SECTION 1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK
     (a) Restricted Stock. On the terms and conditions set forth in the attached Notice of Restricted Stock Grant and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Company”) grants to the Grantee on the Date of Grant the Shares of Restricted Stock (the “Restricted Stock”) set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant.
     (b) Plan and Defined Terms. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan. All terms, provisions, and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein are hereby incorporated by reference herein (it being understood that for all purposes of this Agreement, references in the Plan to the “Company” shall be deemed to refer to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan). To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. All capitalized terms that are used in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant or this Agreement and not otherwise defined therein or herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
SECTION 2. FORFEITURE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
     (a) Forfeiture Restrictions. If the Grantee’s employment or service as a Director or Consultant, as the case may be, is terminated for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) Disability (as defined below) or (iii) termination by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause (as defined below), the Grantee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company the Shares of Restricted Stock to the extent such Shares are subject to a Period of Restriction at the time of such termination. If the Grantee’s employment or service as a director of the Company or a consultant to the Company, as the case may be, terminates due to the Grantee’s death or Disability, or is terminated by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause, while Shares of Restricted Stock are subject to a Period of Restriction, the Period of Restriction with respect to such Shares shall lapse, and the Shares shall vest and become free of the forfeiture and transfer restrictions described in this Section 2, on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment or service.
          (i) The term “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Grantee’s employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary. If the Grantee’s employment agreement does not define the term “Cause,” or if the Grantee has not entered into an employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, the term “Cause” shall mean (A) the willful engaging by the Grantee in misconduct that is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (monetarily or otherwise), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, (B) the Grantee’s conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony involving moral turpitude, or (C) the Grantee’s violation of any confidentiality, non-solicitation, or non-competition covenant to which the Grantee is subject.

          (ii) The term “Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Grantee’s employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary. If the Grantee’s employment agreement does not define the term “Disability,” or if the Grantee has not entered into an employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, the term “Disability” shall mean the Grantee’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits pursuant to the long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or in which the Company’s employees participate.
     (b) Transfer Restrictions. During the Period of Restriction, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent such Shares are subject to a Period of Restriction.
     (c) Lapse of Restrictions. The Period of Restriction shall lapse as to the Restricted Stock in accordance with the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant. Subject to the terms of the Plan and Section 4(a) hereof, upon lapse of the Period of Restriction, the Grantee shall own the Shares that are subject to this Agreement free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
SECTION 3. STOCK CERTIFICATES
     As soon as practicable following the grant of Restricted Stock, the Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the Grantee’s name in certificate or book-entry form. If a certificate is issued, it shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions and it shall be held by the Company, or its agent, on behalf of the Grantee until the Period of Restriction has lapsed. If the Shares are registered in book-entry form, the restrictions shall be placed on the book-entry registration. The Grantee may be required to execute and return to the Company a blank stock power for each Restricted Stock certificate (or instruction letter, with respect to Shares registered in book-entry form), which will permit transfer to the Company, without further action, of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock that is forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.
     Except for the transfer restrictions, and subject to such other restrictions, if any, as determined by the Committee, the Participant shall have all other rights of a holder of Shares, including the right to receive dividends paid (whether in cash or property) with respect to the Restricted Stock and the right to vote (or to execute proxies for voting) such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if all or part of a dividend in respect of the Restricted Stock is paid in Shares or any other security issued by the Company, such Shares or other securities shall be held by the Company subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock in respect of which the dividend was paid.
SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
     (a) Tax Withholding. Pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantee’s FICA obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to this Award. The Committee may condition the delivery of Shares upon the Grantee’s satisfaction of such withholding obligations. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirement by tendering previously-owned Shares or by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory withholding (based on minimum statutory withholding
