Application-U.S.-Rev. 0309
 A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of
information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer reporting
agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell information about
check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records). Here is a summary of your major
rights under the FCRA. For more information, including information about additional rights, go to
www.ftc.gov/credit or write to: Consumer Response Center, Room 130-A, Federal Trade
Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580.

• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses
a credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance,
or employment - or to take another adverse action against you - must tell you, and must give
you the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information.

• You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the
information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency (your “file disclosure”). You
will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security number.
In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:

• a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your
credit report;
• you are the victim of identify theft and place a fraud alert in your file;
• your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud;
• you are on public assistance;
• you are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.

In addition, by September 2005 all consumers will be entitled to one free disclosure every 12
months upon request from each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty
consumer reporting agencies. See www.ftc.gov/credit for additional information.

• You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of your
credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score
from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential real
property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will receive
credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.

• You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify
information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer reporting
agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See www.ftc.gov/credit for
an explanation of dispute procedures.

• Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or

unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed
or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to
report information it has verified as accurate.

• Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most
cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than
seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old.

• Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about
you only to people with a valid need -- usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer,
SanDisk, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.

• You must give your consent for reports to be provided to SanDisk. A consumer reporting
agency may not give out information about you to your SanDisk, or a potential SanDisk, without
Application-U.S.-Rev. 0309
 your written consent given to the SanDisk. Written consent generally is not required in the
trucking industry. For more information, go to www.ftc.gov/credit.

• You may limit “prescreened” offers of credit and insurance you get based on information
in your credit report. Unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance must include a
toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the
lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 888-5-
OPT-OUT (888-567-8688) or www.optoutprescreen.com.

• You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a
user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates
the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.

• Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights. For more
information, visit www.ftc.gov/credit.

States may enforce the FCRA and many states have their own consumer reporting laws. In
some cases, you may have other rights under state law. For more information, contact your
state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General.

 NOTICE REGARDING BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA LAW

SanDisk (the “Company”) intends to obtain information about you from an investigative consumer
reporting agency and/or a consumer credit reporting agency for employment purposes. Thus, you can
expect to be the subject of “investigative consumer reports” and “consumer credit reports” obtained for
employment purposes. Such reports may include information about your character, general reputation,
personal characteristics and mode of living. With respect to any investigative consumer report from an
investigative consumer reporting agency (“ICRA”), the Company may investigate the information
contained in your employment application and other background information about you, including but
not limited to obtaining a criminal record report, verifying references, work history, your social security
number, your educational achievements, licensure, and certifications, your driving record, and other
information about you, and interviewing people who are knowledgeable about you. The results of this
report may be used as a factor in making employment decisions. The source of any investigative
consumer report (as that term is defined under California law) will be [consumer reporting agency
name, address, and telephone number - including toll-free number]. The source of any credit report will
be [consumer reporting agency name, address, and telephone number - including toll-free number].

The Company agrees to provide you with a copy of an investigative consumer report when required to
do so under California law.

Under California Civil Code section 1786.22, you are entitled to find out from an ICRA what is in the
ICRA’s file on you with proper identification, as follows:

• In person, by visual inspection of your file during normal business hours and on reasonable
notice. You also may request a copy of the information in person. The ICRA may not charge
you more than the actual copying costs for providing you with a copy of your file.

• A summary of all information contained in the ICRA’s file on you that is required to be provided
by the California Civil Code will be provided to you via telephone, if you have made a written
request, with proper identification, for telephone disclosure, and the toll charge, if any, for the
telephone call is prepaid by or charged directly to you.

• By requesting a copy be sent to a specified addressee by certified mail. ICRAs complying with
requests for certified mailings shall not be liable for disclosures to third parties caused by
mishandling of mail after such mailings leave the ICRAs.

“Proper Identification” includes documents such as a valid driver’s license, social security account
number, military identification card, and credit cards. Only if you cannot identify yourself with such
information may the ICRA require additional information concerning your employment and personal or
family history in order to verify your identity.

The ICRA will provide trained personnel to explain any information furnished to you and will provide a
written explanation of any coded information contained in files maintained on you. This written
explanation will be provided whenever a file is provided to you for visual inspection.

You may be accompanied by one other person of your choosing, who must furnish reasonable
identification. An ICRA may require you to furnish a written statement granting permission to the ICRA
to discuss your file in such person’s presence.
