Such registration statement, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“ Rule  430 Information ”), is referred to herein as the “ Registration Statement ”; and as used herein, the term “ Base Prospectus ” means the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness, the term “ Preliminary Prospectus ” means each preliminary prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities, filed together with the Base Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), and the term “ Prospectus ” means the prospectus supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be and any reference to “ amend ,” “ amendment ” or “ supplement ” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “ Exchange Act ”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection

 

21


with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

b. Indemnification of the Company . Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of (i) the third paragraph, (ii) the third and fourth sentences of the sixth paragraph, (iii) the seventh paragraph, (iv) the first sentence of the eighth paragraph, (v) the ninth paragraph and (vi) the tenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.

c. Notice and Procedures . If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person), and,

 

22


after notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by the Indemnified Person of counsel, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this Section 7 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to one local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company and its directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

d. Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the

 

23


Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

e. Limitation on Liability . The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

f. Non-Exclusive Remedies . The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement . This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination . This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the NYSE or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

 

24


10. Defaulting Underwriter.

a. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

b. If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

c. If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

d. Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

 

25


11. Payment of Expenses.

a. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the reproduction or distribution thereof; (iii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (iv) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (v) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (vii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (viii) any transfer taxes payable in connection with the initial sale of the Securities to the Underwriters; and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section. Except as provided in this Section 11(a), and Sections 7 and 11(b) hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, any advertising expenses connected with any offers of the Securities that they may make and transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by them.

b. If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of such Securities except as provided in this Section and Section 7 hereof.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival . The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.

 

26


14. Certain Defined Terms . For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

15. Compliance with USA Patriot Act . In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

WHEREAS, the Company, certain other parties thereto and the Trustee entered into an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of April 15, 2013, pursuant to which the Company may issue Securities from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue and establish a new series of Securities in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture pursuant to this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture (the Base Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”); and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, it is mutually covenanted and agreed as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Definitions . Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings given them in the Base Indenture, provided that references to “this Indenture”, “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of a similar import in the Base Indenture shall be deemed to be a reference to the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture. Any references to “Article” or “Section” herein shall be a reference to an article or section of this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture unless expressly specified otherwise. For purposes of this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below, notwithstanding any contrary definition in the Base Indenture.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes (as hereinafter defined) is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any Rating Agency).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of


the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company and its Subsidiaries; (2) the approval by the holders of the Company’s common stock of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company (whether or not otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture); (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s voting stock; or (4) the Company consolidates or merges with or into any entity, pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or such other entity is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property (except when voting stock of the Company constitutes, or is converted into, or exchanged for, at least a majority of the voting stock of the surviving person).

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes (assuming for this purpose that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (as defined in Section 2.6)).

“Comparable Treasury Price” of a Comparable Treasury Issue means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

 

  (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

“Moody’s” shall have the meaning given such term in the Base Indenture.

“Rating Agencies” means each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P, so long as such entity makes a rating of the Notes publicly available; provided, however, if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the Company shall be allowed to designate a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(e)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for the agency that ceased to make such a rating publicly available. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Company to pay rating agency fees to make a rating of the Notes shall not be a “reason outside of the control of the Company” for the purposes of the preceding sentence.

“Reference Treasury Dealers” means each of: (i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (or their respective successors); (ii) a primary U.S. government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by each of MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments Inc.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc.

- 3 -


week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal amount, equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date.

Interest on this Security will accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from, and including, May 16, 2018, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the date on which the principal hereof has been paid or made available for payment, as the case may be.

WHEREAS, the Company, certain other parties thereto and the Trustee entered into an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of April 15, 2013, pursuant to which the Company may issue Securities from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue and establish a new series of Securities in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture pursuant to this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture (the Base Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”); and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, it is mutually covenanted and agreed as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Definitions . Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings given them in the Base Indenture, provided that references to “this Indenture”, “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of a similar import in the Base Indenture shall be deemed to be a reference to the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture. Any references to “Article” or “Section” herein shall be a reference to an article or section of this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture unless expressly specified otherwise.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes (as hereinafter defined) is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any Rating Agency).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of


the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company and its Subsidiaries; (2) the approval by the holders of the Company’s common stock of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company (whether or not otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture); (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s voting stock; or (4) the Company consolidates or merges with or into any entity, pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or such other entity is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property (except when voting stock of the Company constitutes, or is converted into, or exchanged for, at least a majority of the voting stock of the surviving person).

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

  (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

“Moody’s” shall have the meaning given such term in the Base Indenture.

“Rating Agencies” means each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P, so long as such entity makes a rating of the Notes publicly available; provided, however, if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the Company shall be allowed to designate a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(e)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for the agency that ceased to make such a rating publicly available. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Company to pay rating agency fees to make a rating of the Notes shall not be a “reason outside of the control of the Company” for the purposes of the preceding sentence.

“Reference Treasury Dealers” means each of: (i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (or their respective successors); (ii) a primary U.S. government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by each of MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments Inc.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc.

- 3 -


week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal amount, equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, Fidelity National Financial, Inc., Black Knight InfoServ, LLC (formerly known as Lender Processing Services, Inc.), and each of their respective subsidiaries, shall not be deemed to be Affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries solely due to overlapping officers or directors.

“Credit Agreement” means the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 10, 2016, among the Company, J.P.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Securities of the same series as this Security, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Outstanding Securities of that series shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any declaration or act by the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities or any other party.

  Re: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
       4.250% Senior Notes due 2028 and 4.750% Senior Notes due 2048

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “ Company ”) in connection with the issuance and sale of $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “ 2028 Notes ”) and $600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.750% Senior Notes due 2048 (the “ 2048 Notes ” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “ Securities ”), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated May 14, 2018 (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”), among the Company and the underwriters listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “ Underwriters ”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 15, 2013 (the “ Base Indenture ”), among the Company, certain other parties thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Trustee ”), as amended by a Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2018 relating to the 2028 Notes (the “ Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture ”) and as amended by a Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2018 relating to the 2048 Notes (the “ Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture ”, and together with the Base Indenture and the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, the “ Indenture ”).

The offer and sale of the Securities is being made pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “ Registration Statement ”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-212372), relating to the Securities and other securities, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), including the prospectus supplement, dated May 14, 2018 (the “ Prospectus Supplement ”), filed by the Company with the Commission on May 15, 2018. This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

We have examined (a) the Registration Statement; (b) the Prospectus Supplement; (c) an executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement; (d) a copy of the certificate, dated May 16, 2018, representing the 2028 Notes; (e) a copy of the certificates, dated May 16, 2018, representing the 2048 Notes; and (f) an executed copy of the Indenture. In addition, we have examined the originals (or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of such other corporate records, agreements, instruments, certificates, and documents and have reviewed such questions of law and made such inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions rendered herein.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have also assumed that the books and records of the Company have been maintained in accordance with proper corporate procedures. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have, when the relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the documents referred to in clauses (a) through (f) and the aforesaid other agreements, instruments, certificates, documents and records, as well as upon statements and certificates of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials. We have assumed that such statements, and that the representations in such documents, agreements, instruments, certificates and records, are and will continue to be true and complete without regard to any qualification as to knowledge or belief.

We have also assumed for purposes of this opinion letter, without investigation, that: (i) each of the parties to the Indenture and the Securities (collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”) and each person executing and delivering any of the Transaction Documents by or on behalf of any such party, has the full power, authority and legal capacity (including the taking of all requisite action) to execute, deliver and perform, or cause the performance of, as the case may be, such party’s obligations under the Transaction Documents; (ii) each of the parties to any of the Transaction Documents has been duly formed and organized and each of such parties is validly existing and, if applicable, in good standing, in the respective jurisdiction of its formation; (iii) each of the parties to any of the Transaction Documents has duly authorized, executed and delivered each such Transaction Document; (iv) the execution and delivery by any party of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents, does not and will not contravene, conflict with, violate, or result in a breach of or default under any law, rule, regulation, resolution, guideline, interpretation, restriction, limitation, policy, procedure, ordinance, order, writ, judgment, decree, determination, or ruling applicable to such party, or to the property of such party; (v) any authorization, approval, consent, waiver, or other action by, notice to, or filing, qualification, or declaration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or body or other person required for the due execution, delivery, or performance of any of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance and sale of the Securities, by or on behalf of any of the parties to any such Transaction Document has been obtained or made; and (vi) any litigation relating to the Transaction Documents will be brought before a New York State court or a United States federal court sitting in New York.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that when the certificates representing the Securities have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and the Securities have been delivered by the Company to the Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles of equity, regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 15, 2013 (the “ Base Indenture ”) between FIS and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by a Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 16, 2018 relating to the 2028 Notes (the “ Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture ”) and a Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 16, 2018 relating to the 2048 Notes (the “ Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture ” and, together with the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, the “ Indenture ”).

The offer and sale of the Securities is being made pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “ Registration Statement ”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-212372), relating to the Securities and other securities, filed by FIS with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), including the prospectus supplement dated May 14, 2018 (the “ Prospectus Supplement ”), and the accompanying prospectus filed by FIS with the Commission.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies. Also, in examining executed documents for the purposes of the opinions expressed in this opinion letter, we have assumed that: (i) each entity other than FIS is validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent) as a corporation, limited liability company or other applicable legal entity under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver such documents to which it is a party and to carry out and consummate all transactions contemplated to be performed by such documents; (ii) each entity other than FIS has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of such documents to which it is a party and has, in fact, duly executed and delivered such documents to which it is a party; (iii) such documents (including, without limitation, the Indenture and all documents related thereto) constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each party thereto (other than FIS), enforceable in accordance with their respective terms; and (iv) all natural persons who are signatories to such documents were legally competent at the time of their execution thereof. Our opinions expressed in this opinion letter with respect to the due organization, existence and good standing of FIS are based solely upon a certificate issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, and are limited to the meaning ascribed to such certificate in such State and limited to the date thereof.

We express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with or effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the substantive laws (excluding choice of law rules) of the State of Georgia.

We express no opinion concerning the contents of the Registration Statement or any related prospectus. The opinions in this opinion letter are limited to laws (including, without limitation, rules and regulations thereunder), as in effect on the date of this opinion letter, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect. We have no obligation to update or supplement the opinions in this opinion letter to reflect any changes in law that may hereafter occur or become effective. We also have assumed that the constitutionality or validity of a relevant statute, rule, regulation or agency action is not in issue unless a reported decision in the State of Georgia has established its unconstitutionality or invalidity.

Based upon and subject to the limitations, assumptions and qualifications set forth in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1. FIS has been duly organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Georgia and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of such State. FIS has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture. The execution and delivery of the Indenture and the performance by FIS of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of FIS. The opinions expressed in this paragraph 1 are limited to the Georgia Business Corporation Code.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an Exhibit to FIS’s Current Report on Form 8-K on or about the date hereof and to the incorporation of this opinion letter into the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement that is a part of the Registration Statement.
