Restricted Stock Award Agreement
SECTION 1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK
(a) Restricted Stock. On the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock
Grant, which is incorporated by reference, and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the
Agreement), the Company grants to the Grantee on the Effective Date of Grant the Shares of
Restricted Stock set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant.
(b) Plan and Defined Terms. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan. All terms,
provisions, and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock set forth in the Plan and not set
forth herein are hereby incorporated by reference herein. To the extent any provision hereof is
inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. All capitalized
terms that are used in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant or this Agreement and not otherwise
defined therein or herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
SECTION 2. FORFEITURE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
(a) Forfeiture Restrictions. If the Grantees employment or service as a Director or
Consultant, as the case may be, is terminated for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) Disability
(as defined below) or (iii) termination by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause (as
defined below), the Grantee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company the Shares of
Restricted Stock to the extent such Shares are subject to a Period of Restriction at the time of
such termination. If the Grantees employment or service as a Director or Consultant, as the case
may be, terminates due to the Grantees death or Disability, or is terminated by the Company and
its Subsidiaries without Cause, while Shares of Restricted Stock are subject to a Period of
Restriction, the Period of Restriction with respect to such Shares shall lapse, and the Shares
shall vest and become free of the forfeiture and transfer restrictions described in this Section 2,
on the date of the Grantees termination of employment or service.
(i) The term Cause shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Grantees employment
agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary. If the Grantees employment agreement does not
define the term Cause, or if the Grantee has not entered into an employment agreement with the
Company or any Subsidiary, the term Cause shall mean (A) the willful engaging by the Grantee in
misconduct that is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any Subsidiary (monetarily or
otherwise), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, (B) the Grantees conviction of,
or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony involving moral turpitude, or (C) the Grantees
violation of any confidentiality, non-solicitation, or non-competition covenant to which the
Grantee is subject.
(ii) The term Disability shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Grantees
employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary. If the Grantees
employment agreement does not define the term Disability, or if the Grantee has not entered
into an employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, the term Disability shall mean
the Grantees entitlement to long-term disability benefits pursuant to the long-term disability
plan maintained by the Company or in which the Companys employees participate.

(b) Transfer Restrictions. During the Period of Restriction, the Restricted Stock may not be
sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed
of to the extent such Shares are subject to a Period of Restriction.
(c) Lapse of Restrictions. The Period of Restriction shall lapse as to the Restricted Stock
in accordance with the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant. Subject to the terms of the Plan and
Sections 2(d) and 4(b) hereof, upon lapse of the Period of Restriction, the Grantee shall own the
Shares that are subject to this Agreement free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this
Agreement.
(d) Holding Requirement Following Period of Restriction. If and when the Grantee is an
Officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) or holds the title of President Eastern
Operations, President Western Operations, President Agency Operations, or Chief Legal Officer
of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. during the six month period following the date the Shares
vested, the Grantee may not sell, assign, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise transfer,
encumber or dispose of fifty percent (50%) of any vested Shares of Restricted Stock during such six
month period; provided, however, that this Section 2(d) shall not prohibit the Grantee from
exchanging or otherwise disposing of Shares in connection with a Change in Control or other
transaction in which Shares held by other Company shareholders are required to be exchanged or
otherwise disposed.
SECTION 3. STOCK CERTIFICATES
As soon as practicable following the grant of Restricted Stock, the Shares of Restricted Stock
shall be registered in the Grantees name in a restricted book-entry account at the Companys
transfer agent. Grantee shall have no dividend rights but will have all other rights of a holder
of Shares, including the right to vote (or to execute proxies for voting) such Shares. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, if all or part of a dividend in respect of the Restricted
Stock is paid in cash or Shares or any other security issued by the Company, such cash or Shares or
other securities shall be held by the Company subject to the same restrictions as the Shares of
Restricted Stock in respect of which the dividend was paid and shall be paid or distributed within
thirty (30) days of vesting of such Shares of Restricted Stock.
SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(a) Acknowledgements. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she has read and understands
the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees to be bound by their respective terms and
conditions. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be tax consequences upon the vesting or
transfer of the Restricted Stock and that the Grantee should consult an independent tax advisor.

(b) Tax Withholding. Pursuant to Article 20 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the power
and right to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantees FICA taxes)
required by law to be withheld with respect to this Award. The Committee may condition the
delivery of Shares upon the Grantees satisfaction of such withholding obligations. The Grantee
may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirement by tendering previously-owned
Shares or by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
statutory withholding (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state and local
tax purposes, as applicable, including the Grantees FICA taxes) that could be imposed on the
transaction, and, to the extent the Committee so permits, amounts in excess of the minimum
statutory withholding to the extent it would not result in additional accounting expense. Such
election shall be irrevocable, made in writing and signed by the Grantee, and shall be subject to
any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
(c) Ratification of Actions. By accepting this Agreement, the Grantee and each person
claiming under or through the Grantee shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated the Grantees

most recently provided in writing to the Company.

by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Florida, without regard to any conflicts of law
or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise cause the Plan, this Agreement or the
Notice of Restricted Stock Grant to be governed by or construed in accordance with the substantive
law of another jurisdiction.

relating to the Plan, this Agreement or the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant shall be settled by

any issues submitted in accordance with the provisions and commercial purposes of the Plan, this
Agreement and the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant, provided that all substantive questions of law
shall be determined in accordance with the state and Federal laws applicable in Florida, without
regard to internal principles relating to conflict of laws.

(h) Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of

time.
