shall be governed exclusively by Sections 2.1 or 2.2 and the Intercompany Data

Section 4.7. Mutual Obligations.
(a) The parties agree and acknowledge that, in addition to the rights
granted or to be granted to the parties herein, certain other rights to software
source code, object code and documentation, and trademarks and service marks
related thereto, are described on Exhibit M.
(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Closing Date, the UK
mainframe environment, consisting of mainframe computer hardware ("Mainframe
Hardware") and certain third party software ("OEM Software"), currently consists
of three (3) logical partitions ("LPARs"), two (2) of which are shared between
Equifax and Certegy. The parties acknowledge and agree that certain OEM Software
("MIPS-Based Software") being used on the Mainframe Hardware contains
limitations based upon the number of millions of instructions per second
("MIPS") performed; other OEM Software ("CPU-Based Software") being used on the
Mainframe Hardware contains limitations based upon CPU group ratings. The
parties also acknowledge and agree that they have previously determined the
number of MIPS available, for each party, in excess of the current combined MIPS
usage, in connection with the MIPS-Based Software ("Projected MIPS"), and in
connection with the CPU-Based Software ("Overhead MIPS"), both as set forth on
Exhibit N. With respect to the foregoing, the parties hereby agree as follows:
(i) Certegy agrees that it shall, no later than March 31, 2002,
establish, or cause to be established, one or more new and separate LPAR(s) and
that Certegy shall no longer share any LPAR with Equifax. Certegy shall be
responsible for paying any and all additional software license fees, service
fees, fees related to hardware, or other similar fees incurred to establish the
new LPAR(s) and to migrate from the existing to the new LPAR(s). Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if the deadline for LPAR separation
is not met by Certegy prior to March 31, 2002, any costs or fees, including all
fees, costs or expenses incurred as a result of
18
increased capacity or speed requirements or otherwise, incurred by either party
due to the non-separation shall be borne by Certegy.
(ii) If either party, prior to or at the time of the complete
separation of LPARs (described in subsection (i) above), exceeds its respective
Projected MIPS for any year, and, thereafter, any of the MIPS-Based Software is
required, under the terms of the respective software licenses, to be upgraded to
allow usage of the additional MIPS, the party first exceeding its respective
Projected MIPS ("Triggering Party") shall bear the full cost and expense of
upgrading the MIPS-Based Software licenses (whether or not such party ultimately
caused the MIPS limitations to be exceeded). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
any time after an upgrade to a MIPS-Based Software license is purchased, if the
non-Triggering Party exceeds its Projected MIPS during a respective year, such
non-Triggering Party shall pay the Triggering Party an amount equal to the total
cost to the Triggering Party of purchasing the upgrade multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of MIPS used by the non-Triggering Party
that exceeds its original Projected MIPS, and the denominator of which is the
total number of MIPS permitted or allowable pursuant to the MIPS-Based Software
upgrade, but excluding the total number of MIPS permitted prior to the upgrade.
(iii) If either party, prior to or at the time of the complete
separation of LPARs (described in subsection (i) above), exceeds its respective
Overhead MIPS for any year, and, thereafter, the CPU-Based Software is required,
under the terms of the respective software licenses, to be upgraded to allow
usage of the additional MIPS, the party first exceeding its respective Overhead
MIPS ("CPU Triggering Party") shall bear the full cost and expense of upgrading
the CPU-Based Software licenses (whether or not such party ultimately caused the
MIPS limitations to be exceeded). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time
after an upgrade to a CPU-Based Software license is purchased, if the other
party ("non-CPU Triggering Party") exceeds its Overhead MIPS during a respective
year, such non-CPU Triggering Party shall pay the CPU Triggering Party an amount
equal to the total cost to the CPU Triggering Party of purchasing the upgrade
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of MIPS used by
the non-CPU Triggering Party that exceeds its original Overhead MIPS, and the
denominator of which is the total number of MIPS permitted or allowable pursuant
to the CPU-Based Software upgrade, but excluding the total number of MIPS
permitted prior to the upgrade.
(iv) The rules related to OEM Software upgrade requirements described
in subsections (ii) and (iii) above shall apply in the same manner, before or
after the completion of the LPAR separation, with respect to Mainframe Hardware
upgrade requirements.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Certegy shall cease the use of any
software or hardware that is shared between the parties no later than the date
which is two (2) years following the Closing Date.
(c) The parties acknowledge that the Licensed Materials are "intellectual
property" within the meaning of Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act and
shall be subject to Section 365(n) thereof, all as set forth in the Intellectual
Property Bankruptcy Protection Act, Public Law 100-506, 102 Stat. 2538.
19
(d) In full and complete payment of the licenses granted in this Agreement,
the parties have made the payment described in the Distribution Agreement as set
forth in the Distribution Agreement.
(e) Each party shall notify the other party of any involuntary attachment
or other judicial process affecting the Licensed Materials.

INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES
Section 8.1. Notice and Payment of Claims.
If any Equifax Indemnitee or Certegy Indemnitee (the "Indemnified Party")
determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by a party (the
"Indemnifying Party") under Article VII (other than in connection with any
Action or claim subject to Section 8.2), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to
the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably
practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and the amount for
which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be
indemnified. After the Indemnifying Party shall have been notified of the amount
for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying Party
shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, pay the Indemnified
Party such amount in cash or other immediately available funds (or reach
agreement with the Indemnified Party as to a mutually agreeable alternative
payment schedule) unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for
indemnification or the amount thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not give
the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to such claim and setting forth
the grounds therefor within the same thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying
Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for such claim and the
Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to
collect such amount. Any amount owed under this Section 8.1 that is past due
shall bear interest at a simple rate of interest per annum equal to the lesser
of 1% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law.

(a) Promptly following the earlier of (i) receipt of notice of the
commencement by a third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any
Indemnified Party, or (ii) receipt of information from a third party alleging
the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party,
22
with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement
(a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as
provided in this Section 8.2(a) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall by giving written
notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (i) acknowledge, as between the parties
hereto, liability for and, at its option, elect to assume the defense of such
Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense, or (ii) object to the claim of
indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.2(a) setting forth the grounds
therefor; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within the same
thirty (30) day period give the Indemnified Party written notice acknowledging
liability or objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged, as between the parties
hereto, its liability for such Third Party Claim.
(b) Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party
has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by
the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such
proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the
Indemnified Party's sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise
the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided
that the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such settlement pursuant to
which any such remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the
Indemnifying Party shall be responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or
against the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party
Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under Article
VII, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on
a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending
against such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the
result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying
Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the
Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within fifteen (15)
days after the final resolution of such Third Party Claim (whether by
settlement, compromise, or by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim
as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within
fifteen (15) days after the Indemnifying Party's objection has been resolved by
settlement, compromise, or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall either Equifax or
Certegy, or any Member of their respective Group, have any liability, whether
based on contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence or strict
liability), warranty or any other legal or equitable
23
grounds, for any punitive, consequential, indirect, exemplary, special or
incidental loss or damage suffered by the other arising from or related to this
Agreement, including without limitation, loss of data, profits, interest or
revenue, or interruption of business, even if such party has been informed of or
might otherwise anticipated or foreseen the possibility of such losses or
damages; provided, however, that such limitations shall not apply to liabilities
which may arise as the result of willful misconduct of a party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any damages awarded or obtained (whether by settlement,
compromise or judgment) as a result of Third Party Claims shall be considered
direct damages for purposes of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 9.1. Exclusions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
"Company Information" does not include any information that before being
divulged by the receiving party (a) has become generally known to the public
through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (b) has been rightfully received
by the receiving party from a third party without restriction on disclosure and
without, to the knowledge of the receiving party, a breach of an obligation of
confidentiality running directly or indirectly to the disclosing party; (c) has
been approved for release to the general public by a written authorization of
the disclosing party; (d) has been independently developed by the receiving
party without use, directly or indirectly, of Company Information received from
the disclosing party; or (e) has been furnished to a third party by the
disclosing party without restrictions on the third party's rights to disclose
the information.
Section 9.2. Confidentiality.
(a) Each party acknowledges, and shall cause each member of the Group to
acknowledge, that it is in possession of significant confidential or proprietary
information concerning the business, operations and assets of the members of the
other Group.
(b) Each party shall, and shall ensure that each member of its Group shall,
(i) receive and hold the Company Information of the other Group in trust and in
strictest confidence; (ii) protect such Company Information from disclosure and
in no event take any action causing, or fail to take the action necessary in
order to prevent, any such Company Information to lose its character as Company
Information; (iii) exercise at a minimum the same care it would exercise to
protect its own highly confidential information; and (iv) not use, reproduce,
distribute, disclose, or otherwise disseminate the Company Information of the
other Group, (A) except as authorized pursuant to this Agreement or any Related
Agreement, or (B) except pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or
of law without similar restrictions or other protections against public
disclosure; provided, however, with respect to disclosures pursuant to (B)
above, the receiving party must first give written notice of such required
disclosure to the disclosing party, take reasonable steps to allow the
disclosing party to seek to protect the confidentiality of the Company
Information required to be disclosed, make a reasonable effort to obtain a
protective order requiring that the Company Information so disclosed be used
only for the purposes for which disclosure is required, and shall disclose only
that part of the Company Information
24
which, in the written opinion of its legal counsel, it is required to disclose.
In no event shall the receiving party exercise less than a reasonable standard
of care to keep confidential the Company Information. Any and all reproductions
of such Company Information must prominently contain a confidential legend.
(c) The receiving party may make disclosures of the Company Information of
the disclosing party only to Representatives of the receiving party's Group (i)
who have a specific need to know such information; and (ii) who the receiving
party has obligated under a written agreement to hold such Company Information
in trust and in strictest confidence and otherwise to comply with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or terms and conditions substantially similar to
and implementing the same restrictions and covenants as those set forth in this
Agreement. Certegy and Equifax agree, and shall ensure that each member of their
respective Group agrees, to diligently monitor each such Representative,
diligently enforce such agreements with its Representatives, and, upon request
by the other party, promptly to furnish to the other party a certified list of
the receiving party's Representatives having had access to such Company
Information.
(d) The covenants of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement (i) will
apply after the Closing Date to all Company Information disclosed to the
receiving party before, on and after the Closing Date and (ii) will continue and
must be maintained from the Closing Date through the termination of the
relationship under this Agreement between Equifax and Certegy (A) with respect
to Proprietary Information, the period during which the Proprietary Information
constituting a part of the Company Information retains its status as a "trade
secret" under applicable law; and (B) with respect to Confidential Information
constituting a part of the Company Information, for the shorter of a period
equal to three (3) years after the Closing Date, or until such Confidential
Information no longer qualifies as confidential under applicable law.
Section 9.3. Employee Confidentiality Agreements.
The members of each Group have entered into confidentiality and non-
disclosure agreements with their respective employees. To the extent that any
employee during or after employment violates any such agreement and such
violation is or may in the future be to the detriment of the other Group, at the
written request of the affected party, the other party shall, or shall cause the
appropriate members of its Group to, promptly bring and diligently pursue an
action against such employee if and to the extent reasonable under the
circumstances to preserve the value of the assets and Licensed Materials. The
Group member employing the employee violating his/her confidentiality and non-
disclosure agreement shall have the unilateral right to determine the forum for,
the manner of proceeding in, and legal counsel for such action and shall be
entitled to any damages or other relief against such employee awarded in such
action to the extent related to such Group's assets or business or to the
Licensed Materials. Such enforcement against and recovery by a Group member from
its breaching employee shall not constitute a release or sole remedy for the
members of the other Group injured by such breaching employee's actions, and
such members of the other Group may bring a claim against the Group members
employing the breaching employee for a breach of this Agreement. Each party
shall bear all out-of-pocket costs of pursuing such action and the other party
shall cooperate in connection therewith.
25
Section 9.4. Rights and Remedies.
(a) If either party, or any member of the Group, should breach or threaten
to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching party, in
addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, will be entitled
to a restraining order, injunction, or other similar remedy in order to
specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Each party specifically
acknowledges, and shall cause each member of its respective Group to
acknowledge, that money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the
injuries and damage that would be suffered and incurred by the non-breaching
party as a result of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. In the
event that either party, or a member of such party's Group, should seek an
injunction hereunder, the other party hereby waives, and shall cause each member
of its Group to waive, any requirement for the submission of proof of the
economic value of any Company Information or the posting of a bond or any other
security. In the event of a dispute between the parties, the non-prevailing
party shall pay all costs and expenses associated with resolving the dispute,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.
(b) The receiving party shall notify the disclosing party immediately upon
discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Information, or any
other breach of this Agreement by the receiving party or any Representative of
the receiving party's Group, and will cooperate with the disclosing party in
every reasonable way to help the disclosing party regain possession of its
Company Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure. The
receiving party shall be responsible for the acts of any Representative of its
Group that are in violation of this Agreement.
Section 9.5. Competitive Activities.
(a) Subject to the rights and obligations set forth in this Article IX,
each party understands and acknowledges that the other party's Group may now
market or have under development products that are competitive with products or
services now offered or that may be offered by it and/or members of its Group,
and the parties' communications hereunder will not serve to impair the right of
either party, or any member of its respective Group, to independently develop,
make, use, procure, or market products or services now or in the future that may
be competitive with those offered by the other party's Group, nor require either
party, and/or the members of its Group, to disclose any planning or other
information to the other party.
(b) Neither party will be restricted in using, in the development,
manufacturing and marketing of its products and services and its operations, any
data processing or network management or operation ideas, concepts, know-how and
techniques which are retained in the minds of employees who have had access to
the other party's Company Information subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Agreement.
Section 9.6. No Implied Rights.
Except as provided herein or in any Related Agreement, all Company
Information is and shall remain the property of the disclosing party and/or the
respective member of its Group. By disclosing Company Information to the
receiving
26
party's Group, the disclosing party and/or the members of its Group do(es) not
grant any express or implied rights or license to the receiving party's Group to
or under any patents, patent applications, inventions, copyrights, trademarks,
trade secret information, or other intellectual property rights heretofore or
hereafter possessed by the disclosing party and/or the members of its Group.
ARTICLE X
CONTINUED ASSISTANCE
Section 10.1. Continued Assistance and Transition.
(a) Following the Closing Date, Equifax shall, and shall cause each member
of the Equifax Group to, cooperate in an orderly transfer of the Transferred
Equifax Assets and the Transferred Equifax Third Party Agreements to Certegy or
the respective Designated Certegy Member. From time to time, at Certegy's
request and without further consideration, Equifax shall, and shall cause each
member of the Equifax Group, as applicable, to execute, acknowledge and deliver
such documents, instruments or assurances and take such other action as Certegy
may reasonably request to more effectively assign, convey and transfer any of
the Transferred Equifax Assets and the Transferred Equifax Third Party
Agreements. Equifax will assist Certegy in the vesting, collection or reduction
to possession of such Transferred Equifax Assets and Transferred Equifax Third
Party Agreements.
(b) Following the Closing Date, Certegy shall, and shall cause each member
of the Certegy Group to, cooperate in an orderly transfer of the Transferred
Certegy Assets and Transferred Certegy Third Party Agreements to Equifax or the
respective Designated Equifax Member. From time to time, at Equifax's request
and without further consideration, Certegy shall, and shall cause each member of
the Certegy Group, as applicable, to execute, acknowledge and deliver such
documents, instruments or assurances and take such other action as Equifax may
reasonably request to more effectively assign, convey and transfer any of the
Transferred Certegy Assets and Transferred Certegy Third Party Agreements.
Certegy will assist Equifax in the vesting, collection or reduction to
possession of such Transferred Certegy Assets and Transferred Certegy Third
Party Agreements.
Section 10.2. Records and Documents.
(a) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Equifax and Certegy
shall each arrange for the delivery to the other of existing corporate and other
documents (e.g. documents of title, source code, contracts, etc.) in its
possession relating to the Transferred Assets, Transferred Third Party
Agreements and assumed Liabilities.
(b) From and after the Closing Date, Equifax and Certegy shall each, and
shall cause each member of its Group to, afford the other and its accountants,
counsel and other designated Representatives reasonable access (including using
reasonable efforts to give access to person or firms possessing such
information) and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all records,
books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information in
its possession relating to the assets, Liabilities, Licensed Materials, business
and affairs of the other (other than data and information subject to any
attorney/client or other privilege), insofar as such
27
access is reasonably required by the other, including without limitation, for
audit, accounting and litigation purposes.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may destroy or otherwise
dispose of any information at any time in accordance with the corporate record
retention policy maintained by such party with respect to its own records.
Section 10.3. Litigation Cooperation.
Upon written request, Equifax and Certegy shall, and shall cause each
member of its Group to, use reasonable efforts to cooperate in the evaluation
and defense of third party Actions arising out of the business of the other
party or of any member of the other party's Group prior to the Distribution Date
in which the requesting party or any member of its Group may from time to time
be involved, at the cost and expense of the requesting party. Such cooperation
shall include, without limitation, making its Representatives available as
witnesses or consultants to the extent that such persons may reasonably be
required in connection with such third party Actions.
