Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

There are no provisions in the Amended Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) by which an officer or director may be indemnified against any liability which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such. However, the Company has indemnification provisions in its Regulations which provide that the Company will, to the full extent permitted by Ohio law, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify under such law.

 

Reference is made to Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code, which provides for indemnification of directors and officers in certain circumstances.

 

The Company provides liability insurance for its directors and officers for certain losses arising from certain claims and charges, including claims and charges under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be made against such persons while acting in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company.

 

The above discussion of the Articles, Regulations and Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by the Articles, Regulations and such statute.

 

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 8. Exhibits.

 

The Exhibits filed as part of this Registration Statement are described in the Exhibit Index included in this filing.

 

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the securities registered hereunder are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

II-2


  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that the undertakings in clauses (i) - (ii) hereof will not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

 

  (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 512(h) of Regulation S-K, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

  Re:   Convergys Corporation: Form S-8 Registration Statement

  Convergys Corporation Retirement and Savings Plan

 

Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel for Convergys Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), which is named as the Registrant in a Registration Statement on Form S-8 that is being filed on or about December 16, 2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), 3,000,000 common shares, without par value (the “Common Shares”), of the Company, which shares are to be issued pursuant to the Convergys Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”).

 

As counsel for the Company, we have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement. In addition, we are generally familiar with the records and proceedings of the Company. Furthermore, we have examined and relied on the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of corporate records or documents of the Company and such representations of officers of the Company as we have deemed appropriate.

 

With respect to the Common Shares registered pursuant to such Registration Statement as filed and as it may be amended, it is our opinion that the Common Shares, when issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

Very truly yours,
