     The response set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
     On February 22, 23 and 24, 2006, FNF acquired for cash an aggregate of 35,000 shares of FIS Common Stock. Additionally, on various dates between March 16 and March 24, 2006, CTIC and FNTIC acquired for cash 263,300 and 196,200 shares of FIS Common Stock, respectively.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
     FNF and FIS announced on June 26, 2006 that they have signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) under which FNF will be merged with and into FIS, with FIS continuing as the surviving corporation. Closing of the merger is expected early in the fourth quarter of 2006.
     The previously announced merger will be consummated immediately after the closing under the Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement entered into on June 25, 2006 by FNF and FNF’s subsidiary, Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (NYSE:FNT), which contemplates the exchange by FNF of certain of its assets for newly-issued common stock of FNT and the subsequent distribution by FNF of its shareholdings in FNT to FNF’s stockholders.
     This spin-off dividend is subject to, among other things, receipt of an IRS private letter ruling with respect to the tax-free treatment for both FNF and its stockholders.
     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of FNF common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of FIS common stock equal to the 96,214,500 shares of FIS that FNF currently owns divided by the aggregate number of shares of FNF common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger (“Conversion Number”). There is no premium or discount associated with the Conversion Number.

Bickett will become Executive Vice President — Strategic Planning, Richard N. Massey and Robert M. Clements will become additional Directors, and Phillip B. Lassiter will cease to be a Director. Approximately 2.8 million options to purchase FNF common stock that are held by persons who are or will become FIS employees will be replaced at their intrinsic value by FIS options having the same terms and vesting provisions.
     The Boards of Directors of FNF and FIS each approved the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement after receiving the recommendation of a special committee of independent members of their respective boards.
     Completion of the transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, including: approval of the stockholders of each of FNF, FNT (as to its issuance of shares to FNF) and FIS; the receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and opinions from FNF’s and FIS’ tax advisors; the clearance of proxy statements by the SEC and effectiveness of registration statements; the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals for the merger; the receipt of any necessary approvals under credit agreements of FNF, FNT and FIS and any other material agreements; the occurrence of the spin-off dividend in accordance with the Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement; and the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that any or all of these conditions will be satisfied or that the transactions will be completed.
     The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by each party, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I THE MERGER SECTION 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL and the GBCC, FNF shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of FNF shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving Company"). SECTION 1.2. Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Section 7.1 or unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and FNF, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place on the same business day as, and immediately after, the completion of the Spin-off pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement, subject to the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI of this Agreement (other than those to be fulfilled or waived as of the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) in accordance with this Agreement, at the offices of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae LLP, 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The actual date and time of the Closing are herein referred to as the "Closing Date".

SECTION 1.3. Effective Time. The parties hereto will (i) file with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia (the "Georgia Secretary of State") on the date of the Closing (or on such other date as the Company and FNF may agree) a certificate of merger (the "Georgia Certificate of Merger") relating to the Merger and any other appropriate documents, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the GBCC, (ii) file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Secretary of State"), a certificate of merger (the "Delaware Certificate of Merger") relating to the Merger, executed and acknowledged in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (iii) make all other filings or recordings required under the GBCC and the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the GBCC and the DGCL. SECTION 1.5. Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. (i) The certificate of incorporation of the Company (the "Company Charter"), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or under applicable law. (ii) The by-laws of the Company (the "Company By-laws") as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the by-laws of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or under applicable law. SECTION 1.6. Directors and Officers. (a) Directors. The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the board of directors of the Company at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be comprised of the individuals set forth in Section 1.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in the classes set forth therein until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Company Charter and the Company By-Laws. (b) Officers. The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the officers of the Company at the Effective Time and the individuals specified in Section 1.6(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Company Charter and the Company By-Laws. (c) In the event that any person listed on Section 1.6(a) or 1.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule is unwilling or unable to serve in the capacity indicated, FNF and the Company shall agree upon a substitute for such person. ARTICLE II EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE SECURITIES OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS SECTION 2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of FNF Common Stock, or any other shares of capital stock of FNF: (a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Company-Owned Common Stock. Each share of FNF Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by FNF or by the Company or any Company Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) shall automatically cease to be outstanding, be cancelled and retired -3- and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. (b) Conversion of FNF Common Stock. Each share of FNF Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (such shares, the "Eligible Shares"), shall be converted into the right to receive the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock (the "Company Common Stock"), par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Stock Consideration") equal to the Conversion Number. The "Conversion Number" shall equal 96,214,500 divided by the number of Eligible Shares, rounded to the nearest ten thousandth. The Stock Consideration and any cash to be paid in accordance with Section 2.3 in lieu of fractional shares of the Company Common Stock are referred to collectively as the "Merger Consideration". (c) Cancellation and Retirement of FNF Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, all certificates representing Eligible Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of FNF Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.3, without interest, and any dividend or other distribution pursuant to Section 2.3(d). (d) FNF Restricted Stock. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, certain shares of FNF Common Stock which when issued were subject to forfeiture under an FNF Stock Option Plan and which remain subject to forfeiture immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an "FNF Restricted Share"), shall be replaced with restricted shares of FNT common stock pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement. As of the Effective Time, each FNF Restricted Share remaining outstanding (an "Assumed Restricted Share") shall be included in the conversion and cancellation of FNF Common Stock pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) and (c); provided, however, that upon conversion, such shares shall continue to be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the corresponding FNF Restricted Shares based upon continued service with Surviving Company and its affiliates. All FNF Restricted Shares outstanding as of May 31, 2006 are disclosed in Section 2.1(d) of the FNF Disclosure Schedule. Section 2.1(d) of the FNF Disclosure Schedule also designates all FNF Restricted Shares that, if outstanding at the Effective Time, will be Assumed Restricted Shares. SECTION 2.2. FNF Stock Option Plans. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, certain outstanding options to purchase shares of FNF Common Stock (an "FNF Stock Option") issued under FNF's stock option plans and award agreements (collectively, the "FNF Stock Option Plans") shall be replaced with options issued by FNT pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement. As of the Effective Time, each FNF Stock Option remaining outstanding designated as described below (an "Assumed Option"), and each FNF Stock Option Plan under which any of the foregoing were issued shall be assumed by the Company. All FNF Stock Options -4- outstanding as of May 31, 2006 are disclosed in Section 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule delivered by FNF to the Company at or prior to the execution of this Agreement (the "FNF Disclosure Schedule") and are designated as vested or unvested. Section 2.2 of the FNF Disclosure Schedule also designates all FNF Stock Options that, if outstanding at the Effective Time, will be Assumed Options. Each Assumed Option shall be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock calculated by multiplying the number of shares of FNF Common Stock subject to such FNF Stock Option as of the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Number, rounding down to the nearest whole number. The "Option Exchange Number" shall equal the closing price of a share of FNF Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date divided by the closing price of a share of Company Common Stock on the Closing Date (or, if the Closing is consummated after the close of trading on the NYSE on such date, on the next business day following the Closing Date), rounded to the nearest ten thousandth. The exercise price for each share of Company Common Stock under an Assumed Option shall be calculated by dividing the exercise price for one share of FNF Common Stock under the related FNF Stock Option as of the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Number, rounding up to the nearest whole cent. No vesting schedule for any Assumed Option shall be modified as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the assumption of FNF Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall in all circumstances satisfy Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the Proposed Regulations under Section 409A of the Code or any future guidance issued thereunder. (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to each person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is the holder of an Assumed Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder's rights pursuant thereto and that the agreements evidencing the grants of such options shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.2 after giving effect to the Merger). At or before the Effective Time, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Assumed Options. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event no later than 15 days following the Effective Time), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) that will register the shares of Company Common Stock subject to Assumed Options to the extent permitted by federal securities laws and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as such options remain outstanding. In addition, the Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Company Common Stock subject to Assumed Options to be listed on the NYSE. (c) Prior to the Effective Time, FNF shall take all corporate action necessary such that the FNF Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall no longer be sponsored or maintained by FNF and shall not become an obligation of the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any shares of FNF Common Stock held in, or distributed from, the FNF Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be included in the conversion and cancellation of FNF Common Stock pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) and (c). -5- SECTION 2.3. Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit with a bank or trust company designated by the Company with the prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of FNF (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares (whether in certificated or book entry form), certificates or, at the Company's option, shares in book entry form (collectively "certificates") representing the aggregate Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for such shares of FNF Common Stock. Such certificates and all cash from sales of the aggregated fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.3(f), together with any dividends or distributions with respect to the Stock Consideration, are hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund". (b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates which prior thereto represented Eligible Shares shall, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of such certificate or certificates in accordance with the terms of the transmittal materials described in Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement and acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Company Common Stock (and/or cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.3(f)) which the aggregate number of shares of FNF Common Stock previously represented by such certificate or certificates surrendered shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement. The Exchange Agent shall accept such certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If the consideration to be paid in the Merger (or any portion thereof) is to be delivered to any person other than the person in whose name the certificate representing shares of FNF Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such exchange that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of such consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of FNF or its transfer agent of shares of FNF Common Stock and if such certificates for Eligible Shares are presented to FNF for transfer, they shall be cancelled against delivery of the Merger Consideration as hereinabove provided. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b), each certificate representing Eligible Shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, as contemplated by Section 2.1. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable as Merger Consideration. (c) Letter of Transmittal. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five business days thereafter), the Company shall require the Exchange Agent to mail to each record holder of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of FNF Common Stock which have been converted pursuant to -6- Section 2.1, a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in surrendering such certificates and receiving the consideration to which such holder shall be entitled pursuant to Section 2.1, each in a form reasonably satisfactory to FNF and the Company. (d) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares; Voting. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of FNF Common Stock which have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1, until the surrender for exchange of such certificate in accordance with this Article II. Following surrender for exchange of any such certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of such certificate, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to the number of whole shares of Company Common Stock into which the shares of FNF Common Stock represented by such certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted pursuant to Section 2.1, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time, but prior to such surrender, and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Company Common Stock. Holders of unsurrendered certificates shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of Company shareholders the number of whole shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificates, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their certificates. (e) No Further Ownership Rights in Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing shares of FNF Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of FNF Common Stock theretofore represented by such certificates, subject, however, to the Company's obligation (if any) to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared by FNF on such shares of FNF Common Stock in accordance with the terms of or contemplated by this Agreement which remain unpaid at the Effective Time. (f) No Fractional Shares. (i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of FNF Common Stock which have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of the Company. (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any holder of shares of FNF Common Stock entitled to receive a fractional share of Company Common Stock but for this Section shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof, in an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market -7- by the Exchange Agent, on behalf of all such holders, of the shares of Company Common Stock constituting the excess of (i) the number of whole shares of Company Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by the Company over (ii) the aggregate number of whole shares of Company Common Stock to be distributed to holders of FNF Common Stock (such excess, the "Excess Shares"). As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the number of Excess Shares and, as agent for the former holders of FNF Common Stock, shall sell the Excess Shares at the prevailing prices on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE"). The Exchange Agent shall deduct from the proceeds of the sale of the Excess Shares all commissions, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, including the expenses and compensation of the Exchange Agent, incurred in connection with such sale of Excess Shares. Until the net proceeds of such sale have been distributed to the former holders of FNF Common Stock, the Exchange Agent will hold such proceeds in trust for such former holders. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to such former holders in lieu of any fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall make available in accordance with this Agreement such amounts to such holders. (g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) which remains undistributed to the holders of the certificates representing shares of FNF Common Stock for 120 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Company, and any holders of shares of FNF Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment of their claim for any Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Company Common Stock. (h) No Liability. None of the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares, cash, dividends or distributions payable from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any certificates representing shares of FNF Common Stock shall not have been surrendered prior to five years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration in respect of such certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions payable in respect of such certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. (i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any certificate representing shares of FNF Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Company, the posting by such person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by the Company as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the shares of Company Common Stock and any cash, unpaid dividends or other -8- distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate been surrendered. (j) Withholding Rights. The Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Company to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of FNF Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company or the Exchange Agent. (k) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock or the issued and outstanding shares of FNF Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of FNF Common Stock, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, redenomination, merger (but only a merger involving the Company and not FNF), issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration and any other dependent items shall be equitably adjusted and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration or other dependent item.

FNF is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified (individually or in the aggregate) would not have an FNF Material Adverse Effect. The term "FNF Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the ability of FNF to perform its obligations hereunder, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, on a timely basis.

(ii) None of the Company or any other person or entity that together with the Company is treated as a single employer under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (each a "Company Commonly Controlled Entity") has incurred any material liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than for the payment of -21- benefits or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation insurance premiums, in either case in the ordinary course). (iii) No Company Commonly Controlled Entity is obligated to contribute to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) or has withdrawn from or incurred any contractual liability to any multiemployer plan resulting or which would reasonably be expected to result in any material "withdrawal liability" (within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA) that has not been fully paid. (h) Taxes. (i) Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries has filed all tax returns and reports required to be filed by it or requests for extensions to file such returns or reports have been timely filed, granted and have not expired, except to the extent that such failures to file or to have extensions granted that remain in effect individually or in the aggregate would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. All tax returns filed by the Company and each Company Subsidiary are complete and accurate except to the extent that such failure to be complete and accurate would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Company Subsidiary has paid (or the Company has paid on behalf of the Company Subsidiary) all taxes shown as due on such returns, and the most recent financial statements contained in the Filed Company SEC Documents reflect an adequate reserve for all taxes payable by the Company and its subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof accrued through the date of such financial statements. (ii) No deficiencies for any taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed against the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are not adequately reserved for, except for deficiencies that individually or in the aggregate would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect, and, except as set forth in Section 3.2(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such taxes have been granted or are pending. The Federal and state income tax returns of the Company and each of its subsidiaries consolidated in such returns have been examined by and settled with the IRS or the appropriate state taxation authorities, as the case may be, or the statute of limitations on assessment or collection of any Federal or state income taxes due from the Company or any of its subsidiaries has expired, for all taxable years of the Company or any of its subsidiaries through the taxable year ended (a) December 31, 2001, for Federal income taxes and (b) December 31, 1999, for state income taxes. (i) No Excess Parachute Payments; Section 162(m) of the Code. (i) Except as disclosed in Section 3.2(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a triggering event under any employment, severance or termination -22- agreement or other compensation arrangement or Company Benefit Plan currently in effect which (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent event) would reasonably be expected to result in any payment, acceleration, vesting or increase in benefits to any current or former officer, employee or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and which would constitute an "excess parachute payment" (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code). (ii) Except as disclosed in Section 3.2(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the disallowance of a deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code for employee remuneration will not apply to any amount paid or payable by the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any contract, Company Benefit Plan, program, arrangement or understanding currently in effect. (j) Voting Requirements. The affirmative vote of the shareholders of the Company by the requisite vote in accordance with the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and any applicable law to approve the issuance of the Company Common Stock in the Merger and the Company Incentive Plan Amendment (as defined herein) is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of Company Common Stock necessary to approve issuance of the Company Common Stock in the Merger and this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Company Incentive Plan Amendment. (k) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(k) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries has in full force and effect all Permits necessary for it to own, lease or operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and there has occurred no default under any such Permit, in each case except for the failure of Permits to be in full force and effect or for defaults under Permits which failures or defaults individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Filed Company SEC Documents, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Entity, except for such noncompliance which individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Filed Company SEC Documents, as of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of the Company, no investigation, examination, inquiry, enforcement action or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries is pending or threatened, other than, in each case, those the outcome of which, as far as reasonably can be foreseen, will not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (l) Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Company has received the opinion of its financial advisor, Stephens, Inc., dated the date hereof, to the effect that, as of such date, the Conversion Number is fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company other than FNF. It is agreed and understood that such opinion is for the benefit of the Company's board of directors and may not be relied on by FNF. -23- (m) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person, other than Stephens, Inc., the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Company, is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company.

Except as set forth in Section 3.2(o) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there is no suit, action, proceeding or arbitration pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to (i) have a Company Material Adverse Effect (other than as described in the Filed Company SEC Documents) or (ii) prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries having, or which would reasonably be expected to have, any such effect. (p) Transaction Documents. None of the information contained in (i) the Form S-4 will, at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, at the time any amendment or supplement thereto becomes effective under the Securities Act or at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Proxy Statement will, at the date the Proxy Statement is first mailed to the Company's or FNF's stockholders or at the time of the Company Shareholders Meeting or the FNF Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The S-4 and the Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations -24- promulgated thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the time, but not after, the requisite vote of the Company Stockholders is obtained, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, following consultation with outside counsel, that such action is required in order for such directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor, representative or agent of, the Company or any Company Subsidiary may, following the receipt of an unsolicited Company Acquisition Proposal by the Company, participate in negotiations regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal or furnish information regarding the Company and its business pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to the person making such Company Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall promptly advise FNF orally and in writing of the receipt by it (or any of the other entities or persons referred to above) after the date hereof of any Company Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry which could lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the person making any such Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) prior to the Company Shareholder Approval, but not after, the Board of Directors of the Company may withdraw or modify its recommendation, or propose to do so, with respect to the Merger in a manner adverse to FNF if the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, -30- that the withdrawal or modification of such recommendation is required in order for the Board of Directors of the Company to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law (it being understood that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal at any time beyond ten business days after the first public announcement of such a proposal shall be considered an adverse modification) and (ii) prior to the FNF Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Board of Directors of FNF may withdraw or modify its recommendation, or propose to do so, with respect to the Merger in a manner adverse to the Company if the Board of Directors of FNF concludes in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the withdrawal or modification of such recommendation is required in order for the Board of Directors of FNF to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. No change of recommendation may be made by the Company until at least 48 hours following FNF's receipt of notice from the Company that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to change its recommendation and the basis therefor, including all necessary information under Section 5.7. In determining whether to make a change of recommendation in response to a Company Acquisition Proposal or otherwise, the Company Board of Directors shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by FNF and any other information provided by FNF in response to such notice. Any material amendment to any Company Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Company Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.8(a), including with respect to the notice period referred to in this Section 5.8(a). (b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit FNF from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to FNF's stockholders which, in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of FNF based on the advice of counsel, is required under applicable law; provided that FNF does not withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to this Agreement or the Merger other than as set forth in Section 5.8(a). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any action by the Board of Directors of FNF permitted by this Section 5.8 shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by FNF. (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company's shareholders which, in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company based on the advice of counsel, is required under applicable law; provided that the Company does not withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to any of the Company Vote Items other than as set forth in Section 5.8(a).

SECTION 5.17. Company Common Stock Buy-Backs. If, after giving effect to actual or anticipated or projected exercises of outstanding options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration would not constitute more than 50% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Effective Time, the Company shall, if and to the extent directed by FNF, repurchase such number of shares of Company Common Stock as shall be reasonably adequate to cause the Merger Consideration to constitute more than 50% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Effective Time; provided that the Company shall not be required to effect any such repurchase if such repurchase would constitute or result in a violation of applicable law, including Regulation M under the Exchange Act. SECTION 5.18. Taxation. Neither FNF nor the Company shall take or cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time, that would be likely to disqualify the Merger as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. SECTION 5.19. Takeover Statutes. If any "fair price," "moratorium," "control share acquisition" or other state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of FNF and the Company and its respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions. SECTION 5.20. Employee Benefits. The Company agrees to (i) provide coverage for FNF employees who become employees of the Company under its medical, dental and health plans as of the Effective Time, (ii) waive any preexisting conditions, waiting periods and actively at work requirements under such plans, and (iii) cause such plans to honor any expenses incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries under similar plans of FNF during the portion of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses.

With respect to all Benefit Plans that are sponsored by FNF and constitute employee benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, including the Fidelity National Financial Group 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, FNF shall, to the extent any such plan is not terminated (and all assets distributed and all liabilities satisfied) prior to the Effective Time, cause the sponsorship of such plans to be transferred to FNT prior to the Effective Time, together with all insurance policies, bonds, and trust, services and other agreements relating to such plans; provided, however, that FNT and FIS shall be entitled to the -34- rights and benefits under such insurance policies, bonds, trusts to the extent reasonably attributable to their respective businesses prior to the Effective Time, as mutually agreed by such companies. SECTION 5.21. Certegy Stock Incentive Plan Amendment. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) amend and restate the Certegy Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated through the date thereof) to increase the total number of shares available under such plan by an additional 4,000,000 shares (the "Company Incentive Plan Amendment"), and (ii) submit such amended and restated plan to the Company's shareholders for approval at the Company Shareholders Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consent or waiver of each holder of outstanding, unvested options issued under the Company Incentive Plan so that the transactions contemplated hereby shall not constitute a "change of control" within the meaning of the Company Incentive Plan with respect to such holder.
