Exhibit 10.7

THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 1st day of November, 2007, by and between METAVANTE HOLDING COMPANY (to be renamed METAVANTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) (“Metavante Technologies”), and (the “Executive”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by Metavante Technologies or by another Metavante Group Member (as hereafter defined in Section 4); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Metavante Technologies (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined in Section 2) exists and that the threat of or the occurrence of a Change of Control can result in significant distractions of certain of its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of Metavante Technologies and its shareholders to retain the services of the Executive in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change of Control and to ensure Executive’s continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for Executive’s personal financial and employment security; and

WHEREAS, Metavante Technologies has determined that Executive should be compensated in the event of a Change of Control if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason during the Term, both as defined below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and adequate consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

Good Reason (solely as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement), Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Executive, within 30 days of the date of Executive’s termination of employment, of a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

(b) Annual Base Salary. “Annual Base Salary” shall mean the greater of (i) the base salary (“Base Salary”) paid or payable to Executive by Metavante Group Members in respect of the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the month in which the date of a Change of Control occurs, or (ii) Executive’s Base Salary on the Termination Date. Base Salary shall be calculated by including in Base Salary any amounts which were deferred by Executive under the 401(k) plan, the cafeteria plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Metavante Group and any other deferrals that would have increased Executive’s Base Salary if paid in cash when earned.

would constitute Cause, and (b) Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of Executive’s counsel if Executive so desires). No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted or failed to act in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Metavante Group.

(3) Executive’s right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Executive’s continued employment or failure to give Notice of Termination shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(1) Metavante Technologies (or another Metavante Group Member) shall pay to Executive the aggregate of the following amounts:

(i) A. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid;

B. A lump sum payment six (6) months after the Termination Date equal to the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Average Bonus or (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any amount deferred, (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve (12) full months or for which Executive has been employed for less than twelve (12) full months) for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the

C. As soon as practicable after the Termination Date an amount equal to the Executive’s accrued but untaken vacation through the Termination Date.

The sum of the amounts described in Clauses (A) and (B) and (C) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”;

(2) For twenty-four (24) months after the Termination Date, the Metavante Group shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s family in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Metavante Group applicable generally to other peer executives who are active employees and their families as in effect from time to time thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other benefits provided by the Metavante Group shall be secondary to those provided under the plan(s) of the other employer, but the aggregate coverage of the combined benefit plans of the Metavante Group and other employer shall in no event, be less favorable to Executive, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to him, than the Metavante Group coverage required hereunder. At the end of such twenty-four (24) month period, the Metavante Group shall provide to Executive and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependants, for life, retiree health insurance, subsidized to at least the same percentage extent as under Metavante’s retiree health plan as in existence on the date of the Change of Control. Such retiree health plan shall provide medical benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s spouse in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Metavante Group applicable generally to other peer executives who are active employees and their spouses as in effect from time to time thereafter; provided, however, that if Executive and/or Executive’s spouse or eligible dependants qualifies for coverage by Medicare or any successor program, the Metavante Group may require that Executive and/or Executive’s spouse or eligible dependants fully participate in Medicare and pay the premiums therefor personally.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Metavante Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding non-performance based stock option granted to the Executive shall automatically become fully and immediately vested.

(4) Executive shall have the right to purchase the car provided to him by the Metavante Group during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control, if applicable, (or a comparable car acceptable to Executive if such car is no longer owned by the Metavante Group), at the fair market value thereof on the Termination Date, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; and if the car is not purchased, Executive shall return the car.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 6(a) (other than the Accrued Obligations) shall

not be paid or provided to Executive unless and until he executes a Separation Agreement and Release (which Executive does not later revoke) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the form shall be subject to any changes that Metavante Technologies deems necessary).

(b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations, six (6) months of Annual Base Salary, and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date. The six (6) months of Annual Base Salary shall be paid during the six (6) month period following the Termination Date on a monthly basis. The term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 6(b) shall mean, and Executive’s family shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Metavante Group to surviving families of peer executives of the Metavante Group and under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect on the date of Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group and their families.

(c) Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, except that the Metavante Group shall pay or provide the Accrued Obligations and the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive at the same times as specified in Section 6(a)(i). The term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 6(c) shall include, and Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Metavante Group to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control or, if more favorable to Executive and/or Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Metavante Group.

(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Term, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Term for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than the obligation to pay to Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination and any other amounts earned or accrued through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid; provided that if Executive voluntarily terminates, Executive shall receive the benefits normally provided upon normal or early retirement with respect to other peer executives and their families to the extent he qualifies for such benefits. All salary or compensation hereunder shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

(e) Delinquent Payments. If any of the payments referred to in this Section 6 are not paid within the time specified after the Termination Date (hereinafter a “Delinquent Payment”), in addition to such principal sum, Metavante Technologies will pay to Executive interest on all such Delinquent Payments computed at the prime rate as announced from time to time by M&I ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, or its successor, compounded monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest shall be due and owing for payments which are delayed because of Executive’s failure to execute the Separation Agreement and Release or the rescission thereof.

(f) Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, to the extent any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) or other benefits pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c) during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination are not paid pursuant to a qualified plan, a bona fide sick leave or vacation plan, a disability plan, a death benefit plan or a plan providing medical expense reimbursements which are non-taxable or a separation pay plan (within the meaning of regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall pay the cost of such coverage during the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination and shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for the cost of such coverage six (6) months after Executive’s termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, including the preceding sentence, if the provision of the medical and dental benefits coverage described herein would be discriminatory within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to prevent such discrimination, Executive (or his survivors, as the case may be) shall pay the cost of all such coverage and neither Executive nor his survivors, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed by the Metavante Group for doing so.

7. No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced (except to the extent set forth in Section 6(a)(2)) whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

8. Excise Tax Payments.

(a) If any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member (a “Payment” or “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains, or has paid to the taxing authority on Executive’s behalf, an

amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Gross-Up Payment will be made to Executive if reducing the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax.

(b) A determination shall be made as to whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Section 8 and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, such determination to be made fifteen (15) business days after the Termination Date, or such other time as reasonably requested by Metavante Technologies or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). Such determination shall be made by a national independent accounting firm selected by Executive (the “Accounting Firm”). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the cost of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as they become due. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations, acceptable to Executive, both to Metavante Technologies and Executive. The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be paid by Metavante Technologies to Executive or paid by Metavante Technologies on behalf of Executive to the applicable government taxing authorities by means of payroll tax withholding if required by law or if timely requested by Executive when payment of all or any portion of the Excise Tax is due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an unqualified opinion that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Any such initial determination by the Accounting Firm of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon Metavante Technologies and Executive subject to the application of Section 9(c).

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an “Overpayment”) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an “Underpayment”). An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon notice (formal or informal) to Executive from any governmental taxing authority that the tax liability of Executive (whether in respect of the then current taxable year of Executive or in respect of any prior taxable year of Executive) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which Metavante Technologies has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment. An Overpayment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments with respect to which Executive had previously received a Gross-Up Payment. “Final Determination” shall be deemed to have occurred when Executive has received from the applicable governmental taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Executive’s tax liability by reason of the Overpayment and upon either (i) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Executive and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been

taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired, or (ii) the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to Executive’s applicable tax return. If an Underpayment occurs, Executive shall promptly notify Metavante Technologies and Metavante Technologies shall pay to Executive at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which the applicable governmental taxing authority has requested payment, an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties imposed on the Underpayment. If an Overpayment occurs, the amount of the Overpayment shall be treated as a loan by Metavante Technologies to Executive and Executive shall, within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of such Overpayment, pay to Metavante Technologies the amount of the Overpayment plus interest at an annual rate equal to the rate provided for in Section 1274(b)(2)(E) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which the Overpayment relates) was paid to Executive.

(d) If no Gross-Up Payment is made because reducing the Payments to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement by $50,000 or less would avoid the application of the Excise Tax, then the amount paid to Executive under Section 6(a)(1)(ii) of this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount necessary to avoid the Excise Tax; provided, however, the reduction will only be made if doing so would result in Executive retaining more after-tax than if the reduction were not made.

9. Unauthorized Disclosure. During the term of Executive’s employment with a Metavante Group Member, and during the two (2) year period following the Termination Date, Executive shall not make any Unauthorized Disclosure. For purposes of this Agreement, “Unauthorized Disclosure” shall mean disclosure by Executive without the consent of the Board to any person, other than an employee of a Metavante Group Member or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties as an executive of a Metavante Group Member or as may be legally required, of any confidential information obtained by Executive while in the employ of a Metavante Group Member (including, but not limited to, any confidential information with respect to any of Metavante Group’s customers or methods of operation) the disclosure of which he knows or has reason to believe will be materially injurious to the Metavante Group; provided, however, that the term “Unauthorized Disclosure” shall not include the use or disclosure by Executive, without consent, of any information known generally to the public (other than as a result of disclosure by him in violation of this Section 9) or any information not otherwise considered confidential by a reasonable person engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Metavante Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s obligation hereunder not to make any Unauthorized Disclosure shall continue after the end of the two-year period following Executive’s termination of employment with the Metavante Group as regards any information which is a trade secret as defined in Section 134.90 of the Wisconsin Statutes. In no event shall an asserted violation of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement.

10. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Metavante Technologies, its successors and assigns and Metavante Technologies shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,

consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Metavante Technologies would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representative.

11. Legal Fees and Expenses. Metavante Technologies, or a successor entity, shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably incurred by Executive as they become due as a result of (i) Executive’s hearing before the Board as contemplated in Section 4(d) of this Agreement, (ii) a dispute between Executive and the Internal Revenue Service (or any other taxing authority) with regard to an “Underpayment” (as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement), or (iii) Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or by any other plan or arrangement maintained by a Metavante Group Member or an Affiliate under which Executive is or may be entitled to receive benefits.

12. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement (including the Notice of Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, if to Metavante Technologies, Inc., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: Chief Administrative Officer or if to Executive, to the address set forth below Executive’s signature, or to such other address as the party may be notified. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third (3^rd) business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

13. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Metavante Group for which Executive may qualify. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Metavante Group shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

14. Settlement of Claims. Metavante Technologies’ obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which a Metavante Group Member may have against Executive or others.

15. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and Metavante Technologies. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this

Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

16. Non-Duplication. In the event that the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under any other agreement, plan, or program of Metavante Technologies or any other Metavante Group Member.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

18. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s employment agreement and the Employee Confidentiality and Property Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, if any, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

20. Headings. The headings herein contained are for reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

21. Withholding. The Metavante Group shall be entitled to withhold from amounts paid to Executive hereunder any federal, estate or local withholding or other taxes or charges which it is, from time to time, required to withhold. The Metavante Group shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any question as to the amount or requirement of any such withholding shall arise.

22. 409A. In order to facilitate compliance with section 409A of the Code, Metavante Technologies and the Executive shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due hereunder is to be made, except as may otherwise be permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Metavante Technologies has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officers, and Executive has executed this Agreement, as of the day and year first above written.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

Date Provided to Employee:

In order to receive severance benefits under my Change of Control Agreement with Metavante Technologies, Inc. (my “Change of Control Agreement”), I understand that I must sign and return this Release to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metavante. I must do so within 30 calendar days (due on ) from the date my employment is terminated.

I understand that my employment with Metavante has been terminated effective . I understand that regardless of whether I sign this release, I am entitled to certain unconditional benefits described in my Change of Control Agreement. I also understand that I will receive the conditional benefits described in my Change of Control Agreement after signing the release below.

General Release of Claims.

I, for myself, my heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasers”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Metavante from, and covenant not to ▇▇▇ Metavante with respect to, any and all claims I have against Metavante.

Claims to Which Release Applies.

This release applies both to claims that are now known or are later discovered. However, this release does not apply to any claims that may arise after the date I execute the release. Nor does this release apply to any claims that may not be released under applicable law.

Claims Released Include Age Discrimination and Employment Claims.

The claims released include, but are not limited to, (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq.), (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with Metavante or the conclusion of that employment and (3) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order that regulates the employment relationship except for vested benefits to be provided under employee benefit plans and amounts due under the Change of Control Agreement.

Release Covers Claims Against Related Parties.

For purposes of this release the term Metavante includes Metavante Technologies, Inc., and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions and related entities and its and their current and former directors, officers, shareholders, trustees, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Therefore, the claims released include claims I have against any such persons or entities.

The Terms “Claims” and “Release” are Construed Broadly.

As used in this release, the term “claims” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “rights”, causes of action (whether arising in law or equity)”, “damages”, “demands”, “obligations”, “grievances” and “liabilities” of any kind or character. Similarly, the term “release” shall be construed broadly and shall be read to include, for example, the terms “discharge” and “waive”.

Release Binding on Employee and Related Parties.

This release shall be binding upon me and my agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

Additional Consideration.

I have executed this release in consideration for additional benefits under my Change of Control Agreement. I acknowledge that these benefits represent consideration in addition to anything of value that I am otherwise entitled to receive from Metavante. These severance benefits are sufficient to support this release.

All Representations in Documents.

In entering into this release I acknowledge that I have not relied on any verbal or written representations by any Metavante representative. I agree that I am not entitled to any other severance benefits except those described in this release and in my Change of Control Agreement.

Opportunity to Consider this Release; Consultation with Attorney.

Voluntary Agreement.

I have entered into this release knowingly and voluntarily and understand that its terms are binding on me.

Suit in Violation of this Release—Loss of Benefits and Payment of Costs.

If I bring an action against Metavante in violation of this release or if I bring an action asking that the release be declared invalid or unenforceable, I agree that prior to the commencement of such an action I will tender back to Metavante all payments that I have received as consideration for this release. If my action is unsuccessful I further agree that I will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Metavante in its successful defense against the action. I acknowledge and understand that all remaining benefits to be provided to me as consideration for this release will permanently cease as of the date such action is instituted.
