Introduction

On November 1, 2007, Metavante Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Metavante Holding Company) (“Metavante Technologies”) completed the previously announced transactions (the “separation and related transactions”) to separate from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (“Marshall & Ilsley”). On November 2, 2007, Metavante Technologies’ common stock began regular way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MV”. The creation of Metavante Technologies as a separate public company results from the successful completion of a plan, approved by Marshall & Ilsley shareholders on October 25, 2007, to separate the banking business of Marshall & Ilsley, which will be operated by New M&I Corporation (renamed Marshall & Ilsley Corporation), from the business of Marshall & Ilsley’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Metavante Corporation, which will be operated by Metavante Technologies, into two separate, publicly-traded companies. A copy of the press release dated November 1, 2007 announcing the completion of the transactions is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Throughout this Current Report on Form 8-K, reference is made to the proxy statement/prospectus—information statement included as part of Metavante Technologies’ Registration Statement on Form S-4, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2007, as amended and supplemented and declared effective (File No. 333-143143) (the “Registration Statement”). A copy of the Registration Statement is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Shareholders Agreement

In connection with the completion of the separation and related transactions, Metavante Technologies entered into a Shareholders Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2007, with WPM, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Investor”), and the other shareholders party thereto (the “Shareholders Agreement”). Descriptions of the material provisions of the Shareholders Agreement are included in the Registration Statement under the caption “Additional Agreements Relating to the Transactions—Shareholders Agreement,” which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Shareholders Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Stock Purchase Right Agreement

In connection with the completion of the separation and related transactions, Metavante Technologies entered into a Stock Purchase Right Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2007, with Investor (the “Stock Purchase Right Agreement”). Descriptions of the material provisions of the Stock Purchase Right Agreement are included in the Registration Statement under the caption “Additional Agreements Relating to the Transactions—Stock Purchase Right Agreement,” which is incorporated herein by reference. The Stock Purchase Right Agreement allows Investor, following the closing

 

2


of the separation and related transactions, to maintain its 25% interest in the common stock of Metavante Technologies, notwithstanding the exercise of certain employee options outstanding at the time of closing.

A copy of the Stock Purchase Right Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Credit Agreement

On November 1, 2007, Metavante Corporation (the “Borrower”), a Wisconsin corporation and, upon the closing of the separation and related transactions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metavante Technologies, and Metavante Technologies entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. and Baird Financial Corporation, as Documentation Agents, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as Syndication Agent, and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. Metavante Technologies and each domestic subsidiary of the Borrower guarantee the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The term loan facility matures on November 1, 2014 and the revolving credit facility matures on November 1, 2013. The term loan facility amortizes in nominal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount thereof starting in the second full quarter after the closing date, with the balance payable on the term loan facility maturity date. The commitments under the revolving facility terminate on its maturity date and any amounts owing thereunder are payable on that date.

Amounts drawn under the term loan facility initially will bear annual interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.75%, or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.75%. Amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility initially will bear annual interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.625%, or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.625%. On and after the first date on which financial statements are delivered to the lenders (which will occur after the completion of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower after November 1, 2007), interest rate margins will be determined pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio: amounts drawn under the term loan facility will bear annual interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.625% to 1.75%, or an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 0.75%; amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility will bear annual interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.375% to 1.50%, or an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.375% to 0.625%.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, dividends, liens, sale-leaseback transactions, loans and investments, debt, guarantees, hedging arrangements, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, transactions

 

3


with affiliates, changes in fiscal year, prepayments and modifications of subordinated debt instruments, and changes in lines of business. The Borrower is required to comply with a total leverage ratio test. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Metavante Technologies, the Borrower and each domestic subsidiary of the Borrower (whether now owned or subsequently acquired) including: (i) a pledge of all of the capital stock of the Borrower, (ii) a pledge of all the capital stock or equity interests held by Metavante Technologies, the Borrower or any subsidiary guarantor of the Borrower (which pledge, in the case of any first tier foreign subsidiary, is limited to 100% of the non-voting stock (if any) and 65% of the voting stock of such first tier subsidiary), (iii) security interests in, and mortgages on, all owned real property and equipment of the Borrower and its domestic subsidiaries, and (iv) security interests in substantially all personal property of Metavante Technologies, the Borrower and each domestic subsidiary of the Borrower, including inventory, accounts receivable, investment property, intellectual property, other general intangibles, intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, with certain exceptions, pursuant to a security agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) made by Metavante Technologies, the Borrower and its domestic subsidiaries on November 1, 2007. A copy of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.3.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Credit Agreement permits the Borrower to add one or more incremental term facilities to the term loan facility and/or to increase commitments under the revolving credit facility up to $350 million for all facilities if, at the time of such incurrence, the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the total leverage ratio test. A number of the terms of the incremental facility, including the interest rate to be charged thereon, would be subject to the agreement of the Borrower and the lenders at a later date.

Employment Agreements

In connection with the completion of the separation and related transactions, Metavante Technologies entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Martire and Hayford, as well as Messrs. Frank G. D’Angelo and Donald W. Layden, Jr., other executive officers of Metavante Technologies. The employment agreements establish a base salary, a target annual bonus (based on a percentage of base salary), as well as benefits and perquisites, in accordance with Metavante Technologies’ policies.

The employment agreements have an initial term of two or three years and automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms unless either party gives written notice of its intention not to renew at least 60 days prior to any expiration date. Under the employment agreements, each executive is entitled to a base salary which will be reviewed annually for increase by Metavante Technologies’ Compensation Committee, as well as to certain employee benefits, in accordance with Metavante Technologies’ policies for senior executives. The employment agreements provide for incentive compensation, at Metavante Technologies’ discretion, based upon performance.

The base salary amounts for each of the executive officers listed above are: Mr. Martire—$675,000; Mr. Hayford—$525,000; Mr. D’Angelo—$425,000; and Mr. Layden—$400,000. The employment agreements provide that these amounts may be increased in subsequent years, but generally may not be reduced. The target annual bonuses, as a percentage of base salary, are as follows: Mr. Martire—100%; Messrs. Hayford and D’Angelo—90%; and Mr. Layden—75%; with the actual bonuses to be between zero and two times target depending on the achievement of performance objectives.

If the employment agreements are terminated by Metavante Technologies without “cause” or by the executive with “good reason”—either of which is a “qualifying termination”—the executive will receive:

 

   

the executive’s earned but unpaid base salary and accrued but unused vacation pay, as well as reimbursement for certain business expenses incurred but not yet reimbursed by Metavante Technologies;

 

   

a lump sum cash severance equal to the product of two times the sum of (x) the executive’s base salary and (y) the executive’s target annual bonus;

 

   

the pro rata portion of executive’s annual bonus which would have been paid to the executive for the year of termination based on actual performance as determined at the discretion of Metavante Technologies’ Compensation Committee;

 

   

accelerated vesting in all time-based vesting awards under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan that would have become vested within one (1) year of the termination date;

 

   

to the extent the executive’s termination occurs within one year prior to the conclusion of a performance-based vesting cycle for a performance-based

 

11


award under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, the executive’s award will remain eligible for vesting based on actual performance (determined at the end of the performance-based vesting cycle), provided that such eligibility for vesting will be limited to a pro-rated portion of the award based on the executive’s period of service during the applicable performance period;

 

   

continuation of welfare benefits for 24 months following termination, subject to certain restrictions in the event the executive obtains other employment providing for such benefits; and

 

   

outplacement services from a provider selected by the executive which shall not exceed $25,000.

Payment of all or part of the lump sum cash severance may be delayed for six months following termination if required by Code Section 409A. No severance payments or benefits are payable upon a termination of employment that is not a qualifying termination, and payment of severance benefits are subject to the executive’s execution of a release of claims against Metavante Technologies.

“Cause” is defined as:

 

   

the executive’s willful refusal to perform in any material respect the executive’s duties and responsibilities for Metavante Technologies or an affiliate of Metavante Technologies or the executive’s failure to comply in any material respect with the policies and procedures of Metavante Technologies or an affiliate of Metavante Technologies at which the executive serves as an officer and/or director;

 

   

any conduct by the executive which is materially injurious to Metavante Technologies or an affiliate of Metavante Technologies or materially injurious to the business reputation of Metavante Technologies or an affiliate of Metavante Technologies;

 

   

the executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime (except for misdemeanors which are not materially injurious to, or to the business reputation of, Metavante Technologies or an affiliate of Metavante Technologies); or

 

   

fraud or other illegal conduct in the performance of the executive’s duties for Metavante Technologies or an affiliate of Metavante Technologies.

“Good reason” is defined as:

 

   

any reduction in the executive’s base salary or target annual bonus;

 

   

the relocation of the offices at which the executive is principally employed by greater than thirty (30) miles;

 

   

a material diminution in the executive’s title;

 

12


   

if the executive is or becomes a director of Metavante Technologies, removal of the executive as a director or the failure to re-elect the executive as a director;

 

   

removal of the executive from the Executive Committee of Metavante Technologies;

 

   

notice of nonrenewal of employment given by Metavante Technologies; or

 

   

a material breach of a material provision of the employment agreement by Metavante Technologies.

In addition to the items listed above, the employment agreements for Messrs. Martire and Hayford each contain one additional item included in the definition of “good reason.” In Mr. Martire’s employment agreement, “good reason” includes if Mr. Martire is not named Chairman of the Board of Directors of Metavante Technologies by the 18-month anniversary of the effective date of the separation and related transactions. In Mr. Hayford’s employment agreement, “good reason” includes if Mr. Hayford is not named President and Chief Operating Officer of Metavante Technologies by the 18-month anniversary of the effective date of the separation and related transactions.

The employment agreements subject each executive to standard ongoing confidentiality and work product obligations and to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants while employed by Metavante Technologies and for one year after termination of employment for any reason. The employment agreements also provide that each executive shall receive such perquisites as are provided by Metavante Technologies to its senior executive officers.

Copies of the employment agreements with Messrs. Martire, Hayford, D’Angelo and Layden are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Change of Control Agreements

Prior to the separation and related transactions, Metavante Corporation and Marshall & Ilsley entered into change of control agreements with certain executive officers of Metavante Corporation, including Messrs. Martire, Hayford, D’Angelo and Paul T. Danola. In connection with the closing of the separation and related transactions, and in order to assure management continuity and stability, Metavante Technologies entered into change of control agreements with certain of its officers including Messrs. Martire, Hayford, D’Angelo, Danola and Steven A. Rathgaber, who were named in the “Summary Compensation Table” of the Registration Statement and Mr. Oliver, the principal financial officer of Metavante Technologies (collectively, the “named executive officers”). Metavante Technologies also entered into a change of control agreement with Mr. Layden.

The change of control agreements with the executive officers are substantially similar to the change of control agreements that existed prior to the closing of the separation and related transactions. The change of control agreements guarantee the

 

13


executive officers specific payments and benefits upon a termination of employment as a result of a change of control of Metavante Technologies. If a change of control occurs, the agreement becomes effective and continues for one to three years after the date of the change of control. Under the change of control agreements, “change of control” is defined in substantially the same manner as the Metavante Corporation change of control agreements.

The Metavante Technologies’ change of control agreements provide for specified benefits if, after a change of control of Metavante Technologies occurs, the executive officer voluntarily terminates employment for “good reason” or is involuntarily terminated without “cause.”

“Good reason” is generally defined as a reduction of the executive’s base salary or target short-term incentive opportunity; Metavante Technologies’ failure to provide the executive with the same long-term incentive opportunities or benefits (including retirement plans) provided to other peer executives of the entity which employs the executive after the change of control; transferring the executive to a primary work location more than thirty (30) miles from the executive’s residence than the primary work location prior to the change of control; a material diminution of the executive’s title from the title prior to the change of control; or a material adverse change, without the executive’s consent, in the executive’s working conditions or status with Metavante Technologies.

“Cause” is generally defined as the executive’s willful, deliberate and continual failure to substantially perform the executive’s duties where such failure constitutes gross misconduct and results in (or was intended to result in) demonstrable material injury, monetary or otherwise, to Metavante Technologies or any of its affiliates, or the executive commits acts of fraud and dishonesty constituting a felony, as determined by a final judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, that results in gain to, or enrichment of, the executive at the expense of Metavante Technologies or any of its affiliates.

Upon a termination for good reason or without cause, the executive officer is entitled to a lump sum cash payment consisting of:

 

   

accrued but unpaid base salary and vacation accrued but not taken;

 

   

the higher of (i) the average annualized bonuses paid or payable to the executive by Metavante Technologies in respect of the three fiscal years prior to the change of control and (ii) the annualized bonus paid or payable for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the year in which the termination occurs (such amount being the “higher annual bonus”), prorated for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs;

 

   

three, two or one times (dependent on the length of the term of the agreement) the sum of: (i) the executive’s annual base salary (including certain deferred amounts) and (ii) the higher annual bonus;

 

14


   

a payment equal to the retirement benefits lost for three, two or one years (dependent on the length of the term of the agreement); and

 

   

three, two or one times (dependent on the length of the term of the agreement) the value of certain other fringe benefits.

In addition, in the event of a qualifying termination, the executive is entitled to continue medical and dental benefits for 36, 24 or 12 months (depending on the length of the term of the agreement) after the date of termination and has the right to purchase his or her company car, if any, at its fair market value. After the end of such period, Messrs. Martire, Hayford, D’Angelo and Layden will be deemed to be eligible for the most favorable retiree health benefits plan maintained by Metavante Technologies from time to time thereafter. Furthermore, each outstanding non-performance based stock option granted to the executive automatically vests in the event of a qualifying termination. The Metavante Technologies change of control agreements also, subject to certain limitations, provide for “gross-up” payments in the event payments to an executive under the Metavante Technologies change of control agreement are subject to the excise tax (the “excise tax”) provided for under Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar federal, state or local tax which may be imposed, in an amount such that the executive officer will be in the same after-tax position as if no 20% excise tax under Section 4999 had been imposed. However, if the applicable excise tax could be avoided by reducing the executive’s payment under the change of control agreement by $50,000 or less, and if the executive would be in a better after-tax position than if no reduction were made, then the executive is not entitled to any gross-up. The agreements of Messrs. Rathgaber and Danola do not provide for “gross-up” payments; instead, their payments would be reduced as necessary to avoid the excise tax.

Metavante Technologies’ change of control agreements also require Metavante Technologies to pay certain legal expenses incurred by the executive officer in connection with enforcing his or her rights under the change of control agreement or disputing Metavante Technologies’ decision to terminate him or her or the gross-up payments paid thereunder. Payment of all or part of the lump sum cash payment to an executive may be delayed for six months following termination if required by Code Section 409A. Severance payments and benefits are subject to the executive officer’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims against Metavante Technologies.

Copies of the forms of change of control agreements for Messrs. Martire and Hayford, Messrs. D’Angelo and Layden, Mr. Oliver, and Messrs. Danola and Rathgaber are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Grants of Stock Options and Restricted Stock

On November 5, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the grant of nonqualified stock options, effective as of November 12, 2007, under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to Messrs. Martire, Hayford, D’Angelo, Layden, Danola, Oliver, Rathgaber and Best. The number of shares covered by each option grant is as follows: Mr. Martire—750,000

shares, Mr. Hayford—575,000 shares, Mr. D’Angelo—275,000 shares, Mr. Layden—275,000 shares, Mr. Danola—100,000 shares, Mr. Oliver—70,000 shares, Mr. Rathgaber—50,000 shares and Mr. Best—4,800 shares. The exercise price for the options is equal to the average selling price of the stock of Metavante Technologies over the five business day period starting November 6, 2007, and ending November 12, 2007, and with the selling price for each individual day determined using a volume weighted average price for such day. The options are 25% vested upon grant. An additional 25% vests in each of the three years thereafter. The options have a maximum term of 10 years, but terminate earlier in the event of the executive officer’s death, disability or other termination of employment.

On November 5, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the grant of restricted stock awards, effective as of November 12, 2007, under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to Messrs. Oliver and Best. Mr. Oliver was granted restricted stock in an amount equal to $400,000, with the actual number of shares to be determined using the average selling price of the stock of Metavante Technologies over the five business day period starting November 6, 2007, and ending November 12, 2007, and with the selling price for each individual day determined using a volume weighted average price for such day. Mr. Best was granted 800 shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock awards vest at 25% in each of the four years after the date of the grant.

A copy of the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.10 and incorporated by reference herein. A form of non-statutory stock option award agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.10(a) and incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE I

The name of the corporation is Metavante Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation”).

ARTICLE II

The Corporation may engage in any lawful activity within the purposes for which corporations may be organized under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.

ARTICLE III

The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue, the designation of each class of shares, the authorized number of shares of each class and the par value thereof per share, shall be as follows:

 

Designation

of Class

  

Par Value

Per Share

  

Authorized

Number of Shares

Preferred Stock

   $ 0.01    5,000,000

Common Stock

   $ 0.01    200,000,000

Class A Common Stock

   $ 0.01    100,000,000

Any and all such shares of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may be issued for such consideration as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

The preferences, limitations and relative rights of such classes shall be as follows:

(1) Designation of Series. The Preferred Stock may from time to time as hereinafter provided be divided into and issued in one or more series, and the Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized to establish one or more series, to fix and determine the variations as among series and to fix and determine, to the extent provided in the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, the following designations, terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences of such series:

(a) The designations of such series and the number of shares which shall constitute such series, which number may at any time, or from time to time, be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the Board of Directors unless the Board of Directors shall have otherwise provided in establishing such series;


(b) The voting rights to which the holders of the shares of such series are entitled, if any;

(c) The yearly rate of dividends on the shares of such series, the dates in each year upon which such dividend shall be payable and, if such dividend shall be cumulative, the date or dates from which such dividend shall be cumulative;

(d) The amount per share payable on the shares of such series in the event of the liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary);

(e) The terms, if any, on which the shares of such series shall be redeemable, and, if redeemable, the amount per share payable thereon in the case of the redemption thereof (which amount may vary with regard to (i) shares redeemed on different dates; and (ii) shares redeemed through the operation of a sinking fund, if any, applicable to such shares, from the amount payable with respect to shares otherwise redeemed);

(f) The extent to and manner in which a sinking fund, if any, shall be applied to the redemption or purchase of the shares of such series, and the terms and provisions relative to the operation of such fund;

(g) The terms, if any, on which the shares of such series shall be convertible into shares of any other class or of any other series of the same or any other class and, if so convertible, the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion, including the method, if any, for adjustments of such prices or rates, and any other terms and conditions applicable thereto; and

(h) Such other terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences, if any, of such series as the Board of Directors may lawfully fix and determine and as shall not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of Wisconsin or these Restated Articles of Incorporation.

All shares of the same series of Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to dates from which any cumulative dividends thereon shall be cumulative. All shares of the Preferred Stock of all series shall be equal and shall be identical in all respects, except as permitted by the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (1).

(2) Dividends. The holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the annual rate fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to each series of shares and no more. Such dividends shall be payable on such dates and in respect of such periods in such year as may be fixed by the Board of Directors to the holders of record thereof on such date as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment for each dividend period before any dividend (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock or Class A Common Stock, respectively) for the same period shall be paid upon or set apart for payment on the Common Stock or Class A Common Stock, and, if dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be cumulative, all unpaid dividends thereon for any past dividend period shall be fully paid or declared and set apart for payment, but without interest, before any

 

2


dividend (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock) shall be paid upon or set apart for payment on the Common Stock or Class A Common Stock. The holders of Preferred Stock shall not, however, be entitled to participate in any other or additional earnings or profits of the Corporation, except for such premiums, if any, as may be payable in case of redemption, liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(3) Redemption. In the event that the shares of any series of the Preferred Stock shall be made redeemable as provided in subparagraph (e) of paragraph (1), above, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem at any time or from time to time all or any part of such shares, upon notice duly given as hereinafter provided, by paying for each share the redemption price then applicable thereto fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in subparagraph (e) of paragraph (1), above.

Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to the holders of record of the shares called for redemption at their respective addresses as shown on the stock records of the Corporation. In case of a redemption of a part of a series of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the Corporation shall select by lot, in such manner as the Board of Directors may determine, the shares so to be redeemed.

On or before the date fixed for a redemption specified therein, the Corporation shall deposit funds sufficient to redeem such shares with a bank or trust company in good standing, as designated in such notice, organized under the laws of the United States or of the State of Wisconsin, doing business in the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and having a capital, surplus and undivided profit aggregating at least $50,000,000.00, according to its last published statement of condition, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, and if the name and address of such bank or trust company and the deposit or intent to deposit the redemption funds in such trust account shall have been stated in such notice of redemption, and the Corporation shall have given such bank or trust company irrevocable instructions and authorization to pay the amount payable upon redemption to the proper holders upon surrender of certificates representing such shares, then, from and after the mailing of such notice and the making of such deposit, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever and the right to receive dividends thereon and all rights of the holders of such shares in or with respect to such shares of the Corporation shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive from such bank or trust company the amount payable upon redemption together with all accrued but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption, without interest, upon the surrender of the certificates representing the shares to be redeemed, and the right to exercise privileges of conversion, if any, on or before the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as may be fixed for the expiration thereof.

Any funds so deposited by the Corporation which shall not be required for such redemption because of the exercise of any right of conversion subsequent to the time of such deposit shall be released and repaid to the Corporation upon its request. Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of five (5) years (or such shorter period as shall be provided by law) after the date fixed for redemption shall be released and repaid to the Corporation, after which holders of the shares called for redemption shall no longer look to the said bank or trust company but shall look only to the Corporation, or to others, as the case may be, for payment of any lawful claim for such funds which the holders of said shares may still have. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time.

 

3


(4) Reissue of Shares. Shares of the Preferred Stock which shall have been converted, redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise, shall be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

(5) Liquidation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid the full amount payable on such shares upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to such shares as provided in subparagraph (d) of paragraph (1), above, before any amount shall be paid to the holders of the Common Stock or Class A Common Stock. After payment to holders of the Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Common Stock and Class A Common Stock.

(6) Designation of Rights and Preferences of Class A Common Stock. Except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) below, the Class A Common Stock shall be identical in all respects to the Common Stock.

(a) Voting Rights and Distributions. Shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter or to participate in any dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the Common Stock.

(b) Conversion of Class A Common Stock. At 12:01 a.m. New York City Time on the first day following the Closing Date (as defined in the Investment Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2007, among Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, Metavante Corporation, Montana Merger Sub Inc. and WPM, L.P.), each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock shall automatically convert into one share of Common Stock, without any action by any of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock or Class A Common Stock or any other person, and the Corporation shall not be required to notify any person that such conversion has been effective. At such conversion time, the rights of any holder with respect to shares of converted Class A Common Stock shall cease and such holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. Promptly upon surrender to the Corporation of a certificate or certificates for shares of converted Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, in accordance with the surrendering holder’s instructions, the certificate or certificates for Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

ARTICLE IV

Except as set forth in any agreement between the Corporation and any such holder, no holder of any stock of the Corporation shall have any preemptive or other subscription rights nor be entitled, as of right, to purchase or subscribe for any part of the unissued stock of the Corporation or any of additional stock issued by reason of any increase of authorized capital stock of the Corporation or other securities whether or not convertible into stock of the Corporation.

ARTICLE V

The address of the registered office of the Corporation is 8040 Excelsior Drive, Suite 200, Madison, Wisconsin 53717 and the name of its registered agent at such address is C T Corporation System.

ARTICLE VI

All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors. The number of directors (exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series pursuant to the provisions of these Restated Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto) shall be not less than three directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

A director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. Any newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any other vacancy on the Board of Directors, however caused, shall be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum (or by a sole remaining director), and if there are no directors then in office by a vote of the shareholders. Any director so elected to fill any vacancy in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any vacancy in a director position elected by the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, voting separately as a series, shall be filled by vote of such shareholders.

Exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series pursuant to the provisions of these Restated Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto, no director of the Corporation may be removed from office except for Cause and by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders duly called for such purpose. As used in this Article VI, the term “Cause” shall mean solely malfeasance arising from the performance of a director’s duties which has a materially adverse effect on the business of the Corporation.

No person, except those nominated by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be eligible for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of shareholders unless a

 

5


written request, in the form and within the applicable notice period established by the Corporation’s By-laws, is received from a shareholder of record by the Secretary of the Corporation. Where such a request for nomination and such consent have been timely received, but such nominee is unable or declines to serve, the person who placed the individual’s name in nomination may request that an alternative name be placed in nomination at the meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of these Restated Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto. During the prescribed terms of office of such directors the Board of Directors shall consist of such directors in addition to the number of directors determined as provided in the first paragraph of this Article VI.

ARTICLE VII

The period of existence of the Corporation shall be perpetual.

ARTICLE VIII

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Restated Articles of Incorporation or the Corporation’s By-Laws (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, these Restated Articles of Incorporation or the Corporation’s By-Laws), the Corporation’s By-Laws may be amended, altered or repealed, and new By-Laws may be enacted, only by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders duly called for such purpose, or by a vote of not less than a majority of the entire Board of Directors then in office.

ARTICLE IX

These Restated Articles of Incorporation supersede and take the place of the heretofore existing Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation and any amendments thereto.

The undersigned officer of Metavante Holding Company hereby certifies that the foregoing amendment and restatement of the Articles of Incorporation of said corporation contains amendments to the Articles of Incorporation requiring shareholder approval, and was duly adopted by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the corporation on October 25, 2007 in accordance with Section 180.1003 of the WBCL.

The executive offices of the Corporation shall be located at its principal office. The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Wisconsin, as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

ARTICLE 2. SHAREHOLDERS

2.1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on the fourth Wednesday in the month of May in each year at 10 A.M., or at such other time and/or date as shall be fixed by the Secretary of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, for the purposes of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may have been properly brought before the meeting in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of the By-laws. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday in the State of Wisconsin, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding Business Day.

2.2. Special Meetings.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by the WBCL and subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of capital stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, special meetings of shareholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Corporation pursuant to a resolution approved by not less than a majority of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the Board of Directors upon the demand, in accordance with this Section 2.2, of the holders of record of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date to determine the shareholders entitled to make such a demand (the “Demand Record Date”). The Demand Record Date shall not precede the date upon which


the resolution fixing the Demand Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Demand Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder of record seeking to have shareholders demand a special meeting shall, by sending written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, request the Board of Directors to fix a Demand Record Date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which a valid request to fix a Demand Record Date is received, adopt a resolution fixing the Demand Record Date and shall make a public announcement of such Demand Record Date. If no Demand Record Date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days after the date on which such request is received by the Secretary of the Corporation, the Demand Record Date shall be the 10th day after the first day on which a valid written request to set a Demand Record Date is received by the Secretary of the Corporation. To be valid, such written request shall set forth the purpose or purposes for which the special meeting is to be held, shall be signed by one or more shareholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), shall bear the date of signature of each such shareholder (or proxy or other representative) and shall set forth the following information about each such shareholder and about the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the request is made: (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such shareholder(s) and the beneficial owner or owners, if any, (ii) a representation that the shareholder is a shareholder of record and will remain such through the record date for the meeting and that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such shareholder(s) and the beneficial owner or owners and (iv) such other information regarding each proposal made by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the then current proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such proposals.

(c) In order for a shareholder or shareholders to demand a special meeting, a written demand or demands for a special meeting by the holders of record as of the Demand Record Date of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting, calculated as if the Demand Record Date were the record date for the special meeting, must be delivered to the Corporation. To be valid, each written demand by a shareholder for a special meeting shall (i) set forth the specific purpose or purposes for which the special meeting is to be held (which purpose or purposes shall be limited to the purpose or purposes set forth in the written request to set a Demand Record Date received by the Corporation pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.2), (ii) shall be signed by one or more persons who as of the Demand Record Date are shareholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), (iii) shall bear the date of signature of each such shareholder (or proxy or other representative), (iv) shall set forth the following information about each such shareholder and about the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the request is made: (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such shareholder(s) and the beneficial

 

2


owner or owners, if any, and (B) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such shareholder(s) and the beneficial owner or owners, and (v) shall be sent to the Secretary of the Corporation by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be received by the Secretary of the Corporation within 70 days after the Demand Record Date.

(d) The Corporation shall not be required to call a special meeting upon shareholder demand unless, in addition to the documents required by paragraph (c) of this Section 2.2, the Secretary of the Corporation receives a written agreement signed by each Soliciting Shareholder (as defined below), pursuant to which each Soliciting Shareholder, jointly and severally, agrees to pay the Corporation’s costs of holding the special meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing proxy materials for the Corporation’s own solicitation, provided that if each of the resolutions introduced by any Soliciting Shareholder at such meeting is adopted, and each of the individuals nominated by or on behalf of any Soliciting Shareholder for election as director at such meeting is elected, then the Soliciting Shareholders shall not be required to pay such costs. For purposes of this paragraph (d), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(1) “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(2) “Participant” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(3) “Person” means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.

(4) “Proxy” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(5) “Solicitation” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(6) “Soliciting Shareholder” shall mean, with respect to any special meeting demanded by a shareholder or shareholders, each of the following Persons:

(i) if the number of shareholders signing the demand or demands for a meeting delivered to the Corporation pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.2 is 10 or fewer, each Person signing any such demand; or

 

3


(ii) if the number of shareholders signing the demand or demands for a meeting delivered to the Corporation pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.2 is more than 10, each Person who either (I) was a Participant in any Solicitation of such demand or demands or (II) at the time of the delivery to the Corporation of the documents described in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.2, had engaged or intended to engage in any Solicitation of Proxies for use at such special meeting (other than a Solicitation of Proxies on behalf of the Corporation).

A “Soliciting Shareholder” shall also mean each Affiliate of a Soliciting Shareholder described in clause (i) or (ii) above who is a member of such Soliciting Shareholder’s “group” for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act, and any other Affiliate of such a Soliciting Shareholder, if a majority of the directors then in office determine, reasonably and in good faith, that such Affiliate should be required to sign the written notice described in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.2 and/or the written agreement described in this paragraph (d) in order to prevent the purposes of this Section 2.2 from being evaded.

(e) Except as provided in the following sentence, any special meeting shall be held at such hour and day as may be designated by the Board of Directors. In the case of any special meeting called by the Board of Directors upon the demand of shareholders (a “Demand Special Meeting”), the date of the Demand Special Meeting shall be not more than 70 days after the record date of such special meeting as determined in accordance with Section 2.7 of these By-laws; provided, that, in the event that the directors then in office fail to designate an hour and date for a Demand Special Meeting within 10 days after the date that valid written demands for such meeting by the holders of record as of the Demand Record Date of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting, calculated as if the Demand Record Date were the record date for the special meeting, are delivered to the Corporation (the “Delivery Date”), then such meeting shall be held at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the 100th day after the Delivery Date or, if such 100th day is not a Business Day, on the first preceding Business Day. In fixing a meeting date for any special meeting, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant within the good faith exercise of its business judgment, including, without limitation, the nature of the action proposed to be taken, the facts and circumstances surrounding any demand for such meeting, and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting.

(f) The Corporation may engage independent inspectors of elections to act as an agent of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported written demand or demands for a special meeting received by the Secretary of the Corporation. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no purported demand shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Corporation until the earlier of (i) 5 Business Days following receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of such purported demand and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the

 

4


Corporation that the valid demands received by the Secretary of the Corporation represent at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on each issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting calculated as if the Demand Record Date were the record date for the special meeting. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to limit the ability of the Board of Directors or any shareholder to contest the validity of any demand, whether during or after such 5 Business Day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto).

(g) For purposes of these By-laws, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of Wisconsin are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

2.3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer or President may designate any place, within or without the State of Wisconsin, as the place of meeting for the annual meeting or for any special meeting. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation. Any meeting adjourned in accordance with these By-laws shall reconvene at any place designated by the chairman of the meeting or by a vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting, even if less than a quorum.

2.4. Notice of Meeting. The Corporation shall notify shareholders of the date, time and place of each annual and special shareholders’ meeting not less than ten nor more than 70 days before the date of the meeting. In the event of any Demand Special Meeting, notice of such meeting shall be sent prior to the later of (x) two days after the record date of such Demand Special Meeting and (y) 30 days after the Delivery Date. Notice of a special meeting shall include a description of each purpose for which the meeting is called. Notice of the meeting shall be given only to those shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, unless otherwise required by the law. Notice may be communicated in person, by telephone, telegraph, teletype, facsimile or other forms of wire or wireless communication, by mail or private carrier, or by electronic transmission. Written notice, which includes notice by electronic transmission, to a shareholder shall be deemed to be effective on the earlier of: (a) the date received; (b) the date it is deposited in the United States mail when addressed to the shareholder’s address shown in the Corporation’s current record of shareholders, with postage prepaid; (c) on the date shown on the return receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee; (d) the date sent, if transmitted by telegraph, teletype, facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication; (e) the date delivered to a courier or deposited in a designated receptacle, if sent by private carrier, when addressed to the shareholder’s address shown in the Corporation’s current record of shareholders; or (f) when electronically transmitted to the shareholder in a manner authorized by the shareholder.

2.5. Advance Notice of Shareholder-Proposed Business at Annual Meetings. At an annual meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given in accordance with Section 2.4 of these By-laws, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. In addition to any other

 

5


applicable requirements for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice of such business in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding year. A shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the shareholder proposing such business, and the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (iii) a representation that the shareholder is a shareholder of record and will remain such through the record date for the meeting and that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to move the consideration of the business set forth in the notice, (iv) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder and the beneficial owner or owners on whose behalf the proposal is made, and (v) any material interest of the shareholder in such business. In addition, any such shareholders shall be required to provide such further information as may be requested by the Corporation in order to comply with federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

Notwithstanding anything contained in these By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.

The chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

2.6. Procedure for Nomination of Directors. Only persons nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors, except as may otherwise be provided by the terms of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) with respect to the rights of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, by any nominating committee or persons appointed by the Board, or by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.6.

Nominations other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any nominating committee or persons appointed by the Board shall be made pursuant to timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder’s request to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors, together with the written consent of such person to serve as a director, must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding year. To be in proper written form, such

 

6


shareholder’s notice shall set forth in writing (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, (iv) a description of all arrangements and understandings between the shareholder or beneficial owner or owners on whose behalf the nomination is made and each proposed nominee and any person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the intended nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder, and (v) such other information relating to such person as is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice, (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such shareholder and the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (ii) a representation that the shareholder is a shareholder of record and will remain such through the record date for the meeting and that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to make the nomination(s) set forth in the notice, and (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such shareholder and the beneficial owner or owners on whose behalf the nomination is made. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No persons shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and in the Articles. The chairman of any meeting of shareholders shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Articles and these By-laws; and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination(s) shall be disregarded.

2.7. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining any voting group entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive any distribution or dividend from the Corporation, or in order to determine those shareholders entitled to take any other action authorized by these By-laws or the WBCL, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such record date shall not be more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. In the case of any Demand Special Meeting, (i) the record date for such special meeting shall be not later than the 30th day after the Delivery Date and (ii) if the Board of Directors fails to fix the record date of such special meeting within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business on such 30th day shall be the record date for such special meeting, and the shareholders of record on such record date shall be the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. If no record date is so fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive a dividend or any other distribution, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on:

(a) with respect to an annual shareholders’ meeting or any special shareholders’ meeting called by the Board of Directors or any person specifically authorized by these By-laws to call a meeting, the day before the first notice is given to shareholders;

 

7


(b) with respect to the payment of a dividend, the date the Board of Directors authorizes the dividend; and

(c) with respect to any other distribution to shareholders, other than one involving a repurchase or reacquisition of shares, the date the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution.

When a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall be applied to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

2.8. Shareholders’ List. After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare a list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of a shareholders’ meeting. The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares and show the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. The shareholder list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder beginning two Business Days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting. The list shall be available at the Corporation’s principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting is to be held. A shareholder, or his or her agent or attorney, is entitled, on written demand, to inspect and to copy the list during regular business hours and at his or her expense, during the period it is available for inspection, provided the shareholder, or his or her agent or attorney, demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Corporation he or she satisfies the requirements of the WBCL. The Corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder, or his or her agent or attorney, during the time of the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders’ list shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

2.9. Quorum; Votes. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the Articles or the WBCL provides otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter.

If the Articles or the WBCL provide for voting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately. Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group entitled to vote on the matter.

Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is deemed present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. If a quorum exists, action on a matter by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles or the WBCL requires a greater number of affirmative votes provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in the Articles, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

8


2.10. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder entitled to vote may authorize another person to act for the shareholder by appointing the person as proxy. A shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized officer, director, employee, agent, or attorney-in-fact may use any of the following means to appoint a proxy:

(a) In writing by signing or causing the shareholder’s signature to be affixed to an appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(b) By transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission of the appointment to the person who will be appointed as proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent authorized to receive the transmission by the person who will be appointed as proxy.

(c) By any other means permitted by the WBCL.

Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, in the form of a signed appointment form or an electronic transmission of the appointment, before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

2.11. Voting Shares Owned by the Corporation. Shares of the Corporation belonging to it shall not be voted directly or indirectly at any meeting of shareholders and shall not be considered in determining whether a quorum exists or for any other purpose relating to the voting of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity are outstanding shares and may be voted and shall be considered in any such determination.

2.12. Shares in the Name of Another Corporation or a Trustee. Shares issued in the name of another corporation may be voted by the president of such corporation, or any other officer or proxy appointed by such president in the absence of express written notice to the Corporation of the designation of some other person by the board of directors or by-laws of such other corporation. Shares in the name of a trustee shall be voted in the manner designated by a majority of the trustees or their proxy unless a greater concurrence of trustees is required by the trust, of which the Corporation shall have actual notice.

2.13. Adjournments/Postponement. An annual or special meeting of shareholders may be adjourned by a vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting entitled to vote in the election of directors, even if less than a quorum, or by the chairman of the annual or special meeting of the shareholders; provided, however, that an adjourned Demand Special Meeting shall be reconvened on or before the 100th day following the Delivery Date. Upon being reconvened, the adjourned meeting shall be deemed to be a continuation of the initial meeting. A quorum will be deemed present if a quorum of shares was represented at the initial meeting and any business that could be conducted at the initial meeting may be considered at the adjourned meeting. A meeting may be adjourned at any time, including after action on one or

 

9


more matters, and for any purpose, including, but not limited to, allowing additional time to solicit votes on one or more matters, to disseminate additional information to shareholders or to count votes; provided, however, that an adjourned Demand Special Meeting shall be reconvened on or before the 100th day following the Delivery Date. Notice is not required for an adjourned meeting if the date, time and place of the adjournment are announced at the meeting before adjournment. If a new record date for an adjourned meeting is fixed, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date. Only those shares entitled to vote at the initial meeting will be entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. The Board of Directors acting by resolution may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled annual meeting or special meeting; provided, however, that a Demand Special Meeting shall not be postponed beyond the 100th day following the Delivery Date.

2.14. Polling. In the discretion of the chairman of an annual or special meeting of shareholders, polls may be closed at any time after commencement of the meeting. When there are several matters to be considered at a meeting, the polls may remain open during the meeting as to any or all matters to be considered, as the chairman may declare. Polls will remain open as to matters to be considered at any adjournment of the meeting unless the chairman declares otherwise. At the discretion of the chairman, the polls may remain open after adjournment of a meeting for not more than 72 hours for the purpose of collecting proxies and counting votes. All votes submitted prior to the announcement of the results of the balloting shall be valid and counted. The results of balloting shall be final and binding after announcement of such results.

2.15 Chairman of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board or, in his or her absence or inability or refusal to act, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders.

ARTICLE 3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3.1. General Powers. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors, subject to any limitations set forth in the Articles.

3.2. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. As provided for in the Articles, the number of directors (exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, voting separately as a series pursuant to the provisions of the Articles applicable thereto) shall not be less than three directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. A director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify. Directors need not be residents of the State of Wisconsin or shareholders of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible to be elected a director at any meeting of shareholders held on or after the date he or she attains age seventy-two (72). The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may waive the age limitation or establish a greater age from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election,

 

10


term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Articles applicable thereto. During the prescribed terms of office of such directors, the Board of Directors shall consist of such directors in addition to the number of directors determined as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 3.2.

3.3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held, without other notice, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of shareholders, and each adjourned session thereof. The Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

3.4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman of the Board, President, Secretary or a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place either within or without the State of Wisconsin as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.

3.5. Notice. Notice of meetings of the Board of Directors may be communicated in person, by telephone, telegraph, teletype, facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication or by mail or private carrier. Notice of meetings, except the regular annual meeting or additional regular meetings as provided in Section 3.3, shall be given at least 48 hours prior to the time set for the meeting if communicated orally or by telegraph, teletype, facsimile, other form of wire or wireless communication or by electronic transmission, and at least 5 days prior to the date set for the meeting if communicated by any other means. Written notice, which includes notice by electronic transmission, shall be deemed effective and given on the earlier of: (a) when received; (b) 2 days after the date it is deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, when addressed to the director at an address designated by him or her to receive such notice or, in the absence of such designation, at his or her business or home address as they appear in the Corporation’s records; (c) the date and time sent, if transmitted by telegraph, teletype, facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication when sent to the director at a location designated by the director to receive such notice or, in the absence of such designation, at his or her business or home as those locations appear in the Corporation’s records; (d) the date delivered to a courier or deposited in a designated receptacle, if sent by private carrier, when addressed to the director at an address designated by him or her to receive such notice or, in the absence of such designation, at his or her business or home address as it appears in the Corporation’s records; or (e) when electronically transmitted. Oral notice shall be deemed effective when communicated. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given to any director of the Corporation under these By-laws, the Articles or under the provisions of any statute, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time whether before or after the time of meeting, by the director entitled to such notice, shall be deemed equivalent to timely notice. A director’s attendance at, or participation in, a meeting waives any required notice unless the director at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon his or her arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of such meeting.

 

11


3.6. Quorum; Votes. A majority of the number of directors specified in or fixed in accordance with Section 3.2 shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, but though less than such quorum is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any vacancy in a director position elected by the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, voting separately as a series, shall be filled by vote of such shareholders.

3.9. Compensation. The Board of Directors, by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, may establish reasonable compensation of all directors for services to the Corporation as directors or otherwise, or may delegate such authority to an appropriate committee.

3.10. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his or her arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; or (b) the director dissents or abstains from an action taken and minutes of the meeting are prepared that show the director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken; or (c) the director delivers written notice of his or her dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting; or (d) the director dissents or abstains from an action taken, minutes of the meeting are prepared that fail to show the director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken and the director delivers to the Corporation a written notice of that failure promptly after receiving the minutes.

3.13. Telephonic Meetings. Any or all directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication which allows all directors participating to simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2007 (the “Investment Agreement”), among the Company, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“MI Corp.”), New M&I Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, Metavante Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, and Investor, Investor has agreed to acquire, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such agreement, (i) newly issued shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) of the Company and (ii) certain purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Right Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and Investor (“Purchase Rights”) (such transaction, the “Investment”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Investor will own 29,732,214 shares of Class A Common Stock;

WHEREAS, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the first day following the date hereof, each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock held by Investor shall automatically convert into a share of Common Stock;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement that the Company execute and deliver this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each of the parties hereto wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions regarding the Investment and the ownership of shares of Common Stock, including certain registration rights applicable to such shares, restrictions on the transfer of such shares, restrictions on certain actions relating to the Company, and the management of the Company and its subsidiaries.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I

GOVERNANCE

1.1 Composition of the Board of Directors. (a) The by-laws of the Company shall provide that so long as this Article I is in effect the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall consist of eleven directors, such directors to be nominated and elected in accordance with this Agreement and the provisions of the by-laws of the Company. As of the Closing Date, the directors shall consist of (i) three directors designated by Investor (such designees and any persons nominated pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and elected as directors and any persons designated as replacement directors for such designees or their replacements pursuant to Section 1.1(c), the “Investor Designees”), (ii) two directors who shall be officers of the Company, one of whom shall be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and one of whom shall be the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, (iii) one director who shall be designated by MI Corp. and shall initially be Dennis J. Kuester (such designee and any person designated as a replacement director for such designee or their replacement pursuant to Section 1.1(d), the “MI Designee”), and (iv) five additional directors designated pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Investment Agreement, each of whom shall qualify as Independent Directors and one of whom shall also be a director of MI Corp. (such designees, any persons nominated and elected as directors or designated as replacement directors for such designees or their replacements pursuant to Section 1.1(d), the “Initial Unaffiliated Directors”); provided, however, that if Investor or MI Corp. is prevented by Applicable Law or regulatory process from designating any of its designees pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), (iii) or (iv) (in the case of a MI Corp. director), as applicable, or if such designation is otherwise prohibited by Section 6.2(a) of the Investment Agreement (because such designation would result in the Company being an affiliate of New MI Corp. for purposes of Section 23A or 23B of the Federal Reserve Act), then such directors shall be Independent Directors selected pursuant to the foregoing clause (iv) in a manner which addresses the reason that the designee was originally prevented from being designated. The Chairman of the Board of the Company shall be Dennis J. Kuester for a period of one year from the date hereof. If Dennis J. Kuester is unable to serve as Chairman of the Board during such one-year period, and after such one-year period, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall, subject to the approval of the Board, succeed Dennis J. Kuester as the Chairman of the Board. In connection with the 2008 annual meeting of the Company, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that the Investor Designees are nominated for re-election to the Board at such annual meeting and the remaining directors shall be nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the by-laws of the Company.

(b) Following the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company: (i) so long as the Investor Percentage Interest equals or exceeds 17.5%, Investor shall

 

2


have the right to nominate three directors; (ii) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 17.5% but equals or exceeds 7.5% Investor shall have the right to nominate two directors; (iii) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 7.5% but the fair market value, as determined by the Board in good faith, of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Investor Group equals or exceeds $150 million, Investor shall have the right to nominate one director; and (iv) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 7.5% and the fair market value, as determined by the Board in good faith, of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Investor Group is less than $150 million, Investor shall not have the right to nominate any directors. Such nominees shall, subject to Applicable Law, be the Company’s nominees to serve on the Board and the Company shall solicit proxies for them to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board. Following the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, the remaining directors of the Board shall be nominated in accordance with this Agreement and the provisions of the by-laws of the Company.

(c) Subject to Section 1.1(b), the remaining Investor Designees then in office shall have the right to designate any replacement for an Investor Designee upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such director; provided, that if an Investor Designee is removed for cause by the shareholders, the remaining Investor Designee shall not designate the person who was removed as such replacement Investor Designee.

(d) Until the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, (i) the remaining MI Designees then in office shall have the right to designate any replacement for a MI Designee upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such director; provided, that if an MI Designee is removed for cause by the shareholders, the remaining MI Designees shall not designate the person who was removed as such replacement MI Designee and (ii) the Initial Unaffiliated Directors by majority vote or consent of those Initial Unaffiliated Directors then in office shall have the right to designate any replacement for an Initial Unaffiliated Director upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such director; provided, that if an Initial Unaffiliated Director is removed for cause by the shareholders, the remaining Initial Unaffiliated Directors shall not designate the person who was removed as such replacement Initial Unaffiliated Director.

(e) For purposes of constituting the initial Board as of the Closing Date upon consummation of the Transactions, no Investor Designee shall be deemed not to be an Independent Director because of the ownership of Common Stock by Investor or because of the rights of Investor under this Agreement.

(f) Until the Board shall determine otherwise, the regular meetings of the Board shall be held on the third Thursday of each February, April, June, August, October and December.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Investor may request in writing, on behalf of Investor Group, that the Company effect the registration of all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by Investor Group (a “Registration Request”), provided that, prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by Investor Group pursuant to a Registration Request shall be limited to an amount that will not cause the Investor Percentage Interest to be less than 25%. Promptly after its receipt of any Registration Request, the Company will give written notice of such request to all other Shareholders, and will use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered in the Registration Request or by any other Shareholders by written notice to the Company given within fifteen Business Days after the date the Company has given such Shareholders notice of the Registration Request. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1. Any registration requested by Investor pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Demand Registration”.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations. Investor will be entitled to initiate no more than four Demand Registrations (including Short-Form Registrations permitted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)). No request for registration will count for the purposes of the limitations in this Section 2.1(b) if (i) Investor determines in good faith to withdraw the proposed registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement relating to such request due to marketing conditions or regulatory reasons relating to the Company, (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within 180 days of the date such Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission (other than solely by reason of Investor having refused to proceed) and Investor withdraws its Registration Request prior to such Registration Statement being declared effective, (iii) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to Investor’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty days of the date of such order, (iv) more

 

6


than 10% of the Registrable Securities requested by Investor to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 2.1(f), or (v) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material default or breach thereunder by Investor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) regardless of whether or not such request counts toward the limitation set forth above.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”), and, if requested by Investor and available to the Company, such Short-Form Registration will be a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415. In no event shall the Company be obligated to effect any shelf registration other than pursuant to a Short-Form Registration. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Short-Form Registration.

(d) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a registration statement, including a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415, with respect to a Demand Registration would (i) require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board (A) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading, (B) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (C) would in the good faith judgment of the Board reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business if made at such time, or (ii) would in the good faith and judgment of the Board reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Company may upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the participants in such registration (each of whom hereby agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed to such participants) delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement, provided, that the Company shall not be permitted to do so (x) more than three times during any twelve-month period or (y) for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, one hundred twenty-five days during any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, such Shareholders agree to suspend, promptly upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of any prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. If the Company so postpones the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, Investor will be

 

7


entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request will not count for the purposes of the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(b). The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such aborted registration or prospectus.

(e) Selection of Underwriters.

(i) If Investor intends that the Registrable Securities covered by its Registration Request shall be distributed by means of an underwritten offering, Investor will so advise the Company as a part of the Registration Request, and the Company will include such information in the notice sent by the Company to the other Shareholders with respect to such Registration Request. In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering will be chosen by Investor subject to the prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Company.

(ii) If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 will be conditioned upon such Shareholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Shareholder will (together with the Company and the other Shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. If any Shareholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and Investor.

(f) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company will not include in any underwritten registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 any securities that are not Registrable Securities, without the prior written consent of Investor. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that in its reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities of Investor Group and (ii) second, Registrable Securities of any other Shareholders who have delivered written requests for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Shareholder and (iii) any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall not be deemed to have been effected unless it is declared effective by the Commission and remains effective for the period specified in Section 2.3(b).

2.2 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities, other than a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or a Special Registration, and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice (and in any event no later than fifteen Business Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement with respect to such registration) to all Shareholders of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 2.2(d), will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten Business Days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any Shareholder that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the tenth Business Day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Shareholder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration, and except for the obligation to pay Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2.2(c) the Company will have no liability to any Shareholder in connection with such termination or withdrawal.

(b) Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 2.2(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Shareholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a). In such event, the right of any Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be conditioned upon such Shareholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Shareholder will (together with the Company and the other Shareholders and other holders of securities distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If any Shareholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and Investor.

(c) Piggyback Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.

(d) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing

 

9

17

3.3 Anti-Takeover Provisions. From the date hereof until the Standstill Termination Date, the Company shall take all reasonable actions to ensure that (i) to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, no “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation under Wisconsin law, (ii) no anti-takeover provision in the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or other similar organizational documents of its subsidiaries, and (iii) no shareholder rights plan, “poison pill” or similar measure, in each case that contains restrictions that are different from or in addition to those contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (including with respect to the time periods specified in Section 3.1), is applicable to Investor’s ownership of Common Stock.

3.5 Preemptive Rights.

(a) Sale of New Stock. Until the date on which the Investor’s Investor Percentage Interest is less than 10%, if the Company at any time or from time to time makes a Qualified Equity Offering, Investor shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company for the same price and on the same terms as such securities are proposed to be offered to others, in the aggregate up to the amount of New Stock required to enable it to maintain its Investor Percentage Interest.

(b) Notice.

(i) In the event the Company intends to make a Qualified Equity Offering that is an underwritten public offering or a private offering made to

 

18


financial institutions for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, no later than five business days after the initial filing of a registration statement with the Commission with respect to such underwritten public offering or the commencement of marketing with respect to such Rule 144A offering, it shall give Investor written notice of its intention (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed in respect of such offering) describing, to the extent then known, the anticipated amount of securities, range of prices, timing and other material terms of such offering. Investor shall have five business days from the date of receipt of any such notice to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise such preemptive purchase rights and as to the amount of New Stock Investor desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(a) (the “Designated Stock”). Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of Investor to purchase the Designated Stock so specified at the range of prices and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure to respond during such five Business Day period shall constitute a waiver of the preemptive rights in respect of such offering.

(ii) If the Company proposes to make a Qualified Equity Offering that is not an underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering (a “Private Placement”), the Company shall give Investor written notice of its intention, describing, to the extent then known, the anticipated amount of securities, price and other material terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the same. Investor shall have five Business Days from the date of receipt of the notice required by the immediately preceding sentence to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise such preemptive purchase rights and as to the amount of Designated Stock Investor desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(a). Such notice shall constitute the binding agreement of Investor to purchase the amount of Designated Stock so specified (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of New Stock to be offered in such Private Placement is subsequently reduced) upon the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure of Investor to respond during the five Business Day period referred to in the second preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of the preemptive rights in respect of such offering.

(c) Purchase Mechanism.

(i) If Investor exercises its preemptive purchase rights provided in Section 3.5(b)(ii), the closing of the purchase of the New Stock with respect to which such right has been exercised shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Private Placement giving rise to such preemptive purchase rights and shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the Private Placement or on such other date as the Company and the Investor shall agree in writing; provided, that

 

19


the actual amount of Designated Stock to be sold to the Investor pursuant to its exercise of preemptive rights hereunder shall be reduced if the aggregate amount of New Stock sold in the Private Placement is reduced and, at the option of the Investor (to be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company within three Business Days of receipt of notice of such increase), shall be increased if such aggregate amount of New Stock sold in the Private Placement is increased. In connection with its purchase of Designated Stock, Investor shall execute an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company containing representations, warranties and agreements of Investor that are customary for private placement transactions.

(ii) If the Investor exercises its preemptive purchase rights provided in Section 3.5(b)(i), the Company shall offer the Investor, if such underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering is consummated, the Designated Stock (as adjusted to reflect the actual size of such offering when priced) at the same price as the New Stock is offered to the underwriters or initial purchasers and shall provide written notice of such price to Investor as soon as practicable prior to such consummation. Contemporaneously with the execution of any underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into between the Company and the underwriters or initial purchasers of such underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering, Investor shall enter into an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company acknowledging Investor’s binding obligation to purchase the Designated Stock to be acquired by it and containing representations, warranties and agreements of Investor that are customary in private placement transactions, and the failure to enter into such an instrument at or prior to such time shall constitute a waiver of the preemptive rights in respect of such offering. Any offers and sales pursuant to this Section 3.5 in the context of a registered public offering shall be also conditioned on reasonably acceptable representations and warranties of the Investor regarding its status as the type of offeree to whom a private sale can be made concurrently with a registered public offering in compliance with applicable securities laws.

(d) Failure of Purchase. In the event the Investor fails to exercise its preemptive purchase rights provided in this Section 3.5 within the applicable five Business Day period or, if so exercised, the Investor does not consummate such purchase within the applicable period, the Company shall thereafter be entitled during the period of 120 days following the conclusion of the applicable period to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Stock covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within 60 days from the date of such agreement) to sell the New Stock not purchased pursuant to this Section 3.5 at a price which is at a discount (expressed as a percentage) to the market price of the shares of the Company that does not exceed by more than 5% the discount (expressed as a percentage) to the market price offered in the Qualified Equity Offering giving rise to such preemptive purchase rights

 

20


hereunder (if such a discount was so offered). In the event the Company has not sold the New Stock or entered into an agreement to sell the New Stock within said 120 day period, the Company shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Stock without first offering such securities to Investor in the manner provided in this Section 3.5.

(e) The Investor shall not have any rights to participate in the negotiation of the proposed terms of any Private Placement, underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering.

(f) The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Investor’s preemptive rights hereunder, including securing any required approvals or consents, in a manner that does not jeopardize the timing, marketing, pricing or execution of any offering of the Company’s securities.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Shareholder, its officers, directors and managers and each Person who is a controlling Person of such Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”) against, and pay and reimburse such Covered Persons for, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such Covered Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will pay and reimburse such Covered Persons for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable to a Covered Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made or incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Covered Person expressly for use therein or arises out of or is based on

 

21


such Shareholder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies thereof. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company, if requested, will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Covered Persons.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Shareholder is participating, each such Shareholder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each underwriter and any Person who is or might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer, any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Shareholder expressly for use therein, and such Shareholder will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless will be individual and several to each Shareholder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such Shareholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not, without the indemnified party’s prior consent,

 

22


settle or compromise any action or claim or consent to the entry of any judgment unless such settlement or compromise includes as an unconditional term thereof the release of the indemnified party from all liability, which release shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to any indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount any Shareholder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Shareholder of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Investor and solely with respect to Article II and Article IV, any Shareholder who is a permitted assignee hereunder.

6.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

6.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

6.8 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

6.9 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

6.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the State of Wisconsin, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any such suit, action or other proceeding except in such courts). Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth or referred to in Section 6.14 shall be effective service of process for any such suit, action or other proceeding. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or other proceeding in the above-named courts, or that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

6.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

STOCK PURCHASE RIGHT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 4.2

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

STOCK PURCHASE RIGHT AGREEMENT

Stock Purchase Right Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2007, (as it may be amended from time to time, this “Agreement”) between Metavante Technologies, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), and WPM, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Investor”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2007 (the “Investment Agreement”) among the Company, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“MI Corp”), Metavante Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, Montana Merger Sub Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, and Investor, Investor has agreed to acquire, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, newly issued shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company, which shares shall be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”); and

WHEREAS, the parties intend that on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Investor will own 25% of the Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis, upon consummation of the Share Issuance (as defined in the Investment Agreement) and the purchase of all the Subject Shares, and are entering into this Agreement in furtherance of that connection;

WHEREAS, this Agreement shall be effective as of the Closing Date of the Investment Agreement (the “Effective Time”).

1. Purchase Right Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Investor the right to purchase from the Company (the “Purchase Right”) the Subject Shares at the Purchase Prices; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the total number of Subject Shares that may be purchased under this Agreement shall equal one third of the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Subject Employee Options as of immediately following the Distribution, subject to reduction, if any, pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, there were (i) options to purchase 3,833,566 shares of common stock of MI Corp. outstanding that will be converted into Subject Employee Options pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Employee Matters Agreement and (ii) options to purchase 1,898,750 shares of common stock of MI Corp. outstanding that will be converted into Subject Employee Options pursuant to Section 6.2(c) of the Employee Matters Agreement (the options referred to in clause (i) and (ii) being referred to collectively herein as the “Applicable MI Options”). Within five business days after the determination of the number of Subject Employee Options into which the Applicable MI Options are convertible pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Investor a schedule setting forth, with respect to each Subject Employee Option into which the Applicable MI Options were converted pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the expiration date, exercise price and number of Common Shares underlying such Subject Employee Option.


2. Expiration Date. In no event may the Purchase Right be exercised, in whole or in part, after the earlier of (i) the date that is forty-five days after the Quarterly Notice (as defined herein) is given in respect of the calendar quarter in which all Subject Employee Options expire, (ii) the date that all Subject Shares (as they may have been reduced pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) have been purchased by the Investor or (iii) ten years from the date hereof, unless the Board shall extend the expiration date of any of the Subject Employee Options beyond the end of such ten-year period, in which case the Purchase Right shall be similarly extended (the “Expiration Date”).

3. Exercise of Purchase Right.

3.1. Quarterly Notice and Reduction of Right

(a) No later than the last day of each month following the end of each calendar quarter prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall give the Investor a notice setting forth the following: (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares issued during such quarter upon the exercise of Subject Employee Options (ii) the aggregate exercise price of such Subject Employee Options for such Common Shares, and (iii) the Subject Employee Options that expired unexercised or were forfeited during such quarter (the “Quarterly Notice”). The Quarterly Notice shall be accompanied by a schedule setting forth, in the form of tranches of the same exercise dates and exercise prices, all unexercised Subject Employee Options as of the end of such quarter.

(b) The Subject Shares shall be automatically reduced by a number equal to one third of the Common Shares issuable (x) under Subject Employee Options that expire unexercised or are forfeited and (y) under Out of the Money Options as provided in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(c).

3.2. Method of Exercise.

(a) The Purchase Right shall automatically be deemed exercised to purchase a whole number of Subject Shares equal to one third of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued under the Subject Employee Options during each calendar quarter the exercise prices of which equal or are less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the Purchase Right for such Subject Shares (each such Subject Employee Option, an “In-the Money Option”) and for an aggregate Purchase Price equal to one third of the aggregate exercise prices of such In-the-Money Options for such Common Shares, in each case as specified in the Quarterly Notice with respect to such quarter (it being understood that this number shall not be reduced for any such Common Shares that are withheld from employees to pay the exercise price of such Subject Employee Options, or any withholding taxes due, pursuant to net vesting settlement and similar provisions). Such purchase shall take place 45 days following the date the Quarterly Notice is given (or the first business day following such 45th day, if such day is not a business day). Following the Quarterly Notice and prior to such date of purchase, the Investor may deliver to the Company a notice (the “Cash Payment Notice”) electing to pay such Purchase Price by a Cash Payment, in which case the Cash Payment shall be made on the same date the Cash Payment Notice is delivered to the Company. In the event the Cash Payment Notice is not given and/or such payment is not so

 

2


made with respect to any Quarterly Notice, such Purchase Price shall be paid by the Company withholding from the number of Subject Shares to be delivered to the Investor a number of Subject Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the close of business on the business day immediately before the date of purchase, equal to such Purchase Price, which date shall also be deemed the date of exercise of the Purchase Right for purposes of determining the In-the Money Options and Out of the Money Options. Any fraction of a Subject Share which would be required to pay such Purchase Price shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the Investor. Upon the purchase of any Subject Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2(a), the number of Subject Shares remaining shall be reduced by the number of Subject Shares so purchased. The Subject Shares shall also be reduced by a number equal to one third of the number of Common Shares issued during each calendar quarter pursuant to Out of the Money Options.

(b) In the event the Investor sells, transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) (but only in the event that the Purchase Right is not accelerated under Section 3.2(c) in connection with such event), to a third party that is not an affiliate of the Investor or distributes to its limited partners (collectively, “Transfers”), any of the Common Shares it acquired on the date of the Distribution, but not any Common Shares that it thereafter acquired in excess of such Common Shares, it may exercise the Purchase Right for a whole number of Subject Shares equal to the applicable Acceleration Subject Shares and for a purchase price equal to the related Acceleration Purchase Price, by delivering to the Company an irrevocable exercise notice within 10 days of such sale (the “Acceleration Notice”). The Acceleration Notice shall set forth the number of Common Shares that have been sold by the Investor, the dates of sales thereof, shall certify that such Notice is being given in accordance with Section 3.2(b), and shall specify whether the Investor wishes to pay the Purchase Price by a Cash Payment or through the Company withholding from the Subject Shares to be delivered to the Investor a number of Subject Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the Acceleration Notice is given, equal to the aggregate Acceleration Purchase Price. Within 10 business days of receiving the Acceleration Notice, the Company shall give the Investor notice (the “Acceleration Details Notice”) of the Acceleration Purchase Price applicable to the Acceleration Notice as well as of its calculation of the number of Acceleration Subject Shares being purchased by the Investor pursuant to such Acceleration Notice. In the event that Investor elected to pay the Acceleration Purchase Price in cash, it shall deliver the Acceleration Purchase Price specified in the Acceleration Notice no later than three days following the giving of such Acceleration Details Notice. Upon the purchase of any Acceleration Subject Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), the number of Subject Shares remaining shall be reduced by the number of Acceleration Subject Shares so purchased.

(c) Immediately prior to (i) any event causing the simultaneous acceleration of the vesting, or automatic exercise, of all the Subject Employee Options or (ii) a merger or other business combination involving the Company in which the Common Shares are converted into the right to receive cash in exchange for such Common Shares, the Purchase Right shall automatically be deemed exercised for all Subject Shares then still subject to the Purchase Right. The Purchase Price shall be an amount equal to the related Acceleration Purchase Price. Such Purchase Price shall be paid by the Company withholding from the number of Subject Shares to be delivered to the Investor a number of Subject Shares having

 

3


an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of three business days before the date of such acceleration, equal to such Purchase Price. Any fraction of a Subject Share which would be required to pay such Purchase Price shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the Investor. The Subject Shares shall be reduced by a number equal to one third of the number of Common Shares subject to Out of the Money Options as of the date of an acceleration pursuant to this Section 3.2(c).

(d) The Purchase Right may be exercised by the Investor solely as and to the extent expressly set forth in this Section 3.2. In no event may the Purchase Right be exercised after it terminates as set forth in Section 2. No certificate representing a Subject Share shall be delivered until the full purchase price therefore has been paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any fraction of a Subject Share under this Agreement, all of which shall be disregarded.

4. Additional Terms and Conditions of Purchase Right.

4.1. Nontransferability of Purchase Right. The Purchase Right is exercisable only by the Investor. The Purchase Right may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Purchase Right, shall be null and void.

4.2. Investment Representation.

(a) The Investor hereby represents and warrants that (a) any Common Shares purchased upon exercise of the Purchase Right will be purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless such purchase has been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws; (b) any subsequent sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Investor shall submit a written statement, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true and correct as of the date of purchase of any shares hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such shares, as applicable.

(b) All Subject Shares issued under this Agreement shall bear the legend specified in Section 6.3 of the Shareholders Agreement.

4.3. Adjustment. In the event of any adjustment (i) in the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Subject Employee Options or (ii) the terms of any of the Subject Employee Options, including the exercise prices, in each case including as a result of stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, the Subject Shares and the terms and conditions thereof (including without limitation the Purchase Price thereof) shall be equitably adjusted by the Board in the same manner as the Subject Employee Options.

 

4


4.4. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Purchase Right is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the Subject Shares upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or reasonably desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the purchase or delivery of Subject Shares, the Purchase Right may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Company and the Investor agree to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

4.5. Delivery of Certificates. Upon the exercise of the Purchase Right, in whole or in part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates representing the number of shares purchased against full payment therefore, subject to Section 4.2(b).

4.6. Purchase Right Confers No Rights as Stockholder. The Investor shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to Subject Shares unless and until purchased and delivered upon the exercise of the Purchase Right, in whole or in part, and the Investor becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such delivered shares; and the Investor shall not be considered a stockholder of the Company with respect to any such shares not so purchased and delivered previously.

4.7. Company to Reserve Shares. The Company shall at all times prior to the expiration or termination of the Purchase Right reserve and keep available, either in its treasury or out of its authorized but unissued common shares, the full number of shares subject to the Purchase Right from time to time.

4.8. Shareholders Agreement. Any Subject Shares issued upon exercise of the Purchase Right shall be subject to the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement, and shall be shares of “Common Stock” that are “Beneficially Owned” by Investor for purposes of the Shareholders Agreement; provided, however, that no exercise of the Purchase Right shall in itself constitute a violation of Section 3.2(a) of the Shareholders Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Subject Shares shall be subject to (i) the registration rights provisions of Article II of the Shareholders Agreement, (ii) the transfer restriction provisions of Section 3.1 of the Shareholders Agreement, and (iii) the provisions of Section 6.3.

4.9. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the following meanings:

Any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be ABR Loans, unless Borrower has given notice to the Administrative Agent three Business Days prior to the Closing Date that such Loans shall be Eurodollar Loans and the Interest Periods related thereto. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that the Swingline Lenders may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the

aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent or (ii) transferring such amounts to such account as the Borrower may otherwise specify in such notice.

2.6 Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lenders agree to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lenders’ other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lenders shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least four Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

2.7 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a)Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lenders make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lenders irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lenders not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lenders shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lenders. Unless otherwise agreed between the Swingline Lenders, each Swingline Lender shall make 50% of each Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by (i) depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds or (ii) transferring such amounts to such account as the Borrower may otherwise specify in such notice.

(b) The Swingline Lenders, at any time and from time to time in their sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lenders to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lenders no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lenders. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lenders for application by

the Swingline Lenders to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lenders to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans. The Administrative Agent will give Borrower notice if any account is charged.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lenders in their discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lenders an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lenders have received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lenders receive any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lenders will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lenders is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lenders any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lenders.

(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lenders, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.8 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

2.10 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

2.11 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If any Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).

(b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Group Member, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on or prior to the date five (5) Business Days after receipt toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided, that on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).

(c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

(d) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to the Term Loans in the order directed by the Borrower, or if no order is specified to the principal installments of the Term Loans in the direct order of maturity. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11 or 2.17, the Borrower may, in lieu of applying the amounts referred to above in this Section 2.11 (the “Prepayment Amount”) to the prepayment of Term Loans as provided in paragraph (d) above, on the date specified in Section 2.11 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Term Loan Lender a notice (each, a “Prepayment Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Term Loan Lender a Prepayment Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit G, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is 10 Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Notice, the relevant Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Term Loans and the option to such Lender to decline such prepayment. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to each Term Loan Lender who has not declined such prepayment the aggregate amount necessary to prepay the outstanding relevant Term Loans of such Term Loan Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Prepayment Amount and (ii) the Borrower shall be entitled to retain the portion of the Prepayment Amount declined by the relevant Term Loan Lenders (such amount, the “Declined Prepayment Amount”).

2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default as described in Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurodollar Loans with a one-month Interest Period on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.13 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving

 

30

effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

2.16 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent demonstrable error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

 

31


Table of Contents

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(e). The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans in the order directed by the Borrower or otherwise in the direct order of maturity of the Term Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

2.18 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate (including Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements); or

(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of the loss, cost or expense (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) giving rise to the request for reimbursement and such certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. If a Lender requests reimbursement under this Section 2.18(b), it shall provide to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of the loss, cost or expense giving rise to the request for reimbursement and such certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.19 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.19 or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

 

34


Table of Contents

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of

Table of Contents

all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) The agreements in this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.20 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.20 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no legal, regulatory or material economic disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.21 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a).

2.22 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace, with a replacement financial institution, any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained); provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such

Table of Contents

Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.23 Incremental Extensions of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time, request to add additional term loans and/or increase the Revolving Facility (the “Incremental Extensions of Credit”) in minimum principal amounts of $75.0 million, provided that (a) immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Incremental Facility Amendment (and the making of any Incremental Extensions of Credit pursuant thereto), no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or shall result therefrom and the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis (including giving pro forma effect to any Incremental Facility Amendment (and the making of any Incremental Extensions of Credit pursuant thereto and calculated as though all such Incremental Extensions of Credit had been incurred at the beginning of the relevant Reference Period)), with a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the Reference Period ending on December 31, 2007 and as of the last day of any Reference Period ending thereafter the applicable Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.1 as of the last day of the Reference Period ending as of the last day of the last fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been or are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and (b) the aggregate principal amount (or committed amount, if applicable) of all Incremental Extensions of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall not exceed $350.0 million. The Incremental Extensions of Credit shall rank pari passu in right of payment and right of security in respect of the Collateral with the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans, as applicable. Other than amortization, pricing or maturity date, the Incremental Extensions of Credit consisting of additional term loans shall have the same terms as the Term Loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) existing immediately prior to the effectiveness of an Incremental Facility Amendment (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and Additional Lenders agreeing to provide a commitment in respect of such Incremental Extension of Credit provided that any such agreement shall affect solely the terms of such Incremental Extension of Credit and not any other Loan or Borrowings or Commitments (or any other Lender) unless this Agreement has been amended in accordance with Section 10.1 without reference to this Section 2.23); provided that, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) any increase in the Revolving Facility shall be on the terms described in this Section 2.23 and pursuant to the terms hereof (including interest rates and fees) otherwise applicable to the Revolving Facility, (ii) the Incremental Extensions of Credit shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Term Facility Maturity Date or the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, as applicable, and (iii) in the case of additional term loans, Incremental Extensions of Credit shall not have a weighted average life that is shorter than that of the then-remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other person that elects to extend commitments to provide Incremental Extensions of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (any such bank, financial institution or other person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement, pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement, giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.23, and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Additional

Table of Contents

Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. Commitments in respect of Incremental Extensions of Credit shall become Commitments under this Agreement after giving effect to such Incremental Facility Amendment. An Incremental Facility Amendment providing for term loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23, provided, however, the interest rates and fees applicable to any Incremental Extension of Credit (the “Incremental Margin”) shall be determined by the Borrower and the Additional Lenders; provided, further, however, if the Incremental Margin (which for this purpose includes all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (with such upfront fees or original issue discount being converted to interest rate margin as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) payable to all Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Extension of Credit) is more than 0.25% per annum higher than the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loans (which for this purpose includes all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (with such upfront fees and original issue discount being converted to interest rate margin as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) payable to all Lenders providing the Term Loans) then the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loans shall be adjusted to equal the Incremental Margin minus 0.25% per annum. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” in such Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date), and, except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing documents and certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1. The proceeds of the Incremental Extensions of Credit may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.23, no existing Lender shall be obligated to provide Incremental Extensions of Credit.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the

 

38


Table of Contents

certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. Upon request of the Borrower, the Issuing Lender shall provide to the Borrower a schedule of normal and customary costs and expenses.

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such

 

39


Table of Contents

payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.14(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.14(c). If a Letter of Credit draw is not reimbursed by the Borrower by the applicable time and day indicated above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Loan under the Revolving Facility to reimburse such draw.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to Holdings as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2007, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as of June 30, 2007 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the six-month period ended on such date (including the comparable period for the prior fiscal year), present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b), neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; it being agreed that the consummation of the Spin in accordance with the Investment Agreement, in and of itself, is not such an event or development.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing (or the equivalent) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Spin and the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and (iii) such consents or authorizations the absence of which would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member in any material respect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

4.6 Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Group Member owns, or is licensed or otherwise has a right to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, as of the Closing Date, no material claim has been asserted and is pending against any Group Member by any Person seeking to limit, cancel or challenge the validity, enforceability, ownership or use of any Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed by any Group Member that is material to the business of the Group Members as a whole, nor does Holdings or the Borrower have knowledge of any valid basis for any such claim.

Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors, and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, trustees, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee; provided, that such claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses are items that the Borrower has an obligation to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from under Section 10.5(d).

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except as permitted under Section 7.4(e) without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person;

 

76


Table of Contents

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) in the case of an assignment of a portion of the Revolving Facility, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lenders.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than, in the case of the Revolving Facility, $5,000,000 or, in the case of the Term Facility, $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6.

Table of Contents

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso of Section 10.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.19(d).

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or email transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

If no cure is effected within the statutory time limits, if permitted by the Act, Mortgagee may accelerate the Obligations secured hereby without further notice (the aforementioned statutory cure period shall run concurrently with any contractual provision for notice before acceleration of debt) and may then proceed in the manner and subject to the conditions of the Act to send to Mortgagor and other necessary parties a Notice of Sale and to sell and convey the Mortgaged Property in accordance with such Act. The sale shall be made at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels upon such notice, at such times and places, subject to all conditions and with the proceeds thereof to be applied all as provided in the Act. No action of Mortgagee based upon the provisions contained herein or in the Act, including, without limitation, the giving of the Notice of Intent to Foreclose by Power of Sale or the Notice of Sale, shall constitute an election of remedies which would preclude Mortgagee from pursuing judicial foreclosure before or at any time after commencement of the Power of Sale foreclosure procedure. Whether or not proceedings have commenced by the exercise of the Power of Sale above given, Mortgagee or the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in lieu of proceeding with the Power of Sale (or in the event of homestead property where Mortgagor has elected judicial foreclosure, as provided in the Act) may at its or their option, as applicable, following acceleration of the Obligations as set forth above, proceed by suit or suits in equity or at law to foreclose this Mortgage.

Mortgagor fully understands the consequences of conferring on Mortgagee the above-described Power of Sale, and if Mortgagee elects to enforce this Mortgage by exercising said Power of Sale, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right to a judicial hearing prior to the sale of the Mortgaged Property. As often as any proceedings may be taken to foreclose this Mortgage, whether pursuant to the Power of Sale herein conferred or by judicial proceedings, or to foreclose the security interest herein granted to Mortgagee, Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee, in addition to all other sums due, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Mortgagee; and

(ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.

(c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.

(d) It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by Mortgagee shall be held by Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

14. Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.

15. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged

Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, without requiring the posting of a surety bond, and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or any other party obligated for payment of all or any part of the Obligations, and whether or not waste has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

16. Extension, Release, etc. Without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

(a) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

(b) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage or to direct a power of sale, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage (or direct the sale of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be) subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

(c) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

17. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code; Fixture Filing. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement within the

Table of Contents

meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten (10) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(a) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Code) on the Land, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Code upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures. The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Exhibit A hereto. The record owner of the real property described in Exhibit A hereto is Mortgagor. The name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the debtor for purposes of this financing statement are the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage, and the name of the secured party for purposes of this financing statement is the name of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. The mailing address of the Mortgagor/debtor is the address of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. The mailing address of the Mortgagee/secured party from which information concerning the security interest hereunder may be obtained is the address of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. Mortgagor’s organizational identification number is 1900513748.

18. Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment of and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by giving not less than five days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or

any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

(a) Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.

(b) Except for any matter disclosed in the Credit Agreement, no action has been brought or, so far as is known to Mortgagor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.

19. Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

20. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Mortgagee or the Mortgagor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Mortgagor shall be addressed to Mortgagor at its address set forth above.

21. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

22. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of any Loan Document, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor under any Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

23. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (ii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. Appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is hereby expressly waived, or not, at the option of Mortgagee, such option to be exercised at the time judgment is rendered in any foreclosure hereof, or at any time prior thereto. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Mortgagee of the foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created.

24. Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which either may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by

Table of Contents

Mortgagee, as the case may be. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

25. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are

appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

26. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

27. No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or deed of trust.

28. Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State.

29. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Lenders,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

Duty of Mortgagee; Authority of Mortgagee . (a) The Mortgagee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Mortgaged Property which is in its possession, or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Mortgagee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Mortgagee, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property upon the request of Mortgagor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Mortgagee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Mortgaged Property and shall not impose any duty upon the Mortgagee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Mortgagee and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Mortgagor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Mortgagor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage with respect to any action taken by the Mortgagee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Mortgagee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Mortgage shall, as between the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Mortgagee and Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Mortgagor shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

31. Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or which may become owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

32. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party and the Mortgagee for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against Mortgagor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Mortgagee.

(b) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Mortgage.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable.

33. Release. If any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Mortgagor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then the Mortgagee, at the request and sole expense of such Mortgagor, shall execute and deliver to such Mortgagor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Mortgagor stating that such transaction is in compliance with, and permitted by, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

References in this Mortgage to the “Default Rate” shall mean the interest rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement. References herein to the “Secured Parties” shall mean the collective reference to (i) Mortgagee, (ii) the Lenders (including any Issuing Lender in its capacity as Issuing Lender) and any affiliate of any Lender to which Borrower Obligations or Guarantor Obligations, as applicable are owed, (iii) each counterparty to a Specified Swap Agreement entered into with the Borrower if such counterparty was a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time the Specified Swap Agreement was entered into, (iv) any other holders from time to time of the Obligations, and (v) the respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns of each of the foregoing.

3. Payment of Obligations. Mortgagor shall pay and perform the Obligations at the times and places and in the manner specified in the Loan Documents.

4. Requirements. Mortgagor shall comply with all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property, except where a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect (considered both individually and together with other such failures) on (i) the current business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagor, (ii) the current use of the Mortgaged Property or (iii) the value of the Mortgaged Property (assuming its current use).

5. Payment of Taxes and Other Impositions. (1) Prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto or imposed, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge all taxes, charges and assessments of every kind and nature, all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Real Estate, all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, vault taxes and all other public charges even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the Real Estate, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof, together with any penalties or interest on any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to herein as the “Impositions”), except where (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and (ii) the Mortgagor has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP. Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee evidence reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee showing the payment of any such Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor’s option, may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any.

(a) Nothing herein shall affect any right or remedy of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or otherwise, without notice or demand to Mortgagor, to pay any Imposition after the date such Imposition shall have become delinquent, and add to the Obligations the amount so paid, together with interest from the time of payment at the Default Rate. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be (i) a lien on the Premises secured hereby prior to any right or title to, interest in, or claim upon the Premises subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage, and (ii) payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee together with interest at the Default Rate as set forth above.

6. Insurance. Mortgagor shall maintain and keep all property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and (b) maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all its property in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event

public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business.

Mortgagor shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies (i) insuring the Real Estate against loss by fire, explosion, theft and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee, and (ii) insuring Mortgagor, the Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties against liability for personal injury and property damage relating to such Real Estate, such policies to be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee. All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Mortgagee of written notice thereof, (ii) name the Mortgagee as an additional insured party or loss payee, (iii) include deductibles consistent with past practice or consistent with industry practice or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee.

(a) If any portion of the Premises is located in an area identified as a special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other applicable agency, Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained, flood insurance in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, but in no event less than the maximum limit of coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

(b) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform in all material respects to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would permit any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this Mortgage.

(c) If Mortgagor is in default of its obligations to insure or deliver any such prepaid policy or policies, then Mortgagee, at its option upon 5 days’ notice to Mortgagor, may effect such insurance from year to year at rates substantially similar to the rate at which Mortgagor had insured the Premises, and pay the premium or premiums therefor, and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand such premium or premiums so paid by Mortgagee with interest from the time of payment at the Default Rate.

(d) If the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall be destroyed or damaged and the reasonably estimated cost thereof would exceed $1,000,000, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to Mortgagee. All insurance proceeds paid or payable in connection with any damage or casualty to the Real Estate shall be deemed proceeds from a Recovery Event and applied in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement.

(e) In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

7. Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor shall not further mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the

9. Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any material portion thereof, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. All awards and proceeds relating to such condemnation shall be deemed proceeds from a Recovery Event and applied in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement

10. Leases. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not (a) execute an assignment or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (b) execute or permit to exist any Lease of any of the Mortgaged Property.

11. Further Assurances. To further assure Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees promptly upon demand of Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable form) as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee by this Mortgage.

12. Mortgagee’s Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor, within the applicable grace period, if any, provided for in the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this Mortgage, may, at any time upon 5 days’ notice to Mortgagor (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

13. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document, (C) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor expressly granting to Mortgagee the power of sale), or (D) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and all costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment; and

(ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.

(c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.

(d) It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by Mortgagee shall be held by Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

14. Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for

Table of Contents

the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.

15. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, without requiring the posting of a surety bond, and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or any other party obligated for payment of all or any part of the Obligations, and whether or not waste has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

16. Extension, Release, etc. Without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

(a) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

(b) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage or to direct a power of sale, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage (or direct the sale of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be) subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property,

or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

(c) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

17. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code; Fixture Filing. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten (10) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Exhibit A hereto. The record owner of the real property described in Exhibit A hereto is Mortgagor.

Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment of and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the

Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by giving not less than five days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

(a) Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.

(b) Except for any matter disclosed in the Credit Agreement, no action has been brought or, so far as is known to Mortgagor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.

19. Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

20. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Mortgagee or the Mortgagor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Mortgagor shall be addressed to Mortgagor at its address set forth above.

21. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

22. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of any Loan Document, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor under any Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

23. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Mortgagee of the foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created.

24. Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner

Table of Contents

affect Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which either may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, as the case may be. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

25. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in

which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

26. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

27. No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or deed of trust.

28. Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State.

29. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each

Table of Contents

Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Lenders,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

30. Duty of Mortgagee; Authority of Mortgagee. (a) The Mortgagee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Mortgaged Property which is in its possession, or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Mortgagee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Mortgagee, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property upon the request of Mortgagor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Mortgagee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Mortgaged Property and shall not impose any duty upon the Mortgagee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Mortgagee and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Mortgagor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Mortgagor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage with respect to any action taken by the Mortgagee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Mortgagee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Mortgage shall, as between the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Mortgagee and Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Mortgagor shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

31. Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or which may become owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

32. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party and the Mortgagee for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against Mortgagor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Mortgagee.

(b) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Mortgage.

(c) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Mortgage to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable.

33. Release. If any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Mortgagor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then the Mortgagee, at the request and sole expense of such Mortgagor, shall execute and deliver to such Mortgagor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Mortgagor stating that such transaction is in compliance with, and permitted by, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

34. Shortened Redemption Period. Mortgagor agrees to the provisions of Section 846.103 of the Wisconsin Statutes, or any successor provision, permitting Mortgagee, at its option upon waiving the right to judgment for deficiency, to hold a foreclosure sale of real estate three (3) months after a foreclosure judgment is entered.

35. Receivership. Any receiver appointed under this Mortgage shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers pursuant to Wisconsin common and statutory law, including, but not limited to, Wisconsin Statutes Section 813.16, et al., as amended, modified and/or replaced from time to time.

Mortgagor shall comply with all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property, except where a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect (considered both individually and together with other such failures) on (i) the current business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagor, (ii) the current use of the Mortgaged Property or (iii) the value of the Mortgaged Property (assuming its current use).

5. Payment of Taxes and Other Impositions. (1) Prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto or imposed, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge all taxes, charges and assessments of every kind and nature, all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Real Estate, all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, vault taxes and all other public charges even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the Real Estate, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof, together with any penalties or interest on any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to herein as the “Impositions”), except where (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and (ii) the Mortgagor has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

Mortgagor shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies (i) insuring the Real Estate against loss by fire, explosion, theft and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee, and (ii) insuring Mortgagor, the Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties against liability for personal injury and property damage relating to such Real Estate, such policies to be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee.

Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

16. Extension, Release, etc. Without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

Table of Contents

Mortgage (or direct the sale of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be) subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

(c) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

17. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code; Fixture Filing. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten (10) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(a) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Code) on the Land, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Code upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures. The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Exhibit A hereto. The record owner of the real property described in Exhibit A hereto is Mortgagor. The name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the debtor for purposes of this financing statement are the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage, and the name of the secured party for purposes of this financing statement is the name of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.

Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment of and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by giving not less than five days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

(a) Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.

(b) Except for any matter disclosed in the Credit Agreement, no action has been brought or, so far as is known to Mortgagor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.

19. Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

20. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Mortgagee or the Mortgagor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Mortgagor shall be addressed to Mortgagor at its address set forth above.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of any Loan Document, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor under any Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

23. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Mortgagee of the foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created.

24. Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or

Table of Contents

under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which either may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, as the case may be. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

25. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the

Table of Contents

exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

26. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

27. No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or deed of trust.

28. Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State.

29. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Lenders,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

31. Duty of Mortgagee; Authority of Mortgagee. (a) The Mortgagee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Mortgaged Property which is in its possession, or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Mortgagee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Mortgagee, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property upon the request of Mortgagor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Mortgagee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Mortgaged Property and shall not impose any duty upon the Mortgagee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Mortgagee and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Mortgagor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Mortgagor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage with respect to any action taken by the Mortgagee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Mortgagee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Mortgage shall, as between the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Mortgagee and Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Mortgagor shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

32. Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or which may become owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations

15


Table of Contents

shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

33. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party and the Mortgagee for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against Mortgagor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Mortgagee.

(b) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Mortgage.

(c) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Mortgage to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable.

34. Release. If any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Mortgagor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then the Mortgagee, at the request and sole expense of such Mortgagor, shall execute and deliver to such Mortgagor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Mortgagor stating that such transaction is in compliance with, and permitted by, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

35. Local Law Provisions.

(a) Business Loan. The proceeds of the indebtedness secured hereby referred to herein shall be used solely for business purposes and in furtherance of the regular business affairs of Mortgagor, and the entire principal obligation secured by this Mortgage constitutes (i) a “business loan” as that term is defined in, and for all purposes of, 815 ILCS 205/4 (1) (c), and (ii) a “loan secured by a mortgage on real estate” within the purview and operation of 815 ILCS 205/4(1)(l).

(b) Additional Indebtedness. This Mortgage secures the payment of the entire indebtedness secured hereby, as well as the payment of such additional sums with interest thereon which may hereafter be loaned to Mortgagor by Mortgagee or advanced under the Credit

Table of Contents

Agreement, which shall be in the form of a continual revolving credit whereby advances may be made, repaid, and readvanced from time to time, and all such advances shall retain priority hereunder, subject to the applicable provisions of 735 ILCS 5/15-1302(b)(3); provided, however, that the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall not exceed an amount equal to Four Billion Dollars ($4,000,000,000.00).

(c) Collateral Protection Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Protection Act (815 ILCS 180/1 et seq.), Mortgagor is hereby notified that unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may purchase insurance at Mortgagee’s expense to protect Mortgagor’s interests in the Real Estate, which insurance may, but need not, protect the interests of Mortgagor. The coverage purchased by Mortgagee may not pay any claim made by Mortgagor or any claim made against Mortgagor in connection with the Premises. Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing Mortgagee with evidence that Mortgagor has obtained the insurance as required hereunder. If Mortgagee purchases insurance, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest and any other charges imposed in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the total obligation secured hereby. The costs of such insurance may be greater than the cost of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain for itself.

(d) Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law. It is the intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that the enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall be accomplished in accordance with the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law (the “Act”), 735 ILCS 5/15-1101 et seq., and with respect to such Act, Mortgagor agrees and covenants that:

1. Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of the Act, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time after the date hereof. In the event any provision of the Act which is specifically referred to herein may be repealed, Mortgagee shall have the benefit of such provision as most recently existing prior to such repeal, as though the same were incorporated herein by express reference;

2. Wherever provision is made in this Mortgage for insurance policies to bear mortgagee clauses or other loss payable clauses or endorsements in favor of Mortgagee, or to confer authority upon to settle or participate in the settlement of losses under policies of insurance or to hold and disburse or otherwise control use of insurance proceeds, from and after the entry of judgment of foreclosure, all such rights and powers of Mortgagee shall continue in Mortgagee as judgment creditor or mortgagee until confirmation of sale;

3. In addition to any provision of this Mortgage authorizing Mortgagee to take or be placed in possession of the Mortgaged Property, or for the appointment of a receiver, Mortgagee shall have the right, in accordance with Sections 15-1701 and 15-1702 of the Act, to be placed in the possession of the Mortgaged Property or at its request to have a receiver appointed, and such receiver, or Mortgagee, if and when placed in possession, shall have, in addition to any other powers provided in this Mortgage, all rights, powers, immunities, and duties and provisions set forth in Sections 15-1701 and 15-1703 of the Act;

5. Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly waives its statutory rights to reinstatement and redemption pursuant to 735 ILCS Section 5/15-1601(b);

MORTGAGE, SECURITY AGREEMENT,

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, AND FIXTURE FILING

A POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS MORTGAGE. A POWER OF SALE MAY ALLOW MORTGAGEE TO TAKE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND SELL IT WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A FORECLOSURE ACTION UPON DEFAULT BY MORTGAGOR UNDER THIS MORTGAGE.

No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

(i) Without affecting any right, power or remedy herein given to Mortgagee and in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing in equity, law or statute, Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee the non-judicial Power of Sale. Such Power of Sale shall be exercised by giving Mortgagor Notice of Intent to Foreclose by Power of Sale and setting forth, among other things, the nature of the breach(es) or default(s) and the action required to effect a cure thereof and the time period within which such cure may be effected all in compliance with Title 46 Oklahoma Statutes §§ 40 et seq. (Oklahoma Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act) effective November 1, 1986, as the same may be amended from time to time or other applicable statutory or judicial authority (the “Act”). If no cure is effected within the statutory time limits, if permitted by the Act, Mortgagee may accelerate the Obligations secured hereby without further notice (the aforementioned statutory cure period shall run concurrently with any contractual provision for notice before acceleration of debt) and may then proceed in the manner and subject to the conditions of the Act to send to Mortgagor and other necessary parties a Notice of Sale and to sell and convey the Mortgaged Property in accordance with such Act. The sale shall be made at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels upon such notice, at such times and places, subject to all conditions and with the proceeds thereof to be applied all as provided in the Act. No action of Mortgagee based upon the provisions contained herein or in the Act, including, without limitation, the giving of the Notice of Intent to Foreclose by Power of Sale or the Notice of Sale, shall constitute an election of remedies which would preclude Mortgagee from pursuing judicial foreclosure before or at any time after commencement of the Power of Sale foreclosure procedure. Whether or not proceedings have commenced by the exercise of the Power of Sale above given, Mortgagee or the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in lieu of proceeding with the Power of Sale (or in the event of homestead property where Mortgagor has elected judicial foreclosure, as provided in the Act) may at its or their option, as applicable, following acceleration of the Obligations as set forth above, proceed by suit or suits in equity or at law to foreclose this Mortgage.

Mortgagor fully understands the consequences of conferring on Mortgagee the above-described Power of Sale, and if Mortgagee elects to enforce this Mortgage by exercising said Power of Sale, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right to a judicial hearing prior to the sale of the Mortgaged Property. As often as any proceedings may be taken to foreclose this Mortgage, whether pursuant to the Power of Sale herein conferred or by judicial proceedings, or to foreclose the security interest herein granted to Mortgagee, Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee, in addition to all other sums due, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Mortgagee; and

(ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.

(c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.

(d) It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by Mortgagee shall be held by Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

14. Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.

15. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged

Table of Contents

Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, without requiring the posting of a surety bond, and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or any other party obligated for payment of all or any part of the Obligations, and whether or not waste has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

16. Extension, Release, etc. Without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

(a) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

(b) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage or to direct a power of sale, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage (or direct the sale of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be) subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

(c) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

17. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code; Fixture Filing. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement within the

meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten (10) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(a) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Code) on the Land, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Code upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures. The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Exhibit A hereto. The record owner of the real property described in Exhibit A hereto is Mortgagor. The name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the debtor for purposes of this financing statement are the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage, and the name of the secured party for purposes of this financing statement is the name of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.

The mailing address of the Mortgagee/secured party from which information concerning the security interest hereunder may be obtained is the address of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. Mortgagor’s organizational identification number is 1900513748.

18. Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment of and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by giving not less than five days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or

any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

(a) Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.

(b) Except for any matter disclosed in the Credit Agreement, no action has been brought or, so far as is known to Mortgagor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.

19. Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

20. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Mortgagee or the Mortgagor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Mortgagor shall be addressed to Mortgagor at its address set forth above.

21. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

22. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of any Loan Document, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor under any Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

23. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (ii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. Appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is hereby expressly waived, or not, at the option of Mortgagee, such option to be exercised at the time judgment is rendered in any foreclosure hereof, or at any time prior thereto. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Mortgagee of the foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created.

24. Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which either may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by

Mortgagee, as the case may be. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

25. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are

appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

26. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

27. No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or deed of trust.

28. Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State.

29. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Lenders,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

Table of Contents

Duty of Mortgagee; Authority of Mortgagee. (a) The Mortgagee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Mortgaged Property which is in its possession, or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Mortgagee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Mortgagee, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property upon the request of Mortgagor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Mortgagee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Mortgaged Property and shall not impose any duty upon the Mortgagee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Mortgagee and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Mortgagor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Mortgagor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage with respect to any action taken by the Mortgagee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Mortgagee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Mortgage shall, as between the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Mortgagee and Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Mortgagor shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

31. Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or which may become owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

32. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party and the Mortgagee for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against Mortgagor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Mortgagee.

(b) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Mortgage.

(c) Mortgagor agrees to pay, and to save the Mortgaqee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Mortgage to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable.

33. Release. If any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Mortgagor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then the Mortgagee, at the request and sole expense of such Mortgagor, shall execute and deliver to such Mortgagor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Mortgagor stating that such transaction is in compliance with, and permitted by, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of New York is referred to herein as the “New York UCC”. The Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of Delaware is referred to herein as the “Delaware UCC”. The Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of Wisconsin is referred to herein as the “Wisconsin UCC”.

The Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of Arizona is referred to herein as the “Arizona UCC”. The New York UCC, the Delaware UCC, the Wisconsin UCC and the Arizona UCC are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “UCC”. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to those terms in the attached schedules, and if not defined therein, shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Credit Agreement.

We note that various issues with respect to certain real and personal property collateral matters relating to the State of Oklahoma are addressed in the opinion of Phillips McFall McCaffrey McVay & Murrah, P.C. separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to any matters covered by such other opinion.

In rendering this opinion we have, with your permission, relied on the officer’s certificate from the Loan Parties, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Schedule 6 (the “Officer’s Certificate”), as to certain factual matters and assumed, without investigation, verification, or inquiry, that:

 

  (a) Each party to the Loan Documents, other than the Loan Parties, is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, limited liability company, association or other legal entity under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation;

 

  (b) Each party to the Loan Documents, other than the Loan Parties, has the necessary right, power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations, if any, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party; the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all parties thereto, other than the Loan Parties; and the Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of all parties thereto, other than the Loan Parties;

 

  (c) The Loan Documents have been duly executed, delivered and accepted by all parties thereto, other than the Loan Parties;

 

  (d) All natural persons who are signatories to the Loan Documents or the other documents reviewed by us were legally competent at the time of execution; all signatures on the Loan Documents and the other documents reviewed by us are genuine; the copies of all documents submitted to us are accurate and complete, each such document that is original is authentic, and each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original;

 

  (e) The Agent maintains an office at the address set forth on the Financing Statements;

 

  (f) All Loan Documents were or will be executed prior to or simultaneously with the execution of the Mortgages;

  (g) Valid and sufficient legal descriptions of the relevant real property and the correct tax key number or parcel identification number are included in the Mortgages; and the Mortgages contain the correct name of Borrower, the correct name of Mortgagee and the correct name of a record owner of the real property described therein;

 

  (h) Will County, Illinois, is the only county in Illinois in which any real property subject to the Illinois Mortgage is or will be located, and is the only county in Illinois in which any goods that are or are to become fixtures under the Illinois Mortgage are or will be located;

 

  (i) The Illinois Mortgage will be properly recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds for Will County, Illinois;

 

  (j) Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, is the only county in Wisconsin in which any real property subject to the Wisconsin Mortgage is or will be located, and is the only county in Wisconsin in which any goods that are or are to become fixtures under the Wisconsin Mortgage are or will be located;

 

  (k) The Wisconsin Mortgage will be properly recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds for Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

Based upon the foregoing, but subject to the assumptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Loan Parties (a) is a corporation or limited liability company validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation; (b) is in good standing under the laws of its incorporation or formation (or, in the case of each Loan Party incorporated or organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, it has filed its most recent required annual report, and has not filed articles of dissolution, with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions); (c) has the corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party and to borrow (in the case of Borrower), perform its obligations thereunder and grant the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; and (d) has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party.

2. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, borrowings in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (in the case of Borrower), and performance of its obligations thereunder, and granting of the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (a) will not result in any violation of (1) the articles of incorporation or bylaws, or the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of such Loan Party, (2) assuming that proceeds of borrowings will be used in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any United States federal statute, any New York statute, any Wisconsin statute, any

Arizona statute, any Illinois statute, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any of the foregoing statutes or any order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body; and (b) will not breach or result in a default under, or result in the creation of any lien upon or security interest in the Loan Parties’ properties pursuant to, the terms of any indenture, agreement, contract or undertaking, listed on Exhibit A attached to the Officer’s Certificate.

3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any United States federal governmental agency or body, State of Wisconsin state governmental agency or body, State of Arizona state governmental agency or body, State of Illinois state governmental agency or body, State of New York state agency or governmental body, or State of Delaware state governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, is required for the execution and delivery by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings by Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or the performance by the Loan Parties of their respective payment obligations under the Loan Documents, or the granting by any Loan Party of any security interests under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, except (a) such as have been duly obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) such filings and other actions as may be required to perfect any lien or security interest which any such agreement purports to create, and (c) such as may be required by orders, decrees and the like that are specifically applicable to the Loan Parties and of which we have no knowledge.

4. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms.

5. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding now pending before or by any court, arbitrator or governmental agency, body or official, to which any Loan Party is a party or to which the business, assets or property of any Loan Party is subject, and there is no such action, suit or proceeding that is overtly threatened to which any Loan Party or the business, assets or property of any Loan Party would be subject, that in either case questions the validity of the Loan Documents or the Spin.

6. No Loan Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

7. Assuming that Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

8. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement creates in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in the right, title and interest of the granting Loan Party in that portion of the collateral described therein in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC (the “Article 9 Collateral”).

9. Each of the Financing Statements is in appropriate form for filing in the filing offices listed in Schedule 3 attached hereto (the “Filing Offices”) in the states of Delaware, Wisconsin, and Arizona.

10. The UCC Search Reports set forth the proper filing offices and proper debtors necessary to identify those Persons which, as of the effective dates for such UCC Search Reports, have on file financing statements in the States of Delaware, Wisconsin and Arizona against the Loan Parties covering the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC as in effect in the States of Delaware, Wisconsin and Arizona.

11. Upon the filing of the Financing Statements in the forms attached hereto in the Filing Offices, the Agent will have a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Lenders in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC as in effect in the States of Delaware, Wisconsin and Arizona.

12. The security interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in that portion of the collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement identified on Schedule 2 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as instruments will be a perfected security interest upon delivery of such instruments to the Agent in the State of New York.

13. All of the shares of Capital Stock described on Schedule 2 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except for directors’ qualifying shares) are owned of record by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower.

14. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement creates in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest under the New York UCC in the right, title and interest of the granting Loan Parties in the investment property identified on Schedule 2 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”).

15. The Agent will have a perfected security interest in the Pledged Securities for the benefit of the Lenders under the New York UCC upon delivery to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the State of New York of the certificates representing the Pledged Securities in registered form, indorsed in blank by an effective endorsement or accompanied by undated stock powers with respect thereto duly indorsed in blank by an effective endorsement. Assuming the Agent and each of the Lenders does not have notice of any adverse claim to the Pledged Securities, the Agent will acquire the security interest in the Pledged Securities for the benefit of the Lenders free of any adverse claim.

16. Borrower is in good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of Illinois and is duly qualified to own and operate the Mortgaged Property and to conduct any business of the Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property in the State of Illinois.

17. The Illinois Mortgage and the Wisconsin Mortgage:

 

  (a) are in proper form for recording as a mortgage and as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin, respectively;

 

  (b) comply as to form with all existing laws of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin, respectively;

 

  (d) create in favor of the Mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid and binding lien upon that portion of the Mortgaged Property described therein constituting real property or fixtures under the laws of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin, respectively (the “Real Property”), enforceable as such against the Borrower; and

 

  (e) when recorded in the applicable offices listed on Schedule 7 (the “Recording Offices”) will constitute a perfected lien on the Real Property in the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin, respectively.

18. The recording of the Mortgages in the Recording Offices as indicated on Schedule 7 are the only actions, recordings or filings necessary to publish notice and protect the validity of and to establish of record the rights of the parties under the Mortgages.

19. The facts that (a) the Mortgages secure obligations arising under a revolving line of credit, and (b) such revolving credit advances may from time to time be repaid in full or in part and reborrowed in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, will not result in a subordination of the lien of the Mortgages to any other lien on the real property and fixtures described in such Mortgages or otherwise impair the priority of the liens of the Mortgages; subject, however, to the applicable provisions of 735 ILCS 5/15-1302(b)(3) with respect to the Illinois Mortgage.

20. The courts of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin will enforce those provisions in the Mortgages which provide that the validity, construction and enforceability of the Mortgages will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, except that the Courts of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin may apply the internal law of each respective State to determine the perfection and effect of perfection of the liens created under such documents and the application of remedies in enforcing such liens with respect to property located in each respective State.

21. The Illinois Mortgage and the Wisconsin Mortgage contain the terms and provisions necessary to enable the Mortgagee, following a default thereunder, to exercise the remedies which are customarily available to a holder under a mortgage in the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin, respectively.

22. The Illinois Mortgage and the Wisconsin Mortgage do not violate any usury, consumer protection or truth in lending laws, rules or regulations of the State of Illinois or


Table of Contents

Page 7

 

the State of Wisconsin, respectively, or any governmental or quasigovernmental agencies thereof, so as to (a) subject the Mortgagee to any civil or criminal liability or penalty, (b) prohibit, limit or impede the Mortgagee’s right to collect any interest, principal or other sums payable under the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, or to exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, or (c) subject the Mortgagee to any other claim, loss or damage.

23. None of the Mortgagee or the other Secured Parties are required (a) to be qualified to do business, file any designation for service of process or file any reports or pay any taxes in the State of Illinois or the State of Wisconsin, or (b) to comply with any statutory or regulatory requirement applicable only to financial institutions chartered or qualified or required to be chartered or qualified to do business in the State of Illinois or the State of Wisconsin, in each case solely by reason of the execution and delivery of filing or recording, as applicable, of any of the Loan Documents, or by reason of the participation in any of the transactions under or contemplated thereby, the making and receipt of payments pursuant thereto and the exercise of any remedy thereunder. If it were determined that such qualification and filing were required, the validity of the Loan Documents would not be affected thereby, but (a) if the Mortgagee were not qualified it would be precluded from enforcing its rights as Mortgagee on behalf of the Secured Parties in the courts of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin until such time as it is admitted to transact business in each respective State, or (b) assuming the Secured Parties would institute remedies without the Mortgagee, they would be precluded from enforcing their rights in the courts of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin until such time as they were admitted to transact business in each respective State. However, the lack of qualification would not result in any waiver of rights or remedies pending such qualification.

24. The Mortgagee has the power, without naming all the Secured Parties in any applicable legal proceeding, to exercise remedies under the Loan Documents for the realization of any of the Mortgaged Property in its own name, as Mortgagee.

25. No Taxes or other charges, including, without limitation, intangible or documentary stamp taxes, mortgage or recording taxes, transfer taxes or similar charges, are payable to the State of Illinois or the State of Wisconsin or to any jurisdiction therein on account of the execution or delivery or recording or filing of the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, or any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation of the indebtedness evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents, as applicable, except for nominal filing or recording fees; provided that we are not opining as to as any income or franchise taxes.

26. The transfer of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property in connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, including, without limitation, by way of judicial foreclosure, will not restrict, affect or impair the liability of the Issuer with respect to the indebtedness secured thereby or the mortgagee’s rights or remedies relating thereto, including the foreclosure or enforcement of any other security interest liens securing such indebtedness, and the laws of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin do not require a lienholder to elect to pursue its remedies either against mortgaged real property or personal property where such lienholder holds security interests and liens on both real and personal property of a debtor.

27. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss, cost, expense or liability (including, without limitation, clean-up, corrective action or response costs, penalties, fines or other impositions of governmental agencies and judgments of private or public litigants) in respect of any matter arising out of or relating to or under any existing environmental laws of the State of Illinois or the State of Wisconsin by reason of the execution and delivery of or participation in any of the transactions under or contemplated by the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, including, without limitation, the exercise of any remedy under the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, unless the Mortgagee manages, operates, controls, or acquires ownership of the Mortgaged Property, or in regard to the Wisconsin Mortgage fails to comply with the provisions of Wis. Stats. § 292.21.

28. Under existing environmental laws of the State of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin, there are no statutory or regulatory requirements applicable to the Mortgagee or any other Secured Party relating to the granting of the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, or of the security interest in any Mortgaged Property that (i) require any notification or certification to the State of Illinois or the State of Wisconsin or any applicable political subdivision thereof of the Illinois Mortgage or the Wisconsin Mortgage, respectively, or (ii) in the event of a discharge of any materials of environmental concern, impose responsibility or liability on the part of the Mortgagee for the undertaking of remedial measures to alleviate environmental contamination resulting from such discharge, unless the Mortgagee manages, operates, controls, or acquires ownership of the Mortgaged Property, or in regard to the Wisconsin Mortgage fails to comply with the provisions of Wis. Stats. § 292.21.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional assumptions, limitations and qualifications:

A. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied, with your permission, upon the Officer’s Certificate and the current conscious awareness of facts or other information of the attorneys currently with our firm who have represented the Loan Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

B. Our opinion is limited by:

(i) Applicable bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, and other laws and judicially developed doctrines relating to or affecting creditors’ or secured creditors’ rights and remedies generally;

(ii) General principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and limitations on the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies;

Page 9

 

(iii) The possibility that certain provisions of the Loan Documents may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law (although we do not believe the inclusion of such provisions renders the Loan Documents invalid), but in our opinion such law does not make the remedies afforded by the Loan Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby;

(iv) The requirement that the enforcing party act in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith in exercising its rights under the Loan Documents and comply with applicable law, including but not limited to, the provisions of part 6 of article 9 of the UCC.

C. Our opinions in paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) are based solely upon our review of certificates from the secretaries of state (or comparable office) of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Loan Party is incorporated, organized or formed, and our opinions in paragraph 16 are based solely upon our review of a certificate from the Secretary of State of Illinois.

D. Our opinions in paragraph 8 are limited to article 9 of the New York UCC, and therefore that paragraph does not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the State of New York and laws of the State of New York except for article 9 of the New York UCC, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to article 9 of the New York UCC, or (iii) under New York UCC §§9-301 through 9-307, what law governs perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection, or priority of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion letter, except as provided in sections 9-301(1) and 9-307(5) of the New York UCC with respect to registered organizations.

E. Our opinions in paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 12 are limited to article 9 of the New York UCC, article 9 of the Wisconsin UCC, article 9 of the Delaware UCC and article 9 of the Arizona UCC, as the case may be, and therefore those paragraphs do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the States of New York, Wisconsin, Delaware and Arizona or laws of the States of New York, Wisconsin, Delaware and Arizona except for UCC article 9, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to article 9 of the New York UCC, article 9 of the Wisconsin UCC, article 9 of the Delaware UCC or article 9 of the Arizona UCC, or (iii) under New York UCC §§9-301 through 9-307, under Wisconsin UCC §§9-301 through 9-307, Delaware UCC §§9-301 through 9-307 or Arizona UCC §§9-301 through 9-307, what law governs perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection, or priority of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion letter, except as provided in sections 9-301(1) and 9-307(5) of the New York, Delaware, Wisconsin and Arizona UCC with respect to registered organizations.

F. Our opinions in paragraphs 14 and 15 are limited to articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC, and therefore such opinions do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the State of New York or laws of the State of New York except for UCC articles 8 and 9, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to articles 8 or 9 of the New York UCC, or (iii) under New York UCC §§9-301 through 9-307, what law governs perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection, or priority of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion

letter, except as provided in paragraphs 14 and 15 and as provided in section 9-305(a) of the New York UCC (but excluding 9-305(c) of the New York UCC).

G. We express no opinion with respect to consumer goods, investment property in a consumer transaction, as-extracted collateral, timber to be cut, commercial tort claims, or goods represented by a certificate of title. We also express no opinion as to (i) matters excluded from article 9 of the UCC by virtue of section 9-109 thereof; or (ii) the creation or perfection of any security interest in, or agricultural lien on, farm products, equipment used in farming operations, accounts or general intangibles arising from or relating to the sale of farm products by a farmer, crops, timber to be cut, as extracted collateral.

H. In the case of proceeds, continuation of perfection of Agent’s security interest therein is limited to the degree set forth in section 9-315 of the UCC. In addition, the perfection of the security interests in chattel paper or instruments is limited to the degree set forth in section 9-330 of the UCC.

I. We call to your attention that in the case of property which becomes collateral after the date hereof, section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) provides that a transfer is not made until the debtor has rights in the property transferred, so a security interest in after-acquired property may be treated as a voidable preference under the conditions (and subject to the exceptions) provided by section 547, and section 552 of the Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.

J. We have made no examination of, and express no opinion as to, (a) the accuracy of any description of collateral, (b) title to the real property, fixtures, personal property, or other collateral described in the Loan Documents or the existence of any liens, charges, encumbrances thereon, or (c) other than as set forth in paragraph 19 above, the priority of the security interests or mortgage liens created or evidenced by any of the Loan Documents.

K. The opinions (other than with respect to UCC matters) expressed herein are limited to the federal laws of the United States, the internal state laws of the States of New York, Wisconsin, Arizona, Illinois, and, in addition, with respect to our opinions relating to the laws of the State of Delaware, the general corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the general limited liability company laws of the State of Delaware, in effect on the date hereof as they presently apply. For purposes of our opinions herein as they relate to the general corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the general limited liability company laws of the State of Delaware, we have reviewed the following materials: Title 6 Chapter 18 (Limited Liability Company Act) of the Delaware Code, as set forth at http://delcode.delaware.gov/title6/c018/index.shtml as of 12:02 p.m. CDT on October 25, 2007; and Title 8 Chapter 1 (General Corporation Law) of the Delaware Code, as set forth at http://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc02/index.shtml#TopOfPage as of 12:04 p.m. CDT on October 25, 2007.

L. We express no opinion herein as to: (i) securities or blue sky laws or regulations; (ii) antitrust or unfair competition laws or regulations; (iii) zoning, land use or subdivision laws or regulations; (iv) labor, ERISA, or other employee benefit laws or regulations; (v) tax, environmental, racketeering or health and safety laws or regulations; (vi) mortgage banking licensing statutes, or (vii) county, city or other local laws, regulations, or ordinances.

M. We express no opinion regarding the (i) effect of any provision of the Loan Documents insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from a Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance with applicable law; (ii) effect of any provision of the Loan Documents imposing penalties or forfeitures; (iii) enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents to the extent that such provision constitutes a waiver of illegality as a defense to performance of contract obligations; and (iv) effect of any provision of the Credit Documents relating to indemnification or exculpation in connection with violations of any securities laws or relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation in connection with willful, reckless or criminal acts or gross negligence of the indemnified or exculpated Person or the Person receiving the contribution.

N. Except as expressly set forth in paragraph 11, we express no opinion as to any actions that may be required to be taken under the New York UCC, the Wisconsin UCC, the Delaware UCC, the Arizona UCC or other applicable law in order for the effectiveness of the Financing Statements, or the validity or perfection of any security interest, to be maintained.

These opinions are given as of the date hereof, they are intended to apply only to those facts and circumstances that exist as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement these opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in laws that may hereafter occur, or to inform the addressee(s) of any change in circumstances occurring after the date hereof that would alter the opinions rendered herein.

This opinion is limited to the matters set forth herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly contained herein. This opinion is being provided solely for the benefit of the addressee(s) hereof and for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Section 5.01(i) of the Credit Agreement. This opinion may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose, relied upon by any other party, or filed with or disclosed to any person, other than to a governmental authority, including a court, in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights or remedies of Agent or the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents or to a banking examiner or regulator in connection with an examination of Agent or a Lender by such governmental authority, without our prior written consent.

In Support of Quarles & Brady LLP Legal Opinion dated November 1, 2007

Regarding the Credit Agreement Referred to Below

Each of the undersigned does hereby certify, with respect to each of the corporations and limited liability companies listed above (each a “Loan Party” and collectively the “Loan Parties”) for which the undersigned is an officer, as set forth in paragraph 1 hereof, as follows:

1. Capacity. Norrie J. Daroga is the duly elected, qualified and acting Secretary of Metavante Corporation, Kirchman Corporation, Printing for Systems, Inc., Brasfield Technology, LLC, Metavante Acquisition Company II LLC, Metavante Operations Resources Corporation, NYCE Payments Network, LLC, Prime Associates, Inc., Valutec Card Solutions, LLC, VECTORsgi, Inc., MBI Benefits, Inc., TREEV LLC, Vicor, Inc., Advanced Financial Solutions, Inc., Endpoint Exchange LLC, GHR Systems, Inc., Link2Gov Corp., and AdminiSource Communications, Inc. Stacey A. Bruckner is the


Table of Contents

duly elected, qualified and acting Assistant Secretary of Kirchman Company LLC, Metavante Payment Services AZ Corporation, and Metavante Payment Services, LLC. Randall J. Erickson is the duly elected, qualified and acting Vice President and Secretary of Metavante Technologies, Inc.

2. Credit Agreement. This Certificate is furnished to Quarles & Brady LLP in connection with its legal opinion, dated the date hereof (the “Legal Opinion”), delivered pursuant to the provisions of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (“Agent”), Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. and Baird Financial Corporation, as Documentation Agents, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as Syndication Agent, the Lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”), Metavante Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Metavante Holding Company), and Metavante Corporation (“Borrower”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Legal Opinion.

3. Personal Knowledge. I am familiar with the terms of the Credit Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and the Spin, and I have personal knowledge of the matters covered by this Certificate, or I have consulted with other officers or representatives of the Loan Parties whose duties and responsibilities make them knowledgeable with respect to such matters and in whom I have confidence.

4. Material Financing Agreements. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the the documents set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto are the only financing agreements, indentures, or instruments or other contractual obligations of any of the Loan Parties which are material to the financial condition of the Loan Parties taken as a whole and which remain outstanding after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Spin.

5. Consents. To the best of my knowledge and belief, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any United States federal governmental agency or body, State of Wisconsin state governmental agency or body, State of Arizona state governmental agency or body, State of Illinois state governmental agency or body, State of New York state governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the New York Business Corporation Law or the New York Limited Liability Company Act, or State of Delaware state governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, is required for the execution and delivery by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings by Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or the performance by the Loan Parties of their respective payment obligations under the Loan Documents or the granting by any Loan Party of any security interests under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, except (a) such as have been duly obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and (b) such filings and other actions as may be required to perfect any lien or security interest which any such agreement purports to create.


Table of Contents

6. Actions, Suits or Proceedings. To the best of my knowledge and belief, there is no action, suit or proceeding now pending before or by any court, arbitrator or governmental agency, body or official, to which any Loan Party is a party or to which the business, assets or property of any Loan Party is subject, and there is no such action, suit or proceeding that is overtly threatened to which any Loan Party or the business, assets or property of any Loan Party would be subject, that in either case questions the validity of the Loan Documents or the Spin.

7. Investment Company Activities. To the best of my knowledge and belief:

(a) Each Loan Party is not, and it does not hold itself out as being, engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities and it has not proposed and does not propose to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities.

(b) Each Loan Party is not engaged, and has not proposed to engage, in the business of issuing “face-amount certificates of the installment type” (as defined below), and it has not been engaged in such business nor does it have any such certificate outstanding. “Face-amount certificate of the installment type” means any certificate, investment contract, or other security which represents an obligation on the part of the Company to pay a stated or determinable sum or sums to the holder of the certificate at a fixed or determinable date or dates more than twenty-four months after the date of issuance, in consideration of the payment of periodic installments of a stated or determinable amount by such holder.

(c) Each Loan Party does not own or propose to acquire “investment securities” (defined below) having a value exceeding 40 percent of the value of its total assets (exclusive of securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. “Investment securities” means all securities, including securities issued to the Company by subsidiaries, except for securities issued by (A) or guaranteed by the federal government, (B) employees’ securities companies, or (C) majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company that meet the requirements set forth in this paragraph 7(c) and paragraphs 7(a) and 7(b) above.

8. Purpose of Loans. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the proceeds of the Loans to be extended under the Credit Agreement will be used solely for the purposes described in Section 4.16 of the Credit Agreement and no portion of any Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” (as such terms as used in Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

9. Mailing Addresses. To the best of my knowledge and belief, each Loan Party maintains an office at the mailing address set forth on each Financing Statement that names such Loan Party as the debtor.


Table of Contents

10. Railroad and Utility Company Activities. To the best of my knowledge and belief, none of the Loan Parties is a railroad, public utility, or transmitting utility; a corporation or cooperative formed to furnish water, heat, power, telegraph or telecommunications services or signals by electricity; engaged in the business of transporting or transmitting gas, gasoline, oils, motor fuels or other fuels by means of pipelines; or engaged in generating and furnishing gas for lighting or fuel or both, supplying water for domestic or public use or for power or manufacturing purposes, or generating, transforming, transmitting or furnishing electric current for light, heat or power, or generating and furnishing steam or supplying hot water for heat, power or manufacturing purposes; or otherwise engaged, directly or through one or more subsidiaries, in the business of a railroad, public utility or transmitting utility.

11. Reliance. Quarles & Brady LLP may rely on this Certificate for purposes of preparing and delivering its legal opinion to the Lenders and the Agent.

4


(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until (i) the Commitments have been terminated and (ii) all the Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to unasserted claims) and the Guarantor Obligations under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or have been cash collateralized or otherwise subject to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Commitments have been terminated and the Borrower Obligations (other than, in each case, indemnities and other contingent obligations not then due and payable) are paid in full and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or have been cash collateralized or otherwise subject to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations (other than, in each case, indemnities and other contingent obligations not then due and payable) are paid in full,

 

5


no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations (other than, in each case, indemnities and other contingent Obligations not then due and payable) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the same form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, then due in such order as set forth in the Credit Agreement or as set forth in Section 6.5 hereof (as applicable).

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may reasonably deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue

 

6


such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Funding Office.

(o) all books and records pertaining to the Collateral; and

(p) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in and the Collateral shall not include for any purpose any (i) Restricted Funds and any Deposit Accounts in which they are deposited; (ii) in any other property to the extent that such grant of a security interest in such other property (w) is prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a Governmental Authority, (x) requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Requirement of Law or is prohibited by, (y) constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case of any Investment Property, Pledged Stock or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law, or (z) would result in the forfeiture or voiding of a Grantors’ rights in any Trademark application filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on the basis of such Grantor’s “intent-to-use” such trademark, unless and until acceptable evidence of use of the Trademark has been filed with and accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to Section 1(c) or Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 1051, et seq.); or (iii) assets subject to a certificate of title statute and other assets that require perfection through “control” as such control can be obtained pursuant to Sections 8-106(c)(2), 8-106(d)(2), 9-104, 9-106(b)(2) or 9-107 of the UCC.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns or has a right to use and transfer each item of the Collateral in which a Lien is purported to be granted hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and

 

8


agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses in the ordinary course of business to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned by, licensed to or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

4.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon timely completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral (except for Monies) in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor (with respect to Intellectual Property, if and to the extent perfection may be achieved by making such filings and taking such other actions specified in Schedule 3) and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on the Collateral by operation of law.

4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business, as the case may be, are specified on Schedule 4. Such Grantor has furnished to the Administrative Agent a certified charter, certificate of incorporation or other organization document and long-form good standing certificate as of a date which is recent to the date hereof.

4.4 Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, locations at which are kept Inventory and Equipment (other than mobile goods) with a fair market value at such location in excess of $1,000,000 is set forth on Schedule 5.

4.5 Investment Property. (a) The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Capital Stock of each Issuer owned by such Grantor or, in the case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, 65% of the outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.

(b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, each of the Pledged Notes constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Pledged Stock, Pledged Notes (to the extent delivered to the Administrative Agent) and any intercompany notes pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement.

 

9


4.6 Receivables. (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper in an amount in excess of 1,000,000 which has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(b) None of the obligors on any Receivables with an outstanding amount in excess of $1,000,000 is a Governmental Authority.

4.7 Intellectual Property. (a) Schedule 6 lists all (i) Registered Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof, and (ii) all Registered Intellectual Property exclusively licensed by such Grantor as of the date hereof, noting in each case the relevant registration, application or serial number, the jurisdiction of registration or application, and, in the case of (ii), the title of the license, the counterparty to such license and the date of such license.

(b) Each Grantor owns, or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, free of all Liens (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement), except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor takes reasonable actions to protect, preserve and maintain such Intellectual Property that is material to the conduct of its business. On the date hereof, all material Registered Intellectual Property owned or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, exclusively licensed by each Grantor is valid and enforceable and has not expired or been abandoned.

(c) Except as set forth in Schedule 6, as of the date hereof, (i) no action or proceeding (other than office actions issued in the ordinary course of prosecution of Intellectual Property) is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened or imminent, seeking to limit, cancel or challenge the validity, enforceability, ownership or use of any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor or such Grantor’s interest therein, and (ii) no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator which would limit, cancel or challenge the validity, enforceability, ownership or use of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or as set forth in Schedule 6, the use of Intellectual Property by each Grantor does not Infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person, and, to such Grantor’s knowledge, its Intellectual Property is not being Infringed by any other Person.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 6, on the date hereof, none of the Intellectual Property is the subject of any material licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is the licensor or franchisor.

4.8 Commercial Tort Claims. (a) On the date hereof, except to the extent listed in Section 3.1 above, no Grantor has rights in any Commercial Tort Claim with potential value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) in excess of $2,500,000.

(b) Upon the filing of a financing statement covering any Commercial Tort Claim referred to in Section 5.11 hereof against such Grantor in the jurisdiction specified in Schedule 3 hereto, the security interest granted in such Commercial Tort Claim will constitute a valid perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase such Collateral from Grantor, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens on such Collateral except for Liens permitted by Section 7.3(a), (b), (e), (g), (h), (r) or (t) of the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on such Collateral by operation of law.

 

10


SECTION 5. COVENANTS

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations (other than indemnities and other contingent obligations) shall have been paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless cash collateralized or subject to other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent) and the Commitments shall have terminated:

5.1 Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper. Any Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper with a face value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $2,500,000 in the aggregate (other than checks delivered in the ordinary course of business which will promptly be deposited for collection) shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

5.2 Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Such Grantor will maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies (i) insuring the Inventory and Equipment in accordance with the Credit Agreement and (ii) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, insuring such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against liability for personal injury and property damage relating to such Inventory and Equipment, such policies to be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b) All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, (ii) name the Administrative Agent as insured party or loss payee, (iii) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, include a breach of warranty clause and (iv) be reasonably satisfactory in all other material respects to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance substantially concurrently with each delivery of the Borrower’s audited annual financial statements and such supplemental reports with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

5.3 Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor will pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well as all material claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and such proceedings would not reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest therein.

5.4 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. (a) Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2, and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, subject to the rights of such Grantor under the Loan Documents to dispose of the Collateral.

 

11


(b) Upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of such Grantor and such other reports in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of Investment Property (other than Deposit Accounts, commodities accounts and securities accounts), taking any actions necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with respect thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.4 shall not apply to, and Grantors shall not be required to take any of the actions contemplated herein with respect to, (i) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (x) that the cost of obtaining a security interest therein is excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby and (y) in consultation with the Borrower, should be excluded, taking into account the practical operations of the Borrower’s business and its client relationships, (ii) the extent prohibited by applicable law or contractual provisions and (iii) such other assets not constituting Collateral.

5.5 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Such Grantor will not, except upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of all additional executed financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein: (i) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 4.3; or (ii) change its legal name or corporate structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement would become misleading.

5.6 Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Administrative Agent and the Lenders promptly, in reasonable detail, of:

(a) any Lien (other than security interests created hereby or Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would materially adversely affect the ability of the Administrative Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and

(b) the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely effect the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby.

5.7 Investment Property. (a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), options or rights in respect of the Capital Stock of any Issuer constituting Pledged Stock, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in

 

12


exchange for, any shares of such Pledged Stock owned by such Grantor, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, hold the same in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and deliver the same forthwith to the Administrative Agent in the same form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Administrative Agent so reasonably requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations, giving effect to the limitation that the Obligations will not be secured by a pledge of more than 65% of the total outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary or of a Subsidiary that is a holding company of equity interests in Foreign Subsidiaries to the extent such Subsidiary’s only assets consist of equity interests in Foreign Subsidiaries.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Capital Stock of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Capital Stock of any nature of any Issuer (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (ii) dispose of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof constituting Collateral (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) or (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof constituting Collateral, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or Liens expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer of Pledged Stock, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.7(a) with respect to the Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) with respect to the Investment Property issued by it.

5.8 Receivables. (a) Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, such Grantor will not during an Event of Default (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any Receivable, unless the aggregate amount of all Receivables subject to extension in any fiscal year is not in excess of $2,500,000, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for materially lesser amount thereof, unless the aggregate amount of all compromised or settled Receivables in any fiscal year is not in excess of $2,500,000, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, unless the aggregate amount of all such released payments in any fiscal year is not in excess of $2,500,000, (iv) allow any credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable, unless the aggregate amount of all credits or discounts in any fiscal year is not in excess of $2,500,000 or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable in any manner that could materially adversely affect the value thereof.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables of the Grantors.

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, curtail or terminate said authority (and shall reinstate said authority upon the cure or waiver of such Event of Default). At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may require any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the same form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Obligations, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

 

15


(c) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of (or originals to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent) all material documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables of such Grantor, including, without limitation, copies of (or originals to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent) all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the material rights and remedies of any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property (other than dividends, payments and proceeds expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement to be paid to a party other than the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party), to hold the same as additional collateral

 

16


security for and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may have any or all of the Investment Property constituting Collateral registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may or shall, as applicable, thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Upon the cure or waiver of any Event of Default in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall as soon as practically reasonable (1) take such steps reasonably requested by the applicable Grantor (at the expense of the Borrower) to cause any Investment Property registered pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 6.3(b) to be registered in the name of the original Grantor in which such Investment Property was registered prior to the Event of Default which has been cured or waived and (2) repay to each Grantor any dividends, interest, principal or other distributions held by the Administrative Agent that such Grantor would otherwise have been permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a) of this Section 6.3 and that were not applied to repay the Obligations.

6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the same form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5 Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent

 

17


shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and may do so at such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds in the following order:

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

Fourth, any balance remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and upon the sending of a written notice to the Borrower of its intention to exercise remedies hereunder, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon the consummation of any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any

 

18


provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

6.7 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

6.8 Subordination. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owing by it to any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of such Grantor’s Obligations.

SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or reasonably desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do, so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and record or have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Intellectual Property;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

 

19


(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Registered Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable rate per annum at which interest would then be payable under the Credit Agreement on past due ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the

 

20


Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be

 

21


construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent (to the same extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, indemnity and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (to the same extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, trustees, agents and controlling persons harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (to the same extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

8.6 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the relevant Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy, pdf or e-mail), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or

 

22


unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Exhibit 10.1

METAVANTE

DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

ARTICLE I

Introduction

Metavante Holding Company (to be renamed as “Metavante Technologies, Inc) is establishing the Metavante Directors Deferred Compensation Plan effective November 1, 2007 to enable its outside Directors to defer all or any part of their compensation from the Corporation.

This document is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder and shall be interpreted accordingly. If any provision or term of this document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE II

Definitions and Construction

As used herein, the following words shall have the following meanings:

2.01 Account. The account maintained for each Participant pursuant to Article V below. The Participant’s Account shall include such subaccounts as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable for purposes of implementing separate Distribution Elections for deferrals made in separate years and/or for purposes of implementing the Participant’s Investment Election or otherwise.

2.02 Administrator. The Board of Directors of the Corporation.

2.03 Affiliate. Any corporation or other entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, the Corporation. Control means the ability to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of a corporation or other entity or, if there is no Board of Directors, a majority of the body which governs the entity.

2.04 Beneficiaries. Those persons designated by a Participant to receive benefits hereunder or, failing such a designation, the spouse or, if none, the estate of a Participant.

2.05 Change of Control. “Change of Control” shall have the same meaning as in the Metavante Corporation 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.


2.06 Code. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2.07 Common Stock. The common stock of the Corporation.

2.08 Corporation. Metavante Holding Company (to be renamed Metavante Technologies, Inc).

2.09 Deferral Election. The election by a Participant, from time to time, to defer Fees and/or Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

2.10 Distribution Date. In the case of a lump sum distribution, “Distribution Date” means February 15 following the year in which Separation from Service occurs. In the case of an installment distribution, “Distribution Date” means January 1 of the year following the year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs.

2.11 Distribution Election(s). The election(s) by a Participant to choose the method of distribution of his Account. As described in Section 7.02(b), a Participant may have multiple Distribution Elections in effect.

2.12 Disability. A Participant shall be considered to be suffering from a Disability if the Participant is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity.

2.13 Fair Market Value. The closing sale price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as reported in the Midwest Edition of the Wall Street Journal for the applicable date; provided that, if no sales of Common Stock were made on said exchange on that date, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the closing sale price of the Common Stock as reported for the next succeeding day on which sales of Common Stock are made on said exchange, or, failing any such sales, such other market price as the Committee may determine in conformity with pertinent law.

2.14 Fees. The cash payments which would be made to the Director in the absence of a deferral election hereunder for his services as a Director of the Corporation.

2.15 Investment Election. The form filed by the Participant from time to time which designates the Participant’s investment choices.

2.16 Participant. A non-employee Director of the Corporation who is eligible under Article III (such person shall be known as an “Active Participant”) and any person who previously participated in the Plan.

2.17 Plan. The Metavante Directors Deferred Compensation Plan set forth herein and as amended from time to time.

2.18 Plan Year. The calendar year.

 

2


2.19 Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units awarded to the Director under an equity compensation plan sponsored by the Corporation.

2.20 “Separation from Service” means expiration or termination of the arrangement with the Corporation pursuant to which the Participant performed services as a director of the Corporation if such expiration or termination constitutes a good faith and complete termination of the relationship and all other independent contractor relationships the Participant has with the Corporation. A good faith and complete termination of a relationship shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Corporation anticipates a renewal of a contractual relationship or anticipates that the Participant shall become an employee of the Corporation. For this purpose, the Corporation is considered to anticipate the renewal of a contractual relationship with the Participant if it intends to contract again for the services provided under the expired arrangement, and neither the Corporation nor the Participant has eliminated the Participant as a possible provider of services under any such new arrangement. Further, the Corporation is considered to intend to contract again for the services provided under an expired arrangement if the Corporation’s doing so is conditioned only upon incurring a need for the services, the availability of funds or both. The foregoing requirements are deemed satisfied if no amount will be paid to the Participant before a date at least 12 months after the day on which the arrangement expires pursuant to which the Participant performed services for the Corporation (or, in the case of more than one arrangement, all such arrangements expire) and no amount payable to the Participant on that date will be paid to the Participant if, after the expiration of the arrangement (or arrangements) and before that date, the Participant performs services for the Corporation as a director or other independent contractor or an employee).

2.21 Unforeseeable Emergency. A severe financial hardship to a Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant or the Participant’s spouse or dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code, without regard to Section 151 (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)), loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, as a result of a natural disaster), or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. For example, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication, may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Finally, the need to pay for funeral expenses of a spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a), without regard to Section 151 (b)(1),(b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)) may also constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Except as otherwise provided above, the purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not Unforeseeable Emergencies. Whether a Participant is faced with an Unforeseeable Emergency is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case.

ARTICLE III

Eligibility

3.01 Conditions of Eligibility. Each non-employee Director of the Corporation becomes eligible immediately upon election as a Director.

 

3


ARTICLE IV

Deferrals and Other Contributions

4.01 Deferral Elections.

(a) Fees. A Participant may elect to defer up to 100% of his Fees for services performed during a Plan Year by completing and filing such forms as required by the Corporation prior to the first day of the Plan Year. A Participant may elect that his deferrals shall be taken either at a uniform percentage rate from each of his Fee payments during the Plan Year. Deferred Fees shall be retained by the Corporation, credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 5.01 and paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. A Director who is not already a Participant and is not already eligible to participate in any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the account balance type sponsored by the Corporation who becomes a Participant for the first time during a Plan Year may within 30 days after the effective date of participation make an election to defer a uniform percentage of Fees to be paid to him subsequently for services to be performed subsequent to the deferral election (not to exceed 100% of such payments).

(b) Restricted Stock Units. A Participant may elect to defer a specified percentage of Restricted Stock Units granted to him in any Plan Year (not to exceed 100% of such Restricted Stock Units) by completing and filing such forms as required by the Corporation. To be effective, the deferral election must be filed prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which the restricted Stock Units are granted. A Director who is not already a Participant and is not already eligible to participate in any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Corporation of the account balance type who becomes a Participant for the first time during a Plan Year may, within 30 days after the effective date of participation, make an election to defer a specified percentage of Restricted Stock Units granted after such election is made.

4.02 Continued Effect of Elections.

(a) Fees. A Participant’s deferral election with respect to a Plan Year under Section 4.01(a) shall be irrevocable after the last date upon which it may be filed pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and shall continue in effect each subsequent Plan Year until prospectively revoked or amended in writing. For a revocation or amendment to be effective with respect to Fees for services performed during a Plan Year, it must be filed by the last date for which an effective deferral election is permitted to be filed with respect to those Fees under Section 4.01(a).

(b) Restricted Stock Unit. A Participant’s deferral election under Section 4.01(b) with respect to Restricted Stock Units shall be irrevocable after the last date upon which it may be filed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and shall continue in effect with respect to Restricted Stock Units granted in subsequent Plan Years until prospectively revoked or amended in writing. For a revocation or amendment to be effective for any Restricted Stock Units, it must be filed by the last date for which an effective deferral election is permitted to be filed with respect to those Restricted Stock Units under Section 4.01(b).

 

4


4.03 Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event that a Participant makes application for a hardship distribution under Section 7.04 and the Administrator determines that an Unforeseeable Emergency exists, all deferral elections otherwise in effect under this Article IV for the Participant and any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the account balance type sponsored by the Corporation shall immediately terminate upon such determination. To resume deferrals thereafter, a Participant must make an election satisfying the provisions of Section 4.01(a) and/or (b), as the case may be, as those provisions apply to someone who is already a Participant in the Plan.

ARTICLE V

Accounts and Sub-Accounts

5.01 Credits to Account. Bookkeeping amounts equal to the amounts deferred by a Participant pursuant to Article IV shall, subject to Section 5.02(b)(vii), be credited to the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable after the deferred compensation would otherwise have been paid to such Participant in the absence of deferral.

5.02 Valuation of Account.

(a) The Participant’s Account shall be credited or charged with deemed earnings or losses as if it were invested in accordance with paragraph (b) below.

(b) (i) The investment options available hereunder for the deemed investment of the Account shall be the Common Stock option and the other options specified in Section 5.03. However, in no event shall the Corporation be required to make any such investment in the Common Stock option or any other investment option and, to the extent such investments are made, such investments shall remain an asset of the Corporation subject to the claims of its general creditors.

(ii) On the date deferrals are credited to the Participant’s Account under Section 5.01, such amounts shall be deemed to be invested in one or more of the investment options designated by the Participant for such deemed investment pursuant to Section 5.03. Once made, the Participant’s investment designation shall continue in effect for existing Account balances and all future deferrals and contributions until changed by the Participant. Any such change may be prospectively elected by the Participant at the times established by the Administrator, which shall be no less frequently than semi-annually, and shall be effective only from and after the effective date of such change. Until such time as the Administrator takes action to the contrary, such changes may be elected at the times specified in Section 5.03.

(iii) A Participant’s balance in the Common Stock option shall be determined as though deferrals credited to the Participant’s Account allocated to that option are invested in Common Stock by purchase at the Fair Market Value price of such stock on the date the amounts are credited to the Participant’s Account.

(iv) The portion of a Participant’s Account invested in the Common Stock option shall be called the Metavante Stock Portion. The remaining portion of the Participant’s Account is herein referred to as the General Investment Portion.

 

5


(v) The value of the Metavante Stock Portion on any particular date will be based upon the value of the shares of Common Stock which such Portion is deemed to hold on that date. Subject to subparagraph (vii) below, the shares of such stock deemed to be held in such Portion shall be credited with dividends at the time they are credited with respect to actual shares of Common Stock and such dividends shall be deemed to be used to purchase additional shares of Common Stock on the day following the crediting of such dividends at the then Fair Market Value price of such stock. Subject to subparagraph (vii) below, the Metavante Stock Portion shall also be credited from time to time with additional shares of Common Stock equal in number to the number of shares granted in any stock dividend or split to which the holder of a like number of shares of Common Stock would be entitled. All other distributions with respect to shares of Common Stock shall be similarly applied.

(vi) The valuation of the funds held in the General Investment Portion shall be accomplished in the same manner as though the deemed investments in such funds had actually been made and are valued at their fair market value price on valuation dates hereunder.

(vii) A Participant’s Account shall be valued as of December 31 each year and at such other times established by the Administrator, which shall be no less frequently than quarterly. Until such time as the Administrator takes action to the contrary, such valuation shall be quarterly. The Corporation shall increase the Account of each Participant by (A) the amount, if any, of deferrals credited pursuant to Section 5.01 during any calendar quarter, and (B) any investment income or gains and decrease each Participant’s Account by (A) any withdrawals or distributions from the Account during any calendar quarter and (B) any investment losses resulting as if the Account were invested pursuant to the timely-filed Investment Election in effect for such calendar quarter. For purposes of computing the investment return on the Account for any quarter, the principal balance as of the first day of the relevant quarter shall equal the balance as of the end of the preceding quarter, increased by 50% of the amounts, if any, of deferrals credited to the Account during the quarter pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof and decreased by any distributions made to the Participant or his Beneficiaries from the Account during the quarter.

(viii) All elections and designations under this Section 5.02 shall be made in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator.

(ix) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.02 to the contrary, a Participant may not make any election or transaction in Common Stock at a time when (A) the Participant is in possession of any material non-public information or at a time not permitted under the Corporation’s policy on insider trading or (B) not permitted under applicable law.

(c) The Corporation shall provide quarterly reports to each Participant showing (a) the value of the Account as of the most recent calendar quarter end, (b) the deferrals and contributions credited to the Participant under Section 5.01 for such quarter and (c) the amount of any investment gain or loss.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the deemed investments are to be used for measurement purposes only and shall

 

6


not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of the Participant’s Account balance in any investment option. In the event that the Corporation or the trustee of any grantor trust which the Corporation may choose to establish to finance some or all of its obligations hereunder, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of such options, the Participant shall have no rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant’s Account balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Corporation or any trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Corporation.

5.03 Available Investment Options.

(a) Until changed by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the investment options available to Participants are (i) the Moody’s A Long-Term Corporate Bond Rate (the “default option”) adjusted annually to equal the average yield for the month of September of the previous year (ii) the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the applicable quarter and (iii) Common Stock. All investment elections must be in increments of 10%. If a Participant does not file an Investment Election, the portion of the Account attributable to deferral of Fees shall be deemed to be invested in the default option and the portion attributable to deferral of Restricted Stock Units shall be invested in Common Stock. The Participant may change his Investment Election as of January 1 or July 1 in any Plan Year by delivering to the Corporation a new Investment Election at least 15 days prior to such effective date. Upon a Change of Control, the Corporation, the Administrator or any successor thereto, may not change the investment choices available to Participants hereunder without the consent of a majority of the holders of Account balances under the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

Vesting

6.01 Full Vesting. Subject to the rights of the Corporation’s creditors as set forth in Section 5.02(d), the Account of a Participant, including all earnings accrued thereon, shall at all times be fully vested.

ARTICLE VII

Manner and Timing of Distribution

7.01 Payment of Benefits. After a Participant’s Separation from Service the balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s Beneficiary) on the Participant’s Distribution Date. Payment shall be made in a Single Sum or Installments as specified in the Participant’s Distribution Election pursuant to Section 7.02:

(a) Single Sum. A single sum cash distribution of the value of the Account shall be paid on the Distribution Date.

(b) Installments. The value of the Account shall be paid in annual cash installments with the first of such installments to be paid on the Distribution Date and with

 

7


subsequent installments paid on anniversaries of the Distribution Date. Annual installments shall be paid over the number of years selected by the Participant in the Distribution Election made pursuant to Section 7.02, which number must be either 5, 10 or 15. The earnings (or losses) provided for in Article V shall continue to accrue on the balance remaining in the Account during the period of installment payments. Each annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying the value of the Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a 10 year annual installment method, the first payment shall be one-tenth (1/10) of the Account balance, the following year, the payment shall be one-ninth (1/9) of the Account balance, etc. Installment Distributions from the Participant’s Account shall be taken on a pro rata basis from the amounts held by his Account in each investment option which he has elected.

7.02 Distribution Election.

(a) An individual who first becomes a Participant at the beginning of a Plan Year shall, prior to his date of participation, complete a Distribution Election specifying the form of payment applicable to such Participant’s Account under the Plan. Absent an election by such Participant by the effective date of participation, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected payment in the five (5) annual installment payment form. An individual who first becomes a Participant other than on the first day of a Plan Year shall, no later than 30 days after the effective date of participation, complete a Distribution Election specifying the form of payment applicable to such Participant’s Account. In the event such a Participant does not make an election within such 30 day period, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected the five (5) annual installment payment form. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if such Participant is already a participant in any other nonqualified plan or plans of the account balance type sponsored by the Corporation or one of it’s Affiliates, the most recent distribution election with respect to any one of those plans shall be the form of payment deemed elected under this Plan, regardless of whether the individual elects or is deemed to have elected a different form of payment during that initial 30 day period, and the Distribution Date shall be the same distribution date which would apply under that other plan.

(b) Once a Participant files a Distribution Election, it shall apply to deferrals and contributions credited before a new Distribution Election is effective for Plan Years after the new Distribution Election is filed. A Participant may have multiple Distribution Elections in effect. For example, an individual who is an Active Participant in the Plan for ten Plan Years who files a new Distribution Election prior to the beginning of each Plan Year will have ten Distribution Elections in effect—one for each Plan Year he is an Active Participant. An individual who is an Active Participant for ten Plan Years who files only one Distribution Election at the commencement of Plan participation will have one Distribution Election governing all of the deferrals and contributions credited to his Account for the ten Plan Years he is an Active Participant.

(c) A Participant may change an existing Distribution Election for deferrals and contributions which have already been credited, by completing and filing a change of Distribution Election.

 

8


(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (c), a Distribution Election changing the Participant’s form of payment specified in a previously existing Distribution Election shall not be effective if the Participant has a Separation from Service within twelve months after the date on which the election change is filed with the Corporation. Any change in payment method must have the effect of delaying the commencement of payment to a date which is at least five (5) years after the initially scheduled commencement date of payment previously in effect.

(e) For purposes of compliance with Code Section 409A, a series of installment payments is designated as a single payment rather than a right to a series of separate payments. Therefore, a Participant who has elected (or is deemed to have elected) any option under Section 7.01 may substitute any other option available under Section 7.01 for the option originally selected as long as the one-year and five-year rules described in paragraph (d) are satisfied.

(f) The five-year delay rule described in paragraph (d) above does not apply if the revised payment method applies only upon the Participant’s death or Disability.

7.03 Upon Death.

(a) Upon a Participant’s death, any balance remaining in his Accounts shall be paid by the Corporation in accordance with his Distribution Election(s) except that such payments shall be made to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries specified by the Participant or, if none, to his surviving spouse or, if none, to his estate. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive the unpaid balance of his Accounts upon his death and may revoke or modify such designation at any time and from time to time by submitting a beneficiary designation to the Administrator.

(b) If a Participant designates multiple Beneficiaries as either primary or contingent Beneficiaries, and one of the contingent Beneficiaries has predeceased the Participant, the deceased Beneficiary’s share shall go to the Beneficiary’s estate. For example, if a Participant designates his spouse as the sole primary beneficiary and his three children as equal contingent beneficiaries, and if the spouse and one child predecease the Participant, the two children would each get one-third of the distributions from the Accounts and the predeceased child’s one-third share would go to his estate. The spouse’s estate would be entitled to nothing.

(c) If a Beneficiary survives a Participant but dies prior to receipt of the entire amount in the Account due him, the Corporation shall make payments to the Estate of the Beneficiary in accordance with the Distribution Election. For example, if the Participant’s spouse is his primary Beneficiary and his three children are his contingent Beneficiaries, and if the spouse survives the Participant such that she is receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of this Plan, but dies prior to the receipt of all distributions to which she is entitled, any remaining distributions shall be paid to the spouse’s estate and not to the contingent beneficiaries.

7.04 Unforeseeable Emergencies. A partial or total distribution of the Participant’s Account shall be made prior to the otherwise applicable Distribution Date upon the Participant’s

 

9


request and a demonstration by the Participant of severe financial hardship as a result of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Such distribution shall be made in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Administrator’s determination that the foregoing requirements have been met. In any case, a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under Article IV. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need must take into account any additional compensation that is available because of cancellation of a deferral election under Article IV upon a payment due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. The payment may be made from any arrangement in which the Participant participates that provides for payment upon an Unforeseeable Emergency, provided that the arrangement under which the payment was made must be designated at the time of payment.

7.05 Upon a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Distribution Elections, a Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum after the Participant’s Separation from Service, but only if such Separation from Service occurs when, or within a year after, a Change of Control (which is also a “change of control” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder) takes place. Such distribution shall be made no later than forty-five days after Separation from Service.

7.06 Delayed Distributions.

(a) A payment otherwise required under Sections 7.01 through 7.04 shall be delayed if the Corporation reasonably determines that the making of the payment will jeopardize the ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern; provided, however, that payments shall be made on the earliest date on which the Corporation reasonably determines that the making of the payment will not jeopardize the ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern.

(b) A payment otherwise required under Sections 7.01 through 7.04 shall be delayed if the Corporation reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable law; provided, however, that payments shall nevertheless be made on the earliest date on which the Corporation reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. (The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the applicability of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.)

(c) A payment otherwise required under Sections 7.01 through 7.04 shall be delayed upon such other events and conditions as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

1. Employment. Metavante Technologies hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve Metavante Technologies, on the terms and conditions set forth herein from and after the Effective Date.

2. Term. Except as provided below, the term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third anniversary of the Effective Date unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 10 below (the “Initial Term of Employment”). If neither party has (a) terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 below, or (b) given notice not less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term of Employment or any Renewal Term of its intention not to renew the term of this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement shall continue for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) after the end of the Initial Term of Employment and each Renewal Term (such Renewal Terms together with the Initial Term of Employment, the “Term of Employment”). The Term of Employment shall automatically end upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. Upon the Executive’s termination of employment with Metavante Technologies for any reason, he shall immediately resign all offices and positions (including directorships) with Metavante Technologies or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliates”).


3. Position and Duties.

(a) The Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Metavante Technologies, and shall perform all duties customarily attendant to such position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Metavante Technologies, in each case, in accordance with company policy as set forth from time to time by the Board and subject to the terms hereof. At the request of Metavante Technologies, Executive will also serve as an officer and/or member of the board of directors of any Affiliate, without additional compensation.

(b) The Executive agrees to devote all of his business attention and time to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder during the Term of Employment and to use his reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully, effectively and efficiently his responsibilities and obligations hereunder, provided that if such service and activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities hereunder or the conduct of the ordinary course of the business of Metavante Technologies or its Affiliates, the Executive may take reasonable amounts of time to engage in additional activities in connection with personal investments and community activities, and may serve as a member of the board of directors of up to two public companies which do not compete with Metavante Technologies, provided that such service on any particular board of directors shall be subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

4. Base Salary. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall receive from Metavante Technologies a base salary at an annual rate of Six Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000) per year (such annual rate of compensation, as it may be increased from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Metavante Technologies. Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review for increase by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) during the Term of Employment.

5. Annual Bonus. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”).

The Annual Bonus shall be determined and awarded in the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on the achievement of performance objectives for the applicable year. Unless the Executive is employed on the applicable payment date for annual bonuses, the Executive will not be entitled to receive the Annual Bonus for the applicable year (subject to Section 10 of this Agreement).

6. Long Term Incentive Compensation. Any Metavante Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan awards previously granted to Executive shall continue in effect in accordance with the terms of such Plan and awards, modified as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement between Metavante Technologies, Metavante Corporation, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and New M&I Corporation dated April 3, 2007, as amended (the “Employee Matters Agreement”).

Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, Executive will also receive a grant of options with respect to 750,000 shares of Metavante Technologies common stock from the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan shortly following the Separation, and such options will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement.

(e) Termination Due to Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that Metavante Technologies shall provide any payments described in Section 10(c)(i) through Section 10(c)(iii) above with such payments being made to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of death. In addition, Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, shall receive six months of Annual Base Salary which shall be paid on a monthly basis over the six month period following the month of the Executive’s death. In addition, “other benefits” shall be provided following the Executive’s death which shall be benefits for Executive’s family at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by Metavante Technologies to surviving families of peer executives of Metavante Technologies and its affiliates under such plans, programs, practice and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to such peer executives and their families at any time during the 12 month period ending on the date of the Executive’s death.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 10(c) or (d)(vi) to the contrary, (i) to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 10(d)(vi) or “other benefits” provided pursuant to Section 10(c) during the first six months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six months following termination and shall be reimbursed for the cost of such coverage six months after Executive’s termination; and (ii) severance payments pursuant to Section 10(d) are conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems reasonably necessary for purposes of ensuring its enforceability or to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of any medical benefits coverage pursuant to this Section 10 would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of such coverage and Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall not be reimbursed by Metavante Technologies for doing so.

(g) Nonduplication of Payments. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, provided that once a “Change of Control” has occurred as defined in the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement, this Agreement shall cease to be of any force and effect, and, instead, any payments Executive may be entitled to as a result of termination of employment shall be paid under Executive’s Change of Control Agreement.

(h) 409A. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 409A of the Code, Metavante Technologies and the Executive shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due hereunder is to be made, except as may otherwise be permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

11. Representation and Warranties/Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Acknowledgement by Executive. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the contacts and relationships of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with its customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations are, and have been, established and maintained at great expense and provide Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with a substantial competitive advantage in conducting their business. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of the Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies, the Executive will have unique and extensive exposure to and personal contact with customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates, and that Executive will be able to establish a unique relationship with those persons that will enable Executive, both during and after employment, to unfairly compete with Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates markets and sells products and services to customers throughout the United States and in Canada, that Executive’s job duties will include the entire United States and Canada and could be expanded to cover other markets outside the United States and Canada, and that the Confidential Information (as defined in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement) of Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates and Executive’s customer knowledge and relationships would be of value to a competitor in competing against Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates anywhere in the United States and in Canada and in any other markets outside the United States and Canada into which Metavante Technologies and/or one of its Affiliates may expand its activities. Furthermore, the Parties agree that the terms and conditions of the following restrictive covenants are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business, trade secrets and Confidential Information of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates and to prevent great damage or loss to Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates as a result of action taken by the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the consideration provided for herein is sufficient to fully and adequately compensate the Executive for agreeing to such restrictions.

(b) Non-Competition. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not (i) in any capacity, directly or indirectly, participate in, provide assistance to, or have a financial or other interest in any activity or other enterprise which competes with Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates or (ii). accept employment with, or consult with, or otherwise provide any services to, any person or entity (including one in which Executive has an ownership interest) that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates in any capacity in any portion of the Territory, as defined herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 11(b) for the Executive to join a commercial enterprise with multiple divisions or business lines if the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates provides less than 5% of such commercial enterprise’s net revenues and sales for its most recently completed fiscal year, and the Executive has no direct involvement with (including oversight), and performs no functions on behalf of the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its

 

8


Affiliates. The passive ownership of less than a 5% interest in a corporation whose shares are traded in a recognized stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, even though that corporation may be a competitor of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates, shall not be deemed to violate the restriction in the immediately preceding sentence. “Territory” shall be limited to the United States and Canada and unless Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, at the time of termination of Executive’s employment, is selling and marketing its products and/or services in markets outside the United States and Canada and Executive’s job duties involve any of those markets, in which case “Territory” shall include the United States and Canada plus any other geographic market with respect to which Executive has job duties as of the date of termination of employment with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates. If Executive is considering taking a position to work for, or consult with, a person or entity that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, and Executive provides the details of the position, then within fourteen (14) days of receipt of all necessary information, Metavante Technologies will advise Executive whether it considers that position to be a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to leave Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Metavante Technologies or any such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand, (ii) hire any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate until twelve (12) months after such individual’s relationship with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate has been terminated or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer (whether former or current), supplier, licensee or other business relation of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to cease doing business with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, on the other hand.

12. Return of Property. All equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, data bases, correspondence, recordings, stored data (including data or files that exist on any personal computer), software, and any other physical items, including copies and duplicates, that Executive generates or develops or which come into Executive’s possession or control during employment with Metavante Technologies, whether of a public nature or not, shall be and remain the property of Metavante Technologies, and Executive shall deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Metavante Technologies upon termination of employment.

13. Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement. As a condition of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall execute and deliver to Metavante Technologies on the date hereof an Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the extent that Executive does not already have such an agreement in effect covering Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies.

14. Common and Statutory Law of Torts and Trade Secrets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate the common or statutory law of torts or trade secrets where it provides the Executive or Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates broader protection than that provided herein.

15. Specific Performance. The Executive re-affirms Section 11(a) and further acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Sections 11, 12 and 13: (i) are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, (ii) are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, (iii) impose no undue hardship on the Executive and (iv) are not injurious to the public. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to Metavante Technologies may result in the event the Executive breaches any covenant or agreement contained in Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement and that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. Therefore, if the Executive engages in any act in violation of the provisions of Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement (or threatens to engage in any act in violation of such provisions), the Executive agrees that Metavante Technologies shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law (including money damages) or under this Agreement, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage, in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available to the Metavante Technologies for such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

16. Withholding Taxes. All payments to the Executive or his beneficiary hereunder, including, without limitation, Base Salary and Annual Bonuses, shall be subject to withholding on account of federal, state and local taxes as required by law, and other customary or required deductions. If any payment hereunder is insufficient to provide the amount of such taxes required to be withheld, Metavante Technologies may withhold such taxes from any other payment due the Executive or his beneficiary.

17. Assignability; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, testamentary trustees, devisees, or legatees, by operation of law or otherwise (in the case of the Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of Metavante Technologies under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Metavante Technologies except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to (a) a merger or consolidation in which Metavante Technologies is not the surviving entity or (b) a sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of Metavante Technologies. No obligations of the Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Executive other than by operation of law. No third party shall be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Agreement, except for Affiliates of Metavante Technologies.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, shall be deemed to contain the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any other prior agreements, negotiations, or commitments, whether written or oral, between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof; and all such other agreements, negotiations, commitments and writings will have no further force or effect, and the Parties to any such other agreement, negotiation, commitment or writing will have no further rights or obligations thereunder.

 

10


19. Amendment. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by both the Executive and an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any provision or policy set forth in any of Metavante Technologies’ employee manuals, handbooks or other written materials, this Agreement shall be deemed to control. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement, including Exhibits A and B, to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies, as the case may be.

20. Severability. Whenever possible each provision and term of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or invalid, then such provision or term will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. If any of the covenants set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement or in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement are held to be unreasonable, illegal, void, unenforceable or against public policy, such covenants shall be considered divisible with respect to duration, matter, and geographic area, and any court so holding shall reduce the duration, matter, and/or geographic area of such covenants, and in such reduced form such covenants shall be enforceable and shall be enforced.

21. Survival. Except in a termination pursuant to Section 1 due to the Separation not occurring on or prior to April 4, 2008 (in which case no rights or obligations survive) the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 9(c) and 10-24 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

22. Directors and Officers Liability Coverage; Indemnification. To the extent that Metavante Technologies obtains coverage under a directors and officers liability insurance policy, the Executive will be entitled to such coverage on a basis that is no less favorable than the coverage provided to any other officer or director, as applicable, of Metavante Technologies. Metavante Technologies shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for acts taken within the scope of his employment. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Executive seeking indemnification may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Wisconsin, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

24. Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be deemed given and sufficient if in writing, when personally delivered, or when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight carrier for delivery by overnight mail, or when sent by facsimile actually received by the receiving facsimile machine, in the case of Executive, to:

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

Date Provided to Employee:                     

In order to receive severance benefits under my Employment Agreement with Metavante Technologies, Inc. (my “Employment Agreement”), I understand that I must sign and return this Release to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metavante. I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on                     ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective                     . I understand that regardless of whether I sign this release, I am entitled to certain unconditional benefits described in my Employment Agreement. I also understand that I will receive the conditional benefits described in my Employment Agreement after signing the release below.

 

  1. General Release of Claims.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

 

  3. Claims Released Include Age Discrimination and Employment Claims.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Employment Agreement.


  4. Release Covers Claims Against Related Parties.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Employment Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Employment Agreement.

 

  9. Opportunity to Consider this Release; Consultation with Attorney.

I have read this release and fully understand its terms. I have been offered at least 21 days to consider its terms. I have been (and am again hereby) advised in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this release.


  10. Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

 

  11. Partial Invalidity of Release.

If any part of this release is held to be unenforceable, invalid or void, then the balance of this release shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

  12. Headings.

The headings and subheadings in this release are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not to be used in construing the release.

 

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

 

  14. Relationship of Severance Benefits to My Rights Under Other Benefit Plans.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.


  17. 7-Day Revocation Period.

I understand that I have a period of 7 calendar days following the date I deliver a signed copy of this release to the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer to revoke this release. This release and my entitlement to severance pay will be binding and effective upon the expiration of this 7-day period if I do not revoke, but not before.

 

  18. Non-disparagement.

I agree not to make disparaging remarks about Metavante, or its products, services, or practices. Metavante Technologies agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause members of its Executive Committee and Board of Directors not to make disparaging remarks about me.

 

  19. Other Employment at Metavante Results in Loss of Severance Benefits.

I agree that while receiving Metavante severance pay and benefits, I may not work at Metavante as an employee, contractor, consultant, or through an employment agency. If I return to Metavante through such an agreement, my conditional severance pay and benefits will be terminated.

 

  20. No Re-Application.

I agree not to re-apply for employment at or otherwise work at Metavante.

Confidentiality

During the performance of my duties, I recognize that I will come into contact with Confidential Information. I agree that this information is to be used solely in connection with the performance of my authorized job functions and will not otherwise be disclosed either during or after my employment with Metavante for so long as such information is of economic value to Metavante and would be useful to a competitor in competing against Metavante.

I agree I will keep complete records of all such Creations. I agree to sign and deliver any and all lawful applications, assignments, and any other documents which Metavante requests for protecting the Creations in the United States and any other country. I also agree to cooperate fully with Metavante at Metavante’s expense, in the preparation and prosecution of all such applications and in any legal actions and proceedings concerning the Creations.

Metavante acknowledges that the previous paragraph in this section does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of Metavante was used and which was developed entirely on my own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of Metavante or (ii) to Metavante actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (b) the invention results from any work performed by me for Metavante.

I further agree that any equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, databases, correspondence, recordings, stored data, software, or any other physical items (including copies and duplicates) that Metavante provides to me or that I generate or develop while employed by Metavante and that relate directly or indirectly to Metavante’s business remain the property of Metavante and I will promptly deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Metavante upon termination of employment.

I also agree that I will not reveal to Metavante or use while employed by Metavante any confidential information of any other party to the extent I am obligated to retain such information in confidence.

Company Equipment and Resources

I further understand that all computer resources are the property of Metavante and may not be used for personal or non-business purposes.

Assignability

I agree that Metavante’s rights under this Agreement are fully assignable by Metavante and will inure to the benefit of Metavante’s successors and assigns.

Exhibit 10.3

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of the 1st day of November, 2007 by and between METAVANTE HOLDING COMPANY (to be renamed METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) (“Metavante Technologies”), a Wisconsin corporation, and MICHAEL D. HAYFORD (the “Executive”).

PREMISES

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) between Metavante Corporation, Metavante Technologies, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation and New M&I Corporation, a Wisconsin Corporation, dated April 3, 2007, Metavante Technologies will become a separate public company and will become the parent of Metavante Corporation.

Metavante Technologies wishes to assure itself of the services of the Executive for the period after the date the separation (the “Separation”) of Metavante Technologies into a separate public company is effective (the “Effective Date”) and the Executive is willing to be employed by Metavante Technologies upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement following the Effective Date.

AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is mutually acknowledged, Metavante Technologies and the Executive (individually, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) agree as follows:

1. Employment. Metavante Technologies hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve Metavante Technologies, on the terms and conditions set forth herein from and after the Effective Date. If the Separation does not occur on or prior to April 4, 2008 this Agreement shall be null and void.

2. Term. Except as provided below, the term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third anniversary of the Effective Date unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 10 below (the “Initial Term of Employment”). If neither party has (a) terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 below, or (b) given notice not less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term of Employment or any Renewal Term of its intention not to renew the term of this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement shall continue for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) after the end of the Initial Term of Employment and each Renewal Term (such Renewal Terms together with the Initial Term of Employment, the “Term of Employment”). The Term of Employment shall automatically end upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. Upon the Executive’s termination of employment with Metavante Technologies for any reason, he shall immediately resign all offices and positions (including directorships) with Metavante Technologies or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliates”).


3. Position and Duties.

(a) The Executive shall serve as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Metavante Technologies, and shall perform all duties customarily attendant to such position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Chief Executive Officer of Metavante Technologies, in each case, in accordance with company policy as set forth from time to time by the Board and subject to the terms hereof. At the request of Metavante Technologies, Executive will also serve as an officer and/or member of the board of directors of any Affiliate, without additional compensation.

(b) The Executive agrees to devote all of his business attention and time to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder during the Term of Employment and to use his reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully, effectively and efficiently his responsibilities and obligations hereunder, provided that if such service and activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities hereunder or the conduct of the ordinary course of the business of Metavante Technologies or its Affiliates, the Executive may take reasonable amounts of time to engage in additional activities in connection with personal investments and community activities, and may serve as a member of the board of directors of up to two public companies which do not compete with Metavante Technologies, provided that such service on any particular board of directors shall be subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

4. Base Salary. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall receive from Metavante Technologies a base salary at an annual rate of Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000) per year (such annual rate of compensation, as it may be increased from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Metavante Technologies. Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review for increase by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) during the Term of Employment.

5. Annual Bonus. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”). With respect to fiscal year 2008 and subsequent fiscal years, Executive’s target Annual Bonus will be equal to 90% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”) with the actual Annual Bonus equal to between 0% and 180% of Executive’s Base Salary based on actual performance. The Annual Bonus shall be determined and awarded in the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on the achievement of performance objectives for the applicable year. Unless the Executive is employed on the applicable payment date for annual bonuses, the Executive will not be entitled to receive the Annual Bonus for the applicable year (subject to Section 10 of this Agreement).

6. Long Term Incentive Compensation. Any Metavante Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan awards previously granted to Executive shall continue in effect in accordance with the terms of such Plan and awards, modified as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement between Metavante Technologies, Metavante Corporation, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and New M&I Corporation dated April 3, 2007, as amended (the “Employee Matters Agreement”). For 2008 and subsequent years, Executive will be eligible to participate

 

2


in any long term incentive compensation plans established for the senior executive officers of Metavante Technologies; provided however, that Metavante Technologies shall be under no obligation to establish such a plan.

7. Equity Compensation. Options with respect to Marshall & Ilsley Corporation held by Executive prior to the Separation shall be converted at the time of the Separation into options with respect to Metavante Technologies granted under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Metavante Equity Incentive Plan”) in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, Executive will also receive a grant of options with respect to 575,000 shares of Metavante Technologies common stock from the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan shortly following the Separation, and such options will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan for 2008 and subsequent years, with future awards, if any, determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee consistent with the terms of the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan.

8. Perquisites and Expense Reimbursement. Executive shall receive such perquisites as are provided by Metavante Technologies to its senior executive officers. Metavante Technologies shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services under this Agreement in accordance with Metavante Technologies’ expense reimbursement policy, upon submission of such accounts and records as may be required under Metavante Technologies policy.

9. Benefit Plans and Programs.

(a) Benefit Plans. Executive shall generally be eligible to participate in all qualified and nonqualified retirement plans and all health and welfare benefit plans as are made generally available for the participation of senior executives of Metavante Technologies (“Benefit Plans”), in accordance with the respective terms of such Benefit Plans.

(b) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation from his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the vacation policy of Metavante Technologies for senior executives of Metavante Technologies.

(c) Retiree Health. Notwithstanding whether Separation occurs on or prior to April 4, 2008 and Section 21 hereof, upon termination of employment at any time for any reason other than Cause, Executive shall be entitled to access to retiree health coverage from Metavante Technologies, if any, on the same terms and conditions as if Executive had satisfied the minimum age and service conditions for such coverage as of the Effective Date, provided however, that Executive shall pay the entire premium (including any administrative costs) for such coverage unless Executive qualifies for a subsidy based on his actual age and actual service with Metavante Technologies, it being understood that this Section 9(c) shall cease to apply in the event that Metavante Technologies no longer provides such coverage.

10. Termination of Employment.

(a) Termination of Employment. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Executive’s death or Disability, (ii) the date set forth in a written

 

3


notice by the Executive to Metavante Technologies that the Executive is terminating Executive’s employment, or (iii) such date as set forth in a written notice by Metavante Technologies to Executive that Metavante Technologies is terminating Executive’s employment (whether for Cause or without Cause).

(b) Definitions.

(i) “Cause” shall mean:

(A) the Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime (except for misdemeanors which are not materially injurious to, or to the business reputation of, Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate);

(B) Executive’s willful refusal to perform in any material respect the Executive’s duties and responsibilities for Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate or failure of the Executive to comply in any material respect with the polices and procedures of Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate at which Executive serves as an officer and/or director;

(C) fraud or other illegal conduct in the Executive’s performance of duties for Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate; or

(D) any conduct by the Executive which is materially injurious to Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate or materially injurious to the business reputation of Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate.

Prior to termination of the Executive for Cause pursuant to Sections 10(b)(i)(B), 10(b)(i)(C) or 10(b)(i)(D) of this Agreement, the Executive will be provided with written notice from Metavante Technologies describing in detail the conduct forming the basis for the alleged Cause and to the extent curable, a reasonable opportunity (of not less than 10 days) to cure such conduct before the Company may terminate for Cause. Any termination for “Cause” will not limit any other right or remedy Metavante Technologies may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(ii) “Good Reason” shall mean:

(A) any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus;

(B) the relocation of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed to a location which is more than 30 miles from the location of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed as of the Effective Date (provided, that travel in the ordinary course of performing Executive’s duties hereunder shall not be deemed to be a relocation of the office at which the Executive is principally employed);

(C) a material diminution of the Executive’s title from his title on the Effective Date;

(D) if Executive is or becomes a Director of Metavante Technologies, removal of the Executive as such a Director or failure to re-elect Executive as such a Director;

(G) Metavante Technologies’ non-renewal of the Term of Employment as provided for in Section 2 of this Agreement; or

(H) A material breach of a material provision of this Agreement by Metavante Technologies.

Prior to the Executive’s termination for Good Reason, Executive will provide Metavante Technologies with written notice describing in detail the conduct forming the basis for the alleged Good Reason and Metavante Technologies shall have a reasonable period (of not less than 10 days) to cure such conduct before Executive may terminate for Good Reason. Any termination for “Good Reason” will not limit any other right or remedy Executive may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Termination due to Disability, Termination by Metavante Technologies for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability, or if Executive’s employment is terminated by Metavante Technologies for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Executive, or his estate or designated beneficiaries, shall be entitled to receive only:

(i) any Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the date of Executive’s death, Disability or termination;

(ii) reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement of any business expense incurred by the Executive but not yet reimbursed; and

(iii) other benefits accrued and earned (including unused vacation) by the Executive through the date of Executive’s Disability or termination in accordance with applicable plans and programs of Metavante Technologies.

For purposes of this Agreement “Disability” shall mean the absence of Executive from Executive’s duties on a full-time basis for at least 90 out of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by Metavante Technologies or its insurers and acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that if the Parties are unable to agree, the Parties shall request the Dean of the Medical College of Wisconsin to choose such physician. If Metavante Technologies determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term of Employment, it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 24 of

 

5


this Agreement of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Executive, provided that, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties.

(d) Termination by Metavante Technologies without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason. If, during the Term of Employment, the Executive’s employment is terminated by Metavante Technologies without Cause, or by the Executive with Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only:

(i) any payments and benefits described in Section 10(c)(i) through 10(c)(iii) above, as well as any accrued but unpaid annual bonuses for fiscal years already completed;

(ii) as a severance payment, a lump sum cash payment payable six (6) months after Executive’s termination equal to the product of (A) two multiplied by (B) the sum of: (I) Executive’s annual Base Salary at the time of the Executive’s termination and (II) Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the year of the Executive’s termination;

(iii) The pro rata portion of Executive’s Annual Bonus which would have been paid to Executive for the year of termination based on actual performance as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee (which determination shall be made on a basis consistent with those determinations made for then-current members of the Executive Committee of Metavante Technologies), payable at such time as annual bonuses are otherwise paid to active employees of Metavante Technologies.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, accelerated vesting in all time-based vesting awards under the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan that would have become vested within one (1) year of Executive’s termination;

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, to the extent that Executive’s termination occurs within one year prior to the conclusion of a performance-based vesting cycle for a performance-based award under the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, such award shall remain eligible for vesting based on actual performance (determined at the end of such cycle), provided that such eligibility for vesting shall be limited to a pro-rated portion of such award (based on Executive’s period of service during the applicable performance period);

(vi) Continuation of benefits under all plans which are welfare benefit plans for a period of 24 months, provided however that if Executive obtains subsequent employment providing welfare benefits, Metavante Technologies’ obligation to provide welfare benefits shall cease; and

(vii) Outplacement services from a provider selected by Executive at a cost to Metavante Technologies which shall not exceed $25,000.

 

6


(e) Termination Due to Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that Metavante Technologies shall provide any payments described in Section 10(c)(i) through Section 10(c)(iii) above with such payments being made to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of death. In addition, Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, shall receive six months of Annual Base Salary which shall be paid on a monthly basis over the six month period following the month of the Executive’s death. In addition, “other benefits” shall be provided following the Executive’s death which shall be benefits for Executive’s family at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by Metavante Technologies to surviving families of peer executives of Metavante Technologies and its affiliates under such plans, programs, practice and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to such peer executives and their families at any time during the 12 month period ending on the date of the Executive’s death.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 10(c) or (d)(vi) to the contrary, (i) to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 10(d)(vi) or “other benefits” provided pursuant to Section 10(c) during the first six months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six months following termination and shall be reimbursed for the cost of such coverage six months after Executive’s termination; and (ii) severance payments pursuant to Section 10(d) are conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems reasonably necessary for purposes of ensuring its enforceability or to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of any medical benefits coverage pursuant to this Section 10 would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of such coverage and Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall not be reimbursed by Metavante Technologies for doing so.

(g) Nonduplication of Payments. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, provided that once a “Change of Control” has occurred as defined in the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement, this Agreement shall cease to be of any force and effect, and, instead, any payments Executive may be entitled to as a result of termination of employment shall be paid under Executive’s Change of Control Agreement.

(h) 409A. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 409A of the Code, Metavante Technologies and the Executive shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due hereunder is to be made, except as may otherwise be permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

11. Representation and Warranties/Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Acknowledgement by Executive. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the contacts and relationships of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with its customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations are, and have been, established and maintained at great expense and provide Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with a substantial competitive advantage in conducting their business. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of the Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies, the Executive will have unique and extensive exposure to and personal contact with customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates, and that Executive will be able to establish a unique relationship with those persons that will enable Executive, both during and after employment, to unfairly compete with Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates markets and sells products and services to customers throughout the United States and in Canada, that Executive’s job duties will include the entire United States and Canada and could be expanded to cover other markets outside the United States and Canada, and that the Confidential Information (as defined in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement) of Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates and Executive’s customer knowledge and relationships would be of value to a competitor in competing against Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates anywhere in the United States and in Canada and in any other markets outside the United States and Canada into which Metavante Technologies and/or one of its Affiliates may expand its activities. Furthermore, the Parties agree that the terms and conditions of the following restrictive covenants are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business, trade secrets and Confidential Information of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates and to prevent great damage or loss to Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates as a result of action taken by the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the consideration provided for herein is sufficient to fully and adequately compensate the Executive for agreeing to such restrictions.

(b) Non-Competition. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not (i) in any capacity, directly or indirectly, participate in, provide assistance to, or have a financial or other interest in any activity or other enterprise which competes with Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates or (ii). accept employment with, or consult with, or otherwise provide any services to, any person or entity (including one in which Executive has an ownership interest) that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates in any capacity in any portion of the Territory, as defined herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 11(b) for the Executive to join a commercial enterprise with multiple divisions or business lines if the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates provides less than 5% of such commercial enterprise’s net revenues and sales for its most recently completed fiscal year, and the Executive has no direct involvement with (including oversight), and performs no functions on behalf of the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its

 

8


Affiliates. The passive ownership of less than a 5% interest in a corporation whose shares are traded in a recognized stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, even though that corporation may be a competitor of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates, shall not be deemed to violate the restriction in the immediately preceding sentence. “Territory” shall be limited to the United States and Canada and unless Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, at the time of termination of Executive’s employment, is selling and marketing its products and/or services in markets outside the United States and Canada and Executive’s job duties involve any of those markets, in which case “Territory” shall include the United States and Canada plus any other geographic market with respect to which Executive has job duties as of the date of termination of employment with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates. If Executive is considering taking a position to work for, or consult with, a person or entity that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, and Executive provides the details of the position, then within fourteen (14) days of receipt of all necessary information, Metavante Technologies will advise Executive whether it considers that position to be a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to leave Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Metavante Technologies or any such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand, (ii) hire any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate until twelve (12) months after such individual’s relationship with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate has been terminated or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer (whether former or current), supplier, licensee or other business relation of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to cease doing business with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, on the other hand.

12. Return of Property. All equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, data bases, correspondence, recordings, stored data (including data or files that exist on any personal computer), software, and any other physical items, including copies and duplicates, that Executive generates or develops or which come into Executive’s possession or control during employment with Metavante Technologies, whether of a public nature or not, shall be and remain the property of Metavante Technologies, and Executive shall deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Metavante Technologies upon termination of employment.

13. Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement. As a condition of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall execute and deliver to Metavante Technologies on the date hereof an Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the extent that Executive does not already have such an agreement in effect covering Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies.

14. Common and Statutory Law of Torts and Trade Secrets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate the common or statutory law of torts or trade secrets where it provides the Executive or Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates broader protection than that provided herein.

15. Specific Performance. The Executive re-affirms Section 11(a) and further acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Sections 11, 12 and 13: (i) are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, (ii) are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, (iii) impose no undue hardship on the Executive and (iv) are not injurious to the public. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to Metavante Technologies may result in the event the Executive breaches any covenant or agreement contained in Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement and that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. Therefore, if the Executive engages in any act in violation of the provisions of Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement (or threatens to engage in any act in violation of such provisions), the Executive agrees that Metavante Technologies shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law (including money damages) or under this Agreement, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage, in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available to the Metavante Technologies for such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

16. Withholding Taxes. All payments to the Executive or his beneficiary hereunder, including, without limitation, Base Salary and Annual Bonuses, shall be subject to withholding on account of federal, state and local taxes as required by law, and other customary or required deductions. If any payment hereunder is insufficient to provide the amount of such taxes required to be withheld, Metavante Technologies may withhold such taxes from any other payment due the Executive or his beneficiary.

17. Assignability; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, testamentary trustees, devisees, or legatees, by operation of law or otherwise (in the case of the Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of Metavante Technologies under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Metavante Technologies except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to (a) a merger or consolidation in which Metavante Technologies is not the surviving entity or (b) a sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of Metavante Technologies. No obligations of the Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Executive other than by operation of law. No third party shall be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Agreement, except for Affiliates of Metavante Technologies.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, shall be deemed to contain the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any other prior agreements, negotiations, or commitments, whether written or oral, between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof; and all such other agreements, negotiations, commitments and writings will have no further force or effect, and the Parties to any such other agreement, negotiation, commitment or writing will have no further rights or obligations thereunder.

 

10


19. Amendment. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by both the Executive and an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any provision or policy set forth in any of Metavante Technologies’ employee manuals, handbooks or other written materials, this Agreement shall be deemed to control. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement, including Exhibits A and B, to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies, as the case may be.

20. Severability. Whenever possible each provision and term of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or invalid, then such provision or term will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. If any of the covenants set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement or in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement are held to be unreasonable, illegal, void, unenforceable or against public policy, such covenants shall be considered divisible with respect to duration, matter, and geographic area, and any court so holding shall reduce the duration, matter, and/or geographic area of such covenants, and in such reduced form such covenants shall be enforceable and shall be enforced.

21. Survival. Except in a termination pursuant to Section 1 due to the Separation not occurring on or prior to April 4, 2008 (in which case no rights or obligations survive) the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 9(c) and 10-24 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

22. Directors and Officers Liability Coverage; Indemnification. To the extent that Metavante Technologies obtains coverage under a directors and officers liability insurance policy, the Executive will be entitled to such coverage on a basis that is consistent with that provided to similarly situated officers and directors, as applicable. Metavante Technologies shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for acts taken within the scope of his employment. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Executive seeking indemnification may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Wisconsin, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

 

11


24. Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be deemed given and sufficient if in writing, when personally delivered, or when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight carrier for delivery by overnight mail, or when sent by facsimile actually received by the receiving facsimile machine, in the case of Executive, to:

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

Date Provided to Employee:                     

In order to receive severance benefits under my Employment Agreement with Metavante Technologies, Inc. (my “Employment Agreement”), I understand that I must sign and return this Release to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metavante. I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on                     ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective                     . I understand that regardless of whether I sign this release, I am entitled to certain unconditional benefits described in my Employment Agreement. I also understand that I will receive the conditional benefits described in my Employment Agreement after signing the release below.

 

  1. General Release of Claims.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

 

  3. Claims Released Include Age Discrimination and Employment Claims.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Employment Agreement.


  4. Release Covers Claims Against Related Parties.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Employment Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Employment Agreement.

 

  9. Opportunity to Consider this Release; Consultation with Attorney.

I have read this release and fully understand its terms. I have been offered at least 21 days to consider its terms. I have been (and am again hereby) advised in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this release.


  10. Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

 

  11. Partial Invalidity of Release.

If any part of this release is held to be unenforceable, invalid or void, then the balance of this release shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

  12. Headings.

The headings and subheadings in this release are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not to be used in construing the release.

 

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

 

  14. Relationship of Severance Benefits to My Rights Under Other Benefit Plans.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.


  17. 7-Day Revocation Period.

I understand that I have a period of 7 calendar days following the date I deliver a signed copy of this release to the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer to revoke this release. This release and my entitlement to severance pay will be binding and effective upon the expiration of this 7-day period if I do not revoke, but not before.

 

  18. Non-disparagement.

I agree not to make disparaging remarks about Metavante, or its products, services, or practices. Metavante Technologies agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause members of its Executive Committee and Board of Directors not to make disparaging remarks about me.

 

  19. Other Employment at Metavante Results in Loss of Severance Benefits.

I agree that while receiving Metavante severance pay and benefits, I may not work at Metavante as an employee, contractor, consultant, or through an employment agency. If I return to Metavante through such an agreement, my conditional severance pay and benefits will be terminated.

 

  20. No Re-Application.

I agree not to re-apply for employment at or otherwise work at Metavante.

Exhibit 10.4

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of the 1st day of November, 2007 by and between METAVANTE HOLDING COMPANY (to be renamed METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) (“Metavante Technologies”), a Wisconsin corporation, and FRANK G. D’ANGELO (the “Executive”).

PREMISES

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) between Metavante Corporation, Metavante Technologies, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation and New M&I Corporation, a Wisconsin Corporation, dated April 3, 2007, Metavante Technologies will become a separate public company and will become the parent of Metavante Corporation.

Metavante Technologies wishes to assure itself of the services of the Executive for the period after the date the separation (the “Separation”) of Metavante Technologies into a separate public company is effective (the “Effective Date”) and the Executive is willing to be employed by Metavante Technologies upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement following the Effective Date.

AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is mutually acknowledged, Metavante Technologies and the Executive (individually, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) agree as follows:

1. Employment. Metavante Technologies hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve Metavante Technologies, on the terms and conditions set forth herein from and after the Effective Date. If the Separation does not occur on or prior to April 4, 2008 this Agreement shall be null and void.

2. Term. Except as provided below, the term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the second anniversary of the Effective Date unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 10 below (the “Initial Term of Employment”). If neither party has (a) terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 below, or (b) given notice not less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term of Employment or any Renewal Term of its intention not to renew the term of this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement shall continue for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) after the end of the Initial Term of Employment and each Renewal Term (such Renewal Terms together with the Initial Term of Employment, the “Term of Employment”). The Term of Employment shall automatically end upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. Upon the Executive’s termination of employment with Metavante Technologies for any reason, he shall immediately resign all offices and positions (including directorships) with Metavante Technologies or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliates”).


3. Position and Duties.

(a) The Executive shall serve as a Senior Executive Vice President of Metavante Technologies, and shall perform all duties customarily attendant to such position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or Chief Executive Officer of Metavante Technologies, in each case, in accordance with company policy as set forth from time to time by the Board and subject to the terms hereof. At the request of Metavante Technologies, Executive will also serve as an officer and/or member of the board of directors of any Affiliate, without additional compensation.

(b) The Executive agrees to devote all of his business attention and time to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder during the Term of Employment and to use his reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully, effectively and efficiently his responsibilities and obligations hereunder, provided that if such service and activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities hereunder or the conduct of the ordinary course of the business of Metavante Technologies or its Affiliates, the Executive may take reasonable amounts of time to engage in additional activities in connection with personal investments and community activities, and may serve as a member of the board of directors of up to two public companies which do not compete with Metavante Technologies, provided that such service on any particular board of directors shall be subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

4. Base Salary. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall receive from Metavante Technologies a base salary at an annual rate of Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($425,000) per year (such annual rate of compensation, as it may be increased from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Metavante Technologies. Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review for increase by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) during the Term of Employment.

5. Annual Bonus. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”). With respect to fiscal year 2008 and subsequent fiscal years, Executive’s target Annual Bonus will be equal to 90% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”) with the actual Annual Bonus equal to between 0% and 180% of Executive’s Base Salary based on actual performance. The Annual Bonus shall be determined and awarded in the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on the achievement of performance objectives for the applicable year. Unless the Executive is employed on the applicable payment date for annual bonuses, the Executive will not be entitled to receive the Annual Bonus for the applicable year (subject to Section 10 of this Agreement).

6. Long Term Incentive Compensation. Any Metavante Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan awards previously granted to Executive shall continue in effect in accordance with the terms of such Plan and awards, modified as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement between Metavante Technologies, Metavante Corporation, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and New M&I Corporation dated April 3, 2007, as amended (the “Employee Matters Agreement”). For 2008 and subsequent years, Executive will be eligible to participate in any long term incentive compensation plans established for the senior executive officers of Metavante Technologies; provided however, that Metavante Technologies shall be under no obligation to establish such a plan.

7. Equity Compensation. Options with respect to Marshall & Ilsley Corporation held by Executive prior to the Separation shall be converted at the time of the Separation into options with respect to Metavante Technologies granted under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Metavante Equity Incentive Plan”) in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, Executive will also receive a grant of options with respect to 275,000 shares of Metavante Technologies common stock from the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan shortly following the Separation, and such options will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan for 2008 and subsequent years, with future awards, if any, determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee consistent with the terms of the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan.

8. Perquisites and Expense Reimbursement. Executive shall receive such perquisites as are provided by Metavante Technologies to its senior executive officers. Metavante Technologies shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services under this Agreement in accordance with Metavante Technologies’ expense reimbursement policy, upon submission of such accounts and records as may be required under Metavante Technologies policy.

9. Benefit Plans and Programs.

(a) Benefit Plans. Executive shall generally be eligible to participate in all qualified and nonqualified retirement plans and all health and welfare benefit plans as are made generally available for the participation of senior executives of Metavante Technologies (“Benefit Plans”), in accordance with the respective terms of such Benefit Plans.

(b) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation from his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the vacation policy of Metavante Technologies for senior executives of Metavante Technologies.

(b) Definitions.

(i) “Cause” shall mean:

(A) the Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime (except for misdemeanors which are not materially injurious to, or to the business reputation of, Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate);

(B) Executive’s willful refusal to perform in any material respect the Executive’s duties and responsibilities for Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate or failure of the Executive to comply in any material respect with the polices and procedures of Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate at which Executive serves as an officer and/or director;

(C) fraud or other illegal conduct in the Executive’s performance of duties for Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate; or

(D) any conduct by the Executive which is materially injurious to Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate or materially injurious to the business reputation of Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate.

Prior to termination of the Executive for Cause pursuant to Sections 10(b)(i)(B), 10(b)(i)(C) or 10(b)(i)(D) of this Agreement, the Executive will be provided with written notice from Metavante Technologies describing in detail the conduct forming the basis for the alleged Cause and to the extent curable, a reasonable opportunity (of not less than 10 days) to cure such conduct before the Company may terminate for Cause. Any termination for “Cause” will not limit any other right or remedy Metavante Technologies may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(ii) “Good Reason” shall mean:

(A) any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus;

(B) the relocation of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed to a location which is more than 30 miles from the location of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed as of the Effective Date (provided, that travel in the ordinary course of performing Executive’s duties hereunder shall not be deemed to be a relocation of the office at which the Executive is principally employed);

(C) a material diminution of the Executive’s title from his title on the Effective Date;

(D) if Executive is or becomes a Director of Metavante Technologies, removal of the Executive as such a Director or failure to re-elect Executive as such a Director;

(G) A material breach of a material provision of this Agreement by Metavante Technologies.

Prior to the Executive’s termination for Good Reason, Executive will provide Metavante Technologies with written notice describing in detail the conduct forming the basis for the alleged Good Reason and Metavante Technologies shall have a reasonable period (of not less than 10 days) to cure such conduct before Executive may terminate for Good Reason. Any termination for “Good Reason” will not limit any other right or remedy Executive may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Termination due to Disability, Termination by Metavante Technologies for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability, or if Executive’s employment is terminated by Metavante Technologies for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Executive, or his estate or designated beneficiaries, shall be entitled to receive only:

(i) any Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the date of Executive’s death, Disability or termination;

(ii) reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement of any business expense incurred by the Executive but not yet reimbursed; and

(iii) other benefits accrued and earned (including unused vacation) by the Executive through the date of Executive’s Disability or termination in accordance with applicable plans and programs of Metavante Technologies.

For purposes of this Agreement “Disability” shall mean the absence of Executive from Executive’s duties on a full-time basis for at least 90 out of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by Metavante Technologies or its insurers and acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that if the Parties are unable to agree, the Parties shall request the Dean of the Medical College of Wisconsin to choose such physician. If Metavante Technologies determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term of Employment, it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 24 of this Agreement of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Executive, provided that, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties.

(d) Termination by Metavante Technologies without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason. If, during the Term of Employment, the Executive’s employment is terminated by Metavante Technologies without Cause, or by the Executive with Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only:

(i) any payments and benefits described in Section 10(c)(i) through 10(c)(iii) above, as well as any accrued but unpaid annual bonuses for fiscal years already completed;

 

5


(ii) as a severance payment, a lump sum cash payment payable six (6) months after Executive’s termination equal to the product of (A) two multiplied by (B) the sum of: (I) Executive’s annual Base Salary at the time of the Executive’s termination and (II) Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the year of the Executive’s termination;

(iii) The pro rata portion of Executive’s Annual Bonus which would have been paid to Executive for the year of termination based on actual performance as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee (which determination shall be made on a basis consistent with those determinations made for then-current members of the Executive Committee of Metavante Technologies), payable at such time as annual bonuses are otherwise paid to active employees of Metavante Technologies.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, accelerated vesting in all time-based vesting awards under the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan that would have become vested within one (1) year of Executive’s termination;

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, to the extent that Executive’s termination occurs within one year prior to the conclusion of a performance-based vesting cycle for a performance-based award under the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, such award shall remain eligible for vesting based on actual performance (determined at the end of such cycle), provided that such eligibility for vesting shall be limited to a pro-rated portion of such award (based on Executive’s period of service during the applicable performance period);

(vi) Continuation of benefits under all plans which are welfare benefit plans for a period of 24 months, provided however that if Executive obtains subsequent employment providing welfare benefits, Metavante Technologies’ obligation to provide welfare benefits shall cease; and

(vii) Outplacement services from a provider selected by Executive at a cost to Metavante Technologies which shall not exceed $25,000.

(e) Termination Due to Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that Metavante Technologies shall provide any payments described in Section 10(c)(i) through Section 10(c)(iii) above with such payments being made to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of death. In addition, Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, shall receive six months of Annual Base Salary which shall be paid on a monthly basis over the six month period following the month of the Executive’s death. In

 

6


addition, “other benefits” shall be provided following the Executive’s death which shall be benefits for Executive’s family at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by Metavante Technologies to surviving families of peer executives of Metavante Technologies and its affiliates under such plans, programs, practice and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to such peer executives and their families at any time during the 12 month period ending on the date of the Executive’s death.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 10(c) or (d)(vi) to the contrary, (i) to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 10(d)(vi) or “other benefits” provided pursuant to Section 10(c) during the first six months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six months following termination and shall be reimbursed for the cost of such coverage six months after Executive’s termination; and (ii) severance payments pursuant to Section 10(d) are conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems reasonably necessary for purposes of ensuring its enforceability or to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of any medical benefits coverage pursuant to this Section 10 would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of such coverage and Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall not be reimbursed by Metavante Technologies for doing so.

(g) Nonduplication of Payments. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, provided that once a “Change of Control” has occurred as defined in the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement, this Agreement shall cease to be of any force and effect, and, instead, any payments Executive may be entitled to as a result of termination of employment shall be paid under Executive’s Change of Control Agreement.

(h) 409A. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 409A of the Code, Metavante Technologies and the Executive shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due hereunder is to be made, except as may otherwise be permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

11. Representation and Warranties/Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Acknowledgement by Executive. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the contacts and relationships of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with its customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations are, and have been, established and maintained at great expense and provide Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with a

 

7


substantial competitive advantage in conducting their business. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of the Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies, the Executive will have unique and extensive exposure to and personal contact with customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates, and that Executive will be able to establish a unique relationship with those persons that will enable Executive, both during and after employment, to unfairly compete with Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates markets and sells products and services to customers throughout the United States and in Canada, that Executive’s job duties will include the entire United States and Canada and could be expanded to cover other markets outside the United States and Canada, and that the Confidential Information (as defined in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement) of Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates and Executive’s customer knowledge and relationships would be of value to a competitor in competing against Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates anywhere in the United States and in Canada and in any other markets outside the United States and Canada into which Metavante Technologies and/or one of its Affiliates may expand its activities. Furthermore, the Parties agree that the terms and conditions of the following restrictive covenants are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business, trade secrets and Confidential Information of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates and to prevent great damage or loss to Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates as a result of action taken by the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the consideration provided for herein is sufficient to fully and adequately compensate the Executive for agreeing to such restrictions.

(b) Non-Competition. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not (i) in any capacity, directly or indirectly, participate in, provide assistance to, or have a financial or other interest in any activity or other enterprise which competes with Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates or (ii). accept employment with, or consult with, or otherwise provide any services to, any person or entity (including one in which Executive has an ownership interest) that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates in any capacity in any portion of the Territory, as defined herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 11(b) for the Executive to join a commercial enterprise with multiple divisions or business lines if the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates provides less than 5% of such commercial enterprise’s net revenues and sales for its most recently completed fiscal year, and the Executive has no direct involvement with (including oversight), and performs no functions on behalf of the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates. The passive ownership of less than a 5% interest in a corporation whose shares are traded in a recognized stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, even though that corporation may be a competitor of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates, shall not be deemed to violate the restriction in the immediately preceding sentence. “Territory” shall be limited to the United States and Canada and unless Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, at the time of termination of Executive’s employment, is selling and marketing its products and/or services in markets outside the United States and Canada and Executive’s job duties involve any of those markets, in which case “Territory” shall include the United States and Canada plus any other geographic market with respect to which Executive has job duties as of

 

8


the date of termination of employment with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates. If Executive is considering taking a position to work for, or consult with, a person or entity that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, and Executive provides the details of the position, then within fourteen (14) days of receipt of all necessary information, Metavante Technologies will advise Executive whether it considers that position to be a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to leave Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Metavante Technologies or any such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand, (ii) hire any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate until twelve (12) months after such individual’s relationship with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate has been terminated or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer (whether former or current), supplier, licensee or other business relation of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to cease doing business with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, on the other hand.

12. Return of Property. All equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, data bases, correspondence, recordings, stored data (including data or files that exist on any personal computer), software, and any other physical items, including copies and duplicates, that Executive generates or develops or which come into Executive’s possession or control during employment with Metavante Technologies, whether of a public nature or not, shall be and remain the property of Metavante Technologies, and Executive shall deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Metavante Technologies upon termination of employment.

13. Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement. As a condition of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall execute and deliver to Metavante Technologies on the date hereof an Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the extent that Executive does not already have such an agreement in effect covering Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies.

14. Common and Statutory Law of Torts and Trade Secrets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate the common or statutory law of torts or trade secrets where it provides the Executive or Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates broader protection than that provided herein.

15. Specific Performance. The Executive re-affirms Section 11(a) and further acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Sections 11, 12 and 13: (i) are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, (ii) are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, (iii) impose no undue hardship on the Executive and (iv) are not injurious to the public. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to Metavante Technologies may result in the event the Executive breaches any covenant or agreement

 

9


contained in Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement and that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. Therefore, if the Executive engages in any act in violation of the provisions of Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement (or threatens to engage in any act in violation of such provisions), the Executive agrees that Metavante Technologies shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law (including money damages) or under this Agreement, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage, in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available to the Metavante Technologies for such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

16. Withholding Taxes. All payments to the Executive or his beneficiary hereunder, including, without limitation, Base Salary and Annual Bonuses, shall be subject to withholding on account of federal, state and local taxes as required by law, and other customary or required deductions. If any payment hereunder is insufficient to provide the amount of such taxes required to be withheld, Metavante Technologies may withhold such taxes from any other payment due the Executive or his beneficiary.

17. Assignability; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, testamentary trustees, devisees, or legatees, by operation of law or otherwise (in the case of the Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of Metavante Technologies under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Metavante Technologies except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to (a) a merger or consolidation in which Metavante Technologies is not the surviving entity or (b) a sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of Metavante Technologies. No obligations of the Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Executive other than by operation of law. No third party shall be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Agreement, except for Affiliates of Metavante Technologies.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, shall be deemed to contain the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any other prior agreements, negotiations, or commitments, whether written or oral, between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof; and all such other agreements, negotiations, commitments and writings will have no further force or effect, and the Parties to any such other agreement, negotiation, commitment or writing will have no further rights or obligations thereunder.

19. Amendment. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by both the Executive and an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any provision or policy set forth in any of Metavante Technologies’ employee manuals, handbooks or other written materials, this Agreement shall be deemed to control. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement, including Exhibits A and B, to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies, as the case may be.

 

10


20. Severability. Whenever possible each provision and term of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or invalid, then such provision or term will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. If any of the covenants set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement or in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement are held to be unreasonable, illegal, void, unenforceable or against public policy, such covenants shall be considered divisible with respect to duration, matter, and geographic area, and any court so holding shall reduce the duration, matter, and/or geographic area of such covenants, and in such reduced form such covenants shall be enforceable and shall be enforced.

21. Survival. Except in a termination pursuant to Section 1 due to the Separation not occurring on or prior to April 4, 2008 (in which case no rights or obligations survive) the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 10-24 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

22. Directors and Officers Liability Coverage; Indemnification. To the extent that Metavante Technologies obtains coverage under a directors and officers liability insurance policy, the Executive will be entitled to such coverage on a basis that is consistent with that provided to similarly situated officers and directors, as applicable. Metavante Technologies shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for acts taken within the scope of his employment. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Executive seeking indemnification may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Employment Agreement.


  4. Release Covers Claims Against Related Parties.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Employment Agreement.

These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Employment Agreement.

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

 

  14. Relationship of Severance Benefits to My Rights Under Other Benefit Plans.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.


  17. 7-Day Revocation Period.

I understand that I have a period of 7 calendar days following the date I deliver a signed copy of this release to the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer to revoke this release. This release and my entitlement to severance pay will be binding and effective upon the expiration of this 7-day period if I do not revoke, but not before.

 

  18. Non-disparagement.

I agree not to make disparaging remarks about Metavante, or its products, services, or practices. Metavante Technologies agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause members of its Executive Committee and Board of Directors not to make disparaging remarks about me.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.5

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of the 1st day of November, 2007 by and between METAVANTE HOLDING COMPANY (to be renamed METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) (“Metavante Technologies”), a Wisconsin corporation, and DONALD W. LAYDEN, JR. (the “Executive”).

PREMISES

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) between Metavante Corporation, Metavante Technologies, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation and New M&I Corporation, a Wisconsin Corporation, dated April 3, 2007, Metavante Technologies will become a separate public company and will become the parent of Metavante Corporation.

Metavante Technologies wishes to assure itself of the services of the Executive for the period after the date the separation (the “Separation”) of Metavante Technologies into a separate public company is effective (the “Effective Date”) and the Executive is willing to be employed by Metavante Technologies upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement following the Effective Date.

AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is mutually acknowledged, Metavante Technologies and the Executive (individually, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) agree as follows:

1. Employment. Metavante Technologies hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve Metavante Technologies, on the terms and conditions set forth herein from and after the Effective Date. If the Separation does not occur on or prior to April 4, 2008 this Agreement shall be null and void.

2. Term. Except as provided below, the term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the second anniversary of the Effective Date unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 10 below (the “Initial Term of Employment”). If neither party has (a) terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 below, or (b) given notice not less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term of Employment or any Renewal Term of its intention not to renew the term of this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement shall continue for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) after the end of the Initial Term of Employment and each Renewal Term (such Renewal Terms together with the Initial Term of Employment, the “Term of Employment”). The Term of Employment shall automatically end upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. Upon the Executive’s termination of employment with Metavante Technologies for any reason, he shall immediately resign all offices and positions (including directorships) with Metavante Technologies or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliates”).


3. Position and Duties.

(a) The Executive shall serve as a Senior Executive Vice President of Metavante Technologies, and shall perform all duties customarily attendant to such position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Chief Executive Officer of Metavante Technologies, in each case, in accordance with company policy as set forth from time to time by the Board and subject to the terms hereof. At the request of Metavante Technologies, Executive will also serve as an officer and/or member of the board of directors of any Affiliate, without additional compensation.

(b) The Executive agrees to devote all of his business attention and time to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder during the Term of Employment and to use his reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully, effectively and efficiently his responsibilities and obligations hereunder, provided that if such service and activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities hereunder or the conduct of the ordinary course of the business of Metavante Technologies or its Affiliates, the Executive may take reasonable amounts of time to engage in additional activities in connection with personal investments and community activities, and may serve as a member of the board of directors of up to two public companies which do not compete with Metavante Technologies, provided that such service on any particular board of directors (other than the board of directors of Firstsource Solutions, Ltd., service on which shall be deemed approved) shall be subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

4. Base Salary. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall receive from Metavante Technologies a base salary at an annual rate of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) per year (such annual rate of compensation, as it may be increased from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Metavante Technologies. Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review for increase by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) during the Term of Employment.

5. Annual Bonus. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”). With respect to fiscal year 2008 and subsequent fiscal years, Executive’s target Annual Bonus will be equal to 75% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”) with the actual Annual Bonus equal to between 0% and 150% of Executive’s Base Salary based on actual performance. The Annual Bonus shall be determined and awarded in the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on the achievement of performance objectives for the applicable year. Unless the Executive is employed on the applicable payment date for annual bonuses, the Executive will not be entitled to receive the Annual Bonus for the applicable year (subject to Section 10 of this Agreement).

6. Long Term Incentive Compensation. Any Metavante Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan awards previously granted to Executive shall continue in effect in accordance with the terms of such Plan and awards, modified as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement between Metavante Technologies, Metavante Corporation, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and New M&I Corporation dated April 3, 2007, as amended (the “Employee

 

2


Matters Agreement”). For 2008 and subsequent years, Executive will be eligible to participate in any long term incentive compensation plans established for the senior executive officers of Metavante Technologies; provided however, that Metavante Technologies shall be under no obligation to establish such a plan.

7. Equity Compensation. Options with respect to Marshall & Ilsley Corporation held by Executive prior to the Separation shall be converted at the time of the Separation into options with respect to Metavante Technologies granted under the Metavante 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Metavante Equity Incentive Plan”) in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, Executive will also receive a grant of options with respect to 275,000 shares of Metavante Technologies common stock from the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan shortly following the Separation, and such options will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan for 2008 and subsequent years, with future awards, if any, determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee consistent with the terms of the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan.

8. Perquisites and Expense Reimbursement. Executive shall receive such perquisites as are provided by Metavante Technologies to its senior executive officers. Metavante Technologies shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services under this Agreement in accordance with Metavante Technologies’ expense reimbursement policy, upon submission of such accounts and records as may be required under Metavante Technologies policy.

9. Benefit Plans and Programs.

(a) Benefit Plans. Executive shall generally be eligible to participate in all qualified and nonqualified retirement plans and all health and welfare benefit plans as are made generally available for the participation of senior executives of Metavante Technologies (“Benefit Plans”), in accordance with the respective terms of such Benefit Plans.

(b) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation from his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the vacation policy of Metavante Technologies for senior executives of Metavante Technologies.

(c) Retiree Health. Notwithstanding whether Separation occurs on or prior to April 4, 2008 and Section 21 hereof, upon termination of employment at any time for any reason other than Cause, Executive shall be entitled to access to retiree health coverage from Metavante Technologies, if any, on the same terms and conditions as if Executive had satisfied the minimum age and service conditions for such coverage as of the Effective Date, provided however, that Executive shall pay the entire premium (including any administrative costs) for such coverage unless Executive qualifies for a subsidy based on his actual age and actual service with Metavante Technologies, it being understood that this Section 9(c) shall cease to apply in the event that Metavante Technologies no longer provides such coverage.

10. Termination of Employment.

(a) Termination of Employment. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Executive’s death or Disability, (ii) the date set forth in a written notice by the Executive to Metavante Technologies that the Executive is terminating Executive’s employment, or (iii) such date as set forth in a written notice by Metavante Technologies to Executive that Metavante Technologies is terminating Executive’s employment (whether for Cause or without Cause).

(b) Definitions.

(i) “Cause” shall mean:

(A) the Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime (except for misdemeanors which are not materially injurious to, or to the business reputation of, Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate);

(B) Executive’s willful refusal to perform in any material respect the Executive’s duties and responsibilities for Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate or failure of the Executive to comply in any material respect with the polices and procedures of Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate at which Executive serves as an officer and/or director;

(C) fraud or other illegal conduct in the Executive’s performance of duties for Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate; or

(D) any conduct by the Executive which is materially injurious to Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate or materially injurious to the business reputation of Metavante Technologies or an Affiliate.

Prior to termination of the Executive for Cause pursuant to Sections 10(b)(i)(B), 10(b)(i)(C) or 10(b)(i)(D) of this Agreement, the Executive will be provided with written notice from Metavante Technologies describing in detail the conduct forming the basis for the alleged Cause and to the extent curable, a reasonable opportunity (of not less than 10 days) to cure such conduct before the Company may terminate for Cause. Any termination for “Cause” will not limit any other right or remedy Metavante Technologies may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(ii) “Good Reason” shall mean:

(A) any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus;

(B) the relocation of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed to a location which is more than 30 miles from the location of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed as of the Effective Date (provided, that travel in the ordinary course of performing Executive’s duties hereunder shall not be deemed to be a relocation of the office at which the Executive is principally employed);

(D) if Executive is or becomes a Director of Metavante Technologies, removal of the Executive as such a Director or failure to re-elect Executive as such a Director;

(G) A material breach of a material provision of this Agreement by Metavante Technologies.

Prior to the Executive’s termination for Good Reason, Executive will provide Metavante Technologies with written notice describing in detail the conduct forming the basis for the alleged Good Reason and Metavante Technologies shall have a reasonable period (of not less than 10 days) to cure such conduct before Executive may terminate for Good Reason. Any termination for “Good Reason” will not limit any other right or remedy Executive may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Termination due to Disability, Termination by Metavante Technologies for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability, or if Executive’s employment is terminated by Metavante Technologies for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Executive, or his estate or designated beneficiaries, shall be entitled to receive only:

(i) any Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the date of Executive’s death, Disability or termination;

(ii) reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement of any business expense incurred by the Executive but not yet reimbursed; and

(iii) other benefits accrued and earned (including unused vacation) by the Executive through the date of Executive’s Disability or termination in accordance with applicable plans and programs of Metavante Technologies.

For purposes of this Agreement “Disability” shall mean the absence of Executive from Executive’s duties on a full-time basis for at least 90 out of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by Metavante Technologies or its insurers and acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that if the Parties are unable to agree, the Parties shall request the Dean of the Medical College of Wisconsin to choose such physician. If Metavante Technologies determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term of Employment, it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 24 of

 

5

(d) Termination by Metavante Technologies without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason. If, during the Term of Employment, the Executive’s employment is terminated by Metavante Technologies without Cause, or by the Executive with Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only:

(i) any payments and benefits described in Section 10(c)(i) through 10(c)(iii) above, as well as any accrued but unpaid annual bonuses for fiscal years already completed;

(ii) as a severance payment, a lump sum cash payment payable six (6) months after Executive’s termination equal to the product of (A) two multiplied by (B) the sum of: (I) Executive’s annual Base Salary at the time of the Executive’s termination and (II) Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the year of the Executive’s termination;

(iii) The pro rata portion of Executive’s Annual Bonus which would have been paid to Executive for the year of termination based on actual performance as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee (which determination shall be made on a basis consistent with those determinations made for then-current members of the Executive Committee of Metavante Technologies), payable at such time as annual bonuses are otherwise paid to active employees of Metavante Technologies.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, accelerated vesting in all time-based vesting awards under the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan that would have become vested within one (1) year of Executive’s termination;

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, to the extent that Executive’s termination occurs within one year prior to the conclusion of a performance-based vesting cycle for a performance-based award under the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, such award shall remain eligible for vesting based on actual performance (determined at the end of such cycle), provided that such eligibility for vesting shall be limited to a pro-rated portion of such award (based on Executive’s period of service during the applicable performance period);

(vii) Outplacement services from a provider selected by Executive at a cost to Metavante Technologies which shall not exceed $25,000.

(e) Termination Due to Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of the Executive’s death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that Metavante Technologies shall provide any payments described in Section 10(c)(i) through Section 10(c)(iii) above with such payments being made to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of death. In addition, Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, shall receive six months of Annual Base Salary which shall be paid on a monthly basis over the six month period following the month of the Executive’s death. In addition, “other benefits” shall be provided following the Executive’s death which shall be benefits for Executive’s family at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by Metavante Technologies to surviving families of peer executives of Metavante Technologies and its affiliates under such plans, programs, practice and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to such peer executives and their families at any time during the 12 month period ending on the date of the Executive’s death.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 10(c) or (d)(vi) to the contrary, (i) to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 10(d)(vi) or “other benefits” provided pursuant to Section 10(c) during the first six months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six months following termination and shall be reimbursed for the cost of such coverage six months after Executive’s termination; and (ii) severance payments pursuant to Section 10(d) are conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems reasonably necessary for purposes of ensuring its enforceability or to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of any medical benefits coverage pursuant to this Section 10 would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of such coverage and Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall not be reimbursed by Metavante Technologies for doing so.

(g) Nonduplication of Payments. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, provided that once a “Change of Control” has occurred as defined in the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement, this Agreement shall cease to be of any force and effect, and, instead, any payments Executive may be entitled to as a result of termination of employment shall be paid under Executive’s Change of Control Agreement.

(h) 409A.

11. Representation and Warranties/Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Acknowledgement by Executive. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the contacts and relationships of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with its customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations are, and have been, established and maintained at great expense and provide Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates with a substantial competitive advantage in conducting their business. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of the Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies, the Executive will have unique and extensive exposure to and personal contact with customers, suppliers, licensors and other business relations of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates, and that Executive will be able to establish a unique relationship with those persons that will enable Executive, both during and after employment, to unfairly compete with Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates markets and sells products and services to customers throughout the United States and in Canada, that Executive’s job duties will include the entire United States and Canada and could be expanded to cover other markets outside the United States and Canada, and that the Confidential Information (as defined in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement) of Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates and Executive’s customer knowledge and relationships would be of value to a competitor in competing against Metavante Technologies and/or its Affiliates anywhere in the United States and in Canada and in any other markets outside the United States and Canada into which Metavante Technologies and/or one of its Affiliates may expand its activities. Furthermore, the Parties agree that the terms and conditions of the following restrictive covenants are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business, trade secrets and Confidential Information of Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates and to prevent great damage or loss to Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates as a result of action taken by the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the consideration provided for herein is sufficient to fully and adequately compensate the Executive for agreeing to such restrictions.

(b) Non-Competition. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not (i) in any capacity, directly or indirectly, participate in, provide assistance to, or have a financial or other interest in any activity or other enterprise which competes with Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates or (ii). accept employment with, or consult with, or otherwise provide any services to, any person or entity (including one in which Executive has an ownership interest) that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates in any capacity in any portion of the Territory, as defined herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 11(b) for the Executive to join a commercial enterprise with multiple divisions or business lines if the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates provides less than 5% of such commercial enterprise’s net revenues and sales for its most recently completed fiscal year, and the Executive has no direct involvement with (including oversight), and performs no functions on behalf of the division or business line that is competitive with the businesses of Metavante Technologies or any of its

 

8


Affiliates. The passive ownership of less than a 5% interest in a corporation whose shares are traded in a recognized stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, even though that corporation may be a competitor of Metavante Technologies or any of its Affiliates, shall not be deemed to violate the restriction in the immediately preceding sentence. “Territory” shall be limited to the United States and Canada and unless Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, at the time of termination of Executive’s employment, is selling and marketing its products and/or services in markets outside the United States and Canada and Executive’s job duties involve any of those markets, in which case “Territory” shall include the United States and Canada plus any other geographic market with respect to which Executive has job duties as of the date of termination of employment with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates. If Executive is considering taking a position to work for, or consult with, a person or entity that competes with Metavante Technologies and/or any of its Affiliates, and Executive provides the details of the position, then within fourteen (14) days of receipt of all necessary information, Metavante Technologies will advise Executive whether it considers that position to be a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to leave Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Metavante Technologies or any such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand, (ii) hire any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate until twelve (12) months after such individual’s relationship with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate has been terminated or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer (whether former or current), supplier, licensee or other business relation of Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate to cease doing business with Metavante Technologies or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and Metavante Technologies or any Affiliate, on the other hand.

12. Return of Property. All equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, data bases, correspondence, recordings, stored data (including data or files that exist on any personal computer), software, and any other physical items, including copies and duplicates, that Executive generates or develops or which come into Executive’s possession or control during employment with Metavante Technologies, whether of a public nature or not, shall be and remain the property of Metavante Technologies, and Executive shall deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Metavante Technologies upon termination of employment.

13. Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement. As a condition of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall execute and deliver to Metavante Technologies on the date hereof an Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the extent that Executive does not already have such an agreement in effect covering Executive’s employment with Metavante Technologies.

14. Common and Statutory Law of Torts and Trade Secrets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate the common or statutory law of torts or trade secrets where it provides the Executive or Metavante Technologies and its Affiliates broader protection than that provided herein.

15. Specific Performance. The Executive re-affirms Section 11(a) and further acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Sections 11, 12 and 13: (i) are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, (ii) are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, (iii) impose no undue hardship on the Executive and (iv) are not injurious to the public. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to Metavante Technologies may result in the event the Executive breaches any covenant or agreement contained in Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement and that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. Therefore, if the Executive engages in any act in violation of the provisions of Section 11 or the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement (or threatens to engage in any act in violation of such provisions), the Executive agrees that Metavante Technologies shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law (including money damages) or under this Agreement, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage, in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available to the Metavante Technologies for such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

16. Withholding Taxes. All payments to the Executive or his beneficiary hereunder, including, without limitation, Base Salary and Annual Bonuses, shall be subject to withholding on account of federal, state and local taxes as required by law, and other customary or required deductions. If any payment hereunder is insufficient to provide the amount of such taxes required to be withheld, Metavante Technologies may withhold such taxes from any other payment due the Executive or his beneficiary.

17. Assignability; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, testamentary trustees, devisees, or legatees, by operation of law or otherwise (in the case of the Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of Metavante Technologies under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Metavante Technologies except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to (a) a merger or consolidation in which Metavante Technologies is not the surviving entity or (b) a sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of Metavante Technologies. No obligations of the Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Executive other than by operation of law. No third party shall be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Agreement, except for Affiliates of Metavante Technologies.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s Change of Control Agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, shall be deemed to contain the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any other prior agreements, negotiations, or commitments, whether written or oral, between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof; and all such other agreements, negotiations, commitments and writings will have no further force or effect, and the Parties to any such other agreement, negotiation, commitment or writing will have no further rights or obligations thereunder.

 

10


19. Amendment. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by both the Executive and an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any provision or policy set forth in any of Metavante Technologies’ employee manuals, handbooks or other written materials, this Agreement shall be deemed to control. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement, including Exhibits A and B, to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an authorized officer of Metavante Technologies, as the case may be.

20. Severability. Whenever possible each provision and term of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or invalid, then such provision or term will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. If any of the covenants set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement or in the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement are held to be unreasonable, illegal, void, unenforceable or against public policy, such covenants shall be considered divisible with respect to duration, matter, and geographic area, and any court so holding shall reduce the duration, matter, and/or geographic area of such covenants, and in such reduced form such covenants shall be enforceable and shall be enforced.

21. Survival. Except in a termination pursuant to Section 1 due to the Separation not occurring on or prior to April 4, 2008 (in which case no rights or obligations survive) the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 9(c) and 10-24 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

22. Directors and Officers Liability Coverage; Indemnification. To the extent that Metavante Technologies obtains coverage under a directors and officers liability insurance policy, the Executive will be entitled to such coverage on a basis that is consistent with that provided to similarly situated officers and directors, as applicable. Metavante Technologies shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for acts taken within the scope of his employment. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Executive seeking indemnification may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Wisconsin, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

24. Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be deemed given and sufficient if in writing, when personally delivered, or when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight carrier for delivery by overnight mail, or when sent by facsimile actually received by the receiving facsimile machine, in the case of Executive, to:

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

Date Provided to Employee:                                                              

In order to receive severance benefits under my Employment Agreement with Metavante Technologies, Inc. (my “Employment Agreement”), I understand that I must sign and return this Release to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metavante. I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on                             ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective                     . I understand that regardless of whether I sign this release, I am entitled to certain unconditional benefits described in my Employment Agreement. I also understand that I will receive the conditional benefits described in my Employment Agreement after signing the release below.

 

  1. General Release of Claims.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

 

  3. Claims Released Include Age Discrimination and Employment Claims.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Employment Agreement.


  4. Release Covers Claims Against Related Parties.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Employment Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Employment Agreement.

 

  9. Opportunity to Consider this Release; Consultation with Attorney.

I have read this release and fully understand its terms. I have been offered at least 21 days to consider its terms. I have been (and am again hereby) advised in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this release.


  10. Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

 

  11. Partial Invalidity of Release.

If any part of this release is held to be unenforceable, invalid or void, then the balance of this release shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

  12. Headings.

The headings and subheadings in this release are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not to be used in construing the release.

 

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

 

  14. Relationship of Severance Benefits to My Rights Under Other Benefit Plans.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.


  17. 7-Day Revocation Period.

I understand that I have a period of 7 calendar days following the date I deliver a signed copy of this release to the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer to revoke this release. This release and my entitlement to severance pay will be binding and effective upon the expiration of this 7-day period if I do not revoke, but not before.

 

  18. Non-disparagement.

I agree not to make disparaging remarks about Metavante, or its products, services, or practices. Metavante Technologies agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause members of its Executive Committee and Board of Directors not to make disparaging remarks about me.

 

  19. Other Employment at Metavante Results in Loss of Severance Benefits.

I agree that while receiving Metavante severance pay and benefits, I may not work at Metavante as an employee, contractor, consultant, or through an employment agency. If I return to Metavante through such an agreement, my conditional severance pay and benefits will be terminated.

 

  20. No Re-Application.

I agree not to re-apply for employment at or otherwise work at Metavante.

During the performance of my duties, I recognize that I will come into contact with Confidential Information. I agree that this information is to be used solely in connection with the performance of my authorized job functions and will not otherwise be disclosed either during or after my employment with Metavante for so long as such information is of economic value to Metavante and would be useful to a competitor in competing against Metavante.

Metavante acknowledges that the previous paragraph in this section does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of Metavante was used and which was developed entirely on my own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of Metavante or (ii) to Metavante actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (b) the invention results from any work performed by me for Metavante.

I further agree that any equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, databases, correspondence, recordings, stored data, software, or any other physical items (including copies and duplicates) that Metavante provides to me or that I generate or develop while employed by Metavante and that relate directly or indirectly to Metavante’s business remain the property of Metavante and I will promptly deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Metavante upon termination of employment.

Company Equipment and Resources

I further understand that all computer resources are the property of Metavante and may not be used for personal or non-business purposes.

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 1st day of November, 2007, by and between METAVANTE HOLDING COMPANY (to be renamed METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) (“Metavante Technologies”), and                      (the Executive) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Parties).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by Metavante Technologies or by another Metavante Group Member (as hereafter defined in Section 4); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Metavante Technologies (the Board) recognizes that the possibility of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined in Section 2) exists and that the threat of or the occurrence of a Change of Control can result in significant distractions of certain of its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of Metavante Technologies and its shareholders to retain the services of the Executive in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change of Control and to ensure Executive’s continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for Executive’s personal financial and employment security; and

WHEREAS, Metavante Technologies has determined that Executive should be compensated in the event of a Change of Control if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason during the Term, both as defined below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and adequate consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

1. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement begins on the date a Change of Control occurs and ends on the third anniversary after the date of a Change of Control.

2. Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall mean the first to occur of the following:

(a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (theExchange Act)) other than WPM, L.P., of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of thirty-three percent (33%) or more of either (i) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Metavante Technologies (the Outstanding Metavante Technologies Common Stock), or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of Metavante Technologies entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (theOutstanding Metavante Technologies Voting Securities), provided, however, that the following acquisitions of common stock

Good Reason (solely as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement), Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

For purposes of this definition Control (including the terms “Controlled by” and “under common Control with”) means with respect to any entity, the power to direct the management and policies of such entity, directly or indirectly whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

(b) Annual Base Salary.

Base Salary shall be calculated by including in Base Salary any amounts which were deferred by Executive under the 401(k) plan, the cafeteria plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Metavante Group and any other deferrals that would have increased Executive’s Base Salary if paid in cash when earned.

4


would constitute Cause, and (b) Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of Executive’s counsel if Executive so desires). No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted or failed to act in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Metavante Group.

If Metavante Technologies determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth above), it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement of Metavante Technologies intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with all Metavante Group Members shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties.

(3) Executive’s right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Executive’s continued employment or failure to give Notice of Termination shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(h) Metavante Group Member. Metavante Group Member shall mean a member of the Metavante Group.

6

(k) WPM. WPM means collectively, WPM, L.P., a limited partnership organized by Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (“WPM L.P.”), a global private equity investment fund managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”) and any Affiliates of WPM L.P. or Warburg.

(1) Metavante Technologies (or another Metavante Group Member) shall pay to Executive the aggregate of the following amounts:

(i) A. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid;

B. A lump sum payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Average Bonus or (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any amount deferred, (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve (12) full months or for which Executive has been employed for less than twelve (12) full months) for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the

 

7


Termination Date, if any (such higher amount being referred to as the Highest Annual Bonus) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the current fiscal year through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365); and

C. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s accrued but untaken vacation through the Termination Date.

The sum of the amounts described in Clauses (A) and (B) and (C) shall be hereinafter referred to as the Accrued Obligations;

(ii) A lump sum payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the product of (A) three (3) and (B) the sum of (x) Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (y) Executive’s Highest Annual Bonus;

(iii) A lump-sum supplemental retirement benefit payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the difference between (1) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 417(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Metavante Group’s contribution history with respect to the applicable retirement plan, incentive plans, savings plans and other similar such plans (or any successor plan thereto) (the Retirement Plans) during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control) of the benefit payable under the Retirement Plans and any supplemental and/or excess retirement plan providing benefits for Executive (the SERP) which Executive would receive if Executive’s employment continued for an additional three (3) years after the Termination Date with annual compensation equal to the sum of the Annual Base Salary and Highest Annual Bonus, assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits and contributions are fully vested and that benefit accrual formulas and the Metavante Group’s contributions are no less advantageous to Executive than those in effect during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, and (2) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 417(e)(3) of the Code) of Executive’s actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plans and the SERP; and

8


car provided to Executive, if any, for the last calendar year ending before the date of a Change of Control and (y) the club dues for Executive paid by the Metavante Group attributable to such year, if any.

(2) For thirty-six (36) months after the Termination Date, the Metavante Group shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s family in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Metavante Group applicable generally to other peer executives who are active employees and their families as in effect from time to time thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other benefits provided by the Metavante Group shall be secondary to those provided under the plan(s) of the other employer, but the aggregate coverage of the combined benefit plans of the Metavante Group and other employer shall in no event, be less favorable to Executive, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to him, than the Metavante Group coverage required hereunder. At the end of such thirty-six (36) month period, the Metavante Group shall provide to Executive and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependants, for life, retiree health insurance, subsidized to at least the same percentage extent as under Metavante’s retiree health plan as in existence on the date of the Change of Control. Such retiree health plan shall provide medical benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s spouse in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Metavante Group applicable generally to other peer executives who are active employees and their spouses as in effect from time to time thereafter; provided, however, that if Executive and/or Executive’s spouse or eligible dependants qualifies for coverage by Medicare or any successor program, the Metavante Group may require that Executive and/or Executive’s spouse or eligible dependants fully participate in Medicare and pay the premiums therefor personally.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding non-performance based stock option granted to the Executive shall automatically become fully and immediately vested.

(4) Executive shall have the right to purchase the car provided to him by the Metavante Group during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, if applicable, (or a comparable car acceptable to Executive if such car is no longer owned by the Metavante Group), at the fair market value thereof on the Termination Date, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; and if the car is not purchased, Executive shall return the car.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 6(a) (other than the Accrued Obligations) shall

 

9


not be paid or provided to Executive unless and until he executes a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

(b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations, six (6) months of Annual Base Salary, and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date. The six (6) months of Annual Base Salary shall be paid during the six (6) month period following the Termination Date on a monthly basis. The term Other Benefits as used in this Section 6(b) shall mean, and Executive’s family shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Metavante Group to surviving families of peer executives of the Metavante Group and under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect on the date of Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group and their families.

(c) Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive at the same times as specified in Section 6(a)(i). The term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 6(c) shall include, and Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Metavante Group to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group.

(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Term, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Term for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than the obligation to pay to Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination and any other amounts earned or accrued through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid; provided that if Executive voluntarily terminates, Executive shall receive the benefits normally provided upon normal or early retirement with respect to other peer executives and their families to the extent he qualifies for such benefits. All salary or compensation hereunder shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

 

10


(e) Delinquent Payments. If any of the payments referred to in this Section 6 are not paid within the time specified after the Termination Date (hereinafter a Delinquent Payment), in addition to such principal sum, Metavante Technologies will pay to Executive interest on all such Delinquent Payments computed at the prime rate as announced from time to time by M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, or its successor, compounded monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest shall be due and owing for payments which are delayed because of Executive’s failure to execute the Separation Agreement and Release or the rescission thereof.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) or other benefits pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c) during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination and shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for the cost of such coverage six (6) months after Executive’s termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of the medical and dental benefits coverage described herein would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of all such coverage and neither Executive nor his survivors, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for doing so.

7. No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced (except to the extent set forth in Section 6(a)(2)) whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

8. Excise Tax Payments.

(a) If any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member (a Payment or Payments), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a Gross-Up Payment) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains, or has paid to the taxing authority on Executive’s behalf, an

 

11


amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Gross-Up Payment will be made to Executive if reducing the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax.

(b) A determination shall be made as to whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Section 8 and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, such determination to be made fifteen (15) business days after the Termination Date, or such other time as reasonably requested by Metavante Technologies or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). Such determination shall be made by a national independent accounting firm selected by Executive (the Accounting Firm). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the cost of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as they become due. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations, acceptable to Executive, both to Metavante Technologies and Executive. The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be paid by Metavante Technologies to Executive or paid by Metavante Technologies on behalf of Executive to the applicable government taxing authorities by means of payroll tax withholding if required by law or if timely requested by Executive when payment of all or any portion of the Excise Tax is due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an unqualified opinion that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Any such initial determination by the Accounting Firm of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon Metavante Technologies and Executive subject to the application of Section 9(c).

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an Overpayment) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an Underpayment). An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon notice (formal or informal) to Executive from any governmental taxing authority that the tax liability of Executive (whether in respect of the then current taxable year of Executive or in respect of any prior taxable year of Executive) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which Metavante Technologies has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment. An Overpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments with respect to which Executive had previously received a Gross-Up Payment. Final Determination shall be deemed to have occurred when Executive has received from the applicable governmental taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Executive’s tax liability by reason of the Overpayment and upon either (i) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Executive and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been

 

12


taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired, or (ii) the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to Executive’s applicable tax return. If an Underpayment occurs, Executive shall promptly notify Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay to Executive at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which the applicable governmental taxing authority has requested payment, an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties imposed on the Underpayment. If an Overpayment occurs, the amount of the Overpayment shall be treated as a loan by Metavante Technologies to Executive and Executive shall, within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of such Overpayment, pay to Metavante Technologies the amount of the Overpayment plus interest at an annual rate equal to the rate provided for in Section 1274(b)(2)(E) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which the Overpayment relates) was paid to Executive.

(d) If no Gross-Up Payment is made because reducing the Payments to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax, then the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount necessary to avoid the Excise Tax; provided, however, the reduction will only be made if doing so would result in Executive retaining more after-tax than if the reduction were not made.

9. Unauthorized Disclosure. During the term of Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member, and during the two (2) year period following the Termination Date, Executive shall not make any Unauthorized Disclosure. For purposes of this Agreement, Unauthorized Disclosure shall mean disclosure by Executive without the consent of the Board to any person, other than an employee of a Metavante Group Member or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an executive of a Metavante Group Member or as may be legally required, of any confidential information obtained by Executive while in the employ of a Metavante Group Member (including, but not limited to, any confidential information with respect to any of Metavante Group’s customers or methods of operation) the disclosure of which he knows or has reason to believe will be materially injurious to the Metavante Group; provided, however, that the term “Unauthorized Disclosure” shall not include the use or disclosure by Executive, without consent, of any information known generally to the public (other than as a result of disclosure by him in violation of this Section 9) or any information not otherwise considered confidential by a reasonable person engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Metavante Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s obligation hereunder not to make any Unauthorized Disclosure shall continue after the end of the two-year period following Executive’s termination of employment with the Metavante Group as regards any information which is a trade secret as defined in Section 134.90 of the Wisconsin Statutes. In no event shall an asserted violation of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement.

10. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Metavante Technologies, its successors and assigns and Metavante Technologies shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,

 

13


consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Metavante Technologies would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representative.

11. Legal Fees and Expenses. Metavante Technologies, or a successor entity, shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably incurred by Executive as they become due as a result of (i) Executive’s hearing before the Board as contemplated in Section 4(d) of this Agreement, (ii) a dispute between Executive and the Internal Revenue Service (or any other taxing authority) with regard to an Underpayment (as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement), or (iii) Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or by any other plan or arrangement maintained by a Metavante Group Member or an Affiliate under which Executive is or may be entitled to receive benefits.

12. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement (including the Notice of Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, if to Metavante Technologies, Inc., 4900 West Brown Deer Road, Brown Deer, Wisconsin 53223, Attn: Chief Administrative Officer or if to Executive, to the address set forth below Executive’s signature, or to such other address as the party may be notified. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third (3rd) business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

13. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Metavante Group for which Executive may qualify. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Metavante Group shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

14. Settlement of Claims. Metavante Technologies’ obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which a Metavante Group Member may have against Executive or others.

15. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and Metavante Technologies. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this

In order to receive severance benefits under my Change of Control Agreement with Metavante Technologies, Inc. (my “Change of Control Agreement”), I understand that I must sign and return this Release to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metavante. I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on             ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective             . I understand that regardless of whether I sign this release, I am entitled to certain unconditional benefits described in my Change of Control Agreement. I also understand that I will receive the conditional benefits described in my Change of Control Agreement after signing the release below.

 

  1. General Release of Claims.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

 

  3. Claims Released Include Age Discrimination and Employment Claims.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Change of Control Agreement.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Change of Control Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Change of Control Agreement.

  10. Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

 

  11. Partial Invalidity of Release.

If any part of this release is held to be unenforceable, invalid or void, then the balance of this release shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

  12. Headings.

The headings and subheadings in this release are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not to be used in construing the release.

 

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

 

  14. Relationship of Severance Benefits to My Rights Under Other Benefit Plans.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to

anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.

 

  17. 7-Day Revocation Period.

I understand that I have a period of 7 calendar days following the date I deliver a signed copy of this release to Metavante Technologies’ Chief Administrative Officer to revoke this release. This release and my entitlement to severance pay will be binding and effective upon the expiration of this 7-day period if I do not revoke, but not before.

 

  18. Non-disparagement.

I agree not to make disparaging remarks about Metavante, or its products, services, or practices. Metavante Technologies agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause members of its Executive Committee and Board of Directors not to make disparaging remarks about me.

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by Metavante Technologies or by another Metavante Group Member (as hereafter defined in Section 4); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Metavante Technologies (the Board) recognizes that the possibility of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined in Section 2) exists and that the threat of or the occurrence of a Change of Control can result in significant distractions of certain of its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of Metavante Technologies and its shareholders to retain the services of the Executive in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change of Control and to ensure Executive’s continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for Executive’s personal financial and employment security; and

WHEREAS, Metavante Technologies has determined that Executive should be compensated in the event of a Change of Control if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason during the Term, both as defined below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and adequate consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

3


Good Reason (solely as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement), Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

4. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings described hereunder:

(a) Affiliate. Affiliate means, with respect to Metavante Technologies or Metavante Corporation, any other entity which directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with Metavante Technologies or Metavante Corporation and with respect to WPM, L.P. and Warburg means any other entity which directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under Common Control with WPM, L.P. or Warburg, as applicable. For purposes of this definition Control (including the terms “Controlled by” and “under common Control with”) means with respect to any entity, the power to direct the management and policies of such entity, directly or indirectly whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

(b) Annual Base Salary. Annual Base Salary shall mean the greater of (i) the base salary (Base Salary) paid or payable to Executive by Metavante Group Members in respect of the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the month in which the date of a Change of Control occurs, or (ii) Executive’s Base Salary on the Termination Date. Base Salary shall be calculated by including in Base Salary any amounts which were deferred by Executive under the 401(k) plan, the cafeteria plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Metavante Group and any other deferrals that would have increased Executive’s Base Salary if paid in cash when earned.

(c) Annual Bonus. Annual Bonus shall mean the annual bonus, if any, awarded (including amounts that were deferred) to Executive in the last fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the termination occurs.

(d) Cause. Cause shall mean a termination evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by a majority of the Board that Executive (i) willfully, deliberately and continually failed to substantially perform Executive’s duties (other than a failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which failure constitutes gross misconduct, and results in and was intended to result in demonstrable material injury to a member of the Metavante Group, monetary or otherwise, or (ii) committed acts of fraud and dishonesty constituting a felony, as determined by a final judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and resulting or intended to result in gain to or personal enrichment of Executive at the expense of a Metavante Group Member, provided, however, that no termination of Executive’s employment shall be for Cause until (a) Executive shall have had at least sixty (60) days to cure any conduct or act alleged to provide Cause for termination after a written notice of demand has been delivered to Executive specifying in detail the manner in which Executive’s conduct

 

4


would constitute Cause, and (b) Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of Executive’s counsel if Executive so desires). No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted or failed to act in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Metavante Group. During the 60-day cure period, Executive may be put on paid administrative leave by the management of Metavante Technologies.

(e) Disability. Disability shall mean the absence of Executive from Executive’s duties with the Metavante Group Member which employs Executive on a full-time basis for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by Metavante Technologies or its insurers and acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative, provided if the Parties are unable to agree, the Parties shall request the Dean of the Medical College of Wisconsin to choose such physician. If Metavante Technologies determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth above), it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement of Metavante Technologies intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with all Metavante Group Members shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties.

(3) Executive’s right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Executive’s continued employment or failure to give Notice of Termination shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(h) Metavante Group Member. Metavante Group Member shall mean a member of the Metavante Group.

(k) WPM. WPM means collectively, WPM, L.P., a limited partnership organized by Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (“WPM L.P.”), a global private equity investment fund managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”) and any Affiliates of WPM L.P. or Warburg.

(i) A. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid;

B. A lump sum payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Average Bonus or (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any amount deferred, (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve (12) full months or for which Executive has been employed for less than twelve (12) full months) for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the

 

7


Termination Date, if any (such higher amount being referred to as the Highest Annual Bonus) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the current fiscal year through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365); and

C. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s accrued but untaken vacation through the Termination Date.

The sum of the amounts described in Clauses (A) and (B) and (C) shall be hereinafter referred to as the Accrued Obligations;

(2) For twenty-four (24) months after the Termination Date, the Metavante Group shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s family in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Metavante Group applicable generally to other peer executives who are active employees and their families as in effect from time to time thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other benefits provided by the Metavante Group shall be secondary to those provided under the plan(s) of the other employer, but the aggregate coverage of the combined benefit plans of the Metavante Group and other employer shall in no event, be less favorable to Executive, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to him, than the Metavante Group coverage required hereunder. At the end of such twenty-four (24) month period, the Metavante Group shall provide to Executive and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependants, for life, retiree health insurance, subsidized to at least the same percentage extent as under Metavante’s retiree health plan as in existence on the date of the Change of Control. Such retiree health plan shall provide medical benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s spouse in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Metavante Group applicable generally to other peer executives who are active employees and their spouses as in effect from time to time thereafter; provided, however, that if Executive and/or Executive’s spouse or eligible dependants qualifies for coverage by Medicare or any successor program, the Metavante Group may require that Executive and/or Executive’s spouse or eligible dependants fully participate in Medicare and pay the premiums therefor personally.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding non-performance based stock option granted to the Executive shall automatically become fully and immediately vested.

(4) Executive shall have the right to purchase the car provided to him by the Metavante Group during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, if applicable, (or a comparable car acceptable to Executive if such car is no longer owned by the Metavante Group), at the fair market value thereof on the Termination Date, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; and if the car is not purchased, Executive shall return the car.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 6(a) (other than the Accrued Obligations) shall

not be paid or provided to Executive unless and until he executes a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

(b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations, six (6) months of Annual Base Salary, and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date. The six (6) months of Annual Base Salary shall be paid during the six (6) month period following the Termination Date on a monthly basis. The term Other Benefits as used in this Section 6(b) shall mean, and Executive’s family shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Metavante Group to surviving families of peer executives of the Metavante Group and under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect on the date of Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group and their families.

(c) Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive at the same times as specified in Section 6(a)(i). The term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 6(c) shall include, and Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Metavante Group to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group.

(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Term, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Term for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than the obligation to pay to Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination and any other amounts earned or accrued through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid; provided that if Executive voluntarily terminates, Executive shall receive the benefits normally provided upon normal or early retirement with respect to other peer executives and their families to the extent he qualifies for such benefits. All salary or compensation hereunder shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

 

10


(e) Delinquent Payments. If any of the payments referred to in this Section 6 are not paid within the time specified after the Termination Date (hereinafter a Delinquent Payment), in addition to such principal sum, Metavante Technologies will pay to Executive interest on all such Delinquent Payments computed at the prime rate as announced from time to time by M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, or its successor, compounded monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest shall be due and owing for payments which are delayed because of Executive’s failure to execute the Separation Agreement and Release or the rescission thereof.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) or other benefits pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c) during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination and shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for the cost of such coverage six (6) months after Executive’s termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of the medical and dental benefits coverage described herein would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of all such coverage and neither Executive nor his survivors, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for doing so.

7. No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced (except to the extent set forth in Section 6(a)(2)) whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

8. Excise Tax Payments.

(a) If any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member (a Payment or Payments), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a Gross-Up Payment) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains, or has paid to the taxing authority on Executive’s behalf, an

 

11


amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Gross-Up Payment will be made to Executive if reducing the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax.

(b) A determination shall be made as to whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Section 8 and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, such determination to be made fifteen (15) business days after the Termination Date, or such other time as reasonably requested by Metavante Technologies or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). Such determination shall be made by a national independent accounting firm selected by Executive (the Accounting Firm). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the cost of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as they become due. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations, acceptable to Executive, both to Metavante Technologies and Executive. The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be paid by Metavante Technologies to Executive or paid by Metavante Technologies on behalf of Executive to the applicable government taxing authorities by means of payroll tax withholding if required by law or if timely requested by Executive when payment of all or any portion of the Excise Tax is due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an unqualified opinion that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Any such initial determination by the Accounting Firm of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon Metavante Technologies and Executive subject to the application of Section 9(c).

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an Overpayment) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an Underpayment). An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon notice (formal or informal) to Executive from any governmental taxing authority that the tax liability of Executive (whether in respect of the then current taxable year of Executive or in respect of any prior taxable year of Executive) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which Metavante Technologies has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment. An Overpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments with respect to which Executive had previously received a Gross-Up Payment. Final Determination shall be deemed to have occurred when Executive has received from the applicable governmental taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Executive’s tax liability by reason of the Overpayment and upon either (i) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Executive and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been

 

12


taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired, or (ii) the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to Executive’s applicable tax return. If an Underpayment occurs, Executive shall promptly notify Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay to Executive at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which the applicable governmental taxing authority has requested payment, an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties imposed on the Underpayment. If an Overpayment occurs, the amount of the Overpayment shall be treated as a loan by Metavante Technologies to Executive and Executive shall, within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of such Overpayment, pay to Metavante Technologies the amount of the Overpayment plus interest at an annual rate equal to the rate provided for in Section 1274(b)(2)(E) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which the Overpayment relates) was paid to Executive.

(d) If no Gross-Up Payment is made because reducing the Payments to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax, then the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount necessary to avoid the Excise Tax; provided, however, the reduction will only be made if doing so would result in Executive retaining more after-tax than if the reduction were not made.

9. Unauthorized Disclosure. During the term of Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member, and during the two (2) year period following the Termination Date, Executive shall not make any Unauthorized Disclosure. For purposes of this Agreement, Unauthorized Disclosure shall mean disclosure by Executive without the consent of the Board to any person, other than an employee of a Metavante Group Member or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an executive of a Metavante Group Member or as may be legally required, of any confidential information obtained by Executive while in the employ of a Metavante Group Member (including, but not limited to, any confidential information with respect to any of Metavante Group’s customers or methods of operation) the disclosure of which he knows or has reason to believe will be materially injurious to the Metavante Group; provided, however, that the term “Unauthorized Disclosure” shall not include the use or disclosure by Executive, without consent, of any information known generally to the public (other than as a result of disclosure by him in violation of this Section 9) or any information not otherwise considered confidential by a reasonable person engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Metavante Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s obligation hereunder not to make any Unauthorized Disclosure shall continue after the end of the two-year period following Executive’s termination of employment with the Metavante Group as regards any information which is a trade secret as defined in Section 134.90 of the Wisconsin Statutes. In no event shall an asserted violation of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement.

10. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Metavante Technologies, its successors and assigns and Metavante Technologies shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,

 

13


consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Metavante Technologies would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representative.

11. Legal Fees and Expenses. Metavante Technologies, or a successor entity, shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably incurred by Executive as they become due as a result of (i) Executive’s hearing before the Board as contemplated in Section 4(d) of this Agreement, (ii) a dispute between Executive and the Internal Revenue Service (or any other taxing authority) with regard to an Underpayment (as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement), or (iii) Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or by any other plan or arrangement maintained by a Metavante Group Member or an Affiliate under which Executive is or may be entitled to receive benefits.

12. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement (including the Notice of Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, if to Metavante Technologies, Inc., 4900 West Brown Deer Road, Brown Deer, Wisconsin 53223, Attn: Chief Administrative Officer or if to Executive, to the address set forth below Executive’s signature, or to such other address as the party may be notified. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third (3rd) business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

13. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Metavante Group for which Executive may qualify. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Metavante Group shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

14. Settlement of Claims. Metavante Technologies’ obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which a Metavante Group Member may have against Executive or others.

15. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and Metavante Technologies. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this

 

14


Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

16. Non-Duplication. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any other Metavante Group Member.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

18. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s employment agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, if any, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

20. Headings. The headings herein contained are for reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

21. Withholding. The Metavante Group shall be entitled to withhold from amounts paid to Executive hereunder any federal, estate or local withholding or other taxes or charges which it is, from time to time, required to withhold.

22. 409A. In order to facilitate compliance with section 409A of the Code, Metavante Technologies and the Executive shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due hereunder is to be made, except as may otherwise be permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on                     ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective                 .

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Change of Control Agreement.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Change of Control Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Change of Control Agreement.

18


  10. Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

 

  11. Partial Invalidity of Release.

If any part of this release is held to be unenforceable, invalid or void, then the balance of this release shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

  12. Headings.

The headings and subheadings in this release are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not to be used in construing the release.

 

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.8

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 1st day of November, 2007, by and between METAVANTE HOLDING COMPANY (to be renamed METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) (“Metavante Technologies”), and                      (the Executive) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Parties).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by Metavante Technologies or by another Metavante Group Member (as hereafter defined in Section 4); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Metavante Technologies (the Board) recognizes that the possibility of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined in Section 2) exists and that the threat of or the occurrence of a Change of Control can result in significant distractions of certain of its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of Metavante Technologies and its shareholders to retain the services of the Executive in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change of Control and to ensure Executive’s continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for Executive’s personal financial and employment security; and

WHEREAS, Metavante Technologies has determined that Executive should be compensated in the event of a Change of Control if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason during the Term, both as defined below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and adequate consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

1. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement begins on the date a Change of Control occurs and ends on the second anniversary after the date of a Change of Control.

(b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Metavante Technologies’ shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened “election contest” or other actual or threatened “solicitation” (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Incumbent Board; or

(b) Annual Base Salary.

Base Salary shall be calculated by including in Base Salary any amounts which were deferred by Executive under the 401(k) plan, the cafeteria plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Metavante Group and any other deferrals that would have increased Executive’s Base Salary if paid in cash when earned.

4


would constitute Cause, and (b) Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of Executive’s counsel if Executive so desires). No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted or failed to act in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Metavante Group.

(3) Executive’s right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Executive’s continued employment or failure to give Notice of Termination shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(k) WPM. WPM means collectively, WPM, L.P., a limited partnership organized by Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (“WPM L.P.”), a global private equity investment fund managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”) and any Affiliates of WPM L.P. or Warburg.

(i) A. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid;

B. A lump sum payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Average Bonus or (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any amount deferred, (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve (12) full months or for which Executive has been employed for less than twelve (12) full months) for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the

Termination Date, if any (such higher amount being referred to as the Highest Annual Bonus) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the current fiscal year through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365); and

C. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s accrued but untaken vacation through the Termination Date.

(iii) A lump-sum supplemental retirement benefit payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the difference between (1) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 417(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Metavante Group’s contribution history with respect to the applicable retirement plan, incentive plans, savings plans and other similar such plans (or any successor plan thereto) (the Retirement Plans) during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control) of the benefit payable under the Retirement Plans and any supplemental and/or excess retirement plan providing benefits for Executive (the SERP) which Executive would receive if Executive’s employment continued for an additional two (2) years after the Termination Date with annual compensation equal to the sum of the Annual Base Salary and Highest Annual Bonus, assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits and contributions are fully vested and that benefit accrual formulas and the Metavante Group’s contributions are no less advantageous to Executive than those in effect during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, and (2) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 417(e)(3) of the Code) of Executive’s actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plans and the SERP; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other benefits provided by the Metavante Group shall be secondary to those provided under the plan(s) of the other employer, but the aggregate coverage of the combined benefit plans of the Metavante Group and other employer shall in no event, be less favorable to Executive, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to him, than the Metavante Group coverage required hereunder.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding non-performance based stock option granted to the Executive shall automatically become fully and immediately vested.

(4) Executive shall have the right to purchase the car provided to him by the Metavante Group during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, if applicable, (or a comparable car acceptable to Executive if such car is no longer owned by the Metavante Group), at the fair market value thereof on the Termination Date, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; and if the car is not purchased, Executive shall return the car.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 6(a) (other than the Accrued Obligations) shall not be paid or provided to Executive unless and until he executes a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

(b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations, six (6) months of Annual Base Salary, and the Other Benefits.

(c) Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations and the Other Benefits.

The term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 6(c) shall include, and Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Metavante Group to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group.

(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Term, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Term for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than the obligation to pay to Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination and any other amounts earned or accrued through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid; provided that if Executive voluntarily terminates, Executive shall receive the benefits normally provided upon normal or early retirement with respect to other peer executives and their families to the extent he qualifies for such benefits. All salary or compensation hereunder shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

(e) Delinquent Payments. If any of the payments referred to in this Section 6 are not paid within the time specified after the Termination Date (hereinafter a Delinquent Payment), in addition to such principal sum, Metavante Technologies will pay to Executive interest on all such Delinquent Payments computed at the prime rate as announced from time to time by M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, or its successor, compounded monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest shall be due and owing for payments which are delayed because of Executive’s failure to execute the Separation Agreement and Release or the rescission thereof.

 

10


(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) or other benefits pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c) during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination and shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for the cost of such coverage six (6) months after Executive’s termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of the medical and dental benefits coverage described herein would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of all such coverage and neither Executive nor his survivors, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for doing so.

7. No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced (except to the extent set forth in Section 6(a)(2)) whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

8. Excise Tax Payments.

(a) If any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member (a Payment or Payments), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a Gross-Up Payment) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains, or has paid to the taxing authority on Executive’s behalf, an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Gross-Up Payment will be made to Executive if reducing the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax.

(b) A determination shall be made as to whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Section 8 and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, such determination to be made fifteen (15) business days after the Termination Date, or such other time as reasonably requested by Metavante Technologies or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). Such determination shall be made by a national independent accounting firm selected by Executive (the Accounting Firm). All fees, costs and

 

11


expenses (including, but not limited to, the cost of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as they become due. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations, acceptable to Executive, both to Metavante Technologies and Executive. The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be paid by Metavante Technologies to Executive or paid by Metavante Technologies on behalf of Executive to the applicable government taxing authorities by means of payroll tax withholding if required by law or if timely requested by Executive when payment of all or any portion of the Excise Tax is due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an unqualified opinion that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Any such initial determination by the Accounting Firm of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon Metavante Technologies and Executive subject to the application of Section 9(c).

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an Overpayment) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an Underpayment). An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon notice (formal or informal) to Executive from any governmental taxing authority that the tax liability of Executive (whether in respect of the then current taxable year of Executive or in respect of any prior taxable year of Executive) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which Metavante Technologies has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment. An Overpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments with respect to which Executive had previously received a Gross-Up Payment. Final Determination shall be deemed to have occurred when Executive has received from the applicable governmental taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Executive’s tax liability by reason of the Overpayment and upon either (i) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Executive and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired, or (ii) the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to Executive’s applicable tax return. If an Underpayment occurs, Executive shall promptly notify Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay to Executive at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which the applicable governmental taxing authority has requested payment, an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties imposed on the Underpayment. If an Overpayment occurs, the amount of the Overpayment shall be treated as a loan by Metavante Technologies to Executive and Executive shall, within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of such Overpayment, pay to Metavante Technologies the amount of the Overpayment plus interest at an annual rate equal to the rate provided for in Section 1274(b)(2)(E) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which the Overpayment relates) was paid to Executive.

 

12


(d) If no Gross-Up Payment is made because reducing the Payments to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax, then the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount necessary to avoid the Excise Tax; provided, however, the reduction will only be made if doing so would result in Executive retaining more after-tax than if the reduction were not made.

9. Unauthorized Disclosure. During the term of Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member, and during the two (2) year period following the Termination Date, Executive shall not make any Unauthorized Disclosure. For purposes of this Agreement, Unauthorized Disclosure shall mean disclosure by Executive without the consent of the Board to any person, other than an employee of a Metavante Group Member or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an executive of a Metavante Group Member or as may be legally required, of any confidential information obtained by Executive while in the employ of a Metavante Group Member (including, but not limited to, any confidential information with respect to any of Metavante Group’s customers or methods of operation) the disclosure of which he knows or has reason to believe will be materially injurious to the Metavante Group; provided, however, that the term “Unauthorized Disclosure” shall not include the use or disclosure by Executive, without consent, of any information known generally to the public (other than as a result of disclosure by him in violation of this Section 9) or any information not otherwise considered confidential by a reasonable person engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Metavante Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s obligation hereunder not to make any Unauthorized Disclosure shall continue after the end of the two-year period following Executive’s termination of employment with the Metavante Group as regards any information which is a trade secret as defined in Section 134.90 of the Wisconsin Statutes. In no event shall an asserted violation of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement.

10. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Metavante Technologies, its successors and assigns and Metavante Technologies shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Metavante Technologies would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representative.

11. Legal Fees and Expenses. Metavante Technologies, or a successor entity, shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably incurred by Executive as they become due as a result of (i) Executive’s hearing

 

13

All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third (3rd) business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

13. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Metavante Group for which Executive may qualify. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Metavante Group shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

14. Settlement of Claims. Metavante Technologies’ obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which a Metavante Group Member may have against Executive or others.

15. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and Metavante Technologies. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

16. Non-Duplication. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any other Metavante Group Member.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

18. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Change of Control Agreement.

Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Change of Control Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Change of Control Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

3


Good Reason (solely as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement), Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

4. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings described hereunder:

(a) Affiliate.

For purposes of this definition Control (including the terms “Controlled by” and “under common Control with”) means with respect to any entity, the power to direct the management and policies of such entity, directly or indirectly whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

(b) Annual Base Salary. Annual Base Salary shall mean the greater of (i) the base salary (Base Salary) paid or payable to Executive by Metavante Group Members in respect of the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the month in which the date of a Change of Control occurs, or (ii) Executive’s Base Salary on the Termination Date. Base Salary shall be calculated by including in Base Salary any amounts which were deferred by Executive under the 401(k) plan, the cafeteria plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Metavante Group and any other deferrals that would have increased Executive’s Base Salary if paid in cash when earned.

(c) Annual Bonus. Annual Bonus shall mean the annual bonus, if any, awarded (including amounts that were deferred) to Executive in the last fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the termination occurs.

(d) Cause. Cause shall mean a termination evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by a majority of the Board that Executive (i) willfully, deliberately and continually failed to substantially perform Executive’s duties (other than a failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which failure constitutes gross misconduct, and results in and was intended to result in demonstrable material injury to a member of the Metavante Group, monetary or otherwise, or (ii) committed acts of fraud and dishonesty constituting a felony, as determined by a final judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and resulting or intended to result in gain to or personal enrichment of Executive at the expense of a Metavante Group Member, provided, however, that no termination of Executive’s employment shall be for Cause until (a) Executive shall have had at least sixty (60) days to cure any conduct or act alleged to provide Cause for termination after a written notice of demand has been delivered to Executive specifying in detail the manner in which Executive’s conduct

 

4


would constitute Cause, and (b) Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of Executive’s counsel if Executive so desires). No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless Executive has acted or failed to act in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Metavante Group.

If Metavante Technologies determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth above), it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement of Metavante Technologies intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with all Metavante Group Members shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties.

(3) Executive’s right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Executive’s continued employment or failure to give Notice of Termination shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(h) Metavante Group Member. Metavante Group Member shall mean a member of the Metavante Group.

(k) WPM. WPM means collectively, WPM, L.P., a limited partnership organized by Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (“WPM L.P.”), a global private equity investment fund managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”) and any Affiliates of WPM L.P. or Warburg.

(i) A. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid;

B. A lump sum payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Average Bonus or (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any amount deferred, (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve (12) full months or for which Executive has been employed for less than twelve (12) full months) for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other benefits provided by the Metavante Group shall be secondary to those provided under the plan(s) of the other employer, but the aggregate coverage of the combined benefit plans of the Metavante Group and other employer shall in no event, be less favorable to Executive, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to him, than the Metavante Group coverage required hereunder.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding non-performance based stock option granted to the Executive shall automatically become fully and immediately vested.

(4) Executive shall have the right to purchase the car provided to him by the Metavante Group during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, if applicable, (or a comparable car acceptable to Executive if such car is no longer owned by the Metavante Group), at the fair market value thereof on the Termination Date, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; and if the car is not purchased, Executive shall return the car.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 6(a) (other than the Accrued Obligations) shall not be paid or provided to Executive unless and until Executive executes a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

(b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations, six (6) months of Annual Base Salary, and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date. The six (6) months of Annual Base Salary shall be paid during the six (6) month period following the Termination Date on a monthly basis. The term Other Benefits as used in this Section 6(b) shall mean, and Executive’s family shall be entitled

 

9


to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Metavante Group to surviving families of peer executives of the Metavante Group and under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect on the date of Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group and their families.

(c) Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive at the same times as specified in Section 6(a)(i). The term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 6(c) shall include, and Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Metavante Group to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group.

(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Term, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Term for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than the obligation to pay to Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination and any other amounts earned or accrued through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid; provided that if Executive voluntarily terminates, Executive shall receive the benefits normally provided upon normal or early retirement with respect to other peer executives and their families to the extent Executive qualifies for such benefits. All salary or compensation hereunder shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

(e) Delinquent Payments. If any of the payments referred to in this Section 6 are not paid within the time specified after the Termination Date (hereinafter a Delinquent Payment), in addition to such principal sum, Metavante Technologies will pay to Executive interest on all such Delinquent Payments computed at the prime rate as announced from time to time by M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, or its successor, compounded monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest shall be due and owing for payments which are delayed because of Executive’s failure to execute the Separation Agreement and Release or the rescission thereof.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) or other benefits

 

10


pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c) during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination and shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for the cost of such coverage six (6) months after Executive’s termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of the medical and dental benefits coverage described herein would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of all such coverage and neither Executive nor his survivors, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for doing so.

7. No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced (except to the extent set forth in Section 6(a)(2)) whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

8. Certain Reduction of Payments by Metavante Technologies.

(a) For purposes of this Section 8: (i) a Payment shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; (ii) Agreement Payment shall mean a Payment paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement (disregarding this Section); (iii) Present Value shall mean such value determined in accordance with Sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of Code; and (iv) Reduced Amount shall mean an amount expressed in Present Value that maximizes the aggregate Present Value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by Metavante Technologies or any Metavante Group Member because of Section 280G of the Code.

(b) Anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the national independent accounting firm selected by Metavante Technologies (the Accounting Firm) shall determine that receipt of all Payments would subject Executive to tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the aggregate Agreement Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to meet the definition of Reduced Amount.

(c) If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Agreement Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, Metavante Technologies shall promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section shall be binding upon Metavante Technologies and Executive and shall be made within 60 days of a termination of employment of Executive. For purposes of reducing the aggregate Agremeent Payments to the Reduced Amount, only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. The reduction of the aggregate Agreement Payments to the Reduced Amount, if applicable, shall be made by reducing

 

11


the Separation Payments under the following sections in the following order: (i) Section 6(a)(1)(ii), (ii) Section 6(a)(1(iii), and (iii) Section 6(a)(1)(i)(B). As promptly as practicable following such determination, Metavante Technologies shall pay to or distribute for the benefit of Executive such Agreement Payments as are then due to Executive under this Agreement and shall promptly pay to or distribute for the benefit of Executive in the future such Agreement Payments as become due to Executive under this Agreement.

(d) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by Metavante Technologies to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed (Overpayment) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by Metavante Technologies to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed (Underpayment), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either Metavante Technologies or Executive which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by Metavante Technologies to or for the benefit of Executive shall be repaid to Metavante Technologies together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such amount shall be payable by Executive to Metavante Technologies if and to the extent such payment would not either reduce the amount on which Executive is subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Metavante Technologies to or for the benefit of Executive together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

(e) All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in implementing the provisions of this Section 8 shall be borne by Metavante Technologies.

9. Unauthorized Disclosure. During the term of Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member, and during the two (2) year period following the Termination Date, Executive shall not make any Unauthorized Disclosure. For purposes of this Agreement, Unauthorized Disclosure shall mean disclosure by Executive without the consent of the Board to any person, other than an employee of a Metavante Group Member or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an executive of a Metavante Group Member or as may be legally required, of any confidential information obtained by Executive while in the employ of a Metavante Group Member (including, but not limited to, any confidential information with respect to any of Metavante Group’s customers or methods of operation) the disclosure of which Executive knows or has reason to believe will be materially injurious to the Metavante Group; provided, however, that the term “Unauthorized Disclosure” shall not include the use or disclosure by Executive, without consent, of any information known generally to the public

 

12


(other than as a result of disclosure by him in violation of this Section 9) or any information not otherwise considered confidential by a reasonable person engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Metavante Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s obligation hereunder not to make any Unauthorized Disclosure shall continue after the end of the two-year period following Executive’s termination of employment with the Metavante Group as regards any information which is a trade secret as defined in Section 134.90 of the Wisconsin Statutes. In no event shall an asserted violation of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement.

10. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Metavante Technologies, its successors and assigns and Metavante Technologies shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Metavante Technologies would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representative.

11. Legal Fees and Expenses. Metavante Technologies, or a successor entity, shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably incurred by Executive as they become due as a result of (i) Executive’s hearing before the Board as contemplated in Section 4(d) of this Agreement, (ii) a dispute between Executive and the Internal Revenue Service (or any other taxing authority) with regard to an Underpayment (as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement), or (iii) Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or by any other plan or arrangement maintained by a Metavante Group Member or an Affiliate under which Executive is or may be entitled to receive benefits.

12. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement (including the Notice of Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, if to Metavante Technologies, Inc., 4900 West Brown Deer Road, Brown Deer, Wisconsin 53223, Attn: Chief Administrative Officer or if to Executive, to the address set forth below Executive’s signature, or to such other address as the party may be notified. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third (3rd) business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

13. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Metavante Group for which Executive may qualify. Amounts which

 

13


are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Metavante Group shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

14. Settlement of Claims. Metavante Technologies’ obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which a Metavante Group Member may have against Executive or others.

15. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and Metavante Technologies. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

16. Non-Duplication. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any other Metavante Group Member.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

18. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, if any, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

20. Headings. The headings herein contained are for reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

21. Withholding.

The Metavante Group shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any question as to the amount or requirement of any such withholding shall arise.

22. 409A. In order to facilitate compliance with section 409A of the Code, Metavante Technologies and the Executive shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due hereunder is to be made, except as may otherwise be permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

EXHIBIT A

METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

Date Provided to Employee:                                         

In order to receive severance benefits under my Change of Control Agreement with Metavante Technologies, Inc. (my “Change of Control Agreement”), I understand that I must sign and return this Release to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metavante. I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on                     ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective             . I understand that regardless of whether I sign this release, I am entitled to certain unconditional benefits described in my Change of Control Agreement. I also understand that I will receive the conditional benefits described in my Change of Control Agreement after signing the release below.

 

  1. General Release of Claims.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to sue Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

 

  2. Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

 

  3. Claims Released Include Age Discrimination and Employment Claims.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Change of Control Agreement.

 

16


  4. Release Covers Claims Against Related Parties.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

 

  5. The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

 

  6. Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

 

  7. Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Change of Control Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

 

  8. All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Change of Control Agreement.

 

  9. Opportunity to Consider this Release; Consultation with Attorney.

I have read this release and fully understand its terms. I have been offered at least 21 days to consider its terms. I have been (and am again hereby) advised in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this release.

 

17


  10. Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

 

  11. Partial Invalidity of Release.

If any part of this release is held to be unenforceable, invalid or void, then the balance of this release shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

  12. Headings.

The headings and subheadings in this release are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not to be used in construing the release.

 

  13. Applicable Law.

Wisconsin law will apply in connection with any dispute or proceeding concerning this release.

 

  14. Relationship of Severance Benefits to My Rights Under Other Benefit Plans.

I understand that severance benefits payable to me shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining my benefits under any other qualified or nonqualified plans of Metavante.

 

  15. Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted. However, the previous three sentences shall not be applicable if I bring an action challenging the validity of this release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which I may do without penalty under this release).

 

  16. Confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge proprietary or confidential information relating to Metavante. I also agree that the existence and terms of this release have been and will be kept confidential by me and not disclosed, revealed or characterized by me (directly or indirectly by innuendo or otherwise) except as required by law, to anyone other than my immediate family and my attorney and tax advisor, who shall also agree similarly not to make any further disclosure.

 

18


  17. 7-Day Revocation Period.

I understand that I have a period of 7 calendar days following the date I deliver a signed copy of this release to Metavante Technologies’ Chief Administrative Officer to revoke this release. This release and my entitlement to severance pay will be binding and effective upon the expiration of this 7-day period if I do not revoke, but not before.

 

  18. Non-disparagement.

I agree not to make disparaging remarks about Metavante, or its products, services, or practices. Metavante Technologies agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause members of its Executive Committee and Board of Directors not to make disparaging remarks about me.

 

  19. Other Employment at Metavante Results in Loss of Severance Benefits.

I agree that while receiving Metavante severance pay and benefits, I may not work at Metavante as an employee, contractor, consultant, or through an employment agency. If I return to Metavante through such an agreement, my conditional severance pay and benefits will be terminated.

 

  20. No Re-Application.

I agree not to re-apply for employment at or otherwise work at Metavante.

For this purpose, the average selling price may be determined using the arithmetic mean of such selling prices on all trading days during the specified period, or the average of such prices over the specified period weighted based on the volume of trading of such stock on each trading day during such specified period.

7


Common Stock, or a combination of the two. For purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, (i) to the extent that any Award involving the issuance of shares of Common Stock is forfeited, cancelled, returned to the Company for failure to satisfy vesting requirements or other conditions of the Award, or otherwise terminates without an issuance of shares of Common Stock being made thereunder, the shares of Common Stock covered thereby will no longer be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitation and may again be made subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to such limitation; (ii) upon the exercise of an SAR granted under the Plan, the full number of SARs granted at such time shall be treated as shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan, notwithstanding that a lesser amount of shares or cash representing shares of Common Stock may have been actually issued or paid upon such exercise; and (iii) shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy taxes and shares of Common Stock used to exercise an Option or SAR, either directly or by attestation, shall be treated as issued hereunder.

All determinations made by the Committee regarding the Plan or an Award shall be binding and conclusive as regards the Company, the Participants, and any other interested persons.

 

8


6. Delegation of Authority. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, the Committee may delegate to the chief executive officer and to other senior officers of the Company its duties under the Plan pursuant to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish. Any such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

7. Awards. The Committee shall determine the type or types of Award(s) to be made to each Participant and shall set forth in the related Award Agreement the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Award, including any vesting requirements. Except to the extent an Award Agreement provides for a different result (in which case the Award Agreement will govern and this Section 7 of the Plan shall not be applicable), if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for a reason other than Cause within 2 years after a Change in Control, (a) each outstanding non-performance based Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award shall automatically become fully and immediately vested, and (b) each performance-based Award shall be vested at target (as defined in the Award Agreement). Any vesting rules or rules governing the period in which to exercise provided for in a Participant’s employment agreement or change of control agreement shall govern an Award if more favorable to the Participant than the vesting rules or rules governing the period in which to exercise otherwise applicable under an Award Agreement or the Plan.

The types of Awards available under the Plan are those listed as follows in this Section 7:

(a) Stock Option. A grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock the purchase price of which shall be not less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In addition, the Committee may not reduce the purchase price for Common Stock pursuant to an Option after the date of grant without the consent of the Company’s shareholders, except in accordance with adjustments pursuant to Section 15 hereof. Further, an Option may not be exercisable for a period in excess of ten years from the date of grant. An Option may be designated by the Committee in the Award Agreement as a Nonstatutory Stock Option for all Participants or an Incentive Stock Option for Participants who are employees. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option shall become vested and exercisable over the four year period after the Option is granted with the option with respect to 25% of the shares becoming vested and exercisable one year after the date of grant and an additional 25% becoming vested and exercisable on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. An Incentive Stock Option, in addition to being subject to applicable terms, conditions and limitations established by the Committee, shall comply with Section 422 of the Code which, among other limitations and shall provide that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the option is granted) of Common Stock for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. Incentive Stock Options shall be priced at not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant (110% in the case of a Participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code); and

 

9


that Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable for a period of not more than ten years (five years in the case of a Participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company) from the date of grant. The other restrictions and conditions of the Option will be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.

(b) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award. An Award of stock, or in the case of a Restricted Stock Unit, a bookkeeping entry granting a Participant the right to a share of Common Stock in the future, for some or no monetary consideration, as the Committee may specify, and which may contain transferability or forfeiture provisions including a requirement of future services and such other restrictions and conditions as may be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Except with respect to Substitute Awards and an aggregate of fifty (50) shares of Common Stock that may be granted to individuals who are instrumental to the completion of the transactions resulting in the Company becoming a separately traded public company, the restriction period for an employee shall not be less than three years; provided that the award may vest in installments over the restriction period. The Committee may grant fully vested Restricted Stock Units to non-employee directors.

(c) SARs. A grant of the right to receive, upon exercise, the difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, and the “Grant Value” of each SAR. The Grant Value shall be not less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant, as set forth in the Award Agreement. The Committee may not reduce the Grant Value after the date of grant without the consent of the Company’s shareholders, except in accordance with adjustments pursuant to Section 15 hereof. The difference between the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise and the Grant Value, multiplied by the number of SARs exercised (the “Spread”), shall be paid in shares of Common Stock which have a Fair Market Value equal to the Spread, provided, however, that any fractional share shall be paid in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, as determined in the discretion of the Committee, shall be entitled to elect to settle its obligation arising out of the exercise of an SAR by the payment of cash equal to the Spread, or by the issuance of a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash, in the proportions determined by the Committee, which have a Fair Market Value equal to the Spread. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, an SAR shall become vested and exercisable over the four year period after the SAR is granted with the stock appreciation right with respect to 25% of the shares being vested and exercisable one year after the date of grant and an additional 25% becoming vested and exercisable on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. The other restrictions and conditions of the SARs will be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, provided that the period for which an SAR may be exercisable shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant.

(d) Performance Stock or Performance Unit Award. A grant of a right to receive shares of Common Stock, or in the case of a Performance Unit Award, a

 

10


right to receive the increase in value of each unit in relation to the Fair Market Value of one or more shares of Common Stock if predetermined conditions are satisfied. The Committee may condition the grant of a Performance Stock Award or a Performance Unit Award upon the attainment of Performance Goals so that the grant qualifies as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or Section 409A of the Code. In no event shall the performance period be less than one year. The Committee may also condition the grant of a Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award upon such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee may determine.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Substitute Award of Options or SARs may be made under this Plan where the purchase price of the stock purchased through an Option or the grant price of the SAR is below Fair Market Value at the time of the Award provided: (i) the purchase price of the stock purchased through the option or the grant price of the stock appreciation right was at least equal to the fair market value of the stock (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and 422) at the time the stock appreciation right or option for which the Substitute Award is being made was originally granted; and (ii) the substitution complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A or Code Section 424, as applicable, with respect to the substitution of Options or SARs. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, a Substitute Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be granted with a restriction period of less than 3 years provided: (i) the restriction period is at least 3 years from the date the restricted stock or restricted stock units for which the Substitute Award is being made were originally granted; and (ii) the value of the Award is substantially equivalent to the value of the award for which the substitution is being made.

8. Deferred Payment of Awards. The Committee may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payments of some or all types of Awards in accordance with procedures established by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement at the time of grant which is intended to permit such deferrals to comply with applicable requirements of the Code, including Section 409A of the Code. If an Award Agreement does not provide for deferral elections, no such election shall be later permitted. Dividends or dividend equivalent rights may only be extended to and made part of any Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may establish. The Committee may also establish rules and procedures for the crediting of dividend equivalents for deferred payments of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

9. Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if (i) an Award is considered deferred compensation subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) payment under such Award could be triggered by a separation from service and (iii) the Participant who has been granted the Award is a specified employee, any and all amounts payable in connection with such Award that would (but for this sentence) be payable within six months following such separation from service, will instead be paid on the date that follows the date of such separation from service by six (6) months. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “separation from service” will be determined in a manner consistent with subsection

 

11


(a)(2)(A)(i) of Section 409A of the Code and the term “specified employee” will mean an individual determined by the Committee to be a specified employee as defined in subsection (a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A of the Code.

10. Stock Option Exercise. The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under a Stock Option shall be paid in full at the time of the exercise in cash or by means of tendering Common Stock, either directly or by attestation, valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, or any combination thereof.

11. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of shares under the Plan, an appropriate number of shares for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes, but in no event in excess of the minimum withholding required by law. The Company may defer making delivery with respect to Common Stock obtained pursuant to an Award hereunder until arrangements satisfactory to it have been made with respect to any such withholding obligation. If Common Stock is used to satisfy tax withholding, such stock shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the Nonstatutory Stock Option or SAR is exercised or the Restricted Stock or Performance Stock vests. In the case of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Units, such stock will be valued when the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Units are paid to a Participant, in the case of income tax withholding, or when the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Units vest, in the case of employment tax withholding, unless applicable law requires a different time for withholding. Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall be treated as issued for purposes of determining the number of shares remaining for grant of Awards pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

12. Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that

(a) no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board, except (i) to the extent necessary for Participants to avoid becoming subject to penalties and/or interest under Section 409A of the Code or (ii) to the extent that the Company wishes to terminate the Plan by paying out the value of all Awards (vested and non vested) to Participants in connection with the Change of Control for adjustments permitted under Section 15 hereof; and

(b) the Board may not, without further approval of the shareholders, adopt any amendment to the Plan for which shareholder approval is required under tax, securities or any other applicable law or the listing standards of the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading. In addition, the Board may not reduce the exercise price of an Option or the Grant Value of an SAR without the consent of the Company’s shareholders, except in accordance with the adjustments pursuant to Section 15 hereof; and

 

12


(c) unless determined otherwise by the Committee, any such modification or amendment shall be made in a manner that will enable an Award intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to continue to be so exempt, or to enable an Award intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to continue to so comply.

13. Termination of Employment or Service. If the employment of a Participant terminates, other than pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 13, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Awards shall terminate 90 days after such termination of employment or service, unless the Award Agreement or an employment agreement or change of control agreement provides otherwise, and during such 90-day period shall be exercisable only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, to the extent the Award is not effectively exercised or has not vested prior to such termination, it shall lapse or be forfeited to the Company immediately upon termination and (ii) a non-employee director’s Option shall terminate upon the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or the third anniversary of the termination of the Participant’s service as a director. In all events, an Award will not be exercisable after the end of its term as set forth in the Award Agreement.

(a) Resignation in the Best Interests of the Company. When a Participant resigns from the Company and, in the judgment of the chief executive officer or other senior officer designated by the Committee, the acceleration and/or continuation of outstanding Awards would be in the best interests of the Company, the Committee may authorize, where appropriate taking into account any regulatory or accounting implications of such action, the acceleration and/or continuation of all or any part of Awards granted prior to such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing if an Award is considered Deferred Compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A or is intended to be performance based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) the discretion otherwise permitted by this Section shall not applicable.

(b) Death or Disability of a Participant.

 

  (i) In the event of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries shall have a period specified in the Award Agreement within which to receive or exercise any outstanding Award held by the Participant under such terms, and to the extent, as may be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Rights to any such outstanding Awards shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the following order: (A) to beneficiaries so designated by the Participant; if none, then (B) to a legal representative of the Participant; if none, then (C) to the persons entitled thereto as determined by applicable law or, absent applicable law, a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

13


  (ii) In the event a Participant is deemed by the Company to be disabled within the meaning of the Award Agreement, or, absent a definition therein, the Company’s long-term disability plan, the Award shall be exercisable for the period, and to the extent, specified in the Award Agreement. Awards and rights to any such Awards may be paid to or exercised by the Participant, if legally competent, or a legally designated guardian or representative if the Participant is legally incompetent by virtue of such disability.

 

  (iii) After the death or disability of a Participant, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time (A) terminate restrictions in Award Agreements; (B) accelerate any or all installments and rights; and (C) instruct the Company to pay the total of any accelerated payments in a lump sum to the Participant, the Participant’s estate, beneficiaries or representative, notwithstanding that, in the absence of such termination of restrictions or acceleration of payments, any or all of the payments due under the Awards might ultimately have become payable to other beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award is considered deferred compensation subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall not have the discretion otherwise provided under this provision.

 

  (iv) In the event of uncertainty as to interpretation of or controversies concerning this subsection (b) of Section 13, the Committee’s determinations shall be binding and conclusive on all interested parties.

(c) No Employment or Service Rights. The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or service as a director, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time.

14. Nonassignability. Except as provided in subsection (b) of Section 13 and this Section 14, no Award or any other benefit under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or payable to or exercisable by anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee (in the form of an Award Agreement or otherwise) may permit Awards, other than Incentive Stock Options, to be transferred to members of the Participant’s immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of the Participant and/or such immediate family members, and to partnerships or other entities in which the Participant and/or such immediate family members own all the equity interests. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “immediate family” shall mean a Participant’s spouse, issue and spouses of his issue.

15. Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger, or similar event, the Committee shall make or provide

 

14


for such adjustment in the (a) the number of shares of Common Stock (i) reserved under the Plan, (ii) available for Incentive Stock Options, (iii) for which Awards may be granted to an individual Participant, and (iv) covered by outstanding Awards denominated in stock, (b) the stock prices related to outstanding Awards; and (c) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards, as the Committee in its sole discretion deems to be equitable. In the event of any other change affecting the Common Stock or any distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to holders of Common Stock, such adjustments as may be deemed equitable by the Committee, including adjustments to avoid fractional shares, shall be made to give proper effect to such event. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized to issue or assume awards, whether or not in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, by means of substitution of new Awards for previously issued awards or an assumption of previously issued awards provided such issuance or assumption complies with any applicable requirements of this Plan and Code Section 409A with respect to the substitution of options and SARs. Any adjustment, waiver, conversion or other action taken by the Committee under this Section 15 shall be conclusive and binding on all Participants, the Company and their successors, assigns and beneficiaries.

16. Notice. Any notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of the Plan shall be addressed to the director of human resources or to the chief executive officer of the Company in writing, and shall become effective when it is received by the office of either of them. Any notice to a Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at his last known address as it appears on the Company’s records.

17. Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to Common Stock under the Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any Common Stock, nor shall the Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any Common Stock to be granted under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to a grant of Common Stock or rights thereto under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by the Plan and any Award Agreement; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by the Plan.

18. Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

19. Termination Dates. The Plan shall terminate exactly ten years from the Effective Date subject to earlier termination by the Board pursuant to Section 12, after which no Awards may be made under the Plan, but any such termination shall not affect Awards then outstanding or the authority of the Committee to continue to administer the Plan.

 

15


20. Other Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant pursuant to an Award shall not be deemed a part of such Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the termination or severance plans of the Company and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan, contract or similar arrangement, unless the Committee expressly determines otherwise.

For purposes of this award agreement, retirement shall mean your termination of employment without Cause on or after age 55 if the sum of your age at termination of employment and years of service with the Company total 65 or more.

(d) Cause. In the event your employment is terminated for Cause, the Option shall cease to be exercisable on the date of such termination.

(e) Other Termination. In the event your employment terminates for any other reason, the Option shall be exercisable for ninety (90) days after your termination, but not beyond the remaining Option term.

In all cases, the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent it is vested on the date your employment terminates. In no event will it be exercisable after the end of the Option term as reflected on the Certificate.

3. Method of Exercising Option. You may exercise this Option, provided that it meets all vesting requirements, by logging on to netbenefits.fidelity.com or by calling Fidelity at 1-800-544-9354.

5.7. Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

5.8. Construction. As used in the Plan, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

5.9. Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation and deferred compensation if permitted by the Committee. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

5.10. Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to principles of conflict of laws that might result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, and shall be construed accordingly.

5.11. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall be effective upon its approval by the holders of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. The Plan shall be null and void and of no effect if the foregoing condition is not fulfilled. The first award under the Plan shall be for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.

Pursuant to a corporate separation transaction Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a public company, has been succeeded by two separate unrelated public companies known, after the effective date of the separation transaction (the “Separation Date”), as Metavante Technologies, Inc. and Marshall & Ilsley Corporation. Prior to the separation transaction, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation had sponsored the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation Amended and Restated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation 2005 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plans”). Employees of Metavante Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates had been covered under the Prior Plans before the separation transaction.

Metavante Technologies, Inc. is establishing the Metavante Executive Deferred Compensation Plan as the successor to the Prior Plans with respect to employees of Metavante Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates effective as of the date of closing of the separation transaction described above. The obligation to pay the benefits of employees and former employees of Metavante Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates accrued under the Prior Plans has been transferred to this Plan effective as of the Separation Date. In addition, employee deferrals and employer contributions shall be credited for service rendered to Metavante Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.

This document is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder and shall be interpreted accordingly. If any provision or term of this document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Section 409A of the Code. This document describes how this Plan shall be administered for periods from and after the Separation Date.

2.24 Pre-2008 Account. The subaccount in the Plan representing the deferrals and Employer contributions made for the Participant under the Prior Plans and this Plan for services performed in periods prior to 2008, as well as any earnings thereon.

2.25 Separation from Service. “Separation from Service” shall have the meaning set forth in IRS Regulation Section 1.409A-1, the requirements of which are summarized in part as follows:

(a) In General. The Participant shall have a Separation from Service with the Employer if the Participant dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Employer. However, for purposes of this Section 2.25, the employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while the individual is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the individual retains a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract. For purposes of this paragraph (a) of this Section 2.25, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Employer. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the individual does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence may be substituted for such six-month period.

(b) Termination of Employment. Whether a termination of employment has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Employer and Participant reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or, the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months). Facts and circumstances to be considered in making this determination include, but are not limited to, whether the Participant continues to be treated as an employee for other purposes (such as continuation of salary and participation in employee benefit programs), whether similarly situated service providers have been treated consistently, and whether the Participant is permitted, and realistically available, to perform services for other service recipients in the same line of business. The Participant is presumed to have Separated from Service where the level of bona fide services performed decreases to a level equal to 20 percent or less of the average level of services performed by the Employee during the immediately preceding 36-month period. The Participant will be presumed not to have Separated from Service where the level of bona fide services performed continues at a level that is 50 percent or more of the average level of service performed by the Participant during the immediately preceding 36-month period. No presumption applies to a decrease in the level of bona fide services performed to a level that is more than 20 percent and less than 50 percent of the average level of bona fide

 

4


services performed during the immediately preceding 36-month period. The presumption is rebuttable by demonstrating that the Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated that as of a certain date the level of bona fide services would be reduced permanently to a level less than or equal to 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services provided during the immediately preceding 36-month period or the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months (or that the level of bona fide services would not be so reduced). For example, the Participant may demonstrate that the Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated that the Participant would cease providing services, but that, after the original cessation of services, business circumstances such as termination of the Participant’s replacement caused the Participant to return to employment. Although the Participant’s return to employment may cause the Participant to be presumed to have continued in employment because the Participant is providing services at a rate equal to the rate at which the Participant was providing services before the termination of employment, the facts and circumstances in this case would demonstrate that at the time the Participant originally ceased to provide services, the Employer reasonably anticipated that the Participant would not provide services in the future. For purposes of this paragraph (b), for periods during which the Participant is on a paid bona fide leave of absence (as defined in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.25) and has not otherwise terminated employment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.25, the Participant is treated as providing bona fide services at a level equal to the level of services that the Participant would have been required to perform to receive the compensation paid with respect to such leave of absence. Periods during which the Participant is on an unpaid bona fide leave of absence (as defined in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.25) and has not otherwise terminated employment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.25, are disregarded for purposes of this paragraph (b) of this Section 2.25 (including for purposes of determining the applicable 36-month (or shorter) period).

(c) Asset Purchase Transactions. Where as part of a sale or other disposition of assets by the Employer as seller to an unrelated service recipient (buyer), a Participant of the Employer would otherwise experience a Separation from Service with the Employer, the Employer and the buyer may retain the discretion to specify, and may specify, whether a Participant providing services to the Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction has experienced a Separation from Service, provided that the asset purchase transaction results from bona fide, arm’s length negotiations, all service providers providing services to the Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction are treated consistently (regardless of position at the Employer) for purposes of applying the provisions of any nonqualified deferred compensation plan, and such treatment is specified in writing no later than the closing date of the asset purchase transaction. For purposes of this paragraph (c), references to a sale or other disposition of assets, or an asset purchase transaction, refer only to a transfer of substantial assets, such as a plant or division or substantially all the assets of a trade or business.

(d) Dual Status. If a Participant provides services both as an employee of the Employer and as an independent contractor of the Employer, the Participant must separate from service both as an employee and as an independent contractor to be treated as having Separated from Service. If a Participant ceases providing services as an independent contractor and begins providing services as an employee, or ceases providing services as an employee and begins

 

5


providing services as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services in both capacities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant provides services both as an employee of the Employer and a member of the board of directors of the Employer, the services provided as a director are not taken into account in determining whether the Participant has a Separation from Service as an employee for purposes of this Plan unless this Plan is aggregated with any plan in which the Participant participates as a director under IRS Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2)(ii).

2.26 Vesting Service. As to each Participant, the period during which he has been employed by the Employer, including such period of time that he was employed by a predecessor in interest to the Employer, which is credited under the Employer’s tax qualified retirement plan.

2.27 Unforeseeable Emergency. A severe financial hardship to a Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant or the Participant’s spouse or dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code, without regard to Section 151 (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)), loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, as a result of a natural disaster), or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. For example, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication, may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Finally, the need to pay for funeral expenses of a spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a), without regard to Section 151 (b)(1),(b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)) may also constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Except as otherwise provided above, the purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not Unforeseeable Emergencies. Whether a Participant is faced with an Unforeseeable Emergency is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case.

ARTICLE III

Eligibility

3.01 Conditions of Eligibility. Within a reasonable period of time prior to the beginning of a Plan Year or at any time during a Plan Year, the Administrator shall specify the senior management and highly compensated Employees eligible to participate herein as Group A Participants or Group B Participants. An Employee designated as a Group A Participant for a Plan Year shall remain a Group A Participant until the Employee’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, until the Administrator takes action to terminate such Employee’s Group A participation effective on the first day of any Plan Year subsequent to the date of such action by the Administrator. Each person designated as a Group A Participant for a Plan Year shall be an Active Participant for that Plan Year for all purposes of the Plan, including Section 4.06. In addition, each Employee who is designated as a Group B Participant who is prevented from receiving a contribution under the Employer’s tax qualified retirement plan during a Plan Year because of the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and/or 415 of the Code for any Plan Year shall be an Active Participant only for purposes of the second sentence of Section 4.06.

ARTICLE IV

Deferrals and Other Contributions

4.01 Deferral Elections.

(a) Salary Payments. A Group A Participant may elect to defer up to 80% of his Base Salary for services performed during a Plan Year by completing and filing such forms as required by the Employer prior to the first day of the Plan Year. A Participant may elect that his deferrals shall be taken either at a uniform percentage rate or in a uniform dollar amount from each of his Base Salary payments during the Plan Year. Base Salary deferred shall be retained by the Employer, credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 5.01 and paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. An Employee who is not already a Group B Participant and is not already eligible to participate in any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the account balance type who becomes a Group A Participant for the first time during a Plan Year (for example, an Employee designated to be a Group A Participant by the Administrator upon hire or promotion) may within 30 days after the effective date of participation make an election to defer a uniform percentage or uniform dollar amount of Base Salary to be paid to him for services to be performed subsequent to the deferral election (not to exceed 80% of such payments).

(b) Bonus Payments. A Group A Participant may elect to defer a specified percentage or specified dollar amount of his Bonus payments made to him for a Bonus earned for services performed during a Plan Year (not to exceed 100% of such payments) by completing and filing such forms as required by the Employer. To be effective, the deferral election must be filed prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which are performed the services for which such Bonus is payable. An Employee who is not already a Group B Participant and is not already eligible to participate in any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Employer of the account balance type who becomes a Group A Participant for the first time during a Plan Year (for example, an Employee designated to be a Participant by the Administrator upon hire or promotion) may, within 30 days after the effective date of participation, make an election to defer a specified percentage or specified dollar amount of any Bonus payment for which the service period has already begun and, in such event, the election shall apply to the portion of Bonus compensation equal to the total Bonus compensation to be paid to the Participant with respect to services performed in the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days remaining in the Plan Year and the denominator is the total number of days in the Plan Year.

4.02 Continued Effect of Elections.

(a) Salary Payments. A Group A Participant’s deferral election with respect to a Plan Year under Section 4.01(a) shall be irrevocable after the last date upon which it may be filed pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and shall continue in effect each subsequent Plan Year until prospectively revoked or amended in writing. For a revocation or amendment to be effective with respect to salary payments during a Plan Year, it must be filed by the last date for which an effective deferral election is permitted to be filed with respect to those salary payments under Section 4.01(a).

 

7


(b) Bonus Payments. A Group A Participant’s deferral election under Section 4.01(b) with respect to a Bonus shall be irrevocable after the last date upon which it may be filed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and shall continue in effect with respect to bonuses earned in subsequent Plan Years until prospectively revoked or amended in writing. For a revocation or amendment to be effective for any Bonus payment, it must be filed by the last date for which an effective deferral election is permitted to be filed with respect to that Bonus payment under Section 4.01(b).

4.03 Prior Deferral Elections. Any deferral election made prior to calendar year 2007 in effect under the M & I 2005 Executive Deferral Compensation Plan shall be treated as a deferral election described in Section 4.01(a) and/or Section 4.01(b), as the case may be, and shall continue in effect until modified as described in Section 4.02 above.

4.04 Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event that a Participant makes application for a hardship distribution under Section 7.05 and the Administrator determines that an Unforeseeable Emergency exists, all deferral elections otherwise in effect under this Article IV and any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the account balance type sponsored by the Employer shall immediately terminate upon such determination. To resume deferrals thereafter, a Participant must make an election satisfying the provisions of Section 4.01(a) and/or (b), as the case may be, as those provisions apply to someone who is already a Group A Participant in the Plan.

4.05 401(k) Hardship. Any deferral elections in effect under this Article IV shall be cancelled as required due to a hardship distribution described in IRS Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3) or any successor thereto. To resume deferrals after the required suspension period, a Participant must make an election satisfying the provisions of Section 4.01(a) and/or (b), as the case may be, as those provisions apply to someone who is already an Active Participant in the Plan.

4.06 Other Contributions. In the event that deferrals made by a Participant pursuant to this Plan cause a reduction in the contributions by the Employer for the benefit of that Participant to any other qualified or nonqualified retirement plan maintained by the Employer, and such reduction is not contributed or credited to any other nonqualified retirement plan, the Employer shall credit to the Participant’s account under this Plan an amount equal to such net reductions in benefits. If, as a result of limitations contained in Sections 401(a)(17) and/or 415 of the Code, or as a result of amounts deferred under the Plan, the contributions made to the profit sharing and/or matching contribution component of the tax-qualified retirement plan of the Employer on behalf of a Participant are reduced, the Employer shall credit an amount equal to such reduction to a separate subaccount (the “SERP Account”) within the Account established for such person. To the extent that the contributions described in this Section 4.06 were not made to the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation 2005 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for the period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending immediately prior to the Separation Date, contributions for that period shall be made by the Employer under this Section 4.06 as well as for periods beginning from and after the Separation Date.

ARTICLE V

Accounts and Sub-Accounts

5.01 Credits to Account. Bookkeeping amounts equal to the amounts deferred by a Participant pursuant to Article IV (or contributed by the Employer pursuant to Section 4.06) shall, subject to Section 5.02(b)(vii), be credited to the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable after the deferred compensation would otherwise have been paid to such Participant in the absence of deferral (or, in the case of the contributions pursuant to Section 4.06, after the qualified plan contributions they replace would have been made).

5.02 Valuation of Account.

(a) The Participant’s Account shall be credited or charged with deemed earnings or losses as if it were invested in accordance with paragraph (b) below.

(b) (i) The investment options available hereunder for the deemed investment of the Account shall be the Common Stock option and the other options specified in Section 5.03. However, in no event shall the Employer be required to make any such investment in the Common Stock option or any other investment option and, to the extent such investments are made, such investments shall remain an asset of the Employer subject to the claims of its general creditors.

(ii) On the date deferrals and contributions are credited to the Participant’s Account under Section 5.01, such amounts shall be deemed to be invested in one or more of the investment options designated by the Participant for such deemed investment pursuant to Section 5.03. Once made, the Participant’s investment designation shall continue in effect for existing Account balances and all future deferrals and contributions until changed by the Participant. Any such change may be prospectively elected by the Participant at the times established by the Administrator, which shall be no less frequently than semi-annually, and shall be effective only from and after the effective date of such change. Until such time as the Administrator takes action to the contrary, such changes may be elected at the times specified in Section 5.03.

(iii) A Participant’s balance in the Common Stock option shall be determined as though deferrals and contributions credited to the Participant’s Account allocated to that option are invested in Common Stock by purchase at the Fair Market Value price of such stock on the date the amounts are credited to the Participant’s Account.

(iv) The portion of a Participant’s Account invested in the Common Stock option shall be called the Metavante Stock Portion. The remaining portion of the Participant’s Account is herein referred to as the General Investment Portion.

(v) The value of the Metavante Stock Portion on any particular date will be based upon the value of the shares of Common Stock which such Portion is deemed to hold on that date. Subject to subparagraph (vii) below, the shares of such stock deemed to be held in such Portion shall be credited with dividends at the time they are credited with respect to actual shares of Common Stock and such dividends shall be deemed to be used to purchase

 

9


additional shares of Common Stock on the day following the crediting of such dividends at the then Fair Market Value price of such stock. Subject to subparagraph (vii) below, the Metavante Stock Portion shall also be credited from time to time with additional shares of Common Stock equal in number to the number of shares granted in any stock dividend or split to which the holder of a like number of shares of Common Stock would be entitled. All other distributions with respect to shares of Common Stock shall be similarly applied.

(vi) The valuation of the funds held in the General Investment Portion shall be accomplished in the same manner as though the deemed investments in such funds had actually been made and are valued at their fair market value price on valuation dates hereunder.

(vii) A Participant’s Account shall be valued as of December 31 each year and at such other times established by the Administrator, which shall be no less frequently than quarterly. Until such time as the Administrator takes action to the contrary, such valuation shall be quarterly. The Employer shall increase the Account of each Participant by (A) the amount, if any, of deferrals and contributions credited pursuant to Section 5.01 during any calendar quarter, and (B) any investment income or gains and decrease each Participant’s Account by (A) any withdrawals or distributions from the Account during any calendar quarter and (B) any investment losses resulting as if the Account were invested pursuant to the timely-filed Investment Election in effect for such calendar quarter. For purposes of computing the investment return on the Account for any quarter, the principal balance as of the first day of the relevant quarter shall equal the balance as of the end of the preceding quarter, increased by 50% of the amounts, if any, of deferrals and contributions credited to the Account during the quarter pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof and decreased by any distributions made to the Participant or his Beneficiaries from the Account during the quarter.

(viii) All elections and designations under this Section 5.02 shall be made in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator.

(ix) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.02 to the contrary, a Participant may not make any election or transaction in Common Stock at a time when (A) the Participant is in possession of any material non-public information or at a time not permitted under the Employer’s policy on insider trading or (B) not permitted under applicable law.

(c) The Employer shall provide quarterly reports to each Participant showing (a) the value of the Account as of the most recent calendar quarter end, (b) the deferrals and contributions credited to the Participant under Section 5.01 for such quarter and (c) the amount of any investment gain or loss.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the deemed investments are to be used for measurement purposes only and shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of the Participant’s Account balance in any investment option. In the event that the Employer or the trustee of any grantor trust which the Employer may choose to establish to finance some or all of its obligations hereunder, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of such options, the Participant shall have no rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the

 

10


foregoing, the Participant’s Account balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Employer or any trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Employer.

5.03 Available Investment Options.

(a) For the period beginning on the Separation Date and thereafter until a new election is filed, the Participant’s Account shall be invested in the same way as the Participant’s Account was invested in the Prior Plans immediately prior to the separation transaction, except, however, that the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to Account B in the Prior Plans which had been invested in common stock of original Marshall & Ilsley Corporation prior to the Separation Date shall be invested in (i) an amount of Metavante stock equal to the Metavante stock distributed on the Separation Date with respect to that original Marshall & Ilsley Corporation stock and (ii) the default option described in paragraph (b) below with the amount to be invested in the default option equal to the value of the shares of new Marshall & Ilsley Corporation stock issued with respect to the original Marshall & Ilsley Corporation stock on the Separation Date.

(b) Beginning January 1, 2008 and until changed by the Employer’s Board of Directors, the investment options available to Participants are (i) the Moody’s A Long-Term Corporate Bond Rate (the “default option”) adjusted annually to equal the average yield for the month of September of the previous year (ii) the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the applicable quarter and (iii) Common Stock. All investment elections must be in increments of 10%. If a Participant does not have an election in effect pursuant to paragraph (a) above and does not file an Investment Election, the Account shall be deemed to be invested in the default option. The Participant may change his Investment Election as of January 1 or July 1 in any Plan Year by delivering to the Employer a new Investment Election at least 15 days prior to such effective date. Upon a Change of Control, the Employer, the Administrator or any successor thereto, may not change the investment choices available to Participants hereunder without the consent of a majority of the holders of Account balances under the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

Vesting

6.01 In General. Subject to Sections 6.02 and 6.03 below and the rights of the Employer’s creditors as set forth in Section 5.02(d), the Account of a Participant, including all earnings accrued thereon, shall at all times be fully vested.

6.02 SERP Account. The portion of the SERP Account attributable to amounts contributed for years prior to 2007 shall vest once the Participant has five years of Vesting Service, but shall be forfeited if the Participant has a Separation from Service before having completed five years of Vesting Service. The portion of the SERP account attributable to amounts contributed for years after 2006 shall vest once the Participant has three years of Vesting Service, but shall be forfeited if the Participant has a Separation from Service before having completed three years of Vesting Service.

 

11


6.03 Amounts Attributable to Former Account B. If a Participant had restricted units in Account B under either or both of the Prior Plans:

(a) The Participant shall be fully vested in the portion of his Account attributable to a restricted unit agreement entered into prior to calendar year 2004.

(b) The portion of his Account attributable to a restricted unit agreement entered into in 2004 shall vest on October 27, 2007 if he has not had a Separation from Service prior to that date.

(c) The portion of such Account attributable to a restricted unit agreement entered into in 2005 shall vest on October 28, 2008 if he has not had a Separation from Service prior to that date.

(d) With respect to the portion of his Account attributable to a restricted stock unit agreement entered into in 2006, one third shall vest on October 30, 2009, one third shall vest on October 30, 2010 and one third shall vest on October 30, 2011 if he has not had a Separation from Service prior to such dates.

ARTICLE VII

Manner and Timing of Distribution

7.01 Payment of Benefits. After a Participant’s Separation from Service the vested balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s Beneficiary) on the Participant’s Distribution Date. Payment shall be made in a Single Sum or Installments as specified in the Participant’s Distribution Election pursuant to Section 7.02:

(a) Single Sum. A single sum cash distribution of the value of the vested balance of the Account shall be paid on the Distribution Date.

(b) Installments.

(i) The value of the vested balance of the Account shall be paid in annual cash installments with the first of such installments to be paid on the Distribution Date and with subsequent installments paid on anniversaries of the Distribution Date. Annual installments shall be paid over the number of years selected by the Participant in the Distribution Election made pursuant to Section 7.02, which number must be either 5, 10 or 15. The earnings (or losses) provided for in Article V shall continue to accrue on the balance remaining in the Account during the period of installment payments. Each annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying the value of the Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a 10 year annual installment method, the first payment shall be one-tenth (1/10) of the Account balance, the following year, the payment shall be one-ninth (1/9) of the Account balance, etc. Installment Distributions from the Participant’s Account shall be taken on a pro rata basis from the amounts held by his Account in each investment option which he has elected.

 

12


(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if the Participant’s Distribution Date occurs as a result of Separation from Service either (A) prior to age 55, (B) after age 55 due to death or Disability or (C) before he has attained at least age 55 and his age and years of Vesting Service total at least age 65, then, notwithstanding the fact that the Participant may have elected installment distributions with a 10 or 15 year installment period, the installment period will instead be 5 years.

7.02 Distribution Election.

(a) An individual who first becomes a Participant at the beginning of a Plan Year shall, prior to his date of participation, complete a Distribution Election specifying the form of payment applicable to such Participant’s Account under the Plan. Absent an election by such Participant by the effective date of participation, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected payment in the five (5) annual installment payment form. An individual who first becomes a Participant other than on the first day of a Plan Year shall, no later than 30 days after the effective date of participation, complete a Distribution Election specifying the form of payment applicable to such Participant’s Account. In the event such a Participant does not make an election within such 30 day period, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected the five (5) annual installment payment form. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if such Participant is already a participant in any other nonqualified plan or plans of the account balance type sponsored by the Employer or one of it’s Affiliates, the most recent distribution election with respect to any one of those plans shall be the form of payment deemed elected under this Plan, regardless of whether the individual elects or is deemed to have elected a different form of payment during that initial 30 day period, and the Distribution Date shall be the same distribution date which would apply under that other plan.

(b) Once a Participant files a Distribution Election, it shall apply to deferrals and contributions credited before a new Distribution Election is effective for Plan Years after the new Distribution Election is filed. A Participant may have multiple Distribution Elections in effect. For example, an individual who is an Active Participant in the Plan for ten Plan Years who files a new Distribution Election prior to the beginning of each Plan Year will have ten Distribution Elections in effect—one for each Plan Year he is an Active Participant. An individual who is an Active Participant for ten Plan Years who files only one Distribution Election at the commencement of Plan participation will have one Distribution Election governing all of the deferrals and contributions credited to his Account for the ten Plan Years he is an Active Participant.

(c) A Participant may change an existing Distribution Election for deferrals and contributions which have already been credited, by completing and filing a change of Distribution Election.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (c), a Distribution Election changing the Participant’s form of payment specified in a previously existing Distribution Election shall not be effective if the Participant has a Separation from Service within twelve months after the date on which the election change is filed with the Employer. Any change in payment method must have the effect of delaying the commencement of payment to a date which is at least five (5) years after the initially scheduled commencement date of payment previously in effect.

 

13


(e) For purposes of compliance with Code Section 409A, a series of installment payments is designated as a single payment rather than a right to a series of separate payments. Therefore, a Participant who has elected (or is deemed to have elected) any option under Section 7.01 may substitute any other option available under Section 7.01 for the option originally selected as long as the one-year and five-year rules described in paragraph (d) are satisfied.

(f) The five-year delay rule described in paragraph (d) above does not apply if the revised payment method applies only upon the Participant’s death or Disability.

(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, an individual who first becomes a Participant in this Plan by becoming a Group B Participant shall have until 30 days after the end of the first Plan Year for which an amount is credited to his Account to complete a Distribution Election specifying the form of payment applicable to the Participant’s Account under the Plan. Absent an actual election by such Participant by such date, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected payment in the five (5) year annual installment form. If such Participant is already a Participant in any other non-qualified plan or plans sponsored by the Employer of the account balance type, the most recent distribution election with respect to any one of those plans shall be the payment form deemed elected under this Plan regardless of whether the individual elects a different payment form during the above specified 30 day period and the Distribution Date shall be the same distribution date which would apply under that other Plan.

(h) The distribution election (or elections if different elections were made for amounts deferred or credited for different years) in effect under the Prior Plans for a Participant shall continue to govern the portion of his Account which is his Pre-2008 Account. For amounts credited or deferred for years after 2007 for an individual who was a Participant in the Prior Plans and who does not make a new Distribution Election under this Plan on or before December 31, 2007 pursuant to paragraph (i) below, the distribution of the portion of his Account herein which is not his Pre-2008 Account shall be governed by his most recent election made for distribution from Account A (the account denominated in cash) in the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation 2005 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan or, if none, his most recent election with respect to Account A under the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation Amended and Restated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (except that any election of installment distributions over a 5, 10, or 15 year period shall be annual installment distributions over the same period and the commencement date shall be the Distribution Date specified herein).

(i) Notwithstanding the usual rules regarding Distribution Elections set forth in Section 7.01 and this Section 7.02, a Participant may make an election on or before December 31, 2007 as to distribution of his Account from among the choices described at Section 7.01 hereof without complying with the rules described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02 as long as the effect of the election is not to accelerate payments into 2007 or to defer payments which would otherwise have been made in 2007. Such Distribution Election shall become effective after the last day upon which it is permitted to be made. Such election shall be applicable to the Participant’s Pre-2008 Account or to the Participant’s entire Account,

 

14


whichever he elects. However, in order to subsequently change such special election after December 31, 2007, the requirements in paragraphs (b) through (f) of this Section this 7.02 must be satisfied.

7.03 In-Service Payment Election.

(a) Each Participant with a Pre-2008 Account balance may elect an In-Service Payment Date with respect to his vested interest in that Pre-2008 Account balance. Such election must be made on or before December 31, 2007. The payment options available are the same options described in Section 7.01 (but ignoring Section 7.01(b)(ii)).

(b) A Participant may have different Distribution Elections in effect with respect to amounts deferred or credited for different years and, further, with respect to amounts which are deferred or credited in the same year but vest in a later year or years. Notwithstanding the election of an earlier In-Service Payment Date, an amount subject to an In-Service payment election which is not vested shall have as its In-Service Payment Date the date upon which the Participant vests in such amount.

(c) If the Participant’s In-Service Payment Date with respect to any portion of such Pre-2008 Account occurs before the Participant’s Separation from Service, then the Distribution Date with respect to such portion of the Pre-2008 Account shall be the Participant’s specified In-Service Payment Date. If the Participant incurs a Separation from Service before the In-Service Payment Date with respect to any portion of such Pre-2008 Account, then the Participant’s election of an In-Service Payment Date shall be inapplicable to such portion.

(d) A Participant shall be required to make a separate Distribution Election as to the form of payment to be made following an applicable In-Service Payment Date as compared to the form of payment to be applicable to distribution due to Separation from Service.

(e) After 2007 a Participant may change the form of payment applicable in connection with an In-Service Payment Date and/or elect a later In-Service Payment Date by completing and filing a new Distribution Election with the Employer.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (e): (i) a Distribution Election changing a Participant’s form of payment following an In-Service Payment Date or changing a previously elected In-Service Payment Date shall not be effective unless filed at least one year in advance of the originally applicable In-Service Payment Date; (ii) any change in the In-Service Payment Date must have the effect of delaying the In-Service payment Date to a date which is at least 5 years after the In-Service Payment Date previously in effect; and (iii) any change in the payment method must have the effect of delaying the commencement of payments to a date which is at least 5 years after the In-Service Payment Date previously in effect.

(g) If a Participant has a Separation from Service before any installment payments elected under this Section 7.03 have been completed, distribution of the Pre-2008 Account under this Section 7.03 shall continue as if such Separation from Service had not taken place. Distribution of the remaining portion of his Account (excluding the Pre-2008 Account) due to Separation from Service shall be made pursuant to the Participant’s Distribution Election applicable to distribution due to Separation from Service.

 

15


7.04 Upon Death.

(a) Upon a Participant’s death, any balance remaining in his Accounts shall be paid by the Employer in accordance with his Distribution Election(s) except that such payments shall be made to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries specified by the Participant or, if none, to his surviving spouse or, if none, to his estate. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive the unpaid balance of his Accounts upon his death and may revoke or modify such designation at any time and from time to time by submitting a beneficiary designation to the Administrator.

(b) If a Participant designates multiple Beneficiaries as either primary or contingent Beneficiaries, and one of the contingent Beneficiaries has predeceased the Participant, the deceased Beneficiary’s share shall go to the Beneficiary’s estate. For example, if a Participant designates his spouse as the sole primary beneficiary and his three children as equal contingent beneficiaries, and if the spouse and one child predecease the Participant, the two children would each get one-third of the distributions from the Accounts and the predeceased child’s one-third share would go to his estate. The spouse’s estate would be entitled to nothing.

(c) If a Beneficiary survives a Participant but dies prior to receipt of the entire amount in the Account due him, the Employer shall make payments to the Estate of the Beneficiary in accordance with the Distribution Election. For example, if the Participant’s spouse is his primary Beneficiary and his three children are his contingent Beneficiaries, and if the spouse survives the Participant such that she is receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of this Plan, but dies prior to the receipt of all distributions to which she is entitled, any remaining distributions shall be paid to the spouse’s estate and not to the contingent beneficiaries.

7.05 Unforeseeable Emergencies. A partial or total distribution of the Participant’s Account shall be made prior to the otherwise applicable Distribution Date upon the Participant’s request and a demonstration by the Participant of severe financial hardship as a result of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Such distribution shall be made in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Administrator’s determination that the foregoing requirements have been met. In any case, a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under Article IV. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need must take into account any additional compensation that is available because of cancellation of a deferral election under Article IV upon a payment due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. The payment may be made from any arrangement in which the Participant participates that provides for payment upon an Unforeseeable Emergency, provided that the arrangement under which the payment was made must be designated at the time of payment.

 

16


7.06 Upon a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (except Section 7.07(a)) or in the Distribution Elections, a Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum after the Participant’s Separation from Service, but only if such Separation from Service occurs when, or within a year after, a Change of Control (which is also a “change of control” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder) takes place. Such distribution shall be made on the first day of the seventh month after Separation from Service, unless the Separation from Service is due to death or Disability, in which event the Distribution shall be made no later than forty-five days after Separation from Service.

7.07 Delayed Distributions.

(a) A payment otherwise required to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII shall be delayed if the Employer reasonably anticipates that the Employer’s deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m); provided, however that such payment shall be made on the earliest date on which the Employer anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m). In any event, such payment shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant has a Separation from Service or, in the case of a Specified Employee (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder), the last day of the calendar year in which occurs the six (6) month anniversary of such Separation from Service.

(b) A payment otherwise required under Sections 7.01 through 7.05 shall be delayed if the Employer reasonably determines that the making of the payment will jeopardize the ability of the Employer to continue as a going concern; provided, however, that payments shall be made on the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably determines that the making of the payment will not jeopardize the ability of the Employer to continue as a going concern.

(c) A payment otherwise required under Sections 7.01 through 7.05 shall be delayed if the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable law; provided, however, that payments shall nevertheless be made on the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. (The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the applicability of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.)

(d) A payment otherwise required under Sections 7.01 through 7.05 shall be delayed upon such other events and conditions as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

7.08 Inclusion in Income Under Section 409A.

7.10 De Minimis Amounts.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, a Participant’s entire Account balance under this Plan and all other nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the account balance type sponsored by the Employer and its affiliates shall automatically be distributed to the Participant on or before the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the Participant’s Separation from Service or the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service if the total amount in such Account balance at the time of distribution, when aggregated with all other amounts payable to the Participant under all arrangements benefiting the Participant described in Section 1.409A-1(c) or any successor thereto, does not exceed the amount described in Code Section 402(g)(1)(B). The foregoing lump sum payment shall be made automatically and any other distribution elections otherwise applicable with respect to the individual in the absence of this provision shall not apply.

7.11 Participants in Pay Status on the Separation Date.

Notwithstanding Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 or 7.04, the Accounts of Participants already in pay status on the Separation Date shall continue to be distributed under the distribution method then in effect.

General Provisions

10.01 Assignment and Rights of Participant. No Participant or Beneficiary may sell, assign, transfer encumber or otherwise dispose of the right to receive payments hereunder. A Participant’s rights to benefit payments under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of a Participant or a Beneficiary. No Participant or any other person shall have any interest in any fund or in any specific asset or assets of the Employer by reason of any amounts credited to any Account hereunder, nor any right to exercise any of the rights or

 

21


privileges of a stockholder with respect to any securities hypothetically credited to a Participant’s Account under the Plan, nor any right to receive any distributions under the Plan except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan.

10.02 Employment Not Guaranteed by Plan. The establishment of this Plan and the designation of an Employee as a Participant, shall not give any Participant the right to continued Employment or limit the right of the Employer to dismiss or impose penalties upon the Participant or modify the terms of Employment of any Participant. Nor does the participation in this Plan guarantee the Participant the right to receive any specific amount of compensation or bonus, such amount being determined solely under such applicable compensation or bonus arrangement as established by the Employer.

10.03 Notice. Any and all notices, designations or reports provided for herein shall be in writing and delivered personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed, in the case of the Employer to the Corporate Secretary at 4900 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53223-2422 and, in the case of a Participant or Beneficiary, to his home address as shown on the records of the Employer. The addresses referenced herein may be changed by a notice delivered in accordance with the requirement of this Section 10.03.

10.04 Limitation on Liability. In no event shall the Employer, Administrator or any employee, officer or director of the Employer incur any liability for any act or failure to act unless such act or failure to act constitutes a lack of good faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence with respect to the Plan or the trust established in connection with the Plan.

10.05 Indemnification. The Employer shall indemnify the Administrator and any employee, officer or director of the Employer against all liabilities arising by reason of any act or failure to act unless such act or failure to act is due to such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or lack of good faith in the performance of his duties to the Plan or the trust established pursuant to the Plan. Such indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim, including reasonable attorney and legal fees, and amounts paid in any settlement or compromise; provided, however, that indemnification shall not occur to the extent that it is not permitted by applicable law. Indemnification shall not be deemed the exclusive remedy of any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this section. The indemnification provided hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased acting as a director, officer, member, agent or employee of the Administrator or as an officer, director or employee of the Employer and such person’s rights shall inure to the benefit of his heirs and representatives.

10.06 Headings. All articles and section headings in this Plan are intended merely for convenience and shall in no way be deemed to modify or supplement the actual terms and provisions stated thereunder.

10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Plan prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. The illegal or invalid provisions shall be fully severable and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had never been inserted in this Plan.

 

22


10.08 Status of Plan Under ERISA. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained by the Employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as described in Section 201(2), Section 301(a)(3), Section 401(a)(1) and Section 4021(b)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

10.09 Impact on Other Plans No amounts credited to any Participant under this Plan and no amounts paid from this Plan will be taken into account as “wages”, “salary”, “base pay” or any other type of compensation when determining the amount of any payment or allocation, or for any other purpose, under any other qualified or nonqualified pension or profit sharing plan of the Employer, except as otherwise may be specifically provided by such plan.

10.10 Evidence Conclusive. The Employer, the Committee and any person or persons involved in the administration of the Plan shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, statement, or representation made or evidence furnished by any person with respect to any facts required to be determined under any of the provisions of the Plan, and shall not be liable on account of the payment of any monies or the doing of any act or failure to act in reliance thereon. Any such certification, statement, representation, or evidence, upon being duly made or furnished, shall be conclusively binding upon the person furnishing it but not upon the Employer, the Committee or any other person involved in the administration of the Plan. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any of such parties from contesting any such certification, statement, representation, or evidence or to relieve any person from the duty of submitting satisfactory proof of any fact.

10.11 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin to the extent not preempted by the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or other federal law.

10.12 Construction. Words used in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and words used in the singular shall include the plural, as appropriate. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement, not to a particular section. All references to statutory sections shall include the section so identified as amended from time to time or any other statute of similar import.

10.13 Minor or Incompetent Payees. If a person to whom a benefit is payable is a minor or is otherwise incompetent by reason of a physical or mental disability, the Administrator may cause the payments due to such person to be made to another person for the first person’s benefit without any responsibility to see to the application of such payment. Such payments shall operate as a complete discharge of the obligations to such person under the Plan.

10.14 Withholding. The Employer shall comply with all applicable tax and governmental withholding requirements. To the extent required by law, the Employer shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government from payments made hereunder or from any other amounts paid to a Participant by the Employer. If FICA taxes must be withheld in connection with amounts credited hereunder before payments are otherwise due hereunder and if there are no other wages from which to withhold them, the Employer shall pay such FICA taxes generated by such payment (and taxes under Code Section

 

23


3401 triggered thereby and additional taxes under Section 3401 attributable to pyramiding of Section 3401 wages and taxes) but no more and the Participant’s Account hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the payments made by the Employer.

10.15 Cessation of Affiliation. Each Employer sponsors the Plan as to its own employees and not with respect to the employees of any other Employer which sponsors the Plan. If an Employer which sponsors the Plan ceases to be affiliated with the other Employers which sponsor the Plan, then that Employer shall continue to maintain the Plan with respect to its own employees, shall adopt replacement documents which are substantively identical to this document by which to continue its obligations which had been created hereunder and, thereafter, its obligations to its employees shall be governed by such successor documents and this document shall cease to apply to that Employer and its employees.

10.16 Assignability by Employer. The Employer shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and obligation in and under this Plan upon a merger or consolidation in which the Employer is not the surviving entity or to the purchaser of substantially its entire business or assets or the business or assets pertaining to a major product line, provided such assignee or purchaser assumes and agrees to perform after the effective date of such assignment all of the terms, conditions and provisions imposed by this Plan upon the Employer. Upon such assignment, all of the rights, as well as all obligations, of the Employer under this Plan shall thereupon cease and terminate.

10.17 Unsecured Claim; Grantor Trust.

(a) The right of a Participant to receive payment hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Employer, and no provisions contained herein, nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed to give any individual at any time a security interest in any asset of the Employer, of any affiliated corporation, or of the stockholders of the Employer. The liabilities of the Employer to a Participant hereunder shall be those of a debtor pursuant to such contractual obligations as are created hereunder and to the extent any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Employer hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer.

(b) The Employer may establish a grantor trust (but shall not be required to do so) to which the Employer may in its discretion contribute (subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employer) the amounts credited to the Account. If a grantor trust is so established, payment by the trust of the amounts due the Participant or his Beneficiary hereunder shall be considered a payment by the Employer for purposes of this Plan.

ARTICLE XI

11.01 Termination and Amendment. The Board of Directors of the Employer may at any time terminate, suspend, alter or amend this Plan so long as such actions do not contravene the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. No Participant or any other person shall have any right, title, interest or claim against the Employer, its directors, officers or employees for any

 

24


amounts, except that (i) the Participant shall be fully vested in his Accounts hereunder as of the date on which the Plan is terminated or suspended, (ii) no amendment shall eliminate the crediting of an investment return on the General Investment Portion prior to the complete distribution thereof without the consent of the Participant and (iii) subsequent to a Change of Control, unless a majority of the holders of Account balances agree to the contrary, the Employer or the Administrator may not alter (a) the choice of investments in the Investment Election as in effect immediately before the Change of Control or (b) the payment options contained in the Distribution Elections as in effect immediately before the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Employer may make any amendment necessary in order to avoid penalties under Section 409A of the Code, even if such amendment is detrimental to Participants.

11.02 Termination Permitting Lump Sum Payment. If the Employer terminates the Plan and if the termination is of the type permitting lump sum distribution described in regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code Section 409A, then the Employer shall distribute the then existing Account balances of Participants and beneficiaries in a lump sum within the time period specified in such regulations and, following such distribution, there shall be no further obligation to any Participant or beneficiary under this Plan. However, if the termination is not of the type described in such regulations permitting lump sum distribution, then following Plan termination Participants’ Accounts shall be paid at such time and in such form as provided under Article VII of the Plan.
