| | (d) | You acknowledge and agree that compliance with this Section 4 is necessary to protect the Company, and that a breach of any of this Section 4 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach of this Section 4, or any part thereof, the Company, and its successors and assigns, shall be entitled to injunctive relief and to such other and further relief as is proper under the circumstances.

| | (f) | You agree that the terms of this Agreement shall survive the termination of your employment with the Company. |
| | (g) | YOU HAVE READ THIS SECTION 4 AND SECTION 5(a)(ii)(F) AND AGREE THAT THE CONSIDERATION PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY IS FAIR AND REASONABLE AND FURTHER AGREE THAT GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE TO THE COMPANY OF ITS CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, THE POST-EMPLOYMENT RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR ACTIVITIES ARE LIKEWISE FAIR AND REASONABLE. |
| 5. | Termination of Employment. |
| | (a) | Vesting. If you cease to be an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for any reason (a “Termination Event”), the unvested portion of the Award shall terminate on the date on which such Termination Event occurs; provided that, if the reason for your Termination Event is: |
| | (i) | death or Disability, then the number of Shares issuable under this Award as of the date of your death or Disability, subject to any deferral election then in effect, shall be calculated as follows: (A) the total number of Shares subject to this Award divided by four times (B) the number of Grant Date anniversaries that have occurred since the Grant Date minus (C) the number of Shares already issued to you or deferred pursuant to the Award; |
| | (ii) | Retirement, then the unvested portion of the Award shall continue to vest on the dates indicated in the Award Memorandum as if you had not ceased to be an employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing: |
| | (A) | If you receive written notification from the Compensation Committee that you failed to provide for an orderly transition of your duties to a successor, then any portion of the Award that is unvested as of the date of such notification shall terminate as of such date. |
| | (B) | If, at any time following your Retirement, one of the following events occurs (a “Post-Retirement Violation”), then any portion of the Award that is unvested as of the date of such Post-Retirement Violation shall terminate as of the date such event occurs: (I) you commence employment of any kind (other than board or public service, work for a not-for-profit or de minimis for-profit employment); (II) you commence work of any kind for a Competitor, including as an employee, board member, consultant or otherwise; or (III) you violate any post-employment covenant applicable to you under any agreement in effect with, or policy of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including without limitation those set forth in Section 4. |
4
| | (C) | If, while this Award is outstanding, you commence employment or other work of any kind following your Retirement, you are required to promptly provide written notice to the Company of the name of your employer and the nature of your position or other work. |
| | (D) | If you receive any benefit under this Award after the date of a Post-Retirement Violation, then you will be obligated to repay to the Company the value of such benefit (with such value to be determined by the Company, which may include a reasonable rate of interest) promptly following your receipt of notice of such repayment obligation from the Company. |
| | (E) | All determinations regarding whether you have engaged in a Post-Retirement Violation shall be made by the Compensation Committee. |
| | (F) | Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if a Post-Retirement Violation described in
(ii)(B)(II) or (III) above occurs following Retirement, the Company shall be entitled to recover the value of any amounts previously paid or payable or any shares (or the value of any shares) delivered or deliverable to you pursuant to any Fiserv bonus program, this Agreement, and any other Fiserv plan or arrangement. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you die after Retirement and prior to the date the Award vests in full (and provided that a Post-Retirement Violation has not occurred), then the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of your death.
If you are regularly scheduled to work less than 20 hours per calendar week for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, you will be deemed to have experienced a Termination Event.
| | (b) | Retirement. For purposes of this Section 5, “Retirement” means the cessation of service as an employee for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause if: |
| | (i) | (A) you are at least 50 years of age and your age plus years of service to the Company and its subsidiaries is equal to or greater than 70 (with at least 5 years of continuous service to the Company and its subsidiaries immediately prior to such cessation of service) or (B) you are at least 55 years of age with at least 5 years of continuous service to the Company and its subsidiaries immediately prior to such cessation of service; and |
| | (ii) | you have provided for an orderly transition of your duties to a successor, including by: (A) providing notice to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or, if you are the Chief Executive Officer, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors) of your consideration of Retirement sufficiently in advance of your proposed date of Retirement; and (B) assisting with the identification and selection of, and transition of your duties to, a successor ((A) and (B) being referred to herein collectively as the “Specified Transition Requirements”). |
If you meet the criteria in paragraph (i) above and you satisfy the Specified Transition Requirements, your cessation of service will be deemed to be a qualifying Retirement; provided that, the Compensation Committee may determine, within 30 days after your cessation of service, that you failed to provide for an orderly transition of your duties to a successor. By way of example only, this could result from providing too short of notice or not providing an adequate amount of transition assistance.
| | (c) | Change of Control. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs, the provisions of Section 17(c) of the Plan shall apply to this Award. If the successor or purchaser in the Change of Control has assumed the Company’s obligations with respect to this Award or provided a substitute award as contemplated by Section 17(c)(i) of the Plan and, within 12 months following the occurrence of the Change of Control, you are terminated without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), this Award or such substitute award shall become fully vested, and the provisions of Section 4 shall immediately cease to apply. |
5
“Good Reason” means your suffering any of the following events without your consent: (x) significant or material lessening of your responsibilities; (y) a reduction in your annual base salary or a material reduction in the level of incentive compensation for which you have been eligible during the two years immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control and/or a material adverse change in the conditions governing receipt of such incentive compensation from those that prevailed prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control; or (z) the Company requiring you to be based anywhere other than within 50 miles of your place of employment at the time of the occurrence of the Change of Control, except for reasonably required travel to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations.
If the Change of Control of the Company occurs after your Retirement and prior to the date this Award has become vested in full (and prior to the occurrence of a Post-Retirement Violation), and if the successor or purchaser in the Change of Control does not either assume the Company’s obligations with respect to the Award or provide a substitute award, then this Award shall vest in full immediately prior to the date of such Change of Control.
| | (d) | Service as Director. For purposes of this Agreement, an employee of the Company, if also serving as a director, will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this Agreement until his or her service as a director ends, and his or her years of service will be deemed to include years of service as a director. |
| | (e) | No Further Obligation. The Company will have no further obligations to you under this Award if the Award terminates as provided herein. |
| 6. | Deferral of Restricted Stock Units. If you are eligible to, and properly elect to, defer delivery of all or part of the Shares otherwise issuable under this Award, such deferral will be governed by the Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Election Form executed by you separately from this Agreement. |
| 7. | Issuance of Shares. The Company, or its transfer agent, will issue and deliver the Shares to you as soon as practicable after the Award vests (pursuant to the terms hereof) with respect to such Shares, or, if a deferral election was made, at the time specified in the Deferral Election Form; provided that, if the Award vests as a result of a Termination Event resulting from your Disability after you become Retirement-eligible, then the Shares will be delivered upon the next scheduled vesting date after your separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A. If you die before the Company has distributed any portion of the vested Shares, the Company will issue the Shares to your estate or in accordance with applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Shares will be issued and delivered in book entry form, and the Company will not be liable for damages relating to any delays in making an appropriate book entry or any mistakes or errors in the making of the book entry; provided that the Company shall correct any errors caused by it. Any such book entry will be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under (a) the Plan and any agreement between you and the Company with respect to this Award or the Shares, (b) any applicable federal or state laws and (c) the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any stock exchange upon which the Shares are listed. The Company may cause an appropriate book entry notation to be made with respect to the Shares to reference any of the foregoing restrictions. |
| 8. | Non-Transferability of Award. Except as provided in the Plan, this Agreement and the Award Memorandum, until the Shares have been issued under this Award, this Award and the Shares issuable hereunder and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, transferred, |
6
| | pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated (by operation of law or otherwise). Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or of any right or privilege conferred hereby, contrary to the provisions of the Plan or of this Agreement, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred hereby, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall immediately become null and void. |
| 9. | Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Shares issued to you hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the SEC or any other governmental regulatory body, which the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) shall, in its discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Compensation Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of vesting of the Award or the payment event specified in a deferral election as the Compensation Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience (provided that any such period shall be in compliance with Code Section 409A); and (e) your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Award Memorandum and the Plan within the time period and in the manner specified in this Agreement. |
| 10. | Dividends; No Rights as Shareholder. If the Company declares a cash dividend and the dividend record date occurs prior to the date the Award vests, you will be credited with an additional number of Restricted Stock Units on the date the cash dividends are paid to the Company shareholders equal to (a) the amount of cash dividends payable with respect to a number of shares of stock equal to your Restricted Stock Units divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the dividend is paid. These additional Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the dividend equivalents were credited. Until this Award vests and the Shares are issued to you, you shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares. Specifically, you understand and agree that you do not have voting rights or, except as provided in this Section 10, the right to receive dividends or any other distributions paid with respect to shares of Company common stock by virtue of this Award or the Shares subject hereto. |
| 11. | Addresses for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company as follows: Corporate Secretary, Fiserv, Inc., 255 Fiserv Drive, Brookfield, WI 53045, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. Any notice to be given to you shall be addressed to you at the address set forth in the Company’s records from time to time. |
| 12. | Captions; Agreement Severable. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. |
| 13. | Securities and Tax Representations. |

7
| | comply with all applicable laws and Company policies relating to the Plan, this Agreement and any disposition of Shares and that upon the acquisition of any Shares subject to this Award, you will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request to comply with applicable securities laws or this Agreement. |
| | (b) | You represent and warrant that you understand the federal, state and local income and employment tax consequences associated with the granting of the Award, the vesting of the Award, the deferral of all or a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable upon vesting of the Award, and the subsequent sale or other disposition of any Shares. You understand and agree that when this Award vests and Shares are issued, and you thereby realize gross income (if any) taxable as compensation in respect of such vesting or issuance, the Company will be required to withhold federal, state and local taxes on the full amount of the compensation income realized by you and may also be required to withhold other amounts as a result of such vesting. You also understand and agree that the Company may be required to withhold certain payroll taxes in connection with your Retirement or your termination due to Disability prior to the issuance of Shares. You hereby agree to provide the Company with cash funds or Shares equal in value to the federal, state and local payroll and income taxes and other amounts required to be withheld by the Company or its subsidiary in respect of any compensation income or wages in relation to the Award or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding such amounts, which may include deduction of such taxes from other wages owed to you by the Company or its subsidiaries. All matters with respect to the total amount to be withheld shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. |
| 14. | Market Stand-Off.

Upon receipt of written notice from the Company of a trading restriction, you agree that you shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Award without the prior written consent of the Company. Such restriction shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be determined by the Company. In no event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days. |
| | (a) | None of the Plan, this Agreement or the Award Memorandum confers upon you any right to continue to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or limits in any respect any right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to terminate your employment at any time, without liability. |
| | (b) | This Agreement, the Award Memorandum, the Plan and the Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Election Form, if any, contain the entire agreement between the Company and you relating to the Award and the Shares and supersede all prior agreements or understandings relating thereto. |
