Re: Transition Terms Agreement (the “Agreement”)

Dear Xxxx:

     Thank you for your history of strong leadership at Intuit and for agreeing to provide ongoing support as changes occur at CTG. Your continued support through this transition period is important to our continued success.

     This letter confirms the terms of your separation from the employment of Intuit (referred to herein as your “Resignation”) in connection with the changes occurring at CTG, including the agreed benefits provided in exchange for your transition services and certain waivers and releases contained herein.

1.		Termination Date and Transition Activities. You and Intuit have agreed that your Resignation is effective as of June 14, 2007 (the “Resignation Date”). You will remain a non-officer employee of the company at your regular salary and benefits through August 10, 2007 (the “Termination Date”). In light of your current opportunities outside of Intuit, we agree that you may provide services outside the company between the Resignation Date and the Termination Date (the “Transition Period”), with the prior consent of our CEO, provided that such services do not conflict with the transition services you have agreed to provide Intuit through the Transition Period.
2.		Announcement. On or shortly after June 14, 2007, Intuit will announce your planned departure as of the Termination Date. Your status as a Section 16 officer of Intuit pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will terminate as of the Resignation Date. You agree that you will use your best efforts to work with any third party regarding the announcement of your future endeavors in order to coordinate with Intuit on the timing and content of such announcement.
3.		Acknowledgment of Payment of Wages. On the Termination Date, we will deliver to you a final paycheck that includes payment for all remaining accrued vacation, accrued salary, reimbursable expenses, and any similar payments due and owing to you from Intuit as of the Termination Date (collectively referred to as “Wages”).

4. Additional Payment. Following the effective date of the Termination Release attached as Exhibit A (the “Termination Release Effective Date”), you shall be provided all of the following benefits in exchange for, your transition services, your waiver and release of claims in favor of Intuit Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliated companies, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Company”) and because, for purposes of the Employment Agreement and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, as defined below, you have notified Intuit that the change in your title and responsibilities (in connection with changes occurring at CTG) is an “Involuntary Termination”:

	a.		A single lump sum payment of $875,000 payable as soon as reasonably possible following the Termination Release Effective Date;
	b.		A pro rata portion (based on the number of full months of employment with the Company from the date of grant of such award to the Termination Date divided by thirty-six (36)) of the restricted stock unit granted to you on August 25, 2006 (referred to herein as the “Restricted Stock Unit Agreement”) shall vest on the Termination Date. A net amount of these shares shall be distributed to you on the Termination Release Effective Date after reduction for withholding of applicable taxes.

		You acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to any other payments or benefits from the Company, including but not limited to any further payments or benefits pursuant to the provisions of your May 10, 2005 Employment Agreement as amended September 6, 2005 (referred to herein as the “Employment Agreement”), other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. We have provided to you a Stock Closing Statement and Intuit Employee Stock Award Information Memorandum that contains important information regarding your equity awards held by you as of the Resignation Date. All stock awards that remain outstanding as of the Termination Date shall remain exercisable (to the extent vested as of the Termination Date) for the time period set forth in the applicable agreements and thereafter to the extent unexercised shall be forfeited to the Company pursuant to the terms of such awards. Please review your stock award documentation carefully as there are no extensions to the expiration date of your stock options. Please contact Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at (650)944–6504 if you need more information.
5.		Consideration for Release. In consideration of your signing and not revoking this Agreement and your execution and not revoking following your Termination Date of the Termination Release set forth in Exhibit A, the Company agrees to provide you with the benefits listed in paragraphs 4(a) & 4(b). You understand that if you do not sign the Agreement or if you revoke the signed Agreement, or revoke the Termination Release set forth in Exhibit A, as described in Paragraph 15 below, the Company has no obligation to provide you with the benefits listed in paragraphs 4(a) & 4(b).
6.		Indemnity Coverage. The Company shall continue to indemnify you and maintain D&O coverage in accordance with your Indemnity Agreement dated January 6, 2003, with the Company.
