its obligations under the Merger Agreement, the delivery of legal opinions as to
the tax treatment of the Merger, and the receipt of certain tax opinions
regarding the impact of the Merger on the tax treatment of certain past

respect to an alternative transaction that the board of directors of such party
has determined to be a superior proposal, subject to compliance with certain
conditions), Metavante or FIS would be required to pay the other party a
termination fee of $175 million.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated
into this report by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and security
holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any
other factual information about FIS, Metavante or their respective subsidiaries
and affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of
each of FIS and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Metavante, on the other hand,
made solely for the benefit of the other. The assertions embodied in those
representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential
disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing
the Merger Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that
modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties
set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and
warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk
between FIS and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Metavante, on the other hand.
Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the
Merger Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about FIS,
Metavante or Merger Sub.
