Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On March 7, 2007, Intuit Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., on behalf of the several underwriters named therein in connection with the offer and sale of senior notes in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). The underwriting agreement includes the terms and conditions of the sale of the senior notes, indemnification and contribution obligations, and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type.
     The senior notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are being issued pursuant to the Indenture for Senior Debt Securities, dated as of March 7, 2007, (the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), and related Officers’ Certificate, dated March 12, 2007 (the “Officers’ Certificate”), with the following principal terms.
      5.40% Senior Notes due 2012. The aggregate principal amount of 5.40% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) being issued and sold is $500,000,000. The 2012 Notes are being issued at a price to the public of 99.995% of their principal amount. These notes will mature on March 15, 2012, bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.40% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2007, and have a yield to maturity of 5.401%. The 2012 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at the Company’s option, at the applicable redemption price described below. In addition, if certain changes occur in the credit ratings of the 2012 Notes within 90 days of a change of control (or announcement of a change of control) of the Company, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2012 Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
      5.75% Senior Notes due 2017. The aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) being issued and sold is $500,000,000. The 2017 Notes are being issued at a price to the public of 99.556% of their principal amount. These notes will mature on March 15, 2017 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2007, and have a yield to maturity of 5.809%. The 2017 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at the Company’s option, at the applicable redemption price described below. In addition, if certain changes occur in the credit ratings of the 2017 Notes within 90 days of a change of control (or announcement of a change of control) of the Company, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2017 Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
      The redemption price of the Notes will be equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption: (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments thereon discounted to the date of redemption, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined in the Notes) plus 0.15% with respect to the 2012 Notes and 0.20% with respect to the 2017 Notes.
     The Notes are also subject to covenants that limit the Company’s ability to grant liens on its facilities and to enter into sale and lease-back transactions, subject to certain exceptions.
     The Notes are subject to customary events of default, including: (a) the Company’s failure to pay principal or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (b) the Company’s failure to pay interest for 30 days after the interest becomes due and payable; (c) the Company’s failure to perform, or its breach of, any other covenant or warranty in the Indenture for 60 days after either the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given the Company written notice of the default or breach in the manner required by the Indenture; (d) specified events involving the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; (e) a failure by the Company to repurchase Notes of a series tendered for repurchase following the Company’s offer to repurchase described above; and (f) (1) a failure to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, on any indebtedness of the Company (other than indebtedness of the Company owing to any of its subsidiaries) outstanding in an amount in excess of $100 million and continuance of this failure to pay or (2) a default on any indebtedness of the Company (other than indebtedness owing to any of its subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such indebtedness in an amount in excess of $100 million without such indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (1) or (2) above, after either the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given us written notice of the default or breach in the manner required by the Indenture. If an event of default resulting from specified events involving the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture provides that the entire principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes outstanding will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder. Upon any other event of default with respect to any series of the Notes, the Indenture provides that either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount

of the outstanding notes of that series may declare the principal amount of all the outstanding notes of that entire series due and payable immediately.

 As Representatives of the
   several Underwriters listed
   in Schedule 1 hereto
c/o J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
270 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10017
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Intuit Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), $500,000,000 principal amount of its 5.40% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) and $500,000,000 principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2012 Notes” and, together with the 2017 Notes, the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of March 7, 2007 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).
     The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:
     1.  Registration Statement . The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-54610), including a prospectus (the “Basic Prospectus”), relating to the securities (including the Securities) to be issued from time to time by the Company. The Company has also filed, or proposes to file, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The registration statement, as amended at the date of this Agreement, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration

 


 

Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Prospectus” means the Basic Prospectus as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities and the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities together with the Basic Prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Effective Time” means the effective date of the Registration Statement with respect to the offering of Securities, as determined for the Company pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act and Item 512 of Regulation S-K, as applicable.
     At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated March 7, 2007, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B hereto.
     2.  Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters . (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 99.395% of the principal amount of 2012 Notes and 98.906% of the principal amount of 2017 Notes, in each case plus accrued interest, if any, from March 12, 2007 to the Closing Date (as defined below). The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities to be purchased as provided herein.
     (b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Securities as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter

2


 

and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.
     (c) Payment for and delivery of the Securities will be made at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell, 1600 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, California 94025 at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on March 12, 2007, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
     (d) Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company to the Representatives against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, for the account of the Underwriters, of one or more global notes representing the Securities (collectively, the “Global Notes”), with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global Notes will be made available for inspection by the Representatives not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date.
     (e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.
     3.  Representations and Warranties of the Company . The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:
     (a)  Registration Statement and Prospectus. (i) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or related to the offering has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission; as of the effective date of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Trust

3


 

Indenture Act”), and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and as of the date of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and as of the Closing Date, the Prospectus did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to (x) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act or (y) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
          (ii) No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Preliminary Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in any Preliminary Prospectus.
     (b)  Time of Sale Information .

No statement of material fact included in the Prospectus has been omitted from the Time of Sale Information and no statement of material fact included in the Time of Sale Information that is required to be included in the Prospectus has been omitted therefrom.
     (c)  Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. Other than the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Company or its agents and representatives (other than a

     (d)  Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and none of such documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
     (e)  Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and the changes in their cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement present fairly the information required to be stated therein; the other financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus has been derived from the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries and presents fairly the information shown thereby; and the pro forma financial information and the related notes thereto or

     (k)  The Securities . The Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and, when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided herein, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each of clauses (i) and (ii) except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.
     (b)  Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: the third and sixth full paragraphs under the heading “Underwriters” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
     (c)  Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided , further , that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal

20


 

defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 5 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
     (d)  Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on

21


 

the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     (e)  Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
     (f)  Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
     8.  Effectiveness of Agreement . This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
     9.  Termination . This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq

22


 

Stock Market LLC; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus; or (v) the representation in Section 3(b) is incorrect in any respect.
     10.  Defaulting Underwriter . (a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
     (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.
     (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal

23


 

amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
     (d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
     11.  Payment of Expenses . (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.
     (b) If (i) the Company fails to satisfy the conditions under Section 6 (other than delivery of the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6(h), (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(ii), (iii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(v) (other than if the Company and the Underwriters subsequently enter into another agreement for the Underwriters to underwrite the same or substantially similar securities of the Company), or (iv) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.
     12.  Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors

24


 

and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.
     13.  Survival . The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.
     14.  Certain Defined Terms . For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning ascribed to the term “majority-owned subsidiary” set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (d) the term “significant subsidiary” means Digital Insight Corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, if either (i) the assets of such subsidiary represented 10% or more of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of July 31, 2006 or (ii) the total revenue of such subsidiary represented 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated total revenue as of July 31, 2006.
     15.  Miscellaneous . (a) Authority of the Representatives. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

Annex A-1
Form of Opinion of Fenwick & West LLP
     (a) The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act and the Indenture was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act as of the date and time specified in such opinion; each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specified in such opinion; and to such counsel’s knowledge, based solely upon oral representations made to such counsel by the Commission and the Company, no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or in connection with the offering is pending or threatened by the Commission.
     (b) The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein and that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; and the Indenture appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.
     (c) The Company and each of its significant subsidiaries have been duly organized and are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each State of the United States in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
     (d) The authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the heading “Capitalization.”
     (e) The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder; and all action required to be taken by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions provided for therein to be taken as of the Closing Date has been duly and validly taken.
     (f) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a

30


 

valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.
     (g) The Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when duly authenticated as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided in this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
     (h) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
     (i) Each Transaction Document conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
     (j) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the Securities and compliance by the Company with the terms thereof and the consummation of the transactions provided for in the Transaction Documents do not (i) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that is specifically listed on an attachment to such opinion 1 , (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or (iii) result in the violation of (A) any United States federal, California state or New York state law or statute or rule or regulation of any United States federal, California State or New York State governmental or regulatory authority, or (B) any judgment, order of any court or arbitrator specifically naming the Company as being bound, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any such breach or violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     (k) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any United States federal or California State court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the Company to execute, deliver or perform, as of the Closing Date, each of the Transaction Documents, to issue or sell the Securities as of the Closing Date and for the Company to comply with the terms thereof and to consummate the transactions provided for in the Transaction Documents, except for (i) the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, (ii) the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and (iii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications as
 
1   To include.

31


 

may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters.
     (l) To the knowledge of such counsel, (A) there are no governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending, or threatened in writing delivered to the Company, that are required under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement and that are not so described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and (B) there are no contracts and other documents that are required under the Securities Act to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and that have not been so filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
     (m) The descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus of statutes, governmental and regulatory proceedings and contracts and other documents are accurate in all material respects. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus under the heading “United States Tax Considerations” and the statements incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus from Item 3 of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006 to the extent that they constitute summaries of matters of law or governmental regulation or legal conclusions, fairly summarize the matters described therein in all material respects.
     (n) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, will not be required to register as an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
     Such counsel shall also state that they have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company and with representatives of its independent accountants and counsel at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel assume no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except to the extent expressly provided above), nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to cause such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement, at the Effective Time (as determined pursuant to item 512(b) of Regulation S-K, and including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the Effective Time), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that the Time of Sale Information, other than any “electronic road shows” listed on Annex B to the Underwriting Agreement, as to which such counsel expresses no belief, at the Time of Sale contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and the Closing Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact

32


 

necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial and related statistical data contained therein and that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act, as to which such counsel need express no opinion).
     In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials that are furnished to the Underwriters.
     The opinion of Fenwick & West LLP described above shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.

33


 

Annex A-2
Form of In-House Counsel Opinion
     (a) To the knowledge of such counsel, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no lawsuits, governmental investigations, or arbitration proceedings (collectively, “Actions”) pending, or threatened in writing against the Company or any of its subsidiaries before any court or governmental agency or before any arbitrator that are likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     (b) To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no current or pending Actions that are required under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information or Prospectus and that are not so described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

  The Company may at its option redeem the Securities of either series, at any time, in whole or in part, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of the Securities to be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined in each of the 2012 Notes and 2017 Notes), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 0.15% (15 basis points), in the case of the 2012 Notes, and the Treasury Rate plus 0.20% (20 basis points), in the case of the 2017 Notes, plus, in the case of each of clause (i) or (ii), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
 
   
 
  “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding that redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue.

  “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States

 


 

     
 
  Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
 
   
 
  “Independent Investment Banker” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if either of the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute another primary treasury dealer.
 
   
 
  “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date.
 
   
 
  “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
   
 
  “Reference Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and two other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company, and each of their respective successors and any other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company.
 
   
Purchase of Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event:
  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
 
   
 
  Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each securityholder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating:
 
   
 
       (1) that a Change of Control has occurred or is about to occur and that such holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);
 
   
 
       (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Repurchase Event or, if the Change of Control is about to occur, the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;
 
   
 
       (3) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 calendar days nor later than 60 calendar days from the date such notice is mailed);
 
   
 
       (4) the instructions, as determined by the Company, that a holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased; and
 
   
 
       (5) that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the specified purchase date, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control.
 
   
 
  On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
 
   
 
       (1) accept for payment all the Securities or portions of the Securities properly tendered pursuant to its offer;
 
   
 
       (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all the Securities or portions of the Securities properly tendered; and
 
   
 
       (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities being purchased by the Company.
 
   
 
  The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each holder of Securities properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to a particular series of Securities, if, with respect to such series of Securities, a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities of such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
 
   
 
  The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e)(1) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Securities, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Re purchase Event provisions of the Securities by virtue of such conflict.
 
   

 


 

     
 
  “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of Voting Stock of the Company; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company are not Continuing Directors.
 
   
 
  “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event.
 
   
 
  “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the board of directors of the Company who (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election.
 
   
 
  “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of S&P); and the equivalent Investment Grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.
 
   
 
  “Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Company, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(e)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the

 


 

     
 
  case may be.
 
   
 
  “Ratings Event” means the occurrence of the events described in (a) or (b) below on, or within 90 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies): (a) in the event the Securities are rated by both Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) on the Rating Date as Investment Grade, the rating of the Securities shall be reduced so that the Securities are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies, or (b) in the event the Securities (1) are rated Investment Grade by one Rating Agency and below Investment Grade by the other Rating Agency, the rating of the Securities by either Rating Agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories, as well as between Rating Categories) so that the Securities are then rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies or (2) are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on the Rating Date, the rating of the Securities by either Rating Agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories, as well as between Rating Categories). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Ratings Event).
 
   
 
  “Rating Date” means the date which is 90 days prior to the earlier of (i) a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control.
 
   
 
  “Rating Category” means (i) with respect to S&P, any of

 


 

     
 
  the following categories: BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or Moody’s used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of the Securities has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and — for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).
 
   
 
  “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.
 
   
Certain Covenants:
  In addition to the covenants described in Article 10 of the Indenture, while the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes are Outstanding, the Company shall be bound by the following covenants:
 
   
 
  A. Limitation on Liens
 
   
 
  The Company will not directly or indirectly incur, and will not permit any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to directly or indirectly incur, any indebtedness secured by a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other similar encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) upon (a) any Principal Property of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries or (b) any shares of stock or indebtedness of any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (whether such Principal Property, shares or indebtedness are now existing or owned or hereafter created or acquired), in each case, unless prior to or at the same time, the Securities (together with, at the option of the Company, any other indebtedness or guarantees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries ranking equally in right of payment with the Securities or such guarantee) are equally and ratably secured with or, at the option of the Company, prior to, such secured indebtedness.
 
   
 
  The foregoing restriction does not apply to:
 
   
 
       (1) Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness existing with respect to any person at the time such person becomes a subsidiary of the Company or a subsidiary of

 


 

     
 
  any subsidiary of the Company, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such person becoming a subsidiary;
 
   
 
       (2) Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness existing at the time of acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a subsidiary of any subsidiary of the Company of such property, shares of stock or indebtedness (which may include property previously leased by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and leasehold interests on such property, provided that the lease terminates prior to or upon the acquisition) or Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property, shares of stock or indebtedness, or Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness to secure any indebtedness for borrowed money incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 18 months after, the latest of the acquisition of such property, shares of stock or indebtedness or, in the case of property, the completion of construction, the completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of the property and related costs and expenses, the construction or the making of the improvements;
 
   
 
       (3) Liens securing indebtedness of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 
   
 
       (4) Liens existing on the date of the initial issuance of the Securities (other than any additional Securities);
 
   
 
       (5) Liens on property or assets of a person existing at the time such person is merged into or consolidated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at the time such person becomes a subsidiary of the Company, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a person to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of the merger, consolidation, or sale, lease, other disposition or other such transaction;
 
   
 
       (6) Liens created in connection with a project financed with, and created to secure, a Non-recourse Obligation;
 
   
 
       (7) Liens created to secure the Securities;
 
   
 
       (8) Liens imposed by law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanic’s Liens and other similar Liens, in each case for sums not yet overdue by more than

 


 

     
 
  30 calendar days or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or other Liens arising out of judgments or awards against such Person with respect to which such Person shall then be proceeding with an appeal or other proceedings for review and Liens arising solely by virtue of any statutory or common law provision relating to banker’s Liens, rights of set-off or similar rights and remedies as to deposit accounts or other funds maintained with a creditor depository institution;
 
   
 
       (9) Liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges not yet due or payable or subject to penalties for non-payment or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;
 
   
 
       (10) Liens to secure the performance of bids, trade contracts, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds, performance bonds and other obligations of a like nature; or
 
   
 
       (11) any extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien referred to in clauses (1) through (10) without increase of the principal of the indebtedness secured by such Lien (except to the extent of any fees or other costs associated with any such extension, renewal or replacement); provided, however, that any Liens permitted by any of clauses (1) through (10) shall not extend to or cover any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements to such property.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries will be permitted to incur indebtedness secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Securities, provided that, after giving effect to such indebtedness, the aggregate amount of all indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under clauses (1) through (11) above), together with all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to the second paragraph of the “Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions” covenant described below, does not exceed 20% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien. The Company and its subsidiaries also may, without equally and ratably securing the Securities, create or incur Liens that extend, renew, substitute or replace (including successive extensions, renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in

 


 

     
 
  part, any Lien permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence.
 
   
 
  B. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions
 
   
 
  The Company will not directly or indirectly, and will not permit any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries directly or indirectly to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction for the sale and leasing back of any property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless:
 
   
 
       (1) such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the initial issuance of the Securities (other than any additional Securities);
 
   
 
       (2) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries of any property by one of its subsidiaries;
 
   
 
       (3) such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries within a period of not more than three years);
 
   
 
       (4) the Company would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to the second paragraph of the “Limitation on Liens” covenant described above; or
 
   
 
       (5) the Company applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business or to the retirement of long-term indebtedness within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of long-term indebtedness, the Company may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation, such Securities to be credited at the cost thereof to it.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to such transactions, together with all indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the third paragraph of the “Limitation on Liens” covenant described above, does not exceed 20% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company calculated as of the closing date of the sale and leaseback transaction.

 


 

     
Additional Definitions:
  “Attributable Debt” means, with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the sale price of the property so leased multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction and the denominator of which is the base term of such lease, and (2) the total obligation (discounted to the present value at the implicit interest factor, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), included in the rental payments) of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction.
 
   
 
  “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means, as of the time of determination, the aggregate amount of the assets of the Company and the assets of its consolidated subsidiaries after deducting (1) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, service marks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other intangible assets and (2) all current liabilities, as reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP contained in an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q timely filed or any amendment thereto (and not subsequently disclaimed as not being reliable by the Company) pursuant to the Exchange Act by the Company prior to the time as of which “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” is being determined.
 
   
 
  “guarantee” means any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of any person directly or indirectly guaranteeing any indebtedness of any other person and any obligation, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, of such person (1) to purchase or pay (or advance or supply funds for the purchase or payment of) such indebtedness of such other person (whether arising by virtue of partnership arrangements, or by agreement to keep well, to purchase assets, goods, securities or services, to take or pay or to maintain financial statement conditions or otherwise) or (2) entered into for purposes of assuring in any other manner the obligee of such indebtedness of the payment thereof or to protect such obligee against loss in respect thereof (in whole or in part); provided, however, that the term “guarantee” will not include endorsements for collection or deposit in the ordinary course of business. The term “guarantee,” when used as a verb, has a correlative

 


 

     
 
  meaning.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “ Securities ”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2007 (herein called the “ Indenture, ” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “ Trustee, ” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the Officers’ Certificate dated March 12, 2007, pursuant to Sections 1.02 and 3.01 of the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such payments to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 0.15% (15 basis points).
     “ Remaining Scheduled Payments ” means, with respect to any Security to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Security, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.
     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
     Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Securities, or portions thereof, called for redemption.
     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor,

6


 

of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture or in the Company’s Officers’ Certificate, dated March 12, 2007 and delivered pursuant to the Indenture, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or such Officers’ Certificate.

     The Company currently proposes to sell up to an aggregate of $1,000,000,000 principal amount of Debt Securities, consisting of an aggregate of $500,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 5.40% Senior Notes due 2012 and $500,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 5.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (collectively, the “ Takedown Securities ”), under the Registration Statement (the “ Offering ”), all of which will be sold to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (the “ Underwriters ”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated March 7, 2007, by and among the Company and the Underwriters (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”).
     In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following:
  (1)   Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 19, 2000;

  (5)   the resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) adopted at a meeting on January 17, 2001 and January 17, 2007 and the resolutions of the Pricing Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors adopted at a meeting on March 7, 2007, approving the issuance of the Debt Securities and other related matters (collectively, the “ Resolutions ”);

  (8)   a Management Certificate addressed to us and dated of even date herewith executed by the Company containing factual and other representations.
     In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all persons or entities executing the same, the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any documents reviewed by us, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where authorization, due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof (other than the due authorization of the documents described above by the Company). We have also assumed that the certificates representing the Debt Securities will be, when issued, properly signed by authorized officers of the Company or their agents, properly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to the intended recipients with the intent that the Company be bound thereby.
     In connection with our opinion expressed below, we have assumed that, at or prior to the time of the delivery of any of the Takedown Securities, there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity of the Takedown Securities. We also assume that the Indenture has been validly executed and delivered by the Trustee.
     As to matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have relied solely upon our examination of the documents referred to above and have assumed the current accuracy and completeness of the information included in the documents referred to above and the representations and warranties made by representatives of the Company to us, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Management Certificate. We have made no independent investigation or other attempt to verify the accuracy of any of such information or to determine the existence or non-existence of any other factual matters.
     We are admitted to practice law in the state of California, and this opinion is rendered only with respect to, and no opinion is expressed herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, (i) the existing laws of the United States of America, (ii) the existing laws of the state of California, and (iii) solely with respect to whether or not the Debt Securities are the valid and binding obligations of the Company, the existing laws of the state of New York.

 


 

     This opinion is qualified by, and is subject to, and we render no opinion with respect to, the following limitations and exceptions to the enforceability of the Takedown Securities:
  (a)   the effect of the laws of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors;
 
  (b)   the effect of general principles of equity and similar principles, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, public policy and unconscionability, and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and
 
  (c)   the effect of laws relating to usury or permissible rates of interest for loans, forebearances or the use of money.
     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Takedown Securities are issued, sold and delivered (i) in the manner and for the consideration approved by an authorized officer of the Company in accordance with the Resolutions and as stated in the Prospectus Supplement, and (ii) pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, then the Takedown Securities, will be validly issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company.
     We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and any amendments or supplements thereto.
