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.

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.

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
