ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND RECORDS
          SECTION 4.1. Access to Information.
     (a) Information Access Available. The Parties intend that effective upon the Asset Contribution, all books and records, documents, agreements, data, files and other materials, whether written or electronically stored (as applicable to each Party, its “Records”), relating to the Subject Companies or the Other Assets, or arising out of or in connection with the operation of the Transferred Business, shall be delivered by FIS to LPS. To the extent that (i) Records owned or in the possession of one Party (in such capacity, the “Providing Party”) created prior to the Distribution Date also include therein (imbedded, as a part of or as a separate segment) information relating to the other Party (in such capacity, the “Requesting Party”) or relating to the Requesting Party’s business, assets, liabilities or operations, then during the Retention Period (as defined in Section 4.3), the Providing Party will provide to the Requesting Party, and will cause its respective Group members and Representatives to provide to the Requesting Party, upon reasonable advance written request and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this Section 4.1, reasonable access during normal business hours and at the expense of the Requesting Party to all such Records owned or in the possession of the Providing Party and its Subsidiaries, if such access is reasonably required by the Requesting Party in connection with the Requesting Party’s financial reporting and accounting matters, the preparation of and filing of any tax returns or the defense of any tax claim or assessment, the prosecution or defense of any litigation or other dispute with third parties, the preparation and filing of reports and other materials with any Governmental Entity or any other bona fide purpose, provided that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Providing Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 4.2 and any other security obligations as the Providing Party may reasonably deem necessary, the Requesting Party may have all requested information duplicated at the Requesting Party’s expense. Alternatively, the Providing Party may choose to deliver, at the Requesting Party’s expense, all requested information to the Requesting Party in the form requested by the Requesting Party. The Providing Party will notify the Requesting Party in writing at the time of delivery if such information is to be returned to the Providing Party. In such case, the Requesting Party will return such information when no longer needed to the Providing Party at the Requesting Party’s expense. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Providing Party hereto will, upon the request of the Requesting Party and upon reasonable advance notice, make available during normal business hours its respective employees (and those employees of its respective Group members and Representatives, as applicable) to the extent that they are reasonably necessary to and explain all requested information with and to the Requesting Party, provided that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Providing Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Providing Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Requesting Party, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (excluding allocated compensation and overhead expenses) as may be reasonably incurred in providing information pursuant to this Section 4.1(a).

LPS will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause LPS’s auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any FIS Public Filings required under any law, rule or regulation. LPS will authorize its auditors to make available to FIS and its auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit of LPS and work papers related to the annual audit of LPS, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the opinion date of FIS’s auditors, so that such auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary within sufficient time to enable FIS to meet a reasonable timetable for the release of the related audited financial statements. If and to the extent requested by FIS, LPS will diligently and promptly review all drafts of such FIS Public Filings and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any portion of such FIS Public Filing pertaining to LPS. Prior to any printing or public release of any FIS Public Filing, an appropriate executive officer of LPS will, if requested by FIS, certify on behalf of LPS that the information relating to LPS or any LPS Subsidiary or the Transferred Business in such FIS Public Filing is accurate, true, complete and correct in all material respects. Prior to the release or filing thereof, FIS will provide LPS with a draft of any portion of an FIS Public Filing containing information relating to LPS or any LPS Subsidiary and will give LPS an opportunity to review such information and comment thereon; provided that FIS will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the final form and content of all FIS Public Filings.

FIS agrees to provide to LPS all information that LPS reasonably requests in connection with any LPS Public Filings or that, in the judgment of LPS, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference therein under any law, rule or regulation.

xiii


 

which FIS otherwise would be required hereunder to have such information available) to enable LPS to prepare, print and release all LPS Public Filings on such dates as LPS will reasonably determine but in no event later than as required by applicable law. FIS will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause FIS’s auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any LPS Public Filings required under any law, rule or regulation. FIS will authorize its auditors to make available to LPS and its auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit of FIS and work papers related to the annual audit of FIS, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the opinion date of LPS’s auditors, so that such auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary within sufficient time to enable LPS to meet a reasonable timetable for the release of the related audited financial statements.

     SECTION 4.2. Restrictions on Disclosure of Information.
     (a) Generally. Without limiting any rights or obligations under any other existing or future agreement between the Parties and/or any other members of their respective Groups relating to confidentiality, until the third anniversary of the Distribution Date, each Party will, and each Party will cause its respective Group members and its Representatives to, hold in confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to FIS’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to its confidentiality policies in effect as of the Asset Contribution Date, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Group that is either in its possession as of the Distribution Date or furnished by the other Group or its respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party, its respective Group members and its Representatives may disclose such information to the extent that such Party can demonstrate that such information is or was (i) in the public domain other than by the breach of this Agreement or by breach of any other agreement between or among the Parties and/or any of their respective Group members relating to confidentiality, or (ii) lawfully acquired from a third Person on a non-confidential basis or independently developed by, or on behalf of, such Party by Persons who do not have access to any such information. Each Party will maintain, and will cause its respective Group members and Representatives to maintain, policies and procedures, and develop such further policies and procedures as will from time to time become necessary or appropriate, to ensure compliance with this Section 4.2.

xiv


 

     (b) Disclosure of Third Person Information. Each Party acknowledges that it and other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary information of third Persons that was received under a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between such third Person and the other Party. Each Party will, and will cause its respective Group members and its Representatives to, hold in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of third Persons to which any member of such Party’s Group has access, in accordance with the terms of any agreements entered into between such third Person and the other Party or a member of the other Party’s Group.
     (c) Legally Required Disclosure of Information. If either Party or any of its respective Group members or Representatives becomes legally required to disclose any information (the “Disclosing Party”) that it is otherwise obligated to hold in strict confidence pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) or 4.2(b), such Party will promptly notify the other Party (the “Owning Party”) and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Owning Party so that the Owning Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Section 4.2. All expenses reasonably incurred by the Disclosing Party in seeking a protective order or other remedy will be borne by the Owning Party. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if the Owning Party waives compliance with this Section 4.2, the Disclosing Party will (a) disclose only that portion of the information which its legal counsel advises it is compelled to disclose or otherwise stand liable for contempt or suffer other similar significant corporate censure or penalty, (b) use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance requested by the Owning Party that confidential treatment will be accorded such information, and (c) promptly provide the Owning Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed.
          SECTION 4.3. Record Retention. LPS will, and will cause each LPS Subsidiary to, adopt and comply with a record retention policy with respect to information owned by or in the possession of LPS or any LPS Subsidiary and which is created prior to the Asset Contribution Date. FIS will, and FIS will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with the FIS record retention policy with respect to information owned by or in the possession of FIS or any FIS Subsidiary and which is created prior to the Asset Contribution Date. Each Party will, at its sole cost and expense, preserve and retain all information in its respective possession or control that the other Party has the right to access pursuant to Section 4.1, or that it is otherwise required to preserve and retain, for such period as is required in accordance with such record retention policy or for any longer period as may be required by (a) any Government Entity, (b) as a result of or otherwise relating to any litigation matter, (c) applicable law, or (d) any agreement relating hereto or executed in connection with the Agreement (as applicable, the “Retention Period”). If either Party wishes to dispose of any information which it is obligated to retain under this Section 4.3 prior to the expiration of the Retention Period, then that Party will first provide 45 days’ written notice to the other Party, and the other Party will have the right, at its option and expense, upon prior written notice within such 45-day period, to take possession of such information within 90 days after the date of the notice provided by the disposing Party pursuant to this Section 4.3. Written notice of intent to dispose of such information will include

xv


 

a description of the information in detail sufficient to allow the other Party to reasonably assess its potential need to retain such materials.
          SECTION 4.4. Production of Witnesses. Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts, to make available to each other, upon written request, its past and present Representatives as witnesses to the extent that any such Representatives may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved. Each Party providing access to witnesses or information to the other Party pursuant to this Section 4.4 will be entitled to receive from the receiving Party, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payment for all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (excluding allocated compensation and overhead expenses) as may be reasonably incurred in providing such witnesses or information.
          SECTION 4.5. Other Agreements Regarding Access to Information.

     (ii) until June 30, 2011, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) maintain all policies of insurance it has in effect on the Distribution Date relating to fiduciary liability and employment practices liability coverage for FIS, its Subsidiaries (including LPS and its Subsidiaries as of the Distribution Date) and their respective directors and officers (including any director or officer of LPS or any subsidiary of LPS acting in his or her capacity as such) generally for the period commencing November 9, 2006 until the Distribution Date (the “Fiduciary and EP Tail Policy”; and together with the D&O Policy, collectively, the “FIS Policies”), and (ii) enable LPS and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent applicable, their respective directors and officers, to benefit from the coverage thereunder.
Until June 30, 2014 in the case of the FIS D&O Policy, and until June 30, 2011 in the case of the Fiduciary and EP Policy, FIS shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the FIS Policies to (i) continue to provide coverage substantially the same as that provided under the policy as in effect on the Distribution Date (the “Existing Insurance”), (ii) be issued by an insurer that has a claims-paying rating at least equal to that of the issuer of the Existing Insurance, and (iii) be on terms and subject to conditions that are no less advantageous to LPS than the Existing Insurance to the extent commercially available.

     (ii) If it appears possible that pending or potential claims by FIS or by its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers or employees, or by any other person, would exceed the limits of the applicable FIS Policy, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a fair allocation of such limits or other appropriate resolution, consistent with the customary allocation methodology utilized by FIS with respect to the premiums, costs and expenses (or such other method as shall be agreed by the Parties). Similarly, if it appears possible that one or more individual claims involving both of FIS and LPS, or their respective Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers or employees, would apply against a single deductible, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a fair allocation of such deductible, consistent with the customary allocation methodology utilized by FIS with respect to the premiums, costs and expenses (or such other method as shall be agreed by the Parties).
     (d) Review of Policies. LPS, its Subsidiaries and each of their directors and officers may review such policies upon request.

ARTICLE VI
TRANSITION LICENSE OF CERTAIN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
          SECTION 6.1. Grant of Transition License for Use of Certain FIS Marks.
     (a) Grant of License. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, FIS on its own behalf and on behalf of all of its Subsidiaries, hereby grants to LPS and its Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, worldwide, revocable, royalty-free license, to use, display and reproduce (i) the name “Fidelity National Information Services” and (ii) FIS’s logos and service marks (collectively, the “FIS Marks”), effective until the first anniversary of the Distribution Date (such first anniversary date being the “Transition License Expiration Date”) and otherwise terminable as provided in Section 6.5.
     (b) License Restrictions and Limitations. The Parties acknowledge that the purpose of the license granted pursuant to this Section 6.1 is intended only to permit LPS’s use of the FIS Marks during the transition period immediately after the

xix


 

consummation of the Asset Contribution and the Spin-off, so that LPS can undertake an orderly changeover from use of the FIS Marks to use of marks, logos and other intellectual property owned by LPS (or by Persons other than FIS). As a result, until the Transition License Expiration Date, LPS’s use of the FIS Marks is limited to incidental, non-substantive use, such as use by LPS of previously-available corporate materials, stationary, bags, umbrellas, shirts and other corporate memorabilia and paraphernalia bearing the “Fidelity National Information Services” name and/or its logos and service marks or the names, logos and service marks of members of the FIS Group. In no event shall (i) LPS create, reproduce or arrange for the creation or reproduction of any of the FIS Marks, or (ii) LPS use the FIS Marks in any advertising or marketing materials. LPS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to terminate its use of the FIS Marks as soon as reasonably possible, provided that LPS shall not be obligated to expend monies to revise or reprint corporate incidentals that bear any of the FIS Marks, such as corporate shirts, coasters, bags, etc.
     (c) Quality Control. (i) LPS and each sublicensee of an FIS Mark hereunder shall assure that the nature and quality of products and services that use any of the FIS Marks will meet or exceed all applicable governmental and regulatory standards and requirements and initially shall be of a high quality consistent with the quality of the products and services of FIS prior to the Asset Contribution Date. FIS may from time to time request, and LPS agrees to reasonably provide, samples of materials and other information regarding LPS’s use of the FIS Marks, which samples shall be used only for the purpose of verifying LPS’s compliance with quality control. The Parties shall mutually agree upon other guidelines for reasonable usage of the FIS Marks by LPS and LPS shall comply therewith. All goodwill arising from its use of the FIS Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of FIS, and neither before nor after the Transition License Expiration Date shall LPS or any sublicensee assert any claim to such goodwill. Additionally, LPS, for itself and for each of its sublicensees, agrees not to take any action that would be detrimental to the goodwill associated with the FIS Marks. If FIS shall give written notice to LPS of its material failure (or the material failure of any of its sublicensees) to maintain or observe the requisite quality controls set forth above and if, within sixty (60) days of LPS’s receipt of such notice, (i) the failure has not been cured or (ii) a reasonable plan of cure has not been presented by LPS to FIS, and LPS (or sublicensee) has not begun to implement such plan, then FIS may suspend all rights for use of the FIS Marks by LPS or sublicensee until such time as such failure is cured. If a plan of cure is implemented and has not resulted in a cure within six (6) months of notice of material failure, the license of the FIS Marks to such user shall terminate. If a license is so terminated, LPS may not issue a new sublicense for any FIS Mark to such sublicensee without prior written consent of FIS.
     (d) Sublicense Limitations. The license granted by FIS to LPS pursuant to this Article VI is subject to the right of sublicense (without further consent from FIS) in accordance with the following limitations:
     (i) Sublicenses may be granted hereunder by LPS solely to members of the LPS Group, effective upon written notice to FIS, which notice discloses the

xx


 

name and address of the sublicensee, and effective only for so long as such sublicensee is a member of the LPS Group.
     (ii) In the event that LPS sublicenses to a sublicensee, LPS agrees to impose on each of its sublicensees obligations to comply with the terms of this Article VI, including without limitation, obligations regarding confidentiality and shall not permit any sublicensee to grant further sublicenses without the prior written approval of FIS.
     (iii) LPS (A) shall be and remain liable to FIS for each sublicensee and any breach of the terms of the applicable sublicense and the terms of this Article VI and (B) shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to minimize any damage (current and prospective) done to FIS as a result of any such breach.
     (e) Inconsistency with Related Party Agreements. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Article VI and any other Related Party Agreement concerning or implicating the licensing of the FIS Marks, the terms of this Article VI will govern.
          SECTION 6.2. Alterations and Variations. LPS shall not remove, obscure or materially vary (or permit its sublicensees to remove, obscure or materially vary) any of the FIS Marks.
          SECTION 6.3. Ownership. For clarification purposes, all FIS Marks shall at all times be exclusively owned, as between the Parties, by FIS, and the entities within the LPS Group shall have no rights, title or interest therein, other than the rights set forth in this Article VI. Nothing contained herein shall preclude or limit FIS’s ability to sell or otherwise encumber, or cause to sell or be encumbered, any of the FIS Marks, subject, however, to the license granted hereunder.
          SECTION 6.4. Enforcement; Infringement. Each Party will notify the other Party promptly of any acts of infringement or unfair competition with respect to any of the FIS Marks of which a Party or any sublicensee of that Party becomes aware or obtains actual knowledge alleging in writing that the FIS Marks or its use infringes the rights of a third party or constitutes unfair competition. In such event, the Parties will cooperate and cause their applicable sublicensees to cooperate, at each Party’s own expense, with the other Party to defend or prosecute the claim. All costs and expenses of defending or prosecuting any such action or proceeding, together with any recovery therefrom, will be borne by and accrue to the applicable Party or sublicensee that is party to the action or proceeding.
          SECTION 6.5. Termination Prior to the Transition License Expiration Date.
     (a) Termination as a result of Disaffiliation. In the event of a Change of Control of LPS, the license granted pursuant to Section 6.1 shall terminate, subject to the transition period described in Section 6.5(c). If a member of the LPS Group ceases to be a member of the LPS Group, then (x) all sublicenses from LPS to such member granted pursuant to LPS’s rights under this Article VI shall terminate, subject to the transition period described in Section 6.5(c).

xxi


 

     (b) Termination for Insolvency. In the event that:
     (i) LPS or, if applicable, an LPS Subsidiary to which a sublicense hereunder has been granted, shall admit in writing its inability to, or be generally unable to, pay its debts as such debts become due; or
     (ii) LPS or, if applicable, an LPS Subsidiary to which a sublicense hereunder has been granted, shall (1) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, examiner or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property or assets, (2) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (3) commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code, (4) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement or winding up, or composition or readjustment of debts, (5) fail to controvert in a timely and appropriate manner, or acquiesce in writing to, any petition filed against it in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or (6) take any corporate, partnership or other action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or
     (iii) a proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the application or consent of LPS or, if applicable, an LPS subsidiary to which a sublicense hereunder has been granted, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking (1) its reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement or winding-up, or the composition or readjustment of its debts under the Bankruptcy Code, (2) the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee, examiner, liquidator or the like of such Party, or, if applicable, of such subsidiary, or of all or any substantial part of its property or assets under the Bankruptcy Code or (3) similar relief in respect of such Party or, if applicable, such subsidiary under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up, or composition or adjustment of debts, and such proceeding or case shall continue undismissed, or an order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and in effect, for a period of sixty (60) days or more days; or
     (iv) an order for relief against LPS shall be entered in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code, which shall continue in effect for a period of sixty (60) days or more;
then FIS may, by giving notice thereof to LPS, terminate the license granted under this Article VI, and such termination shall become effective as of the date specified in such termination notice; provided that where the conditions of this Section 6.5 are met only as to an LPS Subsidiary to which a sublicense hereunder has been granted, then FIS’s rights of termination are limited only to such LPS Subsidiary.
     (c) Transition Upon Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of any licenses or sublicenses for the FIS Marks granted under this Article VI, LPS shall, and shall cause its applicable sublicensees to, promptly cease all use of the applicable FIS Marks; provided that in the event of a Change of Control of LPS, then (i) LPS shall

xxii


 

promptly provide to FIS written notice of the Change of Control, and (ii) whether or not such notice is so provided by LPS, FIS may, by written notice to LPS, terminate all licenses and sublicenses of FIS Marks hereunder, with such termination to be effective at the end of a transition period of three (3) months from the date of such notice (but not later than the Transition License Expiration Date), and upon such termination, LPS shall have ceased and shall have caused its sublicensees to cease, all use of the applicable FIS Marks.
     (d) Abandonment. If FIS or a transferee intends to abandon all use of all marks containing the word “Fidelity National Information Services”, FIS or such transferee shall provide written notice to LPS of its intention to abandon such marks and LPS will have a right to make an offer for the assignment of such marks and FIS will negotiate in good faith, solely with LPS, for the subsequent thirty (30) days, to conclude a mutually satisfactory transaction with respect to such assignment. If, at any time after providing such notice of its intention to abandon such marks, FIS or a transferee proposes to assign such marks, or any significant subset thereof, to a Person not affiliated with FIS or such transferee, LPS shall be extended a right of first refusal to acquire any transferable rights that FIS may have in such marks, which right shall be for a thirty (30) day period from the date of receipt of written notice of such proposal to assign such marks. If prior to expiration of the 30 day period, LPS has not provided written notice to FIS of its agreement to exercise such right, FIS or a transferee may offer or assign such Marks to any other Person.
     (e) Transition License Survival. The terms of Sections 3.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 7.5, and Article VIII shall survive expiration or termination of this Article VI or any licenses or sublicenses granted under this Article VI.
          SECTION 6.6. Unauthorized Use. LPS shall and shall cause its sublicensees to: (1) notify FIS promptly of any unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge (collectively, “Unauthorized Access”) of any of the FIS Marks by any Person which shall become known to LPS, (2) promptly furnish to FIS full details of the Unauthorized Access and use reasonable efforts to assist FIS in investigating or preventing the reoccurrence of any Unauthorized Access, (3) cooperate with FIS in any litigation and investigation against third parties deemed necessary by FIS to protect its proprietary rights, and (4) promptly take affirmative action to prevent a reoccurrence of any such Unauthorized Access.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
          SECTION 7.1. Indemnification by LPS. Without limiting the obligations of LPS under the Assumption Agreement, LPS will indemnify, defend and hold harmless FIS, each member of the FIS Group, each of their respective past, present and future Representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “FIS Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by the FIS Indemnified Parties arising or resulting from the following, whether, except as set forth below, such Indemnifiable Losses arise or accrue prior to, on or following the Asset Contribution Date:

xxiii


 

     (a) (i) the ownership or operation of the assets or properties, or the operations or conduct, of the Transferred Business or any other business of the LPS Group, whether arising before or after the Asset Contribution Date, including without limitation any liabilities arising out of or in connection with the employment agreements with any of the Transferred Employees and (ii) the liabilities described on Schedule 7.1(a);
     (b) without limiting clause (a), any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support arrangement by FIS or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of LPS or any of LPS’s Affiliates or for the benefit of the Transferred Business, subject to any limitations on liability in such agreement;
     (c) any untrue statement of, or omission to state, a material fact in the FIS Public Filings to the extent it was as a result of information that LPS furnished to FIS, if such statement or omission was made or occurred after the Asset Contribution Date; and
     (d) any untrue statement of, or omission to state, a material fact in any LPS Public Filing, except to the extent the statement was made or omitted in reliance upon information provided to LPS by FIS expressly for use in any such LPS Public Filing, or information relating to and provided by any underwriter expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus.
          SECTION 7.2. Indemnification by FIS. FIS will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the LPS Group, each of their respective past, present and future Representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “LPS Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by the LPS Indemnified Parties arising or resulting from the following, whether, except as set forth below, such Indemnifiable Losses arise or accrue prior to, on or following the Asset Contribution Date:
     (a) the ownership or operation of the assets or properties, or the operations or conduct, of FIS and all other members of the FIS Group (other than (i) the Transferred Business or any other business of the LPS Group and (ii) the liabilities described on Schedule 7.1(a)), whether arising before or after the Asset Contribution Date;
     (b) any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support arrangement by LPS or any of LPS’s Affiliates for the benefit of FIS or any of FIS’s Affiliates (other than the Transferred Business), subject to any limitations on liability in such agreement;
     (c) any untrue statement of, or omission to state, a material fact in the LPS Public Filings regarding the FIS Group to the extent it was as a result of information that FIS furnished to LPS or which LPS incorporated by reference from an FIS Public Filing; and
     (d) any untrue statement of, or omission to state, a material fact in any FIS Public Filing, except to the extent the statement was made or omitted in reliance upon information provided to FIS by LPS expressly for use in any such FIS Public Filing.

xxiv


 

          SECTION 7.3. Claim Procedure.
     (a) Claim Notice. A Party that seeks indemnity under this Article VII (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”), whether the Damages sought arise from matters solely between the Parties or from Third Party Claims. The Claim Notice must contain (i) a description and, if known, estimated amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) a demand for payment of those Damages. No delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Damages caused by or arising out of such failure.
     (b) Response to Notice of Claim. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, in which case the Indemnifying Party will pay the Claimed Amount in accordance with a payment and distribution method reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all or any portion of the Claimed Amount, in which case, the Parties will resort to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.3.
     (c) Contested Claims. In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Claimed Amount, as soon as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the notice referenced in Section 7.3(b)(ii), the Parties will begin the process of resolving the matter in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 8.3. Upon ultimate resolution thereof, the Parties will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to comply with such resolution.
     (d) Third Party Claims.
     (i) In the event that the Indemnified Party receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a Person who is not a member of either Group of any claim or the commencement of any Action or Proceeding (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party will give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the Third-Party Claim. Such notification will be given within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third-Party Claim, will be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by such third party (to the extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and will describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third-Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Damages; provided, however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Damages

xxv


 

caused by or arising out of such failure. Within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. During any period in which the Indemnifying Party has not so assumed control of such defense, the Indemnified Party will control such defense.
     (ii) The Party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third-Party Claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel to all Indemnified Parties will be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The Party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) will keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such Party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
     (iii) The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party will not be required if (A) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment, and (B) such settlement or judgment includes a full, complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from further liability. The Indemnified Party will not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          SECTION 7.4. Contribution.
     (a) Relative Fault. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under Section 7.1(c), 7.1(d), 7.2(c) or 7.2(d) hereof in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnifiable Losses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in Indemnifiable Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such

xxvi


 

Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related 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 such statement or omission.
     (b) Contribution Generally. The Parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7.4(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Indemnifiable Losses referred to in Section 7.4(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any Action or Proceeding. 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.
          SECTION 7.5. Limitations.
     (a) Insurance Proceeds; Third Party Coverage. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third Person (including, without limitation, amounts actually recovered under insurance policies) with respect to such Damages. Any Indemnifying Party hereunder will be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party upon payment in full of the amount of the relevant indemnifiable Damages. An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim will not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third Person in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable Damages has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable Damages and the amount received from the third Person exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such indemnifiable Damages, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (X) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable Damages plus the amount received from the third Person in respect thereof, less (Y) the full amount of such indemnifiable Damages.
     (b) Other Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, (i) indemnification with respect to Taxes and with respect to Adverse Consequences from the imposition of Taxes on FIS, LPS or the FIS stockholders with respect to the Transactions shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, and (ii) to the extent the Employee Matters Agreement specifically provides indemnification with respect to certain employee-related Liabilities, the Employee Matters Agreement shall govern with respect to that indemnification. To the extent

xxvii


 

indemnification is not provided in any Related Party Agreements, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
     (c) Certain Damages Not Indemnified. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SCHEDULE 7.1(a), NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS GROUP MEMBERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, DATA, GOODWILL OR OTHERWISE SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DAMAGES ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF EITHER GROUP IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM.
     (d) Successors and Assigns. In the event that LPS or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of LPS assume the obligations set forth in this Article VII. In the event that FIS or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of FIS assume the obligations set forth in this Article VII.
     (e) Payments Made on After-Tax Basis. In calculating any Indemnifiable Losses, there shall be deducted any Tax benefit actually received by the applicable Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof as a result of such Indemnifiable Losses, which Tax benefit shall be calculated based on the actual combined federal and state Tax rate.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
          SECTION 8.1. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Florida (without reference to its principles of conflicts of law) govern the construction, interpretation and other matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those claims or disputes referenced in Section 7.3(d)) and, unless expressly provided therein, each Ancillary Agreement, and each of the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto (whether arising in contract, tort, equity or otherwise).

xxviii


 

          SECTION 8.2. Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. Subject to Section 8.3, if any Dispute (as defined in Section 8.3) arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as expressly contemplated by another provision of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, the Parties irrevocably (and the Parties will cause each other member of their respective Group to irrevocably) (a) consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in Duval County, Florida (a “Jacksonville Court”), (b) waive any objection to that choice of forum based on venue or to the effect that the forum is not convenient, and (c) WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY JURY.
          SECTION 8.3. Dispute Resolution.
     (a) Amicable Resolution. FIS and LPS mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them. Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Subsidiaries to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, including any amendments hereto or thereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement between FIS or any FIS Subsidiary, on the one hand, or LPS or any LPS Subsidiary, on the other hand, as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any use of the FIS Marks) or any agreements related hereto or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the performance of obligations hereunder or thereunder (each a “Dispute”), then unless otherwise expressly provided in such other agreement, upon written request of either Party, the matter will be referred for resolution to a steering committee established pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) (the “Steering Committee”). The Steering Committee will have two members, one of whom will be appointed by FIS and the other of whom will be appointed by LPS, and each of whom shall be a senior executive of the Party appointing the member. The Steering Committee will make a good faith effort to promptly resolve all Disputes referred to it. Steering Committee decisions will be unanimous and will be binding on FIS and LPS. If the Steering Committee does not agree to a resolution of a Dispute within fifteen (15) days after the reference of the matter to it, the Dispute will be referred to the Chief Executive Officers of FIS and LPS. If the Chief Executive Officers do not agree to a resolution of the Dispute within fifteen (15) days after the reference of the matter to them, then the Parties will be free to exercise the remedies available to them under applicable law, subject to Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c).
     (b) Mediation. In the event any Dispute cannot be resolved in a friendly manner as set forth in Section 8.3(a), the Parties intend that such Dispute be resolved by mediation. If the Steering Committee and the Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve the Dispute as contemplated by Section 8.3(a), either FIS or LPS may demand mediation of the Dispute by written notice to the other in which case the Parties will select a mediator within ten (10) days after the demand. Neither Party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of the mediator. Each of FIS and LPS will bear its own costs of mediation but both Parties will share the costs of the mediator equally.

xxix


 

     (c) Arbitration. In the event that the Dispute is not resolved in a friendly manner as set forth in Section 8.3(a) or through mediation pursuant to Section 8.3(b), the latter within thirty (30) days of the submission of the Dispute to mediation, either Party involved in the Dispute may submit the dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 8.3(c). All Disputes submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) shall be resolved in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless the Parties mutually agree to utilize an alternate set of rules, in which event all references herein to the American Arbitration Association shall be deemed modified accordingly. Expedited rules shall apply regardless of the amount at issue. Arbitration proceedings hereunder may be initiated by either Party making a written request to the American Arbitration Association, together with any appropriate filing fee, at the office of the American Arbitration Association in Orlando, Florida. The arbitration shall be by a single qualified arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) experienced in the matters at issue, such Arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by FIS and LPS. If the parties fail to agree on an Arbitrator within thirty (30) days after notice of commencement of arbitration, the American Arbitration Association shall, upon the request of any Party to the dispute or difference, appoint the Arbitrator. All arbitration proceedings shall be held in the city of Jacksonville, Florida in a location to be specified by the Arbitrator (or any place agreed to by the Parties and the Arbitrator). Any order or determination of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties to the arbitration as to matters submitted and may be enforced by any Party to the Dispute in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter or over either Party. The Parties agree that the length of time to be provided in any arbitration action to conduct discovery shall be limited to ninety (90) days, the length of time to conduct the arbitration hearing shall be limited to ten (10) days (with each Party having equal time) and that the Arbitrator shall be required to render his or her decision within thirty (30) days of the completion of the arbitration hearing. All costs and expenses incurred by the Arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with any such arbitration proceeding. The use of any alternative dispute resolution procedures hereunder will not be construed under the doctrines of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either Party.
     (d) Non-Exclusive Remedy.
     (i) FIS and LPS acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by LPS or FIS, misuse of the FIS Marks by LPS. Accordingly, nothing in this Section 8.3 will prevent either FIS or LPS from seeking injunctive or similar relief in the event (A) any delay resulting from efforts to mediate such Dispute could result in serious and irreparable injury to FIS or LPS, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (B) of any actual or threatened breach of any provisions of this Agreement or (C) that the Dispute relates to, or involves a claim of, actual or threatened infringement of any of the FIS Marks. All actions for such injunctive or interim relief shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with this Agreement. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement.

xxx


 

     (ii) Nothing in this Section 8.3 will prevent either FIS or LPS from immediately seeking injunctive or interim relief in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. If an arbitral tribunal has not been appointed with respect to any Dispute at the time of such actual or threatened breach, then either Party may seek such injunctive or interim relief from any court with jurisdiction over the matter. If an arbitral tribunal has been appointed with respect to any Dispute at the time of such actual or threatened breach, then the Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Duval County, Florida, pursuant to Section 8.2, with respect to such matter.
     (iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.3(d), FIS hereby agrees that until the second anniversary of the Distribution Date, FIS will not commence any action in any court of law or equity in any jurisdiction against LPS or any member of the LPS Group for improper incidental use of the FIS Marks; provided, however, that this shall not preclude FIS from commencing legal action (the form and substance of which shall be in the sole discretion of FIS) in the event that LPS or any sublicense of LPS uses any FIS Mark in any advertising, marketing or other material commercial manner.
     (e) Commencement of Dispute Resolution Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any agreements related hereto or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, FIS and LPS are the only parties entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, whether pursuant to Section 7.3, this Section 8.3 or otherwise, and each Party will cause its respective Subsidiaries not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such Party as provided in this Section 8.3(e).
          SECTION 8.4. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if (i) delivered personally, (ii) sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) or (iii) sent by facsimile or electronic transmission (including email), provided that receipt of such facsimile or electronic transmission is immediately confirmed by telephone, in each case to the Parties at the following addresses, facsimile numbers or email address (or as shall be specified by like notice):

          SECTION 8.5. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement is binding upon and enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto (and their respective successors and assigns) and their respective Group members and, except for the indemnification rights of the FIS Indemnified Parties and the LPS Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer any legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims in favor of any Person (including any employee or stockholder of FIS or LPS), other than the Parties signing this Agreement and their respective Group members. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation the licenses set forth in Articles VI or VII) or any Ancillary Agreement in whole or in part without the written consent of the other Party which consent may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, and any assignment or attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and subject to the requirements of Section 7.5(d), either Party may assign this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement in connection with a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity or the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of its assets.
          SECTION 8.6. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.
          SECTION 8.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire final agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

xxxii


 

In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and any provision in any Ancillary Agreement pertaining to the subject matter of such Ancillary Agreement, the specific provisions in such Ancillary Agreement will control over the provisions in this Agreement.
          SECTION 8.8. Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which constitutes an original as against the Party that signed it, and all of which together constitute one agreement. The signatures of both Parties need not appear on the same counterpart. The delivery of signed counterparts by facsimile or email transmission that includes a copy of the sending Party’s signature is as effective as signing and delivering the counterpart in person.
          SECTION 8.9. Expenses. LPS shall be responsible for all costs (including third party costs) incurred in connection with the Debt Exchange and the issuance, syndication and placement of indebtedness of LPS under one or more credit facilities or bond or indenture facilities. Other than as contemplated by the preceding sentence and except as otherwise set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, FIS shall be responsible for all costs (including third party costs) incurred in connection with this Agreement.
          SECTION 8.10. Amendment. The Parties may amend this Agreement only by a written agreement signed by each Party to be bound by the amendment and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]
Lender Processing Services, Inc.
8.125% Senior Note Due 2016
1.   Principal and Interest.
     The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on July 1, 2016.
     The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each interest payment date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 8.125% per annum (subject to adjustment as provided below).
     Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the June 15 or December 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date) on each interest payment date, commencing January 1, 2009.
     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 2, 2008, between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). In the event that the Exchange Offer is not completed (or, if required, the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is not declared effective) on or before the date that is the 210th day after the Issue Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), the interest rate on this Note will increase by a rate of 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue, provide that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.0% per annum) until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.
     Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note or the Note surrendered in exchange for this Note (or, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next interest payment date, from such interest payment date) or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Interest will be computed in the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
     The Company will pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest at a rate per annum that is 1% in excess of 8.125%. Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due will be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a special record date, which will be the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of such interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before a

vi


 

special record date, the Company will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.
2.   Indentures; Note Guaranty.
     This is one of the Notes issued under an Indenture dated as of July 2, 2008 (as amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, Corporate Trust Services, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.
     The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $375,000,000, but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class. This Note is guarantied, as set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture.
3.   Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.
     This Note is subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further described in the Indenture. There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note.
     If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, the Company may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes or may be discharged from certain of its obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture.
4.   Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
     The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which

vii


 

the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note.
5.   Defaults and Remedies.
     If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.
6.   Amendment and Waiver.
     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.
7.   Authentication.
     This Note is not valid until the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
8.   Governing Law.
     This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Exhibit E
to the Contribution and Distribution Agreement
Form of Assumption Agreement
     ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of June 13, 2008 (this “Agreement”), by Lender Processing Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LPS”), in favor of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“FIS” and, together with LPS, the “Parties”).
     W I T N E S S E T H:
     WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Contribution and Distribution Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2008 (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, LPS has agreed to assume certain liabilities of FIS; and
     WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Distribution Agreement;
     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
     1. Assumption of Liabilities. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, LPS hereby assumes and agrees to pay, honor and discharge when due all of the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms and subject to all of FIS’s associated rights, claims and defenses. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby agree that if any of the liabilities contemplated to be assumed by Assignee pursuant to the Distribution Agreement cannot be so assumed hereunder for any reason (including without limitation the failure to timely obtain a required third party or governmental consent or approval), then the financial responsibility for such liabilities shall accrue or otherwise be debited to Assignee until such time as the applicable liabilities can be properly and fully assumed by Assignee.
     2. Third Parties. The assumption by LPS of the liabilities of FIS herein provided is not intended by the Parties to expand the rights and remedies of any third party against LPS in respect of such liabilities as compared to the rights and remedies which such third party would have had against FIS in respect of such liabilities had the Parties not consummated the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall, or shall be construed to, prejudice the right of LPS to contest any claim or demand with respect to any obligation, liability or commitment assumed hereunder and LPS shall have all rights which FIS may have or have had to defend or contest any such claim or demand.
     3. LPS’s Rights. FIS hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints LPS (and each of LPS’s successors and permitted assigns) its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution, in its name or otherwise, to pay, discharge, adjust, settle or compromise any Assumed Liabilities, to prosecute or defend any action or claim in connection therewith, and, if applicable, to submit to arbitration any controversy relating thereto; provided that without

xvii


 

FIS’s consent, LPS shall not agree to any settlement of an Assumed Liability unless (i) such settlement does not impose any obligation on FIS other than the payment of money (which LPS shall pay as agreed herein), and (ii) if such settlement relates to a pending or threatened Action or Proceeding, such settlement includes a release of FIS from further liability in connection with the Assumed Liabilities being settled.
     4. Subject to the Distribution Agreement. The scope, nature and extent of the Assumed Liabilities are expressly set forth in the Distribution Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall itself change, amend, extend or alter (nor shall it be deemed or construed as changing, amending, extending or altering) the terms or conditions of the Distribution Agreement with respect thereto in any manner whatsoever.
     5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
     6. Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims.
     7. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
     8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party.
     9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
     10. Amendment. The parties may amend this Agreement only by a written agreement signed by each party to be bound by the amendment and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement.
