Item 4. Description of Securities

     The class of securities to be offered under this Registration Statement is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

     Article Seventh (f) of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

     ARTICLE V, Section 1 of the Registrant’s Restated Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”) provides that the corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by , an in the manner permissible under, the laws of the State of Delaware any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation, or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation. The rights of indemnification under the Restated Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which any director or officer of the corporation may be entitled apart from the provisions of Article V.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future. These agreements may require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any Proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

     The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances in which an officer or director of the Registrant may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expenses.

     In addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant’s Certificate and Restated Bylaws, the Registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which would insure the Registrant’s directors and officers against certain liabilities which might be incurred in connection with the performance of their duties.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

     Not Applicable.

(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 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;

  (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, 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.

(b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, 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 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: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), for the purpose of registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), 1,006,188 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Shares”), issuable upon the exercise of options (each, an “Option”) granted under the Sanchez Computer Associates, Inc. Amended and Restated 1995 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and assumed by the Registrant pursuant to the Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 27, 2004 and restated as of March 4, 2004, by and among the Registrant, Fidelity Information Services, Inc., Sunday Merger Corp., Sunday Merger, LLC and Sanchez Computer Associates, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”).

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of the Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement in the form to be filed with the Commission on the date hereof under the Securities Act; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant; (iv) the Restated Bylaws of the Registrant, as currently in effect; (v) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Registrant; and (vi) the Plan. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Registrant and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary and appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.

In making our examination and in rendering our opinion set forth herein, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of documents executed by parties other than the Registrant, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery of such documents by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinion expressed herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representatives of officers and other representatives of the Registrant and others.

We have also assumed that each option agreement setting forth the terms of each Option granted under each of the Plan is consistent with the Plan and was duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties

 


 

thereto, and that the consideration received by the Registrant for the Common Stock delivered upon the exercise of each such Option will be in an amount at least equal to the par value of the Common Stock.

We do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and paid for upon the exercise of an Option duly granted under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable option agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules or regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,

     (b) the Participant’s willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his or her duties and responsibilities as an employee, board member or advisor of the Company or under any Employment Agreement, which willful misconduct is not cured by the Participant within 10 days of his or her receipt of written notice thereof from the Committee;

     (c) the Participant’s commission of an act of embezzlement, fraud or dishonesty which results in a loss, damage or injury to the Company;

     (d) the Participant’s substantial and continuing neglect, gross negligence or inattention in the performance of his or her duties as an employee, board member or advisor of the Company or under any Employment Agreement which is not cured by the Participant within 10 days of his or her receipt of written notice thereof from the Committee;

-3-


 

     (e) the Participant’s unauthorized use or disclosure or any trade secret or confidential information of the Company which adversely affects the business of the Company, provided that any disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of the Company to a third party in the ordinary course of business who signs a confidentiality agreement shall not be deemed a breach of this subparagraph;

     (f) the Participant’s material breach of any of the provisions of any Employment Agreement, which material breach is not cured by the Participant within 10 days of his or her receipt of a written notice from the Company specifying such material breach; or

     (g) the Participant has voluntarily terminated his or her employment or service with the Company and breaches his or her non-competition agreement with the Company.

SECTION 2. Administration

     The Plan shall be administered by a Committee which shall consist of two or more non-employee directors appointed by the Board. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members or may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.

     The Committee shall have the authority to:

     (a) select the Participants to whom Grants may from time to time be made hereunder;

     (b) determine the type, size and terms of the Grants to be made to each such Participant;

     (c) determine the time when the Grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability;

     (d) amend the terms of any outstanding award (with the consent of the Participant) to reflect terms not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan, including, but not limited to, amendments concerning vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver regarding any award or the extension of a Participant’s right with respect to Grants under the Plan as a result of termination of employment or service or otherwise, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, or substitution of new Stock Options for previously granted Stock Options, including previously granted Stock Options having high option prices;

-4-


 

     (e) establish from time to time any policy or program to encourage or require Participants to achieve or maintain equity ownership in the Company through the use of the Plan upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, and thereafter to amend, modify or terminate such policy or program as the Committee may from time to time deem appropriate; and

     (f) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan.

     The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan and any Grant made under the Plan, to make factual determinations and to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines, practices, agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any Grants made hereunder. All power of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion, in the best interest of the Company, not as a fiduciary, and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan.

     No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Grant made under it. Nothing herein shall be deemed to expand the personal liability of a member of the Board or Committee beyond that which may arise under any applicable standards set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, by-laws and Pennsylvania law, nor shall anything herein limit any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any member of the Board or the Committee may be entitled under any applicable law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or by-laws, agreement, vote of the stockholders or directors, or otherwise.

SECTION 3. Stock Subject to the Plan

     (a) The aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued or transferred under the Plan is 2,680,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b) below. Such shares may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares of Stock, including shares purchased by the Company on the open market for purposes of the Plan. In the event the number of shares of Stock issued under the Plan and the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding awards equals the maximum number of shares of Stock authorized under the Plan, no further awards shall be made unless the Plan is amended to increase the number of shares of Stock issuable and transferable hereunder or additional shares of Stock become available for further awards under the Plan. If and to the extent that Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan terminate, expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, or if any shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, the shares subject to such Grants shall again be available for subsequent awards under the Plan.

     (b) If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of Company Stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend, spin off, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or

-5-


 

consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding Company Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of Company Stock is substantially reduced as a result of a spin off or the Company’s payment of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, then unless such event or change results in the termination of all outstanding awards under the Plan, the Committee shall preserve the value of the outstanding awards by adjusting the maximum number and class of shares issuable under the Plan to reflect the effect of such event or change in the Company’s capital structure, and by making appropriate adjustments to the number and class of shares subject to an outstanding award and/or the option price of each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right, except that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated by rounding any portion of a share equal to .5 or greater up, and any portion of a share equal to less than .5 down, in each case to the nearest whole number.

SECTION 4. Eligibility; Participant Limitations Concerning Issuances

     All employees, New Hires, non-employee directors, and Eligible Independent Contractors are eligible to participate in the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that shall be subject to Grants made under the Plan to any Participant shall not exceed 550,000. The terms and provisions of Grants made under the Plan may vary between Participants or as to the same Participant to whom more than one Grant may be awarded.

SECTION 5. Stock Options

     Stock Options may be granted alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options.

     The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights). To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

     Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of this Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422.

     Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate:

-6-


 

     (a) Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, provided, however, that the option price per share for any Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time of grant.

          Any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), shall have an exercise price no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of the grant.

     (b) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary corporation may not have a term of more than five years. No Stock Option may be exercised by any person after expiration of the term of the Stock Option.

     (c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at or after grant. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after grant in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.

     (d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise provisions apply under Section 5(c), Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Option period, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either by cash, check, or such other instrument as the Committee may accept. As determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant, payment in full or in part may also be made in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the Participant (including Company Stock acquired in connection with the exercise of an Option, subject to such restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate); provided, however, that (i) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the Participant may be authorized only at the time the Option is granted and (ii) the Company may require that the Stock has been owned by the Participant for the requisite period of time necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and adverse accounting consequences to the Company with respect to the Option.

          If specified by the Committee in the agreement governing a Stock Option at the time of grant, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, upon receipt of such Participant’s written notice to exercise, elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the Stock Option to be exercised by paying the Participant an amount, in cash or

-7-


 

Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock over the option price on the effective date of such cash-out.

          To the extent permitted under the applicable laws and regulations, at the request of the Participant and if authorized by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant, the Company agrees to cooperate in a “cashless exercise” of a Stock Option. The cashless exercise shall be effected by the Participant delivering to the Securities Broker instructions to sell a sufficient number of shares of Stock to cover the cost and expenses associated therewith.

          No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. A Participant shall not have any right to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to the Option until such time as Stock is issued in the name of the Participant following exercise of the Option in accordance with the Plan.

     (e) Stock Option Agreement. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an appropriate Stock Option agreement, which agreement shall expressly specify whether such Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option and shall be executed by the Company and the Participant. The agreement shall contain such terms and provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee.

     (f) Replacement Options. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and at the time of the original option grant, authorize the Participant to automatically receive replacement Options pursuant to this part of the Plan. Any such replacement option shall be granted upon such terms and subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may deem appropriate. Any replacement option shall cover a number of shares determined by the Committee, but in no event more than the number of shares equal to the number of shares of the original option exercised. The per share exercise price of any replacement option shall equal the then current Fair Market Value of a share of Stock, and shall have a term as determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the original Option.

          The Committee shall have the right, and may reserve the right in any Option grant, in its sole discretion and at any time, to discontinue the automatic grant of replacement options if it determines the continuance of such grants to no longer be in the best interest of the Company.

     (g) Non-transferability of Options. Except as provided below, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. When a Participant dies, the representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Participant may exercise such rights, subject to the Company receiving satisfactory proof of his or her right to receive the Grant under the Participant’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide, at or after Grant, that a Participant may transfer Nonqualified Stock Options pursuant

-8-


 

to a domestic relations order or to family members or other persons or entities according to such terms as the Committee may determine.

     (h) Termination of Employment; Disability; Death

     (i) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment (voluntary or involuntary) for any reason other than as provided below, any Stock Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such termination or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, for a period of one month (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

     (ii) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, if any Participant ceases to be employed by the Company on account of a Termination for Cause by the Company, any Stock Option held by such Participant shall terminate as of the date the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company, and the Participant shall automatically forfeit all Stock underlying any exercised portion of an Option for which the Company has not yet delivered the share certificates, upon refund by the Company of the Exercise Price paid by the Participant for such Stock.

     (iii) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, if a Participant’s employment by the Company terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, for a period of one year (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

     (iv) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, if any Participant dies while employed by the Company or within one month after the date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company on account of termination of employment specified in Section 5(h)(i) above (or within such other period of time as may be specified by the Committee), any Stock Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Participant under the will of the Participant, for a period of one year (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

     (i) Incentive Stock Option Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock

-9-


 

Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company shall not exceed $100,000. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or a parent or subsidiary (within the meaning of section 424(f) of the Code).

     (j) Issuance of Shares. Within a reasonable time after exercise of an Option, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Participant a certificate for the Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option.

SECTION 6. Stock Appreciation Rights

     (a) Grant and Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either separately or in tandem with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights awarded under the Plan need not be the same with respect to each Participant. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at the grant of such Stock Option or at any time thereafter while the Option remains outstanding. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Stock Option. The Committee shall establish the base amount of the Stock Appreciation Rights at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the base amount of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be equal to the per share option price of the related Stock Option or, if there is no related Stock Option, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of the date of grant of such Stock Appreciation Right.

          A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with respect to a given Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, a Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by a related Stock Option shall not be reduced until the number of shares covered by an exercise or termination of the related Stock Option exceeds the number of shares not covered by the Stock Appreciation Right.

          A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant, in accordance with Section 6(b), by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b). Stock Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.

     (b) Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:

-10-


 

     (i) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate, if any, shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and this Section 6 of the Plan.

     (ii) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, an amount in cash and/or shares of Stock equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock (as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and the related Stock Option is surrendered) over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by the number of shares of Stock in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.

     (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent that the underlying Stock Option would be transferable under Section 5(g) of the Plan.

     (iv) A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only if and when the market price of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of such Stock Option.

SECTION 7. Restricted Stock

     (a) Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the employees, non-employee directors or Eligible Independent Contractors to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient of Restricted Stock (subject to Section 7(b)), the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture, and all other conditions of the awards. The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion. The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

     (b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of a Restricted Stock award shall not have any rights with respect to such award unless and until such recipient has executed an agreement evidencing the award and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such award.

     (i) The purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock shall be established by the Committee and may be zero.

     (ii) Awards of Restricted Stock may be accepted within a period of 60 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Stock award agreement and paying whatever price (if any) is required under Section 7(b)(i).

-11-


 

     (iii) Each Participant receiving a Restricted Stock award shall be issued a certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such award, substantially in the following form:

The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Sanchez Computer Associates, Inc. 1995 Equity Compensation Plan and an Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Sanchez Computer Associates, Inc. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of Sanchez Computer Associates, Inc.”

     (iv) The Committee shall require that the certificates evidencing such Restricted Stock be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any Restricted Stock award, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such award.

     (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions:

     (i) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the Restricted Stock award agreement, during a period set by the Committee commencing with the date of such award (the “Restriction Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Within these limits, the Committee, at its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part, based on service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion.

     (ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) and Section 7(c)(i), the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. The Committee, in its sole discretion, as determined at the time of award, may permit or require the payment of cash dividends to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested in additional Restricted Stock to the extent shares are available under Section 3.

     (iii) Subject to the applicable provisions of the Restricted Stock award agreement and this Section 7, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason during the Restriction Period, all shares still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant, subject to any payments for such shares as may be provided in the Restricted Stock award agreement.

-12-


 

     (iv) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock, based on such factors as the Committee may deem appropriate.

     (v) If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period, the certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant promptly.

SECTION 8. Withholding and Use of Shares to Satisfy Tax Obligations

     (a) Required Withholding. All Grants under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal (including FICA), state and local withholding requirements. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all Grants paid in cash, or from other wages paid to the Participant, any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Grants. In the case of Grants paid in Company Stock, the Company may require the Participant or other person receiving such Stock to pay to the Company the amount of any such taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Grants, or the Company may deduct from other wages paid by the Company the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to such Grants.

     (b) Election to Withhold Shares. If the Committee so permits, a Participant may elect to satisfy the Company’s income tax withholding obligation with respect to a Grant paid in Company Stock by having shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the Participant’s maximum marginal tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities. The election must be in a form and manner prescribed by the Committee and shall be subject to the prior approval of the Committee.

SECTION 9. Reorganization of the Company.

     (a) Reorganization. As used herein, a “Reorganization” shall be deemed to have occurred if the shareholders of the Company approve (or, if shareholder approval is not required, the Board approves) an agreement providing for (i) the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, will not beneficially own, immediately after the merger or consolidation, shares entitling such shareholders to more than 50% of all votes to which all shareholders of the surviving corporation would be entitled in the election of directors (without consideration of the rights of any class of stock to elect directors by a separate class vote), (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

     (b) Assumption of Grants. Upon a Reorganization where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), unless the Committee determines otherwise, all outstanding Options and SARs that are not exercised shall be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options or rights by, the surviving corporation.

-13-


 

     (c) Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Reorganization, the Committee may take one or both of the following actions: the Committee may (i) require that Participants surrender their outstanding Options and SARs in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Company Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Participant’s unexercised Options and SARs exceeds the Exercise Price of the Options or the base amount of the SARs, as applicable, or (ii) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise their outstanding Options and SARs, terminate any or all unexercised Options and SARs at such time as the Committee deems appropriate. Such surrender or termination shall take place as of the date of the Reorganization or such other date as the Committee may specify.

     (d) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Reorganization, the Committee shall not have the right to take any actions described in the Plan (including without limitation actions described in Subsection (b) above) that would make the Reorganization ineligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment or that would make the Reorganization ineligible for desired tax treatment if, in the absence of such right, the Reorganization would qualify for such treatment and the Company intends to use such treatment with respect to the Reorganization.

SECTION 10. Change of Control of the Company.

     (a) As used herein, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

     (i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company except where the acquisition is approved by the Board; or

     (ii) Any person has commenced a tender offer or exchange offer for a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company.

     (b) Notice and Acceleration. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Change of Control shall not result in the acceleration of vesting of outstanding Options and SARs or the removal of restrictions and conditions on outstanding Restricted Stock grant.

     (c) Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take one or both of the following actions: the Committee may (i) require that Participants surrender their outstanding Options and

-14-


 

SARs in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Company Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Participant’s unexercised Options and SARs exceeds the Exercise Price of the Options or the base amount of the SARs, as applicable, or (ii) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise their outstanding Options and SARs, terminate any or all unexercised Options and SARs at such time as the Committee deems appropriate. Such surrender or termination shall take place as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as the Committee may specify.

     (d) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee shall not have the right to take any actions described in the Plan (including without limitation actions described in Subsection (c) above) that would make the Change of Control ineligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment or that would make the Change of Control ineligible for desired tax treatment if, in the absence of such right, the Change of Control would qualify for such treatment and the Company intends to use such treatment with respect to the Change of Control.

SECTION 11. Amendments and Termination

     The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time.

SECTION 12. Unfunded Status of Plan

     The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Grants under this Plan. In no event shall interest be paid or accrued on any Grant, including unpaid installments of Grants.

SECTION 13. General Provisions

     (a) The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to a Stock Option or receiving Stock upon the expiration of any Restriction Period under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares for investment and not with a view to distribution thereof and that such Participant will not dispose of such Stock in any manner that would involve a violation of applicable securities laws. In such event no Stock shall be issued to such Participant unless and until the Company is satisfied with such representation. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act or any state securities law.

          All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any stock exchange or over-the-counter market upon which the Stock is then listed or included, and any applicable federal or

-15-


 

state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
