COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC or the Company) has prepared the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes.  It is recommended that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments necessary, including those of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows for such interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The consolidated condensed statement of income for the quarter ended July 2, 2010, has been recast from the one presented in the previously filed Form 10-Q, to reflect discontinued operations of two businesses sold in fiscal 2011 as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011.

Contractual work in process balances at July 1, 2011, and April 1, 2011, of $1,205 million and $1,162 million, respectively, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
 
Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress do not have an allowance for credit losses and any adjustments to unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress related to credit quality, should they occur, would be accounted for as a reduction of revenue. Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress resulting from sales primarily to the United States and other governments that are expected to be collected after one year totaled $537 million, including $379 million in claims (see Note 14).
 
Depreciation expense was $182 million and $167 million for the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively.
 
The components of accumulated other comprehensive losses, net of taxes are as follows:
 
   
As of
 
(Amounts in millions)

Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
New Accounting Standards
 
In November 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts—A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.”  The guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The amendments in the update became effective at the beginning of CSC’s fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on CSC’s consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition—A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.”  The update establishes a revenue recognition model for contingent consideration that is payable upon achievement of an uncertain event, referred to as a milestone. The statement (1) limits the scope of this Issue to research or development arrangements and (2) requires that certain guidance be met for an entity to apply the milestone method (i.e., record the milestone payment in its entirety in the period received). The guidance in this Issue applies to milestones in multiple deliverable arrangements involving research or development transactions. The amendments in the update became effective at the beginning of CSC’s fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on CSC’s financial statements.

COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements-A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force," which amends Topic 605: Revenue Recognition. This update addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. The amendments in the update establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and eliminate the residual method of allocation. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. Vendors are required to determine their best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis.  The Company adopted amendments in the update effective at the beginning of fiscal 2012 on a prospective basis and they did not have a material effect on CSC's financial statements. The Company did not have material new revenue arrangements in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to be accounted for under the new guidance.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, "Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements-A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force," which amends Topic 985: Software to exclude from the scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality.  In addition, if the software contained in the tangible product is essential to the tangible product's functionality, the software is excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. The Company adopted amendments in the update effective at the beginning of fiscal 2012 on a prospective basis and they did not have a material effect on CSC's financial statements. The Company did not have material new revenue arrangements in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to be accounted for under the new guidance.
 
Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
 
On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendments in the Update become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on CSC's consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
Note 3—Out of Period Adjustments
 
First Quarter of Fiscal 2012
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company’s Managed Services Sector (MSS) segment recorded five out of period adjustments primarily to cost of services, reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $5 million which should have been recorded in prior fiscal years. Four of these adjustments totaling $4 million relate to MSS’ Nordic operations and $1 million to other MSS operations. The Nordic adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 included two adjustments totaling $2 million which were attributable to an understatement of accrued expenses associated with vendor invoices related to fiscal 2011.  These adjustments were identified late in the fiscal 2011 closing process, and due to the immaterial amounts involved, were not included in the Company’s consolidated fiscal 2011 statements. The Nordic adjustments also included (i) $1 million of outsourcing contract costs amortized over a contract term (including an extension rather than just the original contract term) attributable to fiscal 2006-2012, and (ii) a $1 million error in the accounting for an operating lease attributable to fiscal 2010.  The $1 million operating lease adjustment is a refinement of an error previously corrected and reported in fiscal 2011. The $1 million adjustment related to other MSS operations was attributable to an understatement of accrued expenses in fiscal year 2011 due to an error in the calculation of management incentive compensation. In addition, MSS’ U.K. operations recorded a $4 million reclassification to reduce revenue and cost of services by offsetting amounts related to a fiscal 2011 fourth quarter adjustment resulting from a revised estimate at completion calculation. The Company attributes these adjustments to miscellaneous errors and not to any accounting irregularities or intentional misconduct other than the adjustment relating to the operating lease in the Nordic region, which the Company attributes to suspected intentional misconduct by certain former employees of our Nordic subsidiaries. The impact of these out of period adjustments was immaterial to the consolidated results, financial position and cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and prior years.  Consequently the cumulative effect of these adjustments was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. As the fiscal 2012 out of period adjustments were immaterial, they have not been incorporated with the fiscal 2011 discussion below.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2011
 
As further noted below, during fiscal 2011, the Company recorded various pre-tax adjustments reducing income from continuing operations before taxes that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, based on information then known by the Company, the Company recorded certain pre-tax adjustments reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $6 million ($1 million, net of taxes), that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years.  As discussed below, these recorded adjustments comprised $21 million of charges reducing income from continuing operations before taxes originating out of the Company's MSS operations in the Nordic region, and $15 million of adjustments increasing income from continuing operations before taxes, principally out of other MSS businesses with $13 of the $15 million within MSS.  These adjustments reduced MSS operating income (a non-GAAP measure) by $8 million as discussed in Note 12, Segment Information.  The Company also recorded out of period income tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of $5 million, consisting of $4 million of income tax benefits related to the net out of period adjustments and $1 million of unrelated income tax benefit adjustments. These out of period recorded adjustments are primarily attributable to fiscal 2010.
 
Further out of period adjustments were identified in subsequent quarters of fiscal 2011. The aggregate fiscal 2011 adjustments (including those noted above with respect to the first quarter of fiscal 2011) reduced income from continuing operations before taxes by $51 million ($34 million, net of taxes). The total out of period adjustments reported in fiscal 2011 were comprised of $91 million of charges reducing income from continuing operations before taxes originating out of the Company’s MSS operations in the Nordic region, and $40 million of adjustments increasing income from continuing operations before taxes, principally out of other MSS businesses with $36 million of the $40 million within MSS. The Company also recorded out of period income tax benefits during fiscal 2011 of $17 million, consisting of $12 million of income tax benefits related to the net out of period adjustments and $5 million of unrelated tax benefit adjustments.
 
Nordic Region Adjustments: As part of closing the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, management identified and recorded out of period charges totaling $21 million in its Nordic operations.  The $21 million of pretax out of period adjustments recorded in fiscal 2011 were attributable to:
 
 
(Amounts in millions)
 
Pre-tax Nordic
Region Adjustment
 
Operating costs inappropriately capitalized
  $ 16  
Misapplication of US GAAP
    3  
Miscellaneous errors
    2  
Total
  $ 21  
 
 
In response to these errors, the Company initially made changes in operational and financial management and utilized experienced finance personnel from other business units and internal audit to assist with the closing of the Nordic financial statements for the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011. In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company initiated an investigation into these and other accounting errors in the MSS segment. Initially, the investigation was conducted by Company personnel, but outside counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company’s investigations. Based upon the Company's investigation, which extended into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, review of the underlying documentation for certain transactions and balances, review of contract documentation and discussions with Nordic personnel, the Company attributes the majority of the $21 million of adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and additional adjustments during the remainder of fiscal 2011 to accounting irregularities arising from suspected intentional misconduct by certain former employees in our Danish subsidiaries.  See “Investigations” below.
 
The $16 million of out of period adjustments during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for inappropriately capitalized costs are related to the following consolidated balance sheet line items:
  • Outsourcing contract costs ($9 million)
  • Prepaid expenses and other current assets ($3 million)
  • Property and equipment ($3 million)
  • Receivables ($1 million)

Other Adjustments: During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company also identified out of period adjustments of $15 million that increased income from continuing operations before taxes, of which $13 million relates to other MSS operations.  The adjustments attributable to the MSS segment are related to the following consolidated balance sheet line items:
  • Accounts receivable and other current assets ($5 million)
  • Deferred revenue ($5 million)
  • Other accrued expenses ($2 million)
  • Accounts payable ($1 million)
 
The remaining $2 million of out of period adjustments during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 consists of a reduction of other accrued expenses related to non-MSS segments from an adjustment to corporate general and administrative expense.  The Company also identified $1 million of net out of period adjustments related to income tax benefits associated with complex tax positions.
 
The following table summarizes the effect on net income attributable to CSC common shareholders of the consolidated out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (in millions):

Investigations: As previously disclosed in CSC’s Form 10-K for year ended April 1, 2011, in fiscal 2011, the Company initiated an investigation into certain accounting errors in our MSS segment, primarily involving accounting irregularities in the Nordic region. Initially, the investigation was conducted by Company personnel, but outside Company counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company’s investigation. On January 28, 2011, the Company was notified by the Division of Enforcement of the SEC that it had commenced a formal civil investigation relating to these matters and other matters subsequently identified by the SEC, with which the Company is cooperating. On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors commenced an independent investigation into the matters relating to the MSS segment and the Nordic region, matters identified by subpoenas issued by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, and certain other accounting matters identified by the Audit Committee and retained independent counsel to represent CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit committee in connection with such independent investigation. Independent counsel has retained forensic accountants to assist their work. Independent counsel also represents CSC on behalf of and under the exclusive direction of the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
 
In addition, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting additional information regarding its previously disclosed adjustments in connection with the above-referenced accounting errors, the Company’s conclusions relating to materiality of such adjustments, and the Company’s analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its controls over financial reporting. The Division of Corporation Finance’s comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.
 
The investigations being conducted by the Division of Enforcement and the Audit Committee as well as the review of our financial disclosures by the Division of Corporation Finance are continuing and could identify other accounting errors. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement’s and Audit Committee’s investigations will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us. In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of Corporation Finance’s review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review. Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC’s investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Derivative assets and liabilities include foreign currency forward contracts and currency options. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts represents the estimated amount required to settle the contracts using current market exchange rates, and is based on the period-end foreign currency exchange rates. The fair value of currency options is estimated based on external valuation models that use the original strike price, movement and volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, and length of time to expiration as inputs.
 
The money market funds and time deposits are included and reported in cash and cash equivalents; short-term investments and derivative assets are in prepaid expenses and other current assets; the derivative liabilities are in accrued expenses; and commercial paper is included in short-term borrowings. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are included in earnings and reported in other (income) expense.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with short-term maturities are deemed to approximate their market values except for $379 million in receivables and $227 million of deferred costs included in prepaid expenses related to claims for which the values are subject to litigation.  It is not practicable to estimate fair value for contractual work in process and current assets related to the claims since they are subject to ongoing negotiations and litigation and their settlement is not estimable (see Note 14).
 
The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt was $2,418 million and $2,409 million and the estimated fair value was $2,603 million and $2,587 million as of July 1, 2011, and April 1, 2011, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the current interest rates offered to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

The primary financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable. The Company’s customer base includes Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. federal and other governments and other significant, well-known companies operating in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is minimized because of the nature and diversification of the Company’s customer base. Furthermore, the Company continuously reviews its accounts receivables and records provisions for doubtful accounts as needed.
 
The Company's credit risk is also affected by customers in bankruptcy proceedings; however, because most of these proceedings involve business reorganizations rather than liquidations and the nature of the Company's services are often considered essential to the operational continuity of these customers, the Company is generally able to avoid or mitigate significant adverse financial impact in these cases.  As of July 1, 2011, the Company had $15 million of accounts receivable and $8 million of related allowance for doubtful accounts with customers involved in bankruptcy proceedings.
 
Note 6—Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments
 
As a large global organization, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain contracts denominated in foreign currency. Potential foreign currency exposures arising from these contracts are analyzed during the contract bidding process.  The Company generally manages these transactions by incurring costs to service contracts in the same currency in which revenue is received. Short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing in the same currency. By generally matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same currency, the Company has been able to substantially mitigate foreign currency risk to earnings. However, as business practices evolve, the Company is increasing its use of offshore support and is therefore becoming more exposed to currency fluctuations.
 
The Company established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency by using short-term foreign currency forwards and option contracts to hedge certain foreign currency assets and liabilities, including intercompany loans, and certain revenue streams denominated in non-functional currencies. In addition, the Company uses these instruments as economic hedges and not for speculative or trading purposes.  For accounting purposes, these foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedges, as defined under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all changes in fair value are reported as part of other (income) expense.
 
The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2011, and April 1, 2011, was $776 million and $787 million, respectively. The notional amount of option contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2011, and April 1, 2011, was $492 million and $676 million, respectively.
 
The estimated fair values of the foreign currency derivative assets and liabilities were $6 million and $2 million, respectively, as of July 1, 2011. The estimated fair values of the foreign currency derivative assets and liabilities were $9 million and $4 million, respectively, as of April 1, 2011 (see Note 5).
 
As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is subject to counterparty credit risks. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into forward and option contracts with several financial institutions and regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparty.  As of July 1, 2011, there were two counterparties with concentration of credit risk and the maximum amount of loss, based on gross fair value of the foreign currency derivative instrument, that the Company would incur is $5 million.
 
Note 7–Commercial Paper
 
During the quarter ended July 1, 2011, the Company issued commercial paper with average maturities of one to three months, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.35%.  The commercial paper is backed by the Company’s existing $1.5 billion multi-year committed revolving credit facility. There was $200 million of commercial paper outstanding at July 1, 2011, and none outstanding at April 1, 2011. The amount outstanding is included in short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $8 million to the postretirement benefit plans during fiscal 2012.  During the quarter ended July 1, 2011, the Company contributed $3 million to the postretirement benefit plans.
 
The Company received a $1 million subsidy in the quarter ended July 1, 2011 in connection with the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.
 
Note 9—Income Taxes
 
The effective tax rate was (84.2%) and 31.3% for the first quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively.  The decrease in the rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily attributable to the change in tax status of one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This change in tax status resulted in a deemed liquidation for U.S. tax purposes and triggered various deductions which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $121 million and reduced the effective tax rate by 119.8%.
 
There were no material changes to uncertain tax positions in the first quarter of 2012 compared to fiscal year end 2011.
 
It is reasonably possible that during the next twelve months the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions may change by a significant amount.  The IRS is examining the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2005 through 2007. The nature of the significant items subject to examination included depreciation, amortization, R&D credits, and U.S. related international tax issues.
 
The Company may also settle other tax examinations, have lapses in statutes of limitations, or voluntarily settle income tax positions in negotiated settlements for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. The Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts for tax positions that previously met a more likely than not standard if such positions are not upheld. Conversely, the Company could settle positions with the tax authorities for amounts lower than have been accrued or extinguish a position through payment. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months may result in a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions in the range of approximately $115 million to $242 million, excluding interest, penalties and tax carryforwards.

Note 10—Stock Incentive Plans
 
As of July 1, 2011, the Company had outstanding stock option and equity awards issued pursuant to various shareholder-approved plans.  For the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows:
 
   
Quarter Ended
 
(Amounts in millions)
 
July 1, 2011
   
July 2, 2010
 
Cost of services
  $ 2     $ 3  
Selling, general and administrative
    3       11  
Total
  $ 5     $ 14  
Total net of tax
  $ 3     $ 8  
 
The Company’s overall stock-based compensation granting practice has not changed year over year, except that with fiscal 2012’s long-term incentive program, restricted stock units (RSUs) represent a larger portion of total stock-based compensation awards than in the past though at the same relative value.  Adjustments for actual and expected achievement of the specified performance criteria for certain performance-based RSUs decreased stock-based compensation expense recognized for the quarter ended July 1, 2011, by $5 million, which is predominantly represented by participants in selling, general and administrative positions. The changes in the underlying assumptions did not have a material impact on the fair value calculations. However, there was a significant decrease in the grant date fair market value for the Company’s annual award of stock-based compensation, granted in the current period, which further reduced the stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended July 1, 2011, in comparison to the same period of the prior year. An adjustment to reflect actual forfeiture experience for the prior fiscal year decreased stock-based compensation expense recognized for the quarter ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, by $5 million and $6 million, respectively.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model in determining the fair value of options granted. The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted during the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, were $10.28 and $13.04 per share, respectively.  In calculating the compensation expense for its stock incentive plans, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:
 
   
Quarter Ended
   
July 1, 2011
 
July 2, 2010
Risk-free interest rate

31%
 
27%
Expected term
 
6.13 years
 
5.87 years

1.75%
 
1.15%
 
During the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, the Company realized income tax benefits related to all of its stock incentive plans of $5 million and $3 million, respectively.  An excess tax benefit of $2 million and $1 million was realized during the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively.
 
Employee Incentive Plans
 
The Company has two stock incentive plans which authorize the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives to employees upon terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Company issues authorized but previously unissued shares upon the exercise of stock options, the granting of restricted stock and the redemption of RSUs.  At July 1, 2011, 3,298,024 shares of CSC common stock were available for the grant of future stock options, equity awards or other stock-based incentives to employees.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, was $5 million and $4 million, respectively.  The total intrinsic value of stock options is based on the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock less the applicable exercise price.  The cash received from stock options exercised during the quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, was $13 million and $16 million, respectively.
 
As of July 1, 2011, there was $54 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of expected forfeitures.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.98 years.
 
Other Equity Awards
 
Other Equity Awards, including restricted stock and RSUs, generally vest over periods of three to five years.  Restricted stock awards consist of shares of common stock of the Company issued at a price of $0.  Upon issuance to an employee, shares of restricted stock become outstanding, receive dividends and have voting rights. The shares are subject to forfeiture and to restrictions which limit the sale or transfer during the restriction period.  Upon the vesting date, RSUs are automatically redeemed for shares of CSC common stock and dividend equivalents.  If prior to the redemption in full of the RSU, the employee is terminated, then the RSU is automatically cancelled on the employment termination date and any unvested shares are forfeited.
 
A portion of the Other Equity Awards granted during the quarter ended July 1, 2011, consisted of performance-based RSUs.  The number of units that ultimately vest pursuant to such awards is dependent upon the Company’s achievement of certain specified performance criteria over a two or three-year period.  Awards are redeemed for shares of CSC common stock and dividend equivalents upon the filing with the SEC of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year of the performance period.  Compensation expense during the performance period is estimated at each reporting date using management’s expectation of the probable achievement of the specified performance criteria and is adjusted to the extent the expected achievement changes.  In the table below, such awards, while still outstanding, are reflected at the number of shares to be redeemed upon achievement of target performance measures.  During the quarter ended July 1, 2011, performance-based RSUs representing 141,353 shares were cancelled due to the Company’s performance over the relevant two-year performance period.  Compensation expense was adjusted accordingly, as discussed above.
 
During the quarter ended July 1, 2011, certain senior executives were awarded service-based RSUs for which the shares are redeemable over the ten anniversaries following the executive’s termination, provided the executive remains a full-time employee of the Company until reaching the earlier of age 65 or age 55 or over with at least ten years of service and after termination complies with certain non-competition covenants during the ten-year period.

As of July 1, 2011, there was $45 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.33 years.
 
Nonemployee Director Incentives
 
The Company has two stock incentive plans which authorize the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives to nonemployee directors upon terms approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  As of July 1, 2011, 153,000 shares of CSC common stock remained available for the grant to nonemployee directors of future RSUs or other stock-based incentives.
 
Generally, RSU awards to nonemployee directors vest in full as of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the date they are granted and are issued at a price of $0.  As of July 1, 2011, 158,741 shares of CSC common stock were outstanding for RSUs granted to nonemployee directors with a weighted average fair value of $45.34 per share.  There were no shares granted, redeemed or forfeited/canceled during the quarter ended July 1, 2011.
 
When a holder of RSUs ceases to be a director of the Company, the RSUs are automatically redeemed for shares of CSC common stock and dividend equivalents with respect to such shares.  The number of shares to be delivered upon redemption is equal to the number of RSUs that are vested at the time the holder ceases to be a director.  At the holder’s election, the RSUs may be redeemed (i) in their entirety, upon the day the holder ceases to be a director, or (ii) in substantially equal amounts upon the first five, ten or fifteen anniversaries of such termination of service.

Balance as of July 1, 2011, net
  $ 754     $ 1,977     $ 1,331     $ 4,062  
 
The addition to goodwill of $4 million comprises $3 million which relates to acquisition of an immaterial business during the quarter ended July 1, 2011, within the BSS segment, and $1 million of contingent consideration paid on achievement of agreed revenue targets relating to a fiscal 2009 NPS acquisition. The foreign currency translation amount relates to the impact of currency movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated goodwill balances.
 
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates.  Such indicators may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit, etc.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company experienced a significant decline in its market capitalization which declined below its net book value as of July 1, 2011. The Company believes the decline is primarily due to the uncertainty related to the NHS contract negotiations, the ongoing investigation of the Nordic business, and the impact of U.S. federal government spending uncertainty. The Company has evaluated whether the decrease in its market capitalization is the result of factors which would indicate there is a potential impairment of goodwill as of July 1, 2011. The Company has considered, among other factors, the Company’s fiscal 2012 budget, the outlook for the Company’s businesses and industry in general, the status of the NHS negotiations, and the results of management’s investigation of the Nordic business to determine if an interim goodwill impairment test was required.
Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for its reporting units below their carrying value, during the quarter ended July 1, 2011, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of July 1, 2011. However, if the Company’s market capitalization is subject to a sustained decrease or if the Company’s outlook for the Company’s businesses and industry in general is subject to a significant adverse change, the Company may be required to record an impairment to goodwill in the future.

Of the Company’s $4.1 billion goodwill balance at July 1, 2011, $446 million is assigned to the BSS-GBS reporting unit and $211 million is assigned to the BSS-Health reporting unit. The estimated fair values of the BSS-GBS and BSS-Health reporting units have declined since the annual goodwill impairment test performed in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The BSS-GBS decline is primarily a result of developments on the U.K.’s NHS contract in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The BSS-Health decline is primarily a result of losses in fiscal 2011 and a reduction in anticipated future profits. While the Company considers it more likely than not that the fair values exceed carrying values for these reporting units as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012, adverse changes in future projections or assumptions (for example, discount rates, growth rates, profit margins) could result in fair values falling below carrying values and therefore potential goodwill impairments.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments
 
In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with financial performance guarantees, which are generally backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds.  In general, the Company would only be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event that nonperformance by the Company permits termination of the related contract by the Company’s client.  As of July 1, 2011, the Company had $532 million of outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds relating to these performance guarantees. The Company believes it is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees will not have a material adverse affect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
The Company uses standby letters of credit in lieu of cash to support various risk management insurance policies. These letters of credit represent a contingent liability and the Company would only be liable if it defaults on its payment obligations towards these policies. As of July 1, 2011, the Company had $72 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company also guarantees working capital lines of credit for certain of its non-U.S. business units with local financial institutions. Generally, guarantees have a one-year term and are renewed annually.

The Company generally indemnifies licensees of its proprietary software products against claims brought by third parties alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights (including rights in patents (with or without geographic limitations), copyright, trademarks and trade secrets). CSC’s indemnification of its licensees relates to costs arising from court awards, negotiated settlements and the related legal and internal costs of those licensees. The Company maintains the right, at its own costs, to modify or replace software in order to eliminate any infringement. Historically, CSC has not incurred any significant costs related to licensee software indemnification.
 
Contingencies
 
The Company and the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) are parties to a £2.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion at originally announced exchange rate) contract under which the Company is developing and deploying an integrated electronic patient records system. The NHS contract was amended in April 2009 and the parties have entered into variation agreements subsequent to the 2009 amendment agreeing to various operational terms and conditions. The 2009 amendment included mutual releases of all claims existing at the time of the amendment. Since 2010, as part of the U.K. government’s austerity program and to address delays in development and deployments, the Company and NHS have discussed modification of the contract scope in order to reduce the total contract value by £500 million or $800 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, additional scope modification and total contract value reduction were discussed, bringing the combined total contract value reduction to £764 million or $1,222 million which would reduce the total contract value to approximately £2.1 billion or $3.4 billion. Terms related to this scope modification and contract value reduction are included in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) described below.
 
Since signing the 2009 contract amendment various disputes have arisen between the parties, primarily related to delays in development and deployment of the Lorenzo software product, the principal software product under the contract owned and licensed by the Company’s subcontractor, iSoft Group Limited, the acquisition of which was completed by the Company on July 29, 2011. NHS has notified the Company of various alleged events of default under the contract related to these delays and other alleged operational issues. In response, the Company has cured or is in the process of curing the alleged events of default, asserted that failures and breaches of contract on the part of NHS have caused these delays and issues, paid certain immaterial amounts as delay deductions into escrow under the contract for final resolution as part of the expected contract amendment, or otherwise disputed these allegations. Except as described below with regard to NHS’ allegations related to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (Pennine), when NHS has notified the Company of alleged events of default it has generally reserved its rights without demanding, pursuing or otherwise asserting further remedies.
 
On February 4, 2011, NHS formally notified the Company that it believes the Company’s failure to achieve a key milestone related to the Pennine Lorenzo deployment by January 28, 2011, constitutes a breach of contract and NHS is considering its position on termination of all or parts of the contract; however, NHS subsequently clarified that its notice was not intended to suggest that termination is the only option which it is considering and, in fact, NHS is considering the full range of options it believes are available to NHS. The Company has disputed the alleged breach. NHS is not at this time actively pursuing this claim under the dispute resolution procedures of the contract. Pennine subsequently elected not to continue with the Lorenzo deployment; however, NHS and the Company are jointly working to replace Pennine with another mental health care trust which would implement the Lorenzo system. Notwithstanding this dispute, both NHS and the Company continued discussions with the intention of finalizing the terms of the MOU.

As described above, NHS and the Company have been in discussions since 2010 regarding an MOU which would set forth an agreement in principle to the key terms of a reduction in scope and related total contract value. Beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2011, the MOU discussions have also included negotiation of terms and conditions which would form the basis for the parties’ future obligations under the contract and final resolution of all claims and disputes between the parties. The MOU generally represents a non-binding agreement in principle; however, it includes a legally binding standstill agreement which provides that while the parties are negotiating a contract amendment to implement the terms of the MOU, neither party will pursue any claims against the other party. Negotiation of the terms of the MOU was confirmed by the NHS to be substantially completed in May 2011. Subsequent government reviews of the MOU are occurring and final government approval is still pending. The Company has not been advised of a date by which final government action on the MOU is expected. A review of the overall NHS IT program for delivery of an integrated electronic patient records system, including but not limited to the Company’s contract with NHS, is being conducted by the U.K. Major Projects Authority, the joint U.K. Cabinet Office-Treasury body which oversees large public sector projects. The Company’s understanding is that this review must be concluded before NHS will be authorized to enter into a contract amendment implementing the terms of the MOU. The U.K. House of Commons Public Accounts Committee also undertook a review of the overall NHS IT program and issued its report on August 3, 2011. The Committee’s report is critical of the performance of the IT suppliers involved in the program, including that of the Company, and of NHS’ management of the program, as well as the benefits achieved under the program to date. Further, the Committee recommends that the Department of Health should review whether to continue the program and whether the remaining program funding should be spent elsewhere. The Committee also recommends that the Major Projects Authority exercise close scrutiny over the NHS’ continuing negotiations with the Company and that the government give serious consideration to whether the Company has proved itself fit to tender for other government work. Although NHS advised the Public Accounts Committee in the Committee’s May 23, 2011, public hearing that it intended to go forward with the IT program and to complete negotiations with the Company, and the Company has not been advised otherwise by NHS to date, there can be no assurance that the MOU will be approved nor, if it is approved, what final terms would be negotiated and included in the MOU.
 
As of July 1, 2011, the Company had a net investment in the contract of approximately £701 million ($1.1 billion), which includes primarily $264 million of receivables, $1,188 million of contractual work in progress recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $316 million of advance contract payments recorded in deferred revenue, and $51 million of dedicated computer equipment. As a result of the contract amendment anticipated by the MOU, the Company estimates that total contract value will be reduced by £764 million ($1,222 million). The MOU also anticipates that the contract term will be extended one year to June 2017 and the Company estimates revenue of £1.5 to £2.0 billion ($2.4 to $3.2 billion) over that remaining term. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded a contract inception-to-date adjustment reducing inception to date profit on the contract by $57 million and reduced the estimated margin rate for the remainder of the contract period, primarily due to increases in cost estimates for deployments, schedule delays and a reduced number of contractually required deployments under the contract amendment anticipated by the MOU. These adjustments reflect the Company’s estimated cost to complete the contract under the terms of the contract amendment as reflected in the MOU. With these amendments, the contract remains profitable and the Company would recover its investment. Future events, including a decision by the U.K. government not to approve the terms of the MOU, however, could result in a charge to reduce the contract profitability recognized to date and impair the Company’s net investment in the contract, a reduction in future profitability or a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows. On April 1, 2011, pursuant to the contract, NHS made an advance payment to the Company of £200 million ($320 million) related to the forecasted charges expected by the Company during fiscal year 2012. The advance payment is secured by performance bonds obtained by the Company. The advance payment arrangement provides, as one of its conditions, that the Company could be required to repay the advance payment upon NHS’ demand on September 30, 2011, if the parties are not progressing satisfactorily toward completion of the contract amendment. There can be no assurance that the parties will have made satisfactory progress toward completion of a contract amendment within that time frame such that the advance payment will be extended beyond September 30, 2011, and the advance payment may have to be repaid.
 
NHS has the right to terminate the contract for convenience, in which case NHS would owe significant termination fees to the Company and the Company would have claims against NHS for compensation due to delays and excess costs caused by NHS or for contractual deployment delay remedies. The Company believes that NHS, when considering its alternatives of maintaining or terminating the contract, will consider costs and risks that NHS may incur over and above those related to termination fees or damages payable to the Company and the associated legal processes, including the cost of initiating and managing a public tender procedure or procedures to obtain one or more suitable replacement suppliers, the operational risk of switching suppliers at this stage in the contract with the Company, the cost of alternative suppliers, and the cost of obtaining exit management services from the Company to ensure an orderly transition to one or more replacement suppliers. If NHS elected to terminate the contract for convenience, the total amount recoverable by the Company from termination fees payable by NHS and from claims by the Company is uncertain and it is possible the Company’s total recovery would be materially less than the net asset value associated with the contract. Future deployment delays caused by the Company could increase this shortfall materially until a contract amendment is signed.

There can be no assurance that the Company and NHS will successfully conclude negotiations and enter into a contract amendment or, if a contract amendment is negotiated and entered into, that the contract amendment as finally negotiated will reflect the terms of the MOU. The time required to complete a contract amendment is uncertain and while the Company expects completion, signing and approval of a contract amendment in fiscal year 2012, further unexpected delays could occur. The final terms of any contract amendment, a significant delay in completing a contract amendment, failure to conclude a contract amendment, or a termination of the contract by NHS for convenience could result in an impairment of the Company’s net investment in the contract and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow. In addition, these events could result in a goodwill impairment charge.
 
If the parties do not successfully conclude a contract amendment, either or both parties could elect to assert claims against the other for breach of contract or similar claims. Subject to a legal obligation to mitigate its damages and subject to contractual limits of the Company’s liability, NHS could elect in this event to seek delay damages under the contract or terminate the contract and seek damages from the Company, including alleged damages for the cost of a replacement system and for unrealized savings and benefits under the contract. The Company could assert claims against NHS for breach of contract and seek damages from NHS, including compensation due to delays and excess costs caused by NHS or for contractual deployment delay remedies. If NHS wrongfully seeks to terminate the contract and refuses to withdraw its termination notice following the Company's demand, the Company could assert a claim for wrongful termination and seek damages for repudiatory breach of contract. Although the parties have not asserted claims formally in any arbitration or other legal proceeding, there can be no assurance that in any such proceeding NHS will not assert claims against the Company for damages in a material amount. The Company believes that the NHS contract is enforceable and that NHS has no existing right to terminate the contract. However, contractual disputes and litigation of this nature are complex and inherently uncertain and the Company’s position is subject to the ongoing review and evaluation of new facts and information which may come to the Company’s attention. If a contractual dispute or litigation ensues, the outcome is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail or that the NHS would not obtain a judgment and a material award of damages against the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
As of July 1, 2011, the Company had 14 claims totaling approximately $675 million, excluding interest, asserted against the U.S. federal government under a single contract pending before the Armed Services Board of Contracts Appeals (“ASBCA”).  These claims were filed under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (the “CDA”).
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company filed its 14 interest bearing claims (collectively the “CDA Claims”), then totaling approximately $858 million, with the government.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the government denied the Company’s 14 CDA Claims and issued a $42 million counterclaim. The Company disagrees with the government’s denials both factually and contractually.  In contrast to the Company’s CDA Claims, all of which were properly certified under the CDA, the government’s counter-claim was submitted with no verifiable evidence, no citation to any supporting evidence and no explanation of its method for calculating value.  Because of these disputes, on September 11, 2007, the Company initiated litigation at the ASBCA, one of the two forums available for litigation of CDA claims.  Decisions of the ASBCA may be appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and that court’s ruling may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
 
In accordance with accepted practice, the Company amended its CDA Claims twice to reflect adjustments to the total value of the CDA Claims.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company and its litigation team undertook a standard review of the value of the CDA Claims.  On December 21, 2007, as a result of that review, the Company amended the complaint it filed with the ASBCA on September 11, 2007, and adjusted its value downward.  On December 24, 2009, the Government made a partial payment of $35 million on one of the CDA Claims.  Thereafter, CSC filed a second amended complaint with the ASBCA reducing the value of its CDA Claims by $35 million.
 
Included in receivables and prepaid expenses and other current assets are approximately $379 million of unbilled receivables, reflecting the third quarter fiscal 2010 payment of $35 million referenced above, and $227 million of deferred costs related to the CDA Claims, respectively.  The Company has not recorded any profit element when it defers costs associated with CDA claims.
 
The Company believes it has valid bases for pursuing recovery of the CDA Claims supported by outside counsel’s evaluation of the facts and assistance in the preparation of the claims.  To verify its position, CSC requested that outside counsel analyze whether the first two conditions of Paragraph 31 of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-35-25 were satisfied with respect to the Company’s assertions of Government breaches of the contract, Government-caused delays and disruption to the Company’s performance of the contract, and unanticipated additional work performed by the Company under the contract.  The outside counsel issued an opinion that the Company’s position met the criteria on April 22, 2005, and has reiterated that opinion as recently as May 20, 2011.  The Company remains committed to vigorous pursuit of its claimed entitlements and associated value, and continues to believe based on review of applicable law and other considerations that recovery of at least its net balance sheet position is probable.  However, the Company’s position is subject to the ongoing evaluation of new facts and information which may come to the Company’s attention during the litigation.

On November 19, 2010, the Government and the Company entered into a formal agreement to stay the CDA Claims litigation and engage in a non-binding alternate dispute resolution (“ADR”) process to resolve all outstanding CDA Claims and other issues associated with the contract. This expedited process began on December 6, 2010, and is expected to conclude in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. If the parties do not reach settlement, the litigation will resume. During the course of the ADR process in June 2011, the Company’s forensic accounting expert consultants conducted an independent review of the CDA Claims. As a result of their review, the Company reduced the value of the CDA Claims by approximately $3 million to $675 million in June 2011. This reduction related to the removal of overlapping costs among the CDA Claims, the removal of costs that may not have been considered allowable in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and other minor adjustments. As part of the ADR process and in accordance with the terms of the ADR agreement, on November 22, 2010, the Company filed with the Government two requests for equitable adjustment (“REA”) totaling approximately $1.1 billion associated with the same contract under which the CDA Claims were brought. REAs, unlike CDA Claims, are not interest bearing. The matters covered by the REAs overlap with each other and, to some extent, with certain matters covered by the CDA claims, but the REAs seek recovery under other legal theories. The aggregate amount of REAs and CDA Claims filed by the Company is not indicative of the amounts that would ultimately be recoverable by the Company. However, were the Company to be successful with its REAs, the amount recovered could be greater than the total value of the CDA Claims. There are no additional assets on the Company’s books that relate to the REAs described above.
 
In the course of the ADR process and discussions with the Government, the Company may consider various settlement options. A settlement could occur in the Company's fiscal 2012 second quarter. There can be no assurance that a settlement will be agreed to, or if it is agreed to, that the settlement value received by the Company would equal or exceed the Company's balance sheet value associated with this contract.
 
Several additional claims that had been pending before the ASBCA under a separate contract were settled in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. As a result of that settlement and other contractual arrangements, the Company expects the deferred costs related to those claims will be fully recovered.
 
On May 29, 2009, a class action lawsuit entitled Shirley Morefield vs. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al., Case # A-09-591338-C, was brought in state court in Clark County, Nevada, against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors asserting claims for declarative and injunctive relief related to stock option backdating.  The alleged factual basis for the claims is the same as that which was alleged in a prior derivative case, In re CSC Shareholder Derivative Litigation, CV 06-5288, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, which was dismissed on August 9, 2007, by such court.  This dismissal was affirmed on appeal by the Ninth Circuit, which judgment is final. The defendants in the Morefield case deny the allegations in the complaint.  On June 30, 2009, the Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. 2:09-cv-1176-KJD-GWF.  On motion made by the plaintiffs, the District Court remanded the case to state court on February 18, 2010.  Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on April 30, 2010, and plaintiffs filed their opposition on June 14, 2010.  A hearing took place on August 18, 2010.  A decision is pending.  It is not possible to make reasonable estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from this matter at this time.
 
As previously disclosed, in CSC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011, the Company initiated an investigation into certain accounting errors in our MSS segment, primarily involving accounting irregularities in the Nordic region. Initially, the investigation was conducted by Company personnel, but outside Company counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company's investigation. On January 28, 2011, the Company was notified by the Division of Enforcement of the SEC that it had commenced a formal civil investigation relating to these matters and other matters subsequently identified by the SEC, with which the Company is cooperating.  On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors commenced an independent investigation into matters relating to MSS and the Nordic region, matters identified by subpoenas issued by the SEC's Division of Enforcement and certain other accounting matters identified by the Audit Committee and retained independent counsel to represent CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with such independent investigation. Independent counsel has retained forensic accountants to assist their work. Independent counsel also represents CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation by the SEC's Division of Enforcement.
 
In addition, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting additional information regarding its previously disclosed adjustments in connection with the above-referenced accounting errors, the Company's conclusions regarding the materiality of such adjustments and the Company's analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. The Division of Corporation Finance's comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.

The investigations being conducted by the Division of Enforcement and the Audit Committee as well as the review of our financial disclosures by the Division of Corporation Finance are continuing and could identify other accounting errors. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement's and Audit Committee's investigations will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us. In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of Corporation Finance's review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review. Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC's investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
On June 3, 2011, a putative federal class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the City of Roseville Employees' Retirement System, entitled City of Roseville Employees' Retirement System v Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (Civil Docket for Case #: 1:11-cv-00610-TSE-IDD). A similar putative federal class action complaint, entitled Murphy v Computer Sciences, et al. (Civil Docket for Case #: 1:11-cv-00636-TSE-IDD) was filed on June 13, 2011, in the same court. Two additional similar putative federal class action complaints, entitled Hilary Kramer v Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (Civil Docket for Case #: 1:11-cv-00636-TSE-IDD) and Norton Goldman v Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (Civil Docket for Case #:1:11-cv-777TSE-IDD) were filed in the same court on July 15, 2011, and July 21, 2011, respectively.  The complaints name as defendants Computer Sciences Corporation, Michael W. Laphen and Michael J. Mancuso, and the Kramer and Norton complaints also name Donald G. DeBuck as an additional defendant. Each complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged misrepresentations and omissions regarding the business and operations of the Company. The defendants deny the allegations made in the complaints and intend to defend their position vigorously. It is not possible to make reliable estimates of the amounts or range of losses that could result from these matters at this time.
 
In addition to the matters noted above, the Company is currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation.  The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters in the ordinary course of business.  Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies.  For these reasons, it is not possible to make reliable estimates of the amount or range of loss that could result from these other matters at this time.  Company management does not, however, presently expect any of such other matters to have a material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company.
 
Note 15—Subsequent Event
 
On July 29, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of iSoft Group Limited (iSoft), a provider of advanced healthcare solutions, for cash consideration of $469 million, net of $33 million cash acquired, for all of the outstanding equity securities of iSoft and inclusive of $256 million to extinguish the outstanding debt. iSoft is a global healthcare information technology company, providing advanced application solutions to healthcare providers across both the public and private sectors. The principal purpose of their products is to facilitate the automation of patient care processes and work flows across primary and secondary healthcare organizations. iSoft, which has approximately 3,000 employees and research and development centers in India, Spain, U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Central Europe, will complement CSC’s healthcare software products and related integration services portfolio, and expand the Company’s healthcare research and development capabilities. The iSoft business will be a part of the Company’s BSS segment. The initial accounting for the business combination is not yet complete due to the close proximity of the date of acquisition to the date on which the financial statements are filed. Additional disclosures will be included within the Company’s second quarter Form 10-Q filing.

Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in such statements.  These forward looking statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The reader should specifically consider the various risks discussed in the Risk Factors section included elsewhere herein.
 
Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof, and forward-looking statements in documents attached or incorporated by reference speak only as to the date of those documents.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement or to report any events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
 
General
 
The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC or the Company).  The discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011.  The following discusses the Company's results of operations and financial condition as of and for the first quarter ended July 1, 2011, and the comparable period for the prior fiscal year.
 
First Quarter Overview
 
Key operating results for the first quarter include:
 
  
First quarter revenues were up 3.1% to $4.0 billion compared to the prior year and down 1.6% on a constant currency
basis.(1)
 
  
Income from continuing operations before taxes decreased 52.1% to $101 million from $211 million in the first quarter.
 
  
Operating income(2) for the quarter decreased 35% to $180 million from $277 million in the fiscal 2011 first quarter, and operating income margins decreased to 4.46% from 7.08%.
 
  
Net income attributable to CSC common shareholders for the first quarter was $183 million, an increase of 28.0%, or $40 million, as compared to the prior year.
 
  
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.17 for the fiscal 2012 first quarter, an increase from $0.91 in the prior year. EPS was comprised of $1.18 from continuing operations and $(0.01) from discontinued operations, as compared to $0.89 and $0.02, respectively, in the prior year.
 
  
Business awards of $2.3 billion were announced for the first quarter 2012, compared to $3.3 billion in the prior fiscal year period. For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, NPS was awarded $0.9 billion, MSS was awarded $0.5 billion, and BSS was awarded $0.9 billion.  Total backlog(3) at the end of first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $35.5 billion, a decrease of $6.3 billion as compared to the backlog at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Of the total $35.5 billion backlog, $8.1 billion is expected to be realized as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2012.  Of the total backlog, $12.3 billion is not yet funded.
 
 
 
- 24 -

 
 
  
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)(4) of 87 days improved 1 day compared to 88 days at the end of the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
 
  
Debt-to-total capitalization ratio(5) at July 1, 2011, was 26.8% compared to 25.4% at fiscal year-end 2011.
 
  
Return on Investment (ROI)(6) for the four quarters ended July 1, 2011, was 9.0%, down from 9.8% for the comparable prior period.
 
  
Cash used in operating activities was $46 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to cash used of $60 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
  
Cash used in investing activities was $334 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to cash used of $253 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
 
  
Cash provided by financing activities was $194 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to cash provided of $2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
 
  
Free cash flow(7) for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $409 million outflow as compared to $318 million outflow for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, a decline of $91 million.
 
                                                                                                                                                         
 
(1)  
Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates.  This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
 
(2)  
Operating income is a non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure used by management to assess performance at the segments and on a consolidated basis.  The Company's definition of such measure may differ from other companies. We define operating income as revenue less costs of services, depreciation and amortization expenses, and segment G&A expense, excluding corporate G&A. Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing income before taxes, which includes costs excluded from the operating income definition such as corporate G&A, interest and other income. A reconciliation of consolidated operating income to income before taxes is as follows:

For North American Public Sector (NPS), announced award values for competitive indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) awards represent the expected contract value at the time a task order is awarded under the contract.  Announced values for non-competitive IDIQ awards represent management’s estimate at the award date. Business awards for Managed Services Sector (MSS) are estimated at the time of contract signing based on then existing projections of service volumes and currency exchange rates, and include option years. Business Solutions and Services (BSS) award values are based on firm commitments. Beginning in fiscal 2012, we revised our estimation of BSS awards to account for larger business solution and service awards. Prior period awards and backlog have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Backlog represents total estimated contract value of predominantly long-term contracts, based on customer commitments that the Company believes to be firm. Backlog value is based on contract commitments, management’s judgment and assumptions about volume of services, availability of customer funding and other factors. Backlog estimates for government contracts include both the funded and unfunded portions, and all of the option periods. Value of IDIQ awards is included in computation of backlog only when a task order is awarded. Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by factors including modifications of contracts and foreign currency movements.
 
(4)  
DSO for the quarter is calculated as total receivables at quarter-end divided by revenue-per-day.  Revenue-per-day equals total revenues for the last quarter divided by the number of days in the fiscal quarter. Total receivables includes unbilled receivables but excludes tax receivables.
 
(5)  
Debt-to-total capitalization is defined as total current and long-term debt divided by total debt and equity, including noncontrolling interest.
 
 
 
- 25 -

 
 
(6)  
ROI is calculated by multiplying profit margin by the investment base turnover.  The profit margin used is a) the last four quarters’ adjusted net income available to CSC common shareholders (net income available to CSC common shareholders adjusted to exclude interest expense and special items, net of their corresponding tax effects), divided by b) the last four quarters’ revenues.  Investment base turnover equals the last four quarters’ revenues divided by average debt and equity during the last four quarters.  It should be noted that the adjusted net income figure available to CSC common shareholders is not identical to net income available to CSC common shareholders as determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore reconciled to the GAAP measure in the table below.  The Company’s calculation of ROI may not be comparable with other companies’ measures using the same or similar terms.  Management compensates for any limitations of this non-GAAP measure by reviewing a number of metrics, including GAAP measures such as EPS, operating and investing cash flows, and the debt-to-total capitalization ratio.

(7)  
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and the Company's definition of such measure may differ from other companies. We define free cash flow as equal to the sum of (1) operating cash flows, (2) investing cash flows, excluding business acquisitions, dispositions and purchase or sale of available for sale securities, and (3) payments on capital leases and other long-term asset financings. A reconciliation of free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below.
 
CSC’s free cash flow measure does not distinguish operating cash flows from investing cash flows as they are required to be presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for operating and investing cash flows as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Free cash flow is one of the factors CSC management uses in reviewing the overall performance of the business.  Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing the GAAP measures of operating, investing and financing cash flows as well as debt levels measured by the debt-to-total capitalization ratio.

NPS revenue decreased $36 million, or 2.4%, in the fiscal 2012 first quarter as compared to the same period in the prior year, and was down 2.7% excluding the impact from two small acquisitions in fiscal 2011. Net increases on Department of Defense (DOD) and Other contracts were more than offset by declines on Civil Agencies contracts. Approximately $37 million of the Civil year-over-year decline resulted from the conclusion of a contract with the U.S. Census Bureau and $12 million from decreased work on an Environmental Protection Agency systems integration program. The DOD net increase resulted from $34 million of core growth and new task orders on a managed services contract with the Department of Homeland Security and the start of a long-delayed program with the Transportation Security Administration, which contributed another $29 million in first quarter 2012 revenue.  These DOD increases were partially offset by a slow-down in Army and Missile Defense Agency new tasking ($45 million).  Other revenue increased by $8 million primarily due to the award of a contract amendment on a Medicaid Management Information System contract.
 
NPS won $0.9 billion of new awards during the first quarter, as compared to $1.2 billion in the same period of fiscal 2011.  Overall, revenue growth continued to be impacted by a slowdown in the U.S. federal procurement environment, driven primarily by delayed contract awards and a higher rate of award protests.

Managed Services Sector
 
MSS revenue increased $21 million, or 1.3%, in the fiscal first quarter 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year. In constant currency, revenue decreased approximately $91 million, or 5.7%, with currency benefits of approximately $80 million in Europe and $25 million in Australia.
 
Excluding the benefits from currency movements, the overall MSS decline was from a combination of contract conclusions and terminations of $78 million for the quarter, volume or scope reductions of $75 million for the quarter as well as approximately $35 million from missed service level metrics on an outsourcing contract and delays on certain development contracts. The decline was partially offset by new client engagements won in fiscal 2011 and 2012 which generated approximately $39 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as well as $47 million of growth on existing accounts.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, MSS had contract awards of $0.5 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the comparable prior year fiscal period. Awards included new contracts and successful recompetes.
 
Business Solutions and Services
 
BSS revenue increased $140 million, or 17.1%, in the fiscal 2012 first quarter as compared to the same period in the prior year.  After adjusting for currency fluctuations, the increase was $66 million or 8.0%.
 
Revenue growth for the quarter was primarily from increases in the BSS consulting business led by an  incremental $66 million attributable to large systems integration and application maintenance programs in the Americas as well an increase in healthcare and government programs in Australia.  Revenue from BSS’ value-added reseller business in Asia and its staffing operation in Australia grew by $45 million due to increased client demand in the financial services and manufacturing sectors.  The financial services group revenue grew by $16 million primarily due to a new application maintenance contract closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.  Revenue on BSS’ contract with the U.K.’s National Health Service (“NHS”) increased by $11 million due to an increase in project activity and new business outside of the core contract.
 
BSS had contract awards of $0.9 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $0.9 billion in the comparable prior year fiscal period.

Out of Period Adjustments
 
First Quarter of Fiscal 2012
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company’s MSS segment recorded five out of period adjustments primarily to cost of services, reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $5 million which should have been recorded in prior fiscal years. Four of these adjustments totaling $4 million relate to MSS’ Nordic operations and $1 million to other MSS operations. The Nordic adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 included two adjustments totaling $2 million which were attributable to an understatement of accrued expenses associated with vendor invoices related to fiscal 2011.  These adjustments were identified late in the fiscal 2011 closing process, and due to the immaterial amounts involved, were not included in the Company’s consolidated fiscal 2011 statements. The Nordic adjustments also included (i) $1 million of outsourcing contract costs amortized over a contract term (including an extension rather than just the original contract term) attributable to fiscal 2006-2012, and (ii) a $1 million error in the accounting for an operating lease attributable to fiscal 2010.  The $1 million operating lease adjustment is a refinement of an error previously corrected and reported in fiscal 2011.  The $1 million adjustment related to other MSS operations was attributable to an understatement of accrued expenses in fiscal year 2011 due to an error in the calculation of management incentive compensation. In addition, MSS’ U.K. operation recorded a $4 million reclassification to reduce revenue and cost of services by offsetting amounts related to a fiscal 2011 fourth quarter adjustment resulting from a revised estimate at completion calculation. The Company attributes these adjustments to miscellaneous errors and not to any accounting irregularities or intentional misconduct other than the adjustment relating to the operating lease in the Nordic region, which the Company attributes to suspected intentional misconduct by certain former employees of our Nordic subsidiaries. The impact of these out of period adjustments was immaterial to the consolidated results, financial position and cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and prior years.  Consequently the cumulative effect of these adjustments was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. As the fiscal 2012 out of period adjustments were immaterial, they have not been incorporated with the fiscal 2011 discussion below.
 
First Quarter of Fiscal 2011
 
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011, and as further noted below, during fiscal 2011, the Company recorded various pre-tax adjustments reducing income from continuing operations before taxes that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years.
  
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, based on information then known by the Company, the Company recorded certain pre-tax adjustments reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $6 million ($1 million, net of taxes), that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years.  As discussed below, these recorded adjustments comprised $21 million of charges reducing income from continuing operations before taxes originating out of the Company's MSS operations in the Nordic region, and $15 million of adjustments increasing income from continuing operations before taxes, principally out of other MSS businesses with $13 million of the $15 million within MSS.  These adjustments reduced MSS operating income (a non-GAAP measure) by $8 million as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Segment Information.  The Company also recorded out of period income tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of $5 million, consisting of $4 million of income tax benefits related to the net out of period adjustments and $1 million of unrelated income tax benefit adjustments. These out of period recorded adjustments are primarily attributable to fiscal 2010.

Costs of Services
 
Costs of services (COS) as a percentage of revenue increased 2.4 percentage points to 83.5% from 81.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily driven by adverse changes in MSS’ Americas and EMEA operations and certain BSS operations.
 
MSS’ Americas operations is incurring significant unplanned costs for incremental personnel to implement a new solution on an outsourcing contract and also incurred $17 million of penalties in the quarter for not achieving certain performance service levels on the contract, with the penalties accounted for as a reduction of revenues. CSC is working closely with the customer to remedy the situation and resolve issues. MSS operations in EMEA were impacted by adjustments on system development efforts being accounted for under percentage of completion, including a $30 million forward loss recognized on a development project in the U.K., and approximately $8 million of adverse adjustments on development programs for the Denmark government. The $30 million forward loss included a reduction to revenue of $14 million.
 
BSS’ overall COS ratio increased as a result of higher revenues in certain Asia and Australia operations that have higher cost structures, and from lower profitability on the U.K.’s NHS contract, which resulted from a change in estimated profitability in fiscal 2011’s fourth quarter. The change in estimated profitability was based on expected contract modifications which are also expected to reduce total committed contract value of the program by $1,100 million to $1,300 million. Nonetheless, the contract remains profitable. BSS’ value-added reseller business in Asia and its staffing operation in Australia contributed $45 million in additional revenue for fiscal 2012, but COS ratios are above the average BSS ratio, thus increasing the overall ratio.
 
The Company continues to undertake cost control measures to mitigate adverse impacts to the COS ratio.
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of revenue increased 0.3 percentage points for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to 6.5%. This increase was primarily driven by higher legal and other professional services fees at the corporate headquarters associated with ongoing investigations into matters surrounding the out of period adjustments discussed previously. The Company will continue to incur such fees as these investigations are ongoing.  In addition, the Company expects to incur legal and other professional fees in connection with various putative class action lawsuits that have been filed in federal court.
 
MSS’s SG&A ratio also increased from the prior year, primarily as a result of higher sales costs and lower revenues in the Americas region with overhead costs that could not be reduced proportionately. Partly offsetting the higher corporate and MSS SG&A costs were lower ratios in the BSS and NPS operations.  BSS ratio improvements resulted from prior and current year cost control programs and the continuing efforts to hold SG&A costs down as revenues increase.  NPS’s improved SG&A ratio was primarily a result of lower bid and proposal costs.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) as a percentage of revenue increased 0.3 percentage points for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to 6.9%. The higher ratio was primarily due to the MSS segment, driven by increased depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of outsourcing costs resulting from new fiscal 2011 contracts.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense net of interest income, declined $3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to increased interest income, with interest expense remaining flat.
 
Interest income increased $4 million to $12 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily due to higher cash and cash equivalent balances in India, Australia and Asia.
 
Interest expense increased $1 million to $42 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Although the interest expense was relatively flat, it resulted from a combination of higher interest due to increased capital lease activity and borrowings for assets acquired under long term financing during fiscal 2011, and offset by lower interest due to the repayment of a $1.5 billion credit facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Other Income, Net
 
Other income, net increased by $2 million to $5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to $3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Other income includes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, gains and losses due to impact of movement in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related hedges, and other miscellaneous gains and losses from the sale of non-operating assets. The increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was due to gains related to the Company’s foreign currency forwards and options program.
 
Taxes
 
The effective tax rate was (84.2%) and 31.3% for the first quarters ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively.  The decrease in the rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily attributable to the change in the tax status of one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This change in tax status resulted in a deemed liquidation for U.S. tax purposes and triggered various deductions which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $121 million and reduced the effective tax rate by 119.8%.
 
The IRS is examining the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2005 through 2007. The nature of the significant items subject to examination included depreciation, amortization, R&D credits, and U.S. related international tax issues. The Company believes the outcomes, which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months, may result in a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions in the range of approximately $115 million to $242 million, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carryforwards.  Thereafter, interest expense is expected to continue to accrue at approximately $1 million quarterly (net of tax benefit) on existing uncertain tax positions, before the effect of compounding or changes in interest rates, until payments are made or the underlying uncertain tax positions are resolved in the Company’s favor.  The Company is unable to predict when these events may occur.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, for the first quarter ended July 1, 2011, was $1.17, an increase of $0.26 from $0.91 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. This increase was the result of an increase in net income attributable to CSC common shareholders of $40 million, primarily due to recognition of certain discrete tax benefits during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
During fiscal 2011, CSC divested two businesses within its NPS segment whose ultimate customer is the U.S. federal government. Both of the divestitures were driven by Organizational Conflicts of Interest concerns. One divestiture was in the second quarter for cash consideration of $56 million, and the other during the fourth quarter for cash consideration of $65 million.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, NPS recorded a pre-tax loss from discontinued operations of $2 million to reflect the true up of working capital and capital expenditures in accordance with the purchase agreement of the fourth quarter divestiture.

Cash Flows
 
The Company’s cash flows were as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year
    1,837       2,784  
        Cash and cash equivalents at end of quarter
  $ 1,666     $ 2,435  
 
Net cash used in operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $14 million lower than net cash used in operations in the first quarter of the prior year. The improvement was mainly due to lower vendor payments partially offset by lower cash collections from customers in the fiscal 2012 first quarter as compared to fiscal 2011 first quarter.  The first quarter will typically continue to generate lower cash flows than subsequent quarters for several reasons including the fact that annual hardware and software maintenance agreements and annual incentive compensation awards are paid in the first quarter.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $81 million higher than net cash used in the first quarter of the prior year.  The increase was primarily driven by higher purchases of software and capital expenditure on outsourcing contracts.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $194 million, a $192 million increase over the $2 million for the comparable period of fiscal 2011. This increase was primarily due to borrowings under the Company’s commercial paper programs offset by higher principal payments on long-term debt and dividends paid to CSC common stockholders.
 
Appreciation of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, the Australian dollar, and the Indian rupee, positively impacted cash and cash equivalents by $53 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first quarter of the prior year.
 
Free cash flow decreased $91 million to an outflow of $409 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from an outflow of $318 million in the first quarter of the prior year.  The decrease was primarily the result of increased software purchases and higher principal payments against obligations for capital leases and assets acquired under long term financing, as noted above.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The Company has contractual obligations for long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, minimum purchase obligations, bank debt, unrecognized tax positions, and other obligations as summarized in the Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $1,666 million at July 1, 2011, and $1,837 million at April 1, 2011. The decreased balance is primarily a result of operating and investing cash outflows during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 of $46 million and $334 million, respectively.
 
Equity during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased $211 million primarily from net income attributable to CSC shareholders of $183 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $41 million.  Increase in AOCI was primarily due to an increase in foreign currency translation adjustments. The total increase in equity was partially offset by dividends declared of $31 million.

In addition, the Company had $2,418 million of long-term debt.  The Company’s commercial paper program is backed by the $1.5 billion committed line of credit.
 
The Company and the U.K. NHS are parties to a £2.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion at originally announced exchange rate) contract under which the Company is developing and deploying an integrated electronic patient records system. The NHS contract was amended in April 2009 and the parties have entered into variation agreements subsequent to the 2009 amendment agreeing to various operational terms and conditions. The 2009 amendment included mutual releases of all claims existing at the time of the amendment. Since 2010, as part of the U.K. government’s austerity program and to address delays in development and deployments, the Company and NHS have discussed modification of the contract scope in order to reduce the total contract value by £500 million or $800 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, additional scope modification and total contract value reduction were discussed, bringing the combined total contract value reduction to £764 million or $1,222 million which would reduce the total contract value to approximately £2.1 billion or $3.4 billion. Terms related to this scope modification and contract value reduction are included in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) described below.
 
Since signing the 2009 contract amendment various disputes have arisen between the parties, primarily related to delays in development and deployment of the Lorenzo software product, the principal software product under the contract owned and licensed by the Company’s subcontractor, iSoft Group Limited, the acquisition of which was completed by the Company on July 29, 2011. NHS has notified the Company of various alleged events of default under the contract related to these delays and other alleged operational issues. In response, the Company has cured or in the process of curing the alleged events of default, asserted that failures and breaches of contract on the part of NHS have caused these delays and issues, paid certain immaterial amounts as delay deductions into escrow under the contract for final resolution as part of the expected contract amendment, or otherwise disputed these allegations. Except as described below with regard to NHS’ allegations related to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (Pennine), when NHS has notified the Company of alleged events of default it has generally reserved its rights without demanding, pursuing or otherwise asserting further remedies.
 
On February 4, 2011, NHS formally notified the Company that it believes the Company’s failure to achieve a key milestone related to the Pennine Lorenzo deployment by January 28, 2011, constitutes a breach of contract and NHS is considering its position on termination of all or parts of the contract; however, NHS subsequently clarified that its notice was not intended to suggest that termination is the only option which it is considering and, in fact, NHS is considering the full range of options it believes are available to NHS. The Company has disputed the alleged breach. NHS is not at this time actively pursuing this claim under the dispute resolution procedures of the contract. Pennine subsequently elected not to continue with the Lorenzo deployment; however, NHS and the Company are jointly working to replace Pennine with another mental health care trust which would implement the Lorenzo system. Notwithstanding this dispute, both NHS and the Company continued discussions with the intention of finalizing the terms of the MOU.

As described above, NHS and the Company have been in discussions since 2010 regarding an MOU which would set forth an agreement in principle to the key terms of a reduction in scope and related total contract value. Beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2011, the MOU discussions have also included negotiation of terms and conditions which would form the basis for the parties’ future obligations under the contract and final resolution of all claims and disputes between the parties. The MOU generally represents a non-binding agreement in principle; however, it includes a legally binding standstill agreement which provides that while the parties are negotiating a contract amendment to implement the terms of the MOU, neither party will pursue any claims against the other party. Negotiation of the terms of the MOU was confirmed by the NHS to be substantially completed in May 2011.  Subsequent government reviews of the MOU are occurring and final government approval is still pending.  The Company has not been advised of a date by which final government action on the MOU is expected. A review of the overall NHS IT program for delivery of an integrated electronic patient records system, including but not limited to the Company’s contract with NHS, is being conducted by the U.K. Major Projects Authority, the joint U.K. Cabinet Office-Treasury body which oversees large public sector projects. The Company’s understanding is that this review must be concluded before NHS will be authorized to enter into a contract amendment implementing the terms of the MOU. The U.K. House of Commons Public Accounts Committee also undertook a review of the overall NHS IT program and issued its report on August 3, 2011. The Committee’s report is critical of the performance of the IT suppliers involved in the program, including that of the Company, and of NHS’ management of the program, as well as the benefits achieved under the program to date. Further, the Committee recommends that the Department of Health should review whether to continue the program and whether the remaining program funding should be spent elsewhere. The Committee also recommends that the Major Projects Authority exercise close scrutiny over the NHS’ continuing negotiations with the Company and that the government give serious consideration to whether the Company has proved itself fit to tender for other government work. Although NHS advised the Public Accounts Committee in the Committee’s May 23, 2011, public hearing that it intended to go forward with the IT program and to complete negotiations with the Company, and the Company has not been advised otherwise by NHS to date, there can be no assurance that the MOU will be approved nor, if it is approved, what final terms would be negotiated and included in the MOU.
 
As of July 1, 2011, the Company had a net investment in the contract of approximately $1.1 billion, which includes primarily $264 million of receivables, $1,188 million of contractual work in progress recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $316 million of advance contract payments recorded in deferred revenue, and $51 million of dedicated computer equipment. As a result of the contract amendment anticipated by the MOU, the Company estimates that total contract value will be reduced by £764 million ($1,222 million). The MOU also anticipates that the contract term be extended one year to June 2017 and the Company estimates revenue of £1.5 to £2.0 billion ($2.4 to $3.2 billion) over that remaining term. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded a contract inception-to-date adjustment reducing inception to date profit on the contract by $57 million and reduced the estimated margin rate for the remainder of the contract period, primarily due to increases in cost estimates for deployments, schedule delays and a reduced number of contractually required deployments under the contract amendment anticipated by the MOU.  These adjustments reflect the Company’s estimated cost to complete the contract under the terms of the contract amendment as reflected in the MOU.  With these amendments, the contract remains profitable and the Company would recover its investment.  Future events, including a decision by the U.K. government not to approve the terms of the MOU, however, could result in a charge to reduce the contract profitability recognized to date and impair the Company’s net investment in the contract, a reduction in future profitability or a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows.  On April 1, 2011, pursuant to the contract, NHS made an advance payment to the Company of £200 million ($320 million) related to the forecasted charges expected by the Company during fiscal year 2012. The advance payment is secured by performance bonds obtained by the Company.  The advance payment arrangement provides, as one of its conditions, that the Company could be required to repay the advance payment upon NHS’ demand on September 30, 2011, if the parties are not progressing satisfactorily toward completion of the expected contract amendment. There can be no assurance that the parties will have made satisfactory progress toward completion of a contract amendment within that time frame such that the advance payment will be extended beyond September 30, 2011, and the advance payment may have to be repaid.
 
NHS has the right to terminate the contract for convenience, in which case NHS would owe significant termination fees to the Company and the Company would have claims against NHS for compensation due to delays and excess costs caused by NHS or for contractual deployment delay remedies.  The Company believes that NHS, when considering its alternatives of maintaining or terminating the contract, will consider costs and risks that NHS may incur over and above those related to termination fees or damages payable to the Company and the associated legal processes, including the cost of initiating and managing a public tender procedure or procedures to obtain one or more suitable replacement suppliers, the operational risk of switching suppliers at this stage in the contract with the Company, the cost of alternative suppliers, and the cost of obtaining exit management services from the Company to ensure an orderly transition to one or more replacement suppliers.  If NHS elected to terminate the contract for convenience, the total amount recoverable by the Company from termination fees payable by NHS and from claims by the Company is uncertain and it is possible the Company’s total recovery would be materially less than the net asset value associated with the contract.  Future deployment delays caused by the Company could increase this shortfall materially until a contract amendment is signed.

There can be no assurance that the Company and NHS will successfully conclude negotiations and enter into a contract amendment or, if a contract amendment is negotiated and entered into, that the contract amendment as finally negotiated will reflect the terms of the MOU.  The time required to complete a contract amendment is uncertain and while the Company expects completion, signing and approval of a contract amendment in the fiscal year 2012, further unexpected delays could occur.  The final terms of any contract amendment, a significant delay in completing a contract amendment, failure to conclude a contract amendment, or a termination of the contract by NHS for convenience could result in an impairment of the Company’s net investment in the contract and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow.  In addition, these events could result in a goodwill impairment charge.
 
If the parties do not successfully conclude a contract amendment, either or both parties could elect to assert claims against the other for breach of contract or similar claims. Subject to a legal obligation to mitigate its damages and subject to contractual limits of the Company’s liability, NHS could elect in this event to seek delay damages under the contract or terminate the contract and seek damages from the Company, including alleged damages for the cost of a replacement system and for unrealized savings and benefits under the contract. The Company could assert claims against NHS for breach of contract and seek damages from NHS, including compensation due to delays and excess costs caused by NHS or for contractual deployment delay remedies. If NHS wrongfully seeks to terminate the contract and refuses to withdraw its termination notice following the Company's demand, the Company could assert a claim for wrongful termination and seek damages for repudiatory breach of contract. Although the parties have not asserted claims formally in any arbitration or other legal proceeding, there can be no assurance that in any such proceeding NHS will not assert claims against the Company for damages in a material amount. The Company believes that the NHS contract is enforceable and that NHS has no existing right to terminate the contract. However, contractual disputes and litigation of this nature are complex and inherently uncertain and the Company’s position is subject to the ongoing review and evaluation of new facts and information which may come to the Company’s attention. If a contractual dispute or litigation ensues, the outcome is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail or that the NHS would not obtain a judgment and a material award of damages against the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
On July 29, 2011, the Company acquired iSoft Group Limited, a provider of advanced healthcare IT solutions for consideration of $469 million, net of $33 million cash acquired. The consideration included $246 million for all of the outstanding equity securities and $256 million for the pay-off of outstanding debt. This acquisition was funded through the Company’s existing cash balances.
 
The Company's total liquidity is comprised of cash and cash equivalents plus any borrowing availability under its credit facility. As of July 1, 2011, the Company's total liquidity was approximately $3.0 billion comprised of $1.3 billion of available commercial paper drawdown and $1.7 billion of cash on hand.
 
Continued uncertainty in the global economic conditions may affect the Company’s business as customers and suppliers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect operating cash flow.
 
It is management's opinion that the Company will be able to meet its liquidity and cash needs for the foreseeable future through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, cash balances, and other financing activities, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, and/or the exercise of the put option with Equifax, as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated impact to the Company are described in the notes to the interim consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q as well as in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011.

The Company has identified several critical accounting estimates which are described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis" of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011. An accounting estimate is considered critical if both: (a) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (b) the impact of changes in the estimates and assumptions would have a material effect on the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company's critical accounting estimates relate to: revenue recognition and cost estimation on long term, fixed-price contracts; revenue recognition on software license sales that require significant customization; capitalization of outsourcing contract costs and software development costs; assumptions related to purchase accounting and goodwill; assumptions to determine retirement benefits costs and liabilities; and assumptions and estimates used to analyze legal and tax contingencies. Modifications to contract scope, schedule, and price may be required on development contracts accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis and other contracts with the U.S. federal government. Accounting for such changes prior to formal contract modification requires evaluation of the characteristics and circumstances of the effort completed and assessment of probability of recovery. If recovery is deemed probable, the Company may, as appropriate, either defer the costs until the parties have agreed on the contract change or recognize the costs and related revenue as current period contract performance. The Company routinely negotiates such contract modifications. For all these estimates, we caution that future events may not develop as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

PART I, ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
 
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
For a discussion of the Company's market risk associated with interest rates and foreign currencies as of July 1, 2011, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Part II, Item 7A, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2011. For the quarter ended July 1, 2011, there has been no significant change in related market risk factors.
 
 
PART I, ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
“Disclosure controls and procedures” are the controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in its Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of July 1, 2011.  Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 1, 2011.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
“Internal controls over financial reporting” is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and financial officers, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
1.
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
 
2.
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the issuer; and
 
3.
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
During the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2011, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
Part II.  Other Information
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The information required by this item is set forth in Note 14, Commitments & Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements under the caption “Contingencies,” contained in Part I – Item 1 of this filing.  Such information is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
 
 
 
- 36 -

 
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
Past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future financial performance.  Future performance and historical trends may be adversely affected by the following factors, as well as other variables, and should not be relied upon to project future period results.
 
1.  
Our business may be adversely impacted as a result of changes in demand, both globally and in individual market segments, for information technology outsourcing, business process outsourcing and consulting and systems integration services.
 
Economic and political uncertainty may adversely impact our customers’ demand for our services.  A general economic downturn may adversely affect our customers’ demand for consulting, systems integration and other IT services.  In addition, our government customers’ demand may also be affected by budgetary and political uncertainties, changing priorities, military conflicts and other events.
 
2.  
We are subject to a formal SEC investigation and an SEC comment letter process relating to certain previously announced accounting adjustments in our MSS segment, primarily in Europe’s Nordic region, which could divert management’s focus, result in substantial investigation expenses and have an adverse impact on our reputation and financial condition and results of operations.
 
As previously disclosed, in the fiscal year 2011, the Company initiated an investigation into certain accounting adjustments in our MSS segment, primarily involving accounting irregularities in the Nordic region.  Initially, the investigation was conducted by the Company personnel, but outside Company counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company’s investigation.  On January 28, 2011, the Company was notified by the Division of Enforcement of the SEC that it had commenced a formal civil investigation relating to these matters and other matters subsequently identified by the SEC, with which the Company is cooperating.  On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors commenced an independent investigation into matters relating to MSS and the Nordic region, matters identified by subpoenas issued by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement and certain other accounting matters identified by the Audit Committee and retained independent counsel to represent CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with such independent investigation.  Independent counsel has retained forensic accountants to assist their work.  Independent counsel also represents CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
 
In addition, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting additional information regarding its previously disclosed adjustments in connection with the above-referenced accounting errors, the Company’s conclusions relating to the materiality of such adjustments and the Company’s analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting.  The Division of Corporation Finance’s comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.
 
The investigations being conducted by the Division of Enforcement and the Audit Committee as well as the review of our financial disclosures by the Division of Corporation Finance are continuing and could identify other accounting errors.  As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement’s and the Audit Committee’s investigations will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us.  In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of Corporation Finance’s review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review.  Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC’s investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
3.  
Our largest customer, the U.S. federal government, accounts for a significant portion of our revenue and earnings.  Inherent in the government contracting process are various risks which may materially and adversely affect our business and profitability.
 
Our NPS segment generated approximately 37% of our revenue for fiscal 2011.  While the pipeline for government projects continues to be generally less affected by economic downturns, the U.S. budget deficit, including deficit reduction measures, the cost of ongoing military conflicts, the cost of rebuilding infrastructure as a result of natural disasters, and the costs of other one-time adverse events such as the recent financial industry liquidity crisis, may reduce the U.S. federal government’s demand and available funds for information technology projects, adversely impacting our NPS segment and our business.  In addition, federal government budget uncertainty has resulted in a delay in government contract awards.
 
 
 
- 37 -

 
 
Our exposure to the risks inherent in the government contracting process is material.  These risks include government audits of billable contract costs and reimbursable expenses, project funding and requests for equitable adjustment, compliance with government reporting requirements as well as the consequences if improper or illegal activities are discovered.
 
If any of these should occur, our reputation may be adversely impacted and our relationship with the government agencies we work with may be damaged, resulting in a material and adverse effect on our profitability.
 
4.  
We are currently in negotiations with the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) to modify the terms of our contractual relationship. Failure to conclude a satisfactory resolution could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
CSC and NHS are parties to a £2.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion at originally announced exchange rates) contract under which the Company is developing and deploying an integrated electronic patient records system.  On February 4, 2011, NHS formally notified the Company that it believes the Company’s failure to achieve a key milestone constitutes a breach of contract and NHS is considering its position on termination of all or parts of the contract; however, NHS subsequently clarified that its notice was not intended to suggest that termination is the only option which it is considering and, in fact, NHS is considering the full range of options it believes are available to NHS. Notwithstanding this dispute, both NHS and the Company continued discussions leading to agreement on the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the terms of which would ultimately be reflected in a contract amendment. Negotiation of the terms of the MOU was confirmed by the NHS to be substantially completed in May 2011. Subsequent government reviews of the MOU are occurring and final government approval is still pending. The Company has not been advised of a date by which final government action on the MOU is expected or whether, or on what terms, the MOU will be approved.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company and NHS will successfully conclude negotiations of the MOU and enter into a contract amendment or, if a contract amendment is negotiated and entered into, that the contract amendment as finally negotiated will reflect the terms of the MOU.  The time required to complete a contract amendment is uncertain and while the Company expects completion, signing and approval of a contract amendment in fiscal year 2012, further unexpected delays could occur, and any delays beyond September 30, 2011, could result in a demand by NHS for our repayment of advance contract payments previously made to us. Further, under the contract the NHS has the right to terminate the contract for convenience, in which case NHS would owe significant termination fees to the Company; however, the total amount recoverable by the Company from termination in fees payable by NHS and from claims by the Company is uncertain and it is possible the Company’s total recovery would be materially less than the net asset value associated with the contract.  The final terms of any contract amendment, a significant delay in completing a contract amendment, or failure to conclude a contract amendment could result in an impairment of the Company’s net investment in the contract, could result in litigation and have an adverse material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow.  In addition, these events could result in a goodwill impairment charge (see Notes 13 and 14 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further discussion).
 
5.  
Our ability to continue to develop and expand our service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends will impact our future growth.  If we are not successful in meeting these business challenges, our results of operations and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our ability to implement solutions for our customers incorporating new developments and improvements in technology which translate into productivity improvements for our customers and to develop service offerings that meet the current and prospective customers’ needs are critical to our success.  The markets we serve are highly competitive.  Our competitors may develop solutions or services which make our offerings obsolete.  Our ability to develop and implement up to date solutions utilizing new technologies which meet evolving customer needs in consulting and systems integration and technology outsourcing markets will impact our future revenue growth and earnings.
 
6.  
Our primary markets, technology outsourcing and consulting and systems integration, are highly competitive markets.  If we are unable to compete in these highly competitive markets, our results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our competitors include large, technically competent and well capitalized companies.  As a result, the markets which we serve are highly competitive.  This competition may place downward pressure on operating margins in our industry, particularly for technology outsourcing contract extensions or renewals.  As a result, we may not be able to maintain our current operating margins for technology outsourcing contracts, extended or renewed in the future.
 
Any reductions in margins will require that we effectively manage our cost structure.  If we fail to effectively manage our cost structure during periods with declining margins, our results of operations will be adversely affected.
 
 
 
- 38 -

 
 
7.  
Our ability to raise additional capital for future needs will impact our ability to compete in the markets we serve.
 
We may require additional capital to purchase assets, complete strategic acquisitions, or for general liquidity needs.  Declines in our credit rating or limits on our ability to sell additional shares may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital at a reasonable cost and may adversely impact our revenue growth and the price of our stock.
 
8.  
Our ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions may materially and adversely affect our profitability if we fail to achieve anticipated revenue improvements and cost reductions.
 
Our ability to successfully integrate the operations we acquire and leverage these operations to generate revenue and earnings growth will significantly impact future revenue and earnings as well as investor returns.  Integrating acquired operations is a significant challenge and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to manage the integrations successfully.  Failure to successfully integrate acquired operations may adversely affect our cost structure thereby reducing our margins and return on investment.
 
9.  
We could suffer losses due to asset impairment charges.
 
We test our goodwill for impairment during the second quarter every year, and on an interim date should events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 (SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”). If the fair value of a reporting unit is revised downward due to declines in business performance or other factors, an impairment under ASC 350 could result and a non-cash charge could be required. This could materially affect our reported net earnings.
 
We also test certain deferred costs associated with contract acquisitions when the contract is materially underperforming or is expected to materially underperform in the future, as compared to the original bid model or budget.  If the projected cash flows of the particular contract are not adequate to recover the unamortized cost balance of the asset group, the balance is adjusted in the tested period based on the contract’s fair value.  These impairments could materially affect our reported net earnings.
 
10.  
Our customers may experience financial difficulties or may request out-of-scope work, and we may not be able to collect our receivables, materially and adversely affecting our profitability.
 
Over the course of a long-term contract, our customers’ financial condition may change affecting their ability to pay their obligations and our ability to collect our fees for services rendered.  Additionally, we may perform work for the federal government, for which we must file requests for equitable adjustment or claims with the proper agency to seek recovery in whole or in part for out-of-scope work directed or caused by the customers in support of their critical missions.  While we may resort to other methods to pursue our claims or collect our receivables, these methods are expensive and time consuming and success is not guaranteed.  Failure to collect our receivables or prevail on our claims would have an adverse affect on our profitability.
 
11.  
If we are unable to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our commercial and federal government contracts are typically awarded on a competitive basis.  Our bids are based upon, among other items, the cost to provide the services.  To generate an acceptable return on our investment in these contracts we must be able to accurately estimate our costs to provide the services required by the contract and to be able to complete the contracts in a timely manner.  If we fail to accurately estimate our costs or the time required to complete a contract or fail to perform as forecasted, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected, including the Company recognizing a forward loss or adjustment to cumulative profit previously recognized.
 
12.  
We are defendants in pending litigation which may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability. We provide services to the federal government pursuant to contracts that subject us to extensive regulatory requirements.
 
As noted in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, we are currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation.  We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of these disputes or the actual impact of these matters on our profitability.  If we agree to settle these matters or judgments are secured against us, we may incur charges which may have a material and adverse impact on our liquidity and earnings.
 
 
- 39 -

 
 
We are engaged in providing services under contracts with the U.S. government.  These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements.  U.S. government investigations of us, whether related to the Company’s federal government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting.
 
13.  
Our ability to provide our customers with competitive services is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
 
Our ability to grow and provide our customers with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our customers.  As we noted above, the markets we serve are highly competitive and competition for skilled employees in the technology outsourcing and consulting and systems integration markets is intense for both on-shore and offshore locales.
 
In addition, services for some government clients require personnel with security clearances.  Qualified personnel with security clearances are in very high demand.
 
14.  
Our international operations are exposed to risks, including fluctuations in exchange rates, which may be beyond our control.
 
For fiscal 2011, approximately 37% of our recognized revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, we are exposed to various risks associated with operating in multiple countries including exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. While this risk is partially mitigated by largely matching costs with revenues in a given currency, our exposure to fluctuations in other currencies against the U.S. dollar increases as revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar increase and as more of the services we provide are shifted to lower cost regions of the world. We believe that the percentage of our revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenue. Also, we believe that some of our ability to match revenue and expenses in a given currency will decrease as more work is performed at offshore locations.
 
We operate in approximately ninety countries and our operations in these countries are subject to the local legal and political environments. Our operations are subject to, among other things, employment, taxation, statutory reporting, trade restrictions and other regulations. Notwithstanding our best efforts, we may not be in compliance with all regulations around the world and may be subject to penalties and/or fines as a result. These penalties or fines may materially and adversely impact our profitability.
 
15.  
We may be exposed to negative publicity and other potential risks if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls.
 
We are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to provide a report from management to our shareholders on our internal control over financial reporting including an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls to provide reasonable assurance that a material misstatement will not occur in our financial statements. The failure of our controls to provide reasonable assurance that a material misstatement does not exist or to detect a material misstatement may cause us to be unable to meet our filing requirements and the resulting negative publicity may adversely affect our business, and our stock price may be materially and adversely affected.
 
16.  
In the course of providing services to customers, we may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and be exposed to claims for damages.
 
The solutions we provide to our customers may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties resulting in claims for damages against us or our customers.  Our contracts generally indemnify our clients from claims for intellectual property infringement for the services and equipment we provide under our contracts.  The expense and time of defending against these claims may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability.  Additionally, the publicity we may receive as a result of infringing intellectual property rights may damage our reputation and adversely impact our ability to develop new business.
 
 
- 40 -

 
 
17.  
Generally our contracts contain provisions under which a customer may terminate the contract prior to completion.  Early contract terminations may materially and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
 
Our contracts contain provisions by which customers may terminate the contract prior to completion of the term of the contract.  These contracts generally allow the customer to terminate the contract for convenience upon providing written notice.  In these cases, we seek, either by defined contract schedules or through negotiations, recovery of our property, plant, equipment, outsourcing costs, investments, and other intangibles.  There is no assurance we will be able to fully recover our investments.
 
We may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from these contracts in the short-term.  In the long-term, our reputation may be harmed by the publicity generated from contract terminations.
 
18.  
Our ability to compete in certain markets we serve is dependent on our ability to continue to expand our capacity in certain offshore locations.  However, as our presence in these locations increases, we are exposed to risks inherent to these locations which may adversely impact our revenue and profitability.
 
A significant portion of our application outsourcing and software development activities have been shifted to India and we plan to continue to expand our presence there and in other lower cost locations.  As such, we are exposed to the risks inherent to operating in India including (1) a highly competitive labor market for skilled workers which may result in significant increases in labor costs as well as shortages of qualified workers in the future, (2) the possibility that the U.S. federal government or the European Union may enact legislation which may provide significant disincentives to customers to offshore certain of their operations which would reduce the demand for the services we provide in India and may adversely impact our cost structure and profitability.
 
19.  
Our performance on contracts, including those on which we have partnered with third parties, may be adversely affected if we or the third parties fail to deliver on commitments.
 
Our contracts are increasingly complex, and in some instances, require that we partner with other parties including software and hardware vendors to provide the complex solutions required by our customers.  Our ability to deliver the solutions and provide the services required by our customers is dependent on our and our partners' ability to meet our customers' delivery schedules.  If we or our partners fail to deliver services or products on time, our ability to complete the contract may be adversely affected, which may have a material and adverse impact on our revenue and profitability.
 
20.  
Our inability to protect client information could impair our reputation, and we could suffer significant financial loss.
 
As one of the larger companies in the IT and professional services industry, we are subject to potentially adverse impacts if sensitive client information is unintentionally lost, stolen, or compromised.  We are responsible for substantial amounts of sensitive client information which often includes confidential, private, and financial records.  Failure to protect our clients could result in reparation costs and loss of business that may negatively impact our reputation and earnings.
 
21.  
Changes in the Company’s tax rates could affect its future results.
 
The Company’s future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws or their interpretation.  The Company is subject to the continuous examination of its income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities.  The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for taxes.  There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
 
The recently proposed President Obama administration international tax provisions may adversely affect our results.  The Company has significant operations overseas, and the new proposals may adversely affect our costs and margins.  Also, some of these proposals may cause the Company to be less globally competitive as a U.S. tax liability would increase costs of doing business globally.
 
 
 
- 41 -

 
 
22.  
We may be adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets, including reduced access to credit and higher costs of obtaining credit.
 
The credit markets have historically been volatile and therefore it is not possible for the Company to predict the ability of its clients and customers to access short-term financing and other forms of capital.  If a disruption in the credit markets were to occur, it could also pose a risk to the Company’s business as customers and suppliers may be unable to obtain financing to meet payment or delivery obligations to the Company.  In addition, customers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect revenue.
 
23.  
Our foreign currency hedging program is subject to counterparty default risk.
 
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and options with a number of counterparties.  As of July 1, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $776 million and outstanding option contracts with a notional value of $492 million. The terms of these contracts are often customized and complex.  As a result, the Company is subject to the risk that the counterparty to one or more of these contracts defaults on its performance under the contract.  During an economic downturn, the counterparty’s financial condition may deteriorate rapidly and with little notice and we may be unable to take action to protect our exposure.  In the event of a counterparty default, we could incur significant losses, which may harm our business and financial condition.  In the event that one or more of our counterparties becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually recover any losses suffered as a result of that counterparty’s default may be limited by the liquidity of the counterparty.
 
24.  
We derive significant revenue and profit from contracts awarded through a competitive bidding process, which can impose substantial costs on us, and we will not achieve revenue and profit objectives if we fail to compete effectively.
 
We derive significant revenue and profit from contracts that are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that most of the government business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through competitive bidding. Competitive bidding imposes substantial costs and presents a number of risks, including:
  • the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may or may not be awarded to us;
  • the need to estimate accurately the resources and costs that will be required to service any contracts we are awarded, sometimes in advance of the final determination of their full scope;
  • the expense and delay that may arise if our competitors protest or challenge government contract awards made to us pursuant to competitive bidding, and the risk that such protests or challenges could result in the requirements to resubmit bids, and in the termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contracts; and
  • the opportunity cost of not bidding on and winning other contracts we might otherwise pursue.
 
25.  
Catastrophic events or climate conditions may disrupt CSC’s business.
 
The Company and its customers are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. Our revenues and results of operations may be adversely affected by the passage of climate change and other environmental legislation and regulations.  For example, new legislation or regulations may result in increased costs directly for our compliance or indirectly to the extent that such requirements increase prices charged to us by vendors because of increased compliance costs.  At this point, we are unable to determine the impact that climate change and other environmental legislation and regulations could have on our overall business.

EXHIBIT 10.9

 
STOCK OPTION SCHEDULE X4-2
 

 
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Stock Option Schedule (the “Schedule”) shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Computer Sciences Corporation 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the UK Sub-Plan to the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "UK Sub-Plan”).

This Schedule has been incorporated by reference into the Agreement and, by signing the Agreement, the Employee has acknowledged and agreed to the additional terms and conditions of this Schedule.  This Schedule and the Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreement” herein.

1. Interpretation.  The Option was granted pursuant to the Plan, as modified by the UK Sub-Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, in order to secure certain favorable tax advantages under the laws of the United Kingdom.  In the event of an inconsistency between the Plan, as approved by the Stockholders of the Company on August 13, 2001, the UK Sub-Plan and this Agreement, the following descending order of precedence shall apply:
 
 
(a)
the UK Sub-Plan,
 
 
(b)
this Agreement, and
 
 
(c)
the Plan,
 
provided that in no event shall the obligations of the Company be construed more broadly than the authority extended by the Company's Stockholders pursuant to the Plan.
 
2. Acceleration and Termination.
 
(a) Termination of Status as Full-Time Employee.
 
(i) Termination at Age 62 or Older.
 
(A) If the Employee’s status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated at age 62 or older for no reason, or for any reason other than Cause (as hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, by reason of death or Permanent Disability (as hereinafter defined), then:
 
(1) if the Employee shall have been (or for any other purpose shall have been treated as if he or she had been) a continuous full-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for at least 10 years immediately prior to the date of termination of full-time status (the “Employment Termination Date”), then (a) the portion of the Option that has not vested on or prior to such date shall fully vest immediately prior to such date, and (b) subject to Section 2(a)(ii) hereof, the Option shall terminate upon the earlier of the Expiration Date or the fifth anniversary of the Employment Termination Date; and
 
 
 
1

 
 
 
(2) if the Employee shall not have been (and shall not for any other purpose have been treated as if he or she had been) a continuous full-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for at least 10 years immediately prior to the Employment Termination Date, then, subject to Section 2(a)(ii) hereof (a) the portion of the Option that has not vested on or prior to such date shall terminate on such date, and (b) the remaining vested portion of the Option shall terminate upon the earlier of the Expiration Date or the fifth anniversary of the Employment Termination Date.
 
(B) If the Employee’s status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated at age 62 or older for Cause, then (1) the portion of the Option that has not vested on or prior to such date shall terminate on such date, and (2) the remaining vested portion of the Option shall terminate upon the earlier of the Expiration Date or three months after the Employment Termination Date.
 
(C) “Cause” shall mean: (1) fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or other act of material misconduct against the Company or any of its affiliates; (2) conviction of a felony involving a crime of moral turpitude; (3) willful and knowing violation of any rules or regulations of any governmental or regulatory body material to the business of the Company; or (4) substantial and willful failure to render services in accordance with the terms of his or her employment (other than as a result of illness, accident or other physical or mental incapacity), provided that (a) a demand for performance of services has been delivered to the Employee in writing by the Employee’s supervisor at least 60 days prior to termination identifying the manner in which such supervisor believes that the Employee has failed to perform and (b) the Employee has thereafter failed to remedy such failure to perform.
 
(ii) Lay-Off or Leave of Absence.  If the Employee’s status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of a permanent or temporary lay-off or a leave of absence approved in advance in writing by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Corporate Vice President of Human Resources (an “Approved Leave of Absence”), then the Option shall thereafter be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as though such status had been voluntarily terminated by the Employee other than for death, Permanent Disability or Cause; provided, however, that if the Employee shall again become a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries prior to the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the Employment Termination Date, then the Option shall thereafter be treated, for all purposes under this Agreement other than the vesting of any portion of the Option that shall have vested on or prior to such date, as though the Employee had not, prior to such date, ceased to be a full-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries.
 
(iii) Death or Permanent Disability at Age 61 or Younger.
 
(A) If the Employee’s status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated at age 61 or younger by reason of the death or Permanent Disability of the Employee, then (1) the portion of the Option that has not vested on or prior to the Employment Termination Date shall terminate on such date and (2) the remaining vested portion of the Option shall terminate upon the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the Employment Termination Date.
 
 
 
2

 
 
(B) “Permanent Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.  The Employee shall not be deemed to have a Permanent Disability until proof of the existence thereof shall have been furnished to the Board of Directors of the Company in such form and manner, and at such times, as the Board of Directors may require.  Any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that the Employee does or does not have a Permanent Disability shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Employee.
 
(iv) Other Termination at Age 61 or Younger.  If the Employee’s status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated at age 61 or younger for no reason, or for any reason (including Cause) other than death, Permanent Disability, permanent or temporary lay-off, or Approved Leave of Absence, then (A) the portion of the Option that has not vested on or prior to the Employment Termination Date shall terminate on such date and (B) the remaining vested portion of the Option shall terminate upon the earlier of the Expiration Date or three months after the Employment Termination Date.
 
(b) Death Following Termination of Full-Time Status.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee shall die at any time after the termination of his or her status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and at a time when the Option is exercisable, then the Option shall remain exercisable until, and shall terminate upon, the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the date of such death.
 
(c) Acceleration of Option.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of the Option at any time and for any reason, subject to the requirements of Rule 4.4 of the UK Sub-Plan.  In addition, the Option shall fully vest with respect to all Option Shares upon the first to occur of the following:
 
(i)           unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the approval of any of the following by both the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company: (A) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (B) a sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, (C) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination to which the Company is a party and the consummation of which would result in the outstanding securities of any class then subject to the Option being exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or securities not issued by the Company, or (D) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination to which the Company is a party and the consummation of which would not result in the outstanding voting securities of the Company being exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or securities not issued by the Company, provided that the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such business combination (or, if applicable, the securities of the Company into which such voting securities are converted as a result of such business combination) would represent less than 50% of the voting power of the Company immediately following such business combination;
 
 
 
3

 
 
(ii)           unless the Committee, by vote of a majority of the directors of the Company who are, and immediately prior to such event were, members of the Committee, shall determine otherwise within ten business days thereafter, the public announcement that any person or entity, together with all Affiliates and Associates (as such capitalized terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of such person or entity, has become the Beneficial Owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of voting securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the voting power of the Company, provided, however, that the terms “person” and “entity,” as used in this subsection (ii), shall not include (A) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (C) any entity holding voting securities of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan;
 
(iii)           any date upon which the directors of the Company who were nominated by the Board of Directors for election as directors cease to constitute a majority of the directors of the Company, unless, prior to such date, the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise; or
 
(iv)           a change of control of the Company of the type required to be disclosed in a proxy statement pursuant to Item 6(e) (or any successor provision) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, unless, prior to such change of control, the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise.
 
(d) Certain Events Causing Termination of Option.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Option shall terminate upon the consummation of any of the following events, or, if later, the thirtieth day following the first date upon which such event shall have been approved by both the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company, or upon such later date as shall be determined by the Committee:
 
(i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;
 
(ii) a sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, unless the terms of such sale shall provide otherwise; or
 
(iii) a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company that results in the outstanding securities of any class then subject to the Option being exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or securities not issued by the Company, unless the terms of such reorganization, merger or consolidation provide otherwise.
 
 
 
4

 
 
(e) Retirement Age for Purposes of the UK Sub-Plan.  Pursuant to Section 524 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the retirement age is 55 years for the purposes of the UK Sub-Plan.
 
3. Adjustments.  In the event that the outstanding securities of the class then subject to the Option are varied within the terms of Rule 7 of the UK Sub-Plan, the Committee shall make appropriate and proportionate adjustments in the number and type of shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the Option and the Exercise Price of the then unexercised portion of the Option.
 
4. Exercise.  The Option shall be exercisable during the Employee’s lifetime only by the Employee or by his or her guardian or legal representative, and after the Employee’s death only by the person or entity entitled to do so under the Employee’s last will and testament or applicable intestate law.  The Option may only be exercised by the delivery to the Company of a written notice of such exercise, in the form specified by the Company, which notice shall, among other things, specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the aggregate Exercise Price for such shares, together with payment in full of such aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to the Company’s cashless exercise program.

10. Stockholder Rights.  No person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of any Option Shares until the Option shall have been duly exercised to purchase such Option Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
 
11. Nature of Company Option Grants.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a) the Plan and the UK Sub-Plan were established voluntarily by the Company, they are discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan, the UK Sub-Plan, and this Agreement;
 
(b) the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future Option grants, or any benefits in lieu of Options, even if the Employee has repeatedly received Option grants in the past;
 
(c) all decisions with respect to future grants of Options by the Company will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
 
(d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time with or without Cause;
 
(e) the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan and the UK Sub-Plan;
 
(f) the Option is an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any;

(h) in the event that the Employee is not an employee of the Company, the Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Subsidiary of the Company;
 
 
 
8

 
 
(i) the future value of the underlying Option Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(m) notwithstanding any term or condition of the Agreement to the contrary, in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), his or her right to receive Options under the Plan and the UK Sub-Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed, and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s “status as a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,” for purposes of Section 2 hereof, will be deemed to terminate on the date of termination of his or her active employment, and such status will be deemed not to be extended by any notice period mandated under local law;  the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for all purposes under the Agreement.
 
12. Successors.  The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, on the one hand, and the Employee and his or her heirs, beneficiaries, legatees and personal representatives, on the other hand.
 
13. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. The Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto.  None of the terms and conditions of the Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation.  A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.
 
14. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the terms and provisions of the Agreement, or to resolve any dispute or controversy arising under or in any way relating to the Agreement, may be brought in the state courts for the County of Washoe, State of Nevada, United States of America, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

16. Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

Withholding and Taxes.
 
(a) Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer may take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S., federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items (collectively, “Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer.  The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU, including, but not limited to, the grant or settlement of the RSU, the subsequent sale of RSU Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalents or dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular result.  Furthermore, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(c) Finally, the Employee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Section.  The Company may refuse to honor the RSU if the Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
 
11.

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan, or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of RSU Shares.  The Employee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

13.  
Stock Exchange; Applicable Laws.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no RSU Shares delivered upon settlement of the RSU, and no certificate representing all or any part of such shares, shall be issued or delivered if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such issuance or delivery would cause the Company to be in violation of, or to incur liability under, any securities law, or any rule, regulation or procedure of any U.S. national securities exchange upon which any securities of the Company are listed, or any listing agreement with any such securities exchange, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.

15.  
Plan.
 
The RSU is granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Employee, without his or her consent, of the RSU or of any of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employee.  Until the RSU is settled in full, the Company shall, upon written request therefor, send a copy of the Plan, in its then-current form, to the Employee.
 
16.  
No Employment Guaranteed.
 
No provision of this Agreement shall (a) be deemed to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) confer upon the Employee any right to be or continue to be in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) affect the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Employee, with or without Cause, or (d) confer upon the Employee any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than the Plan.  The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Employer may terminate the employment of the Employee at any time and for any reason, or for no reason, unless applicable law provides otherwise or unless the Employee and the Employer are parties to a written employment agreement that expressly provides otherwise.

17.  
Nature of Company Restricted Stock Unit Grants.
 
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a) the Plan was established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and this Agreement;
 
(b) the Company grants RSUs voluntarily and on an occasional basis, and the receipt of the RSU by the Employee does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future grant of RSUs, or any benefits in lieu of a grant of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;
 
(c) all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs by the Company will be made in the sole discretion of the Company;
 
(d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;
 
(e) the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
 
(f) the future value of the RSU and RSU Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
 
(g) the RSU and RSU Shares are an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment or service contract, if any;
 
(h) the RSU and the RSU shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
 
(i) the RSU and the RSU Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, or any bonuses, long-service awards or pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or any similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
 
(j) the RSU and the Employee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
 
 
 
11

 
(k) in consideration of the grant of the RSU, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSU or diminution in value of the RSU or RSU Shares resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and
 
(l) in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to settlement of the RSU under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the RSU.
 
18.  
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to resolve any dispute or controversy arising under or in any way relating to this Agreement, may be brought in the state courts for the County of Washoe, State of Nevada, United States of America, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
 
19.  
Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers.
 
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto.  None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation.  A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.
 
20.  
Section 409A Compliance.
 
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
 
 
 
12

 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes.  In particular:
 
(a) if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
 
(b) if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 5 hereof, then:
 
(i) upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the 120-month rolling average yield to maturity of the index called the “Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporates, A Rated, 15+ Years Index” (or any successor index, or if neither exists, the most similar index which does exist) as of December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the Settlement Delay Period commences, compounded annually; and
 
(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b).  Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee.  The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 20, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes.  The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 20.
 
21. Language.
 
If the Employee has received the Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by local law.
 
 
 
13

 
22. Electronic Delivery.
 
The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSU granted under and participation in the Plan or future RSUs that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
 
23. Severability.
 
Any provision of the Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of the Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
 
24. Appendix.
 
Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the RSU shall be subject to the special terms and provisions as set forth in the Appendix to the Agreement for the Employee’s country of residence, if any.  Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan.  The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
 
25. Imposition of Other Requirements.
 
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the RSU and on any RSU Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no RSU Shares delivered upon settlement of the RSU, and no certificate representing all or any part of such shares, shall be issued or delivered if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such issuance or delivery would cause the Company to be in violation of, or to incur liability under, any securities law, or any rule, regulation or procedure of any U.S. national securities exchange upon which any securities of the Company are listed, or any listing agreement with any such securities exchange, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.

15.  
Plan.
 
The RSU is granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Employee, without his or her consent, of the RSU or of any of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employee.  Until the RSU is settled in full, the Company shall, upon written request therefor, send a copy of the Plan, in its then-current form, to the Employee.
 
16.  
No Employment Guaranteed.
 
No provision of this Agreement shall (a) be deemed to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) confer upon the Employee any right to be or continue to be in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) affect the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Employee, with or without Cause, or (d) confer upon the Employee any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than the Plan.  The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Employer may terminate the employment of the Employee at any time and for any reason, or for no reason, unless applicable law provides otherwise or unless the Employee and the Employer are parties to a written employment agreement that expressly provides otherwise.
 
17.  
Nature of Company Restricted Stock Unit Grants.
 
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a) the Plan was established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and this Agreement;
 
(b) the Company grants RSUs voluntarily and on an occasional basis, and the receipt of the RSU by the Employee does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future grant of RSUs, or any benefits in lieu of a grant of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;
 
(c) all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs by the Company will be made in the sole discretion of the Company;
 
(d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;
 
(e) the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
 
 
 
10

 
 
(f) the future value of the RSU and RSU Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
 
(g) the RSU and RSU Shares are an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment or service contract, if any;
 
(h) the RSU and the RSU shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
 
(i) the RSU and the RSU Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, or any bonuses, long-service awards or pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or any similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
 
(j) the RSU and the Employee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
 
(k) in consideration of the grant of the RSU, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSU or diminution in value of the RSU or RSU Shares resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and
 
(l) in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to settlement of the RSU under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the RSU.
 
18.  
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to resolve any dispute or controversy arising under or in any way relating to this Agreement, may be brought in the state courts for the County of Washoe, State of Nevada, United States of America, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

19.  
Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers.
 
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto.  None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation.  A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.
 
20.  
Section 409A Compliance.
 
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes.  In particular:
 
(a) if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
 
(b) if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 5 hereof, then:
 
(i) upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the 120-month rolling average yield to maturity of the index called the “Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporates, A Rated, 15+ Years Index” (or any successor index, or if neither exists, the most similar index which does exist) as of December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the Settlement Delay Period commences, compounded annually; and
 
 
 
12

 
 
(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b).  Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee.  The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 20, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes.  The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 20.
 
21.  
Language.
 
If the Employee has received the Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by local law.
 
22.  
Electronic Delivery.
 
The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSU granted under and participation in the Plan or future RSUs that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
 
23.  
Severability.
 
Any provision of the Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of the Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
 
24.  
Additional Appendix.
 
Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the RSU shall be subject to the special terms and provisions as set forth in Appendix B to the Agreement for the Employee’s country of residence, if any.  Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan.  Appendix B constitutes part of this Agreement.
 
 
 
13

 
 
25.  
Imposition of Other Requirements.
 
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the RSU and on any RSU Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

9.  
Withholding and Taxes.
 
(a) Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer may take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S., federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items (collectively, “Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer.  The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU, including, but not limited to, the grant or settlement of the RSU, the subsequent sale of RSU Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalents or dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular result.  Furthermore, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
 
(b) Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Employee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, at their discretion, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding all applicable Tax-Related Items from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Employee by the Company and/or the Employer, or (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of the RSU Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSU pursuant to the Company’s cashless settlement program.
 
 
 
6

 
(c) Finally, the Employee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Section.  The Company may refuse to honor the RSU if the Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
 
10.  
No Advice Regarding RSU.
 
The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan, or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of RSU Shares.  The Employee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
 
11.  
Stock Certificates.
 
Certificates representing the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award will bear all legends required by law and necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of the Plan and this Award.  The Company may place a “stop transfer” order against shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award until all restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan or this Agreement and in the legends referred to in this Section 11 have been complied with.
 
12.  
Stock Exchange; Applicable Laws.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no RSU Shares delivered upon settlement of the RSU, and no certificate representing all or any part of such shares, shall be issued or delivered if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such issuance or delivery would cause the Company to be in violation of, or to incur liability under, any securities law, or any rule, regulation or procedure of any U.S. national securities exchange upon which any securities of the Company are listed, or any listing agreement with any such securities exchange, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.
 
13.  
Successors and Assigns.
 
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Employee may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted herein.
 
 
14.  
Plan.
 
The RSU is granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Employee, without his or her consent, of the RSU or of any of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employee.  Until the RSU is settled in full, the Company shall, upon written request therefor, send a copy of the Plan, in its then-current form, to the Employee.
 
 
 
7

 
 
15.  
No Employment Guaranteed.
 
No provision of this Agreement shall (a) be deemed to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) confer upon the Employee any right to be or continue to be in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) affect the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Employee, with or without Cause, or (d) confer upon the Employee any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than the Plan.  The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Employer may terminate the employment of the Employee at any time and for any reason, or for no reason, unless applicable law provides otherwise or unless the Employee and the Employer are parties to a written employment agreement that expressly provides otherwise.
 
16.  
Nature of Company Restricted Stock Unit Grants.
 
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a) the Plan was established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and this Agreement;
 
(b) the Company grants RSUs voluntarily and on an occasional basis, and the receipt of the RSU by the Employee does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future grant of RSUs, or any benefits in lieu of a grant of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;
 
(c) all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs by the Company will be made in the sole discretion of the Company;
 
(d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;
 
(e) the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
 
(f) the future value of the RSU and RSU Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
 
(g) the RSU and RSU Shares are an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment or service contract, if any;
 
 
 
8

 
(h) the RSU and the RSU shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
 
(i) the RSU and the RSU Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, or any bonuses, long-service awards or pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or any similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
 
(j) the RSU and the Employee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
 
(k) in consideration of the grant of the RSU, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSU or diminution in value of the RSU or RSU Shares resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and
 
(l) in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to settlement of the RSU under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the RSU.
 
17.  
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to resolve any dispute or controversy arising under or in any way relating to this Agreement, may be brought in the state courts for the County of Washoe, State of Nevada, United States of America, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
 
18.  
Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers.
 
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto.  None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation.  A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.

19.  
Section 409A Compliance.
 
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes.  In particular:
 
(a) if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
 
(b) if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 4 hereof, then:
 
(i) upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the 120-month rolling average yield to maturity of the index called the “Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporates, A Rated, 15+ Years Index” (or any successor index, or if neither exists, the most similar index which does exist) as of December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the Settlement Delay Period commences, compounded annually; and
 
(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b).  Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee.  The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 19, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes.  The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 19.
 
 
10

 
 
20.  
Language.
 
If the Employee has received the Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by local law.
 
21.  
Electronic Delivery.
 
The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSU granted under and participation in the Plan or future RSUs that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
 
22.  
Severability.
 
Any provision of the Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of the Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
 
23.  
Appendix.
 
Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the RSU shall be subject to the special terms and provisions as set forth in the Appendix to the Agreement for the Employee’s country of residence, if any.  Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan.  The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
 
24.  
Imposition of Other Requirements.
 
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the RSU and on any RSU Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Company is authorized to grant awards to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 
WHEREAS, such awards may include restricted stock units with respect to shares of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”); and
 
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Director, and the Director desires to accept, a restricted stock unit upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, which terms and conditions have been approved by the Board;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Grant of RSU.  The Company hereby grants to the Director, and the Director hereby accepts, a restricted stock unit with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock indicated on the signature page hereto (the “RSU Shares”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “RSU”).
 
2.           Adjustment of RSU Shares.  If the outstanding securities of the class then subject to the RSU are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or a different number or kind of securities, or if cash, property and/or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, or if substantially all of the property and assets of the Company are sold, then, unless the terms of such transaction shall provide otherwise, the Administrator (as defined in the Plan) shall make appropriate and proportionate adjustments, as of the date of such transaction, in the number and type of shares or other securities or cash or other property that are thereafter subject to the RSU.
 
3.           Nontransferability of RSU.  Neither the RSU nor any interest therein may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 
4.           Plan.  The RSU is granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Director, without his or her consent, of the RSU or of any of the Director's rights under this Agreement.  The interpretation and construction by the Board of the Plan and this Agreement shall be final and binding upon the Director.
 
5.           Stockholder Rights.  No person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of any of the RSU Shares until the settlement of the RSU in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
 
 
 
 

 
6.           Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, on the one hand, and the Director and his or her heirs, beneficiaries, legatees and personal representatives, on the other hand.
 
7.           Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto.  None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation.  A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.
 
8.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such state.
 
9.           Settlement of RSU.
 
(a)           The RSU shall not be settled prior to the date upon which the Director ceases to be a director of the Company (the “Termination Date”).  If the Termination Date occurs on or after the date of the Company’s first Annual Meeting of Stockholders held after the Grant Date, then the Company shall settle the RSU by delivering the RSU Shares and the Dividend Equivalents (as hereinafter defined) to the Director (or after the Director’s death, to the beneficiary designated by the Director for such purpose), at such time or times as the Director shall have elected pursuant to the Director’s election with respect thereto made on or prior to the later of (i) December 31 of the year preceding the Grant Date or (ii) 30 days after the date upon which the Director first became a director of the Company.  If the Termination Date occurs prior to the date of the Company’s first Annual Meeting of Stockholders held after the Grant Date, then the RSU shall terminate, unsettled, on the Termination Date.
 
 
(b)           For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Dividend Equivalents” shall mean, with respect to each RSU Share being delivered by the Company upon settlement of the RSU, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of all regular cash dividends paid on a share of Common Stock during the period between the Grant Date and the date of such settlement, together with interest thereon at the rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, as such rate is changed from time to time.
 

 
 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the Grant Date indicated below.
