EXPLANATORY NOTE

     Pursuant to the Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 27, 2004 and restated as of March 4, 2004, between Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

(“Sanchez”), the Registrant acquired a fully diluted 100% interest in Sanchez, with Sanchez, now known as Sanchez Computer Associates, LLC, becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. All outstanding options to purchase common stock, no par value, of Sanchez, granted pursuant to the Plan prior to the acquisition have been converted into options to purchase common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Registrant, subject to appropriate adjustments to the number of shares subject to the option and the exercise price thereof. Each such converted option is otherwise exercisable on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the acquisition.

     Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained herein (or in any subsequently filed document which also is incorporated by reference herein or any document which constitutes part of the prospectus relating to the Plans meeting the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act) modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities

     The class of securities to be offered under this Registration Statement is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

     Article Seventh (f) of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

     ARTICLE V, Section 1 of the Registrant’s Restated Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”) provides that the corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by , an in the manner permissible under, the laws of the State of Delaware any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation, or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation. The rights of indemnification under the Restated Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which any director or officer of the corporation may be entitled apart from the provisions of Article V.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future. These agreements may require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any Proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

     The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances in which an officer or director of the Registrant may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expenses.

     In addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant’s Certificate and Restated Bylaws, the Registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which would insure the Registrant’s directors and officers against certain liabilities which might be incurred in connection with the performance of their duties.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

     Not Applicable.

Item 9. 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 to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

  (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 which remain unsold at the termination of the 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 that is incorporated by reference in the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
