Such decision by the Committee shall be final and binding.
5.		Other Matters:

	(a)		The Award granted to an employee in any one year, or at any time, does not obligate the Company or any subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company to grant an award in any future year or in any given amount and should not create an expectation that the Company (or any subsidiary or other affiliate) might grant an award in any future year or in any given amount.
	(b)		Nothing contained in this Agreement creates or implies an employment contract or term of employment or any promise of specific treatment upon which you may rely.
	(c)		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may reduce your Award if you change classification from a full-time employee to a part-time employee.
	(d)		This Award is not part of your employment contract (if any) with the Company, your salary, your normal or expected compensation, or other renumeration for any purposes, including for purposes of computing benefits, severance pay or other termination compensation or indemnity.
	(e)		Because this Agreement relates to terms and conditions under which you may be issued shares of Common Stock of Intuit Inc., a Delaware corporation, an essential term of this Agreement is that it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice of law principles of Delaware or other jurisdictions. Any action, suit, or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Award granted hereunder shall be brought in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in Santa Clara County in the State of California.

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.
