(the “Company”) grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant.
(b) Plan and Defined Terms. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan. All terms, provisions, and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein are hereby incorporated by reference herein. To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent with a provision of the Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

All capitalized terms that are used in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant or this Agreement and not otherwise defined therein or herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
Section 2. | FORFEITURE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS |
(a) Forfeiture. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to forfeiture until the Restricted Stock vests. The Restricted Stock shall vest, in accordance with Exhibit A; however, provided that:
(i) If the Grantee’s service as director of the Company terminates for any reason, then all unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited, provided that;
(ii) If the Grantee’s service as a director of the Company terminates due to death or Disability (as defined below), prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock but after the Performance Restriction has been met, then all such unvested Restricted Stock with no remaining Performance Restriction shall vest as of the final date of the Grantee’s service as director and become free of any forfeiture and transfer restrictions described in the Agreement.
(iii) The term “Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Grantee’s employment agreement with the Company, or any Affiliate or Subsidiary. If the Grantee’s employment agreement does not define the term “Disability,” or if the Grantee has not entered into an employment agreement with the Company, or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, the term “Disability” shall mean the Grantee’s termination of service as director with entitlement to long-term disability benefits pursuant to the long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or in which the Company’s employees participate.
(b) Transfer Restrictions. During the Period of Restriction, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent such Restricted Stock is subject to a Period of Restriction. Grantee is subject to the Company’s hedging and pledging policy, which prohibits (i) directly or indirectly engaging in hedging or monetization transactions with the Restricted Stock; (ii) engaging in short sale transactions with the Restricted Stock and; (iii) pledging the Restricted Stock as collateral for a loan, including through the use of traditional margin accounts with a broker.
(c)Lapse of Restrictions. The Period of Restriction shall lapse as to the Restricted Stock in accordance with the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant.

If a certificate is issued, it shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions and it shall be held by the Company, or its agent, on behalf of the Grantee until the Period of Restriction has lapsed. If the Shares are registered in book-entry form, the restrictions shall be placed on the book-entry registration. The Grantee may be required to execute and return to the Company a blank stock power for each Restricted Stock certificate (or instruction letter, with respect to Shares registered in book-entry form), which will permit transfer to the Company, without further action, of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock that is forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Except for the transfer and dividend restrictions, and subject to such other restrictions, if any, as determined by the Company, the Grantee shall have all other rights of a holder of Shares, including the right to vote (or to execute proxies for voting) such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if all or part of a dividend in respect of the Restricted Stock is paid in Shares or any other security issued by the Company, such Shares or other securities shall be held by the Company subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock in respect of which the dividend was paid.
SECTION 5: DIVIDENDS

b. | Such held dividends shall be subject to the same Period of Restriction as the Shares to which they relate. |

d. | Dividends attributable to Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall be forfeited to the Company on the date such Shares are forfeited. |
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(a)Acknowledgements. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she has read and understands the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees to be bound by their respective terms and conditions. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be tax consequences upon the vesting or transfer of the Restricted Stock and that the Grantee should consult an independent tax advisor.
(b)Tax Withholding. Pursuant to Article 20 of the Plan, the Company shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantee’s FICA taxes) required by law to be withheld with respect to this Award. The Company may condition the delivery of Shares upon the Grantee’s satisfaction of such withholding obligations. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirement by tendering previously-owned Shares or by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory withholding (based on minimum statutory withholding

(h) Severability.

EXHIBIT A
Vesting and Restrictions
This grant is subject to both a Performance Restriction and a Time-Based Restriction, as described below (collectively, the “Period of Restriction”).
Performance Restriction
One-third of the Restricted Stock can be earned based on company performance in each of the calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

EBITDA includes earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and excludes, M&A related costs, asset impairment charges, foreign exchange rates and other non-GAAP adjustments, with the goal being to measure on a consistent basis management’s execution against the 2016 EBITDA plan. The Committee will evaluate whether the Performance Restriction has been achieved following the completion and filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for each of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Time-Based Restrictions
In order for any earned Restricted Stock to vest, (after the Performance Restriction has been achieved for a particular calendar year), the grantee must remain a Director of the Company on each corresponding Grant Date anniversary (the “Time-Based Restrictions”), as indicated in the chart below.
Performance Period | Performance Restriction | Restricted Stock eligible to be earned | Vest Date (Lapse of Time-Based Restrictions) |
