GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of October 1, 2009 (this “Guaranty”) made by Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FNIS”), each of the subsidiaries of FNIS listed on the signature pages hereof under the caption “Subsidiary Guarantors” (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Additional Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in Section 9) (FNIS, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Additional Subsidiary Guarantors being, collectively, the “Guarantors” and, individually, a “Guarantor”) in favor of the Guaranteed Parties (as defined in Section 1).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
Reference is made to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 2009 (as amended from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among FIS Receivables SPV, LLC, as the seller (the “SPV”), FNIS, as the servicer (the “Servicer”), the parties serving as receivables administrators from time to time thereunder (collectively, the “Receivables Administrators”), the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent (the “Agent”). Terms defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used in this Guaranty as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
Each Guarantor may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Purchases under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. It is a condition precedent to the making of Purchases by the Purchasers under the Receivables Purchase Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Purchasers to make Purchases under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of its Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the SPV to the Agent, the Purchasers, each agent or employee
of the Agent performing the duties of the Agent pursuant to Section 8.1(c) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Servicer (if the Servicer is not a Transaction Party or an Affiliate of a Transaction Party) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) under or in respect of the Transaction Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable, rejected, rejectable or otherwise not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the SPV.
For purposes of this Guaranty, “Guaranteed Obligations” means all Obligations of the SPV, now or hereafter existing (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for Yield, Guaranty Protection Repurchase Obligations, Termination Repurchase Obligations, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise.
(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Guaranteed Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the other Guaranteed Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Bankruptcy Law or any comparable provision of applicable law. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 7.1(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
(c) Subject to Section 4 of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Guaranteed Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Guaranteed Parties under or in respect of the Transaction Documents.
2
(d) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any Indebtedness owed by it to another Transaction Party shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor and that any Indebtedness owed to it by another Transaction Party shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such other Transaction Party, it being understood that such Guarantor or such other Transaction Party, as the case may be, may make payments on such intercompany Indebtedness unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.
SECTION 2. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Guaranteed Party with respect thereto. The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Transaction Party under or in respect of the Transaction Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the SPV or any other Transaction Party or whether the SPV or any other Transaction Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Transaction Party under or in respect of the Transaction Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to, or the making of additional Purchases from, the SPV or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral (as defined in Annex A hereto) or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations;
3
(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Transaction Party under the Transaction Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f) any failure of any Guaranteed Party to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to such Guaranteed Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Guaranteed Parties to disclose such information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Guaranteed Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Guaranteed Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the SPV or any other Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty (other than any demand, presentment or notice required by the Transaction Documents) and any requirement that any Guaranteed Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or, if applicable, any Collateral.
4
(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Guaranteed Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any other Transaction Party, any other guarantor or any other Person or, if applicable, any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
(d) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Guaranteed Party.
(e) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing and sale arrangements contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Transaction Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Guaranteed Party against any other Transaction Party or, if applicable, any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Transaction Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, the SPV’s Repurchase Obligations shall have been performed, Capital shall have been reduced to zero and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If
5
any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of Section 5 the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts payable in respect of the SPV’s Repurchase Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, Section 6 the Termination Date and Section 7 the reduction of Capital to zero, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any of such Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable by it under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (ii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iii) Capital shall have been reduced to zero, the Guaranteed Parties will, at any Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.
SECTION 5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (and such Guarantor shall make such payments of Taxes and Other Taxes to the extent described in Section 2.14), as though such payments were made by the SPV.
SECTION 6. Representations And Warranties of FNIS. FNIS represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchasers as to each of the matters set forth on Annex B hereto as if such provisions were fully set forth herein. Unless otherwise defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, each of the defined terms used in Annex B shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Annex A hereto.
SECTION 7. Covenants. Until the latest of (i) the date on which all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (ii) the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which Capital shall have been reduced to zero:
6
(a) FNIS shall, and shall (except in the case of the covenants set forth in Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3 of Annex C attached hereto) cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, perform each of the covenants set forth on Annex C hereto as if such provisions were fully set forth herein;
(b) FNIS shall not, nor shall it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, take the actions set forth in Annex D hereto as if such provisions were fully set forth herein; and
(c) each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall perform and observe, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Transaction Documents on its or their part to be performed or observed or that FNIS has agreed to cause such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiaries to perform or observe.
Unless otherwise defined therein, each of the defined terms used in Annex C and D shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Annex A hereto.
SECTION 8. Amendments, Release of Subsidiary Guarantors, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and the Guarantors (with the consent of the requisite number of Purchasers specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder if FNIS determines that such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer required under Section 12 of Annex C hereto to be a Subsidiary Guarantor and gives notice to that effect to the Agent. The Agent will, at FNIS’s expense, execute and deliver to such Subsidiary Guarantor such documents as FNIS shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee hereunder pursuant to this Section 8; provided that FNIS shall have delivered to the Agent a written request therefor and a certificate of FNIS to the effect that the determination is in compliance with the Transaction Documents. The Agent shall be authorized to rely on any such certificate without independent investigation.
SECTION 9. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Annex E hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Subsidiary Guarantor” and shall become and be a Subsidiary Guarantor and Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a
7
“Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Subsidiary Guarantor, and each reference in any other Transaction Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Subsidiary Guarantor, and Section 13 each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Transaction Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including, without limitation, telegraphic, telecopy or telex communication or facsimile transmission) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed, faxed or delivered to it, if to any Guarantor, addressed to it in care of FNIS at FNIS’s address specified in Section 11.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, if to the Agent or any Purchaser, at its address specified in Section 11.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made at such time as shall be set forth in Section 11.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Delivery by telecopier or electronic mail of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty or of any Guaranty Supplement to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.
SECTION 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Termination and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 7.1 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement to authorize the Agent to declare that the Termination Date has occurred pursuant to the provisions of said Section 7.1, the Agent and, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent and each Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but not any deposits held in a custodial, trust or other fiduciary capacity) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by
8
the Agent or such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under any Transaction Document, irrespective of whether the Agent or such Purchaser shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document and although such Guaranteed Obligations may be unmatured. The Agent and each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agent and each Purchaser under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Agent and such Purchaser may have.
SECTION 13. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the SPV to any Guaranteed Party under or in respect of the Transaction Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable, rejected, rejectable or otherwise not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the SPV.

(d) The undersigned hereby agrees that any Indebtedness owed by it to another Transaction Party shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of the undersigned and that any Indebtedness owed to it by another Transaction Party shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such other Transaction Party, it being understood that the undersigned or such other Transaction Party, as the case may be, may make payments on such intercompany Indebtedness unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing. The undersigned further agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.
