 Vesting: Subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this
Agreement, this Award will vest as to 100% of the Number of Shares on the
Vesting Date set forth above, provided you have remained employed by the
Company through that date. The Vesting Date is the fourth anniversary of the
Date of Grant.


In the event of your Termination prior to the Vesting Date, the following
provisions will govern the vesting of this Award:





Termination due to Resignation or by Company for Cause: In the
event of your Termination prior to the Vesting Date due to your
resignation or termination of employment by the Company for Cause, this
Award will terminate without having vested as to any of the shares
subject to this Award and you will have no right or claim to anything
under this Award. For purposes of this Award, Cause means (i) you have
been convicted of a misdemeanor that involves moral turpitude or the
embezzlement of property of the Company or one of its affiliates; (ii)
you have been convicted of a felony under the laws of the United States
or any state thereof; (iii) your willful misconduct in the performance of
your duties as a Company employee; (iv) your gross negligence in the
performance of your duties as a Company employee; or (v) you have
persistently failed to follow the lawful instructions of your manager
relating to an activity within the scope of your duties. In order for a
condition identified in (iv) or (v) to constitute Cause, the Company
shall first have provided you with (A) at least thirty days’ written
notice of the alleged actions setting forth with specificity the events
or failures complained of and (B) an opportunity to remedy to the
reasonable satisfaction of your manager such condition within such thirty
day period and you shall have failed to remedy such condition.




 Termination due to Retirement or by Company for other than Cause: In the event of your Termination prior to the Vesting Date due to
your Retirement or termination of employment by the Company for reasons
other than Cause, you will vest pro-rata in a percentage of the Number of
Shares equal to your number of full months of service since the Date of
Grant divided by forty-eight months, rounded down to the nearest whole
share of Intuit Common Stock, and the Vesting Date under this Agreement
will be your Termination Date. For purposes of this Award, Retirement
means the Termination of your employment with the Company after you have
reached an age and service requirement determined by the Committee or its
delegate.




 Termination due to Death or Total Disability: In the event of
your Termination prior to the Vesting Date due to your death or Total
Disability, this Award will vest as to 100% of the Number of the Shares
on your Termination Date, and the Vesting Date under this Agreement will
be your Termination Date. For purposes of this Award, Total Disability
is defined in Section 5.6(a) of the Plan.




 Termination Within One Year Following Corporate Transaction: In
the event of your Termination prior to the Vesting Date, but within one
year following the date of a Corporate Transaction, this Award will vest
as to 100% of the Number of the Shares on your Termination Date, and the
Vesting Date under this Agreement will be your Termination Date. For
purposes of this Award, Corporate Transaction is defined in Section 26(h)
of the Plan.



 









 




 Forfeiture: You acknowledge and agree that if prior to the date on
which you vest fully in this Award you sell, gift or otherwise transfer the
shares you purchased that caused the Company to grant you this Award, this
Award will terminate and you will forfeit all rights to this Award and any
shares subject hereto, unless the Company determines in its sole discretion
that you continue to hold other shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a
number equal to or greater than the number of shares that caused the Company to
grant you this Award.


 Issuance of Shares under this Award: The Company will issue you the
shares subject to this Award on the later of: (1) the Vesting Date; or (2) to
the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the regulations and other
authority promulgated thereunder, your Voluntary Deferral of Share Issuance
Date. Until the date the shares are issued to you, you will have no rights as
a stockholder of the Company and the shares subject to this Award will not
count as owned by you under the Company’s share ownership requirements.


 Withholding Taxes: When the vesting and issuance of the shares under
this Award gives rise to a federal or other governmental income or employment
tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company, the Company will
withhold from the shares issued to you a number of whole shares having a Fair
Market Value equal to the minimum amount to be withheld to satisfy the
withholding obligation and will transmit the equivalent cash amount to the
applicable taxing authorities. If you have made a voluntary deferral of the
share issuance to a date later than the Vesting Date in accordance with the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, you agree that you will remit cash to
the Company (through payroll deduction or otherwise) in an amount sufficient to
satisfy any withholding obligation resulting from the vesting of the shares
under this Award. (As of the date of this Agreement, federal income tax
withholding is not required until share issuance. However, a FICA and Medicare
withholding obligation triggers on the Vesting Date even if you have made a
voluntary deferral of the share issuance to a date later than the Vesting
Date). Fair Market Value of the shares shall be determined in accordance with
Section 26(n) of the Plan on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is
to be determined.


 Voluntary Deferral of Share Issuance: To the extent permitted under
Code Section 409A and the regulations and other authority promulgated
thereunder, you may voluntarily elect to defer the issuance of the shares under
this Award to a date after the Vesting Date that is no later than the first day
of the fiscal year following the date on which you are no longer an employee of
the Company (your “Voluntary Deferral of Share Issuance Date”). You must make
this election by filing a voluntary deferral election request in a form
acceptable to the Committee or its delegate.


This Agreement (including the Plan, which is incorporated by reference)
constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to
this Award, and supersedes all prior agreements or promises with respect to the
Award. Except as provided in the Plan, this Agreement may be amended only by a
written document signed by the Company and you. Subject to the terms of the
Plan, the Company may assign any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, and this Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of,
the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on
transfer of the Option described in Section 14 of the Plan, this Agreement
shall be binding on your permitted successors and assigns (including heirs,
executors, administrators and legal representatives). All notices required
under this Agreement or the Plan must be mailed or hand-delivered to the
Company or to you at its or your respective addresses set forth in this
Agreement, or at such other address designated in writing by either of the
parties to the other.


The Company has signed this Award Agreement effective as the Date of Grant.
