ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Laura A. Fennell, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of
the Company, will pass upon the validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this
Registration Statement. As of November 30, 2009,
Ms. Fennell held 15,623 shares of the Companys common
stock, options to purchase 365,000 shares of Common Stock (of which 274,441 shares are exercisable
within the next 60 days), and 69,277 restricted stock units (4,161 of which are vested or will vest
in the next 60 days).
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrants Restated
Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care to the fullest
extent of the law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Registrants Bylaws provide that:
|
|
the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers and persons serving in such
capacities in other business enterprises (including, for example, its subsidiaries) at the request
of the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law;
|
|
|
|
the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in
connection with defending a proceeding (except that it is not required to advance expenses to a
person against whom the Registrant brings a claim for breach of the duty of loyalty, failure to act
in good faith, intentional misconduct, knowing violation of law or deriving an improper personal
benefit);
|
|
|
|
the rights conferred in the Registrants Bylaws are not exclusive, and the Registrant is
authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and employees; and
|
|
|
|
the Registrant may not retroactively amend the Registrants Bylaw provisions in a way that is
adverse to such directors, officers.
|
The Registrants policy is to enter into indemnity agreements with each of its and its
subsidiaries directors and officers. The agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify its
directors and officers under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
Registrants Bylaws. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide that the Registrant will advance
expenses (including attorneys fees) and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the
directors and officers in any action or proceeding, including any derivative action by or in the
right of the Registrant, on account of their services as directors or officers of the Registrant or
as directors or officers of any other company or enterprise when they are serving in such
capacities at the request of the Registrant. The Registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the
agreements to indemnify or advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to proceedings or
claims initiated by the indemnified party and not by way of defense, except with respect to
proceedings specifically authorized by the Registrants Board of Directors or brought to enforce a
right to indemnification under the indemnity agreement, the Registrants Bylaws, charter documents
of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or any statute or law. Under the indemnity agreements,
the Registrant is not obligated to indemnify the indemnified party:
|
|
for any expenses incurred by the indemnified party with respect to any proceeding instituted by
the indemnified party to enforce or interpret the agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that each of the material assertions made by the indemnified party in such proceeding
was not made in good faith or was frivolous;
|
|
|
|
for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the Registrant consents in advance in
writing to such settlement;
|
|
|
|
with respect to any proceeding brought by the Registrant against the indemnified party for
willful misconduct, unless a court determines that each of such claims was not made in good faith
or was frivolous;
|
|
|
|
on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the indemnified party for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the indemnified party of securities of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and related laws;
|
3
|
|
on account of the indemnified partys conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful misconduct or a knowing violation of
the law; or
|
|
|
|
if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such
indemnification is not lawful.
|
The indemnification provision in the Registrants Bylaws, and the indemnity agreements entered
into between the Registrant and its directors and executive officers, may be sufficiently broad to
permit indemnification of the Registrants officers and directors for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
The indemnity agreements with the Registrants officers and directors require the Registrant
to maintain director and officer liability insurance to the extent reasonably available. The
Registrant currently maintains a director and officer liability insurance policy.

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:
|
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee
table in the effective registration statement;
4
(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
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 registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans
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.
(h) 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 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.
5

has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,

Exhibit 99.01
INTUIT INC.
2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
(As Amended on December 15, 2009)
1. PURPOSE
. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate
eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the
Company, its Parent or Subsidiaries by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Companys
future performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Bonuses, Stock Appreciation
Rights (SARs) and Restricted Stock Units. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in
Section 26.
2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
2.1
Number of Shares Available
. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 21, 65,000,000 Shares are
available for grant and issuance under the Plan. Shares that are subject to: (a) issuance upon
exercise of an Option or SAR granted under this Plan but cease to be subject to the Option or SAR
for any reason other than exercise of the Option; (b) an Award granted under this Plan but are
forfeited or are repurchased by the Company at the original issue price; or (c) an Award granted
under this Plan that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued, will return to the pool of
Shares available for grant and issuance under this Plan. In any fiscal year of the Company no more
than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares subject to Awards granted in such fiscal year may have an
Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than Fair Market Value on the applicable
date of grant. In order that ISOs may be granted under this Plan, no more than 65,000,000 shares
shall be issued as ISOs. The Company may issue Shares which are authorized but unissued or
treasury shares pursuant to the Awards granted under this Plan. At all times the Company will
reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the requirements of all
outstanding Options and SARs granted under the Plan and all other outstanding but unvested Awards
granted under the Plan.
2.2
Adjustment of Shares
. If the number of outstanding Shares is changed by a stock
dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination,
reclassification, extraordinary dividend of cash or stock or similar change in the capital
structure of the Company, without consideration, then (a) the number of Shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan and the limits that are set forth in Section 2.1; (b) the Exercise Prices
of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options and SARs; (c) the number of Shares subject
to other outstanding Awards; (d) the 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 maximum number of shares that may be
issued to an individual in any one calendar year set forth in Section 3; and (e) the number of
Shares that are granted as Awards to Non-Employee Directors as set forth in Section 10, will be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the
Company and compliance with applicable securities laws; provided that fractions of a Share will not
be issued but will either be replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such
fraction of a Share or will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, as determined by the
Committee; and provided further that the Exercise Price of any Option may not be decreased to below
the par value of the Shares.
3. ELIGIBILITY
. ISOs may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who
are also employees) of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary. All other Awards may be granted
to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees), Non-Employee Directors and
consultants of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary; provided that such consultants, contractors
and advisors render bona fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a
capital-raising transaction. The Committee (or its designee under 4.1(c)) will from time to time
determine and designate among the eligible persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the
Plan. A person may be granted more than one Award under the Plan. However, no person will be
eligible to receive more than 4,000,000 Shares issuable under Awards granted in any calendar year,
other than new employees of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary (including new employees who
are also officers and directors of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary), who are eligible to
receive up to a maximum of 6,000,000 Shares issuable under Awards granted in the calendar year in
which they commence their employment.
1
4. ADMINISTRATION.
4.1
Committee Authority
. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or by the
Board acting as the Committee. Except for the automatic grant of Awards to Non-Employee Directors
pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the
Plan, the Committee will have full power to implement and carry out the Plan. Without limiting the
previous sentence, the Committee will have the authority to:
|
(a)
|
|
construe and interpret the Plan, any Award Agreement and any other agreement or
document executed pursuant to the Plan;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any
Award, including determining the subplans, forms and agreements used in connection with
the Plan; provided that the Committee may delegate to the President, the Chief
Financial Officer or the officer in charge of Human Resources, in consultation with the
General Counsel, the authority to approve revisions to the forms and agreements used in
connection with the Plan that are designed to facilitate Plan administration both
domestically and abroad, and that are not inconsistent with the Plan or with any
resolutions of the Committee relating to the Plan;
|
|
|
(c)
|

4.2
Committee Interpretation and Discretion
. Any determination made by the Committee
with respect to any Award pursuant to Section 4.1 above shall be made in its sole discretion at the
time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or Award, at
any later time, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Company and all persons
having an interest in any Award under the Plan. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of the
Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or Company to the Committee for
review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the
Company and Participant. The Committee may delegate to one or more Executive Officers, the
authority to review and resolve disputes with respect to Awards held by Participants who are not
Insiders, and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant.
Notwithstanding any provision of the
2
Plan to the contrary, administration of the Plan shall at all times be limited by the requirement
that any administrative action or exercise of discretion shall be void (or suitably modified when
possible) if necessary to avoid the application to any Participant of immediate taxation and/or tax
penalties under Section 409A of the Code.
5. OPTIONS
. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will determine (a)
whether the Options will be ISOs or NQSOs; (b) the number of Shares subject to the Option, (c) the
Exercise Price of the Option, (d) the period during which the Option may be exercised, and (e) all
other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and the Plan.
5.1
Form of Option Grant
. Each Option granted under the Plan will be evidenced by a
Stock Option Agreement that will expressly identify the Option as an ISO or NQSO. The Stock Option
Agreement will be substantially in a form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same
for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b))
has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan.
5.2
Date of Grant
. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the
Committee makes the determination to grant the Option, unless a later date is otherwise specified
by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement, and a copy of the Plan and the current Prospectus
for the Plan (plus any additional documents required to be delivered under applicable laws), will
be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the Option is granted. The Stock
Option Agreement, Plan, the Prospectus and other documents may be delivered in any manner
(including electronic distribution or posting) that meets applicable legal requirements.
5.3
Exercise Period and Expiration Date
. An Option will be exercisable within the
times or upon the occurrence of events determined by the Committee and set forth in the Stock
Option Agreement governing such Option, subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, and subject to
Company policies established by the Committee (or by individuals to whom the Committee has
delegated responsibility) from time to time with respect to vesting during leaves of absences. The
Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the last date that the Option may be exercised (the
Expiration Date
); provided that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of
seven years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that no ISO granted to a Ten
Percent Stockholder will be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the Option
is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from
time to time, periodically or otherwise (including, without limitation, upon the attainment during
a Performance Period of performance goals based on Performance Factors), in such number of Shares
or percentage of Shares subject to the Option as the Committee determines.
5.4
Exercise Price
. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the
Committee when the Option is granted and, subject to the limit of Section 2.1, may not be less than
100% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant); provided in addition, that the Exercise Price of
any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that the Exercise Price with respect to an
Option that is granted in connection with a merger or other acquisition as a substitute or
replacement award for options held by optionees of the acquired entity may be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date such Option is granted if such Exercise Price is based
on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the
agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition. Payment for the Shares purchased must be
made in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement.
5.5
Procedures for Exercise
. A Participant or Authorized Transferee may exercise
Options by following the procedures established by the Companys Stock Administration Department,
as communicated and made available to Participants through the stock pages on the Intuit Legal
Department intranet web site, and/or through the Companys electronic mail system.
5.6
Termination
.
(a)
Vesting
. Any Option granted to a Participant will cease to vest on the
Participants Termination Date, if the Participant is Terminated for any reason other than total
disability (as defined in this Section 5.6(a)) or death. Any Option granted to a Participant who
is an employee who has been actively employed by the Company or
3
any Subsidiary for one year or more or who is a director, will vest as to 100% of the Shares
subject to such Option, if the Participant is Terminated due to total disability or death. For
purposes of this Section 5.6(a), total disability shall mean: (i) (A) for so long as such
definition is used for purposes of the Companys group life insurance and accidental death and
dismemberment plan or group long term disability plan, that the Participant is unable to perform
each of the material duties of any gainful occupation for which the Participant is or becomes
reasonably fitted by training, education or experience and which total disability is in fact
preventing the Participant from engaging in any employment or occupation for wage or profit; or,
(B) if such definition has changed, such other definition of total disability as determined under
the Companys group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plan or group long term
disability plan; and (ii) the Company shall have received from the Participants primary physician
a certification that the Participants total disability is likely to be permanent. Any Option held
by an employee who is Terminated by the Company, or any Subsidiary or Parent within one year
following the date of a Corporate Transaction, will immediately vest as to such number of Shares as
the Participant would have been vested in twelve months after the date of Termination had the
Participant remained employed for that twelve month period.
(b)
Post-Termination Exercise Period
. Following a Participants Termination, the
Participants Option may be exercised to the extent vested as set forth in Section 5.6(a):
(i) no later than 90 days after the Termination Date if a Participant is Terminated for any
reason except death or Disability, unless a longer time period, not exceeding five years, is
specifically set forth in the Participants Stock Option Agreement; provided that no Option may be
exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option; or
(ii) no later than (A) twelve months after the Termination Date in the case of Termination due
to Disability or (B) eighteen months after the Termination Date in the case of Termination due to
death or if a Participant dies within three months of the Termination Date, unless a longer time
period, not exceeding five years, is specifically set forth in the Participants Stock Option
Agreement; provided that no Option may be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option.
5.7
Limitations on Exercise
. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of
Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option; provided that the minimum number will
not prevent a Participant from exercising an Option for the full number of Shares for which it is
then exercisable.
5.8
Limitations on ISOs
. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date
of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant
during any calendar year (under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market Value of Shares
on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant
during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to
become exercisable in that calendar year will be ISOs, and the Options for the Shares with a Fair
Market Value in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. If
the Code is amended to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted
to be subject to ISOs, such different limit shall be automatically incorporated into the Plan and
will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of the Codes amendment.
5.9
Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions of Shares Acquired on Exercise of an ISO
. If
a Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO
on or before the later of (a) the date two years after the Date of Grant, and (b) the date one year
after the exercise of the ISO (in either case, a
Disqualifying Disposition
), the Company
may require the Participant to immediately notify the Company in writing of such Disqualifying
Disposition.
5.10
Modification, Extension or Renewal
. The Committee may modify, extend or renew
outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor; provided that
any such action may not, without the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participants
rights under any Option previously granted; and provided, further that without stockholder
approval, the modified, extended, renewed or new Option may not have a lower Exercise Price than
the outstanding Option. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended,
4
renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The
Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants
affected, by a written notice to them; provided, however, that unless prior stockholder approval is
secured, the Exercise Price may not be reduced below that of the outstanding Option.
5.11
No Disqualification
. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no term of
the Plan relating to ISOs will be interpreted, amended or altered, and no discretion or authority
granted under the Plan will be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the
Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422
of the Code.
6. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.
6.1
Awards of Restricted Stock
. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company
to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions. The Committee will
determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the Purchase
Price, the restrictions under which the Shares will be subject and all other terms and conditions
of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:
6.2
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award
will be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, which will be in substantially a form
(which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company
(pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan. A Participant accepts a Restricted Stock Award by signing
and delivering to the Company a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement with full payment of the
Purchase Price, within thirty days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement was
delivered to the Participant. If the Participant does not accept the Restricted Stock Award within
thirty days, then the offer of the Restricted Stock Award will terminate, unless the Committee
determines otherwise.
6.3
Purchase Price
. The Purchase Price for a Restricted Stock Award will be
determined by the Committee and, subject to the limit of Section 2.1, may be less than Fair Market
Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares) on the date the Restricted Stock Award is
granted. Payment of the Purchase Price must be made in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan and
the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, and in accordance with any procedures established by the
Companys Stock Administration Department, as communicated and made available to Participants
through the stock pages on the Intuit Legal Department intranet web site, and/or through the
Companys electronic mail system.
6.4
Terms of Restricted Stock Awards
. Restricted Stock Awards will be subject to such
restrictions as the Committee may impose. These restrictions may be based on completion of a
specified number of years of service with the Company or upon completion of the performance goals
based on Performance Factors during any Performance Period as set out in advance in the
Participants Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. Prior to the grant of a Restricted Stock Award,
the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period
for the Restricted Stock Award; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure
performance goals, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the
Participant. Prior to the payment for Shares to be purchased under any Restricted Stock Award, the
Committee shall determine the extent to which such Restricted Stock Award has been earned.
Performance Periods may overlap and a Participant may participate simultaneously with respect to
Restricted Stock Awards that are subject to different Performance Periods and having different
performance goals and other criteria.
6.5
Termination During Performance Period
. If a Participant is Terminated during a
Performance Period or vesting period, for any reason, then such Participant will be entitled to
payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Restricted Stock Award only to
the extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement, unless the Committee will determine otherwise.
5
7. STOCK BONUS AWARDS.
7.1
Awards of Stock Bonuses
. A Stock Bonus Award is an award to an eligible person of
Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units) for services to be
rendered or for past services already rendered to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. All
Stock Bonus Awards shall be made pursuant to a Stock Bonus Agreement, which shall be in
substantially a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an
officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply
with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. No payment will be required for
Shares awarded pursuant to a Stock Bonus Award, but the number of Shares awarded is subject to the
limit of Section 2.1.
7.2
Terms of Stock Bonus Awards
. The Committee will determine the number of Shares to
be awarded to the Participant under a Stock Bonus Award and any restrictions thereon. These
restrictions may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of service with the
Company or upon satisfaction of performance goals based on Performance Factors during any
Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participants Stock Bonus Agreement. If the Stock
Bonus Award is to be earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals, the Committee shall: (a)
determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Stock Bonus Award;
(b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals; and (c)
determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the issuance of
any Shares or other payment to a Participant pursuant to a Stock Bonus Award, the Committee will
determine the extent to which the Stock Bonus Award has been earned. Performance Periods may
overlap and a Participant may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonus Awards that
are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria.
The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and
criteria as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals
applicable to a Stock Bonus Award to take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules
and to make such adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact
of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.
7.3
Form of Payment to Participant
. The Committee will determine whether the earned
portion of a Stock Bonus Award will be paid to the Participant currently or on a deferred basis
with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee may determine. To the extent
permissible under law, the Committee may also permit a Participant to defer payment under a Stock
Bonus Award to a date or dates after the Stock Bonus Award is earned provided that the terms of the
Stock Bonus Award and any deferral satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and
provided further that payout shall not be deferred beyond March 15 of the year following the year
of vesting unless a deferral election in compliance with Section 409A of the Code has been made.
Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair
Market Value of the Shares earned under a Stock Bonus Award on the date of payment, and in either a
lump sum payment or in installments.
7.4
Termination of Participant
. In the event of a Participants Termination during a
Performance Period or vesting period, for any reason, then such Participant will be entitled to
payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Stock Bonus Award only to the
extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Stock Bonus Agreement, unless
the Committee determines otherwise.
8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
8.1
Awards of SARs
. A Stock Appreciation Right (
SAR
) is an award to an
eligible person that may be settled in cash, or Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock),
having a value equal to the value determined by multiplying the difference between the Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price and the number of Shares with respect to
which the SAR is being settled. The SAR may be granted for services to be rendered or for past
services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary. All SARs shall be made
pursuant to a SAR Agreement, which shall be in substantially a form (which need not be the same for
each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has
from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Plan.
6
8.2
Terms of SARs
. The Committee will determine the terms of a SAR including, without
limitation: (a) the number of Shares deemed subject to the SAR; (b) the Exercise Price and the time
or times during which the SAR may be settled; (c) the consideration to be distributed on settlement
of the SAR; and (d) the effect on each SAR of the Participants Termination. The Exercise Price of
the SAR will be determined by the Committee when the SAR is granted and, subject to the limit of
Section 2.1, may not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value. A SAR may be awarded upon
satisfaction of such performance goals based on Performance Factors during any Performance Period
as are set out in advance in the Participants individual SAR Agreement. If the SAR is being
earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals, then the Committee will: (x) determine the
nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for each SAR; and (y) select from among
the Performance Factors to be used to measure the performance, if any. Prior to settlement of any
SAR earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a SAR Agreement, the Committee
shall determine the extent to which such SAR has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and
Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to SARs that are subject to different
performance goals and other criteria. The Exercise Price of an outstanding SAR may not be reduced
without stockholder approval.
8.3
Exercise Period and Expiration Date
. A SAR will be exercisable within the times
or upon the occurrence of events determined by the Committee and set forth in the SAR Agreement
governing such SAR. The SAR Agreement shall set forth the last date that the SAR may be exercised
(the
Expiration Date
); provided that no SAR will be exercisable after the expiration of
seven years from the date the SAR is granted. The Committee may also provide for SARs to become
exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise (including, without
limitation, upon the attainment during a Performance Period of performance goals based on
Performance Factors), in such number of Shares or percentage of the Shares subject to the SAR as
the Committee determines.
8.4
Form and Timing of Settlement
. Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole
Shares or a combination thereof.
9. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
9.1
Awards of Restricted Stock Units
. A Restricted Stock Unit (
RSU
) is an
award to an eligible person covering a number of Shares that may be settled in cash, or by issuance
of those Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock) for services to be rendered or for past
services already rendered to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. The Committee may authorize
the issuance of RSUs to certain eligible persons who elect to defer cash compensation. All RSUs
shall be made pursuant to a RSU Agreement, which shall be in substantially a form (which need not
be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to
Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan (including the limit set forth in Section 2.1). RSUs granted to
Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 10 hereof shall be governed by that Section.
9.2
Terms of RSUs
. The Committee will determine the terms of a RSU including, without
limitation: (a) the number of Shares deemed subject to the RSU; (b) the time or times at which the
RSU vests; (c) the consideration to be distributed on settlement, and the effect on each RSU of the
Participants Termination. A RSU may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals based
on Performance Factors during any Performance Period as are set out in advance in the Participants
individual RSU Agreement. If the RSU is being earned upon satisfaction of performance goals, then
the Committee will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period
for the RSU; (y) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure the performance,
if any; and (z) determine the number of Shares deemed subject to the RSU. Prior to settlement of
any RSU earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a RSU Agreement, the
Committee shall determine the extent to which such RSU has been earned. Performance Periods may
overlap and participants may participate simultaneously with respect to RSUs that are subject to
different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of
Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may be
determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals applicable to the RSUs
to take into account changes in law and accounting and to make such
7
adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary
or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.
9.3
Form and Timing of Settlement
. The portion of a RSU being settled may be paid
currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalents, if any, as the
Committee determines. To the extent permissible under law, the Committee may also permit a
Participant to defer payment under a RSU to a date or dates after the RSU is earned provided that
the terms of the RSU and any deferral satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and
provided further that payout shall not be deferred beyond March 15 of the year following the year
of vesting unless a deferral election in compliance with Section 409A of the Code has been made.
Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole Shares or a combination thereof, either in a lump
sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee determines.
10. AUTOMATIC GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.
10.1
Eligibility
. Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive grants of RSUs
pursuant to this Section 10.
10.2
Initial Grant
. Each Non-Employee Director automatically will be granted RSUs
covering the number of Shares equal to $250,000 (subject to pro-ration as described herein), based
on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the grant date, which grant date shall be the first
business day after such Non-Employee Director first becomes a member of the Board. If a
Non-Employee Director previously was an employee of the Company and did not receive RSUs pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, he or she automatically will be granted RSUs covering the
number of Shares equal to $250,000 (subject to pro-ration as described herein), based on the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the grant date, which grant date shall be the first regularly
scheduled RSU grant date for employees after the Non-Employee Director no longer is employed by the
Company. RSUs granted pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be called an
Initial Grant
.
The number of Shares subject to an Initial Grant shall be pro-rated by multiplying the number of
shares comprising the full grant amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the
number of calendar months the Non-Employee Director will have served on the Board between the grant
date (or, the date the Non-Employee Director ceased to be an employee, if earlier) and the November
30 immediately preceding the last vesting date of the grant (inclusive) (assuming the Non-Employee
Director serves for such entire amount of time), and the denominator of which is 48. For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, a Non-Employee Director shall be credited with a calendar month of
service if he or she serves on the Board for one or more days in such calendar month.
10.3
Succeeding Grant
. On the first business day following the annual meeting of the
Companys stockholders each year, each Non-Employee Director who has served continuously as a
member of the Board since his or her Initial Grant automatically will be granted RSUs covering the
number of Shares equal to $175,000, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the grant date.
RSUs granted pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be called a
Succeeding Grant
.
10.4
Committee Grants
. Each Non-Employee Director who is newly appointed as a member
of any Board Committee automatically will be granted RSUs covering the number of Shares equal to
$57,500 (subject to pro-ration as described herein), based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares
on the grant date, which grant date shall be the first business day after he or she is appointed to
such Board Committee. The grant described in the foregoing sentence shall be pro-rated by
multiplying the number of Shares comprising the full grant amount by a fraction, the numerator of
which is equal to the number of calendar months the Non-Employee Director will have served on the
Board Committee between the grant date and the November 30 immediately preceding the vesting date
of the grant (inclusive) (assuming the Non-Employee Director serves for such entire amount of
time), and the denominator of which is 12. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a Non-Employee
Director shall be credited with a calendar month of service if he or she serves on the Board
Committee for one or more days in such calendar month. On the first business day following the
annual meeting of the Companys stockholders each year, each Non-Employee Director who has served
continuously as a member of such Board Committee since the date he or she was appointed to such
Board Committee will be granted RSUs covering the number of Shares equal to $57,500, based on the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the grant date.
8
Each Non-Employee Director who is newly appointed as the Chairperson of a Board Committee
automatically will be granted RSUs covering the number of Shares equal to $17,500 (subject to
pro-ration as described herein), based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the grant date,
which grant date shall be the first business day after he or she is appointed to the position of
Chairperson. The grant described in the foregoing sentence shall be pro-rated by multiplying the
number of Shares comprising the full grant amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to
the number of calendar months the Non-Employee Director will have served as Chairperson between the
grant date and the November 30 immediately preceding the vesting date of the grant (inclusive)
(assuming the Non-Employee Director serves for such entire amount of time), and the denominator of
which is 12. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a Non-Employee Director shall be credited
with a calendar month of service if he or she serves as the Chairperson of the Board Committee for
one or more days in such calendar month. On the first business day following the annual meeting of
the Companys stockholders each year, each Non-Employee Director who has served continuously as the
Chairperson of a Board Committee since the date he or she was appointed to such Board Committee
will be granted RSUs covering the number of Shares equal to $17,500, based on the Fair Market Value
of the Shares on the grant date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Chairperson of a Board Committee shall receive grants of RSUs
pursuant to both the first and second paragraphs of this Section 10.4. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Non-Employee Director only shall receive grants of RSUs pursuant to this Section 10.4
with respect to two Board Committees in any year, notwithstanding that the Non-Employee Director
may serve on more than two Board Committees. RSUs granted pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be
called
Committee Grants
.
10.5
Vesting
(a)
Initial Grants
. Initial Grants shall vest in four (4) installments on the
December 1 following the grant date and December 1 of each of the three succeeding calendar years,
so long as the Non-Employee Director does not experience a Termination. The number of shares that
vest on each vesting date shall be equal to the product of (a) the number of Shares comprising the
full grant amount (assuming no pro-ration)
multiplied by
(b) 0.25. However, if an Initial
Grant has been pro-rated, the number of Shares that vest on the first vesting date (but not any
other vesting date) shall be pro-rated, such that it shall be equal to the product of (a) the
number of Shares comprising the full grant amount (assuming no pro-ration)
multiplied by
(b) 0.25
multiplied by
(c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar
months the Non-Employee Director will have served on the Board between the grant date and the
November 30 immediately preceding the first vesting date and the denominator of which is 12. For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, a Non-Employee Director shall be credited with a calendar month
of service if he or she serves on the Board, or as a member or Chairperson of any Board Committee,
for one or more days in such calendar month.
(b)
Succeeding Grants
. Succeeding Grants shall vest in two (2) equal installments on
December 1 first following the grant date and December 1 of the next succeeding calendar year, so
long as the Non-Employee Director does not experience a Termination.
(c)
Committee Grants
. Each Committee Grant shall vest as to 100% of the Shares on the
December 1 following the grant date, so long as the Non-Employee Director does not experience a
Termination.
(d)
Disability or Death
. RSUs granted to a Non-Employee Director will vest as to 100%
of the Shares if the Non-Employee Director incurs a total disability or dies. For purposes of

10.9
Fractional Shares
. For purposes of this Section 10, if a calculation of the
number of Shares subject to a grant results in a fractional share, such number of Shares shall be

11. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES.

. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may be made by any of
the following methods (or any combination of such methods) that are described in the applicable

Price (or a commitment for payment from the NASD Dealer designated by the Participant or Authorized
Transferee in the case of an exercise by means of a same-day sale or margin commitment), and
compliance with other conditions and procedures established by the Company for the purchase of
shares, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the name of Participant or Authorized
Transferee (or in the name of the NASD Dealer designated by the Participant or Authorized
Transferee in the case of an exercise by means of a same-day sale or margin commitment) and
shall deliver certificates representing the Shares (in physical or electronic form, as
appropriate). The Shares may be subject to legends or other restrictions as described in Section
15 of the Plan.
12. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
12.1
Withholding Generally
. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of
Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the
delivery of any certificate(s) for the Shares. If a payment in satisfaction of an Award is to be
made in cash, the payment will be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local
withholding tax requirements.
12.2
Stock Withholding
. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax
liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax
withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld,
the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding
tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of
whole Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld,
determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by
a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in accordance with the
requirements established by the Committee and be in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.
13. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP
. No Participant or Authorized Transferee will have any
rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to
the Participant or Authorized Transferee. After Shares are issued to the Participant or Authorized
Transferee, the Participant or Authorized Transferee will be a stockholder and have all the rights
of a stockholder with respect to the Shares including the right to vote and receive all dividends
or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if the Shares are
Restricted Stock, any new, additional or different securities the Participant or Authorized
Transferee may become entitled to receive with respect to the Shares by virtue of a stock dividend,
stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company will be
subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock; provided further, that the Participant or
Authorized Transferee will have no right to retain such dividends or distributions with respect to
Shares that are repurchased at the Participants original Exercise Price or Purchase Price pursuant
to Section 15.
14. TRANSFERABILITY
. No Award and no interest therein, shall be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and no Award may be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process;
provided, however that with the consent of the Committee a Participant may transfer a NQSO to an
Authorized Transferee. Transfers by the Participant for consideration are prohibited. Without
such permission by the Committee, a NQSO shall like all other Awards under the Plan be exercisable
(a) during a Participants lifetime only by the Participant or the Participants guardian or legal
representative; and (b) after Participants death, by the legal representative of the Participants
heirs or legatees.
11
15. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES.
At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to
itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right to repurchase all or a portion of a
Participants Shares that are not Vested (as defined in the Award Agreement), following the
Participants Termination, at any time within ninety days after the later of (a) the Participants
Termination Date or (b) the date the Participant purchases Shares under the Plan, for cash or
cancellation of purchase money indebtedness with respect to Shares, at the Participants original
Exercise Price or Purchase Price; provided that upon assignment of the right to repurchase, the
assignee must pay the Company cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares over
the original Purchase Price.
16. CERTIFICATES.
All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan
(whether in physical or electronic form, as appropriate) will be subject to stock transfer orders,
legends and other restrictions that the Committee deems necessary or advisable, including without
limitation restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any
rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Shares may be listed.
17. ESCROW.
To enforce any restrictions on a Participants Shares, the Committee may require
the Participant to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or
other transfer instruments approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the
Company or an agent designated by the Company, to hold in escrow until such restrictions have
lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions
to be placed on the certificates.
18. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
. An Award shall not be effective unless
the Award is in compliance with all applicable state, federal and foreign securities laws, rules
and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of grant
of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for
Shares under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the
Company determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration or other
qualification of such shares under any state, federal or foreign law or ruling of any governmental
body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company shall be under no
obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration,
qualification or listing requirements of any state, federal or foreign securities laws, stock
exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability
or failure to do so.
19. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY
. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall
confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to
continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or limit in any way
the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate Participants employment or other
relationship at any time, with or without cause.
20. REPRICING PROHIBITED; EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS
. The repricing of Options or SARs is
prohibited without prior stockholder approval. The Committee may, at any time or from time to
time, authorize the Company, with prior stockholder approval, in the case of an Option or SAR
exchange, and the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the
surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy
from a Participant an Option previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or other
consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the Participant shall agree;
provided, however, that in no event will an Option with an Exercise Price above the Fair Market
Value at the time of such proposed buyout be repurchased.
21. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.
21.1
Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor
. Except as provided for in
Section 10.5(e), in the event of a Corporate Transaction any or all outstanding Awards may be
assumed or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption or replacement shall be binding
on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent
Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to
12
Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of
the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the
Company held by the Participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to
repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant. In the event such successor
corporation, if any, refuses to assume or replace the Awards, as provided above, pursuant to a
Corporate Transaction or if there is no successor corporation due to a dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, such Awards shall immediately vest as to 100% of the Shares subject thereto at such
time and on such conditions as the Board shall determine and the Awards shall expire at the closing
of the transaction or at the time of dissolution or liquidation.
21.2
Other Treatment of Awards
. Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants
under Section 21.1, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, any outstanding Awards shall be
treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution,
liquidation or sale of assets.
21.3
Assumption of Awards by the Company
. The Company, from time to time, also may
substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an
acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in
substitution of such other companys award, or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted
under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under the
Plan. Such substitution or assumption shall be permissible if the holder of the substituted or
assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan if the other company
had applied the rules of the Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted
by another company, the terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged (except that the
exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such option will
be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects
to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with
a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.
22. ADOPTION AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.
The Plan was initially adopted by the Compensation and
Organizational Development Committee on August 26, 2004. The Plan became effective upon approval
by stockholders of the Company, consistent with applicable laws.
23. TERM OF PLAN.
The Plan will terminate on December 9, 2011, unless extended beyond such
date by stockholder approval.
24. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.
The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan
in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument
to be executed pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Board nor the
Committee shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any
manner that requires such stockholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated
thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rule
promulgated thereunder or pursuant to the listing requirements of the national securities market on
which the Shares are listed. In addition, no amendment that is detrimental to a Participant may be
made to any outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Unless otherwise provided,
an Award shall be governed by the version of the Plan in effect at the time such Award was granted.
25. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN; UNFUNDED PLAN.
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board,
the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of
the Plan shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such
additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be
either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The Plan shall be unfunded.
Neither the Company nor the Board shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be
represented by Awards made pursuant to the Plan. Neither the Company, the Committee, nor the Board
shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under the Plan.

reserved for issuance under this Plan. Such number shall be subject to adjustments effected in
accordance with Section 14 of this Plan. The Company intends this Plan to qualify as an employee
stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments to or replacements of
such Section), and this Plan shall be so construed. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are
defined in Section 26 below. Any term not expressly defined in this Plan that is defined in

2. Purpose

shall be final and binding upon all Participants. The Committee shall have full power and
authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, including
determining the subplans, forms and agreements used in connection with this Plan; provided that the
Committee may delegate to the President, the Chief Financial Officer or the officer in charge of
Human Resources, in consultation with the General Counsel or her designee, the authority to approve
revisions to the forms and agreements used in connection with this Plan that are designed to
facilitate administration of the Plan both domestically and abroad and that are not inconsistent
with the Plan or with any resolutions of the Committee relating to the Plan. The Committee may
amend this Plan as described in Section 25 below. Members of the Committee shall receive no
compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than
standard fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by Committee
members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration
of this Plan shall be paid by the Company.

beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected.
6. Participation in this Plan
. An eligible employee may become a Participant in an Offering
Period on the first Offering Date after satisfying the eligibility requirements by following the
enrollment procedures established by the Company and enrolling in the Plan by the enrollment
deadline established by the Company before such Offering Date. The enrollment deadline shall be the
same for all eligible employees with respect to a given Offering Period. An eligible employee who
does not timely enroll after becoming eligible to participate in such Offering Period shall not
participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such employee follows
the enrollment procedures established by the Company and enrolls in this Plan by the enrollment
deadline established by the Company before a subsequent Offering Date. A Participant will
automatically participate in each Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of
the prior Offering Period unless he or she withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or
terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Sections 11 or 12 below. A
Participant is not required to file any additional agreement in order to continue participation in
this Plan. An employee may only participate in one Offering Period at a time.
7. Grant of Option on Enrollment
. Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with
respect to an Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to
such Participant of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing (a) the amount accumulated in such employees
payroll deduction account during the applicable Accrual Period in such Offering Period by (b) the
lower of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Companys Common
Stock on the Offering Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of the Companys
Common Stock), or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of the
Companys Common Stock on the Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of
the Companys Common Stock); provided, however, that the number of shares of the Companys
2
Intuit Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Common Stock subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the maximum
number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Sections 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) below with
respect to the applicable Accrual Period. The fair market value of a share of the Companys Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in Section 8 hereof.
8. Purchase Price
. The purchase price per share at which a share of Common Stock will be
sold to Participants in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of:
(a) The Fair Market Value on the Offering Date; or
(b) The Fair Market Value on the Purchase Date
;
provided, however,
that in no event may the purchase price per share of the Companys
Common Stock be below the par value per share of the Companys Common Stock.
9. Payment Of Purchase Price; Changes In Payroll Deductions; Issuance Of Shares.
(a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during
each Accrual Period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the Participants compensation in
one percent (1%) increments not less than two percent (2%), nor greater than ten percent (10%) or
such lower limit set by the Committee. Compensation shall mean base salary and commissions and
shall not include annual bonuses. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday of each
Accrual Period and shall end on the last payday that occurs in such Accrual Period unless sooner
altered or terminated as provided in this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last payday
that occurs in an Accrual Period is within five business days prior to the Purchase Date, the last
payday shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding payday.
(b) A Participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions for any subsequent
Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions before the
beginning of such Offering Period by the deadline established by the Company and in accordance with
the Companys administrative procedures for the Plan.
(c) All payroll deductions made for a Participant are credited to his or her account under
this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the
payroll deductions. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the
Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions.
(d) On each Purchase Date, so long as this Plan remains in effect and provided that the
Participant has not timely submitted a signed and completed withdrawal form before that date which
notifies the Company that the Participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this
Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the
Participant as of that date returned to the Participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in
the Participants account to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock reserved under the option
granted to such Participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is
exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in Section 8
of this Plan. Any cash remaining in a Participants account after such purchase of shares because
the amount is insufficient to purchase a whole share shall be returned to the Participant, without
interest. Any cash remaining in a Participants account after such purchase due to the limitations
in Section 10 below shall be returned to the Participant, without interest. Subject to Section 12
below, no Common Stock shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose
participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.
3
Intuit Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(e) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall deliver shares
representing the shares purchased.
(f) During a Participants lifetime, such Participants option to purchase shares hereunder
is exercisable only by him or her. The Participant will have no interest or voting right in shares
covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised. Shares issued for the benefit
of a Participant under this Plan will be issued to an account in the name of the Participant. The
Company may require shares to be issued to an account established by a broker dealer approved by
the Company.
10. Limitations on Shares to be Purchased.
(a) No Participant shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when
aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans
of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the
Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which
the employee is a Participant in this Plan.
(b) No Participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount on any
single Purchase Date. Prior to the commencement of any Offering Period, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, set a Maximum Share Amount. In no event shall the Maximum Share Amount exceed the
amounts permitted under Section 10(e) below. If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all
Participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the deadline established by the
Company to enroll or change the rate of payroll deductions for the next Offering Period. Once the
Maximum Share Amount is set, it shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Offering
Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above.
(c) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all Participants exceeds the
number of shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company will make a pro rata
allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as
the Committee shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall give written
notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a Participants option to
each Participant affected thereby.
(d) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a Participants account which are not used to
purchase stock due to the limitations in this Section 10 shall be returned to the Participant as
soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Accrual Period, without interest.
(e) No more than twice the number of shares that the Participant could have purchased at the
price on an Offering Date may be purchased by a Participant on any single Purchase Date within the
Offering Period.
11. Withdrawal.
(a) Each Participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by withdrawing from
the Plan in accordance to the procedures established by the Company by the deadline established by
the Company for withdrawals.
4
Intuit Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(b) Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to
the withdrawn Participant, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate.
In the event a Participant withdraws from this Plan in accordance with Section 11(a), he or she may
not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may
participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such
withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth
above in Section 6 for initial participation in this Plan.
12. Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination of a Participants employment for any reason, including retirement, death or
the failure of a Participant to remain an eligible employee under Section 4 above, immediately
terminates his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll deductions credited
to the Participants account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to
his or her legal representative, without interest.
(b) For purposes of this Section 12, an employee will not be deemed to have terminated
employment or failed to remain an eligible employee in the case of sick leave, military leave, or
any other leave of absence approved by the Committee; provided that such leave is for a period of
not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by
contract or statute.
13. Return of Payroll Deductions
. In the event a Participants interest in this Plan is
terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event this Plan is
terminated, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Participant all payroll deductions credited
to such Participants account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a Participant
in this Plan.
14. Capital Changes
. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been
exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under
this Plan but have not yet been placed under option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock
covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on
the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
effected without receipt of consideration; and provided further, that the price per share of
Common Stock shall not be reduced below its par value per share. Such adjustment shall be made by
the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Offering Period
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action and the accrued
payroll deductions will be returned to each Participant without interest, unless otherwise provided
by the Committee. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances,
shorten each Offering Period in progress and establish a new Purchase Date (the Special Purchase
Date) upon which the accrued payroll deductions of each Participant who does not elect to withdraw
his or her
5
Intuit Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
payroll deductions will be used to purchase whole shares with any remaining cash balance in a
Participants account being returned to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable
following the Special Purchase Date. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, or the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation, each option under this Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be
substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation.
In the event the successor corporation does not assume or substitute such options, the Committee
shall shorten each Offering Period in progress and establish a Special Purchase Date upon which the
accrued payroll deductions of each Participant who does not elect to withdraw his or her payroll
deductions will be used to purchase whole shares with any remaining cash balance in a Participants
account being returned to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable following the
Special Purchase Date. The price at which each share may be purchased on such Special Purchase
Date shall be calculated in accordance with Section 8 above as if Purchase Date were replaced by
Special Purchase Date.
The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make
provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations,
recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding
Common Stock, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other
corporation; provided, that the price per share of Common Stock shall not be reduced below its par
value per share.
15. Nonassignability
. Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participants account nor any
rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under this Plan may be
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of
descent and distribution or as provided in Section 22 hereof) by the Participant. Any such attempt
at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect.
16. Reports
. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in this Plan. Each
Participant shall receive promptly after the end of each Offering Period a report of his or her
account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the
per share price thereof and any cash remaining in the Participants account after the shares are
purchased.
17. Notice of Disposition
. In order that the Company may properly report the compensation
attributable to a Participants disposition of shares purchased under this Plan, the Company may
require Participants to keep shares purchased under this Plan in an account established with a
broker dealer approved by the Company until the Participant sells, gifts or transfers such shares
by descent or distribution. The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend
or legends on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the
Companys transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the shares. The obligation of
the Participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such
legend on the certificates.
18. No Rights to Continued Employment
. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option
hereunder shall confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or restrict the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employees
employment.
19. Equal Rights And Privileges
. All eligible employees shall have equal rights and
privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an employee stock purchase
plan within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the related
regulations. Any provision of this Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor
provision of the
6
Intuit Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Committee, be reformed to comply
with the requirements of Section 423. This Section 19 shall take precedence over all other
provisions in this Plan.
20. Notices
. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in
connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form
specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the
receipt thereof.
21. Term; Stockholder Approval.
This Plan became effective October 7, 1996, the date on
which it was adopted by the Board and was approved by the stockholders of the Company, in a manner
permitted by applicable corporate law, within twelve (12) months after the date this Plan was
adopted by the Board. No purchase of shares pursuant to this Plan occurred prior to such
stockholder approval. This Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of (a) termination of
this Plan by the Board or the Committee (which termination may be effected at any time), (b)
issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan, or (c) July
27, 2015.
22. Death of a Participant
. In the event of a Participants death, payroll deductions in his
or her account shall be refunded to the Participants legal representative in accordance with the
Companys then current Payroll Departments procedures for payment of a deceased employees wages.
Any shares purchased under the Plan on behalf of a Participant are to be treated in accordance with
the Participants will or the laws of descent and distribution.
23. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitation on Sale of Shares
. Shares shall not be
issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery
of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or
foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the shares may then be
listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to
such compliance.
24. Applicable Law
. The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the
conflict of laws rules) of the State of California.
25. Amendment or Termination of this Plan
. The Committee may at any time amend, terminate or
extend the term of this Plan, except that any such termination cannot affect options previously
granted under this Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously granted
which would materially adversely affect the right of any Participant.
Notwithstanding the prohibition against affecting options previously granted under this Plan, this
Plan or an Offering Period may be terminated by the Committee on a Purchase Date or by the
Committees setting a new Purchase Date with respect to an Offering Period then in progress if the
Committee determines that termination of the Plan and/or the Offering Period is in the best
interests of the Company and the stockholders or if continuation of the Plan and/or the Offering
Period would cause the Company to incur adverse accounting charges as a result of a change in the
generally accepted accounting rules or interpretations thereof that are applicable to this Plan.
The Company must obtain stockholder approval for each amendment of this Plan for which stockholder
approval is required by the Code, the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
upon which the Companys shares may then be listed, or any other applicable laws or
7

regulation. Such stockholder approval must be obtained, in a manner permitted by applicable
corporate law, within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment by the Committee.
