4 ARTICLE II THE MERGER SECTION 2.1 The Merger Sub. Prior to the Effective Time, FNF shall elect the boards of directors and officers of the Merger Sub and cause the Merger Sub to take such other actions as are necessary or required for the purposes of effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SECTION 2.2 The Merger. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the GCL, ANFI shall be merged with and into Merger Sub at the Effective Time (the "Merger"). At the Effective Time, (i) the separate corporate existence of ANFI shall cease, and (ii) Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF (the "Surviving Corporation"). (b) Not later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereby, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to those conditions), ANFI and the Merger Sub will file an agreement of merger (the "Agreement of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of California and make all other filings or recordings required by the GCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Agreement of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of California in accordance with the GCL or at such later time which the parties hereto shall have agreed upon and designated in such Agreement of Merger as the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"). (c) From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the GCL. (d) The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, 660 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California (or such other place as agreed by the parties) at 9:00 a.m. California time on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereby, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to those conditions), unless the parties hereto agree to another date or time. SECTION 2.3 Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. The articles of incorporation of the Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law (as so amended, the "Surviving Corporation Certificate"). The by-laws of the Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law (as so amended, the "Surviving Corporation By-laws"). SECTION 2.4 Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation. Prior to the Effective Time, FNF shall cause the Merger Sub to adopt resolutions to constitute the Board of Directors of the Merger Sub and committees thereof from and after the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the members of the Board of Directors, the committees of the Board of Directors and the composition of such committees shall be as set forth on or designated in accordance with the Surviving Corporation Certificate, the Surviving Corporation By-laws and such resolutions until the earlier of the resignation or removal of any individual set forth on or designated in accordance with the Surviving Corporation Certificate, the Surviving Corporation By-laws and such resolutions or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, or until as otherwise provided in the Surviving Corporation Certificate, the Surviving Corporation By-laws and such resolutions. 5 ARTICLE III CONVERSION OF SECURITIES AND RELATED MATTERS SECTION 3.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger: (a) Each ANFI Common Share held by ANFI as treasury stock or owned by FNF or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, and no payment shall be made in respect thereof. (b) Subject to Section 3.5 hereof, each Merger Share shall be cancelled and, at the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive consideration (the "Merger Consideration") consisting of 0.4540 FNF Common Share and any payment for fractional shares as provided in Section 3.2 hereof. SECTION 3.2 Fractional Shares; Adjustments. (a) No certificate or scrip representing fractional FNF Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of ANFI Common Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of FNF. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of ANFI Common Shares exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a FNF Common Share (after taking into account all ANFI Common Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a FNF Common Share multiplied by the FNF Common Share Closing Price, which the Board of Directors of FNF has determined to be the fair value of such shares. (b) If at any time during the period between December 13, 2002 and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of FNF or ANFI, as applicable, or securities convertible or exchangeable into capital stock of FNF or ANFI, as applicable, shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock or cash dividend or distribution thereon (other than regular quarterly cash dividends) or a record date with respect to any of the foregoing shall occur during such period, the number of FNF Common Shares constituting the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of the FNF Common Shares and the ANFI Common Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to the consummation of such event. By way of example, if FNF declares a ten percent (10%) stock dividend, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to equal 0.4994 FNF Common Shares for each Merger Share (rather than 0.4540 FNF Common Shares for each Merger Share) together with any payment of cash for fractional shares. SECTION 3.3 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. Promptly after the date hereof, FNF shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to ANFI as an exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the benefit of holders of ANFI Common Shares. At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, FNF shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for exchange in accordance with this Section, through the Exchange Agent, (i) certificates evidencing the total number of FNF Common Shares to be issued in the Merger, and (ii) cash in the amount necessary to pay amounts due pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.5 (such certificates for FNF Common Shares and such cash being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions in accordance with this Article III, deliver the FNF Common Shares and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to this Article III out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Section 3.3(e), Section 3.3(f) or Section 3.3(g) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. (b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, FNF shall send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of ANFI Common Shares that were converted into the right to receive FNF Common Shares and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant this Article III, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in customary form and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of the ANFI Common Shares to the Exchange Agent), for use in the exchange contemplated by this Section. Upon surrender of a certificate representing 6 ANFI Common Shares to the Exchange Agent (a "Certificate"), together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole FNF Common Shares and cash which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III (after giving effect to any required withholding tax). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, if any, as provided in this Article III. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by FNF, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as FNF may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the proper amount of the Merger Consideration, together with any unpaid dividends and distributions on any such FNF Common Shares, as contemplated by this Article III. (c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by FNF in respect of the FNF Common Shares, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all FNF Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to FNF Common Shares constituting part of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder, until such Certificate is surrendered as provided in this Section. Following such surrender, there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the FNF Common Shares have been registered (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time previously paid or payable on the date of such surrender with respect to such whole FNF Common Shares, less the amount of any withholding taxes that may be required thereon, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date subsequent to surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole FNF Common Shares, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon. (d) No Further Ownership Rights in ANFI Common Shares. As of the Effective Time, all ANFI Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate representing any such ANFI Common Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificate, the Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of ANFI shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on ANFI's stock transfer books of ANFI Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates (other than the Certificate for the ANFI Common Stock described in Section 3.1(c)) are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section. (e) Return of Merger Consideration. Upon demand by FNF, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to FNF any portion of the Merger Consideration deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section that remains undistributed to holders of ANFI Common Shares one year after the Effective Time. Holders of Certificates who have not complied with this Section prior to such demand shall thereafter look only to FNF for payment of any claim to the Merger Consideration and dividends or distributions, if any, in respect thereof. (f) No Liability. Neither FNF nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any ANFI Common Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 7 (g) Withholding Rights. FNF shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration (and any dividends or distributions thereon) otherwise payable hereunder to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign income tax law. To the extent that FNF so withholds those amounts, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of ANFI Common Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by FNF. SECTION 3.4 ANFI Stock Options and Warrants. (a) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase ANFI Common Shares (each, a "ANFI Option") outstanding under any stock option or compensation plan or arrangement of ANFI, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by FNF and shall retain its respective right to convert into a FNF Option, and shall cease to represent a right to acquire ANFI Common Shares and shall be automatically converted into an option (each, a "FNF Option") to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such ANFI Option, that number of FNF Common Shares determined by multiplying the number of ANFI Common Shares subject to such ANFI Option by 0.4540, subject to any adjustment as required in Section 3.2(b) of this Agreement, with any fractional shares of FNF Common Shares resulting from such calculation being rounded down to the nearest whole share, at a price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the aggregate exercise price for the ANFI Common Shares covered by such ANFI Option divided by (y) the number of full FNF Common Shares covered by such FNF Option in accordance with the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, in no event shall FNF be required to assume ANFI Options held by each ANFI Senior Executive that would be exercisable, in the aggregate for each such ANFI Senior Executive, into more than 50,000 shares of FNF Common Shares upon the conversion set forth in this Section 3.4 (the "Senior Executive Cap"). FNF and ANFI shall cooperate in good faith with one another to determine which ANFI Options shall be assumed within the Senior Executive Cap (including without limitation based on compliance with the terms of the plans under which such options are granted and to minimize acceleration of such options). (b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase ANFI Common Shares (each, an "ANFI Warrant"), whether or not vested or exercisable, shall cease to represent a right to acquire ANFI Common Shares and shall be converted into a warrant (each, a "FNF Warrant") to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such ANFI Warrant, that number of FNF Common Shares determined by multiplying the number of ANFI Common Shares subject to such ANFI Warrant by the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares of FNF Common Shares resulting from such calculation being rounded down to the nearest whole share, at a price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the aggregate exercise price for the ANFI Common Shares covered by such ANFI Warrant divided by (y) the number of full FNF Common Shares covered by such FNF Warrant in accordance with the foregoing. (c) [intentionally left blank] (d) At the Effective Time all ANFI employees will be eligible to become participants in the FNF ESPP with credit for time of service with ANFI and credit for time of participation in the ANFI Employee Stock Purchase Plan adopted September 29, 1999 by the Board of Directors of ANFI (the "ANFI ESPP") for all purposes including eligibility to participate in the FNF ESPP and to receive matching contributions pursuant to the FNF ESPP. At the Effective Time, all ANFI employees who are then participants in the ANFI ESPP shall automatically become participants in the FNF ESPP, and the ANFI ESPP will be terminated in accordance with its provisions. (e) Prior to the Effective Time, FNF and ANFI shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of ANFI's stock option plans and other compensation plans or arrangements of FNF and/or ANFI) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by Sections 3.4(a) through (d). (f) At or prior to the Effective Time, FNF shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of FNF Common Shares for delivery upon exercise of the FNF Options. At the Effective Time, FNF shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), with respect to 8 the FNF Common Shares subject to such FNF Options and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement(s), maintain the current status of the prospectus(es) contained therein and comply with all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws for so long as such FNF Options remain outstanding. SECTION 3.5 Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, although the parties do not believe that any of the ANFI Common Shares qualify as "dissenting shares" under Chapter 13 of the GCL (relating to dissenters' rights), if Chapter 13 of the GCL is for some reason applicable, any ANFI Common Shares that are dissenting shares as defined in Chapter 13 of the GCL (the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Shareholders of the Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive the amounts determined in accordance with the provisions of the GCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder effectively withdraws the demand for appraisal or fails to preserve such right to appraisal, in either case pursuant to the GCL, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration as to such shares. (b) Any payments relating to Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation, and ANFI shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle with, the holders of Dissenting Shares without the prior consent of FNF. ANFI shall give FNF prompt notice of any demands received by ANFI for the payment of fair value for Dissenting Shares, and FNF shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to Dissenting Shares.
