FISERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.  Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and notes of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”). Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

 

2.  Acquisitions

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company completed two acquisitions for total cash consideration of $46.0 million. In addition to cash consideration, the Company issued, in conjunction with one of the acquisitions, approximately 310,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $10.9 million. The operations of these acquisitions are included in the consolidated results of operations from the dates of acquisition. Pro forma information for the acquisitions is not presented as the impact was not material.

 

In the first quarter of 2003, as a result of previously acquired entities achieving their operating income targets, the Company paid additional cash consideration of $33.1 million and issued approximately 678,000 shares of its common stock valued at $20.6 million. The additional consideration was treated as additional purchase price.

 

3.  Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the intrinsic value provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, the Company did not record any compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements for its stock-based compensation plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share had compensation expense been recognized consistent with the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Stock options are typically granted in the first quarter of the year and generally vest 20% on the date of grant. As a result, the expense that would be recognized under SFAS No. 123 during the first quarter is significantly higher than the expense for the remaining quarters, representing approximately 35–40% of the full year’s expense.

4.  Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, foreign currency translation and fair market value adjustments on cash flow hedges. Comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 was $64.6 million and $66.1 million, respectively.

5.  Subsequent Events

 

On April 3, 2003, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 300.0 million to 450.0 million.

 

On April 11, 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4% senior notes due in 2008. The Company expects to use the net proceeds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes including acquisitions. In addition, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage its total ratio of fixed to floating rate long-term debt over the period of these notes.

 

ITEM 2.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company is a leading independent provider of financial data processing systems and related information management services and products to financial institutions and other financial intermediaries. The Company’s operations have been classified into three business segments: Financial institution outsourcing, systems and services (“FIS”); Securities processing and trust services; and All other and corporate. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the relative percentage which certain items in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income bear to the Company’s processing and services revenues. This table and the following discussion exclude the revenues and expenses associated with customer reimbursements as management believes that it is not appropriate to include the customer reimbursements in analyzing the current performance of the Company. Customer reimbursements primarily consist of pass through expenses such as postage and data communication costs. Management excludes the customer reimbursements in analyzing the business as these balances offset in revenues and expenses with no impact on operating income and these amounts are not an indicator of current or future business trends.

Processing and Services Revenues

 

Total processing and services revenues increased $64.0 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002. Internal revenue growth of approximately 2% was derived from sales to new clients, cross-sales to existing clients, increases in transaction volumes from existing clients and price increases. The remaining 9% in revenue growth came from acquired businesses. In addition, the internal revenue growth percentage was negatively impacted by 2% due to continued weakness in the international banking markets and prolonged weakness in the U.S. retail financial markets impacting the Securities processing and trust services segment. During the first quarter of 2003, the Securities processing and trust services segment recognized an increase in revenues of $15.8 million from the sale of available-for-sale investment securities and incurred a decrease in revenues of $17.0 million that resulted from an apparently fraudulent trading scheme at one of its broker-dealer clients. The Company has insurance that may cover part or all of this loss; however, no recovery amount is being recorded pending resolution of a claim. The Company also intends to pursue all recovery methods from the broker-dealer and its principals. The Company considers this loss to be highly unusual and has not previously experienced any losses of this nature.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Total cost of revenues increased $48.9 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002. As a percent of processing and services revenues, cost of revenues were 80% in 2003 and 2002. The make up of cost of revenues each quarter has been affected by business acquisitions and changes in the mix of the Company’s business. EDS Corporation’s Consumer Network Services acquisition was completed in December 2002 and has higher data processing costs and equipment rentals and lower salary costs and other expenses. This has resulted in an increase in data processing costs and equipment rentals and a decrease in salary costs and other expenses as a percentage of revenues in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income increased from $109.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $124.6 million in the current first quarter. Operating income in the FIS segment increased $17.8 million, or 17%, in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002. The increase in operating income was due to a number of factors, including revenue growth across the FIS segment’s business lines, acquisitions and operational efficiencies.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The effective income tax rate was 39% in 2003 and 2002.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the first quarter increased $9.1 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002. Net income per share-diluted for the first quarter was $0.38 in 2003 compared to $0.33 in 2002.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash flow from operations was $142.1 million in the first quarter of 2003, which included positive cash flow from changes in securities processing receivables and payables of $26.1 million. As the changes in securities processing receivables and payables, retirement account deposits, investments and short-term borrowings generally offset, management believes it is more meaningful to analyze changes in operating cash flows before the change in securities processing receivables and payables. Cash flow from operations before securities processing receivables and payables increased 10% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002, reaching $116.0 million. The Company has historically used a significant portion of its cash flow from operations for acquisitions and capital expenditures with any remainder used to reduce long-term debt. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $433.9 million of long-term debt, while shareholders’ equity exceeded $1.9 billion. Long-term debt includes $339.0 million borrowed under the Company’s credit and commercial paper facility of which $89.0 million is payable under a 364-day agreement in 2003 and $250.0 million is payable in 2004 or earlier at the Company’s option. The Company expects to renew its 364-day agreement prior to expiration in the second quarter of 2003. At March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents were $182.2 million, a decrease of $45.1 million from December 31, 2002, after spending $79.1 million on acquired businesses and $23.9 million on capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2003. In addition, gross software development costs for external customers capitalized in the first quarter of 2003 were $11.6 million, offset by associated amortization of $9.8 million.

 

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations together with other available sources of funds will be adequate to meet its operating requirements, debt repayments, contingent payments in connection with business acquisitions and ordinary capital spending needs. On April 11, 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4% senior notes due in 2008. The Company expects to use the net proceeds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes including acquisitions. The notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of such evaluation to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company has initiated legal action against E*TRADE Securities, Inc. (“E*TRADE”) as the result of E*TRADE refusing to accept delivery of a bond (with a carrying value of $27.0 million as of March 31, 2003) in violation of the terms of a contract between E*TRADE and a subsidiary of the Company. The Company intends to vigorously enforce its rights under the terms of its agreement with E*TRADE and expects to prevail and recover the carrying value of the bond.

On March 25, 2003, the Company issued 678,000 shares of its common stock valued at $20.6 million to the former shareholders of an acquired company as contingent consideration. The Company relied on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 based upon the number and sophistication of recipients of the shares, their positions and the aggregate value of the transactions.

EX-10 4 dex10.htm FISERV, INC. STOCK OPTION PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF FEBRUARY 11, 2003 Fiserv, Inc. Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated as of February 11, 2003

Exhibit 10

FISERV, INC.

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

(as amended and restated as of February 11, 2003)

 

Section 1.  Purpose.  The purpose of the Fiserv, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the interest of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries (the Company and each such Subsidiary being herein each referred to as a “Fiserv Group Company”) by (a) providing an incentive to employees, and to directors who are not employees, of the Fiserv Group Companies which will attract, retain and motivate persons who are able to make important contributions to the Company’s growth, profitability and long-term success, and (b) furthering the identity of interests of the Optionees with those of the Company’s shareholders through stock ownership opportunities. Options to be issued under the Plan may be “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or “non-qualified stock options” (“NQSOs”), which do not qualify as “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”), but the Company makes no representation or warranty as to the qualification of any Option as an incentive stock option under the Code.

 

Section 2.  Definitions.  For purposes of this Plan, the following terms used herein shall have the following meanings, unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context.

 

2.1    “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act.

 

2.2    “Beneficial Owner” shall mean a Person who owns any securities and meets the criteria in any one of the following paragraphs:

 

(i) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or to beneficially own, (A) securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase, or (B) securities issuable upon exercise of Rights issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of February 24, 1998, between the Company and Equiserve Limited Partnership, as amended from time to time (or any successor to such Rights Agreement), at any time before the issuance of such securities;

 

(ii) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to vote or dispose of or has “beneficial ownership” of (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or to beneficially own, any security under this clause (ii) as a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such security if the agreement, arrangement or

 

1


 

understanding: (A) arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given to such Person in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and regulations under the Act and (B) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D under the Act (or any comparable or successor report); or

 

(iii)  which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person with which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has had any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except pursuant to a revocable proxy as described in clause (ii) above) or disposing of any voting securities of the Company.

 

2.3    “Board of Directors” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

2.4    “Change in Control of the Company” shall be deemed to have occurred if an event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

 

(i)  any Person (other than (A) a Fiserv Group Company, (B) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of a Fiserv Group Company, (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, (D) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock in the Company (“Excluded Persons”) or (E) unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee, a Person which has acquired Common Stock in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes only and not with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect (“Investment Intent”), as demonstrated by the filing by such Person of a statement on Schedule 13G (including amendments thereto) pursuant to Regulation 13D under the Exchange Act, as long as such Person continues to hold such Common Stock with an Investment Intent) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates pursuant to express authorization by the Board that refers to this exception) representing 20% or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

 

(ii)  the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors of the Company then serving: (A) individuals who, on February 11, 2003 constituted the Board and (B) any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on February 11, 2003, or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved (collectively the “Continuing Directors”); provided, however, that individuals who are appointed to the Board pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of an agreement relating to a merger, consolidation, or

(iii)  the shareholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation or share exchange of the Company with any other corporation or approve the issuance of voting securities of the Company in connection with a merger, consolidation or share exchange of the Company (or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company) pursuant to applicable stock exchange requirements, other than (A) a merger, consolidation or share exchange which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or share exchange continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or share exchange, or (B) a merger, consolidation or share exchange effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates after February 11, 2003, pursuant to express authorization by the Board that refers to this exception) representing 20% or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

 

(iv)  the shareholders of the Company approve of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (in one transaction or a series of related transactions within any period of 24 consecutive months), other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity at least 75% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by persons in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Change in Control of the Company” shall be deemed to have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to own, directly or indirectly, in the same proportions as their ownership in the Company, an entity that owns all or substantially all of the assets or voting securities of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

6.1    The option price shall be fixed by the Committee, provided, however, that in the case of an ISO, the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted, and provided, further, however, that if at the time an ISO is granted, the Optionee owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent, the option price of such ISO shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to such ISO on the date of grant. In addition, with respect to at least 95% of the number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted under this Plan as of February 14, 2000, the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.

 

6.2    Options shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distributions, and during an Optionee’s lifetime, an option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee’s legal guardian.

 

6.3    The Committee shall fix the term of all Options granted pursuant to the Plan (including the date on which such Option shall expire and the conditions under which it terminates earlier), provided, however, that the term of an ISO may not exceed ten years from the date such Option is granted, and provided, further, however, that if at the time an ISO is granted, the Optionee owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent, the

 

 

6


term of such ISO may not exceed five years from the date of grant. Each Option shall be exercisable in such amount or amounts, under such conditions, and at such times or intervals or in such installments as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish a vesting provision for any Option relating to the time or the circumstances when the Option may be exercised by the Optionee.

 

6.4    Payment of the option price of an Option may be made in cash, with shares of Common Stock held by the Optionee for more than six months prior to payment or otherwise in accordance with law as the Committee may determine from time to time. In the event that any Fiserv Group Company is required to withhold any Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in respect of any income realized by the Optionee in respect of an Option granted hereunder, in respect of any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option or in respect of the disposition of an Option or any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Company may deduct (or require the Fiserv Group Company to deduct) from any payments of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee cash or with the consent of the Committee (in the stock option contract or otherwise) shares of the Company’s Common Stock the aggregate amount of such Federal, state or local taxes and other amounts required to be so withheld. Alternatively, the Company may require such Optionee to pay to the Company in cash, promptly on demand, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment to the Company of, the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts.

 

6.5    The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock for which an eligible employee may be granted ISOs under the Plan or any other plan of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent which are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. Such limitation shall be applied by taking ISOs into account in the order in which they were granted. Any Option (or portion thereof) granted in excess of such amount shall be treated as an NQSO.

 

6.6    In no case may a fraction of a share be exercised or acquired pursuant to the Plan.

 

6.7    Without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, Options issued under this Plan will not be repriced, replaced or regranted through cancellation or by lowering the option price of a previously granted Option.

 

Section 7.    Effect of Changes in Capitalization or Change of Control.

 

7.1    Changes in Stock. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in those shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the date an Option is granted, a proportionate and appropriate adjustment will be made by the Company in the number and kind of shares subject to the Option, so that the proportionate interest of the Optionee immediately following that, to the extent

 

 

7


 

practicable, will be the same as immediately prior to that event. Any such adjustment in the Option will not change the total exercisable price with respect to shares subject to the unexercisable portion of the Option but will include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the exercise price per share. In the event of any distribution to the Company’s shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company, in the manner the Board of Directors or the Committee deems appropriate, will adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to the Option and/or (ii) the exercise price of the Option to reflect that distribution.

 

7.2    Reorganization in Which the Company is the Surviving Company.  Subject to Subsection 7.3, if the Company is the surviving Company in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other companies or other entities, each Option will pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of stock subject to the Option would have been entitled immediately following that reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the exercise price per share so that the aggregate exercise price after that event will be the same as the aggregate exercise price of the shares remaining subject to the Option immediately before that reorganization, merger, or consolidation.

 

7.3    Change of Control.  If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, the Board of Directors may (i) make provisions for the continuation of each Option, (ii) reach an agreement with the acquiring or surviving entity that the acquiring or surviving entity will assume the obligation of the Company under each Option, (iii) reach an agreement with the acquiring or surviving entity that the acquiring or surviving entity will convert each Option into an option of at least equal value, determined as of the date of the transaction, to purchase stock of the acquiring or surviving entity, (iv) terminate all Options outstanding under the Plan effective at the date of the applicable transaction and, within 60 days after the date of the applicable transaction, make a cash payment to each Optionee equal to the difference between the exercise price of the Optionee’s Option and the fair market value, as of the date of the applicable transaction, of the shares subject to the Option (all of which shall be vested as of the date of the applicable transaction) or (v) vest all shares subject to the Options and allow them to be immediately exercisable at least 30 days immediately prior to the date of the applicable transaction. The Board of Directors must determine that any such modification in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above does not have a substantial adverse economic impact on the Optionee, as determined at the time of the transaction.

 

7.4    Adjustments.  Adjustments required by this Section relating to the Common Stock will be made by the Board of Directors, whose determination in that respect will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share.

Section 8.  Effect of the Plan on Employment Relationship.  Neither this Plan nor any Option granted hereunder shall be construed as conferring upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of any Fiserv Group Company or limit in any respect any right of any Fiserv Group Company to terminate such Optionee’s employment at any time without liability, or to continue as a Non-Employee Director.

 

Section 9.  Amendment of the Plan.  The Board of Directors may amend or restate the Plan from time to time as it deems desirable, provided, however, that, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at any meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin, the Board of Directors may not (a) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted under this Plan (other than increases due to adjustment in accordance with Section 7 hereof), (b) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, (c) change the eligibility requirements to receive Options hereunder or (d) make any change for which applicable law requires shareholder approval.

 

Section 10.  Termination of the Plan.  The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time. No Option may be granted hereunder after termination of the Plan. No ISO may be granted under the Plan more than ten years after the date on which the Plan was adopted. The termination or amendment of the Plan shall not alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Optionee.

 

Section 11.  Effective Date of the Plan.  This Plan (and as amended or restated from time to time) will become effective on the date on which it is approved by the Board of Directors. This Plan if amended or restated in any material respect is subject to approval by the holders of the majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at the next meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin. No Option granted hereunder may be exercised prior to such approval, provided, however, that the date of grant of any Option shall be determined as if the Plan had not been subject to such approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any material amendment or restatement is not approved by a vote of shareholders within 12 months after it is adopted by the Board of Directors, the amendment or restatement, as the case may be, shall be null and void, the Plan as in effect prior to such amendment or restatement, as the case may be, shall continue in full force and effect and any Options granted pursuant to such amendment or restatement, as the case may be, shall terminate.

 

Section 12.  Governing Law.  This Plan, the Options and all related matters shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to choice of law provisions. Neither the Plan nor any agreement pursuant to the Plan shall be construed or interpreted with any presumption against any Fiserv Group Company by reason of the Fiserv Group Company having drafted or adopted the Plan or agreement. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision in the Plan or in any agreement pursuant to the Plan shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision, all of which shall be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Board of Directors approved: February 11, 2003
