Transition Agreement, Wavier & Release (An Amendment to the Employment Agreement), effective February 1, 2018 by and between Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and Michael P. Oates

In consideration for the mutual promises in this Transition Agreement, Waiver and Release (“Agreement”), Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates (“Company”), and Michael P. Oates (“Employee”) agree as follows. This Agreement is intended to amend the Employment Agreement between the parties dated October 1, 2009, as amended on February 8, 2012, January 29, 2013 and February 23, 2016 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”). To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Employment Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Any term of the Employment Agreement not addressed herein shall remain in effect.

1.    Term. On February 1, 2018 (the “Transition Date”), the Employee will cease to serve as Chief Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company, but will retain the role of Executive Vice President until the later of May 1, 2018 or a date mutually agreed upon by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Employee (such date to be the “Termination Date”). On the Termination Date, the Employee’s employment with the Company will terminate without further action of the parties. Between the Transition Date and the Termination Date, Employee will work to transition the duties of the Corporate Secretary to the person designated by the CEO. Employee hereby waives, and the Company also hereby waives on behalf of itself and its affiliates, any notice of termination requirement set forth in the Employment Agreement.

2.    Compensation. From the Transition Date through the Termination Date, the Company shall continue Employee’s base salary ($650,000) and annual bonus opportunity (135%) at the levels in place as of the execution of this Agreement. Employee will not, however, be eligible for an annual equity grant in 2018.

3.    Nature of Termination. The Company and the Employee agree that the material diminution in Employee’s managerial authority, duties and responsibilities associated with eliminating the duties and responsibilities of the Chief Administrative Officer constitutes Good Reason for termination of the Employment Agreement by the Employee under Section 8(f) of the Employment Agreement. As such, the parties acknowledge that the Employee is entitled to all payments and benefits listed uner Section 9(a) of the Employment Agreement. At the request of the Company, the Employee agrees to defer payment of the amounts due until on or after the Termination Dates, as describe below.

4.    Severance Amount. Per the Employment Agreement and as consideration for Employee entering into this Agreement, Company will pay Employee the following amounts which, together, shall be considered the “Severance Amount.” Employee agrees that the Severance Amount satisfies all of the Company’s obligations to him under the Employment Agreement. The following payments shall be subject to applicable tax related payroll deductions and to Section 23 below:

5.    The Employee affirms that payment of the Severance Amount, as detailed above, will satisfy all compensation, wages, bonuses and/or benefits to which Employee is entitled by virtue of his Employment Agreement or otherwise.

6.    In consideration for the benefits provided herein, the Employee agrees that the non-competition and non-solicitation obligations set forth in Section 12 of the Employment Agreement will be amended as set forth below:

“(b) After Employment Term. The parties acknowledge that Employee will acquire substantial knowledge and information concerning the business of Company and its affiliates as a result of employment. The parties further acknowledge that the scope of business in which Company and its affiliates are engaged as of the Effective Date is international and very competitive and one in which few companies can successfully compete. Competition by Employee in that business after the Employment Term would severely injure Company and its affiliates.

In this paragraph 12(b),

For a period of one (1) year after the Termination Date, Employee agrees that, in the Restricted Territory, Employee will not, directly or indirectly; (i) become an employee, consultant, advisor, principal, partner or substantial shareholder of any Competitive Business; (ii) become an employee, consultant, advisor, principal, partner or substantial shareholder of any Customer or Prospective Customer; or (iii) solicit or accept any business that directly competes with Company or its affiliates in their principal products and markets from any Customer or Prospective Customer. In addition, for a period of one (1) year after the Termination Date, Employee agrees not to, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any Competitive Business, hire or solicit for employment, partnership or engagement as an independent

contractor any person who, as of the Termination Date, was an employee of Company or any affiliate.

Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees with the reasonableness of the post-employment restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 11 and 12 and acknowledges and agrees not to contest their enforcement in a court of competent jurisdiction on such grounds. Employee agrees that Company's remedy at law for a breach of Paragraphs 11 or 12 would be inadequate and that for a breach of these covenants Company will, in addition to other remedies provided for in this Agreement or by law, be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief prohibiting Employee from committing or continuing to commit any such breach.

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the restrictions in this Paragraph 12 are overbroad. Employee agrees to modification of the affected restriction(s) to permit enforcement to the maximum extent allowed by law."

7.    The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the later of the date the Agreement is executed by the Company or the eighth (8^th) day after Employee has executed and returned it to the Company.

8.    Employee (on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s agents, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators) hereby releases and discharges Company, its parent corporations, affiliates, subsidiaries, owners, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Company Released Parties”) from any claim, demand, action, or cause of action, known or unknown, which arose at any time up to the date Employee signs this Agreement relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with the Employee’s employment with the Company or the ending of that employment (collectively, “Released Claims”), and waives all rights relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with any Released Claim, including, without limitation, any claim, demand, action, cause of action or right based on but not limited to: (a) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq.; (b) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq; (c) the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as reenacted, 42 U.S. C.

Stat., as amended; (i) the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (“FLSA”), as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq., or any other wage law; (j) any existing employment agreement (including any claim to any payment or other benefit provided for in Section 9 (a) or (c) of the Employment Agreement) or potential entitlement under any Company program or plan; and (k) any duty or other employment-related obligation arising under the law of contract, tort or from any other type of statute, law or public policy including, but not limited to, section 440.205 of the Florida Statutes.
