Participant shall provide such additional assistance as Equifax
may deem necessary and desirable to assign the Works or Inventions to Equifax and/or secure Equifax title to the patents, trademarks,
copyrights and/or all other intellectual property rights in the Works or Inventions, including the appointment of Equifax as its
agent to effect for such purposes. To the extent that any preexisting rights are embodied or reflected in the Works or Inventions,
Participant grants to Equifax an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free right and license to (i) use,
execute, reproduce, display, perform, distribute copies of and prepare derivative works based upon such preexisting rights; and
(ii) authorize others on Equifax’s behalf to do any or all of the foregoing, and Participant warrants that he or she has
full and unencumbered authority to grant such a license. The confidentiality requirements of the preceding paragraphs of this Restrictive
Covenant Agreement will apply to all of the above.



 


		11.	Return of Company Property/Materials. Upon the termination of Participant’s employment for any reason or upon
Equifax’s request at any time, Participant shall immediately return to Equifax all of Equifax’s property, including,
but not limited to, any mobile/smart phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), keys, passcards, credit cards, confidential or proprietary
lists (including, but not limited to, customer or vendor lists existing in any format), rolodexes, tapes, laptop computer, software,
computer files, external data device, marketing and sales materials, information relating to work done for Equifax or that Participant
obtained as a result of working for Equifax (including such information residing on Participant’s personal computer, e-mail
account, external data device, or mobile/smart phone) and any other property, record, document, or piece of equipment belonging
to Equifax. Participant will not retain and shall provide to Equifax any copies of Equifax’s property, including any copies
existing in electronic form. To the extent that Participant cannot return copies of Equifax property (such as files existing on
Participant’s home computer or personal e-mail account), then Participant shall provide a copy of the file to Equifax (including
all available Metadata) and then permanently delete the file (unless otherwise instructed in writing to preserve it by Equifax).
The obligations contained in this Section shall also apply to any property that belongs to a third party, including, but not limited
to, (a) any entity which is affiliated or related to the Company, or (b) the Company’s customers, licensors, or suppliers.
If Participant has any questions regarding his/her obligations to return and not to retain Company property, then Participant is
obligated to contact Participant’s direct supervisor (as of the end of Participant’s employment) to obtain guidance.



 




    	B-6



    	 



    

 


		12.	Post-Employment Disclosure. During
the Restricted Period, Participant shall provide a copy of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement to persons and/or entities for whom
Participant works or consults as an owner, partner, joint venturer, employee, or independent contractor. If, during the Restricted
Period, Participant agrees to work or consult for another person or entity as an owner, partner, joint venturer, employee or independent
contractor, then Participant shall provide Equifax before Participant’s first day of work or consultation with such person’s
or entity’s name, the nature of such person’s or entity’s business, Participant’s job title, and a general
description of the services Participant will provide.



 


		13.	Injunctive Relief. If Participant breaches this Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Participant
agrees that: 



 


		A.	Equifax would suffer
irreparable harm;



 


		B.	it would be difficult to determine damages, and money damages alone would be an inadequate
remedy for the injuries suffered by Equifax; and



 


		C.	if Equifax seeks injunctive relief to enforce this Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Participant
will waive and will not assert any defense that Equifax has an adequate remedy at law with respect to the breach. 



 


Nothing
contained in this Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall limit Equifax’s right to any other remedies at law or in equity.


 


		14.	Clawback. If Participant
breaches this Restrictive Covenant Agreement, then the Committee (as that term is defined in the Award Agreement)
may, notwithstanding any other provision in the Award Agreement
to the contrary, cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise restrict or limit Participant’s Award (as that term is defined
in the Award Agreement). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may also require Participant to pay to the Company any gain realized by Participant
from the Shares (as that term is defined in the Award Agreement)
awarded during the period beginning six months prior to the date on which Participant engaged or began engaging in activity in
violation of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement. Participant agrees that in the event that the Committee takes any action set
forth in this Paragraph: (a) the covenants set forth herein will remain in effect as Participant will have received consideration
above and beyond the Shares; and (b) Equifax will remain entitled to injunctive relief because it would not be made whole simply
through the potential actions set forth in this Paragraph. Nothing in this Paragraph limits the terms of Policy on Recovery of
Incentive Payments, which is attached as Appendix A to the Award Agreement. 



 




    	B-7



    	 



    

 


		15.	Independent Enforcement. Each of the covenants set forth herein shall be construed as covenants independent of: (a)
any agreements other than this Restrictive Covenant Agreement; or (b) any other covenants in this Restrictive Covenant Agreement,
and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Participant against Equifax, whether predicated on this Restrictive Covenant
Agreement or otherwise, regardless of who was at fault and regardless of any claims that either Participant or Equifax may have
against the other, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Equifax of the covenants set forth herein. Equifax shall
not be barred from enforcing the restrictive covenants set forth herein by reason of any breach of: (a) any other part of this
Restrictive Covenant Agreement; or (b) any other agreement with Participant.



 


		16.	Computer Authorization. Participant agrees that Participant is not authorized to use Equifax’s computer system
or any of Equifax’s IT hardware or software for any purpose in actual or contemplated competition with Equifax. This includes
but is not limited to: (a) transferring information relating to Equifax’s Business from Equifax’s system, hardware,
or software to an external device or account for the purpose of using, disclosing, or retaining such information after the end
of Participant’s employment; or (b) deleting information relating to Equifax’s Business from Equifax’s system,
hardware, or software in advance of the end of Participant’s employment with Equifax.



 


		17.	Compliance with Federal and State Law. Participant acknowledges that Equifax is obligated under federal and state credit
reporting and similar laws and regulations to hold in confidence and not disclose certain information regarding individuals, firms
or corporations which is obtained or held by Equifax, and that Equifax is required to adopt reasonable procedures for protecting
the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy and proper utilization of consumer credit information. In that regard, except as necessary
to perform Participant’s duties for Equifax, Participant will hold in strict confidence, and will not use, reproduce, disclose
or otherwise distribute any information which Equifax is required to hold confidential under applicable federal and state laws
and regulations, including the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.) and any state credit reporting
statutes.



 


		18.	Misuse of data. Participant agrees that any unauthorized disclosure of confidential codes, system access instructions
or file data, intentional alteration or destruction of data, or unauthorized access or updating of Participant’s own or any
other files can lead to immediate termination and federal prosecution under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Counterfeit Access
Device and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or prosecution under other state and federal laws. Should Participant ever be approached
by anyone to commit unauthorized or illegal acts or to disclose confidential materials or data, Participant will immediately report
this directly to Equifax management.



 


		19.	HIPAA. Participant acknowledges that if Participant’s
job duties and responsibilities are within the Equifax Information Technology Department or Human Resources, such duties may cause
the Participant to have incidental access to protected health information (“PHI”) of the Equifax health plans that
is maintained in electronic form. PHI is mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”)
to be kept secure and confidential and may not be accessed, used or disclosed, except as permitted by the Policies and Procedures
of the Equifax health plans. Participant acknowledges that he or she will not at any time access PHI, except and only to the extent
as may be expressly required in the course of his or her duties and responsibilities within the Equifax Information Technology
Department or Human Resources. Further, Participant acknowledges that he or she will not at any time – either during or after
his or her employment with Equifax – use or disclose PHI to any person or entity, either within Equifax or externally to
third parties, except and only to the extent as expressly permitted by the Privacy Official for the Equifax health plans. Participant
understands and acknowledges that unauthorized access, use or disclosure of PHI will result in disciplinary action, up to and including
termination of employment, and may also result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties under HIPAA and other applicable
law.



 




    	B-8



    	 



    

 


		20.	Waiver. Equifax’s failure to enforce any provision of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall not act
as a waiver of that or any other provision. Equifax’s waiver of any breach of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall not
act as a waiver of any other breach.



 


		21.	Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation relating to this Restrictive Covenant Agreement, the Company shall,
if it is the prevailing party, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation in addition to all other remedies
available at law or in equity.



 


		22.	Severability. The provisions of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement are severable. If any provision is determined to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision shall be modified so as to be enforceable to the
maximum extent permitted by law. If such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, then the unenforceable element of the
provision (or, failing that, the entire provision) shall be severed from this Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The remaining provisions
and any partially enforceable provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Equifax states specifically that Paragraphs 6
and 7 above shall not restrict the right of a lawyer to practice after termination. Rather, for any lawyer signing this Restrictive
Covenant Agreement, Paragraphs 6 and 7 shall not apply to Competitive Tasks involving the practice of law. 




 


		23.	Governing Law. This Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Georgia, without reference to Georgia’s choice of law rules.



 


		24.	No Strict Construction. If there is a dispute about the language of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement, the fact that
one Party drafted the Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall not be used in its interpretation.



 


		25.	Entire Agreement. This Restrictive Covenant Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning
the subject matter of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement. This Restrictive Covenant Agreement supersedes any prior communications,
agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Restrictive Covenant
Agreement, except for any handbooks or security policies issued by Equifax and applicable to Participant.



 


		26.	Amendments. Participant understands that at any time during his or her employment, Equifax may request that Participant
sign an amendment to this Restrictive Covenant Agreement that would modify the restrictive covenants herein based on changes to
Participant’s duties, changes in the area for which Participant has responsibility, changes in Equifax’s Business,
or changes in the law regarding restrictive covenants. This Restrictive Covenant Agreement may not otherwise be amended or modified
except in writing signed by both Parties.



 




    	B-9



    	 



    

 


		27.	Successors and Assigns. This Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall be assignable to, and shall inure to the benefit of,
Equifax’s successors and assigns, including, without limitation, successors through merger, name change, consolidation, or
sale of a majority of Equifax’s stock or assets, and shall be binding upon Participant. Participant shall not have the right
to assign his or her rights or obligations under this Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The covenants contained in this Restrictive
Covenant Agreement shall survive cessation of Participant’s employment with the Company, regardless of who causes the cessation
or the reason for the cessation.



 


		28.	Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue. Participant agrees that any claim arising out of or relating to this Restrictive Covenant
Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Georgia.
Participant consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and thereby waives: (a) any objection to jurisdiction or venue;
or (b) any defense claiming lack of jurisdiction or improper venue, in any action brought in such courts.



 


		29.	Execution. This Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall be executed by Participant’s acceptance of the preceding
Award Agreement, to which this Restrictive Covenant Agreement is appended.



 


Participant acknowledges that he or she has
carefully read this Restrictive Covenant Agreement, knows and understands its terms and conditions, and has had the opportunity
to ask the Company any questions Participant may have had prior to accepting this Restrictive Covenant Agreement. Participant also
acknowledges that he or she has had the opportunity to consult an attorney of Participant’s choice (at Participant’s
expense) to review this Restrictive Covenant Agreement before accepting it.
