Vesting and Restrictions
This grant is subject to both time and performance-based vesting restrictions described below (collectively, the “Period of Restriction”).
Performance Restriction
In order for the Restricted Stock to vest, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) must determine that the Company has achieved annualized expense savings related to the merger of the Company with Metavante Technologies, Inc. during the period between October 1, 2009 and December 15, 2011 in an amount equal to $280,000,000 (“Synergy Cost Savings”). Synergy Cost Savings is measured from the baseline synergy cost savings amount of $98,000,000 to the target synergy cost savings amount of $280,000,000 (the baseline will be included in the final target calculation). The baseline synergy cost savings amount is for the period prior to October 1, 2009 (management has the figure documented and reviewed by PriceWaterhouse). The Committee will evaluate whether the Synergy Cost Savings have been achieved as of the following dates (“Calculation Dates”):
     
March 30, 2010

June 30, 2010
