INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
 
General
 
        Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC” or the “Company”) is one of the world leaders in the information technology (“I/T”) services industry. Since it was founded in 1959, the Company has helped clients use I/T more efficiently in order to improve their operations and profitability and to achieve business results.
 
        CSC offers a broad array of professional services to clients in the global commercial and government markets and specializes in the application of advanced and complex I/T to achieve its customers’ strategic objectives. Its service offerings include outsourcing, systems integration, and management consulting/professional services, including e-business solutions.
 
        Outsourcing involves operating all or a portion of a customer’s technology infrastructure, including systems analysis, applications development, network operations, desktop computing and data center management. CSC also provides business process outsourcing, which is the management of a client’s non-core business functions, such as claims processing, credit checking, or customer call centers.
 
        Systems integration encompasses designing, developing, implementing and integrating complete information systems.
 
        Management consulting/professional services include advising clients on the strategic acquisition and utilization of I/T and on business strategy, security, modeling, simulation, engineering, operations, change management and business process reengineering. During fiscal 2001, approximately 65% of the Company’s activities in management consulting/professional services were delivered by its U.S. federal sector.
 
        The Company also licenses sophisticated software systems for select vertical markets and provides a broad array of end-to-end e-business solutions that meet the needs of large commercial and government clients. The Company focuses on delivering business results by linking business innovation skills with seasoned delivery expertise to provide flexible and scalable solutions. To do so, CSC draws on its vast experience in designing, building and maintaining large, complex, mission-critical systems and applies this knowledge to today’s business challenges.
 
        In addition, CSC does not have exclusive agreements with hardware or software providers and believes that this “vendor neutrality” enables it to better identify and manage solutions specifically tailored to each client’s needs.
 
Major Markets
 
        CSC provides its services to clients in global commercial industries and to the U.S. federal government.
 
        Since starting with a small contract to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1961, CSC has provided I/T services to the U.S. federal government. In fiscal 1986, when U.S. federal contracts represented 70% of the Company’s revenues, CSC decided to devote substantial resources to further develop global commercial business in order to accelerate its growth and take advantage of the competencies gained as a leader in the federal sector. Because of this strategy, CSC has increased its penetration of the global commercial market and has diversified its business.
 
        In the global commercial area, the Company’s service offerings are marketed to clients in a wide array of industries including aerospace/defense; automotive; chemical and energy; consumer goods; financial services; healthcare; manufacturing; media; public sector; retail/distribution; telecommunications; traffic and transportation; travel and hospitality; and utilities.
 
        Geographically, CSC has major operations throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
 
        During the last three fiscal years, the Company’s revenue mix by major markets was as follows:
 
       2001
     2000
     1999
          U.S. Commercial      39 %      39 %      40 %
          Europe      25        27        28  
          Other International      11        10        6

Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Overview
 
        During fiscal 2001, CSC announced awards valued at approximately $10.9 billion. Continuing with its strategy of growth through acquisitions, CSC also acquired additional I/T service providers during fiscal 2001, with two strategic acquisitions being the Mynd Corporation (“Mynd”) and InfoSer SpA (“InfoSer”).
 
Global Commercial Market—Highlights
 
        Within the global commercial market, there were several significant awards to CSC.
 
        One of the largest commercial awards during fiscal 2001 was the agreement with Nortel Networks, valued at $3 billion over 7 years, to outsource certain global I/T functions. CSC will deliver global desktop and helpline support, computer infrastructure management, legacy application development, and support data center management. The value of the original award was increased by a $339 million amendment to add support for additional desktops and servers.
 
        The Company strengthened and expanded its relationship with BAE SYSTEMS through a global $1.2 billion, 6 year outsourcing arrangement, adding scope and duration to an existing contract. CSC will now manage the I/T infrastructure in the U.S. and the United Kingdom for BAE SYSTEMS, which was formed last year from the merger of British Aerospace and Marconi Electronic Systems. CSC will manage the full range of I/T operations on a transatlantic basis, from mainframe and midrange computers, servers and desktops, to wide and local area networking, internet services, help-desk, and applications support.
 
        For AT&T’s Consumer Services organization, CSC signed a $1 billion, 7 year outsourcing agreement to manage the application development and maintenance work for various software applications addressing billing, credit and collections, ordering, provisioning and customer care.
 
        The Company increased its operations in Australia by an agreement with The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (“BHP”) to acquire the assets of its I/T subsidiary and provide a full range of information technology services, including consulting, systems integration and outsourcing, to BHP under a 7 year contract valued at $470 million. In addition to providing services to BHP, a global natural resources company, the acquired company provides a full range of I/T services to the commercial and industrial markets in Australia.
 
        Building on an existing relationship with AMP Limited (“AMP”) in Australia, CSC entered a separate 5 year I/T outsourcing agreement valued at $290 million for AMP’s United Kingdom operations. Under the agreement, CSC will manage mainframe and midrange services, voice and data networks, service help desks, desktops, servers and high volume printing.
 
        Adding to the Company’s relationship with E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”), CSC was awarded a 7 year contract with an expected value of $280 million to provide end-to-end I/T services to DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont. The agreement covers U.S. locations and includes networks, messaging and groupware, midrange, mainframe, help desk, distributed systems, and engineering.
 
        The acquisition of Mynd strengthened CSC’s commitment to the global financial services industry. Combining the strengths of Mynd with CSC’s global financial services industry vertical offering presents CSC with the opportunity to provide expanded I/T solutions more cost effectively. Mynd’s portfolio of insurance-related products and service offerings, combined with CSC’s existing products and capabilities, provides significant opportunities to leverage CSC’s specialized industry and outsourcing expertise and complements the Company’s ability to deliver end-to-end solutions for insurers and other firms in the converging financial services industries around the world. CSC’s financial services industry offerings address approximately 1,200 clients in more than 60 countries.
 
        Adding to CSC’s growing presence in the Italian market, CSC acquired InfoSer of Milan, Italy. InfoSer specializes in providing systems integration, implementation and maintenance services, application consulting and software products to the Italian banking market. With the addition of InfoSer, CSC augments existing expertise in Italy in the insurance, telecommunications, public sector, and fashion markets.
 
U.S. Federal Government Market—Highlights
 
        The Company provides a broad array of services to the U.S. federal government, ranging from traditional systems integration and outsourcing to advanced technical undertakings and complex project management. CSC has extensive experience in the development of software for mission-critical systems for defense and civil agency applications, and also provides systems engineering and technical assistance in network management, satellite communications, intelligence, aerospace, logistics, and related high-technology fields.
 
        There were several significant awards to CSC during fiscal 2001 from within the U.S. federal government.
 
        CSC was selected as one of twelve prime contractors to participate in the $2.5 billion U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) OMNIBUS 2000 Support Services program. The program’s three major functional areas—technical, logistics and programmatics—will be supported by separate multi-award, task-order contracts. CSC, supported by fiscal 2000’s merger with Nichols Research Corporation, was selected as a prime contractor for the technical contract. CSC was also awarded two subcontracts, including one for the logistics area and a second for the programmatics area. The Company will provide a wide range of services, including modeling and simulation, systems engineering and integration, guidance and control, software support, logistics and management expertise.
 
        Reinforcing CSC’s long-standing commitment to serving the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the Company was awarded a contract to provide enroute software development support. The contract is valued at $329 million if all options are exercised during the 5 year period. CSC will provide engineering and analysis, open system conversion and rehost, software development, deployment and maintenance, and network system design, as well as a full range of system integration services.
 
        CSC was one of three companies awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center and will provide an array of services, including developmental engineering, systems engineering, systems integration, modeling, simulation and analysis, and acquisition security. The total value of the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to all three firms is $495 million if all options are exercised over a 5 year period.
 
        The General Services Administration’s Federal Systems Integration and Management Center awarded CSC a 10 year, task-order contract with a potential value of $183.7 million to provide I/T support to the Headquarters, United States European Command. The Company will provide technical support in areas of program management, systems engineering, systems administration, systems security, configuration management, training, maintenance and procurement.
 
        CSC was also among a group of contractors selected to support the Defense Information Systems Agency (“DISA”) by providing a full range of information technology solutions and professional services at DISA, Department of Defense and federal government locations worldwide. The total value of the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity award to all contractors is $1.5 billion if all options are exercised over a 5 year period of performance. CSC will provide information assurance services ranging from policy development to full field installation and operations in support of DISA’s information assurance initiatives. Professional services include policy and planning; process and program management support; standards, architecture, engineering and integration support; solution fielding; installation/operations support; education, training and awareness; and certification and accreditation.
 
        The Company also won a contract to provide onsite technical support services to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. The contract is valued at $190.5 million if all options are exercised over a 5 year period. The Volpe Center, an internationally recognized center of transportation and logistics expertise, serves as a catalyst in achieving technical, operational and management advances in transportation. CSC will provide services such as detailed technology assessments; requirements analysis; concept development; architecture design and alternatives analysis; software development, testing and integration; system training and maintenance; and system operational support for both transportation and logistics management information systems.
 
COMPETITION
 
        The I/T market in which CSC competes is not dominated by a single company or a small number of companies. A substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with those offered by CSC. Some of these are large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and major aerospace/defense firms that have greater financial resources than CSC and, in some cases, may have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by CSC.
 
        The Company’s ability to obtain business is dependent upon its ability to offer better strategic concepts and technical solutions, better value, a quicker response, or a combination of these factors. In the opinion of the Company’s management, CSC is positioned to compete effectively in the global commercial and U.S. federal government markets based on its technology and systems expertise and large project management skills. It is also management’s opinion that CSC’s competitive position is enhanced by its recognized position as a leader in management consulting and the full spectrum of services that it provides.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
        The Company has offices worldwide, and as of March 30, 2001 employed approximately 68,000 persons. The services provided by CSC require proficiency in many fields, such as computer sciences, programming, mathematics, physics, engineering, astronomy, geology, operations, research, economics, statistics and business administration.

Notes:
 
        A discussion of “Income Before Taxes” and “Net Income and Earnings per Share” before and after special items is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”). A discussion of “Special Items” for fiscal years ended 2001 and 2000 is also included in MD&A. The fiscal 1998 special items consist of (a) a net special credit of $1.7 (1 cent per share after tax) of costs, expenses and benefits associated with developments at CSC Enterprises that generated a pre-tax charge of $208.4 ($133.3 after tax) and a tax benefit of $135.0; (b) pre-tax charge of $20.7 (8 cents per share after tax) related to CSC’s response to a failed take-over attempt and (c) merger-related charges of $4.1 (2 cents per share after tax) associated with several acquisitions made by Nichols Research Corporation, which was subsequently acquired by CSC and accounted for as a pooling of interests. The fiscal 1997 special item of $57.4 (24 cents per share after tax) relates to costs and expenses associated with the acquisition of the Continuum Company, Inc. (“Continuum”) and to a write-off of acquired research and development related to an acquisition by a company subsequently acquired by CSC and accounted for as a pooling of interests.
 
        The selected financial data has been restated for fiscal 1997 through 1999 to include the results of business combinations accounted for as poolings of interests.
 
        No dividends were paid by CSC during the five years presented.

        The Company’s 12% overall revenue growth for fiscal 2001 over 2000 resulted principally from the successful expansion of its broad range of end-to-end I/T services across its geographic span and its global commercial and U.S. federal segments.
 
        Global commercial revenue grew 12%, or $868.0 million, during fiscal 2001. In constant currency, global commercial revenue grew approximately 18%. The Company announced over $8.2 billion in new global commercial business awards during fiscal 2001 compared with the $6.9 billion announced during fiscal 2000 and $2.2 billion announced during fiscal 1999.
 
        For fiscal 2001, U.S. commercial revenue grew 13%, or $487.6 million. This growth was principally generated by a significant increase in outsourcing revenue, fueled by major new contracts including AT&T and Nortel Networks, as well as increased revenue due to the Mynd Corporation (“Mynd”) acquisition. Increased revenues in these areas were offset by a decline in consulting and systems integration revenue due to the deterioration in demand for these services. For fiscal 2000, U.S. commercial revenue grew 14%, or $434.8 million. Almost two-thirds of the growth was generated by increases in outsourcing activities. Fiscal 2000 outsourcing revenue growth was fueled by major new contracts including United Technologies Corporation and Enron Energy Services. The remainder of the U.S. commercial growth was provided principally by consulting and systems integration services and increases from the Company’s financial services and healthcare vertical markets.
 
        The Company’s European operations generated growth of 3%, or $67 million. In constant currency, European revenue growth was approximately 14%. The growth was mainly attributable to outsourcing engagements, particularly in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. European revenue growth also was affected by a decline in consulting and systems integration revenue. For fiscal 2000 compared to 1999, the Company’s European operations generated revenue growth of 12%, or $275.9 million. The growth was principally due to (a) expansion of outsourcing services provided in the United Kingdom, (b) the acquisition of two major Italian providers of information technology services and a partial year’s benefit associated with the fiscal 1999 acquisition of Paris-based KPMG Peat Marwick SA, a management consulting and information technology services firm, and (c) increased demand in Germany for consulting and systems integration activities and enterprise resource planning services.
 
        Other international operations provided revenue growth of 35%, or $313.4 million, during fiscal 2001. This was primarily attributable to the outsourcing agreement with BHP and acquisition of its I/T subsidiary and benefit associated with the fiscal 2000 acquisition of GE Capital Information Technology Solutions (“ITS”) in Australia. During fiscal 2000, other international operations increased 81%, or $403.4 million. The growth was primarily attributable to the partial year’s benefit associated with the acquisition of ITS, expansion of other business in Australia, and a partial year’s benefit associated with the fiscal 1999 acquisition of Singapore-based CSA Holdings, Ltd. (“CSA”).

        Revenue from the U.S. federal sector increased 13% during fiscal 2001 versus 2000. The increase was principally related to activity with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) contract, the Army Logistics Modernization effort, other task order contracts and add-on business from existing awards. Revenue for fiscal 2000 compared to 1999 increased 7%. The increase was principally related to activity with the IRS contract, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) Stennis Facilities Operations contract, and additional task orders on various Civil agency and Department of Defense (“DOD”) contracts.
 
        During fiscal 2001, CSC announced federal contract awards with a total value of $2.7 billion, compared with the $4.4 billion and $2.9 billion announced during fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Costs of Services
 
        For fiscal 2001, the Company’s costs of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 80.0% from 78.5%. The change was driven principally by the deteriorating demand in the fourth quarter for global commercial consulting and systems integration services adversely impacting billing rates and utilization, particularly in North America and Europe. Higher labor costs experienced throughout the year within the U.S. and Australian consulting operations due principally to the above factors and severance costs for reductions in force also contributed to the increased cost of services. In addition, some profitability pressure on two recent outsourcing contracts, adjustments on a few fixed-price projects and an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts due to increased credit risk associated with certain receivables negatively affected the cost of services ratio. For fiscal 2000, the Company’s costs of services as a percentage of revenue increased slightly versus 1999 from 78.3% to 78.5%.
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
        Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7.6% from 8.3% for fiscal 2001 versus 2000. The decrease was due to management’s tight focus regarding discretionary costs due to the increased costs of services noted above. In addition, this focus has enabled growth in revenue without a proportionate increase in SG&A expense.
 
        For fiscal 2000, SG&A as a percentage of revenue decreased to 8.3% from 9.1%. The decrease was due to a number of performance improvements and management’s cost controls owing to the uncertainty of the marketplace in large part caused by the transition to the year 2000.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
        The increase in depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2001 was principally due to the capital intensive nature of the Company’s growing outsourcing business. As a result of this growth and increased amortization from recent acquisitions, depreciation and amortization expense is likely to increase as a percentage of revenue during fiscal 2002.
 
Interest Expense
 
        For fiscal 2001, the Company’s net interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to .8%. The increase relates primarily to the increase in debt incurred to fund the Mynd acquisition, the capital investment to purchase assets due to the increased outsourcing activities, and increased working capital needs.
 
Special Items
 
        Special items of $232.9 million ($156.0 million after tax) were recorded during fiscal 2001, as detailed below.
 
        In response to a changing mix of information technology services, business conditions and overall demand for consulting and systems integration services, the Company reviewed its global operations. As a result of this review, a special item of $137.5 million ($91.3 million after tax) or 54 cents per share (diluted) was recorded during the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2001. Included in the charge are employee severance costs of $68.9 million, write-offs in connection with consolidation of facilities of $25.6 million, write-off of capitalized software and computer-related assets of $22.1 million and $20.9 million related to phased-out operations and other assets. The involuntary termination benefits accrued and expensed of $68.9 million related to 1,720 employees, of which 831 were U.S. employees and 889 were international employees; as of March 30, 2001, approximately $5.3 million had been paid and 511 of the 1,720 employees had been involuntarily terminated. The Company expects to pay substantially all of the remaining cash payments during fiscal 2002.
 
        In connection with the December 2000 acquisition of Mynd, the Company reviewed its global commercial financial services operations, product strategies and the carrying value of its assets. As a result, special items were recorded in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001. During the third quarter ended December 29, 2000, special items of $84.2 million ($57.3 million after tax) or 34 cents per share (diluted) were recorded and included $58.2 million related to non-cash adjustments to the carrying value of capitalized software and the write-off of other assets and intangibles and $9.4 million related to a legal settlement and write-off of assets from operations previously sold or phased-out. The third quarter charge also included $16.6 million accrued for employee severance costs. In the fourth quarter, the amount for employee severance costs was adjusted to $14.5 million. The employee severance costs related to 628 global commercial financial services employees; as of March 30, 2001, approximately $13.7 million had been paid and 613 of the 628 employees had been involuntarily terminated. Upon completion of the integration of Mynd during the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2001, the Company recorded an additional special item of $11.2 million ($7.4 million after tax) or 4 cents per share (diluted) for the write-off of capitalized software and a provision for consolidation of facilities. The $11.2 million was the net special item after the severance adjustment described above.
 
        Special items of $41.1 million ($29.8 million after tax), or 18 cents per share (diluted), were recorded during fiscal 2000. The Company recorded a special item of $39.1 million ($28.5 million after tax) representing merger-related charges and other transaction costs associated with the November 16, 1999 acquisition of Nichols Research Corporation. Also during fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a special item of $2.0 million ($1.3 million after tax) for legal and other costs, net of recoveries, associated with the final resolution of the remaining issues relating to the Company’s fiscal 1998 response to a failed take-over attempt.
 
        There were no special items during fiscal 1999.
 
Income Before Taxes
 
        The Company’s income before taxes and margin for the most recent three fiscal years are as follows:
 
       Dollar Amount
     Margin
Dollars in millions
     2001
     2000

Income before taxes      330.3      611.5      534.9      3.1        6.5        6.6  
 
        Income before special items and taxes decreased during fiscal 2001 as a percentage of revenue. The 1.6 percentage point decrease to 5.4% relates to higher cost of services, higher depreciation and amortization and higher interest expense as detailed above.
 
        During fiscal 2000, income before taxes increased as a percentage of revenue. The .4 percentage point margin improvement to 7% principally relates to lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the Company’s U.S. federal sector and U.S. commercial operations.
 
Taxes
 
        The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax earnings was 29.4%, 34.1% and 33.5% for the three years ended March 30, 2001. The tax rates used for the special items were 33.0% and 27.3% for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. Before special items, the tax rate was 30.9% and 33.7% for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in the fiscal 2001 tax rate from 33.7% to 30.9% is principally the result of favorable permanent tax benefits which relate to the amortization of assets with a higher tax basis than book basis.
 
Net Income and Earnings per Share
 
        The Company’s net income and diluted earnings per share for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

          Before special items      2.28      2.55      2.12
          As reported      1.37      2.37      2.12
 
        During fiscal 2001, the Company’s net income margin decreased from 4.3% to 2.2%. The decrease is principally related to the special items incurred during fiscal 2001, which reduced net income by $156.0 million or 1.5% of revenue. For fiscal 2000, the Company’s net income margin decreased to 4.3% from 4.4%. The decrease is related to the special items incurred during fiscal 2000, which reduced net income by $29.8 million or .3% of revenue.
 
        Before special items, the net earnings margin was 3.7% for fiscal 2001, 4.6% for fiscal 2000 and 4.4% for fiscal 1999. The decline for fiscal 2001 was attributable to higher costs of services, depreciation and amortization and interest expense as detailed above.

        Historically, the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents has been provided from operating activities. During fiscal 2001, net cash provided by financing activities exceeded net cash from operations principally as a result of additional borrowings associated with the acquisition of Mynd and the ramp up of recent outsourcing awards. The decrease in cash from operations during fiscal 2001 is mainly the result of lower earnings and increased working capital requirements partially offset by higher non-cash charges (depreciation and amortization and special items). The increase in cash from operations during fiscal 2000 was principally the result of higher earnings and non-cash charges (depreciation and amortization) partially offset by increased working capital requirements.
 
        The Company’s investments principally relate to purchases of computer equipment and software that support the Company’s expanding global commercial operations. Investments include computer equipment purchased at the inception of outsourcing contracts as well as subsequent upgrades, expansion or replacement of these client-supporting assets. The Company’s investments also include several acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting during fiscal 1999 through 2001, most notably the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Mynd.
 
        As described above, historically a majority of the Company’s capital investments have been funded by cash from operations. In connection with the Mynd acquisition, the Company borrowed $800 million of commercial paper during fiscal 2001. Also, during fiscal 2001, the Company issued $500 million of 7.50% notes due in 2005 and used the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
        The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $184.7 million at March 30, 2001, $260.4 million at March 31, 2000 and $617.9 million at April 2, 1999. During this period, the Company’s earnings have added to equity. At the end of fiscal 2001, CSC’s ratio of debt to total capitalization was 42.6%.

        During fiscal 2001, the Company increased its two credit facilities of $250 million each to $321 million each (one short-term and one long-term). At the end of fiscal 2001, approximately $185 million was available for borrowing under this program compared to $84 million at the end of fiscal 2000. In addition, the Company had uncommitted lines of credit of $228 million available with certain foreign banks. During fiscal 2001, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for up to $1 billion of debt and/or equity securities. During June 2001, the Company issued $500 million of 6.75% notes due June 2006 and $500 million of 7.375% notes due June 2011. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding commercial paper.
 
        In the opinion of management, CSC will be able to meet its liquidity and cash needs for the foreseeable future through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, cash balances, unused borrowing capacity and other financing activities. If these resources need to be augmented, major additional cash requirements would likely be financed by the issuance of debt and/or equity securities and/or the exercise of the put option (as described in Note 12 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements).
 
Dividends and Redemption
 
        It has been the Company’s policy to invest earnings in the growth of the Company rather than distribute earnings as dividends. This policy, under which dividends have not been paid since fiscal 1969, is expected to continue, but is subject to regular review by the Board of Directors.
 
Euro Introduction
 
        On January 1, 1999 the euro currency was introduced in 11 of the 15 member countries in the European Union. Although euro notes and coins will not be available until the latter part of the transition period in 2002, the euro is traded on the currency exchanges and is available for non-cash transactions.
 
        The Company established a European steering group during 1997 to determine the Company’s approach to the euro and to develop plans to ensure that customer expectations and statutory requirements are met. The Company was ready by January 1, 1999 to deal with any customer or supplier who wished to transact in euros, and all European intercompany transactions since January 1, 1999 have been invoiced and settled in euros in the participating countries. The Company’s European operations have completed the development of the infrastructure that provides all the internal systems functionality required to deal with the euro during the transition period and thereafter. The transition period lasts until July 2002, when the national currencies will no longer be legal tender. The incremental system cost to CSC of introducing the euro will not be material.
 
        As of March 30, 2001, the transition to the euro has not resulted in any material adverse impact on CSC’s financial position or results of operations. Furthermore, CSC will continue to review the impact of the euro conversion during the remaining transition period, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its overall financial position or results of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As amended, this statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting standards for hedging activities. The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of its fiscal year 2002. Adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
        In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The Company has reviewed SAB No. 101 and found that its revenue recognition practices were consistent with the SAB and as a result the implementation had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
        All statements contained in this annual report, or in any document filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in any press release or other written or oral communication by or on behalf of the Company, that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements represent the Company’s expectations and beliefs, and no assurance can be given that the results described in such statements will be achieved.
 
        These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in such statements. These factors include, without limitation, the following: (i) competitive pressures; (ii) the Company’s ability to consummate strategic acquisitions and form alliances; (iii) the Company’s ability to attract and retain key personnel; (iv) changes in the demand for information technology outsourcing and business process outsourcing; (v) changes in U.S. federal government spending levels for information technology services; (vi) the Company’s ability to continue to develop and expand its service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends; (vii) changes in the financial condition of the Company’s commercial customers; (viii) the future profitability of the Company’s customer contracts, and (ix) general economic conditions and fluctuations in currency exchange rates in countries in which we do business.
 
Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Interest Rates
 
        The Company has fixed-rate long-term debt obligations, short-term commercial paper and other borrowings subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Sensitivity analysis is one technique used to measure the impact of changes in interest rates on the value of market-risk sensitive financial instruments. A hypothetical 10% movement in interest rates would not have a material impact on the Company’s future earnings or cash flows.
 
Foreign Currency
 
        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 ensuring costs to service contracts are incurred in the same currency in which revenue is received. Short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing in the same currency. By matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same currency, the Company has been able to substantially mitigate foreign currency risk to earnings. If necessary, the Company may also use foreign currency forward contracts or options to hedge exposures arising from these transactions. The Company does not foresee changing its foreign currency exposure management strategy.
 
        During fiscal 2001, 36% of the Company’s revenue was generated outside of the United States. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease revenue by 3.6% or $381 million, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenue by 3.6% or $381 million. In the opinion of management, a substantial portion of this fluctuation would be offset by expenses incurred in local currency. As a result, a hypothetical 10% movement of the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies in either direction would impact the Company’s earnings before interest and taxes by $13 million. This amount would be offset, in part, from the impacts of local income taxes and local currency interest expense.
 
        At March 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $108 million of non-U.S. dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $148 million of non-U.S. dollar borrowings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Computer Sciences Corporation
El Segundo, California
 
        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Computer Sciences Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 30, 2001 and March 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 30, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 8. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
        In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Computer Sciences Corporation and Subsidiaries as of March 30, 2001 and March 31, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Computer Sciences Corporation, its subsidiaries and those joint ventures and partnerships over which it exercises control, hereafter collectively referred to as “CSC” or the “Company.” All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Income Recognition
 
        The Company provides services under time and materials, level of effort, cost-based and fixed-price contracts. For time and materials and level of effort types of contracts, income is recorded as the costs are incurred, income being the difference between such costs and the agreed-upon billing amounts. For cost-based contracts, income is recorded by applying an estimated factor to costs as incurred, such factor being determined by the contract provisions and prior experience. For fixed-price contracts, income is recorded on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of services rendered. Losses, if any, on long-term contracts are recognized during the period in which the loss is determined.
 
        Revenues from certain information processing services are recorded at the time the service is utilized by the customer. Revenues from sales of proprietary software are recognized upon receipt of a signed contract documenting customer commitment, delivery of the software and determination of the fee amount and its probable collection. However, if significant customization is part of the transaction, such revenues are recognized over the period of delivery.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
        The Company’s depreciation and amortization policies are as follows:
 
Property and Equipment:
          Buildings      10 to 40 years
          Computers and related equipment      3 to 10 years
          Furniture and other equipment      2 to 10 years
          Leasehold improvements      Shorter of lease term or useful life
Investments and Other Assets:
          Software      2 to 10 years
          Credit information files      10 to 20 years
          Employee workforce acquired from Mynd      7 years
          Excess of cost of businesses acquired over related
               net assets
     Up to 40 years
          Outsourcing contract costs      Contract life
 
        For financial reporting purposes, computer equipment is depreciated using either the straight-line or sum-of-the-years’-digits method, depending on the nature of the equipment’s use. The cost of other property and equipment, less applicable residual values, is depreciated on the straight-line method. Depreciation commences when the specific asset is complete, installed and ready for normal use. Investments and other assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the years indicated above.
 
        Included in software are unamortized capitalized software development costs of $217.7 and $168.7 as of March 30, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The related amortization expense was $37.6, $34.3 and $22.4 for the three fiscal years ended March 30, 2001.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
        The Company evaluates at least annually the recoverability of its excess cost of businesses acquired over related net assets. In assessing recoverability, the current and future profitability of the related operations are considered, along with management’s plans with respect to the operations and the projected undiscounted cash flows.
 
Cash Flows
 
        Cash payments for interest on indebtedness and cash payments (refunds) for taxes on income are as follows:
 
       Fiscal Year
       2001
     2000
     1999
Interest      $101.7      $59.4      $46.2  
Taxes on income      35.3      97.6      (20.5 )
 
        For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, the Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s investments consist of high quality securities issued by a number of institutions having high credit ratings, thereby limiting the Company’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk. With respect to financial instruments, the Company’s carrying amounts of its other current assets and liabilities were deemed to approximate their market values due to their short maturity. The Company has no material hedge contracts with respect to its foreign exchange or interest rate positions.
 
Use of Estimates
 
        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions, in particular estimates of anticipated contract costs utilized in the revenue recognition process, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Earnings per Share
 
        Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options.
 
        Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:
 
       Fiscal Year
       2001
     2000
     1999
Net income for basic and diluted EPS      $233.2      $402.9      $355.5
     
  
  
Common share information (in millions)               
          Average common shares outstanding for basic EPS      168.3      166.3      164.1
          Dilutive effect of stock options      2.5      3.4      3.9
     
  
  
          Shares for diluted EPS      170.8      169.7      168.0
     
  
  
Basic EPS      $  1.39      $  2.42      $  2.17
Diluted EPS      1.37      2.37      2.12
 
        The computation of diluted EPS did not include stock options which were antidilutive, as their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the year. The number of such options was 2,607,464, 135,797 and 88,451 for the years ended March 30, 2001, March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As amended, this statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting standards for hedging activities. The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of its fiscal year 2002. Adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
        In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The Company has reviewed SAB No. 101 and found that its revenue recognition practices were consistent with the SAB and as a result the implementation had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Reclassifications
 
        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.
 
Note 2—Acquisitions
 
        During December 2000, CSC completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity securities of Mynd Corporation (“Mynd”), formerly known as Policy Management Systems Corporation, for a purchase price of $572.7. In addition, CSC assumed $243 of outstanding Mynd debt. Mynd is a provider of systems, services and business solutions to the global insurance and related financial services industries. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, Mynd’s results of operations have been included with the Company’s from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information is not provided, as the impact of the transaction did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for fiscal 2001.
 
        The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the net assets acquired based on estimates of their fair values at the date of the acquisition and are subject to future adjustments. In addition, the Company obtained an independent appraisal of the fair values for certain tangible and intangible assets. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets, identified intangible assets and liabilities acquired was allocated to goodwill.
 
        A summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition is as follows:
 
       Estimated
Fair Values

Assets acquired      $405.0  
Liabilities assumed      (536.8 )
Goodwill      704.5  
     
  
Purchase price      572.7  
          Less cash acquired      31.9  
     
  
Net cash paid      $540.8  
     
  
 
        As a result of the acquisition of Mynd, the Company incurred costs to exit and consolidate activities, involuntarily terminate employees, and other costs to integrate Mynd into the Company. Generally accepted Note 2—Acquisitions (continued)
 
accounting principles require that these costs, which are not associated with the generation of future revenues and have no future economic benefit, be reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired. The involuntary termination related to 518 Mynd employees, of which 306 were U.S. employees and 212 were international employees; as of March 30, 2001, 453 of the 518 employees had been involuntarily terminated. The components of the acquisition integration liabilities included in the purchase price allocation for Mynd are as follows:
 
       Acquisition
Integration
Liabilities

     Paid as of
March 30, 2001

     Balance
Remaining at
March 30, 2001

Severance payments      $  77.6      $30.4      $  47.2
Facility & data center consolidations      69.4      4.1      65.3
Other      29.2      22.2      7.0
     
  
  
          $176.2      $56.7      $119.5
     
  
  
 
        CSC acquired Nichols Research Corporation (“Nichols”) on November 16, 1999. Upon consummation of the merger, Nichols became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each outstanding share of Nichols common stock was converted into .423 shares of common stock of the Company and each outstanding option to purchase shares of common stock was converted into an option to purchase .423 shares of CSC common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling of interests method, and previously reported consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods ended prior to November 16, 1999 have been restated.
 
Other Acquisitions
 
        During the three fiscal years ended March 30, 2001, the Company made a number of acquisitions in addition to the ones described above, which, either individually or collectively, are not material. In conjunction with business combinations accounted for as purchases, the Company acquired assets with an estimated fair value of $94.8, $146.0 and $239.0; and assumed liabilities of $76.4, $89.0 and $195.0 for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The excess of cost of businesses acquired over related net assets was $136.2, $262.0 and $175.0 for the three fiscal years ended 2001.
 
Note 3—Special Items
 
        Special items of $232.9 ($156.0 after tax) were recorded during fiscal 2001, as detailed below.
 
        In response to a changing mix of information technology services, business conditions and overall demand for consulting and systems integration services, the Company reviewed its global operations. As a result of this review, a special item of $137.5 ($91.3 after tax) or 54 cents per share (diluted) was recorded during the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2001. Included in the charge are employee severance costs of $68.9, write-offs in connection with consolidation of facilities of $25.6, write-off of capitalized software and computer-related assets of $22.1 and $20.9 related to phased-out operations and other assets. The involuntary termination benefits accrued and expensed of $68.9 related to 1,720 employees, of which 831 were U.S. employees and 889 were international employees; as of March 30, 2001, approximately $5.3 had been paid and 511 of the 1,720 employees had been involuntarily terminated. The Company expects to pay substantially all of the remaining cash payments during fiscal 2002.
 
        In connection with the December 2000 acquisition of Mynd, the Company reviewed its global commercial financial services operations, product strategies and the carrying value of its assets. As a result, special items Note 3—Special Items (continued)
 
were recorded in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001. During the third quarter ended December 29, 2000, special items of $84.2 ($57.3 after tax) or 34 cents per share (diluted) were recorded and included $58.2 related to non-cash adjustments to the carrying value of capitalized software and the write-off of other assets and intangibles and $9.4 related to a legal settlement and write-off of assets from operations previously sold or phased-out. The third quarter charge also included $16.6 accrued for employee severance costs. In the fourth quarter, the amount for employee severance costs was adjusted to $14.5. The employee severance costs related to 628 global commercial financial services employees; as of March 30, 2001, approximately $13.7 had been paid and 613 of the 628 employees had been involuntarily terminated. Upon completion of the integration of Mynd during the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2001, the Company recorded an additional special item of $11.2 ($7.4 after tax) or 4 cents per share (diluted) for the write-off of capitalized software and a provision for consolidation of facilities. The $11.2 was the net special item after the severance adjustment described above.
 
        Special items of $41.1 ($29.8 after tax), or 18 cents per share (diluted), were recorded during fiscal 2000. The Company recorded a special item of $39.1 ($28.5 after tax) representing merger-related charges and other transaction costs associated with the November 16, 1999 acquisition of Nichols Research Corporation. Also during fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a special item of $2.0 ($1.3 after tax) for legal and other costs, net of recoveries, associated with the final resolution of the remaining issues relating to the Company’s fiscal 1998 response to a failed take-over attempt.
 
        There were no special items during fiscal 1999.

Note 6—Debt
 
Short-term
 
        At March 30, 2001, the Company had uncommitted short-term lines of credit of $360.5 with certain foreign banks. As of March 30, 2001, the Company had $132.5 of borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit. These short-term lines of credit carry no commitment fees or significant covenants. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under these short-term lines of credit was 5.3% at March 30, 2001 and 4.9% at March 31, 2000.
 
        At March 30, 2001, the Company had $1,384.2 of commercial paper outstanding, of which $1,063.2 was classified as short-term debt and $321.0 was classified as long-term debt.

        The Company’s commercial paper is backed by two $321.0 committed credit facilities which expire on August 17, 2001 and August 18, 2005. The classification of the Company’s outstanding commercial paper is determined by the expiration dates of these credit facilities. The Company intends to renew the short-term credit facility prior to expiration.

Note 6—Debt (continued)
 
        Capitalized lease liabilities shown above represent amounts due under leases for the use of computers and related equipment. Included in property and equipment are related assets of $12.0 (2001) and $13.5 (2000), less accumulated amortization of $9.0 and $7.8, respectively.
 
        Certain of the Company’s borrowing arrangements contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and that limit the amount of dividend payments. Under the most restrictive requirement, approximately $301.4 of retained earnings was available for cash dividends at March 30, 2001.
 
        The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is $1,188.3 at March 30, 2001, as shown above. The corresponding fair value is approximately $1,187.5 using the current interest rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.
 
        Maturities of long-term debt by fiscal year are $158.9 (2002), $3.8 (2003), $2.6 (2004), $0.6 (2005), $821.4 (2006) and $201.0 thereafter.
 
Note 7—Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
 
        The Company and its subsidiaries have several pension and postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefit plans, as described below.
 
        A contributory, defined benefit pension plan is generally available to U.S. employees. Certain non-U.S. employees are enrolled in defined benefit pension plans in the country of domicile. In addition, the Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which is a nonqualified, noncontributory pension plan. The Company provides healthcare and life insurance retirement benefits for certain U.S. employees, generally for those employed prior to August 1992, as well as dental and prescription drug benefits for certain Canadian employees. Most employees outside the U.S. are covered by government sponsored programs at no direct cost to the Company other than related payroll taxes.
 
        Net periodic cost for U.S. and non-U.S. pension and other benefit plans included the following components:
 
       Fiscal Year

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments
 
        The Company has operating leases for the use of certain property and equipment. Substantially all operating leases are noncancelable or cancelable only by the payment of penalties. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. Certain leases on real estate property are subject to annual escalations for increases in utilities and property taxes. Lease rental expense amounted to $217.6 (2001), $191.5 (2000) and $192.1 (1999).
 
        Minimum fixed rentals required for the next five years and thereafter under operating leases in effect at March 30, 2001 are as follows:

        DST Systems, Inc., a shareholder of the Company, provides data processing and consulting services and licenses certain software products to the Company. During the three fiscal years ended March 30, 2001, the Company incurred aggregate expenses of $14.3, $28.6 and $27.1, respectively, related thereto, which are included in costs of services.
 
Contingencies
 
        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 government 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. During fiscal 2001, the Company increased its provision for doubtful accounts, primarily associated with certain emerging market companies for which the Company provided management consulting/professional services.
 
        The Company is currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation. It is the opinion of Company management that ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these disputes will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

        The Company uses the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock options, under which compensation cost is equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the option grant date over the exercise price, and is amortized over the vesting period. Compensation cost recognized with respect to stock options was $2.7, $0.5 and $0.3 for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
Restricted Stock
 
        Restricted stock awards consist of shares of common stock of the Company sold at par value ($1 per share). Upon sale 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. The restrictions generally lapse on the fifth, sixth and seventh anniversaries of the date of sale.
 
        At March 30, 2001, March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, 0, 7,651 and 66,304 shares, respectively, of CSC restricted stock were outstanding, net of shares forfeited by or repurchased from terminated employees, and shares for which the restrictions have lapsed.
 
        The Company uses the intrinsic value based method of accounting for restricted stock, under which compensation cost is equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the date of sale to the employee over the sales price, and is amortized over the restriction period. Compensation cost recognized with respect to restricted stock was $0, $0.2 and $0.4 during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Note 9—Stock Incentive Plans (continued)
 
Restricted Stock Units
 
        During fiscal 1998, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan which authorizes 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 March 30, 2001, March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, 25,777, 25,777 and 22,488 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, had been awarded to nonemployee directors under this plan and were outstanding on that date.
 
        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. At the holder’s election, which must be made within 30 days after the date of the award, the RSUs may be redeemed (i) as an 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 day.
 
        There are two types of RSUs: (i) those awarded in lieu of vested retirement benefits under other plans (“Accrued Benefit RSUs”); and (ii) those awarded as a form of future retirement benefits (“Future Benefit RSUs”). When a holder of Accrued Benefit RSUs ceases to be a director of the Company, the number of shares of CSC common stock to be delivered by the Company upon redemption of the RSUs is equal to the number of such RSUs awarded. When a holder of Future Benefit RSUs ceases to be a director, the number of shares to be delivered upon redemption is equal to 20% or 33 1 /3% of the number of such RSUs awarded, multiplied by the number of full years (but not in excess of 5 or 3, respectively) that the holder served as a director after the date of award.
 
        At March 30, 2001, March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, 8,778 Accrued Benefit RSUs and 16,999, 16,999 and 13,710 Future Benefit RSUs, respectively, were outstanding, and at March 30, 2001, 74,223 shares of CSC common stock remained available for the grant to nonemployee directors of future RSUs or other stock-based incentives.
 
        The Company uses the intrinsic value based method of accounting for RSUs, under which compensation cost is equal to 100% of the total number of the RSUs awarded, multiplied by the quoted market price of the stock at the date of award, and is amortized, in the case of Future Benefit RSUs, over the vesting period. Compensation cost recognized with respect to RSUs was $0.2 for fiscal 2001.
 
Pro Forma Information
 
        In accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the following pro forma net income and earnings per share information is presented as if the Company accounted for stock-based compensation awarded under the stock incentive plans using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, the estimated fair value of stock incentive awards is charged against income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Note 9—Stock Incentive Plans (continued)
 
        The weighted average fair values of stock awards granted during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $34.14, $23.59 and $19.68, respectively. The fair value of each stock award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.12%, 5.69% and 5.48%; expected volatility of 44%, 36% and 32%; and expected lives of 6.15, 6.08 and 5.96 years.
 
Note 10—Stockholder Purchase Rights Plan
 
        On December 21, 1988, the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan pursuant to which it issued one right for each outstanding share of its common stock. On February 27, 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors redeemed these rights for one sixth of one cent per right. The redemption price was paid on April 13, 1998, to the holders of record of rights as of the close of business on March 30, 1998.
 
        On February 18, 1998, the Company adopted a new stockholder rights plan pursuant to which it issued one right for each outstanding share of its common stock. These rights, which are attached to and trade only together with the common stock, are not currently exercisable. On the tenth business day after any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of CSC’s common stock, each right (other than rights held by the 10% stockholder, which will become void) will become exercisable to purchase, for $250, CSC common stock having a market value of $500. The rights expire February 18, 2008, and may be redeemed by the Board of Directors at $.0005 per right at any time before they become exercisable.
 
Note 11—Segment and Geographic Information
 
        The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” during fiscal 1999. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
 
        All of the Company’s business involves operations which provide management and information technology consulting, systems integration and outsourcing. Although the Company presents estimates of revenue by business service and geography, the Company’s expenses and assets are not identified or accumulated in this manner due to, among other reasons, cross-utilization of personnel and assets across the Company. Based on SFAS No. 131 criteria, the Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the U.S. Federal Sector and the Global Commercial Sector. The U.S. Federal Sector operates principally within a regulatory environment subject to governmental contracting and accounting requirements, including Federal Acquisition Regulations, Cost Accounting Standards and audits by various U.S. federal agencies. The U.S. Federal Sector revenue reported below will not agree to U.S. federal government revenue presented elsewhere in the Annual Report due to overlapping activities between segments and reflects a realignment of intersegment activities to attribute operating results to the performing segment. The Company utilizes uniform accounting policies across all of its operating units (see note 1). The table below presents financial information for the three fiscal years ended March 30, 2001, for the two reportable segments, and for financial items that cannot be allocated to either operating segment:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)
(Dollars in millions except per-share amounts)
 
Note 11—Segment and Geographic Information (continued)
 
        The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from departments and agencies of the United States government. U.S. federal government revenue accounted for 25%, 24% and 26% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At March 30, 2001, approximately 28% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from the federal government. No single commercial customer exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999.
 
Note 12—Agreements with Equifax
 
        During fiscal 1989, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with Equifax Inc. and its subsidiary, Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc. (“ECIS”), pursuant to which certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Bureaus”) became affiliated credit bureaus of ECIS and purchased credit reporting services from the ECIS system for resale to their customers. The Bureaus retain ownership of their credit files stored in the ECIS system and receive revenues generated from the sale of the credit information they contain. The Bureaus pay ECIS a fee for storing and maintaining the files and for each report supplied by the ECIS system.
 
        Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company acquired an option to require ECIS to purchase the collections business (the “Collections Put Option”) and a separate option to require ECIS to purchase the credit reporting business and, if not previously sold, the collections business (the “Credit Reporting Put Option”). Both options require six months’ advance notice and expire on August 1, 2013.
 
        The Collections Put Option was exercised during fiscal 1998 and the transaction was completed during fiscal 1999.
 
        Since July 31, 1998, the exercise price of the Credit Reporting Put Option has been equal to the appraised value of the credit reporting business.
 
        The Operating Agreement has a 10 year term, which will automatically be renewed indefinitely for successive 10 year periods unless the Company gives notice of termination at least six months prior to the expiration of any such term. In the event that on or prior to August 1, 2013 (i) the Company gives such notice of termination and does not exercise the Credit Reporting Put Option prior to the termination of the then-current term or (ii) there is a change in control of the Company, then ECIS has an option for 60 days thereafter to require the Company to sell to it the credit reporting business at the Credit Reporting Put Option exercise price.
 
        The Company’s rights under the Operating Agreement, including its right to exercise the Credit Reporting Put Option, remain exercisable by the Company through its affiliates.

Annual ---------------------------------------------- meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such time and date as the Board of Directors shall determine. At each such annual meeting, the stockholders of the corporation shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as has properly been brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II. Section 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for ---------------- any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, and shall be called by the president or secretary at the request in writing of stockholders owning not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and shall not otherwise be called except as provided in the following sentence. In the event the corporation shall have failed to hold its annual meeting of stockholders for a period of 18 months from the last preceding annual meeting at which directors were elected or if such annual meeting shall have been held but directors shall not have been elected at such annual meeting, a special meeting of the stockholders shall be called by the president or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request from stockholders shall be directed to the Chairman of the Board, the president, the vice president or the secretary. To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice must set forth (i) the name and record address of such stockholder, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the election of directors and any material interest of such stockholder in such election and (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at such special meeting to vote on the election of directors at such meeting. The business transacted at such special meeting shall be confined to the election of directors. Section 4. Notices of Meetings. Notices of meetings of the ------------------- stockholders shall be in writing and signed by the president, a vice president, the secretary, an assistant secretary, or by such other person or persons as the directors shall designate. Such notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and the time when, and the place where, it is to be held. A copy of such notice shall be either delivered personally or shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before such meeting. If mailed, it shall be directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears upon the records of the corporation and upon such mailing of any such notice, the service thereof shall be complete, and the time of the notice shall begin to run from the date upon which such notice is deposited in the mail for transmission to such stockholder. If no such address appears on the books of the corporation and a stockholder has given no address for the purpose of notice, then notice shall be deemed to have been given to such stockholder if it is published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the principal executive office of the corporation is located. An affidavit of the mailing or publication of any such notice shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice. Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or association, or to any member of a partnership shall constitute delivery of such notice to such corporation, association or partnership. If any notice addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that it is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all future notices shall be deemed to have been duly given to such stockholder, without further mailing, if the same shall be available for the stockholder upon written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice to all other stockholders. Section 5. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and ------ outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by the statutes of Nevada or by the Articles of Incorporation. Regardless of whether or not a quorum is present or represented at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a 2 quorum shall be present in person or represented by proxy, provided that when any stockholders' meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days, or if after adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. Section 6. Vote Required. When a quorum is present or ------------- represented at any meeting, the holders of a majority of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and voting shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the statutes of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Section 7. Cumulative Voting. Except as otherwise provided in ----------------- the Articles of Incorporation, every stockholder of record of the corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of the stockholders to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the corporation. At all elections of directors of this corporation, each holder of shares of capital stock possessing voting power shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of his shares of stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and he may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for or any two or more of them, as he may see fit. The stockholders of this corporation and any proxyholders for such stockholders are entitled to exercise the right to cumulative voting at any meeting held for the election of directors if: (a) not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for holding such meeting, if notice of the meeting has been given at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting, and otherwise not less than twenty-four (24) hours before such time, a stockholder of this corporation has given notice in writing to the president or secretary of the corporation that he desires that the voting at such election of directors shall be cumulative; and (b) at such meeting, prior to the commencement of voting for the election of directors, an announcement of the giving of such notice has been made by the chairman or the secretary of the meeting or by or on behalf of the stockholder giving such notice. Notice to stockholders of the requirements of the preceding sentence shall be contained in the notice calling such meeting or in the proxy material accompanying such notice. Section 8. Conduct of Meetings. Subject to the requirements of ------------------- the statutes of Nevada, and the express provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws, all annual and special meetings of stockholders shall be conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors may determine and, as to matters not governed by such rules and procedures, as the chairman of such meeting shall determine. The chairman of any annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the Board of Directors and, in the absence of any such designation, shall be the president of the corporation. 3 Section 9. Proxies. At any meeting of the stockholders, any ------- stockholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing. In the event that such instrument in writing shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or, if only one shall be present, then that one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written instrument upon all of the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its execution, unless coupled with an interest, or unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution. Subject to the above, any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until (i) an instrument revoking it or duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the secretary of the corporation or, (ii) the person executing the proxy attends such meeting and votes the shares subject to the proxy, or (iii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted. Section 10. Action by Written Consent. Any action, except ------------------------- election of directors, which may be taken by a vote of the stockholders at a meeting, may be taken without a meeting and without notice if authorized by the written consent of stockholders holding at least ninety percent (90%) of the voting power. Section 11. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting ---------------------- of stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint inspectors of election to act at such meeting and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, then, unless other persons are appointed by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or a stockholder proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election (or persons to replace those who fail to appear or refuse to act) at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall not exceed three. The duties of such inspectors shall include: (a) determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; (b) receiving votes, ballots or consents; (c) hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; (d) counting and tabulating all votes or consents and determining the result; and (e) taking such other action as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. In the determination of the validity and effect of proxies, the dates contained on the forms of proxy shall presumptively determine the order of execution of the proxies, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed. The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. 4 Section 12. Action at Meetings of Stockholders. No business ---------------------------------- may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 12 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 12. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business properly to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, or the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) days nor more than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is -------- ------- called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the 5:00 o'clock, p.m., Los Angeles, California time on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12, provided, however, that, once business has been brought properly before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not brought properly before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not brought properly before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted. 5 ARTICLE III DIRECTORS Section 1. Number of Directors. The exact number of directors ------------------- that shall constitute the authorized number of members of the Board shall be ten (10), all of whom shall be at least 18 years of age.

When one or more directors shall give notice of his or their resignation to the Board, effective at a future date, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The Board shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, each director so appointed to hold office during the remainder of the term of office of the resigning director or directors. The directors of the Corporation may be removed from office by the vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to voting power; provided, however, that any director or directors who constitute fewer than all of the incumbent directors may not be removed from office at any one time or as the result of any one transaction 6 except upon the vote of stockholders owning sufficient shares to prevent each director's election to office at the time of removal.

Notice by mail shall be deemed to have been given at the time a written notice is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid. Any other written notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time it is personally delivered to the recipient or is delivered to a common carrier for transmission, or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means, to the recipient. Oral notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time it is communicated, in person or by telephone or wireless, to the recipient or to a person at the office of the recipient who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the recipient. Any notice, waiver of notice or consent to holding a meeting shall state the time, date and place of the meeting but need not specify the purpose of the meeting. Section 8. Quorum. Presence in person of a majority of the ------ Board of Directors, at a meeting duly assembled, shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present and voting at any meeting, at which a quorum is then present, shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by the statutes of Nevada 7 or by the Articles of Incorporation. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present shall not continue to transact business in the absence of a quorum. Section 9. Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise ------------------------- restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors shall determine that it is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders for a person to continue to serve 8 as a director of the Corporation until the close of the annual meeting immediately following the annual meeting upon which this Section 15 would otherwise require such person to retire, then such person shall not be so required to retire until the close of such later annual meeting.

If the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the certificate shall contain a statement setting forth the office or agency of the corporation from which stockholders may obtain a copy of a statement or summary of the designations, preferences and relative or other special rights of the various 9 classes of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights. The corporation shall furnish to its stockholders, upon request and without charge, a copy of such statement or summary. Section 2. Facsimile Signatures. Whenever any certificate is -------------------- countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a facsimile of the signatures of the officers of the corporation may be printed or lithographed upon such certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation, before such certificates shall have been delivered by the corporation, such certificates may nevertheless be issued as though the person or persons who signed such certificates, had not ceased to be an officer of the corporation. Section 3. Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may ----------------- direct a new stock certificate to be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed, and may require the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the stock certificate to be lost or destroyed.

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors (a) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the sixtieth (60th) day preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (b) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given; and (c) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such action, whichever is later. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting. 10 Section 6. Registered Stock. The corporation shall be entitled ---------------- to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the statutes of Nevada. Section 7. Dividends. In the event a dividend is declared, the --------- stock transfer books will not be closed but a record date will be fixed by the Board of Directors and only shareholders of record on that date shall be entitled to the dividend. ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION Section 1. Indemnity of Directors, Officers and Agents. The ------------------------------------------- corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the corporation or is serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise or by reason of actions alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer. The indemnification of directors and officers by the corporation shall be to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as such law exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to the amendment). The indemnification of directors and officers shall be against all loss, liability and expense (including attorneys fees, costs, damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and ERISA excise taxes or penalties) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeals; provided, however, that with respect to any action, suit or proceeding initiated by a director or officer, the corporation shall indemnify such director or officer only if the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation, except with respect to a suit for the enforcement of rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in accordance with Section 3 hereof. Section 2. Expenses The expenses of directors and officers -------- incurred as a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative shall be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if applicable law so requires, the advance payment of expenses shall be made only upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts as advanced in the event that it is ultimately determined by a final decision, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article VI. 11 Section 3. Enforcement Any director or officer may enforce his ----------- or her rights to indemnification or advance payments for expenses in a suit brought against the corporation if his or her request for indemnification or advance payments for expenses is wholly or partially refused by the corporation or if there is no determination with respect to such request within 60 days from receipt by the corporation of a written notice from the director or officer for such a determination. If a director or officer is successful in establishing in a suit his or her entitlement to receive or recover an advancement of expenses or a right to indemnification, in whole or in part, he or she shall also be indemnified by the corporation for costs and expenses incurred in such suit. It shall be a defense to any such suit (other than a suit brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses under Section 2 of this Article VI where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct nor a determination by the corporation that the director or officer has not met such applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the director or officer has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In a suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right under this Section 3 or by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that a director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified or is not entitled to an advancement of expenses under this Section 3 or otherwise, shall be on the corporation. Section 4. Non-exclusivity The right to indemnification and to --------------- the payment of expenses as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding shall not be exclusive of any other right to which a person may be entitled under these articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, statute, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The right to indemnification under Section 1 hereof shall continue for a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and legal representatives. Section 5. Settlement The corporation shall not be obligated ---------- to reimburse the amount of any settlement unless it has agreed to such settlement. If any person shall unreasonably fail to enter into a settlement of any action, suit or proceeding within the scope of Section 1 hereof, offered or assented to by the opposing party or parties and which is acceptable to the corporation, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, the indemnification obligation of the corporation in connection with such action, suit or proceeding shall be limited to the total of the amount at which settlement could have been made and the expenses incurred by such person prior to the time the settlement could reasonably have been effected. Section 6. Purchase of Insurance. The corporation may purchase --------------------- and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, 12 joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI. Section 7. Conditions The corporation may, to the extent ---------- authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation or to any director, officer, employee or agent of any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VI subject to the imposition of any conditions or limitations as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or appropriate. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1. Exercise of Rights. All rights incident to any and ------------------ all shares of another corporation or corporations standing in the name of this corporation may be exercised by such officer, agent or proxyholder as the Board of Directors may designate.
