Pursuant to the Fiserv, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan), Fiserv, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the Company), hereby grants to you an award of Restricted Stock Units (the Award) entitling you to receive such number of shares of Company common stock (the Shares) as is set forth above on the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this Agreement) and the terms of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
1. Vesting Provisions.
(a) Provided you are serving on the Companys board of directors (the Board) on such date, this Award will vest, and the Shares subject to this Award will be issued (subject to any deferral election made pursuant to Section 2), on the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the Grant Date; or (ii) immediately prior to the first annual meeting of shareholders of the Company that occurs in the year following the year of the Grant Date.
(b) In the event of your resignation, removal, or other termination from the Board (a Termination) for any reason before the Award vests, the Award will terminate and you will have no right to receive any Shares hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of your Termination by reason of death, this Award will vest in full and all of the Shares subject hereto shall be immediately issuable; and provided, further, the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of this Award in the event of your Termination by any reason other than death.
(c) The Company will have no further obligations to you under this Award if the Award terminates as provided herein.
(d) If the Company declares a cash dividend, you will be credited with an additional number of Restricted Stock Units on the date the cash dividends are paid to the Company shareholders equal to the amount of cash dividends payable with respect to a number of shares of stock equal to your Restricted Stock Units divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the dividend is paid. These additional Restricted Stock Units will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.
2. Deferral. You may elect, no later than December 31, 2008, to defer all or any portion (in 25% increments) of the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued pursuant to this Award. Such deferred Shares will be credited to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Fiserv, Inc. (the Deferred Compensation Plan) at the time they would have otherwise been issued to you, and will thereafter be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the deferral election shall be ineffective with regard to any Shares that are issued under the Award during 2008, such as in the event of your death.
3. Issuance of Shares. Subject to Section 2, the Company, or its transfer agent, will issue and deliver the Shares to you as soon as practicable after the Award vests. If you die before the Company has distributed any portion of the vested Shares, the Company will issue the Shares to your estate or in accordance with applicable laws of descent and distribution.
4. Withholding Taxes. The Company will not withhold any federal, state or local income taxes in connection with the Shares. You will be solely responsible for any tax liability associated with the Award and the Shares.
5. Non-transferability of Award. Until the Shares have been issued under this Award, this Award and the Shares issuable hereunder and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by operation of law or otherwise (except as permitted by the Plan). Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of such award, or of any right or privilege conferred hereby, contrary to the provisions of the Plan or of this Agreement, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred hereby, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall immediately become null and void.
6. Conditions to Issuance of Shares.

7. No Rights as Stockholder. Until this Awards vests and the Shares are issued to you, you shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares. Specifically, you understand and agree that you do not have voting rights or, except as provided herein, the right to receive dividends or any and other distributions paid with respect to shares of Company common stock by virtue of this Award or the Shares subject hereto.
