RECITALS

A.    Intuit and Harland are parties to a Supply Agreement made and entered into as of January 1, 2000 (“Supply Agreement”).
 
B.    Intuit and Harland are parties to the Term Sheet For Fulfillment Products and Services for FSG and P-TAP Non-Imprintable Products (the “Term Sheet”) made and entered into as of October 25, 2001 to be replaced and superceded by an addendum to the Supply Agreement (“Addendum”) by November 30, 2001.
 
C.    The parties are entering into this Buyback Agreement for the purchase by Harland from Intuit of certain additional Intuit-owned inventories to support fulfillment activities pursuant to the Term Sheet and the Addendum; in particular, Harland will purchase or buyback the inventory for FSG and P-TAP non-imprintable supplies products owned by Intuit for which Harland will provide warehousing and fulfillment services. These products are the ProSeries and EasyACCT products (“P-TAP) and the specific FSG non-imprintable products listed in Exhibit A, “Intuit Owned Supplies Inventories for Purchase by Harland” along with recent estimates of inventory quantities (collectively “Inventory”).

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.    INVENTORY PURCHASE EFFECTIVE DATES. The purchase amounts for the different Inventories will be determined by verifying the quantities owned by Intuit and on hand at Harland on the following effective dates:
 
(a)    For P-TAP Inventory products, the effective date will be end of day, September 30, 2001;
 
(b)    For other Inventory products, the effective date will be the day that the Inventory shipped from Intuit and Intuit’s suppliers have been received into inventory at Harland.

       
i.
    For FSG envelope Inventory products, the target date for Harland to have inventory available and ready to sell to customers will be October 22, 2001.
 
       
ii.
    For other FSG Inventory Products excluding storage boxes, the target date for Harland to have inventory available and ready to sell to customers will be November 5, 2001.
 
       
iii.
    For FSG storage boxes Inventory Products, the target date for Harland to have inventory available and ready to sell to customers will be February 4, 2002.

* We have requested confidential treatment for certain portions of this document pursuant to an application for confidential treatment sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We omitted such portions from this filing and filed them separately with the SEC.

 

 

2.    INVENTORY PURCHASE COSTS. The costs of the Inventory to be purchased by Harland will be based on the following:
 
(a)    For P-TAP Inventory products, the costs will be based on Harland’s product prices, which are referenced in Exhibit A.
 
(b)    For FSG envelopes Inventory products, the costs will be based on Harland’s product prices, which are referenced in Exhibit A.
 
(c)    For other Inventory products, the costs will be based on Intuit’s Inventory costs, which are referenced in Exhibit A, excluding the prices for the storage boxes. The storage box prices will be calculated closer to the date on which the products are available to sell to Intuit customers at Harland, which is scheduled to be February 1, 2002.
 
     Intuit reserves the right to change the cost basis of the other Inventory products referenced in subsection (c) above to Harland’s costs, based on Harland’s future pricing of these products.
 
3.    INVOICING. Once Harland purchases the Inventories from Intuit, Harland will invoice Intuit for these products as the products are shipped to end customers at the product prices referenced in Exhibit A, plus fulfillment fees as defined in the Addendum. Payment terms for such invoices will be as specified in Section 42 (Payment Terms) of the Supply Agreement, subject to the following exception. The exception to Section 42 (Payment Terms) is the two percent (2%) discount for early payment as it may apply to P-TAP non-imprintable products listed in this Buyback Agreement. Such P-TAP products will not receive this discount, and will be billed on a separate invoice from the other FSG products. All other FSG products will receive the two percent (2%) discount.
 
4.    INVENTORY QUALITY. Harland is not responsible for the quality of the Inventory products, or the shelf life of these Inventory products owned by Intuit and/or Intuit’s suppliers, as received by Harland as part of this Buyback Agreement.
 
5.    VERIFICATION AND PAYMENT TERMS FOR INVENTORY PURCHASE.
 
(a)    Harland shall provide Intuit with the physical count of on-hand Inventory quantities for any FSG and P-TAP non-imprintable Inventory products owned by Intuit as of the effective dates referenced in Section 1 above within 5 business days after the applicable effective dates.
 
(b)    Intuit will verify the Inventory quantities. This includes reconciling the Inventories shipped and received amounts, and accounting for any discrepancies. In lieu of Intuit’s on-site verification of counts, Intuit will not contest Harland’s Inventory counts.
 
(c)    Using the cost basis referenced in Section 2, Intuit will provide Harland with the invoice amounts for the Inventories.
 
(d)    Harland will verify the invoice amounts.
 
(e)    Intuit will send Harland an invoice for the total amount of the Inventory quantities, minus a 2% discount based solely on the amounts for FSG envelopes and other FSG products.
 
(f)    The Intuit invoice to Harland will be sent effective November 30, 2001 with a payment date for the entire amount 30 days after this.
 
(g)    Harland will submit to Intuit the entire amount of the November 30 invoice by December 30, 2001.
