Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

(a) Credit Agreement

On March 9, 2005, Fidelity National Information Solutions, Inc. (“Solutions”) and Fidelity National Tax Service, Inc. (“Tax” and, together with Solutions, “Borrowers”), both direct subsidiaries of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Services”) and indirect subsidiaries of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), and Services, as the parent guarantor, entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2005, with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer and lender, and the other financial institutions party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement replaces Services’ $500 million Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2004, among Services, as borrower, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, Bank of America, as Syndication Agent and the other financial institutions party thereto (the “Wachovia Credit Agreement”), which was terminated on March 9, 2005, prior to its scheduled expiration date of November 8, 2007. On the date of its termination, approximately $410,265,229 was outstanding under the Wachovia Credit Agreement and no early termination penalties were incurred by Services.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $800 million six-year term facility (“Term A Loans”), a $2.0 billion eight-year term facility (“Term B Loans”) and a $400 million revolving credit facility maturing on the sixth anniversary of the closing date. The term facilities were fully drawn on the closing date while the revolving credit facility was undrawn on the closing date. Services has provided an unconditional guarantee of the full and punctual payment of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement and related loan documents. Solutions and Tax have also unconditionally guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations of each other thereunder. In addition, each of the domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of Solutions (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries and Services’ regulated subsidiary) has provided an unconditional guarantee of the full and punctual payments of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and related loan documents.

Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed by the Borrowers from time to time until the maturity of the revolving credit facility. The term facilities are subject to quarterly amortization of principal in equal installments of 0.25% of the principal amount with the remaining balance payable at maturity. In addition to the scheduled amortization, and with certain exceptions, the term loans are subject to mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow, issuance of additional equity and debt and certain sales of assets. Voluntary prepayments of both the term loans and revolving loans and commitment reductions of the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement are permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Revolving credit borrowings and Term A Loans bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the Borrowers’ option, either the British Bankers Association LIBOR or a base rate plus, in both cases, an applicable margin, which is subject to adjustment based on the performance of the Borrowers. The Term B Loans bear interest at either the British Bankers Association LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or, at the Borrowers’ option, a base rate plus 0.75% per annum.

 


Table of Contents

Solutions and each of its subsidiaries that is a guarantor have granted the Administrative Agent a first priority (subject to certain exceptions) security interest in substantially all of their personal property, including shares of stock and other ownership interests. A mortgage lien was also granted by one of the subsidiaries of Solutions.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, restrictions on investments and dispositions, limitations on restricted payments and capital expenditures, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum senior secured leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations will be increased and payments of all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Credit Agreement shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate.

Some of the lenders under the Credit Agreement have or may have had various relationships with the Company and its affiliates involving the provision of a variety of financial services, including cash management, investment banking, pension fund and equipment financing and leasing services, and the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement and reference is made to the complete text of this agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.

(b) Grant of Stock Options

The following nonqualified stock options to acquire common stock of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“Services”) were granted on March 9, 2005 under the Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The options were granted at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The time based options granted to Messrs. Foley, Stinson and Bickett will vest with respect to 1/16 of the total number of shares subject to such time-based options on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on the last day of the first fiscal quarter following the date of grant, until fully vested. The time based options granted to Messrs. Smith and Harris will vest with respect to 1/20 of the total number of shares subject to such time-based options on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on the last day of the first fiscal quarter following the date of grant, until fully vested. The performance based options granted to Messrs. Foley, Stinson and Bickett will vest as follows, in the event of a Change in Control or after an Initial Public Offering (as each term is defined in the form of Option Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1), solely if one of the following targets (each, a “Target”) shall be met: (a) 50% of the total number of shares subject to such performance based options will vest if the “Equity Value” of a share of Services’ common stock equals at least $17.50 (subject to adjustment stock splits and the like), and (b) 100% of the total number of shares subject to such performance based options will vest if the Equity Value of a share of Services’ common stock equals at least $20.00 (subject to adjustment for stock splits and the like), provided the optionee’s service with Services has not terminated prior to the applicable vesting date. All of the performance based options granted to Messrs. Smith and Harris will vest following a Change in Control or an Initial Public Offering (as each term is defined in the form of Option Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1) if the Equity Value of a share of Services’ common stock equals at least $20.00 (subject to adjustment for stock splits and the like), provided the optionee’s service with Services has not terminated prior to the applicable vesting date.

For purposes of this calculation, “Equity Value” shall be determined as follows: (i) in the event of a Change in Control, the Equity Value shall be determined at the time of the transaction constituting a Change in Control, and shall be equal to the aggregate amount of net proceeds (other than any taxes) of cash or readily marketable securities and the discounted expected value of any other deferred consideration (as determined by the Board of Services) received or to be received by the holders of common stock of Services in such transaction, divided by the number of outstanding shares (including all shares issuable upon exercise of in-the-money exercisable options) at the time of the Change in Control, and (ii) at any time after an Initial Public Offering, the Equity Value shall be measured using the average price of the common stock over a consecutive forty-five (45) day trading period, then the applicable Target shall be deemed to have been met.

Each option grant was evidenced by an option agreement and a notice of stock option grant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the option agreement and notice of exercise and reference is made to the complete text of this agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Amendment of Material Agreement

Effective March 9, 2005, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment to Credit Agreement”) amending that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 4, 2003, among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April 9, 2004, and by the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of October 29, 2004 (the “Second Amendment”). As a result of (i) the issuance of approximately 25% of the common equity interests of Services to Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., Texas Pacific Group, Evercore METC Capital Partners II, L.P., Banc of America Capital Investors, L.P. and certain of their affiliates, (ii) the payment of a dividend by Services to the Company in the amount of $2.7 billion, (iii) the execution and delivery of a credit agreement providing for term loans in the aggregate principal amounts of $2.8 billion and a revolving credit facility in the amount of $400 million among Services and certain subsidiaries of Services in favor of certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and (iv) the payment of a special $10 per share special dividend by the Company to the holders of the common stock of the Company (collectively, the “FIS Recapitalization Transaction”), certain amendments to the Credit Agreement contemplated by the Second Amendment which were to become effective at the times provided therein were no longer necessary or appropriate. Accordingly, the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement amended certain of the covenants and default provisions contained in the Credit Agreement to account for the FIS Recapitalization Transaction and to eliminate certain provisions that were to subsequently become effective pursuant to the Second Amendment, and to provide for the release of Services, Fidelity Information Services, Inc. and Solutions, from their respective obligations under the subsidiary guaranty of the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and reference is made to the complete text of this agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 9, 2005, Services also completed the issuance of a 25% interest in its common stock to certain affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., certain affiliates of Texas Pacific Group, Evercore METC Capital Partners II L.P. (“Evercore”) and Banc of America Capital Investors, L.P. (“BOFA”). The purchase price for the shares was $500 million. In connection with the sale, Services agreed to pay certain fees to and expenses of the investors, totaling approximately $41 million. At the closing, Evercore and BOFA also became parties to the Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, as previously described in and filed with our Form 8-K report filed December 29, 2004. However, neither of them will have any governance rights under the Stockholders Agreement. Services used a portion of the proceeds of the minority interest sale to repay all outstanding principal and interest under the Wachovia Credit Agreement.

The complete text of the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement as executed at the closing are filed as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

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.

(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.

(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.

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.

Any claim for an Indemnifiable Loss in respect of such a breach asserted within such period of survival as herein provided will be timely made for purposes hereof. (b) Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), the covenants in this Agreement will survive and remain in effect indefinitely. 8.2 Indemnification. (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.

(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.

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.

On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each Notice of Stock Option Grant referencing this Agreement (the "Notice"), the Company grants to the Optionee on the Date of Grant an option to purchase at the Exercise Price a number of Shares, all as set forth in the Notice. Each such Notice, together with this referenced Agreement, shall be a separate option governed by the terms of this Agreement. This option is intended to be an ISO or a Nonstatutory Option, as provided in the Notice. If this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice, but fails to so qualify, it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option. (b) DEFINED TERMS. This option is granted under and subject to the terms of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference. Capitalized terms are defined in Section 13 of this Agreement. (c) DURATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 3. NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION.

SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES. (a) NOTICE OF EXERCISE. The Optionee or the Optionee's representative may exercise this option by giving written notice to the Company specifying the election to exercise this option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment.

At the sole discretion of the Committee, all or any part of the Purchase Price and any applicable withholding requirements may be paid by any alternative method selected by the Committee. The Committee's exercise of its discretion to allow the Optionee to pay the exercise price pursuant to an alternative method shall not bind the Committee to permit such alternative method of payment for the remainder of this option or with respect to any other option or optionee under the Plan.

(a) At any time after the date of this Agreement, if any Sponsor or Parent (the "Selling Holder") proposes to Transfer any Shares, the Selling Holder shall, before such Transfer: (i) Deliver to the Company and to the other Stockholders (the "Other Holders") at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed Transfer (the "Sale Notice") and the terms of such Transfer, including (A) the number of Shares to which the Transfer relates (the "Offered Shares"), (B) the name and address of the proposed Transferee, (C) the proposed amount and type of consideration (including, if the consideration consists in whole or in part of non-cash consideration, such information available to the Selling Holder as may be reasonably necessary for the other Stockholders to properly analyze the economic value and investment risk of such non-cash consideration) and the terms and conditions of payment proposed by the Selling Holder. (ii) Any of the Other Holders may, within twenty-five (25) days of the receipt of the Sale Notice, give written notice (each, a "Tag-Along Notice") to the Selling Holder that such Other Holder wishes to participate in such proposed Transfer upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, which Tag-Along Notice shall specify the Shares such Other Holder desires to include in such proposed Transfer; provided, however, that (1) each Other Holder shall be required, as a condition to being permitted to sell Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) in connection with a Transfer of Offered Shares, to sell a number of shares equal to the product of its Pro Rata Amount and the number of Offered Shares, (2) to exercise its tag-along rights hereunder, each Other Holder must agree to make to the Transferee on behalf of itself the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Holder agrees to make in connection with the Transfer of the Offered Shares (except that in the case of representations and warranties pertaining specifically to, or covenants made specifically by, the Selling Holder, the Other Holders shall make comparable representations and warranties pertaining specifically to (and, as applicable, covenants by) themselves), and must agree to bear its ratable share (which shall be proportionate based on the value of Shares that are Transferred) of all liabilities to the Transferees arising out of representations, warranties (other than those representations, warranties and covenants that pertain specifically to a given Stockholder), covenants, indemnities or other agreements made in connection with the Transfer. Each Stockholder will bear (x) its own costs of any sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) and (y) its pro-rata -9- share (based upon the relative amount of Shares sold) of any of the other costs of any reasonable and customary sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Transferee. (b) If none of the Other Holders gives the Selling Holder a Tag-Along Notice prior to the expiration of the 25-day period for giving Tag-Along Notices with respect to the Transfer proposed in the Sale Notice, then (notwithstanding this Section 3.2(a)) the Selling Holder may Transfer such Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth, and to or among any of the Transferees identified (or Affiliates of Transferees identified), in the Sale Notice at any time within ninety (90) days after expiration of the 25-day period for giving Tag-Along Notices with respect to such Transfer. Any such Offered Shares not Transferred by the Selling Holder during such 90-day period will again be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2 upon subsequent Transfer. If one or more Other Holders give the Selling Holder a timely Tag-Along Notice, then the Selling Holder shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective Transferee(s) to the participation of the Other Holders in any contemplated Transfer, on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Offered Shares, and no Selling Holder shall transfer any of its shares to any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of any of the Other Holders. (c) The rights and restrictions contained in Section 3.2(a) shall not apply with respect to any Exempt Transfer, except Exempt Transfers pursuant to this Section 3.2. 3.3 Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Shares as the owner of such Shares for any purpose. ARTICLE IV LIQUIDITY RIGHTS 4.1 Duty to Negotiate; Appraisal. (a) If the Sponsors shall have cooperated with the Company in its efforts to consummate a Qualified Public Offering but the Company has not consummated a Qualified Public Offering prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, then, at any time thereafter, the holders of 75% of the Sponsor Shares (together, the "Sponsor Group") may give notice (the "Transfer Notice") to Parent that the Sponsors desire to sell their Shares to Parent. For a period of 30 days from the date of the Transfer Notice, each party will negotiate in good faith regarding a sale of all the Sponsor Shares to the Parent or the Company. If the parties are unable to agree upon the terms of a sale of the Sponsor Shares to the Parent or the Company within such 30-day period, then the Sponsor Group may elect to initiate the Appraisal Process to determine the Appraisal Price (the "Election"). Any Appraisal Process shall be initiated by the Sponsor Group by delivering to Parent and the Company the report of the first appraiser. -10- (b) If, following the first Appraisal Process, the Sponsor Group is not satisfied in its sole discretion, with the Appraisal Price (which determination it shall make within fifteen (15) days of completion of the Appraisal Process), then it may elect (the "Second Election") to initiate the Appraisal Process a second time; provided that the Sponsor Group may not make a Second Election within 12 months of the Election. If, following the second Appraisal Process, the Sponsor Group is not satisfied in its sole discretion, with the Appraisal Price (which determination it shall make within fifteen (15) days of completion of the Appraisal Process), then it may elect to initiate the Appraisal Process a third time (the "Third Election"), provided that, the Sponsor Group may not make a Third Election within 12 months of the Second Election. The Sponsor Group may not initiate the Appraisal Process more than three times. (c) If, following any Appraisal Process, the Sponsor Group is satisfied, in its sole discretion, with the Appraisal Price, the Sponsor Group shall so notify the Parent and the Company and the Parent or the Company may elect, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of the Sponsor Group's approval of the Appraisal Price, in its sole discretion, to purchase for cash all but not less than all of the Sponsor Shares from the Sponsors at the Appraisal Price by sending written notice to the Sponsors, and, in such event, the Sponsors shall sell all but not less than all of the Sponsor Shares to the Company and/or Parent. The closing of the purchase of the Shares from the Sponsors by the Company and/or Parent pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) shall occur no later than 30 days after notice of the Company or Parent's election to purchase. (d) If the Sponsor Group, in its sole discretion, has approved an Appraisal Price, but the Company and Parent elect not to purchase the Sponsors' Shares or fail to make an election within the 15-day time period referenced in clause (c) above, then the Sponsor Group shall have the right to compel a Sale of the Company pursuant to Section 4.1(e) (the "Sale Process"). (e) In accordance with Section 4.1(d) above, the Sponsor Group may elect to compel a Sale of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(e) by providing written notice thereof to the Company. (i) The Stockholders and the Company promptly after receiving such notice will take, under the direction of the Sponsor Group, all actions reasonably necessary or desirable and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the consummation of such Sale of the Company (and, as used in this Section 4.1, if structured as a stock sale, a sale of 100% of the outstanding stock of the Company) at the highest value reasonably available. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) each of Parent and the Company shall provide each of the Sponsors with prompt notice regarding any and all approvals, consents, notifications, waivers and other legal requirements applicable to it and necessary for the consummation of the proposed Sale of the Company, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals, consents, notifications and waivers, and comply with all such other legal requirements in a timely fashion, (ii) the Company shall hire an investment bank (chosen by the Sponsor Group, but reasonably acceptable to the Company) to identify potential buyers, conduct an auction process -11- and otherwise facilitate a Sale of the Company, (iii) subject to the provisions of 4.1(e)(ii), if the proposed Sale of the Company is structured as a sale of assets or a merger or consolidation, or otherwise requires equityholder approval, subject to the approval of the terms of such proposed Sale of the Company by the Sponsor Group, in its sole discretion, the Stockholders and the Company will vote or cause to be voted all Shares that they hold or with respect to which such Stockholder has the power to direct the voting and which are entitled to vote on such transaction in favor of such transaction and will waive any appraisal rights which they may have in connection therewith, and (iv) subject to the provisions of 4.1(e)(ii) and to the approval of the Sale of the Company by the Sponsor Group, in its sole discretion, if the proposed Sale of the Company is structured as or involves a sale or redemption of Shares, the Stockholders will agree to sell all but not less than all of their Shares on the terms and conditions approved by such Sponsor Group, and the Stockholders and the Company will execute any merger, asset purchase, security purchase, recapitalization or other sale agreement approved by such Sponsor Group (the "Definitive Sale Agreements"), and will make to the buyer the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements (other than non-competition agreements) as the Sponsor Group makes in connection with such Sale of the Company (except that in the case of representations and warranties pertaining specifically to, or covenants made specifically by, any Sponsor, the other Stockholders shall make comparable representations and warranties pertaining specifically to (and, as applicable, covenants by) themselves), and must agree to bear their ratable share (which shall be proportionate based on the value of Shares that are being sold in such Sale of the Company) of all liabilities of the Stockholders arising out of representations, warranties (other than those representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements that pertain specifically to a given Stockholder), covenants, indemnities or other agreements made in the Definitive Sale Agreements. (ii) The obligations of the Stockholders with respect to the Sale of the Company are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company, all of the holders of a particular class or series of Shares shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per share, or amount of Shares, or if any holders of a particular class or series of Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of such class or series will be given the same option, (B) all holders of vested and exercisable rights to acquire a particular class or series of Shares will be given an opportunity to either (1) exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Company and participate in such sale as holders of such Shares or (2) upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company, receive in exchange for such rights consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (x) the same amount of consideration per share, or amount -12- of Shares received by the holders of such type and class of Shares in connection with the Sale of the Company less the exercise price per share, or amount of such rights to acquire such Shares by (y) the number of shares, or aggregate amount of Shares represented by such rights, and (C) in no event shall the aggregate liability of any Stockholder for representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or agreements (other than with respect to such Stockholder's ownership of its Shares or ability to consummate the transfer thereof) with respect to any Sale of the Company exceed the proceeds received by such Stockholder in such Sale of the Company. (iii) Each Stockholder will bear its or his pro-rata share (based upon the relative amount of Shares sold) of the reasonable and customary costs of any Sale of the Company to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. (iv) In no event will the auction process take more than 180 days (the "Auction Period"), unless Definitive Sale Agreements have been entered into prior to the end of the Auction Period. Unless Definitive Sale Agreements have previously been executed, the Sponsor Group shall have the right to terminate the Sale Process at any time during the Auction Period in its sole discretion (the "Sale Termination Right"). If (i) the Sponsor Group exercises the Sale Termination Right, or (ii) the Sale of the Company as contemplated by the Definitive Sale Agreements is not consummated (unless the failure to consummate is the result of a breach of the Definitive Agreements by a member of the Sponsor Group), then, at any time on or after 6 months after the date on which the Sponsor Group exercised the Sale Termination Right or the Definitive Sale Agreements terminated in accordance with their terms, as the case may be, the Sponsor Group may, again initiate their liquidity rights under this Article IV (commencing with Section 4.1(a)), subject to the terms of Section 4.1(b). If, (i) at the end of the Auction Period, there is no good faith, bona fide offer to acquire the Company, or (ii) the shareholders of Parent have the right to approve the Sale of the Company and vote against such transaction, then, the Sponsor Group may, in its sole discretion, either (i) exercise the exchange rights described in Section 4.2, or (ii) again and at any time initiate their liquidity rights under this Article IV (commencing with Section 4.1(a)), subject to the terms of Section 4.1(b). 4.2 Exchange Rights. If a Sale of the Company does not occur in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(e), then the Sponsor Group may elect to cause the exchange of all, but not less than all, of the Sponsor Shares for shares of common stock of Parent, the resale of which by Sponsors shall be registered on Form S-3 or any successor form, to the extent such form is available to the Parent -13- at such time, based upon the Appraisal Price of the Sponsor Shares pursuant to a new Appraisal Process (which shall not count towards the limits in Section 4.1(b)) initiated at the time the Sponsor Group elects to exercise the exchange rights hereunder and the fair market value of the Parent's common stock determined by the average closing price of the Parent's common stock for the 45-day trading period immediately prior to the date of the exchange for Parent common stock (the "Exchange"). To the extent the number of shares to be received by Sponsors at the Appraisal Price constitutes more than 19.9% of the outstanding capital stock of Parent (as determined pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange), then each Sponsor will receive the balance in cash as a pro rata portion of the Appraisal Price. Upon written notice to Parent, the Company and the other Sponsors of the Sponsor Group's election to consummate such Exchange (the "Exchange Notice"), each of Parent and the Company shall (i) provide each Sponsor with prompt notice regarding any and all approvals, consents, notifications, waivers, filings, amendments and other legal requirements applicable to it and necessary for the consummation of the proposed Exchange, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals, consents, notifications, waivers, filings and amendments and shall comply with all such other legal requirements in a timely fashion, and (ii) take all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the consummation of the Exchange. In no event shall any Sponsor be required to make any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or agreements (other than representations and indemnities with respect to such Sponsor's ownership of its Shares, its ability to consummate the Exchange and investment representations required under applicable securities laws) in connection with any Exchange. ARTICLE V TAKE-ALONG RIGHT 5.1 Take-Along Right. (a) If the Sponsor Group and Parent, acting together, elect to consummate, or to cause the Company to consummate, a transaction constituting a Sale of the Company, the Sponsor Group and Parent shall notify the Company and the other Stockholders in writing of that election, the other Stockholders will consent to and raise no objections to the proposed transaction, and the Stockholders and the Company will take all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable to cause the consummation of such Sale of the Company on the terms proposed by Sponsor Group and Parent. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) if the proposed Sale of the Company is structured as a sale of assets or a merger or consolidation, or otherwise requires Stockholder approval, the Stockholders and the Company will vote or cause to be voted all Shares that they hold or with respect to which such Stockholder has the power to direct the voting and which are entitled to vote on such transaction in favor of such transaction and will waive any appraisal rights which they may have in connection therewith and (ii) if the proposed Sale of the Company is structured as or involves a sale or redemption of Shares, the Stockholders will agree to sell their pro-rata share of the Shares being sold in such Sale of the Company on the terms and conditions approved by the Sponsor Group and Parent, and the Stockholders will execute any Definitive Sale Agreements, and will make to the buyer the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements (other than non-competition agreements) as the Sponsors make in connection with such Sale of the Company (except that in the case of representations and warranties pertaining specifically to, or covenants made specifically by, any -14- Sponsor, the other Stockholders shall make comparable representations and warranties pertaining specifically to (and, as applicable, covenants by) themselves), and must agree to bear their ratable share (which shall be proportionate based on the value of Shares that are being sold in such Sale of the Company) of all liabilities of the Stockholders arising out of representations, warranties (other than those representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements that pertain specifically to a given Stockholder), covenants, indemnities or other agreements made in the Definitive Sale Agreements. (b) The obligations of the Stockholders with respect to the Sale of the Company are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company, all of the holders of Shares shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per Share, or if any holders of a particular class or series of securities are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of such class or series will be given the same option, (ii) all holders of rights without regard to vesting or exercise restrictions to acquire a particular class or series of securities will be given an opportunity to either (A) exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Company and participate in such sale as holders of such Securities or (B) upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company, receive in exchange for such rights consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per share, unit or amount of Shares received by the holders of such type and class of Shares in connection with the Sale of the Company less the exercise price per share, unit or amount of such rights to acquire such Shares by (2) the number of shares, units or aggregate amount of Shares represented by such rights, and (iii) in no event shall the aggregate liability of any Stockholder for representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or agreements (other than with respect to such Stockholder's ownership of its Shares, its ability to consummate the transfer thereof, and investment representations required under applicable securities laws) with respect to any Sale of the Company exceed the proceeds received by such Stockholder in such Sale of the Company. (c) Each Stockholder will bear its or his pro-rata share (based upon the relative amount of Shares sold) of the reasonable and customary costs of any sale of Shares pursuant to a Sale of the Company to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for its or his sole benefit will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder. In the event that any transaction that the Sponsor Group and Parent, acting together, elect to consummate or cause to be consummated pursuant to this Article V is not consummated for any reason, the Company will reimburse the Sponsors and Parent for all actual and reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Sponsors and Parent in connection therewith. ARTICLE VI REDEMPTION RIGHTS 6.1 Redemption of Sponsor Shares. At any time prior to a Public Offering becoming effective: -15- (a) Parent shall provide the Sponsors with no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any event that will constitute a Parent Change of Control. If the Sponsor Group gives notice of its election (such election to be called the "Redemption Notice") within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice from the Parent, to have the Parent purchase the Sponsor Shares, then, upon consummation of such Parent Change of Control (the "Redemption Date"), the Parent shall be required to purchase, at the Redemption Price (as defined below), all of the Shares then held by the Sponsors (the "Redemption Shares"). The Redemption Notice must request redemption of all, and not less than all, of the Shares held by the Sponsors. (b) For purposes of this provision, a "Parent Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred when there has occurred (i) an acquisition by any "person" (as that term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (or any successor item, regulation or act to the same effect)) of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of securities of Parent representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of Parent's then outstanding securities; (ii) an acquisition by any "person" (as that term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (or any successor item, regulation or act to the same effect)) of the right to appoint a majority of Parent's board of directors; or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent. (c) The purchase price for each Redemption Share (the "Redemption Price") shall be the Appraisal Price of each share of the Company's Common Stock on the date that the applicable Redemption Notice is first given under Section 6.1 (the "Determination Date"). (d) In consideration of the purchase of the Redemption Shares hereunder, the Parent shall deliver to each Sponsor on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price for its Shares, in cash by certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 6.2 Redemption Closing. The closing of the purchase of the Redemption Shares being redeemed by the Sponsors (the "Redemption Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m. at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 100 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110 on the applicable Redemption Date, or at such other time and place as the Sponsors and the Parent may agree. The Sponsors shall deliver to the Parent at the Closing a certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares redeemed hereunder together with executed stock powers. 6.3 Failure to Redeem. If the Parent fails to purchase all of the Redemption Shares on the Redemption Date, then the Parent shall be deemed to have breached Section 6.1 hereof. If the Parent's breach is due to insufficient funds, then those funds which are available to the Parent will be used to purchase, pro rata, based on the aggregate Redemption Price payable to each Sponsor, the maximum possible number of Redemption Shares. Any subsequent purchase by the Parent shall be for the remaining Redemption Shares of each Sponsor, allocated pro rata based on each Sponsor's ownership of the remaining Redemption Shares. In the event of such a breach, in addition to any other remedies available to the Sponsors at law or in equity, between the Redemption Date and such time as the purchase is completed, the Redemption Price for each Sponsor's Shares shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded annually; provided that such rate shall increase by 2% on the date that is six (6) months after the Redemption Date, and subject to applicable law, shall further increase by an additional 2% on -16- the last day of every quarter thereafter, until such Redemption Shares are fully purchased by the Parent. If the Parent purchases fewer than all of the Redemption Shares offered for purchase, the holders of the Shares not redeemed shall continue to receive the benefit of the rights and privileges afforded the Shares hereunder. ARTICLE VII PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS 7.1 Issuance of New Shares. (a) Purchase Rights. If at any time after the date of this Agreement the Company proposes to issue or sell any Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or securities convertible into equity securities of the Company (collectively, "New Shares"), the Company shall first offer to sell to each Stockholder (other than any Management Holder, as to whom this Section 7.1 shall not apply) a portion of each type of such New Shares equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the number of Shares held or beneficially owned by such Stockholder, by (y) the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale. A Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of its respective portion (as determined in the immediately preceding sentence) of such New Shares at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms as such New Shares are to be offered. The holders of Shares shall further have a right of over-allotment such that to the extent a Stockholder (a "Rejecting Holder") does not does not exercise its right to purchase any of the New Shares, or exercises its rights for less than all of its pro rata share of the New Shares (as determined above), then each other Stockholder may elect to purchase its pro rata share (as determined above) of such New Shares which the Rejecting Holder does not elect to purchase. (b) Offer Period. In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, each Stockholder must, within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the New Shares being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms, the percentage of the New Shares initially available to such holder pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and the over-allotment right available in connection therewith, deliver a written notice to the Company describing its election to exercise its purchase rights hereunder. (c) Expiration of Offer Period. Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, the Company shall be entitled to sell such New Shares which the Stockholders have not elected to purchase during the 180 days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 7.1(a). Any New Shares to be sold by the Company after such 180-day period must be reoffered to the Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1. (d) Exceptions to Purchase Rights. The provisions of this Section 7.1 will not apply to the following issuances of New Shares: 1. Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or to be issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company, pursuant to the SIP (it being acknowledged that Common -17- Stock or Common Stock Equivalents will not be issued to Sponsors under this Section 7.1(d)(1), or to their director designees (other than pursuant to a grant for a number of shares also granted to the independent directors of the Company)), 2. Equity Securities issued in respect of or in exchange for Shares by way of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction, and 3. Equity Securities issued in the first Public Offering approved by the Board in accordance with the terms hereof. ARTICLE VIII BOARD OBSERVERS AND ACCESS 8.1 Board Representation and Access. The Company agrees as follows: (a) In the event that either THL or TPG loses its right to designate all of its directors pursuant to Section 2.1(b), such Sponsor (an "Affected Sponsor") shall have the right to designate an employee of such Sponsor or its Affiliates as a non-voting observer (a "Non-Voting Observer") to the Board and who shall be such Sponsor's initial designee as a director of the Company so long as they are principals of such Sponsor, and any replacement shall be a principals of such Sponsor.

The Non-Voting Observer shall have a duty of confidentiality to the Company comparable to the duty of confidentiality of a director of the Company. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an issue is to be discussed or otherwise arises at any meeting of the Board or any committee of the Board which, in the reasonable judgment of the Board or a majority of the members of such committee, based on advice of legal counsel, cannot be discussed in the presence of the Non-Voting Observer in order to avoid a conflict of interest on the part of the Non-Voting Observer or to preserve an attorney-client or accountant-client or any other available privilege, then such issue may be discussed without the Non-Voting Observer being present and may be deleted from any materials being -18- distributed in connection with any meeting at which such issues are to be discussed, so long as the Non-Voting Observer is given notice of the occurrence of such meeting and the deletion of such materials. (b) The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, upon reasonable notice at reasonable times from time to time, provide each Sponsor (and any other parent company of such Sponsor that is a venture capital operating company), at the sole expense of such Sponsor, reasonable opportunities to routinely consult with and advise the management of the Company and its subsidiaries on all matters relating to the operation of the Company and each such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, with respect to any proposed merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or capital stock, liquidation or dissolution of or by the Company or other similar corporation transaction, and shall consider, in good faith, the recommendations of each Sponsor in connection with the matters on which it is consulted; provided that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Company and the Company shall not be under any obligation to accept the recommendations of any Sponsor.

Any such visit will be at the expense of such Sponsor (or such other parent company of such Sponsor that is a venture capital operating company). (c) If (i) reasonably required, in order to qualify any of the Shares as a venture capital investment (as defined in the Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101) or (ii) any Sponsor is unable for any reason (including pursuant to this Agreement) to appoint a Non-Voting Observer to the Board (and each of the committees, except the compensation committee, thereof), then the Company shall promptly provide true and correct copies of all documents, reports, financial data, and such additional financial and other information with respect to the Company, and its subsidiaries as such Sponsor (and any other parent company of such Sponsor that is a venture capital operating company) may from time to time reasonably request. (d) The Company's obligations pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall survive until a Public Offering, and the Company's obligations pursuant to Section 8.1(b) and (c) shall survive with respect to each Sponsor until the later of (i) a Public Offering, or (ii) until such Sponsor holds less than 20% of its initial equity investment in the Company. -19- 8.2 Information Rights.

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth or as referenced below: "Affiliate" of any particular Person means any other Person Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control with such particular Person or, in the case of a natural Person, any other member of such Person's Family Group. "Agreement" has the meaning set forth in the preamble. "Appraisal Price" means the "fair market value" of each Share determined in accordance with this definition by one or more of the following independent investment banking firms (the "Firms") acting as an appraiser (an "Appraiser"): Bank of America Securities, LLC, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley, provided that if all such Firms have been exhausted by either having already rendered a valuation or the Sponsor Group or Parent has approached such Firms to engage them and such Firms have declined such engagement, then the parties will cooperate and use their reasonable -21- best efforts to mutually agree upon another independent, nationally recognized investment banking firm. Each party who selects an Appraiser must make such selection within fifteen (15) days of the event triggering the Appraisal. Each party selecting an Appraiser hereunder shall direct the Appraiser to deliver its valuation within thirty (30) days of being retained, and such party shall cooperate with the Appraiser and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such valuation to be delivered within such time frame. The expenses of any Appraiser engaged in connection with the Appraisal Process shall be divided evenly among the parties. The Appraisal Price shall be determined as follows: (a) Each Appraiser retained hereunder shall determine the fair market per share value of the Sponsor Shares assuming the sale of the entire equity interest of the Company to an independent willing buyer in an arms'-length transaction under then current prevailing market conditions for the sale of all of the stock of comparable business enterprises intended for continued use as part of a going concern. Each Appraiser shall assume that in any such transaction each shareholder of the Company would receive the same per share consideration, and the Appraiser shall not apply any discount for minority interest or illiquidity of the Sponsor Shares, nor any control premium. (b) The initial Appraiser shall be selected by the Sponsor Group (the "Sponsor Appraiser"). If the Parent does not accept the per share valuation arrived at by the Sponsor Appraiser, then the Parent shall promptly notify each Sponsor thereof and Parent shall retain one of the Firms as a second Appraiser (the "Parent Appraiser"). (c) If a valuation is delivered by the Parent Appraiser in accordance with paragraph (b), and the Parent Appraiser and the Sponsor Appraiser arrive at per share valuations (the "Initial Valuations") within ten percent (10%) of each other, the mathematical mean of the Initial Valuations shall be deemed to be the Appraisal Price. If such Appraisers shall arrive at Initial Valuations that are not within ten percent (10%) of each other but are within twenty percent (20%) of each other, then the Parent Appraiser and the Sponsor Appraiser, as soon as reasonably practicable, shall jointly retain a Firm to act as a third Appraiser (the "Third Appraiser") on reasonable terms agreed to by the Sponsor Group and Parent in good faith. In the event the valuation of the Third Appraiser is greater than the higher of the Initial Valuations, then the Appraisal Price shall be the higher of the Initial Valuations. In the event the valuation of the Third Appraiser is less than the lower of the Initial Valuations, the Appraisal Price shall be the lower of the Initial Valuations. If the valuation of the Third Appraiser is not greater than the higher of the Initial Valuations or lower than the lower of the Initial Valuations, the Appraisal Price shall be the mathematical mean of (i) the per share valuation arrived at by the Third Appraiser, and (ii) the Initial Valuation that is closest to that of the per share valuation arrived at by the Third Appraiser. -22- (d) If the Initial Valuations are not within twenty percent (20%) of each other, then neither valuation shall be used and the Sponsor Group will retain a new Firm to act as Sponsor Appraiser (the "Second Sponsor Appraiser") and Parent shall retain a new Firm to act as Parent Appraiser (the "Second Parent Appraiser"). If the per share valuations arrived at by the Second Sponsor Appraiser and Second Parent Appraiser (the "Second Valuations") are within twenty percent (20%) of each other, then the Appraisal Price shall be determined as set forth in paragraph (c) above. If the Second Valuations are not within twenty percent (20%) of each other, then the Second Valuations shall not be used and the Second Parent Appraiser and the Second Sponsor Appraiser, as soon as reasonably practicable, shall jointly select a Firm to act as a final Appraiser (the "Final Appraiser") on reasonable terms agreed to by the Sponsor Group and Parent in good faith. So long as the valuation of the Final Appraiser is not higher than the higher of the Second Valuations or lower than the lower of the Second Valuations, the valuation arrived at by the Final Appraiser shall be deemed to be the Appraisal Price. In the event the valuation of the Final Appraiser is greater than the higher of the Second Valuations, then the Appraisal Price shall be the higher of the Second Valuations. In the event the valuation of the Final Appraiser is less than the lower of the Second Valuations, the Appraisal Price shall be the lower of the Second Valuations.

ARTICLE 2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 2.1 Demand Registrations. (a) Requests for Registration of Registrable Shares Owned by the Sponsors. Subject to the provisions of this Article 2, each of (i) FNF and (ii) subject to the provisions of 2.1(f), each of (A) the THL Holders and (B) the TPG Holders shall have the right to request registration under the Securities Act (the "Demand Right") of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares held by such Securityholders by delivering a written notice to the principal business office of the Company, which notice identifies the Person(s) requesting registration (the "Requesting Holders") and specifies the number of Registrable Shares to be included in such registration (the "Registration Request"); provided, unless FNF and the Sponsor Group otherwise consent, if the Company has not already consummated a Public Offering, the initial Demand Right must be for a Qualified Public Offering. Any such requested registration shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Demand Registration." With respect to any Demand Registration, the Requesting Holders may request the Company to effect a registration of the Registrable Shares under a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a "Shelf Registration"). 4 (b) Request for Registration of Registrable Shares by the Company for its own Account. Subject to the provisions of this Article 2, each of (i) FNF, and (ii) the holders of at least 75% of the Registrable Shares then owned by the THL Holders and the TPG Holders (such holders, the "Sponsor Group") shall have the right to request the issuance and registration by the Company under the Securities Act in an initial Qualified Public Offering of newly issued shares of Common Stock (a "Company Qualified Public Offering"), by delivering a Registration Request; provided, however, that in no event will a Company Qualified Public Offering require the Company to issue a number of shares in excess of the 1.5 Cap or the 1.75 Cap as applicable. (c) Effecting the Registration. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(f), the Company will give prompt written notice of any such Registration Request (the "Registration Notice") to all other holders of Registrable Shares and will thereupon use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act on any form available to the Company of: (i) in the case of a Company Qualified Public Offering, the Registrable Shares required to be registered by the Company; (ii) the Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the Requesting Holders; and (iii) all other Registrable Shares of the same type and class which the Company has received a written request to register pursuant to Section 2.2(a) within 10 days after notice is given by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and any securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account (provided such securities shall be of the same class required to be registered under Section 2.1(a)). (d) Preservation of Demand Registration. A registration undertaken by the Company at the request of the Requesting Holder under Section 2.1(a) will not count as a Demand Registration: (i) if, pursuant to the Demand Right, the Requesting Holders are unable to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by them, unless such failure results from any act of, or failure to act by, any of the Requesting Holders; (ii) if the Requesting Holders withdraw their Registration Request prior to the time the Registration Statement therefor is declared effective and promptly reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with effecting such registration, such Registration Request shall not count as a Demand Registration so long as this provision has not been 5 previously utilized by the Sponsor Group within the immediately preceding 18 months; or (iii) if the Requesting Holders withdraw a Registration Request upon the determination of the board of directors of the Company to postpone the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1(f). (e) Priority on Demand Registration. If the sole or managing underwriter of a Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that in its reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Shares and other securities requested to be included exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, the Company will include in such registration the Registrable Shares in the following priority: (i) first, in the event of a Company Qualified Public Offering, the greatest number of securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold; and (ii) second, after all securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account have been included in the case of a Company Qualified Public Offering, the greatest amount of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the holders thereof which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, ratably among the holders of Registrable Shares (whether requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2) based on the respective amounts of Registrable Shares requested to be included by each such holder. (f) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1(f), following the Company's initial Public Offering, the Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) more than two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to a Demand Right exercised by the THL Holders under Section 2.1(a), and (ii) more than two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to a Demand Right exercised by the TPG Holders under Section 2.1(a). No Securityholder may exercise a Demand Right under this Section 2.1 unless the reasonably anticipated gross proceeds of the resulting offering would exceed $75,000,000. Any Demand Registration requested must be for a firmly underwritten public offering of Registrable Shares to be managed by an underwriter or underwriters of recognized national standing selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holders. The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation thereof) of a Registration Statement to effect a Demand Registration 6 if, after a request is made, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with independent outside counsel, that the filing of a Registration Statement would require disclosure in the Registration Statement of material, non-public information in order to make the statements in the Registration Statement not misleading which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, and disclosure of which would have an adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company may defer the registration under this paragraph (f) pursuant to the preceding sentence until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or disclosure of which would no longer be material or materially detrimental or (B) 90 days after the Company first makes such good faith determination; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right to defer more than once in any twelve-month period. (g) Stock Splits. In connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1, each party to this Agreement will vote, or cause to be voted, all securities of the Company over which it has the power to vote or direct the voting to effect any stock split which, in the opinion of the sole or managing underwriter, is necessary to facilitate the effectiveness of such Demand Registration. (h) Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company or any incidental or "piggy-back" rights that are superior or pari pasu with respect to any equity security of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor Group. 2.2 Incidental Registration. (a) Requests for Incidental Registration. At any time the Company proposes to register for a Public Offering any Common Stock under the Securities Act, including registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company will give written notice to each holder of Registrable Shares at least 20 days prior to the initial filing of such Registration Statement with the SEC of its intent to file such Registration Statement (or, if earlier, within 5 business days of receipt of a Registration Notice) and of such holder's rights under this Section 2.2. Upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Shares made within 10 days after any such notice is given by the Company (which request shall specify the Registrable Shares intended to be disposed of by such holder), the Company will effect the registration (an "Incidental Registration") under the Securities Act of all Registrable Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the holders thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Incidental Registration (each an "Incidental Registration Statement"), (i) the Company shall determine not to register such securities for its own account (provided such Company-initiated registration is not pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof) or to defer the registration of such securities in accordance with Section 2.1(f), or 7 (ii) the Securityholder exercising a Demand Right shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company or such Securityholder, as the case may be, at its election, may give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Shares and, thereupon, (a) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares under this Section 2.2 or under Section 2.1 in connection with such particular registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses incurred in connection therewith) and (b) in the case of a determination to delay registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Shares under this Section 2.2 or under Section 2.1 during the period that the registration of such other securities is delayed. (b) Priority on Incidental Registration. If the sole or managing underwriter of a registration advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of Registrable Shares and other securities requested to be included exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, the Company will include in such registration the Registrable Shares and other securities of the Company in the following order of priority: (i) first, in the event of a Company-initiated registration, the greatest number of securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold; and (ii) second, after all securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account have been included in the event of a Company-initiated registration, the greatest amount of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the holders thereof which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, ratably among the holders of Registrable Shares (whether requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2) based on the respective amounts of Registrable Shares requested to be included by each such holder. 2.3 Registration on Form S-3 (a) Request for Registration. After twelve (12) months following the initial Public Offering of the Company's securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act, if FNF or any of the Sponsors request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3), or any similar short-form registration statement, for a Public Offering of Registrable Shares, the reasonably anticipated gross proceeds from the sale of such Registrable Shares would exceed $25,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to 8 use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Shares for such an offering, the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Company of such notice, give written notice of such proposed registration to all other Securityholders and (ii) as soon as practicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Shares to be registered on such form for the offering and to cause such Registrable Shares to be qualified in such jurisdictions as the Securityholders may reasonably request together with all or such portion of the Registrable Shares of any Securityholders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. After the Company's first Public Offering, the Company will use its best efforts to qualify for and remain eligible to use Form S-3 registration or a similar short-form registration. For the avoidance of doubt, a registration under this Section 2.3(a) shall not be considered to be a Demand Registration for any purpose. (b) Deferral of Filing. The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation thereof) of a Registration Statement required by Section 2.3 if, after a request is made, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with independent outside counsel, that the filing of a Registration Statement would require disclosure in the Registration Statement of material, non-public information in order to make the statements in the Registration Statement not misleading which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, and disclosure of which would have an adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company may defer the registration under this paragraph (b) pursuant to the preceding sentence until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or disclosure would no longer be material or materially detrimental or (B) 90 days after the Company first makes such good faith determination; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right to defer more than once in any twelve-month period. 2.4 Holdback Agreements. Each Securityholder agrees that if requested in connection with any Public Offering made pursuant to this Agreement for which a Securityholder has registration rights pursuant to this Article 2 by the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering, such Securityholder will enter into an agreement with the underwriters on customary terms regarding restrictions on the ability of the Securityholders, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, to sell their Registrable Shares during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus to such Public Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter; provided, that (i) the date so specified will be no later than (A) 180 days after the date of such final prospectus in the case of an initial Public Offering, and (B) 90 days after the date of such final prospectus for any subsequent Public Offering, and will be the same for all Securityholders that enter into such agreements, and (ii) all executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's capital stock and directors enter into such agreements. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to 9 the Registrable Shares of each Securityholder (and the shares or securities of every other person listed in clause (ii) above) until the end of such period. 2.5 Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration of any Registrable Shares, the Company shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on a form available for the sale of the Registrable Shares by the holders thereof in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and cause each such Registration Statement to become effective; (b) (i) Except in the case of a Shelf Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by any Sponsor (if such Sponsor is registering securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) or necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of (A) 90 days from the effective date and (B) such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented; and (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statements in compliance with the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares subject thereto for a period ending on the earlier of the date on which all the Registrable Shares subject thereto have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or two (2) years after effectiveness of the S-3.

The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Shares, the officers, directors, agents, partners and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), the officers, directors, agents, partners and employees of each such controlling person and any financial or investment adviser (each, an "Indemnified Party"), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened), reasonable costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and reasonable expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation) (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplements thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that the same arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party or the related holder of Registrable Shares expressly for use therein or (ii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Shares or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) such Person failed to send or deliver a copy of the prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Person to the Person asserting the claim from which such Losses arise, (ii) the prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, and (iii) the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 2.5(c). Each indemnity and reimbursement of costs and expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party. (b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Shares is participating, such holder, or an authorized officer of such holder, shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus and agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or form of prospectus, or arising out of or based upon 15 any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement is contained in, or such omission or alleged omission is required to be contained in, any information so furnished in writing by such holder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus and that such statement or omission was relied upon by the Company in preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or form of prospectus; provided, however, that such holder of Registrable Shares shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that the holder has furnished in writing to the Company within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto information expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading, information previously furnished to the Company, and the Company failed to include such information therein. In no event shall the liability of any Selling Securityholder of Registrable Shares hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of payment of all expenses) received by such holder upon the sale of the Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party. (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "indemnified party"), such indemnified party shall give prompt notice to the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the "indemnifying parties") of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or written threat thereof (a "Proceeding") with respect to which such indemnified party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying parties shall not relieve the indemnifying parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the indemnifying parties have been prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying parties shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an indemnified party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such indemnified party of such Proceeding, to assume, at the indemnifying parties' expense, the defense of any such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified party or parties (if more than one such indemnified party is named in any Proceeding) shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless: (i) the indemnifying parties agree to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying parties fail promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding or fail to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party or parties and the indemnifying parties or an affiliate of the indemnifying parties or such indemnified parties, and there may be one or more defenses available to such indemnified party or parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying parties, in which case, if such indemnified party or parties notifies the indemnifying parties in 16 writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying parties, the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying parties, it being understood, however, that, unless there exists a conflict among indemnified parties, the indemnifying parties shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such indemnified party or parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying parties, such indemnifying parties or indemnified party or parties will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its or their consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying parties shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) provides for other than monetary damages without the consent of the indemnified party or parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party or parties of a release, in form and substance satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties, from all liability in respect of such Proceeding for which such indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 2.7 would otherwise apply by its terms, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall have an obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) was available to such party. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.7(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7(d), an indemnifying party that is a Selling Securityholder of Registrable Shares shall not be required to contribute any 17 amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party in the offering to which such claims relates exceeds the amount of any damages that such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reasons of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 2.8 Rule 144. At all times after the Company effects its first Public Offering, the Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Shares, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 2.9 Underwritten Registrations. (a) No holder of Registrable Shares may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such holder (A) agrees to sell such holder's Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (B) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. (b) In the case of an underwritten offering requested by holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for each class of Registrable Shares of the related underwriting agreement shall be determined by the Securityholders initially exercising such Demand Rights or rights under Section 2.3 and be acceptable to the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the case of any underwritten offering pursuant to a Company initiated offering, such price, discount and other terms shall be determined by the Company, subject to the right of the holders requesting to participate pursuant to Section 2.2(a) to withdraw their request to participate in the registration after being advised of such price, discount and other terms. 2.10 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not and will not, enter into any agreement with respect to the Company's securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Shares in this Article 2 or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 18 ARTICLE 3 TERMINATION 3.1 Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate when there shall no longer be any Registrable Shares outstanding. ARTICLE 4 MISCELLANEOUS 4.1 Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if made by hand delivery, by telex, by telecopier or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows (or at such other address as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided): If to the Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. 601 Riverside Avenue Jacksonville, FL 32204 Attention: Gregory S.
