ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

     On December 22, 2008, Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FNF”), through its title insurance underwriters, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of California (“FNTIC”), and Chicago Title Insurance Company, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Nebraska (“CTIC”), entered into an amended and restated stock purchase agreement with LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“LFG”) to further amend the terms of an existing stock purchase agreement among such parties, dated as of November 25, 2008 and as initially amended and restated as of December 12, 2008 (as further amended and restated, the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein are more fully discussed in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and, to the extent required by Item 1.01 of Form 8-K, the information contained in or incorporated by reference into Item 2.01 of this Current Report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

The Transaction

     On December 22, 2008, FNF completed the acquisition of LFG’s two principal title insurance underwriters, Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Nebraska (“Lawyers”), and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Nebraska (“Commonwealth”), as well as United Capital Title Insurance Company, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of California (“United”), pursuant to the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement described in Item 1.01 above.

     The total purchase price for Commonwealth and Lawyers was approximately $235,000,000. Under the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement, FNTIC and FNF acquired the capital stock of Lawyers from LFG and CTIC acquired the capital stock of Commonwealth from LFG for an aggregate purchase price equal to the sum of (i) $134,762,521 in cash, (ii) a 2.36% subordinated promissory note due 2013 (the “FNF Note”) issued by FNF in an initial principal amount equal to $50,000,000 (as more fully described in Item 2.03 below) and (iii) approximately $50,000,000 in FNF common stock (as more fully described in Item 3.02 below). In addition, pursuant to the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement, FNTIC acquired the capital stock of United from an indirect subsidiary of LFG for a purchase price of approximately $12 million, equal to an estimate (subject to post-closing adjustment) of the statutory net worth of United as of the closing. Prior to the closing, LFG directly or indirectly owned 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Commonwealth, Lawyers and United. A copy of the FNF press release announcing the closing of the transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

     Among other things, and in addition to the revised purchase consideration terms described above, the amendments to the original Stock Purchase Agreement provided for the following changes: (A) at or shortly after the closing, FNTIC, CTIC and FNF were required to capitalize Commonwealth and Lawyers with at least $204 million of new consideration in a form to be determined by FNTIC, CTIC and FNF; (B) the representations and warranties of the parties terminated as of, and did not survive, the closing; and (C) the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement no longer provides for indemnification by LFG or by FNTIC and CTIC, except for tax indemnification.

General

     The foregoing summary of the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between the foregoing summary and the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the text of the amended and restated Stock Purchase Agreement shall control.

     The Stock Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to each other as of specific dates. Except for its status as a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties, the Stock Purchase Agreement is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about any of the parties thereto. The representations and warranties were made as of specific dates, only for purposes of the proposed transactions, and solely for the benefit of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement. These representations and warranties may be subject to limitations agreed between the parties, including being qualified by disclosures between the parties. The representations and warranties may have been made to allocate risks among the parties, including where the parties do not have complete knowledge of all facts, instead of establishing matters as facts. Furthermore, those representations and warranties may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.

     Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of these representations and warranties, which may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET OF A REGISTRANT

     On December 22, 2008, FNF issued a $50,000,000 principal amount 2.36% Subordinated Promissory Note Due 2013 to LFG pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement described in Item 1.01 above. The form of the FNF Note, which is included as Exhibit A to the Stock Purchase Agreement, is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The FNF Note is subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of all indebtedness of FNF or guarantees by FNF of indebtedness of others for borrowed money. Interest on the FNF Note is payable from December 22, 2008 to maturity on December 22, 2013 on each December 22 commencing December 22, 2009. The FNF Note is prepayable at any time prior to maturity.

ITEM 3.02. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

     On December 22, 2008, FNF issued 3,176,620 shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 per share to LFG (the “FNF Shares”). The FNF Shares were issued to LFG pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement described in Item 1.01 above as part of the consideration paid for the capital stock of Lawyers and Commonwealth. The issuance of FNF Shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

     (a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

     To the extent required by this item, the financial statements of the businesses acquired by FNF will be filed by an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K within the time period required under Item 9.01(a)(4) of Form 8-K.

          Section 2.7 Exclusion of UCTIC. (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, in the event that all conditions set forth in Article VI hereof shall have been fulfilled or waived (other than any such condition to be performed at the Closing), other than the CA Approval or the Final Approval Order, if any, as it relates to UCTIC, or any other condition in Article VI shall not be satisfied solely as to UCTIC or the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares, then the parties shall close the purchase and sale of the Commonwealth Shares and the LTIC Shares at the Closing, as contemplated hereby, and shall defer the closing of the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares (the “Deferred Closing”) until such conditions are fulfilled or waived with respect to UCTIC and the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares.

          (b) In the event UCTIC is excluded from the Closing pursuant to Section 2.7(a), the pre-Closing provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective with respect to UCTIC until the Deferred Closing occurs or this Agreement is terminated with respect to the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Article VII with respect to the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares (provided, that for this purpose the reference to December 22, 2008, in Section 7.1(a)(iii) shall be deemed to

refer to that date that is 120 days from the date hereof), and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 with respect to UCTIC and the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares (provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Material Adverse Effect shall continue to be interpreted to apply to the Companies (including UCTIC) and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), the Deferred Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m. local time, on the second Business Day after the last to be fulfilled or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VI with respect to UCTIC and the UCTIC Shares shall be fulfilled or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than any such condition required to be performed at the Deferred Closing), at the offices of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The actual date and time of the Deferred Closing are herein referred to as the “Deferred Closing Date.” In such event, references in this Agreement to the “Closing” and the “Closing Date” shall with respect to UCTIC and the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares be deemed to refer to the Deferred Closing and the Deferred Closing Date, and references to the termination of this Agreement (including those in Article VII) shall refer to the termination hereof solely with respect to the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares. Further, in such event, during the period following the Closing and prior to the earlier to occur of the Deferred Closing and the termination of this Agreement with respect to the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares, all references to the “Companies” as used for purposes of the post-Closing rights and obligations of the parties (including for purposes of indemnification) shall be deemed to exclude UCTIC. In the event that this Agreement is terminated with respect to the purchase and sale of the UCTIC Shares after the Closing Date and prior to the Deferred Closing, then all references to UCTIC and the UCTIC Shares in this Agreement shall be deemed deleted and this Agreement shall be deemed to have never contemplated the sale of UCTIC to Buyers.

          Section 2.8 UCTIC Purchase Price. (a) Not less than one Business Day prior to the Closing Date in respect of UCTIC, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to FNTIC Seller’s and NHI’s reasonable good faith estimate of the Net Worth of UCTIC as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to such Closing Date (the “Estimated UCTIC Net Worth”)

          (b) No later than 45 days after the Closing Date, FNTIC shall deliver to Seller the balance sheet of UCTIC prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles (the “Subject Balance Sheet”), as of 11:59 p.m. on the night immediately prior to the Closing Date, and a written statement (the “Adjustment Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail FNTIC’s computation of the amount of Net Worth of UCTIC as of such time based on the Subject Balance Sheet (the “UCTIC Net Worth”).

          (c) Seller shall have 30 days from the date on which the Adjustment Statement is delivered to it to review the computation of the UCTIC Net Worth set forth thereon (the “Review Period”). Seller and its Representatives shall be provided with full access to all documentation, records and other information of FNTIC and UCTIC reasonably related to such computations in connection with such review. If Seller disagrees in any respect with the computation of the UCTIC Net Worth shown or reflected in the Adjustment Statement, Seller may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to FNTIC setting forth, in reasonable detail, each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth Seller’s position as to the correct UCTIC Net Worth. If no Dispute Notice is received by FNTIC with respect to the UCTIC Net

Worth on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the computation of UCTIC Net Worth set forth in the Adjustment Statement shall be deemed accepted by Seller, whereupon such computation reflected on the Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding on the parties. For ten days after FNTIC receives a Dispute Notice, if any, FNTIC and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve by mutual agreement all matters in the Dispute Notice. In the event that such parties are unable to resolve by mutual agreement any matter in the Dispute Notice within such 10-day period, FNTIC or Seller may engage an accounting firm of national reputation or any other Person, in each case as mutually agreed by the parties hereto (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), as an expert and not as an arbitrator, to make a determination respecting the matters in dispute. Once engaged, FNTIC and Seller will direct the Independent Accounting Firm to render a determination within 30 days of its retention, and FNTIC, Seller and their respective employees and agents will cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm during its engagement. FNTIC, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each submit a binder to the Independent Accounting Firm promptly (and in any event within 15 days after the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement), which binder shall contain their respective computations of the UCTIC Net Worth, in each case, to the extent disputed in the Dispute Notice and information, arguments and support for their respective positions. The Independent Accounting Firm shall determine, based solely on such binders presented, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and shall render a written report to FNTIC and Seller (the “Adjustment Report”) in which the Independent Accounting Firm shall, after considering all matters set forth in the Dispute Notice, determine what adjustments, if any, should be made to the computation of the UCTIC Net Worth set forth in the Adjustment Statement solely as to the disputed items and shall determine the appropriate final UCTIC Net Worth on that basis. The Adjustment Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items or amounts specified in the Dispute Notice, and the revisions, if any, to be made to the Adjustment Statement and the UCTIC Net Worth, as the case may be, together with supporting calculations. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm: (i) shall be bound to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and (iii) shall not assign a value to any item higher than the highest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party. All fees and expenses relating to the work of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by FNTIC, on the one hand, and by Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which allocation shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to it. The Adjustment Report, absent fraud, shall be final and binding upon FNTIC and Seller, shall be deemed a final arbitration award that is binding on each of FNTIC and Seller, and no party shall seek further recourse to courts, other tribunals or otherwise, other than to enforce the Adjustment Report. Judgment may be entered to enforce the Adjustment Report in any court having proper jurisdiction. The amount of the UCTIC Net Worth as finally determined pursuant to this Section is referred to herein as the “Final UCTIC Net Worth”.

          (d) If the Final UCTIC Net Worth is greater than the Estimated UCTIC Net Worth, FNTIC will within five Business Days after the determination thereof, pay to NHI the sum of (i) the amount of such excess and (ii) an amount of interest on such excess amount at a rate per annum of 6% from the Closing Date in respect of UCTIC to the date such amount is

paid. If the Final UCTIC Net Worth is less than the Estimated UCTIC Net Worth, Seller shall, within five Business Days after the determination thereof, cause NHI to pay to FNTIC the sum of (i) the amount of such shortfall and (ii) an amount of interest on such shortfall amount at a rate per annum of 6% from the Closing Date in respect of UCTIC to the date such amount is paid. Such payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Alternatively, if an amount is due to FNTIC hereunder, at its option it may elect to permit such amount to be satisfied by a reduction in the principal amount of the FNF Note; any such reduction shall not reduce the rights of Buyers to be indemnified under Article 8 or 9 hereof.

Each Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and any award thereunder, in each case that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, has been operated in compliance in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code since January 1, 2005, based upon a good faith, reasonable interpretation of (A) Section 409A of the Code, and (B)(1) the proposed and final Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and (2) Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, all subsequent Internal Revenue Service Notices and other interim guidance on Section 409A of the Code.

          (b) The aggregate reserves for title insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses, as reflected in each of the Statutory Statements, were (i) computed on the basis of methodologies consistent in all material respects with those used in computing the corresponding reserves in the prior fiscal years (except as otherwise noted in the financial statements and notes thereto included in such financial statements), (ii) include provisions for all title insurance loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and related items reasonably required to be established in accordance with applicable laws, (iii) were determined in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted actuarial standards consistently applied (except as otherwise noted in such Statutory Statements) and (iv) were fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with sound actuarial principles.

Each Company and each of its Subsidiaries is and has been marketing, selling and issuing Insurance Contracts in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws, all applicable orders and directives of all insurance regulatory authorities and all market conduct recommendations resulting from market conduct or other examinations of insurance regulatory authorities in the respective jurisdictions in which such products have been marketed, issued or sold.

No Company nor any of its Insurance Subsidiaries has received notice that any other party to any Reinsurance Contract intends not to perform fully under any such Reinsurance Contract, and, to Seller’s knowledge, the financial condition of each party to each Reinsurance Contract pursuant to which any Company or any Insurance Subsidiary has ceded any premiums is not impaired to the extent that a default thereunder could reasonably be anticipated.

(a) Section 3.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete list of all existing material intercompany arrangements (including those relating to goods, rights, services or reinsurance arrangements) between Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

The parties thereto have complied with the terms and conditions of all agreements listed in Section 3.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

          (f) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall take all actions necessary so that each Company Benefit Plan which is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (including for the avoidance of doubt each LFG Deferred Compensation Plan), and the trust established pursuant to each such Company Benefit Plan, is amended to provide that neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or in conjunction with any other event, requires the funding of any such plan or trust.

          Section 5.7 Regulatory Matters. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary filings, consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations, permits or orders from all third parties and Governmental Entities, including all amendments to materials previously filed that are necessary to reflect changes in this Agreement from the Initial Agreement.

          (b) Each of Buyers and Seller shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself (or in the case of Seller, the Companies), its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Buyers, Seller, the Companies, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make or cause to be made an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (and in any event within 5 business days) and to make, or cause to be made, the filings and authorizations, if any, required under any other Regulatory Laws as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 5.7 to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations, as applicable,

under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Laws as soon as practicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties shall request and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

          (d) Each of Buyers, on the one hand, and Seller and the Companies, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 5.7(c) to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, keep the other party reasonably informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, permit the other party to review in advance any communication (provided that the parties may redact references to the value of this transaction or alternatives to this transaction) to be given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

          (e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 5.7(c) and 5.7(d), if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any Law or if any suit is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Law or which would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of Buyers, on the one hand, and Seller and the Companies, on the other hand, shall use their reasonable best efforts to (x) take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and (y) do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby, including taking all such further action as may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the FTC, the DOJ, state antitrust enforcement authorities or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction may assert under any Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date), in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing or delaying the Closing beyond the End Date; provided that neither the Companies nor any of their Subsidiaries shall become subject to, or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental Entity to sell, to hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change

the assets or business of the Companies or any of their Affiliates, unless such requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order is binding on the Companies only in the event that the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyers shall not be required to agree to or accept (but in their discretion may agree to or accept), and Seller shall not, and shall not permit the Companies, without the prior written consent of Buyers, to, agree to or accept, unless requested to do so by Buyers (subject to the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence) any condition sought by any Governmental Entity or other person in connection with any consent or approval required to complete or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that (A) seeks to prohibit or limit in any material respect the ownership or operation by the Companies, their Subsidiaries, either Buyer or any of their Affiliates of the business or assets of any of them, or to compel the Companies or either Buyer or any of their Affiliates to dispose of or hold separate any significant portion of their business or assets as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) seeks to impose limitations on the ability of either Buyer to acquire, hold, or exercise full rights of direct or indirect ownership of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, including the right to vote the capital stock of the Companies on all matters properly presented to the shareholders of the Companies and the rights to declare or pay dividends on any capital stock of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, (C) seeks to prohibit either Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries from effectively controlling in any material respect the business or operations of such Buyer, the Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, (D) would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to significantly and adversely affect the benefits, taken as a whole, that either Buyer reasonably expects to derive from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (E) would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to significantly and adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          (f) Subject to Section 5.7(e), in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, Seller and Buyers each shall cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (g) Each of Buyers and Seller and the Companies shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity the consent or approval of which is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval may be materially delayed.

          (h) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 5.7(a), (d), (e) or (f), with respect to the consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations and permits sought to be obtained from third parties (other than from Governmental Entities) (“Third Party Consents”), the costs paid to any third party with respect to Third Party Consents shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyers. To the extent that a party seeking a Third Party Consent is unable to obtain such Third Party Consent for anything

necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such party shall obtain acceptable alternative arrangements, with the other party’s participation, cooperation and approval; provided, that the costs paid to any third party with respect to obtaining any acceptable alternative arrangement shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyers; provided further, that this obligation shall survive Closing.

          (i) As used in this Agreement, the term “Regulatory Laws” means any Law enacted by any Governmental Entity relating to antitrust matters, insurance, or regulating competition.

          (j) As used in this Agreement, the term “Law” means applicable statutes, common laws, rules, ordinances, regulations, codes, orders, judgments, injunctions, writs, decrees, governmental guidelines or interpretations having the force of law or bylaws, in each case, of a Governmental Entity.

          (k) [omitted].

          Section 5.8 Employees.

          (a) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under each employee benefit plan maintained by Buyers or any of their Subsidiaries, Buyers shall cause such employee benefit plan to recognize the service of each employee who is actively employed by the Companies and their Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Covered Employees”) to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Closing Date under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans or to the extent such operation would result in a duplication of benefits for a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service or to the extent such period of service is not recognized under the applicable Buyer employee benefit plan for its similarly situated employees. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Covered Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans maintained by Buyers or any of their Subsidiaries to the extent coverage under such plans is comparable to, and a replacement for, a Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately before the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) with respect to any health, dental, vision or other welfare plans of Buyers or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, Buyers shall use their reasonable best efforts to (x) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such Buyer or Subsidiary plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee, to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (y) recognize any health, dental or vision expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the plan year that includes the Closing Date for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such health, dental or vision plan of Buyers or any of their Subsidiaries.

          (b) The Covered Employees shall remain covered through the date that is 60 days after Closing Date (or a shorter period after the Closing Date, at Buyers’ option) under the Seller’s health and welfare plans that provided health, dental and vision benefits to such Covered Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “LFG Health Plans”) (the date through which the Covered Employees remain covered by the LFG Health Plans, the “Coverage Cut-Off Date”), immediately following which the Covered Employees shall be covered by the health and welfare plans maintained by Buyers and their Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.8(a) of this Agreement. Buyers shall cause the Companies to pay to Seller the amount of covered health, dental and vision claims incurred by the Covered Employees through the Coverage Cut-Off Date to the extent such claims are not paid as of the Closing Date, less Covered Employee premiums actually paid to Seller on and after the Closing Date or paid to Buyers or the Companies and transferred to Seller on and after the Closing Date. In no event shall the operation of this Section 5.8(b) result in duplication of payments in respect of an obligation under this Section 5.8(b).

          (c) Effective as of the Closing Date, FNF or its designee (which shall be one of the Companies or another wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF) shall assume sponsorship of, and all obligations under, the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Section 5.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “LFG Deferred Compensation Plans”). Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and FNF shall take any and all actions required such that, effective as of the Closing, FNF or its designee (FNF hereby designates Commonwealth) shall (i) (A) assume sponsorship of, and all obligations under, the LFG Deferred Compensation Plans, and (B) discharge all obligations under such LFG Deferred Compensation Plans, (ii) be the grantor and the ''Company’’ under each rabbi trust (the “Rabbi Trusts”) established in connection with the LFG Deferred Compensation Plans of which Seller is the current grantor, such that the assets in the Rabbi Trusts will be available for the payment of benefits under the LFG Deferred Compensation Plans, and (iii) be the owner of all corporate owned life insurance policies purchased as a funding source for the LFG Deferred Compensation Plans; provided that, to the extent any aspect of the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii) is not completed as of the Closing Date, Seller shall cause it to be completed as promptly as possible following the Closing Date.

          (d) At or prior to Closing, Seller shall vest, or cause to be vested, each Covered Employee in all Company Benefit Plans which are not Assumed Plans, including but not limited to any equity awards.

          (e) Notwithstanding any provision in any agreement by and between Seller or any of its Affiliates and Buyers or any of their Affiliates, each Buyer or any of its Affiliates may make offers of employment on such terms as it shall determine to be effective on or after the Closing Date to any employees of Seller and its Affiliates which employees primarily provide services to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the seven personnel currently managing the Dallas Data Center facility located at 2201 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas. Further, Buyers may assume the real estate and equipment leases in respect of the foregoing facility dedicated to serving the Companies, subject to the receipt of any third party waiver, consent or approval and subject to any required approval by the Chapter 11 Court.

          (f) From and after the Closing Date, (i) Buyers or their Affiliates shall (x) assume, or cause the Companies to continue, as the case may be, sponsorship of, and all liabilities under, each Assumed Plan and (y) assume or discharge all obligations under such

Assumed Plans as of the Closing Date and (ii) Buyers shall, or shall cause their Subsidiaries to, honor, in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect as of the date hereof or as may be amended after the date hereof (i) with the prior written consent of Buyers or (ii) as permitted pursuant to Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement, each Assumed Plan.

          (g) Nothing in this Section 5.8 shall be construed to limit the right of Buyers or any of their Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to amend or terminate any Assumed Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 5.8 be construed to prohibit the Buyers or any of their Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) from terminating the employment of any particular Covered Employee following the Closing Date.

          (h) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.8, the provisions of this Section 5.8 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose.

          (i) From and after the date hereof, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the Companies or their Subsidiaries indemnify or reimburse Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Companies or their Subsidiaries) in respect of any severance or change of control benefits payable by Seller or any such Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than benefits payable by the Companies and their Subsidiaries, with respect to which Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not be responsible), under any existing cost-reimbursement arrangement or otherwise. For purposes of this provision, Seller’s Subsidiaries shall not include the Companies and their Subsidiaries.

          (j) FNF and Seller hereby agree that effective as of the Closing, all restrictions under the Confidentiality Agreement on the solicitation or hiring of any executive or employee are hereby deemed deleted, including the second full paragraph on page three thereof. In addition, all such restrictions shall be deemed deleted if any of the following has not occurred or been granted on or before December 22, 2008: (i) the Final Approval Order (other than with respect to UCTIC, if applicable), (ii) the approval by the Nebraska Department of Insurance of the Form A filing with respect to the acquisition of the Companies, (iii) the approval by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance of the Form A filing with respect to the acquisition of CNJ, (iv) the Chapter 11 Court Order, or (v) the waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act shall have been terminated or shall have expired. Further, following the date hereof Buyers and their Affiliates shall be permitted to discuss (i) with agents their continued roles with the Companies and their Subsidiaries or with Buyers or their other Affiliates following the Closing, and (ii) with customers the transactions contemplated hereby, and in each case to provide them assurances with respect thereto.

          (k) Seller shall cause the enrolled actuary (the “Plan Actuary”) for the LandAmerica Cash Balance Plan (the “Cash Balance Plan”) to calculate the benefit obligation

under the Cash Balance Plan as of a date not more than five business days prior to the Closing Date (such date, the “Calculation Date”), such benefit obligation to be the sum of (i) the amount of the cash balance account as of the Calculation Date in respect of each Cash Balance Plan participant who is, on the Calculation Date, or could be following the Calculation Date, entitled to receive Cash Balance Plan benefits in the form of a lump sum, plus (ii) the aggregate benefit obligation in respect of all Cash Balance Plan participants not described in the preceding clause (i), computed on an accounting (ongoing) basis (not on a termination basis) using the same methodology utilized to determine the “benefit obligation at end of year” in Seller’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007; provided that the interest rate used to make such calculation shall be the prevailing interest rate used by Mercer (the Cash Balance Plan’s enrolled actuary) as of the Calculation Date to compute benefit obligations of defined benefit plans of its clients generally (the amount of such benefit obligation calculated hereunder, the “Current Benefit Obligation”). In the event that the Current Benefit Obligation exceeds the market value of the LandAmerica Cash Balance Plan’s assets on the Calculation Date (such excess, if any, the “Funding Amount”), upon the Closing, Seller shall contribute to the LandAmerica Cash Balance Plan from the Purchase Price proceeds cash in an amount equal to the Funding Amount. In such event, Buyers shall be entitled to fund these amounts on behalf of Seller directly to the Cash Balance Plan from the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Chapter 11 Court Order shall require such funding, if any, on the part of Seller. In addition, Seller agrees that, prior to the Closing, it shall not take action or initiate any proceeding to terminate the Cash Balance Plan.

          (l) Shortly prior to the Closing, Seller provided to Buyers a list of employees purported to be Covered Employees, which is attached as Schedule 2 hereto. Buyers have not had an adequate opportunity to review that list. Buyers shall have 30 days from the Closing to identify any employee on such list who is not in fact a Covered Employee and notify Seller of Buyers’ belief to such effect. In the event that any such employee so identified by Buyers within such period is not in fact a Covered Employee, Seller agrees to accept the transfer of such employee’s employment to Seller and to reimburse Buyers for any salary or benefits provided by Buyers.

          Section 5.9 Certain Transfers and Licenses.

          (a) Rights in Certain Trademarks and Contracts. Prior to or at the Closing or as promptly as practicable thereafter, and subject to the receipt of any third party waiver, consent or approval and subject to any required approval by the Chapter 11 Court, Seller shall transfer or assign, or cause to be transferred or assigned to the Companies and their Subsidiaries (i) all Intellectual Property owned by Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) that is used solely in the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, (ii) all rights in and to the name “Commonwealth,” “United Title,” “United Capital Title,” “Lawyers Title” and any of the names and trademarks set forth on Section 5.9(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule owned by Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), (iii) each contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding to which Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) is a party that relates to the use of Intellectual Property solely in connection with the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries; and (iv) any contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding set forth on Section 5.9(a)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Such transfers shall be at no additional cost to Buyers, the Companies or their

respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Intellectual Property set forth on Section 5.9(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule nor rights in the words “LandAmerica” nor derivatives thereof nor the LandAmerica logo nor derivatives thereof shall be transferred or assigned to the Companies or their Subsidiaries.

          (b) License to Certain Trademarks. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), hereby grant to the Companies and their Subsidiaries (each a “Company Licensed Party” and together the “Company Licensed Parties”) a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, non-exclusive, sublicenseable to Affiliates of Buyers (on multiple levels), non-transferable (except as set forth herein) right and license to use all Trademarks owned by Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) and used in the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, including those on Section 5.9(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (“Seller Trademarks”), on any materials that prior to Closing included any Seller Trademarks, including signage, advertising, promotional materials, software, packaging, inventory, electronic materials, collateral goods, stationery, business cards, web sites, invoices, receipts, forms, product, training and service literature and materials and other materials (“Materials”) in connection with the respective businesses of a Company Licensed Party for (x) a period of 180 days following the Closing Date for such Materials that do not require approvals from any Governmental Entity to be modified; and (y) the period of time following the Closing Date until 180 days after all applicable Governmental Entities have granted the Licensed Parties approval to modify Materials that require such approvals to be modified; provided, that the applicable Company Licensed Party use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals from the applicable Governmental Entities as promptly as possible after the Closing Date. Subject to applicable Law, the Company Licensed Parties’ use of the Seller Trademarks during the applicable term as set forth in this Section 5.9(b) shall be only with Seller’s prior written consent (which consent is deemed given for all uses of the Seller Trademarks as they are used in the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the date hereof). No Company Licensed Party shall be required to remove or replace any Seller Trademarks from any Materials that were distributed prior to Closing or during the term of the license set forth in this Section 5.9(b).

          (c) License to Certain Owned Intellectual Property. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), shall grant to the Company Licensed Parties a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicenseable to Affiliates of Buyers (on multiple levels) right and license, in and to all Intellectual Property owned by Seller and its Affiliates immediately following the Closing Date (other than Seller Trademarks), that is or was used in or in connection with any of the respective businesses of the Company Licensed Parties and that is embedded in the systems or Intellectual Property of the Companies or their Subsidiaries, for use in and in connection with the respective businesses of such Company Licensed Parties. The foregoing license shall be fully transferable, but only in connection with the sale of such systems or Intellectual Property of the Company Licensed Parties.

          Section 5.10 Possible Transfer of Certain Assets.

          (a) Southland Assets. The parties acknowledge that it may be economically efficient and optimal if the assets owned by Seller or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries known as ''Southland’’ (the ''Southland Assets’’) were joined with the businesses conducted and assets owned by the Companies and their Subsidiaries. Accordingly, on or before the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyers with a detailed description of the Southland Assets. At the sole election of Buyers, the parties shall negotiate to provide for the transfer or assignment (by Seller or its applicable Affiliates) of the Southland Assets (and the assumption of the related liabilities) to Buyers or one of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as directed by Buyers, for consideration to be mutually agreed. The parties will act in good faith to determine if Schedule 1.1(a)(i) or Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) or both of the Transition Services Agreement should be modified to include any Corporate Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) necessary to support the Southland Assets and, if so, amend the applicable schedules thereto and provide the necessary Corporate Services in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement. The foregoing shall be subject to receipt of any necessary approval by the Chapter 11 Court.

          (b) Other Assets. The parties acknowledge that it may be economically efficient and optimal if certain other businesses owned by Seller or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) that are tangential (but integral) to the title business (e.g., production resources and claims services) (the “Other Assets”) were joined with the businesses conducted and assets owned by the Companies and their Subsidiaries. Accordingly, on or before the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyers with a detailed description of the Other Assets. At the sole election of Buyers, the parties shall negotiate to provide for the transfer or assignment (by Seller or its applicable Affiliates) of the Other Assets (and the assumption of the related liabilities) to the Companies, Buyers or one of its or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as directed by Buyers, for consideration to be mutually agreed. The parties will act in good faith to determine if Schedule 1.1(a)(i) or Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) or both of the Transition Services Agreement should be modified to include any Corporate Services necessary to support the Other Assets and, if so, amend the applicable schedules thereto and provide the necessary Corporate Services in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement. The foregoing shall be subject to receipt of any necessary approval by the Chapter 11 Court.

          (c) Transfer of Certain Software. On or before the conclusion of the term of the Transition Services Agreement, and subject to the receipt of any third party waiver, consent or approval and subject to any required approval by the Chapter 11 Court, at Buyers’ option and in Buyers’ sole discretion, Seller shall transfer or assign (or cause to be transferred and assigned) to the Buyers or the Companies or their Subsidiaries any third party software licenses or any hardware owned by or licensed to Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) that is primarily used in the operation of the businesses by Companies or their Subsidiaries; to the extent that there are any costs payable to a third party to consent to such transfer or assignment, such costs shall be borne by Buyers. Such transfers or assignments, with respect to Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be at no additional costs to Buyers, the Companies or their Subsidiaries. With respect to third party software licenses or hardware that is primarily used by Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the operation of their businesses and that is also used in the operation of the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, Seller will notify Buyers as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and the parties shall work together to determine whether the parties can continue to jointly use such software and hardware upon Closing; if such software or hardware cannot be jointly used

upon Closing, then, at Buyers’ sole option and in Buyers’ sole discretion, the parties shall obtain alternative sources therefor as of the Closing or Seller shall provide such software or hardware as a Corporate Service, subject to Section 5.7(h) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the stated intention of the parties that Buyers or the Companies or their Subsidiaries shall obtain, either by transfer or assignment from Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or from other sources acceptable to Buyers in their sole discretion, all third party software licenses or any hardware that are primarily used in the operation of the businesses by the Companies and their Subsidiaries or that are material to the operation of the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries.

          (d) Transfer of Other Agreements. On or before the conclusion of the term of the Transition Services Agreement, and subject to the receipt of any third party waiver, consent or approval and subject to any required approval by the Chapter 11 Court, at Buyers’ option and in Buyers’ sole discretion, Seller shall transfer or assign (or cause to be transferred and assigned) to Buyers or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any third party agreement or third party service other than those subject to Section 5.10(c) (including, by way of example, agency agreements, if any) entered into or received by Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is primarily used in the operation of the businesses by the Companies and their Subsidiaries; to the extent that there are any costs payable to a third party to consent to such transfer or assignment, such costs shall be borne by Buyers. With respect to any agreement or third party service that is primarily used by Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the operation of their businesses that is also used in the operation of the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, Seller will notify Buyers as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and the parties shall work together to determine whether the parties can continue to jointly use such agreement or third party service upon Closing; if such agreement or third party service cannot be jointly used upon Closing, then, at Buyers’ sole option and in Buyers’ sole discretion, the parties shall obtain alternative sources therefor as of Closing or Seller shall provide the benefits of such agreement or such third party service as a Corporate Service, subject to Section 5.7(h) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the stated intention of the parties that Buyers or the Companies or their Subsidiaries shall obtain, either by transfer or assignment from Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or from other sources acceptable to Buyers in their sole discretion, all third agreements and third party services that are primarily used in the operation of the businesses by the Companies and their Subsidiaries or that are material to the operation of the businesses of the Companies and their Subsidiaries.

          Section 5.11 Certain Bankruptcy Provisions.

          (a) Within one day after execution and delivery hereof, Seller shall file a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or such other forum as Buyers may agree (the “Chapter 11 Court”). Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the entry of an order, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyers, approving the sale of the Shares to Buyers and FNF pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby (other than any transfers or assignments of assets or agreements contemplated to occur after the Closing or the sale of the Southland Assets and the Other Assets) (the “Chapter 11 Court Order”) as promptly as possible following the filing of Seller’s bankruptcy petition. Seller shall schedule its first hearing date

before the Chapter 11 Court as promptly as practicable, and at such hearing shall request that the hearing to issue the Chapter 11 Court Order be held as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

          (b) Buyers shall have the right to appoint a restructuring consultant (the “Buyer Consultant”), at their own expense, to observe the operations of the Companies and their Subsidiaries from the date hereof until the Closing Date.

If the Indemnifying Party does not promptly assume the defense of such Third Party Claim following notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and to settle or agree to pay in full such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party without prejudice to the ability of the Indemnified Party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of an irrevocable release from all liability and wrongdoing with respect to such Third Party Claim.

We will have an unrivaled balance sheet, including an investment portfolio of approximately $5.5 billion and reserve for claim losses that will exceed $2.3 billion. We are thrilled to welcome these underwriters and their employees, agents and customers into the FNF title insurance family and are confident that Commonwealth, Lawyers and United will provide significant contributions to our ongoing goal of continually creating value for our shareholders.”

          (a) Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay, subject to the further provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the subordination provisions set forth herein), to LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Payee”), the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 on [insert fifth anniversary of Closing Date] (the “Maturity Date”), subject to reduction pursuant to Section 2.8(d) or Section 9.4(b) of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 25, 2008, as amended and restated as of December 12, 2008, as further amended and restated as of December 21, 2008, among the Payee, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (the “SPA”).

          (b) The Company further agrees to pay, subject to the subordination provisions set forth herein, interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time from the date hereof at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, payable on [insert anniversary of Closing Date] of each year commencing 200[9] and ending on the Maturity Date. Each date on which interest or principal on this Note is payable is herein referred to as a “Payment Date”. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days. “Applicable Rate” shall mean [insert rate that equals 1% plus the yield to maturity as of the Closing Date on the U.S. Treasury security (based on the price of such Treasury security as determined in accordance with standard market practice) that would then be used in accordance with standard market practice to price an issuance of five-year debt by the Company].

          (c) If any day that would otherwise be a Payment Date is not a Business Day, such Payment Date shall instead be the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender therein for the payment of public and private debts.

          (d) The Company may treat the last Person whom it had notice was the owner hereof as the owner hereof for all purposes, including the payment of principal and interest, and may require the surrender of this Note as a condition to the payment of the principal amount hereof.

          SECTION 2. Payments.

          All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made on the relevant Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the holder of this Note or in such other manner or at such other place as may be mutually agreed by the Company and the holder of this Note. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to the holder of this Note any amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect thereto under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that the amounts are so withheld, they shall be treated as having been paid to the holder of this Note.

          SECTION 3. Prepayments.

          The Company may, at its sole option, at any time prepay this Note, without penalty, in whole or in part, on one Business Day’s prior written notice to the holder hereof, at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount so to be prepaid, together with interest on the principal amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

          SECTION 4. Subordination.

          (a) Agreement To Subordinate. The Company agrees, and the holder of this Note by accepting this Note agrees, that the indebtedness and other obligations evidenced by this Note are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 4, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Debt (the “Senior Debtholders”).

          (b) Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

               (i) the Senior Debtholders shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the Senior Debt before the holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on this Note; and

               (ii) until the Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, any payment or distribution to which the holder of this Note would be entitled but for this Section 4 shall be made to the Senior Debtholders as their interests may appear, except that the holder of this Note may receive equity securities and any debt securities that are subordinated to the Senior Debt to at least the same extent as this Note.

          (c) Default on Senior Debt. The Company may not pay the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on this Note and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire this Note (collectively, “pay the Note”) if (i) any Senior Debt is not paid when due or (ii) any other default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Senior Debt has been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Note without regard to the foregoing if the Company receives written notice approving such payment from the representative of such Senior Debt with respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i) or (ii) has occurred and is continuing. During the

continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not pay the Note for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Company of written notice (a “Blockage Notice”) (a copy of which notice the Company shall promptly forward to the holder of this Note) of such default from the representative of such Designated Senior Debt or from the holders of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (ii) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing or (iii) because such Designated Senior Debt has been repaid in full). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this clause (c)), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or the representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt, the Company may resume payments on the Note after termination of such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt during such period.

          (d) When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, and whether directly, by purchase, redemption or otherwise (but not including any payment or distribution that may be deemed to be made as the result of any reduction in the principal amount of this Note pursuant to Section 2.8(d) or Section 9.4(b) of the SPA), shall be received by or on behalf of the holder of this Note at a time when such payment is prohibited by the provisions of this Section 4, such payment or distribution shall be held by the holder of this Note in trust (segregated from other property of the holder of this Note) for the benefit of the Senior Debtholders, and shall forthwith be paid over directly to the Senior Debtholders or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to he aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt or represented by each of such instruments, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) by the Company or any guarantor of the Senior Debt or any other Person to or for the Senior Debtholders.

          (e) Proof of Claims. If the Company is subject to any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and the holder of this Note has not filed any proof of claim permitted to be filed in such proceeding with respect to this Note, then any representative of any Senior Debt may file such proof of claim no earlier than 30 days preceding the last day permitted to file such claim.

          (f) Subrogation: Relative Rights. After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, the holder of this Note shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions applicable to Senior Debt. No payments or distributions to the Senior Debtholders of any cash, property or securities to which the holder of this Note would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 4 shall, as between the

Company, its creditors, other than the Senior Debtholders, and the holder of this Note, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. The subordination provisions of this Note are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holder of this Note, on the one hand, and the Senior Debtholders, on the other hand. Nothing contained herein shall impair, as between the Company and the holder of this Note, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional, to pay to the holder of this Note the principal hereof and interest hereon as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, or prevent the holder of this Note from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or pursuant to the terms hereof upon an Event of Default hereunder, all subject to the rights of the Senior Debtholders as set forth herein to receive cash, securities or other property otherwise payable or deliverable to the holder of this Note.

          (g) Payment Over. The holder of this Note agrees that, in the event that all or any part of any payment made on account of the Senior Debt is recovered from the Senior Debtholders as a preference or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, any payment or distribution received by the holder of this Note on account of this Note at any time after the date of the payment so recovered, including payments received pursuant to a right of subrogation, shall be deemed to have been received by the holder of this Note in trust as the property of the Senior Debtholders, and the holder of this Note shall forthwith deliver the same to any representative on behalf of the Senior Debtholders for the equal and ratable benefit of the Senior Debtholders for application to payment of all Senior Debt in full.

          (h) Changes in Senior Debt Not to Affect Subordination. No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination provisions of this Note shall be impaired by any extension, renewal, modification, waiver or amendment to the terms of such Senior Debt or by the exercise by any such holder of its rights under the terms of any such Senior Debt.

          (i) No present or future Senior Debtholder shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination provisions contained herein in accordance with the terms hereof by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or the holder of this Note. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the benefit of the Senior Debtholders from time to time and, so long as any Senior Debt is outstanding under any agreement, or any commitment to extend Senior Debt is in effect, may not be rescinded, canceled or modified in any way without the prior written consent thereto of all Senior Debtholders.

          (j) The subordination and other provisions of this Section 4 shall be binding upon any holder of this Note and upon the successors and assigns of any holder of this Note; and all references herein to the holders of this Note shall be deemed to include any successor or successors or assigns, whether immediate or remote, to the holder of this Note.

          (k) The failure to make a payment pursuant to this Note by reason of any provision in this Section 4 shall not in any way be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default. Nothing in this Section 4 shall have any effect on the right of the holder of this Note to accelerate the maturity of this Note.

          SECTION 5. Events of Default.

          (a) An “Event of Default” occurs if:

               (i) default shall be made in the payment of (A) the principal of this Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or by acceleration thereof otherwise, or (B) interest on this Note when the same becomes due and payable, and in the case of interest such default continues for a period of 10 days, and in each case whether or not such payment is prohibited by Section 4; or

               (ii) (A) the Company shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (x) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors (“Bankruptcy Laws”), seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (y) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or the Company shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (B) there shall be commenced against the Company any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (A) above that (x) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (y) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days.

          (b) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (a)(ii) above) occurs, then the holder of this Note may, by written notice to the Company, declare this Note to be forthwith due and payable, both as to principal and interest, whereupon this Note shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company. If any Event of Default specified in clause (a)(ii) above occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on this Note shall automatically forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company. If payment of this Note is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Designated Senior Debt (if any) of the acceleration. If any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, the Company may not pay this Note until five days after such notice is received and, thereafter, may pay this Note only if Section 4 otherwise permits the payment at that time.

          (c) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the holder of this Note may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Note. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the holder of this Note may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of the holder of this Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Note upon the holder hereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

          SECTION 6. Mergers, etc.

          The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into another entity or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless the continuing entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer or which leases the properties and assets of the Issuer substantially as an entirety shall expressly assume, by a supplemental agreement executed and delivered to the holder of this Note, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this Note according to its terms, and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereof on the part of the Company to be performed or observed; and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing.
