The Corporation chose not to use an alternative formula for a grant date valuation. AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND YEAR-END OPTION VALUES

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing compensation for the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer and its Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the "Executives"). In so doing, the Committee has developed and implemented compensation policies and programs which seek to enhance the long-term profitability of the Corporation, thereby contributing to the value of shareholders' investment. In addition to annual cash compensation, the Committee establishes criteria pursuant to which the Executives may also qualify for the award of options to acquire the Corporation's Common Stock at a price equal to market value on the date of grant. Awards are based 75% on growth in earnings per share ("EPS") and 25% on revenue growth. If revenue growth percentage exceeds that for EPS, the EPS growth percentage will replace revenue growth percentage in determining awards. The range of growth used to calculate awards is from 10% to 25% and the maximum annual award to any executive is 100,000 shares, which the proposed amendment and restatement would raise to 300,000 shares. In the event that the Corporation's shareholders adopt the proposal to amend the Corporation's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan to permit the issuance of incentive stock options, such options would also be available for issuance to the Executives. The Corporation currently has no plans to issue incentive stock options. Based upon the Corporation's performance over the past five years when compared to companies comprising the S&P 500 and its S&P industry group, it appears that the level of executive compensation is commensurate with that which is being paid to senior executives by other companies in similar businesses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Deloitte & Touche LLP, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has been proposed for reappointment as the Corporation's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 1996, pursuant to the recommendation of the Board of Directors. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be present at the meeting with an opportunity to make a statement if so desired and to answer appropriate questions with respect to that firm's audit of the Corporation's financial statements and records for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposal. 3. PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation presently authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 44,887,613 were outstanding as of January 22, 1996, and 2,434,350 shares were reserved as of such date for issuance upon the exercise of options issued by the Corporation. Consequently, only 27,678,037 shares of Common Stock are available to be used for any other purposes, including stock splits. Therefore, the Board of Directors has proposed an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000. Except for shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, none of the shares of Common Stock which would be authorized if this proposal is adopted by the shareholders have been earmarked for any specific purpose, but any future issuance of such shares could be authorized by the Board of Directors without obtaining shareholder approval. The approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the amendment is required to adopt the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposed increase in authorized shares of Common Stock. 4. PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE CORPORATION Presently, the legal name of the Corporation is FIserv, Inc., whereas in most correspondence, marketing materials, and similar items the name "Fiserv, Inc." (with a lower case "i") is used. It is therefore proposed that the name of the Corporation be changed to Fiserv, Inc. The approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the amendment is required to adopt the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposed change in the name of the Corporation. 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT STOCK PLANS The Corporation currently has three employee benefit stock plans pursuant to which eligible employees, officers and directors of the Corporation may acquire shares of Common Stock: the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, the Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Purchase Plan. If the shareholders approve the proposed amendment to and restatement of the Corporation's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (which will then be referred to as the "Fiserv, Inc. Stock Option Plan"), this Plan will become the Corporation's principal stock-related employee benefit plan. There are presently 20,280 options outstanding under the Incentive Stock Option Plan. Because the period during which options under the Incentive Stock Option Plan may be granted has expired, the Corporation is unable to award additional options under this Plan. Although the Corporation has no current intention of issuing incentive stock options in the foreseeable future, if the proposed amendment to the Non- Qualified Stock Option Plan is approved, it would provide the flexibility to grant incentive stock options ("ISOs") under that Plan. There has been no activity in the Corporation's Restricted Stock Option Plan for several years, and there is no present intention to award shares under this Plan. On February 27, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, amendments to the FIserv, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which will be renamed the "Fiserv, Inc. Stock Option Plan" that, among other things, will increase by 4,000,000 shares the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and provide for the issuance of ISOs. The Plan is designed to provide an incentive to key employees of the Corporation and to offer an additional inducement in obtaining the services of such persons. It also serves as an inducement to non-employee Directors of the Corporation who may be awarded options to purchase 250 shares of Common Stock under the Plan for each meeting the non-employee Director attends and 10,000 options each time he or she is elected to the Corporation's Board of Directors. The following summary of certain material features of the Plan, as it is proposed to be amended, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, a copy of which is set forth as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. All references to the Plan contained in this summary are references to the Plan as proposed to be amended. Shares Subject to the Plan and Eligibility The Plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided below) to employees (including officers and directors who are employees) and non-employee Directors of the Corporation. Upon expiration, cancellation or termination of unexercised options granted under the Plan, the shares of Common Stock subject to such options will again be available for the grant of options under the Plan. Type of Options Options granted under the plan may be either ISOs, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or non-qualified stock options which do not qualify as ISOs ("NQSOs"). Administration The Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") consisting of at least three members of the Board, each of whom is a "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and also an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee members are currently those persons listed on page 7. Among other things, the Committee is empowered to determine in accordance with various Plan provisions: (i) the persons to whom options are granted; (ii) the times on which options are granted; (iii) whether an option will be an ISO or a NQSO; (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a particular option and the option price therefor; (v) the term of each option; (vi) the time and conditions under which an option may be exercised in whole or in part; (vii) the form of consideration that may be used by the optionee to purchase shares upon exercise of any option; (viii) whether shares issued upon the exercise of an option are subject to certain restrictions or to repurchase by the Corporation; (ix) whether to accelerate the exercise date of any option; (x) any applicable withholding; (xi) the fair market value of shares of the Common Stock subject to an option; (xii) subject to certain conditions, whether to cancel or modify an option with the consent of the optionee; and (xiii) any other terms and conditions of the option not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. The Committee is also authorized to interpret the terms of the Plan and to adopt regulations relating to the Plan that are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The determination of the Committee with respect to such matters is conclusive and binding. Terms and Conditions of Options Options granted under the Plan are subject to, among other things, the following terms and conditions: (a) The option price of an option (other than an option granted to a non- employee Director) shall be fixed by the Committee, except that in the case of an ISO, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the shares subject to the option on the date it is granted. In the event that the optionee owns or is deemed to own 10% of the voting power of the Corporation's shares, then the exercise price of the option may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date it is granted. (b) Options are not transferable during the optionee's lifetime, and during his or her lifetime may only be exercised by the optionee. (c) Options (other than options granted to non-employee Directors) may be granted for terms determined by the Committee, except that the term of an ISO may not exceed ten years (five years if the optionee owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the voting power of the Corporation's shares). (d) Each non-employee Director is granted an option to purchase 250 shares following each Board meeting which he or she attends. In addition, following each annual meeting at which he or she is elected a Director of the Corporation, the non-employee Director will be granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares. The term of each non-employee Director option is ten years, and the option price is the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The option becomes exercisable ratably over the first five years, subject to acceleration in the event that the non-employee Director is terminated as a Director within 36 months following the acquisition by a person or group of persons of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the holder ceases to be a Director of the Corporation for any reason, the option may not be exercised more than 30 days after the date he or she ceases to be a Director. (e) Appropriate arrangements may be specified with respect to any federal, state, local or other tax withholding which is required in connection with the options. (f) The maximum number of shares for which options may be granted to a person in any fiscal year is 300,000. The aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which ISOs may be granted to a person which are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Any option granted in excess of such amount is treated as a NQSO. (g) No fractional shares of Common Stock may be exercised or acquired under the Plan. Adjustments in the Event of Capital Changes In the event the number of shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Corporation through reorganization, merger or consolidation, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, declaration of any Common Stock dividends or similar events, the number and kind of shares of stock and the price per share subject to the unexercised portion of any option, the number and kind of shares of stock subject to the Plan and the maximum number of shares which may be granted to a person in any fiscal year is to be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors. Duration and Amendment of the Plan No ISO may be granted under the Plan after February 27, 2006. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan from time to time, except that without majority shareholder approval no amendment may increase the maximum number of shares with respect to which options may be granted under the Plan (except in the case of the events for which adjustment authority has been granted to the Board of Directors as described above), materially increase the benefits accruing to optionees under the Plan or change the eligibility requirements for optionees. Federal Income Tax Treatment The following is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences under current tax law of NQSOs and ISOs. It does not purport to cover all the special rules, including special rules relating to optionees subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the exercise of an option with previously-acquired shares, or the state or local income or other tax consequences inherent in the ownership and exercise of stock options and the ownership and disposition of the underlying shares. An optionee will not recognize taxable income for federal income tax purposes upon the grant of a NQSO or ISO. Upon the exercise of a NQSO, the optionee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price thereof, and the Corporation will generally be entitled to a deduction for such amount at that time. If the optionee later sells shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a NQSO, he or she will recognize long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the period for which the shares were held. Long-term capital gain is generally subject to more favorable tax treatment than ordinary income or short-term capital gain. Proposed legislation, if adopted, would treat long- term capital gain even more favorably. Upon the exercise of an ISO, the optionee will not recognize taxable income. If the optionee disposes of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO more than two years after the date of grant and more than one year after the transfer of the shares to him or her, the optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss and the Corporation will not be entitled to a deduction. However, if the optionee disposes of such shares within the required holding period, all or a portion of the gain will be treated as ordinary income and the Corporation will generally be entitled to deduct such amount. In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, an optionee may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. The approval of a majority of outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote is required to approve the amendment and restatement of the Fiserv, Inc. Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposal. 1996 SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS The deadline for shareholders to submit proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is expected to be October 11, 1996.

FISERV, INC. STOCK OPTION PLAN (as amended through February 27, 1996) Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Fiserv, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to promote the interest of Fiserv, Inc. (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries (the Company and each such Subsidiary being herein each referred to as a "Fiserv Group Company") by (a) providing an incentive to employees, and to directors who are not employees, of the Fiserv Group Companies which will attract, retain and motivate persons who are able to make important contributions to the Company's growth, profitability and long-term success, and (b) furthering the identity of the Optionees with those of the Company's stockholders through stock ownership opportunities. Options to be issued under the Plan may be "incentive stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or "non-qualified stock options" ("NQSOs"), which do not qualify as "incentive stock options" ("ISOs"), but the Company makes no representation or warranty as to the qualification of any Option as an incentive stock option under the Code. Section 2. Definitions. For purposes of this Plan, the following terms used herein shall have the following meanings, unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context. 2.1 "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 2.2 "Committee" shall mean the committee of the Board of Directors referred to in Section 5 hereof. 2.3 "Common Stock" shall mean the Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company. 2.4 "Non-Employee Director" shall mean a person who is a director of the Company, but is not an employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent. 2.5 "Non-Employee Director Option" shall mean a NQSO granted pursuant to the Plan to a person who, at the time of the grant, is a Non-Employee Director. 2.6 "Option" shall mean any option granted to a person pursuant to this Plan. 2.7 "Optionee" shall mean a person to whom an Option is granted under this Plan. 2.8 "Parent" shall mean a "parent corporation" as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code. 2.9 "Subsidiary" shall mean a "subsidiary corporation" as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code. Section 3. Eligible Optionees. 3.1 Options may be granted hereunder to any employee of any Fiserv Group Company. The Committee shall have the sole authority to select employees to whom Options are to be granted hereunder. 3.2 Every individual who is a Non-Employee Director shall be granted a Non-Employee Director Option to purchase 250 shares of Common Stock immediately following every meeting of the Board of Directors which he or she attended. In addition, immediately following each annual meeting of shareholders at which such Non-Employee Director is elected, such Non-Employee Director shall be granted a Non-Employee Director Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock. In the event the remaining shares available for grant under the Plan are not sufficient to grant the Non-Employee Director Options to each such Non-Employee Director at any time, the number of shares subject to the Non-Employee Director Options to be granted at such time shall be reduced proportionately. The Committee shall not have any discretion with respect to the selection of directors to receive Non-Employee Director Options or the amount, the price or the timing with respect thereto. A Non-Employee Director shall not be entitled to receive any options under the Plan other than Non-Employee Director Options. Section 4. Common Stock Subject to the Plan; Special Limitations. 4.1 The total number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted under this Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 4,100,000 shares of Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted under this Plan in any one fiscal year of the Company to any one person shall not exceed in the aggregate 300,000 shares of Common Stock. 4.2 The shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Options granted under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares reacquired at any time and now or hereafter held as treasury stock as the Board of Directors may determine. In the event that any outstanding Option expires or is cancelled or terminated for any reason, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option may again be subject to an Option granted under this Plan. Section 5. Administration of the Plan. 5.1 The Plan shall be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") and shall consist of not less than three directors. All members of the Committee shall be both "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present and the acts approved in writing by all members without a meeting shall be the acts of the Committee. 5.2 The Committee shall have the sole authority and discretion to grant Options under this Plan and to determine the terms and conditions of any such Option, including, without limitation, the sole authority and discretion (i) to select the persons who are to be granted Options hereunder, (ii) to determine the times when Options shall be granted, (iii) to determine whether an Option will be an ISO or a NQSO, (iv) to establish the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under each Option and to establish the option price therefor, (v) to determine the term of each Option, (vi) to determine the time and the conditions subject to which Options may be exercised in whole or in part, (vii) to determine the form of consideration that may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any Option (including the circumstances under which the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock may be used by an Optionee to exercise an Option), (viii) to determine whether to restrict the sale or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an option (including the circumstances under which shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of any Option may be subject to repurchase by the Company) and, if so, whether to waive any such restriction, (ix) to accelerate the time when outstanding Options may be exercised, (x) to determine the amount, if any, necessary to satisfy the Fiserv Group Company's obligation to withhold taxes or other amounts, (xi) to determine the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, (xii) with the consent of the Optionee, to cancel or modify an Option, provided, however, that such Option as modified would have been permitted to have been granted under the Plan on the date of grant of the original Option and provided, further, however, that in the case of a modification (within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code) of an ISO, such Option as modified would be permitted to be granted on the date of such modification under the terms of the Plan, and (xiii) to establish any other terms and conditions applicable to any Option and to make all other determinations relating to the Plan and Options not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan. 5.3 The Committee shall be authorized to interpret the Plan and may, from time to time, adopt such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as it may deem advisable to carry out the purpose of this Plan. 5.4 The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan, any Option granted hereunder or any option agreement evidencing any such Option shall be final and conclusive upon all parties. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan or any Option shall be determined unilaterally by the Committee, whose determination shall be final and conclusive upon all parties. 5.5 Members of the Committee may vote on any matter affecting the administration of the Plan or any agreement or the granting of Options under the Plan. 5.6 All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Board of Directors (or the Committee) in the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company. The Board of Directors (or the Committee) may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants or other persons in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. No member or former member of the Board of Directors (or the Committee) shall be liable for any action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option or agreement hereunder. Section 6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Subject to the Plan, the terms and conditions of each Option granted under the Plan shall be specified by the Committee and shall be set forth in an option agreement between the Company and the Optionee in such form as the Committee shall approve. The terms and conditions of any Option granted hereunder need not be identical to those of any other Option granted hereunder. The terms and conditions of each Option shall include the following: (a) The option price shall be fixed by the Committee, provided, however, that in the case of an ISO, the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted, and provided, further, however, that if at the time an ISO is granted, the Optionee owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent, the option price of such ISO shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to such ISO on the date of grant. The option price of the shares of Common Stock subject to each Non-Employee Director Option shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option on the date of grant. (b) Options shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distributions, and during an Optionee's lifetime, an option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's legal guardian. (c) The Committee shall fix the term of all Options (other than the Non- Employee Director Options) granted pursuant to the Plan (including the date on which such Option shall expire and the conditions under which it terminates earlier), provided, however, that the term of an ISO may not exceed ten years from the date such Option is granted, and provided, further, however, that if at the time an ISO is granted, the Optionee owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent, the term of such ISO may not exceed five years from the date of grant. Each Option (other than a Non-Employee Director Option) shall be exercisable in such amount or amounts, under such conditions, and at such times or intervals or in such installments as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish a vesting provision for any Option (other than a Non-Employee Director Option) relating to the time or the circumstances when the Option may be exercised by the Optionee. (d) Subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided, each Non- Employee Director Option shall be exercisable for a term of ten years commencing on the date of grant. A Non-Employee Director Option shall vest and become exercisable as to 20% of the aggregate number of shares subject to the Non-Employee Director Option on the first anniversary of the date of grant and as to an additional 20% on each of the next four anniversaries of such date, provided, however, that all Non-Employee Director Options shall vest immediately if the Non- Employee Director is terminated as a director of the Company within 36 months following the acquisition by a person or persons acting in concert (i.e., a "group" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. The Non-Employee Director Option shall terminate 30 days after the Optionee shall cease to be a director of the Company (but not after the date the Option would otherwise expire), provided, however, that if the Non-Employee Director is terminated as a director of the Company for cause, such Non-Employee Director Option shall terminate immediately. The Non- Employee Director Option shall not be affected by the Optionee becoming an employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent. (e) In the event that any Fiserv Group Company is required to withhold any Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in respect of any income realized by the Optionee in respect of an Option granted hereunder, in respect of any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option or in respect of the disposition of an Option or any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Company may deduct (or require the Fiserv Group Company to deduct) from any payments of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee the aggregate amount of such Federal, state or local taxes and other amounts required to be so withheld. Alternatively, the Company may require such Optionee to pay to the Company in cash, promptly on demand, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment to the Company of, the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts. (f) The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock for which an eligible employee may be granted ISOs under the Plan or any other plan of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Parent which are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. Such limitation shall be applied by taking ISOs into account in the order in which they were granted. Any Option (or portion thereof) granted in excess of such amount shall be treated as an NQSO. (g) In no case may a fraction of a share be exercised or acquired pursuant to the Plan. Section 7. Adjustments. In the event that, after the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors, the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock shall be increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company through reorganization, merger or consolidation, recapitalization, stock split, split- up, combination, exchange of shares, declaration of any dividends payable in Common Stock or the like, the number and kind of shares of stock and the price per share subject to the unexercised portion of any outstanding Option, the number and kind of shares of Stock subject to the Plan and the maximum number of shares which may be granted to a person in any fiscal year shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, and such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan. Such adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional shares which might otherwise be subject to Options without payment therefor. Section 8. Effect of the Plan on Employment Relationship. Neither this Plan nor any Option granted hereunder shall be construed as conferring upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of any Fiserv Group Company or limit in any respect any right of any Fiserv Group Company to terminate such Optionee's employment at any time without liability. Section 9. Amendment of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan from time to time as it deems desirable, provided, however, that, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at any meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin, the Board of Directors may not (a) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted under this Plan (other than increases due to adjustment in accordance with Section 7 hereof), (b) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan or (c) change the eligibility requirements to receive Options hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions regarding the selection of directors for participation in, and the amount, the price or the timing of, Non-Employee Director Options shall not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. Section 10. Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time. No Option may be granted hereunder after termination of the Plan. No ISO may be granted under the Plan more than ten years after the date on which the Plan was adopted. The termination or amendment of the Plan shall not alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Optionee. Section 11. Effective Date of the Plan. This Plan (as amended and restated) will become effective on the date on which it is approved by the Board of Directors. This Plan (as amended and restated) is subject to approval by the holders of the majority of the outstanding stock of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at the next meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin. No Option granted hereunder may be exercised prior to such approval, provided, however, that the date of grant of any Option shall be determined as if the Plan had not been subject to such approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Plan (as amended and restated) is not approved by a vote of shareholders within 12 months after it is adopted by the Board of Directors, the amendment shall be null and void, the Plan as in effect prior to such amendment and restatement shall continue in full force and effect and any Options granted pursuant to such amendment and restatement shall terminate. Section 12. Governing Law. This Plan, the Options and all related matters shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to choice of law provisions. Neither the Plan nor any agreement pursuant to the Plan shall be construed or interpreted with any presumption against any Fiserv Group Company by reason of the Fiserv Group Company having drafted or adopted the Plan or agreement. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision in the Plan or in any agreement pursuant to the Plan shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision, all of which shall be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
