AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 30, 2009, by and between FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and GEORGE SCANLON (the “Employee”) and is effective upon the occurrence of the Effective Date (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2009, by and among the Company, Cars Holdings, LLC and Metavante Technologies, Inc.). In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

     1.  Purpose and Release . This Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the obligations of the parties under the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Employee, dated as of May 1, 2008 (the “Prior Agreement”). The purpose of this Agreement is to terminate all prior agreements between the Company, and any of its affiliates, and the Employee relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, to recognize the Employee’s significant contributions to the overall financial performance and success of the Company, to acknowledge the importance of the Employee’s continued services to the Company’s future success, to assure the Company of the services of the Employee following the Effective Date notwithstanding any rights the Employee may have to terminate Prior Agreement, to protect the Company’s business interests through the inclusion of restrictive covenants, and to provide a single, integrated document which shall provide the basis for the Employee’s continued employment by the Company. In consideration of the execution of this Agreement and the termination of all such prior agreements, the parties each release all rights and claims that they have, had or may have arising under such prior agreements, including the Prior Agreement. In the event the Effective Date does not occur, this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no further force and effect.

     2.  Employment and Duties . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to continue to employ the Employee to serve as Corporate Executive Vice President - Finance, or in such other capacity as may be mutually agreed by the parties. The Employee accepts such continued employment and agrees to undertake and discharge the duties, functions and responsibilities set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and such other duties and responsibilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) or the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Employee shall devote substantially all business time, attention and effort to the performance of duties hereunder, and shall not engage in any business, profession or occupation, for compensation or otherwise without the express written consent of the CFO, CEO or Board, other than personal, personal investment, charitable, or civic activities or other matters that do not conflict with the Employee’s duties.

     3.  Term . The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three (3) years ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date or, if later, ending on the last day of any extension made pursuant to the next sentence, subject to prior termination as set forth in Section 8 (such term, including any extensions pursuant to the next sentence, the “Employment Term”). The Employment Term shall be extended automatically

 


 

for one (1) additional year on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and for an additional year each anniversary thereafter unless and until either party gives written notice to the other not to extend the Employment Term at least two hundred seventy (270) days before such extension would be effectuated.

     4.  Salary . During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Employee a base salary, before deducting all applicable withholdings, at an annual rate of no less than $450,000 per year, payable at the time and in the manner dictated by the Company’s standard payroll policies. Such minimum annual base salary may be periodically reviewed and increased (but not decreased without the Employee’s express written consent) at the discretion of the CEO, Board or Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) to reflect, among other matters, cost of living increases and performance results (such annual base salary, including any increases, the “Annual Base Salary”).

     5.  Other Compensation and Fringe Benefits . In addition to any executive bonus, pension, deferred compensation and long-term incentive plans which the Company or an affiliate of the Company may from time to time make available to the Employee, the Employee shall be entitled to the following during the Employment Term:

 

(a)

 

equivalent or more beneficial medical and other insurance coverage (for the Employee and any covered dependents) provided by the Company to executives with the same corporate title (e.g., Corporate Executive Vice President);

 

 

(b)

 

supplemental disability insurance sufficient to provide a benefit to the Employee equal to two-thirds of the Employee’s pre-disability Annual Base Salary, provided that such coverage is available in the market using traditional standards of underwriting;

 

 

(c)

 

an annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Company’s annual incentive plan (“Annual Bonus Plan”) for each calendar year included in the Employment Term, with such opportunity to be earned based upon attainment of performance objectives established by the Board or Committee (“Annual Bonus”). The Employee’s target Annual Bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan shall be no less than 150% of the Employee’s then current Annual Base Salary, with a maximum of up to 300% of the Employee’s then current Annual Base Salary (collectively, the target and maximum Annual Bonus are referred to as the “Annual Bonus Opportunity”). The Employee’s Annual Bonus Opportunity may be periodically reviewed and increased, but may not be decreased without the Employee’s express written consent. If owed pursuant to the terms of the Annual Bonus Plan, the Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the March 15 th first following the calendar year to which the Annual Bonus relates. Unless provided otherwise herein or the Board or Committee determines otherwise, no Annual Bonus shall be paid to the Employee unless the Employee is employed by the Company, or an affiliate thereof, on the Annual Bonus payment date;

(e)

 

on the Effective Date, the Employee shall be awarded a cash retention bonus in an amount equal to $3,000,000 (the “Retention Cash Award”), pursuant to the Employee’s Prior Agreement as an inducement for Employee to enter into this Agreement and continue his employment relationship with the Company; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Retention Cash Award shall not be taken into account in computing any benefits under any plan, program or arrangement of the Company or its affiliates and shall not be considered an “Annual Bonus”;

 

 

(f)

 

eligibility to participate in the Company’s equity incentive plans; and

 

 

(g)

 

all other benefits and incentive opportunities customarily made available to executives with the same corporate title.

     6.  Vacation . For and during each calendar year within the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to reasonable paid vacation periods and holidays consistent with the Employee’s position and in accordance with the Company’s standard policies, or as the CFO, CEO, Board or Committee may approve.

     7.  Expense Reimbursement . In addition to the compensation and benefits provided herein, the Company shall, upon receipt of appropriate documentation, reimburse the Employee each month for reasonable travel, lodging, entertainment, promotion and other ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred during the Employment Term to the extent such reimbursement is permitted under the Company’s expense reimbursement policy.

     8.  Termination of Employment . The Company or the Employee may terminate the Employee’s employment at any time and for any reason in accordance with Subsection (a) below. The Employment Term shall be deemed to have ended on the last day of the Employee’s employment. The Employment Term shall terminate automatically upon the Employee’s death.

A Notice of Termination from the Company shall specify whether the termination is with or without Cause or due to the Employee’s Disability. A Notice of Termination from the Employee shall specify whether the termination is with or without Good Reason.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Date of Termination” shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (but in no event shall such date be earlier than the thirtieth (30 th ) day following the date the Notice of Termination is given) or the date of the Employee’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Date of Termination occur until the Employee experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (as defined in Section 26 of the Agreement), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be the “Date of Termination,” and all references herein to a “termination of employment” (or words of similar meaning) shall mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

 

 

(c)

 

No Waiver . The failure to set forth any fact or circumstance in a Notice of Termination, which fact or circumstance was not known to the party giving the Notice of Termination when the notice was given, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to assert such fact or circumstance in an attempt to enforce any right under or provision of this Agreement.

 

 

(d)

 

Cause . For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of the Employee’s employment for “Cause” means a termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company based upon the Employee’s: (i) persistent failure to perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction directed by the Company that would otherwise constitute Good Reason); (ii) willful neglect of duties (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction directed by the Company that would otherwise constitute Good Reason); (iii) conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty or moral turpitude; (iv) material breach of this Agreement; (v) material breach of the Company’s business policies, accounting practices or standards of ethics; or (vi) failure to materially cooperate with or impeding an investigation authorized by the Board.

 

 

(e)

 

Disability . For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of the Employee’s employment based upon “Disability” means a termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company based upon the Employee’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or policy, as the case may be, as in effect on the Date of Termination; provided , however , that if the Employee is not a participant in the Company’s long-term disability plan or policy on the Date of Termination, he shall still be considered terminated based upon Disability if he would have been entitled to benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or policy had he been a participant on his Date of Termination.

 

 

(f)

 

Good Reason . For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of the Employee’s employment for “Good Reason” means a termination of the Employee’s employment by the Employee based upon the occurrence (without the Employee’s express written consent) of any of the following:

4


 

 

(i)

 

a material adverse change in the Employee’s position or title, or a material diminution in the Employee’s managerial authority, duties or responsibilities or the conditions under which such duties or responsibilities are performed (e.g., a material reduction in the number or scope of department(s), functional group(s) or personnel over which the Employee has managerial authority), in each case, as of immediately following the Effective Date;

 

 

(ii)

 

a material adverse change in the position to whom the Employee reports (e.g., CFO), or a material diminution in the managerial authority, duties or responsibilities of the person in that position, in each case, as of immediately following the Effective Date;

 

 

(iii)

 

a material change in the geographic location of the Employee’s principal working location (currently, 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida), which the Company has determined to be a relocation of more than thirty-five (35) miles;

 

 

(iv)

 

a material diminution in the Employee’s Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus Opportunity; or

 

 

(v)

 

a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee being placed on a paid leave for up to sixty (60) days pending a determination of whether there is a basis to terminate the Employee for Cause shall not constitute Good Reason. The Employee’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder; provided, however , that no such event described above shall constitute Good Reason unless: (1) the Employee gives Notice of Termination to the Company specifying the condition or event relied upon for such termination within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such event and (2) the Company fails to cure the condition or event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Employee’s Notice of Termination (the “Cure Period”). In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Employee’s Date of Termination must occur, if at all, within one-hundred fifty (150) days following such Cure Period in order for such termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good Reason.
