Section 2.1 401(k) Plan.
(a) Effective on or before the Effective Date, LPS shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS
Group Member to adopt, a 401(k) plan and related trust which are intended to be tax-qualified under
Code Section 401(a) and to be exempt from taxation under Code Section 501(a)(1) (collectively, the
“LPS 401(k) Plan”) under which Employees shall be eligible to participate on substantially
similar terms and conditions as were applicable under the FIS 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the
Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall be eligible to participate in the LPS 401(k) Plan
on the Effective Date.
(b) On the Transfer Date, FIS shall cause the accounts, if any, of any Transferred Employee
who is employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member immediately prior to the Transfer Date, their
beneficiaries and their respective alternate payees, if any, under the FIS 401(k) Plan to be
transferred to the LPS 401(k) Plan, and LPS shall cause such transferred accounts to be accepted by
the LPS 401(k) Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, to the extent applicable. Any
outstanding Transferred Employee loan balances under the FIS 401(k) Plan shall also be transferred
with the underlying accounts.
(c) Such transfer shall include credit for any FIS employer matching contributions allocable
for the period ending on the last day such Transferred Employees participate in the FIS 401(k)
Plan, it being understood that no condition exists that such Transferred Employees be employed by a
participating employer on any other date to be eligible for such allocation.
4
(d) The transfer of such accounts shall be made in cash, interests in mutual funds, securities
or other property or in a combination thereof, as the Parties may agree; provided,
however, that, (1) to the extent practicable, the transferred accounts shall be reinvested
initially in investments under the LPS 401(k) Plan that are comparable to the investments in which
such accounts were invested immediately before the Transfer Date and (2) the portions of the
transferred accounts invested in FIS common stock shall be transferred in-kind to an account for
FIS common stock in the LPS 401(k) Plan (the “FIS Stock Account”). LPS shall indemnify and
hold harmless FIS for any liability arising from, or related to, the transfer contemplated by the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1.
(e) The FIS Stock Accounts shall be frozen immediately after the transfer so that
contributions may not be allocated to, or transferred into, the FIS Stock Accounts after the
transfer; provided, however, that participants in the LPS 401(k) Plan with FIS
Stock Accounts may diversify out of their FIS Stock Accounts at any time.
(f) During the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until immediately before
the Transfer Date (the “Interim Period”), LPS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
furnish, or cause to be furnished, to FIS such information as is reasonably necessary for FIS to
properly administer during the Interim Period the Transferred Employees’ accounts under the FIS
401(k) Plan and maintain records accurately with respect thereto, including, without limitation,
informing FIS of any employment terminations of Transferred Employees occurring during the Interim
Period.
(g) The Transferred Employees shall, effective as of the Effective Date, cease to be eligible
to participate in, and to have any further payroll deductions withheld pursuant to, the FIS 401(k)
Plan. LPS shall be obligated to make to the LPS 401(k) Plan any employer matching contributions
that become payable to the Transferred Employees on or after the Effective Date in accordance with
the terms of the LPS 401(k) Plan.
Section 2.2 Health and Dental Plans. Effective on or before the Effective Date, LPS
shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS Group Member to adopt, medical and dental benefit plans
(collectively, the “LPS Health Plans”) under which Employees shall be eligible to
participate on substantially similar terms and conditions as were applicable under the FIS medical
and dental benefit plans (collectively, the “FIS Health Plans”) immediately prior to the
Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall be eligible to participate in the LPS Health Plans
immediately after the Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall, effective as of the
Effective Date, cease to be eligible to participate in, and to have any further payroll deductions
withheld pursuant to, the FIS Health Plans. Following the Effective Date, LPS shall, or shall
cause the applicable LPS Group Member to, waive limitations on eligibility, enrollment and benefits
relating to any preexisting medical conditions of the Transferred Employees and their eligible
dependents; provided, however, that such waiver of preexisting conditions shall not
extend to any condition that prevented a Transferred Employee’s, spouse’s or dependent’s coverage
under the FIS Health Plans as of the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date, LPS shall
recognize, or shall cause the applicable LPS Group Member to also recognize, for purposes of annual
deductible and out-of-pocket limits under the LPS Health Plans, deductible and out-of-pocket
expenses paid by Transferred Employees and their respective dependents under the FIS Health Plans
in the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs to the extent that the Transferred
Employees participate in any such FIS Health Plans in such same calendar year.
Section 2.3 Health and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account Plans. Effective on
or before the Effective Date, LPS shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS Group Member to adopt,
health and dependent care flexible spending account plans (the “LPS Flex Plans”) under
which eligible U.S. Employees shall be eligible to participate on substantially similar terms and
conditions as were applicable under the FIS health and dependent care flexible spending account
plans (the “FIS Flex Plans”)

immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall be eligible to
participate in LPS Flex Plans on the Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall, effective as
of the Effective Date, cease to be eligible to participate in, and to have any further payroll
deductions withheld pursuant to, the FIS Flex Plans. The beginning balance in the LPS Flex Plans
of each Transferred Employee who participated in the FIS Flex Plans as of the Effective Date shall
be the unused portion of the balance in the FIS Flex Plans. On the Transfer Date, FIS shall
transfer any unused amount in the FIS Flex Plans (on behalf of any Transferred Employee who is
employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member immediately prior to the Transfer Date) to LPS and LPS shall
credit such transferred amounts to its LPS Flex Plans on behalf of such Transferred Employees. All
claims for reimbursement after the Effective Date, including those incurred before the Effective
Date but not yet reimbursed from the FIS Flex Plans, shall be submitted to the LPS Flex Plans. For
avoidance of doubt, this transaction shall not trigger a mid-year election change and the
Transferred Employees’ salary reduction elections under the FIS Flex Plans shall continue for the
balance of the plan year under the LPS Flex Plans. During the Interim Period, LPS shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to FIS such information as is
reasonably necessary for FIS to properly administer during the Interim Period the Transferred
Employees’ accounts under the FIS Flex Plans and maintain records accurately with respect thereto,
including, without limitation, informing FIS of any employment terminations of Transferred
Employees occurring during the Interim Period. LPS shall indemnify and hold harmless
FIS for any liability arising from, or related to, the transfer contemplated by the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.3.
Section 2.4 Other Welfare Plans. Effective on or before the Effective Date, LPS shall
adopt, or cause the applicable LPS Group Member to adopt employee welfare benefit plans (as defined
in Section 3(1) of ERISA) not already described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above (collectively, the
“LPS Welfare Plans”) under which eligible Employees shall be eligible to participate on
substantially similar terms and conditions as were applicable under the employee welfare benefit
plans maintained by FIS for Employees immediately prior to the Effective Date (collectively, the
“FIS Welfare Plans”). The Transferred Employees shall be eligible to participate in the
LPS Welfare Plans on the Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall, effective as of the
Effective Date, cease to be eligible to participate in, and to have any further payroll deductions
withheld pursuant to, the FIS Welfare Plans.
Section 2.5 Credit for Service. To the extent that service is relevant for purposes
of eligibility and vesting (and, in order to calculate the amount of any vacation, sick days,
severance and similar benefits, but not for purposes of defined benefit pension benefit accruals)
under any retirement plan, employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained
by LPS or any LPS Group Member for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, such plan, program or
arrangement shall credit such Transferred Employees for service earned on and prior to the
Effective Date with FIS or any FIS Group Member or any of their respective predecessors in addition
to service earned with LPS or any LPS Group Member after the Effective Date, except to the extent
such (a) credit would result in an unintended duplication of benefits or (b) time period of service
is not otherwise credited to other participants covered under the applicable LPS Group plan,
program or arrangement.
Section 2.6 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.
(a) Effective on or before the Effective Date, LPS shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS
Group Member to adopt, nonqualified deferred compensation plans (the “LPS Deferred Compensation
Plan”) under which specified U.S. Employees shall be eligible to participate on substantially
similar terms and conditions as were applicable under the deferred compensation plans maintained by
FIS for U.S. Employees immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “FIS Deferred Compensation
Plan”) and under which LPS was an adopting employer.
(b) The eligible Transferred Employees shall be eligible to participate in the LPS Deferred
Compensation Plan on the Effective Date. The Transferred Employees shall, effective as
6
of the Effective Date, cease to be eligible to participate in, and to have any further payroll
deductions withheld pursuant to, the FIS Deferred Compensation Plan.
(c) As of the Effective Date, (i) LPS shall cease to be an adopting employer of the FIS
Deferred Compensation Plan and (ii) FIS shall assign to LPS (or the applicable LPS Group Member),
and LPS (or the applicable LPS Group Member) shall assume, all obligations and liabilities of FIS
with respect to participating Transferred Employees under the FIS Deferred Compensation Plan who
are employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member immediately prior to the Transfer Date;
provided, however, that on the Transfer Date, FIS shall transfer, or cause to be
transferred, to LPS or the applicable LPS Group Member (or a rabbi trust established with respect
to the LPS Deferred Compensation Plan) cash or other assets equal to the aggregate value of the
liabilities attributable to such Transferred Employees under the FIS Deferred Compensation Plan as
of the Transfer Date. As of the Effective Date, FIS shall assign and transfer to LPS the life
insurance policy issued by Pacific Life Insurance Company and owned by FIS insuring the life of
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx. LPS shall indemnify and hold harmless FIS for any liability arising from, or
related to, the transfer contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6.
(d) During the Interim Period, LPS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, or
cause to be furnished, to FIS such information as is reasonably necessary for FIS to properly
administer during the Interim Period the Transferred Employees’ accounts under the FIS Deferred
Compensation Plan and maintain records accurately with respect thereto, including, without
limitation, informing FIS of any employment terminations of Transferred Employees occurring during
the Interim Period.
(e) For avoidance of doubt, (i) this transaction shall not trigger a termination of employment
for the Transferred Employees who are employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member immediately prior to
the Effective Date and (ii) the deferral elections for such Transferred Employees shall continue
for the balance of the plan year under the LPS Deferred Compensation Plan.
Section 2.7 Annual Incentive Plan. Effective on or before the Effective Date, LPS
shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS Group Member to adopt, an annual incentive plan (the
“LPS Annual Incentive Plan”) under which Employees shall be eligible to participate on
substantially similar terms and conditions as were applicable under the annual incentive plan
maintained by FIS for Employees immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “FIS Annual
Incentive Plan”). Any Transferred Employees who participate in the FIS Annual Incentive Plan
prior to the Effective Date shall, effective as of the Effective Date, (a) cease to be eligible to
participate in the FIS Annual Incentive Plan and (b) be eligible to participate in the LPS Annual
Incentive Plan.

(a) Effective on or before the Effective Date, LPS shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS
Group Member to adopt, an equity-based plan for the benefit of employees of the LPS Group.

Option”) held by Transferred Employees (who are employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member
immediately prior to the Effective Date) and LPS Directors shall, without any action on the part of
FIS or such holders, automatically be substituted by LPS insofar as they relate to FIS Options held by
7
such Transferred Employees and LPS Directors, and each FIS Option so substituted shall,
without any action on the part of LPS or the holder of such FIS Option, automatically become an
option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the FIS Option
immediately prior to the Effective Date, a number of shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per
share, of LPS (“LPS Common Stock”) determined as follows:
(i) the number of shares of LPS Common Stock subject to each FIS Option substituted by LPS
shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of FIS common stock that were subject to
such FIS Option immediately prior to the Effective Date by the LPS Conversion Ratio, and rounding
the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of LPS Common Stock; and
(ii) the per share exercise price for LPS Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each FIS
Option substituted by LPS shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of FIS
common stock subject to such FIS Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, by
the LPS Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent.
(c) On the Effective Date, (i) one-half of the FIS Options held by Dual Employees shall be
converted to LPS options in accordance with Section 3.1(b) herein and (ii) one-half of the FIS
Options held by Dual Employees shall be adjusted in the same manner as FIS Options are adjusted for
FIS Employees who do not become LPS Employees.
(d) Any restriction on the exercise of any FIS Option substituted by LPS shall continue in
full force and effect, and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such
FIS Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the substitution of such FIS Option.
Section 3.2 FIS Restricted Stock.
(a) On the Effective Date, FIS Restricted Shares held by Transferred Employees (who are
employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member immediately prior to the Effective Date) and LPS Directors
immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be substituted into the number of restricted shares
of LPS Common Stock (the “LPS Restricted Shares”) determined by multiplying the number of
FIS Restricted Shares by the LPS Conversion Ratio. Following such conversion, all LPS Restricted
Shares shall be subject to the equivalent vesting restrictions and other terms and conditions as
were applicable to FIS Restricted Shares.
(b) On the Effective Date, (i) one-half of the FIS Restricted Shares held by Dual Employees
immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be substituted into LPS Restricted Shares in
accordance with Section 3.2(a) and (ii) one-half of the FIS Restricted Shares held by Dual
Employees immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be adjusted in the same manner as FIS
Restricted Shares are adjusted for FIS Employees who do not become LPS Employees. The additional
FIS Restricted Shares shall be subject to the equivalent vesting restrictions and other terms and
conditions as were applicable to FIS Restricted Shares.
Section 3.3 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
(a) Effective on or before the Effective Date (or such other date as may be agreed to by the
Parties), LPS shall adopt, or cause the applicable LPS Group Member to adopt, an employee stock
purchase plan (the “LPS ESPP”) that is substantially similar to the FIS ESPP in which

(b) On the Transfer Date, FIS shall cause the accounts, if any, of any Transferred Employee
who is employed by LPS or an LPS Group Member immediately prior to the Transfer Date under the FIS
ESPP to be transferred to the LPS ESPP, and LPS shall cause such transferred accounts to be
accepted by the LPS ESPP. For purposes of the one-year requirement for matches under the LPS ESPP,
LPS will give credit to Transferred Employees for their service with any FIS Group Member
immediately prior to the Effective Date. LPS shall indemnify and hold harmless FIS for any
liability arising from, or related to, the transfer contemplated by the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.3.
(c) During the Interim Period, LPS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, or
cause to be furnished, to FIS such information as is reasonably necessary for FIS to properly
administer during the Interim Period the Transferred Employees’ accounts under the FIS ESPP and
maintain records accurately with respect thereto, including, without limitation, informing FIS of
any employment terminations of Transferred Employees occurring during the Interim Period.
(d) The portions of the transferred accounts invested in FIS common stock shall be transferred
in-kind to an account in the LPS ESPP (the “LPS ESPP FIS Stock Account”). The LPS ESPP FIS
Stock Accounts shall be frozen immediately after the transfer so that contributions may not be
allocated to, or transferred into, the LPS ESPP FIS Stock Accounts after the transfer;
provided, however, that participants in the LPS ESPP with LPS ESPP FIS Stock
Accounts may receive a distribution of FIS common stock out of their LPS ESPP FIS Stock Account at
any time.
(e) The Transferred Employees shall, effective as of the Effective Date, cease to be eligible
to participate in and to have any further payroll deductions withheld pursuant to the FIS ESPP.

become payable to the Transferred Employees for quarters ending after the Effective Date in
accordance with the terms of the LPS ESPP. For purposes of clarification, such contributions shall
include matches attributable to contributions made by Transferred Employees to the FIS ESPP which
contributions were transferred to the LPS ESPP pursuant to Section 3.3(b).

effectiveness of any material amendment by FIS of any FIS Employee Benefit Plan in which Employees

the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written and oral

this Agreement, each of FIS and LPS agree that the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the
Dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Contribution Agreement.
Section 4.5 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer third-party
beneficiary rights upon any employee of the LPS Group or FIS Group or any other person or entity.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving to any such employee or other person or
entity any legal or equitable right against FIS or LPS (or their respective Group Members).
Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as an amendment to, or modification of,
any employee benefit plan or arrangement of FIS or LPS (or their respective Group Members) or limit
in any way the right of FIS or LPS (or their respective Group Members) to amend, modify or
terminate any of their respective employee benefit plans or arrangements. This Agreement shall not
constitute a contract of employment and will not give any employee or other person a right to be

time period after, the Effective Date, the FIS Group shall provide to the LPS Group all employment
records for the Employees required to be kept under applicable law or necessary for the conduct of

include any records to the extent such a transfer would violate applicable law or cause an FIS
Group member to break any agreement with a third party and (b) that such records are in the
possession of the FIS Group. The FIS Group may make, at its expense, and keep copies of such
records. After the Effective Date, as may be necessary for any business purpose of the FIS Group,

liability related to the administration of the FIS Employee Benefit Plans) other than the actual
costs for services or charge for benefits charged to LPS as contemplated herein, provided that such
liability arises from, or relates to, negligent conduct, willful misconduct or the violation of law
