The Unaudited Financial Statements, together with the Annual Combined Financial Statements are referred to as the "Financial Statements".

Since June 30, 2004, there has not been any change of the Company's accounting principles, methods, or policies except as required by GAAP or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The results and accounts of the entities listed on disclosure Schedule 3.10 are included in the Financial Statements, but have been excluded from the final formation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and are therefore, not subject to the terms of this Transaction. 3.11 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities, Indebtedness.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in Default under, or has received any notice of any claim of Default in respect of, any such Permits, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Parent's Knowledge, all such Permits are renewable by their respective terms in the ordinary 17 course of business without the need to comply with any special qualification procedures or to pay any amounts other than routine filing fees. 3.16 Contracts.

(a) Schedule 3.22(a) sets forth a true and complete list of all "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), and any employee benefit plans, agreements, arrangements, programs or payroll practices (including, without limitation, severance pay, vacation pay, company awards, salary continuation for disability, sick leave, retirement, deferred compensation, equity-based, bonus or other incentive compensation, stock purchase arrangements or policies, hospitalization, medical insurance, life insurance, and scholarship programs) maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contributes or is obligated to contribute thereunder in respect of any current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could otherwise have any liability (contingent or otherwise), including any liability that results from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries being considered a single employer or under common control with any entity (whether incorporated or not) under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (an "ERISA Affiliate") (in each case, any of the foregoing, whether domestic or foreign, "Employee Benefit Plans"). The Amended Company Disclosure Letter identifies, in separate categories, Employee 23 Benefit Plans that are (i) subject to Sections 4063 and 4064 of ERISA ("Multiple Employer Plans"), (ii) multiemployer plans (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) ("Multiemployer Plans"), or (iii) "benefit plans" within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code providing continuing benefits after the termination of employment (other than as required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or comparable state or local Laws and at the former employee's or his or her beneficiary's sole expense). (b) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Employee Benefit Plans intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code ("Qualified Plans") so qualify and the trusts maintained thereto are exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501 of the Code, and, to Parent's Knowledge, nothing has occurred in respect of the operation of any such plan that could cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any liability, penalty, or tax under ERISA or the Code.

(d) The benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA), of each of the Employee Benefit Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA using the actuarial assumptions that would be used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") in the event it terminated each such plan do not exceed the fair market value of the assets of each such plan. The liabilities of each Employee Benefit Plan that has been terminated or otherwise wound up, have been fully discharged in full compliance with applicable Law. (e) During the 12-month period ending on the date of the Initial Agreement, no "reportable event" (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA and the regulations thereunder) for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived or extended has occurred with respect to any of the Employee Benefit Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA, nor has any event requiring notice to be provided under Section 4041(c)(3)(C) or 4063(a) of ERISA. (f) There has been no violation of ERISA in respect of the filing of applicable returns, reports, documents, and notices regarding any of the Employee Benefit Plans with the Secretary of Labor or the Secretary of the Treasury or the furnishing of such notices or documents to the participants or beneficiaries of the Employee Benefit Plans that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (g) True and complete copies of the following documents, in respect of each of the Employee Benefit Plans that, after the Closing, the Company or any if its 24 Subsidiaries will maintain, contribute to, or have any liability with respect to (as applicable), have been delivered to THL and TPG (i) any plans and related trust documents, and all amendments thereto, (ii) the most recent Forms 5500 for the past three years and schedules thereto, (iii) the most recent financial statements and actuarial valuations for the past three years, (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter, (v) the most recent summary plan descriptions (including letters or other documents updating such descriptions), and (vi) written descriptions of all material non-written agreements relating to such Employee Benefit Plans. (h) There is no pending claim, action, suit, or proceeding that has been asserted or instituted against any Employee Benefit Plan , the assets of any such plans, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the plan administrator or any fiduciary of the Employee Benefit Plans in respect of the operation of such plans (other than routine, uncontested benefit claims) and no Employee Benefit Plan is under audit or is the subject of any audit or investigation by any Governmental Entity, and there are no facts or circumstances that could form the basis for any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or audit, in each case, except to the extent it would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (i) Each of the Employee Benefit Plans has been maintained, in all material respects, in accordance with its terms and all provisions of applicable Law. All amendments and actions required to bring each of the Employee Benefit Plans into conformity in all material respects with all of the applicable provisions of ERISA and other applicable Laws have been made or taken except to the extent that such amendments or actions are not required by Law to be made or taken until a date after the Closing Date. Except to the extent it would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred or reasonably expects to incur, either directly or indirectly (including as a result of an indemnification obligation), any liability under Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty, excise tax or joint and several liability provisions of the Code or any foreign law or regulation relating to employee benefit plans (including, without limitation, Section 406, 409, 502(i), 502(1), 4069 or 42 12(c) of ERISA, or Section 4971, 4975 or 4976 of the Code), or under any agreement, instrument, statute, rule or legal requirement pursuant to or under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Employee Benefit Plan or Pension Plan has agreed to indemnify or is required to indemnify any person against liability incurred under, or for a violation or failure to satisfy the requirements of any such legal requirement, and to the knowledge of the Company, no event, transaction or condition has occurred, exists or is expected to occur which could result in any such liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing. (j) The Company, each of its Subsidiaries, and any ERISA Affiliate that maintains a "benefits plan" (within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of ERISA) have complied with the notice and continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code or Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and the applicable regulations thereunder, except to the 25 extent that failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (k) None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any ERISA Affiliate or any organization to which any is a successor or parent corporation, has divested any business or entity maintaining or sponsoring a defined benefit pension plan having unfunded benefit liabilities (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA) or transferred any such plan to any Person other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any ERISA Affiliate during the five-year period ending on the Closing Date. (l) To Parent's Knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any "party in interest" or "disqualified person" in respect of the Employee Benefit Plans has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (m) None of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any ERISA Affiliate has terminated any Employee Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, or incurred any outstanding liability under Section 4062 of ERISA to the PBGC or to a trustee appointed under Section 4042 of ERISA and no Person (including without limitation the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation) has instituted any proceeding to terminate any Employee Benefit Plan or Pension Plan or appoint a trustee to administer any such Employee Benefit Plan or Pension Plan, in each case, except to the extent it would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (n) Other than the granting of stock options pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in any payment becoming due to any employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Employee Benefit Plan or Pension Plan, or (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any such benefits. (o) No stock or other security issued by Company or any of its Subsidiaries forms or has formed a material part of the assets of any Employee Benefit Plan. (p) There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement covering any Person that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount after the Closing Date by the Company or any Subsidiary that would not be deductible by the party making such payment by reason of Section 280G of the Code, or would constitute compensation in excess of the limitation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. (q) Except to the extent it would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Plan, to the extent requiring qualification under any applicable governmental laws or authority, is so qualified. According to the 26 actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used for the purposes of funding each Foreign Plan (or, if the same has no such assumptions and valuations or is unfunded, according to actuarial assumptions and valuations in use by the PBGC on the date hereof), as of October 12, 2004 the total amount or value of the funds available under each such Foreign Plan to pay benefits accrued thereunder or segregated in respect of such benefits, together with any reserve or accrual with respect thereto, exceeded the present value of all benefits (contingent or otherwise) accrued as of such date of all participants and past participants therein in respect of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has or would have after the Closing Date any obligation. For purposes hereof, the term "Foreign Plan" shall mean an Employee Benefit Plan with respect to current or former employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries employed outside the United States. 3.23 Labor and Employment Matters.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in obtaining any consent required hereunder, the Purchasers shall not be required to consent to any restrictions on or any other Business Restraint on their 36 businesses or those of their Affiliates nor to modify any term of (i) their investment in the Company or (ii) the Transaction Documents in any material respect.

The Company and Parent, on the one hand, and the Purchasers Representatives, on the other hand, will consult with each other and will mutually agree (the agreement of each party not to be unreasonably withheld) upon the content and timing of any press release or other public statement in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company, Parent and each Purchaser shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement, except as may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any exchange on which a party or its Affiliates' securities are listed or quoted; provided, however, that the Company and Parent, on the one hand, and the Purchasers Representatives, on the other hand, will give prior notice to the other party of the content and timing of any such press release or other public statement, and provided, further, that BACI and Evercore shall each be permitted to disclose the Transaction under the "Portfolio Section" of its website in a manner substantially similar to the transactions currently described therein, and shall be permitted to send an announcement of the Transaction to certain of its contacts, provided that in each case the content of such disclosure shall be approved by the Company prior to such disclosure, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 5.7 Notification.

The Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, in connection with option grants to such persons, amendments to the existing non-competition agreements (or covenants, in those circumstance where the non-compete is contained in an employment agreement) of each of Hugh Harris, Ernie Smith, Michael Sanchez, Francis Sanchez, Gary Norcross and Roger Leitner to cover not only Fidelity Information Services, Inc., but also Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and all of its Subsidiaries. 5.13 New York State Title Insurance Subsidiary. (a) In connection with the filing of a Form A with the NYSDI by each of THL and TPG in connection with the Transaction (the "Form A Filing"), the parties hereto acknowledge that on March 1, 2005, all outstanding equity securities of National Title Insurance of New York, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("National Title"), were transferred, in the form of a dividend, to Parent for no consideration. Parent hereby agrees that within two (2) business days after approval of the Form A Filing by the NYSDI, it will transfer or contribute through the Company all outstanding equity securities of National Title to LSI for no consideration, resulting in National Title becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. (b) Parent hereby agrees that until the earlier to occur of such time as (i) the Form A Filing has been denied, and (ii) the Form A Filing has been approved and National Title has become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, it will cause National Title (A) not to make any distributions to its shareholders, (B) to operate in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (C) not to encumber, pledge or transfer any of the assets or securities of National Title, (D) not to authorize, issue, or commit to issue any equity securities of National Title, or grant any options, warrants or commitments with respect to such equity securities, (E) not to make any loans to or payments on behalf of obligations of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), and (F) not to enter into any guarantees or other contingent obligations for the benefit of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries). (c) The parties agree that Chicago Title Insurance Company, LSI Division ("CTI") will continue to conduct all title and escrow business in the states of Connecticut and 39 Massachusetts at all times prior to the date on which the earlier to occur of (i) the Form A Filing is approved by the NYSDI , or (ii) LSI is able to process title and escrow business in such states through local law firms or other properly licensed entities pursuant to written agreements satisfactory to the Company (such period, the "Interim Period"). Following the Interim Period, CTI will no longer conduct such title and escrow business and such business will be moved to LSI. In addition, CTI will continue to conduct all title and escrow business in Nevada and Utah (for each such line of business and each such state, a "State Interim Period") until the earlier to occur of (A) LSI obtaining a license to act as a title insurance agent or escrow agent, as applicable, in such state, or (B) the Form A Filing is approved by the NYSDI, but only to the extent National Title is licensed as a title insurance company or escrow agent, as applicable, in such state. After the State Interim Period has expired for any applicable state, CTI will no longer conduct such title agency or escrow business, as applicable, and such business will be moved to LSI. At any time, and only for such time, while CTI is conducting title agency and escrow business in a particular state, the revenues generated from the conduct of such business shall be retained by CTI. In the event that the Form A Filing is not approved by the NYSDI within six (6) months following Closing, LSI will enter into written "alliance agreements", in forms satisfactory to the Company, with local law firms in Connecticut and Massachusetts, pursuant to which LSI will process the title and escrow business in such states through such local law firms. 5.14 Certain Business in Certain Counties. As of the Closing Date, LSI will not have title plant access in the California Counties (as defined in Schedule 3.10) and in each county in the State of Washington (together with the California Counties, the "Affected Counties"). As a result thereof, CTI will continue to conduct business (other than escrow) in the California Counties and all business in the other Affected Counties until such time as Parent has acquired or built title plants in each Affected County. Upon acquisition or completion of a title plant in an Affected County by Parent or its subsidiaries, LSI will obtain access to such title plant and the related business of CTI shall be moved to LSI on terms no less favorable to LSI than the terms set forth in title plant access agreements entered into as of the date hereof by and between Parent and the Company. In connection with this arrangement, Parent and the Company will enter into a license agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall provide to Parent and its subsidiaries certain technology, products and services that will assist and enable CTI to conduct the applicable businesses in the Affected Counties (the "License Agreement"). The License Agreement shall be deemed an Intercompany Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3. The combined impact on the Financial Statements of (a) the continued conduct of the above described business by CTI, and (b) the License Agreement is set forth on Schedule 3.10.

(a) Parent shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Purchasers, the Company and their Affiliates (provided however that the Parent shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates at any time after both THL and TPG no longer hold any of the Shares (including any equity securities into which such shares may subsequently be converted or exchanged into)) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses to the extent relating to, resulting from, or arising out of: 46 (i) any breach of representation or warranty of Parent under this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith; (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant of the Company or Parent under this Agreement; (iii) any and all Taxes imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (A) for any taxable year or period (or portion thereof) that ends on or before the Closing Date (except, with respect to any particular Tax, to the extent the amount of such Tax has been (1) paid, (2) accrued on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries dated November 30, 2004 previously delivered to Purchasers by Parent, (3) accrued in the financial statements delivered to Purchasers pursuant to Section 5.11 (the "Accruals") (provided that such Accruals are made consistent with past practice, in accordance with GAAP and reflect only Taxes properly allocable to the Company and its Subsidiaries (as opposed to FNF and its Subsidiaries, other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) and including any amounts distributed under clause (i) of 5.2(b)(ix) (B) to the extent such distributions exceed the amounts accrued on the November 30, 2004 or the Accruals, or (4) with respect to the period commencing the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date through the Closing Date, Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries), and (B) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any similar provision of Law) by reason of being a member of any Affiliated Group on or before the Closing Date. Parent shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to close the taxable period of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to close its taxable year on the Closing Date, the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes relating to a such period shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date and by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable, as of the close of the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. (iv) Title IV of ERISA solely as a result of the Company being or having been an ERISA Affiliate of Parent. 47 Except with respect to actual and direct damage suffered by a Purchaser (in which event any indemnification payment related thereto will be made to such Purchaser, or at such Purchaser's election, to the Company), the Purchasers Representatives shall determine, in their sole discretion, as to whether the Company, the Purchasers, or any other party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) shall be the recipient of indemnification payments made hereunder; provided, however, that in the event the Purchasers Representatives determine that the Purchasers are to be the recipients of indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 8.2(a), each Purchaser shall be entitled to its pro rata share of such indemnification payments based on the number of Shares purchased. (b) Purchasers shall severally, but not jointly, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, the Parent and their Affiliates from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses to the extent relating to, resulting from, or arising out of: (i) any breach of representation or warranty of such Purchaser under this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith; and (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant of such Purchaser under this Agreement. (c) For purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation and warranty has occurred and for purposes of determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss for all purposes under this Article VIII, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement (other than the representation in Section 3.12(ii)) shall be read without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier contained therein. 8.3 Deductible; Maximum Liability. Neither Parent nor the Purchasers shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless their respective Indemnitees under Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses by the Indemnitees under such Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), as the case may be, exceeds $30.0 million for all Indemnifiable Losses (the "Deductible"), at which point Parent or the Purchasers, as the case may be, shall be liable to their respective Indemnitees for the value of the Indemnitee's claims under Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), as the case may be, that is in excess of the Deductible, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII . The maximum aggregate liability of each of Parent and the Purchasers (allocated pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares purchased in the case of the Purchasers), as the case may be, to their respective Indemnitees for any and all Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VIII shall be $250.0 million (the "Cap"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Deductible nor the Cap shall apply with respect to Indemnifiable Losses to the extent relating to, resulting from, or arising out of (x) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or any covenant contained in this Agreement, (y) any breach of representation or warranty contained in any of Sections 3.2, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.21, the third sentence of 3.22(i), 4.2, 4.5 and 4.6, or any Indemnifiable Loss under Section 8.2(a)(iii); provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee hereunder for a breach of Section 3.21 or for any Indemnifiable Loss relating to, resulting from, or arising out of clause (A) of 48 Section 8.2(a)(iii), unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Indemnifiable Losses under such Section 3.21 and Section 8.2(a)(iii) exceeds $250,000 and then only to the extent of the Purchase Price, or (z) any Indemnifiable Losses relating to, resulting from or arising out of ERISA matters set forth in Section 8.2(a)(iv). 8.4 Definitions. As used in this Agreement: (i) "Indemnitee" means any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement; (ii) "Indemnitor" means any person required to provide indemnification under this Agreement; (iii) "Indemnifiable Losses" means any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs, and expenses, and any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations or appeals by any Person, including the costs and expenses of any and all assessments, judgments, settlements, and compromises relating thereto but not including attorneys' fees and expenses in respect thereof and in respect of establishing the right to indemnification hereunder; provided, however that any Indemnity Payment (x) made to the Purchasers shall be prorated to reflect only the Purchasers' then percentage ownership interest in the Company, and, shall in no event include any special or punitive damages (unless in connection with a Third Party Claim), and (y) shall be net of any (A) amounts actually recovered (after deducting related costs and expenses) or recoverable by the Indemnitee for the Indemnifiable Losses for which such Indemnity Payment is made under any insurance policy, warranty or indemnity from any Person other than a party hereto, and (B) Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses for which such Indemnity Payment is made. (iv) "Indemnity Payment" means any amount of Indemnifiable Losses required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) "Third-Party Claim" means any claim, action, suit, or proceeding made or brought by any person that is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement. 8.5 Procedures for Third-Party Claims. (a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third-Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice (but in no event later than 30 days after becoming aware) thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay. (b) Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee 49 so long as (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any such Indemnifiable Losses, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and, (iii) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; provided, that, in the event settlement of, or an adverse judgment in respect of, a Third-Party Claim, is likely, in the good faith judgment of a Purchaser who is an Indemnitee hereunder, to adversely affect the reputation or business of such Purchaser or its Affiliates, such Purchaser shall have the right to defend, at its expense, against such Third-Party Claim with the counsel of its choice. The Purchasers may also participate in defense of any other Third-Party Claim at their expense. (c) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.5(b), (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld), and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld); provided, however, that, in respect of clause (iii) above, the Indemnitee may condition such consent upon the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a duly executed unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. (d) In the event any condition set forth in Section 8.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, provided that the Indemnitee will consult with and obtain the consent of the Indemnitor in connection therewith which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld, (ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Indemnifiable Losses the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 8.5. 8.6 Direct Claims. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim"). If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the 50 Indemnitee. In any case where the Purchasers are the Indemnitees, the Purchasers may bring the claim on behalf of the Purchasers or the Company, in their sole discretion. 8.7 Sole Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, if the Closing occurs, their sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing with respect to any and all claims arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article VIII; provided, however that nothing contained herein shall prevent an Indemnitee from bringing a claim based on fraud. 8.8 Certain Other Matters. Upon making any Indemnity Payment, Indemnitor will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee against any third person (other than an insurance company) in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the Indemnity Payment related; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitor shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss and (ii) until Indemnitee fully recovers its Indemnity Payment, any and all claims of the Indemnitor against any such third person on account of such Indemnity Payment will be subrogated and subordinated in right of payment to Indemnitee's rights against such third person. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights. Any Indemnity Payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the applicable purchase price. ARTICLE IX Termination 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by the written agreement of Purchasers Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand; (b) by Purchasers Representatives or the Company if there shall have been entered a final, non-appealable order or injunction by any Governmental Entity prohibiting or restraining the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any material part hereof; (c) by Parent, on the one hand, and the Purchasers Representatives, on the other hand, if a Purchaser (with respect to the Parent's termination right) or the Parent or the Company (with respect to the Purchasers Representatives right) shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition to the terminating party's obligations as set forth in Article VI, and (B) such breach or failure to perform is incapable of being or has not been cured by the breaching party within 20 calendar days after giving written notice to the breaching party of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however that with respect to any breach of the No MAE Reps, the Parent shall have the right for 10 business 51 days following the receipt of notice from the Purchasers Representatives of their intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section, to attempt to cure such breach prior to the Purchasers being deemed to have any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section; (d) by Parent and the Company if any Restraint having any of the effects set forth in Section 5.5 shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to any party who has materially breached any representation or warranty or failed to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement); (e) [Intentionally omitted]; (f) by Purchasers Representatives or Parent on or after May 31, 2005, if the Closing has not occurred prior to such date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(f) shall not be available to any party who has materially breached any representation or warranty or failed to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement. The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b), 9.1(c), 9.1(d) or 9.1(f) shall promptly give written notice of such termination to the other party. 9.2 Effect of Termination. Except for Section 5.6, 5.9 and this Section 9.2 and Article X which shall survive any termination of this Agreement, upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect and all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate and there shall be no liability or obligation of any party hereto; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for its default under or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement under this Agreement prior to such termination. ARTICLE X Miscellaneous 10.1 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented only pursuant to a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement and signed by each of THL, TPG, Parent and Company; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment which adversely affects either Evercore or BACI disproportionately to any other Purchaser shall be permitted without the written consent of Evercore or BACI, as applicable. 10.2 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned, delegated, or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law (other than a merger), by contract, or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Purchasers Representatives hereto; provided, however, that any Purchaser may, without obtaining the prior written consent of any other party, assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of such Purchaser so long as (i) such Affiliate joins as a Purchaser party hereto, and (ii) such assignment, delegation or other transfer does not affect the accuracy of the representations 52 and warranties provided in Section 4.6. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 10.2 shall be void and of no force or effect. 10.3 Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. In addition, all decisions, elections or other actions expressly provided to the Purchasers Representatives under this Agreement, when made, shall be binding on all other Purchasers to the same extent such decisions, elections or other actions are binding on THL and TPG. 10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules attached hereto) and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements or understandings, among the parties hereto, including the Initial Agreement, in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the Company, Parent, any Purchaser nor any other Person has made and does not hereby make any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature. 10.6 Fees and Expenses. (a) The Company shall pay, out of the proceeds of the Purchase Price, all actual, reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and each Transaction Document, including legal and financial diligence relating thereto but in no event in an amount in excess of $45 million (inclusive of all amounts paid at Closing under Section 2(a) of the Management Agreements). (b) The Company shall pay, out of the proceeds of the Purchase Price and the Transaction, all actual, reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company and the Parent (including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and each Transaction Document and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby but in no event in an amount in excess of $10 million. The Company shall pay, out of the proceeds of the Financing, all actual, reasonable and out of pocket expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Parent or the Company (including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees, commitment fees and other bank costs, fee and expenses) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and each Transaction 53 Document, including legal and financial diligence relating thereto but in no event in an amount in excess of $50 million. 10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be enforced, governed, and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and performable solely in such state. 10.8 Headings. The article and section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. 10.9 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any action, suit, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby can only be brought in federal court sitting in the Southern District of New York or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, any state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit, or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit, or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 10.10 Notices. Any notice, demand, request, instruction, correspondence, or other document required or permitted to be given hereunder by any party to the other shall be in writing and delivered (i) in person, (ii) by a nationally recognized overnight courier service requiring acknowledgment of receipt of delivery, (iii) by United States certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or (iv) by facsimile, as follows: If to the Company, to: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. 601 Riverside Avenue Jacksonville, FL 32204 Attention: Gregory S.

Any person entitled to notice may change any address or facsimile number to which notice is to be given to it by giving notice of such change of address or facsimile number as provided in this Section 10.10. The 55 inability to deliver notice because of changed address or facsimile number of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date such attempt was first made. 10.11 No Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that absent fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, neither it nor any person acting on its behalf may assert any claim or cause of action against any officer, director, stockholder, controlling person, manager, member, partner, employer, agent, representative, or Affiliate of any other party nor their respective officers, directors, stockholders, controlling persons, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, or representatives in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case, except to the extent any such Person is a party to such Transaction Document. 10.12 Severability.

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any party fails to perform (i) under this Agreement prior to Closing or (ii) under any covenants contained in Sections 5.5 and 5.13 following the Closing, monetary damages alone may not be adequate to compensate the other parties for their injuries. Each party shall, therefore, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to them, be entitled to seek to obtain specific performance of (i) this Agreement for failure to perform under this Agreement prior to Closing and (ii) the covenants contained in Sections 5.5 and 5.13 following the Closing. If any action, suit, or proceeding is instituted by a party to enforce this Agreement, the other parties hereby waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a Default by a party that results in the filing of an action for damages, specific performance, or other remedies, the winning party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the defaulting party of all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by it. 10.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Article VIII, nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 10.15 Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights and remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy that may be available to any party whether at law, in equity, or otherwise. No delay, forbearance, or neglect by any party, whether in one or more instances, in the exercise of any right, power, privilege, or remedy hereunder or in the enforcement of any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any provision hereof, or consent required hereunder, or any consent or departure from this Agreement, shall be valid or binding unless expressly and affirmatively made in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged with such waiver. No 56 waiver shall constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver or a waiver in respect of any subsequent breach or Default, either of equivalent or different nature, unless expressly so stated in such writing. 10.16 Purchaser Obligations. All obligations of the Purchasers contained herein shall be several, not joint.
