Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, directors and officers of the Company are entitled to mandatory indemnification from the Company against certain liabilities (which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933) and expenses (i) to the extent such officers or directors are successful in the defense of a proceeding; and (ii) in proceedings in which the director or officer is not successful in defense thereof, unless it is determined that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his or her duties to the Company and such breach or failure constituted: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the Company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer had a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law unless the director or officer had a reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (d) willful misconduct. Additionally, under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, directors of the Company are not subject to personal liability to the Company, its shareholders or any person asserting rights on behalf thereof, for certain breaches or failures to perform any duty resulting solely from their status as directors, except in circumstances paralleling those outlined in (a) through (d) above.

The Company’s By-laws provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses of officers and directors to the fullest extent provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.

The indemnification provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the Company’s By-laws is not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer of the Company may be entitled.

The Company maintains an insurance policy which indemnifies its officers and directors against certain liabilities.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and

 

3


(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:

   Fiserv, Inc.; Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to Fiserv, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Fiserv”), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the proposed issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”), pursuant to the 401(k) Savings Plan of Fiserv, Inc. and Its Participating Subsidiaries (the “Plan”), together with related Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the “Rights”). The terms of the Rights are as set forth in that certain Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of February 23, 1998, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”).

In connection with my representation, I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and By-Laws, as amended and restated, of Fiserv, the Rights Agreement, and the Plan.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. It is presently contemplated that the shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the Plan will either be purchased in the open market or purchased directly from the Company. To the extent that the shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the Plan constitute shares newly issued by and purchased from the Company, such shares of Common Stock, when issued by Fiserv pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

2. The Rights, when issued pursuant to the terms of Fiserv’s Shareholder Rights Agreement, will be validly issued.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus comprising a part of the Registration Statement. By giving the foregoing consent, I do not admit that I am an “expert” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Act or come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Charles W. Sprague
