established on behalf of the Participant, except in the case of deferred stock option gains, restricted stock or long-term incentive compensation payable in stock (&#147;Deferred Stock Amounts&#148;), and the Participant shall elect one or more
measurement funds, which are based on certain mutual funds (the &#147;Measurement Funds&#148;) chosen by the plan administrator, for the purpose of determining the amounts to be credited or debited to the Participant&#146;s account balance. The
Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant&#146;s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to the Participant&#146;s account balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts, and the
crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant&#146;s account balance shall not be an actual investment of the Participant&#146;s account balance in any such Measurement Fund. Deferred Stock Amounts represent unfunded, unsecured promises on

appreciation thereon, subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends, stock splits and similar occurrences. A participant is always 100% vested in his deferral accounts. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. Arthur Andersen
LLP has not consented to the inclusion of its report in this registration statement, and the Registrant has dispensed with the requirement to file its consent in reliance upon Rule 437a, as promulgated under the Securities Act. Because Arthur
Andersen LLP has not consented to the inclusion of its report in this registration statement, investors may not be able to recover against Arthur Andersen LLP under Section 11 of the Securities Act for any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated in those financial statements.
Item 4.
Description of Securities
.
The summary of the Deferred Compensation Obligations arising
pursuant to the Certegy Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan Effective January 1, 2003 (the "Plan") is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is filed as an exhibit hereto. The Deferred
Compensation Obligations registered hereby are unsecured general obligations of the Registrant to make future payments of compensation that certain management and highly compensated employees elect to defer under the terms of the Plan. The Plan is
unfunded for purposes of Title I of ERISA.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and conditions that the plan administrator may determine, each participating employee (a "Participant") may elect to defer up to ninety percent (90%) of his or her
base annual salary, and all or a portion (subject to applicable minimums) of his or her annual bonus, long-term incentive awards, stock option gains and restricted stock, as applicable. When Participant makes a deferral election, an account will be
established on behalf of the Participant, except in the case of deferred stock option gains, restricted stock or long-term incentive compensation payable in stock ("Deferred Stock Amounts"), and the Participant shall elect one or more
measurement funds, which are based on certain mutual funds (the "Measurement Funds") chosen by the plan administrator, for the purpose of determining the amounts to be credited or debited to the Participant's account balance. The
Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant's election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to the Participant's account balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts, and the
crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant's account balance shall not be an actual investment of the Participant's account balance in any such Measurement Fund. Deferred Stock Amounts represent unfunded, unsecured promises on
the part of the Registrant to deliver in the future a specific number of shares of common stock, which in each case will equal the number of shares the Participant would have received but for the deferral, without interest, depreciation or
appreciation thereon, subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends, stock splits and similar occurrences. A participant is always 100% vested in his deferral accounts.
The Registrant may credit additional amounts to discretionary bonus accounts in accordance with employment or
other agreements entered into between the Registrant and participants or in the discretion of the Registrant's chief executive officer. Discretionary bonus accounts shall vest in accordance with the applicable employment or other agreements, or
as determined by the "Committee" (as defined below).
-2-
The Deferred
Compensation Obligations rank pari passu with any of the Registrant's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that may be outstanding from time to time, and Participants' deferrals are subject to the claims of the Registrant's
general creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into any of the Registrant's other securities. No sinking fund has or will be established with respect to the Deferred
Compensation Obligations. An aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 of such Deferred Compensation Obligations is being registered hereunder.
If the Board of Directors of the Company, or such committee as the Board of Directors shall appoint to administer the Plan (the
"Committee"), determines that a Participant no longer qualifies for the Plan, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion to terminate any deferral election the Participant has made for the remainder of the year in which the
Participant's status changes, prevent the Participant from making future deferral elections, and/or immediately distribute the Participant's then vested account balance and terminate the Participant's participation in the Plan.
The Registrant reserves the right to discontinue
sponsorship of the Plan and/or terminate the Plan at any time. Upon the termination of the Plan, the vested account balances shall be determined as if the Participant has experienced a termination of employment, or if the Participant was eligible to
retire, then as if the Participant had retired. The termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination; provided
however, that the Registrant shall have the right to accelerate installment payments without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the vested account balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an annual installment method using fewer years.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations will
become due in the event of a Participant's retirement, death, other termination of employment or disability or, in applicable instances, on such other date as a Participant elects, and in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with
the terms of the Plan. Participants may also take early distributions from the Deferred Compensation Plan with a penalty or petition for early distributions, except in the event of hardship. All distributions with respect to Deferred Stock Amounts
will be in the form of common stock, while all other distributions shall be in cash in lump sum or, in certain circumstances as permitted by the Plan, in installments.
The Registrant reserves the right to amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part at any time, except that no
such amendment or modification can adversely affect a participant's rights with respect to amounts deferred prior to the amendment or modification. The amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or beneficiary who
has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification; provided however, that the Registrant shall have the right to accelerate installment payments by paying the vested account balance in a
lump sum or pursuant to an annual installment method using fewer years.
-3-
A
Participant's rights to and under the Deferred Compensation Obligations are not assignable or transferable, except by way of transfer to a participant's beneficiary or estate upon the participant's death. Except as otherwise stated in
the Plan, the Deferred Compensation Obligations do not enjoy the benefit of any affirmative or negative pledges or covenants by the Registrant.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Commercial Code (the "GBCC") provides
that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if (1) such individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (2) such
individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, (B) in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation; and (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, that the individual had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. Subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC provides that a corporation may not indemnify a
director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct, or in
connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, pursuant to Section 14-2-854, a court may order a corporation to indemnify a director if such court determines, in view of all the relevant circumstances, that it is fair and reasonable to indemnify the director even if the director
has not met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC, failed to comply with Section 14-2-853 of the GBCC, or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of
subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC, but if the director was adjudged so liable, the indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC provides that a corporation shall
indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in
connection with the proceeding.
Section 14-2-857
of the GBCC provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director. If the officer is not a
director, (or if the officer is a director but the sole basis on which he or she is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer), the corporation may indemnify such officer to such further extent as may be provided by
the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board
-4-
of directors, or contract except for liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (1) appropriation,
in violation of their duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation, (2) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) the types of liability set forth in Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC or (4)
receipt of an improper personal benefit. An officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC and may apply to a court under Section 14-2-854 of the GBCC for indemnification,
in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification under those provisions. Finally, a corporation may also indemnify an employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, that
may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action by its board of directors or contract.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Restated Charter") eliminate, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the personal liability of directors to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of such directors' duty of care or other duties as a director. This provision of the Restated Charter will
limit the remedies available to a shareholder in the event of breaches of any director's duties to such shareholder or the Registrant.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") also provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan, or other entity, against judgments, amounts paid in settlement, penalties, fines, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, and reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by
such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant (and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful). In addition, the Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall advance to its directors or officers reasonable expenses of any such
proceeding.
Notwithstanding any provisions of
the Restated Charter and Bylaws to the contrary, the GBCC provides that the Registrant shall not indemnify a director or officer for any liability incurred in a proceeding in which the director or officer is adjudged liable to the Registrant or is
subjected to injunctive relief in favor of the Registrant: (1) for any appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Registrant; (2) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (3) for unlawful corporate distributions; or (4) for any transaction from which the director or officer received an improper personal benefit.

The Registrant
intends to carry insurance on behalf of directors and officers that may cover, among other things, any liabilities that may accrue under the statutory provisions referred to above.

Undertakings
.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
-6-
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of any offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
