INTEL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Unaudited

 

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements of Intel Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include: the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and property, plant, and equipment; the valuation of non-marketable equity securities and inventory; and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The actual results experienced by the company may differ materially from management’s estimates.

 

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The interim financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002.

 

Note 2:  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE) to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A VIE is an entity in which the equity investors do not have a controlling interest, or the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from the other parties. For arrangements entered into with VIEs created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are required to be adopted at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. Intel is currently reviewing its investments and other arrangements to determine whether any of its investee companies are VIEs. The company does not expect to identify any significant VIEs that would be consolidated, but may be required to make additional disclosures. The company’s maximum exposure related to any investment that may be determined to be in a VIE is limited to the amount invested. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into with new VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The company has not invested in any new VIEs created after January 31, 2003.

 

Note 3:  Employee Stock Options

 

The company has a stock option plan under which officers, key employees and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of the company’s authorized but unissued common stock. The company also has a broad-based stock option plan under which stock options may be granted to all employees other than officers and directors. As of March 29, 2003, substantially all of our employees were participating in one of the stock option plans. The company’s Executive Long-Term Stock Option Plan, under which certain key employees, including officers, were granted stock options, terminated in 1998. No further grants may be made under this plan, although options granted prior to the termination may remain outstanding. Under all of the plans, the option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Intel common stock at the date of grant. In prior years, Intel also assumed the stock option plans and the outstanding options of certain acquired companies. No additional stock grants will be granted under these assumed plans. Options granted by Intel currently expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Currently, options granted to existing and newly hired employees generally vest in increments over 4 or 5 years from the date of grant, and certain grants to key employees have delayed vesting generally beginning 6 years from the date of grant.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (SFAS No. 148). SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for companies making a voluntary change to fair value-based

accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Intel continues to account for its stock option plans under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. Effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002, SFAS No. 148 also requires disclosure of pro-forma results on a quarterly basis as if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123.

 

As the exercise price of all options granted under these plans was equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date, no stock-based employee compensation cost, other than acquisition-related compensation, is recognized in net income. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended, to options granted under the stock option plans and under the company’s Stock Participation Plan, collectively called “options.” For purposes of this pro-forma disclosure, the estimated value of the options is amortized ratably to expense over the options’ vesting periods. Because the estimated value is determined as of the date of grant, the actual value ultimately realized by the employee may be significantly different.

SFAS No. 123 requires the use of option pricing models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Because the company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee stock options.

 

The value of options granted in the first quarter of 2003 and 2002 reported above was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

An analysis of historical information is used to determine the assumptions used, to the extent that historical information is relevant, based on the terms of the grants being issued in any given period. The expected life for options granted in the first quarter of 2003 reflects the fact that grants with longer vesting periods were given to key officers and other senior-level employees in recognition of their future potential in leading the company.

 

The weighted average estimated value of employee stock options granted during the first quarter of 2003 was $8.75 ($15.60 for the first quarter of 2002). The weighted average estimated value of shares granted under the Stock Participation Plan during the first quarter of 2003 was $5.19 ($9.38 for the first quarter of 2002).

Under the Stock Participation Plan, eligible employees may purchase shares of Intel’s common stock at 85% of fair market value at specific, predetermined dates. Of the 944 million shares authorized to be issued under the plan, 97.5 million shares remained available for issuance at March 29, 2003. Employees purchased 12.2 million shares for $175 million in the first quarter of 2003 (7.1 million shares for $179 million in the first quarter of 2002).

 

Note 4:  Earnings Per Share

 

The shares used in the computation of the company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options. For the first quarter of 2003, approximately 681 million of the company’s stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the stock options were equal to or greater than the average share price of the common shares, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (154 million shares excluded in the first quarter of 2002). These options could be dilutive in the future.

Note 5:  Common Stock Repurchase Program

 

During the first quarter of 2003, the company repurchased 62.6 million shares of common stock under the company’s authorized repurchase program at a cost of $1.0 billion. Since the program began in 1990 the company has repurchased and retired approximately 1.8 billion shares at a cost of approximately $31 billion. As of March 29, 2003, approximately 527 million shares remained available for repurchase under the repurchase authorization.

Note 12:  Acquisition-Related Unearned Stock Compensation

 

Acquisition-related unearned stock compensation includes the portion of the purchase consideration related to shares issued contingent upon the continued employment of selected employee stockholders, and/or the completion of specified milestones. The unearned stock-based compensation also includes the intrinsic value of stock options assumed in acquisitions that is earned as the employees provide future services. The compensation is being recognized over the period earned, and the expense is included in the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs. Amortization of unearned stock compensation was $11 million for the first quarter of 2003 ($26 million for the first quarter of 2002) related to acquisitions made in prior periods.

 

Note 13:  Long-Term Debt

 

The company’s zero coupon senior exchangeable notes (Intel notes), with a total carrying amount of $104 million as of March 29, 2003, have been classified as short-term debt. The Intel notes are redeemable by Intel, provided specified market price criteria are met, through their maturity at February 1, 2004. The note holders have the right to exchange their Intel notes for Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. convertible notes owned by Intel. The Intel note holders may exercise their exchange option on the Intel notes any time prior to January 12, 2004.

 

Note 14:  Product Warranty

 

The company generally sells products with a limited warranty of product quality and a limited indemnification of customers against intellectual property infringement claims related to the company’s products. The company accrues for known warranty and indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical activity. The accrual and the related expense for known issues were not significant as of and for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002. Due to product testing, the short time between product shipment and the detection and correction of product failures, and a low historical rate of payments on indemnification claims, the accrual based on historical activity and the related expense were not significant as of and for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002.

Note 16:  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In June 2002, the company announced its intention to wind down its Intel® Online Services Web hosting business over four quarters, due to trends and financial forecasts for the hosting services industry. The company has recognized a related $128 million in pre-tax charges to cost of sales, of which $106 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2002 and the remainder was recorded in the first quarter of 2003 due to an increase in the estimate of assets that will no longer be utilized. Approximately $118 million of the charges related to the impairment of the web hosting business’ assets, including leasehold improvements and server equipment. The amount of the impairment was determined based on discounted future cash flows and comparable market prices. The remaining $10 million represented the accrual of lease and other exit-related costs. These charges were reflected in the “all other” category for segment reporting purposes.

 

Note 17:  Contingencies

 

In November 2001, Broadcom Corporation filed suit against Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint alleges that certain Intel chipsets with integrated graphics infringe two Broadcom patents. A third patent relating to networking has been dismissed from the case. The court granted Intel’s motion to add counterclaims based on three related patents against Broadcom. Trial is currently set for July 2003. Broadcom seeks damages and an injunction against Intel to prohibit Intel from selling certain chipsets with integrated graphics and motherboards incorporating such chipsets. Intel seeks damages and an injunction against Broadcom to prohibit Broadcom from selling certain switch-on-a-chip products and certain Gigabit transceivers and controllers. The company disputes the plaintiff’s claims and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

 

In 1997, Intergraph Corporation filed suit in Federal District Court in Alabama, generally alleging, among other claims, that Intel infringed certain Intergraph patents. In August 2001, Intergraph filed a second suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that the Intel® Itanium® processor infringes two Intergraph microprocessor-related patents, and seeking an injunction and unspecified damages. In April 2002, Intel and Intergraph announced that they entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to settle the Alabama lawsuit and dismiss it with prejudice.

 

11



 

In October 2002, the Texas court ruled that Intel infringed both patents at issue in that case. Based on this decision and pursuant to the settlement agreement, Intel paid Intergraph $150 million. Intel has appealed the trial court’s decision, and if Intel prevails on appeal, no further payments will be due to Intergraph under the settlement agreement. However, if Intergraph prevails on either patent, the settlement agreement provides that Intel must pay Intergraph an additional $100 million and will receive a license for the patents at issue in the case.

 

In May 2000, various plaintiffs filed a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14d-10 in connection with Intel’s acquisition of DSP Communications, Inc. The complaint alleged that Intel and CWC (Intel’s wholly owned subsidiary at the time) agreed to pay certain DSP executives additional consideration of $15.6 million not offered or paid to other stockholders. The alleged purpose of this payment to the insiders was to obtain DSP insiders’ endorsement of Intel’s tender offer in violation of the anti-discrimination provision of Section 14(d)(7) and Rule 14d-10. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for the class, and unspecified costs and expenses. In July 2002, the District Court granted Intel’s motion for summary judgment, but in October 2002, the District Court vacated the summary judgment. In January 2003, the parties reached a tentative settlement agreement pending court review and approval. The settlement is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In September 2001, VIA Technologies, Inc. and Centaur Technology, Inc. sued Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, alleging that the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor infringes a VIA microprocessor-related patent. In October 2001, Intel filed counterclaims against VIA, asserting that VIA’s C3* microprocessors infringe Intel patents. In January 2002, VIA amended its complaint to allege that Intel’s Pentium® II, Pentium® III, Celeron® and Pentium 4 processors infringe another patent. In August 2002, Intel added an additional claim that VIA’s C3 microprocessors infringe an additional Intel patent, and VIA added an additional claim that Intel’s Pentium III and Pentium 4 processors infringe another VIA patent. In April 2003, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to dismiss with prejudice the claims and counterclaims in this lawsuit, and to dismiss all other pending legal claims between them in all jurisdictions. The confidential settlement agreement includes a patent cross-license agreement covering certain of each company’s products, subject to certain terms and limitations. The settlement agreement did not have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In September, October and November 2001, various plaintiffs filed five class-action lawsuits against Intel alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The five complaints were consolidated in an amended complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The amended complaint alleges that purchasers of Intel stock between July 19, 2000 and September 29, 2000 were misled by false and misleading statements by Intel and certain of its officers and directors concerning the company’s business and financial condition. In October 2002, the U.S. District Court granted Intel’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint without prejudice, and the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in November 2002. In addition, various plaintiffs filed stockholder derivative complaints in California Superior Court and Delaware Chancery Court against the company’s directors and certain officers, alleging that they mismanaged the company and otherwise breached their fiduciary obligations to the company. In May 2002, the California Superior Court sustained Intel’s demurrer to the California complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint, which they then filed. The company filed a demurrer to the amended complaint, which the court sustained without prejudice to the plaintiffs filing a third amended complaint, which the plaintiffs have filed. All complaints seek unspecified damages. The company disputes all plaintiffs’ claims in all actions and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

 

In June 2002, various plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Third Judicial Circuit Court, Madison County, Illinois, against Intel, Hewlett-Packard Co., HPDirect, Inc. and Gateway Inc., alleging that the defendants’ advertisements and statements misled the public by suppressing and concealing the alleged material fact that systems that use the Intel Pentium 4 processor are less powerful and slower than systems using the Intel Pentium III processor and a competitor’s processors. The plaintiffs claim that their lawsuit should be treated as a nationwide class action. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, and attorney’s fees and costs. The company disputes the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

The company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings, including those noted above. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction prohibiting Intel from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The “Strategy,” “Critical Accounting Estimates,” “Employee Stock Options” and “Outlook” sections contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially. These statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that had not closed as of May 2, 2003.

 

Strategy

 

Our goal is to be the preeminent building block supplier to the worldwide Internet economy. Focusing on our core competencies in the design and manufacture of integrated circuits, as well as our expertise in digital computing and communications, we believe we are well positioned to drive the convergence of computing and communications through silicon integration. We focus on developing advanced technology solutions tailored to meet user requirements in specific settings, providing the features people want in their homes, at work and at play. We also provide key components for the networking and communications infrastructure needed to connect technology users. Each of our operating segments uses its core competencies, as well as key silicon architectures, to provide building blocks for technology solutions. The Intel Architecture business provides the advanced technologies to support the desktop, mobile and enterprise platforms. Our Wireless Communications and Computing Group (WCCG) focuses on component-level products and solutions for the wireless handheld communications market segments. Finally, our Intel Communications Group (ICG) focuses on wired and wireless connectivity products and provides key components for networking and communications infrastructure devices.

 

All of our businesses operate in highly innovative environments characterized by continuing and rapid introduction of new products offering improved performance at lower prices. As part of our overall strategy, we use our core competencies, financial strength and global presence to compete vigorously in each relevant market segment. Our competition comes from established businesses as well as new entrants to the marketplace. With the trend toward convergence in computing and communications products, product offerings will likely cross over multiple categories, offering us new opportunities, but also resulting in more businesses that compete with us. Competition tends to increase pricing pressure on our products, which may mean that we must offer our products at lower prices than we had anticipated, resulting in lower profits. Because some of our competitors already have established products and product designs, it is inherently difficult for us to compete against them. In addition, certain market segments in which we compete, such as networking and telecommunications products, have experienced an overall economic decline, increasing the degree of competition within these market segments. When we believe it is appropriate, we will take various steps, including introducing new products and discontinuing older products, reducing prices, and offering rebates and other incentives in order to increase acceptance of our latest products and to be competitive within each relevant market segment.

 

We plan to cultivate new businesses and work with the computing and communications industry to expand product offerings and Internet capabilities, including the infrastructure for wireless access, and develop compelling software applications and operating systems designed to take advantage of higher performance microprocessors and chipsets as well as our other next-generation semiconductor components.

 

Intel Architecture Business

 

The Intel Architecture business supports the desktop, mobile and enterprise platforms. For the desktop platform, our strategy is to introduce ever-higher performance microprocessors and chipsets, tailored for the different market segments of the worldwide computing market, using a tiered branding approach. For the mobile platform, our strategy is to deliver products optimized for the four mobility vectors: performance, battery life, form factor and wireless capability. The desktop and mobile platforms are based on the IA-32 architecture, which currently includes both the Intel® NetBurst™ and the P6 microarchitectures. Our strategy for the enterprise platform is to provide high-performance processors and the best price for performance across the entire range of server and workstation market segments.

 

15



 

For the desktop performance market segment, we offer the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, based on the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, focused on both home and business applications. These processors are optimized to deliver high performance across a broad range of business and consumer applications, especially the latest technologies in web, interactive 3D, and streaming video and audio environments. These processors also enhance the user’s experience in many applications, such as e-Learning, Internet browsing and computer gaming. Also for the performance desktop, we offer the Pentium 4 Processor with Hyper Threading (HT) Technology. HT Technology, when used in a computer system with the other features required to take advantage of this technology, allows a multithreaded software program to run as though it has two processors at its disposal, even though it uses only one processor. In April 2003, we introduced the Pentium 4 processor with HT Technology operating at 3 GHz that supports an 800-MHz system bus. The 800-MHz bus can transmit information within the PC up to 50 percent faster than our previous 533-MHz version. To enable this increased performance we also introduced the Intel® 875P chipset. The Intel 875P chipset contains technical innovations that accelerate the speed at which data flows between the processor and system bus as well as increase the computer’s networking bandwidth. For the desktop value market segment, we offer the Intel® Celeron® processor, designed to meet the core computing needs and affordability requirements of some value-conscious PC users. During the first quarter of 2003, we strengthened our line-up with the introduction of Celeron processors running at 2.3 and 2.4 GHz.

 

For the mobile market segment, we offer processors optimized for full size, thin and light, and ultra-portable notebook PCs. In March 2003, we introduced Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology, our first computing technology designed and optimized specifically for wireless mobile PC users. Products based on Intel Centrino mobile technology include a combination of a new Intel® Pentium® M processor with the Intel® 855 chipset family, both offered by the Mobile Platforms Group within the Intel Architecture business, and an Intel® PROWireless® 2100 network connection, from ICG. We also offer the Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor-M, enabling users to take full advantage of processing-intensive applications on a laptop PC, as well as the Intel Celeron processor for the mobile value market segment.

 

To increase acceptance and deployment of our mobile products, we are focused on initiatives designed to support technologies addressing wireless solutions, software enabling, security and extended battery life for mobile PCs. We also work with standards bodies, trade associations, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and independent software vendors to align the industry, our customers and end users, thereby increasing acceptance of both our desktop and mobile platforms.

 

The Intel Architecture business also supports the enterprise platform with the Intel® Xeon™ processor family, based on the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, for workstations and entry-level to high-end servers, and the Intel® Itanium® processor family for enterprise-class servers. The Intel Xeon processor is offered with HT Technology and is aimed at two-way servers (also known as dual-processing (DP) servers) and workstations, and we also offer the Intel Xeon processor MP for servers based on four or more processors. During the first quarter of 2003, we introduced two new Xeon processors for DP servers and workstations running at 3 GHz. For the enterprise-class market segment, we currently offer the Itanium 2 processor which is designed for handling high transaction volumes, complex transactions and other data intensive computing applications. The next member of the Intel® Itanium processor family, code-named Madison, is scheduled for a mid-year introduction. The processor is based on 0.13-micron technology, provides up to 6 MB of cache memory, and is designed to plug into existing Itanium 2 system designs. As the technology industry develops operating systems and software with capabilities to address growing data traffic management, storage, computing and communications needs, and as traditional computing and telecommunications converge, we believe that there will be increased demand for our higher performance enterprise platform products. We also anticipate that the convergence of computing and communications will create new opportunities for server components (such as components for blade servers used in data centers) in new and existing communications market segments.

 

Our microprocessor business generally follows a seasonal trend; however, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. In four of the past five years, the company’s sales of microprocessors were higher in the second half of the year, primarily due to back-to-school and holiday demand.

Wireless Communications and Computing Group

 

Within WCCG, our strategy is to deliver complete solutions that enable quick deployment of applications and services for wireless Internet and handheld computing devices. The Intel® Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel® PCA), an architecture platform that describes the communication and application subsystems for data-enabled cellular phones and portable handheld devices, is a very important part of our WCCG strategy. We expect that the Intel PCA scalable platform will speed application development and allow faster time-to-market for our customers. For the handheld platform, our current products include Intel® Flash memory, processors based on the Intel ® XscaleTM microarchitecture, and cellular baseband chipsets. The Intel Xscale technology provides the processing capability in data-enabled mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), as well as other types of handheld devices such as Personal Video Players and Smart Displays. We are working toward the convergence of communications and computing in this market segment by developing technology for mobile handheld clients that combines baseband communication features with memory and applications processing functionality. In February 2003, we announced our first “wireless-Internet-on-a-chip” cellular processor, the PXA800F, formerly code-named Manitoba, which will integrate these three functions on the same chip.

 

Intel Communications Group

 

Within ICG, our strategy is to be the leading supplier of silicon and integrated networking and communications building blocks for OEMs. We are developing products that focus on technologies that we believe are essential to build out the Internet: Ethernet connectivity products, including products designed for wireless applications, optical products and network processing components. Our strategy for Ethernet connectivity is to expand our product portfolio in the local area network (LAN) market segment and to address the emerging metropolitan area network (MAN) and networked storage market segments. Within the LAN market segment, we are investing in Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet and wireless technologies based on the wireless 802.11 industry standards. In the networked storage market segment, we are developing products that allow storage resources to be added to any location on either of the two most prevalent types of storage networks: Ethernet or Fibre Channel. For the optical market segment, our strategy is to deliver products based on industry standards, including Ethernet and data transport standards in the telecommunications industry (SONET/SDH). We are providing 10-Gigabit optical products at multiple levels of integration with decreased power consumption and increased signal transmission capability. In network processing, we deliver products that are basic building blocks for modular networking infrastructure. These products include advanced, programmable processors that are used to manage and direct data moving across the Internet and corporate networks. The transition to our 90-nanometer manufacturing process is a key factor in our execution of these strategies. The 90-nanometer manufacturing process is expected to enable many of our communications products to feature “mixed-signal” circuitry and high-speed transistors, aimed at creating a new generation of faster, more integrated, less costly communications chips. As we transition to this new process, we expect to build more of our communications products internally. Currently, third-party foundry manufacturers perform a substantial portion of ICG’s manufacturing.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include the assessment of recoverability of goodwill, which impacts write-offs of goodwill; valuation of non-marketable equity securities, which impacts net gains (losses) on equity securities when we record impairments; valuation of inventory, which impacts gross margin; assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which primarily impacts gross margin when we impair assets or accelerate their depreciation; and recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which impacts our tax provision. Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We also have other policies that we consider to be key accounting policies, such as our policies for revenue recognition, including the deferral of revenues on sales to distributors; however, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

 

Goodwill.  According to our accounting policy we perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Our most recent review was in the fourth quarter of 2002. Our impairment review process is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses our estimates of revenue for the reporting units, driven by assumed market growth rates and assumed market segment share, and estimated costs as well as appropriate discount rates. These estimates are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage the underlying businesses. The estimates we used assumed that we will gain market segment share in the future and that the communications businesses will experience a gradual recovery and a return to growth from the current trends. We may incur charges for impairment of goodwill in the future if the communications sector does not recover as we expect, if we fail to deliver new products for these groups, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, if we fail to achieve our assumed revenue growth rates or assumed gross margin, or if interest rates increase significantly.

 

Non-Marketable Equity Securities.  At March 29, 2003, the carrying value of our portfolio of strategic investments in non-marketable equity securities, excluding equity derivatives, totaled $643 million. Our ability to recover our investments in private, non-marketable equity securities and to earn a return on these investments is primarily dependent on how successfully these companies are able to execute to their business plans and how well their products are accepted, as well as their ability to obtain venture capital funding to continue operations and to grow. In the current equity market environment, their ability to obtain additional funding as well as to take advantage of liquidity events, such as initial public offerings, mergers and private sales, is significantly constrained.

 

Under our accounting policy, the carrying value of a non-marketable investment is the amount paid for the investment unless it has been determined to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write the investment down to its impaired value. We review all of our investments periodically for impairment; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the impairment analysis requires significant judgment. This analysis includes assessment of each investee’s financial condition, the business outlook for its products and technology, its projected results and cash flows, the likelihood of obtaining subsequent rounds of financing and the impact of any relevant contractual equity preferences held by Intel or others. If an investee obtains additional funding at a valuation lower than our carrying amount, we presume that the investment is other than temporarily impaired, unless specific facts and circumstances indicate otherwise. As the equity markets have declined significantly over the past two years, we have experienced substantial impairments in our portfolio of non-marketable equity securities. If equity market conditions do not improve, as companies within our portfolio attempt to raise additional funds, the funds may not be available to them, or they may receive lower valuations, with more onerous investment terms than in previous financings, and the investments will likely become impaired. However, we are not able to determine at the present time which specific investments are likely to be impaired in the future, or the extent or timing of individual impairments. During the first quarter of 2003, we recorded impairments of non-marketable equity investments of $140 million ($197 million in the first quarter of 2002).

Inventory.  The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory and inventory that is not of saleable quality. The determination of obsolete or excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for our products within specific time horizons, generally six months or less. The estimates of future demand that we use in the valuation of inventory are the basis for our published revenue forecast, which is also consistent with our short-term manufacturing plan. If our demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and we fail to reduce manufacturing output accordingly, we could be required to record additional inventory reserves, which would have a negative impact on our gross margin.

 

Long-Lived Assets.  We assess the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Factors we consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of a business or product line in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in our operations is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset grouping to the related total future net cash flows. If an asset grouping’s carrying value is not recoverable through those cash flows, the asset grouping is considered to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and their fair value, based on the best information available, including market prices or a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

Due to our asset usage model and the fungible nature of our semiconductor manufacturing capacity, we must make subjective judgments in determining the asset groupings and the related independent cash flows for the asset recoverability test. In addition, as we make manufacturing process conversions and other factory planning decisions, we must make subjective judgments regarding the remaining useful lives of assets, primarily process-specific semiconductor manufacturing tools and building improvements. When we determine that the useful lives of assets are shorter than we had originally estimated, and there are sufficient cash flows to support the carrying value of the assets, we accelerate the rate of depreciation charges in order to fully depreciate the assets over their new, shorter, useful lives.

 

Income Taxes.  In determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain of the deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.

 

We must assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we must increase our provision for taxes by recording a reserve, in the form of a valuation allowance, for the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable. As of March 29, 2003, we believe that all of our recorded deferred tax assets will ultimately be recovered. However, should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would increase in the period in which we determine that the recovery is not probable.

 

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

Our net revenue for Q1 2003 of $6.75 billion was flat compared to Q1 2002 as we experienced a seasonal quarter, with the Intel Architecture business performing toward the high end of the seasonal range. Net revenue was flat for the Intel Architecture business on higher unit sales of microprocessors, offset by lower average selling prices. Revenue for WCCG was slightly higher on increased sales of application processors and baseband chipsets, partially offset by lower volumes of flash memory products. Revenue for ICG was slightly lower. On a geographic basis, higher revenue in the Asia-Pacific region offset a decline in the Americas, as Asia continues to grow as a global manufacturing center. Revenue in Europe also increased in Q1 2003 compared to Q1 2002.

 

Our overall gross margin percentage increased to 52.0% for Q1 2003 from 51.3% in Q1 2002. Gross margin for the Intel Architecture business was higher and gross margin percentages in our other businesses were down slightly. See “Outlook” for a discussion of gross margin expectations.

 

Intel Architecture Business

 

The revenue and operating income for the Intel Architecture operating segment for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, were as follows:

Net revenue for the Intel Architecture operating segment remained flat at $5.8 billion in Q1 2003 compared to Q1 2002. Higher unit volumes of microprocessors, including microprocessors for the Microsoft Xbox, were offset by slightly lower average selling prices for microprocessors.

 

For Q1 2003, a substantial majority of our consolidated net revenue and gross margin came from sales of the Intel® Pentium® 4 microprocessor and related microprocessors based on the Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture, as well as related chipsets and motherboards. For Q1 2002, a majority of our consolidated net revenue and gross margin came from sales of microprocessors and related products based on the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture. For the same period, sales of Intel® Pentium® III microprocessors and related products based on the P6 microarchitecture made up a significant, but rapidly decreasing portion of our consolidated net revenue and gross margin.

Operating income increased to $1,913 million in Q1 2003, compared to $1,802 million in Q1 2002. The increase was primarily due to the Q1 2002 impact of a charge of $155 million related to a settlement agreement with Intergraph Corporation and, in Q1 2003, higher unit volumes of microprocessors and an unusually high level of sales of microprocessor and chipset inventory that had previously been reserved. These improvements were partially offset by lower average selling prices on microprocessors as well as increased start-up costs relating to the 300-millimeter wafer manufacturing and 0.13-micron technology manufacturing ramp.

Net revenue increased by $14 million or 3%, in Q1 2003 compared to Q1 2002 due to higher unit volumes of application processors and baseband chipsets for data-enabled cellular phones and handheld computing devices. In Q1 2003, revenue for flash memory products was negatively impacted by lost business as a result of our price increase on certain products at year end, with revenue decreasing slightly compared to Q1 2002.

 

The operating loss increased by $26 million to a loss of $94 million in Q1 2003 compared to a loss of $68 million in Q1 2002 primarily due to the impact of increased inventory reserves on flash memory products as well as lower revenue on lower flash memory unit volume, partially offset by the impact of higher revenue from sales of application processors and baseband chipsets.

Net revenue decreased by $15 million, or 3%, in Q1 2003 compared to Q1 2002, primarily due to lower revenue from sales of telecommunications-related products. Revenue was also lower for Ethernet connections on higher unit shipments, due to a shift in product mix from higher-priced adapter cards to lower-priced local area network (LAN) on motherboard products.

 

Despite the decline in ICG net revenue, the operating loss decreased to $140 million in Q1 2003 from a $150 million loss in Q1 2002, primarily due to lower operating expenses in Q1 2003, as we streamlined operations and refocused on our core strategic areas. The reduction in operating expenses was partially offset by the impact of lower revenue and the shift in product mix to lower margin local area network (LAN) on motherboard products from higher margin adapter cards.

Research and development spending increased $37 million, or 4%, in Q1 2003 compared to Q1 2002. This increase was primarily due to product development programs in the Intel Architecture business. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $54 million, or 5%, in Q1 2003 compared to Q1 2002, primarily due to lower discretionary spending and lower expenses as we reduced headcount and exited certain businesses. This decrease was partially offset by higher marketing expense due to the launch of the Intel® Centrino brand in Q1 2003 and higher cooperative advertising expenses, as our customers used a slightly higher percentage of their available Intel Inside® Program funds. Research and development along with marketing, general and administrative expenses were 30% of net revenue in both Q1 2003 and 2002.

 

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs was $84 million in Q1 2003 compared to $111 million in Q1 2002, reflecting an overall decrease in new acquisition activity.

Losses on equity securities and certain equity derivatives for Q1 2003 were $127 million compared to $46 million for Q1 2002. The net loss for Q1 2003 was primarily driven by impairment charges on non-marketable equity securities, of approximately $140 million. The Q1 2002 losses included impairment charges on non-marketable equity securities of approximately $197 million, partially offset by net gains of approximately $120 million, primarily related to the difference between the cost and the fair market value of formerly restricted non-marketable investments that we designated as trading assets in Q1 2002.

 

Our effective income tax rate was 30.5% for Q1 2003, compared to 28.9% for Q1 2002. The rate for 2003 is higher than the rate in the prior year due to a higher percentage of profits being expected in higher-tax jurisdictions.

Financial Condition

 

Our financial condition remains strong. At March 29, 2003 and December 28, 2002, cash, short-term investments and fixed income instruments included in trading assets totaled $12.2 billion. At March 29, 2003, total short-term and long-term debt was $1.2 billion and represented 3.5% of stockholders’ equity. At December 28, 2002, total debt of $1.4 billion represented 3.8% of stockholders’ equity.

 

For the first quarter of 2003, cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 billion ($1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2002). Cash was provided by net income adjusted for non-cash related items. Working capital uses of cash included an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued compensation and benefits. Accounts receivable increased seasonally over December 2002 levels, primarily due to a higher proportion of sales occurring toward the end of the current quarter. The days’ sales outstanding also increased from December 2002 but decreased slightly compared to the first quarter of 2002. Our three largest customers accounted for approximately 40% of net revenue for the first quarter of 2003. Additionally, these three largest customers accounted for approximately 40% of net accounts receivable at March 29, 2003. Accrued compensation and benefits decreased during the quarter as we paid year-end bonuses and made the annual cash contributions to our profit sharing plans.

 

We used $927 million in net cash for investing activities during the first quarter of 2003, compared to $2.1 billion during the first quarter of 2002, as capital expenditures decreased to $954 million in the first quarter of 2003 from $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2002. We continued to invest in capital equipment and construction, primarily for additional microprocessor manufacturing capacity, but at a lower rate than in the same quarter for the prior year.

 

We used $1.1 billion in net cash for financing activities in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $853 million in the first quarter of 2002. The major financing uses of cash in both periods were for the repurchase of shares and payment of dividends. In the first quarter of 2003, we purchased 62.6 million shares of common stock for $1.0 billion and paid dividends of $131 million, with similar amounts paid in the same quarter of the prior year. Debt repayments primarily reflect payment of balances related to securities lending transactions. Financing sources of cash during the first quarter of 2003 were primarily $233 million in proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to employee stock plans ($289 million during the first quarter of 2002).

 

Another potential source of liquidity is authorized borrowings, including commercial paper, of $3.0 billion. Maximum borrowings under our commercial paper program during the first three months of 2003 were approximately $30 million, although no commercial paper was outstanding at the end of the period. We also maintain the ability to offer an aggregate of approximately $1.4 billion in debt, equity and other securities under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shelf registration statements.

 

We believe that we have the financial resources needed to meet our business requirements for the next twelve months, including capital expenditures for the expansion or upgrading of worldwide manufacturing capacity, working capital requirements, the dividend program and potential future acquisitions or strategic investments.

Employee Stock Options

 

Our stock option program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. The program currently consists of two plans: one under which officers, key employees and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of our stock, and a broad-based plan under which options may be granted to all employees other than officers and directors. Substantially all of our employees participate in one of the plans. Options granted by the company expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Currently, options granted to existing and newly hired employees generally vest in increments over 4 or 5 years from the date of grant, and certain grants to key employees have delayed vesting generally beginning 6 years from the date of grant.

 

We have a goal to keep the potential incremental dilution related to our option program to a long-term average of less than 2% annually. The dilution percentage is calculated using the new option grants for the year, net of options forfeited by employees leaving the company, divided by the total outstanding shares at the beginning of the year.

 

Options granted to employees, including officers, and non-employee directors from 1999 through the first three months of 2003 are summarized as follows:

For the first quarter of 2003, options granted to listed officers amounted to 28.1% of the grants made to all employees. In addition to grants made to newly hired employees, we made grants to key officers, including listed officers, and other senior-level employees in recognition of their future potential in leading the company. Subsequently, in April 2003, we granted annual merit grants to most employees, totaling 86 million shares. As a result, the grants to listed officers as a percentage of total options granted will decrease significantly on a year-to-date basis. Total options granted to the listed officers may not exceed 5% of total options granted in any year in accordance with a policy established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All stock option grants are made after a review by, and with the approval of, the Compensation Committee. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors, as defined in the applicable rules for issuers traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market*.

 

For additional information regarding stock option plans and plan activity for the first quarter of 2003 and for 2002, see “Note 3: Employee Stock Options” in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this quarterly report. Information regarding our stock option plans should be read in connection with the information appearing under the heading “Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation” in our proxy statement dated April 2, 2003.

Outlook

 

Continuing uncertainty in global economic conditions makes it particularly difficult to predict product demand. We are planning for seasonal performance in 2003, but we have the flexibility to respond quickly to an improvement in business conditions. Demand for our flash memory products is uncertain in the highly competitive cellular handset market segment. Revenue growth for WCCG is largely dependent on the trend toward higher density flash memory products and continued end-user adoption of new leading-edge cellular handsets. The outlook for the telecommunications industry continues to be weak. In this environment, revenue growth for ICG is largely dependent on our securing design wins for new products, and OEMs taking these product designs to production. For the second quarter of 2003, we expect revenue to be between $6.4 billion and $7.0 billion, compared to first quarter revenue of $6.75 billion. The midpoint of this range would be slightly down compared to the first quarter, although toward the high end of seasonal patterns.

 

Our financial results are substantially dependent on sales of microprocessors and related components by the Intel Architecture operating segment. Revenue is partly a function of the mix of microprocessor types and speeds sold as well as the mix of related chipsets and motherboards, all of which are difficult to forecast. Because of the wide price differences among performance desktop, value desktop, mobile and server microprocessors, the mix of types of microprocessors sold affects the average selling price that we will realize and has a large impact on our revenue and gross margin. Microprocessor revenue is also dependent on the availability of other parts of the system platform, including chipsets, motherboards, operating system software and application software. Revenue is also affected by our sales of other semiconductor and non-semiconductor products and is subject to the impact of economic conditions in various geographic regions.

 

We expect the gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2003 to be approximately 50%, plus or minus a couple of points, as compared to 52% in the first quarter. The midpoint of this range represents a decrease due to a combination of factors, primarily driven by higher startup costs in the second quarter and the expectation that a benefit in the first quarter from the sale of previously reserved inventory will not recur in the second quarter. For the full year of 2003, our gross margin is expected to be 51%, plus or minus a few points. Our gross margin varies, depending on unit volumes and prices, the mix of types and speeds of processors sold, and the mix of microprocessors, related chipsets and motherboards, and other semiconductor and non-semiconductor products. Variability of other factors will also continue to affect cost of sales and the gross margin percentage, including unit costs and yield issues associated with production at our factories, timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp, including the ramp of manufacturing on 300-millimeter wafers and the 90-nanometer process technology on 300mm wafers, excess of manufacturing capacity, the reusability of factory equipment, insufficient or excess inventory, inventory obsolescence and variations in inventory valuation.

 

We have significantly expanded our semiconductor manufacturing and assembly and test capacity over the last few years, and we continue to plan capacity based on the assumed continued success of our strategy and the acceptance of our products in specific market segments. We currently expect that capital spending will be between $3.5 billion and $3.9 billion in 2003, down from $4.7 billion in 2002. The reduction is primarily the result of expected improvements in capital efficiency, with an increase in effective manufacturing capacity as we transition to the larger, 300mm wafer manufacturing process, and the timing of manufacturing process technology cycles. This capital-spending plan is dependent on expectations regarding production efficiencies and delivery times of various machinery and equipment, and

 

27



 

construction schedules for new facilities. If the demand for our products does not grow and continue to move toward higher performance products in the various market segments, revenue and gross margin would be adversely affected and manufacturing capacity would be under-utilized and the rate of capital spending could be further reduced. We could be required to record an impairment of our manufacturing or assembly and test equipment and/or facilities, or factory planning decisions may cause us to record accelerated depreciation. However, in the long-term, revenue and gross margin may also be affected if we do not add capacity fast enough to meet market demand when economic conditions improve.

 

We expect depreciation expense to be approximately $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2003 and $4.8 billion for the full year 2003, lower than our original expectation of $4.9 billion for the year.

 

Spending on research and development, plus marketing, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2003 is expected to be between $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion, flat compared to the first quarter. Expenses, particularly certain marketing- and compensation-related expenses, may vary from this expectation, depending in part on the level of revenue and profits.

 

Research and development spending, is expected to be approximately $4.0 billion in 2003.

 

Based on acquisitions completed through May 2, 2003, we expect amortization of acquisition–related intangibles and costs to be approximately $80 million in the second quarter and $300 million for the full year 2003.

 

We review our acquisition-related intangible assets for impairment whenever indicators of potential impairment exist. We also review our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist. If we fail to deliver new products for ICG and WCCG, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the communications businesses fail to improve, our revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and we may incur charges for impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill.

 

We expect losses from equity securities and interest and other for the second quarter of 2003 to be a net loss of $20 million. This is primarily due to an expected net loss on equity securities and associated equity derivatives of approximately $60 million, primarily as a result of impairment charges on private equity investments, offset by expected net interest income. Our expectations for impairment charges in the second quarter are based on our experience and it is not possible to know at the present time which specific investments are likely to be impaired or the extent or timing of individual impairments. In addition, our expectations for gains or losses from equity securities and interest and other assume no unanticipated events and vary depending on equity market levels and volatility, gains or losses realized on the sale or exchange of securities, interest rates, cash balances, and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.

 

At March 29, 2003, we held non-marketable equity securities with a carrying value of $643 million. Our ability to recover our investments in non-marketable equity securities and to earn a return on these investments is primarily dependent on how successfully these companies are able to execute to their business plans and how their products are accepted, as well as their ability to obtain venture capital funding to continue operations and to grow. In the current equity market environment, their ability to obtain additional funding as well as to take advantage of liquidity events, such as initial public offerings, mergers and private sales, is significantly constrained. As the equity markets have declined significantly over the past two years, we have experienced substantial impairments in our portfolio of non-marketable equity securities. If equity market conditions do not improve, as companies within our portfolio attempt to raise additional funds, the funds may not be available to them, or they may receive lower valuations, with more onerous investment terms than in previous financings, and the investments will likely become impaired.

 

28



 

We currently expect our tax rate for 2003 to be approximately 30.5%. This estimate is based on current tax law, the current expected income, and the expected distribution of income among various tax jurisdictions, and is subject to change. Future acquisitions and/or divestitures could have a significant impact on the effective tax rate.

 

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction prohibiting Intel from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of that period or future periods. Management believes that, given our current liquidity and cash and investment balances, even an adverse judgment would not have a material impact on cash and investments or liquidity.

 

We operate globally with sales offices and research and development activities as well as manufacturing and assembly and test in many countries; and so we are subject to risks and factors associated with doing business outside the United States. Global operations involve inherent risks that include currency controls and fluctuations, tariff, import and other related restrictions and regulations. If terrorist activity, armed conflict, civil or military unrest or political instability occurs in the United States, Israel or other locations (such as the situation in Iraq), such events may disrupt manufacturing, assembly and test, logistics, security and communications, and could also result in reduced demand for Intel’s products. Major health concerns, such as the spread of the SARS illness, could also adversely affect our business and our customer order patterns. We could also be affected if labor issues disrupt our transportation arrangements or those of our customers or suppliers. On a worldwide basis, we regularly review our key infrastructure, systems, services and suppliers both internally and externally, to seek to identify significant vulnerabilities as well as areas of potential business impact if a disruptive event were to occur. Once identified, we assess the risks, and as we consider it to be appropriate, we initiate actions intended to minimize the risks and their potential impact. However, there can be no assurance that we have identified all significant risks or that we can mitigate all identified risks with reasonable effort.

 

Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this “Outlook” section, and in our “Strategy”, “Critical Accounting Estimates” and “Employee Stock Options” sections, involve a number of risks and uncertainties—in particular the statements regarding our goals and strategies, expectations regarding grants to listed officers as a percentage of total options granted, new product introductions, plans to cultivate new businesses, market segment share and growth rate assumptions, future economic conditions and recovery in the communications businesses, revenue, pricing, gross margin and costs, capital spending, depreciation and amortization, research and development expenses, potential impairment of investments, the tax rate and pending legal proceedings. In addition to various factors that we have discussed above, a number of other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Demand for our products, which impacts our revenue and gross margin percentage, is affected by business and economic conditions, as well as computing and communications industry trends and the development and timing of introduction of compelling software applications and operating systems that take advantage of the features of our products. Demand for our products is also affected by changes in customer order patterns, such as changes in the levels of inventory maintained by our customers and the timing of customer purchases. Revenue and gross margin could also be affected by competitive factors, such as competing chip architectures and manufacturing technologies, competing software-compatible microprocessors and acceptance of new products in specific market segments, and pricing pressures. Our future revenue is also dependent on continuing technological advancement, including developing and implementing new processes and strategic products, as well as sustaining and growing new businesses and integrating and operating any acquired businesses. Our results could also be affected by changes in the effective tax rate, as well as adverse affects associated with product defects and errata (deviations from published specifications) and by litigation involving intellectual property, stockholder, consumer and other issues.

 

We believe that we have the product offerings, facilities, personnel, and competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future revenue, costs, margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.

Status of Business Outlook and Scheduled Business Update

 

We expect that our corporate representatives will meet privately during the quarter with investors, investment analysts, the media and others, and may reiterate the Business Outlook published in this Form 10-Q. At the same time, we will keep this Form 10-Q and Outlook publicly available on our Investor Relations Web site (www.intc.com). Prior to the Business Update and related Quiet Periods (described below), the public can continue to rely on the Outlook published on the Web site as representing our current expectations on matters covered, unless we publish a notice stating otherwise.

 

We intend to publish a Mid-Quarter Business Update on June 5, 2003. From the close of business on May 30, 2003 until publication of the Update, we will observe a “Quiet Period” during which the Outlook and our filings with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q should be considered historical, speaking as of prior to the Quiet Period only and not subject to update. During the Quiet Period, our representatives will not comment on the Outlook or our financial results or expectations.

 

A Quiet Period operating in similar fashion with regard to the Business Update and our SEC filings will begin at the close of business on June 13, 2003 and will extend until the day when our next quarterly Earnings Release is published, presently scheduled for July 15, 2003.

 

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on financial market risk related to changes in interest rates, non-U.S. currency exchange rates and equity market prices in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002.

 

An adverse movement of equity market prices would have an impact on our strategic investments in non-marketable equity securities, although the impact cannot be directly quantified. Such a movement and the related underlying economic conditions would negatively affect the prospects of the companies we invest in, their ability to raise additional capital and the likelihood of our being able to realize our investments through liquidity events such as initial public offerings, mergers and private sales. At March 29, 2003, our strategic investments in non-marketable equity securities had a carrying amount of $643 million, excluding equity derivatives that are subject to mark-to-market requirements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Quarterly Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications

 

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its “disclosure controls and procedures” (Disclosure Controls), and its “internal controls and procedures for financial reporting” (Internal Controls). The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

 

Immediately following the Signatures section of this Quarterly Report are certifications of the CEO and the CFO, which are required in accord with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). This Controls and Procedures section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

 

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

 

Disclosure Controls are procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Scope of the Controls Evaluation

 

The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the company’s implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the controls evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, controls problems or acts of fraud and confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CFO, concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Internal Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by our Internal Audit Department and by other personnel in our Finance organization, as well as our independent auditors who evaluate them in connection with determining their auditing procedures related to their report on our annual financial statements and not to provide assurance on our Internal Controls. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls, and to modify them as necessary; our intent is to maintain the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

 

31



 

Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” in the company’s Internal Controls, and whether the company had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel with a significant role in the company’s Internal Controls. This information was important both for the controls evaluation generally, and because items 5 and 6 in the certifications of the CEO and CFO require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Board’s Audit Committee and to our independent auditors, and report on related matters in this section of the Quarterly Report. In the professional auditing literature, “significant deficiencies” are referred to as “reportable conditions,” which are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. Auditing literature defines “material weakness” as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and the risk that such misstatements would not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the controls evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accordance with our ongoing procedures.

 

From the date of the controls evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Conclusions

 

Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to Intel and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our Internal Controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PART II - - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We currently are a party to various legal proceedings, including those noted below. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction prohibiting Intel from selling one or more products. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the net income of the period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

 

Broadcom Corporation v. Intel Corporation

U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas

 

In November 2001, Broadcom Corporation filed suit against Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint alleges that certain Intel chipsets with integrated graphics infringe two Broadcom patents. A third patent relating to networking has been dismissed from the case. The court granted Intel’s motion to add counterclaims based on three related patents against Broadcom. Trial is currently set for July 2003. Broadcom seeks damages and an injunction against Intel to prohibit Intel from selling certain chipsets with integrated graphics and motherboards incorporating such chipsets. Intel seeks damages and an injunction against Broadcom to prohibit Broadcom from selling certain switch-on-a-chip products and certain Gigabit transceivers and controllers. The company disputes the plaintiff’s claims and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

 

Intergraph Corporation v. Intel

U.S. District Court, Northern District of Alabama, Northeastern Division

U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas

 

In 1997, Intergraph Corporation filed suit in Federal District Court in Alabama, generally alleging, among other claims, that Intel infringed certain Intergraph patents. In August 2001, Intergraph filed a second suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that the Intel® Itanium® processor infringes two Intergraph microprocessor-related patents, and seeking an injunction and unspecified damages. In April 2002, Intel and Intergraph announced that they entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to settle the Alabama lawsuit and dismiss it with prejudice.

 

In October 2002, the Texas court ruled that Intel infringed both patents at issue in that case. Based on this decision and pursuant to the settlement agreement, Intel paid Intergraph $150 million. Intel has appealed the trial court’s decision, and if Intel prevails on appeal, no further payments will be due to Intergraph under the settlement agreement. However, if Intergraph prevails on either patent, the settlement agreement provides that Intel must pay Intergraph an additional $100 million and will receive a license for the patents at issue in the case.

Edward Harris, et al v. Intel Corporation, et al

U.S. District Court, Northern California

 

In May 2000, various plaintiffs filed a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14d-10 in connection with Intel’s acquisition of DSP Communications, Inc. The complaint alleges that Intel and CWC (Intel’s wholly owned subsidiary at the time) agreed to pay certain DSP executives additional consideration of $15.6 million not offered or paid to other stockholders. The alleged purpose of this payment to the insiders was to obtain DSP executives’ endorsement of Intel’s tender offer in violation of the anti-discrimination provision of Section 14(d)(7) and Rule 14d-10. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for the class, and unspecified costs and expenses. In July 2002, the District Court granted Intel’s motion for summary judgment, but in October 2002, the District Court vacated the summary judgment. In January 2003, the parties reached a tentative settlement agreement pending court review and approval. The settlement is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

VIA Technologies, Inc. and Centaur Technology, Inc. v. Intel

U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas

 

In September 2001, VIA Technologies, Inc. and Centaur Technology, Inc. sued Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, alleging that the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor infringes a VIA microprocessor-related patent. In October 2001, Intel filed counterclaims against VIA, asserting that VIA’s C3* microprocessors infringe Intel patents. In January 2002, VIA amended its complaint to allege that Intel’s Pentium® II, Pentium® III, Celeron® and Pentium® 4 processors infringe another patent. In August 2002, Intel added an additional claim that VIA’s C3 microprocessors infringe an additional Intel patent, and VIA added an additional claim that Intel’s Pentium III and Pentium 4 processors infringe another VIA patent. In April 2003, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to dismiss with prejudice the claims and counterclaims in this lawsuit, and to dismiss all other pending legal claims between them in all jurisdictions. The confidential settlement agreement includes a patent cross-license agreement covering certain of each company’s products, subject to certain terms and limitations. The settlement agreement did not have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In re Intel Corporation Securities Litigation (Consolidated), U.S. Dist. Ct., Northern Calif.

Dr. Jayant S. Patel, et al. v. Gordon Moore, et al., Calif. Superior Ct., Santa Clara County

Howard Lasker, et al. v. Gordon Moore, et al., Del. Chancery Ct., New Castle County

 

In September, October and November 2001, various plaintiffs filed five class-action lawsuits against Intel alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The five complaints were consolidated in an amended complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The amended complaint alleges that purchasers of Intel stock between July 19, 2000 and September 29, 2000 were misled by false and misleading statements by Intel and certain of its officers and directors concerning the company’s business and financial condition. In October 2002, the U.S. District Court granted Intel’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint without prejudice, and the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in November 2002.

 

In addition, various plaintiffs filed stockholder derivative complaints in California Superior Court and Delaware Chancery Court against the company’s directors and certain officers, alleging that they mismanaged the company and otherwise breached their fiduciary obligations to the company. In May 2002, the California Superior Court sustained Intel’s demurrer to the California complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint, which they then filed. The company filed a demurrer to the amended complaint, which the court sustained without prejudice to the plaintiffs filing a third amended complaint, which the plaintiffs have filed. All complaints seek unspecified damages. The company disputes the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

 

34



 

Deanna Neubauer et al. v. Intel Corporation, Gateway Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. and HPDirect, Inc.,

Third Judicial Circuit Court, Madison County, Illinois

 

In June 2002, various plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Third Judicial Circuit Court, Madison County, Illinois against Intel, Hewlett-Packard Co., HPDirect, Inc. and Gateway Inc., alleging that defendants’ advertisements and statements misled the public by suppressing and concealing the alleged material fact that systems that use the Intel Pentium 4 processor are less powerful and slower than systems using the Intel Pentium III processor and a competitor’s processors. The plaintiffs claim that their lawsuit should be treated as a nationwide class action. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The company disputes the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

1.                                       On March 25, 2003, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to Intel’s bylaws to revise the provision addressing the rights of directors, officers, employees and other agents of the company to receive indemnification for claims made against them while acting on behalf of the company. The amendments clarify and broaden the scope of proceedings for which indemnification is explicitly available under the bylaws, and clarify that service with respect to an employee benefit plan is not necessarily required to be “at the request of the corporation.” The amendments also clarified that an action to enforce rights to indemnification under the bylaws must be brought in a Delaware court.

SECOND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

OF

 

INTEL CORPORATION

(c)  When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 5Quorum and Voting.

 

(a)  At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  Shares, the voting of which at said meeting have been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be lawfully voted at such meeting, shall not be counted to determine a quorum at said meeting.  In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.  The stockholders present at a duly called or convened 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.

(b)  Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation at or before the meeting at which it is to be used.  Said proxy so appointed need not be a stockholder.  No proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Nothing contained in Section 219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation.  In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation.  If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.  If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder, and (b) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission.  The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed.  Except to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Board of Directors, no consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

 

(c)  Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

 

(d)  Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the corporation in the manner required by this section.

(f)  For purposes of this section, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 9, 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(g)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 9.  Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Indemnification of

Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents

 

Section 1Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (as a party, witness, or otherwise), in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry, administrative or legislative hearing, investigation or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, including any and all appeals, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation (including service with respect to employee benefit plans) or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether the basis of the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent (hereafter an “Agent”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted (but, in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto) against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, and any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed on any Agent as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Article) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding (hereinafter “Expenses”); provided, however, that except as to actions to enforce indemnification rights pursuant to Section 3 of this Article, the corporation shall indemnify any Agent seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the Proceeding (or

 

17



 

part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right.

 

Section 2Authority to Advance Expenses.  Expenses incurred by an officer or director (acting in his capacity as such) in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, provided, however, that if required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, such Expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article or otherwise.  Expenses incurred by other Agents of the corporation (or by the directors or officers not acting in their capacity as such, including service with respect to employee benefit plans) may be advanced upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.  Any obligation to reimburse the corporation for Expense advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

 

Section 3Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit, in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state of Delaware, against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense (including attorneys’ fees) of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed.  The burden of proving such a defense shall be on the corporation.  Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 4Provisions Nonexclusive.  The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.  To the extent that any provision of the Certificate, agreement, or vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors is inconsistent with these Bylaws, the provision, agreement, or vote shall take precedence.

 

18



 

Section 5Authority to Insure.  The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any Agent against any Expense, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the Agent against such Expense under applicable law or the provisions of this Article.

 

Section 6Survival of Rights.  The rights provided by this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

 

Section 7Settlement of Claims.  The corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any Agent under this Article (a) for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (b) for any judicial award if the corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action.

 

Section 8Effect of Amendment.  Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any Agent existing at the time of such amendment, repeal, or modification.

 

Section 9Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Article, the corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Agent, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

Section 10No Duplication of Payments.  The corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Agent to the extent the Agent has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

 

ARTICLE X

 

Notices

 

(a)  Whenever, under any provisions of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, the same shall be given in writing, either (a) timely and duly deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the stockholder’s last known post office address as shown by the stock record of the corporation or its transfer agent or (b) by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given, except to the extent prohibited by Section 232(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Any consent to receive notice by electronic transmission shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation.  Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the

 

19



 

corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

 

(b)  Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method hereinabove stated.  Any such notice, other than one which is delivered personally, shall be sent to such post office address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary of the corporation, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known post office address of such director.  It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all directors, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

 

(c)  If no post office address of a stockholder or director be known, such notice may be sent to the office of the corporation required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2 of Article I hereof.  An affidavit executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name and post office address or the names and post office addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same (or, for any stockholder or director to whom notice has been directed by electronic transmission, the form of electronic transmission and the facsimile number, electronic mail address or other location to which such notice was directed and the time at which such notice was directed to each such director or stockholder), shall be prima facie evidence of the statements therein contained.

 

(d)  All notices given by mail, as above provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing.  All notices given to stockholders by a form of electronic transmission, as above provided, shall be deemed to have been given: (a) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (c) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice; and (d) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.  All notices given to directors by a form of electronic transmission, as above provided, shall be deemed to have been given when directed to the electronic mail address, facsimile number, or other location filed in writing by the director with the Secretary of the corporation.

 

(e)  The period or limitation of time within which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any director may exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege,

 

20



 

pursuant to any notice sent him in the manner above provided, shall not be affected or extended in any manner by the failure of such a stockholder or such director to receive such notice.

 

(f)  Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing given by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

 

(g)  Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person.  Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given.  In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

 

(h)  Whenever notice is to be given to the corporation by a stockholder under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, such notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation.  If delivered by electronic mail or facsimile, the stockholder’s notice shall be directed to the Secretary at the electronic mail address or facsimile number, as the case may be, specified in the company’s most recent proxy statement.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

Amendments

 

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws may be repealed, altered or amended or new Bylaws adopted by written consent of the stockholders in the manner authorized by Section 8 of Article II, or at any meeting of the stockholders, either annual or special, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stock entitled to vote at such meeting.  The Board of Directors shall also have the authority to repeal, alter or amend these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws (including, without limitation, the amendment of any Bylaws setting forth the number of directors who shall constitute the whole Board of Directors) by unanimous written consent or at any annual, regular, or special meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole number of directors, subject to the power of the stockholders to change or repeal such Bylaws and provided that the Board of Directors shall not make or alter any Bylaws fixing the qualifications, classifications, term of office or compensation of directors.

Exhibit 10.1

 

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into, effective as of                       , between INTEL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and                                                                  (“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director and/or officer of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and other claims currently being asserted against directors and officers of corporations; and

 

WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee’s continued and effective service to the Company, and in order to induce Indemnitee to provide services to the Company as a director or officer, the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and of Indemnitee’s continuing to serve the Company directly or, at its request, with another enterprise, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Certain Definitions:

 

(a)           Board:  the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

(b)           Change in Control:  shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities, or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve

 

1



 

a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

(h)           Proceeding:  any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry, administrative or legislative hearing, investigation or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, including any and all appeals, whether conducted by the Company or any other party, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or other, and in each case whether or not commenced prior to the date of this Agreement, that relates to an Indemnifiable Event.

 

(i)            Reviewing Party:  the person or body appointed in accordance with Section 3.

 

(j)            Voting Securities:  any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors.

 

2.             Agreement to Indemnify.

 

(a)           General Agreement.  In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses, liability or loss, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, and any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted (but in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto).  The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute.

 

(b)           Initiation of Proceeding.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; (ii) the Proceeding is one to enforce indemnification rights under Section 5; or (iii) the Proceeding is instituted after a Change in Control.

 

3



 

(c)           Expense Advances.  If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an “Expense Advance”) within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding.  Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement.  The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances solely upon the execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement.  If Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, as provided in Section 4, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed).  Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

 

(d)           Mandatory Indemnification.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

 

(e)           Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

3.             Reviewing Party.

 

(a)           Prior to any Change in Control, the person, persons or entity (“the Reviewing Party”) who shall determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification in the first instance shall be (a) the Board of Directors of the Company acting by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum of the Board of Directors; (b) a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; or (c) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel (as described below in Section 3(b)) in a written determination to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.

 

4



 

(b)           After a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Counsel referred to below.  With respect to all matters arising from a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority of the directors on the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek legal advice only from Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has not otherwise performed services for the Company or the Indemnitee (other than in connection with indemnification matters) within the last five years.  The Independent Counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.  Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee should be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of Independent Counsel pursuant hereto.

 

4.             Indemnification Process and Appeal.

 

(a)           Indemnification Payment.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification of Expenses, and shall receive payment thereof, from the Company in accordance with this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days after Indemnitee has made written demand on the Company for indemnification (which written demand shall include such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification), unless the Reviewing Party has provided a written determination to the Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law.  The Reviewing Party making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall notify Indemnitee of such written determination no later than two (2) business days thereafter.

 

(b)           Suit to Enforce Rights.  If (i) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made within thirty (30) calendar days after Indemnitee has made a demand in accordance with Section 4(a), (ii) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 4(a) is not made within thirty (30) calendar days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, (iii) the Reviewing Party determines pursuant to Section 4(a) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (iv) Indemnitee has not received advancement of Expenses within thirty (30) calendar days after making such a request in accordance with Section 2(c), then Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its indemnification rights under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware seeking an initial determination by the court or

 

5



 

challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof.  The Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.  Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by the Indemnitee on or before the first anniversary of the date of the Reviewing Party’s determination shall be binding on the Company and Indemnitee.  The remedy provided for in this Section 4 shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Indemnitee in law or equity.

 

(c)           Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof, and Presumptions.

 

(i)  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification (or advancement of expenses) hereunder, the Reviewing Party shall presume that an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (or advancement of expenses) under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by the Reviewing Party of any determination contrary to that presumption.

 

(ii)  It shall be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to enforce this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

 

(iii)  In connection with any action brought pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall be on the Company.

 

(iv)  Neither the failure of the Reviewing Party or the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action by Indemnitee that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be admissible as evidence in any such action for any purpose.

 

(v)  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

 

6



 

5.             Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing Rights.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance such Expenses to Indemnitee on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any claim asserted against or action brought by Indemnitee for

 

(i)            enforcement of this Agreement,

 

(ii)           indemnification of Expenses or Expense Advances by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, and/or

 

(iii)          recovery under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company.

 

6.             Notification and Defense of Proceeding.

 

(a)           Notice.  Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee, except as provided in Section 13(c).

 

(b)           Defense.  With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense and except as otherwise provided below, to the extent the Company so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.  After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Proceeding, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.  Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in such Proceeding, but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from the company of its assumption of the defense shall be at Indemnitee’s expense unless:  (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the defense of the Proceeding, (iii) after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel, or (iv) the Company shall not within sixty (60) calendar days in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which case all Expenses of the Proceeding shall be borne by the Company; and (v) if the Company has selected counsel to represent Indemnitee and other current and former directors and officers of the Company in the defense of a Proceeding, and a majority of such persons, including Indemnitee, reasonably object to such counsel selected by the Company pursuant to this Section 6(b), then such persons, including Indemnitee, shall be permitted to employ

one (1) additional counsel of their choice and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company; provided, however, that such counsel shall be chosen from amongst the list of counsel, if any, approved by any company with which the Company obtains or maintains insurance.  In the event separate counsel is retained by an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall cooperate with Indemnitee with respect to the defense of the Proceeding, including making documents, witnesses and other reasonable information related to the defense available to the Indemnitee and such separate counsel pursuant to joint-defense agreements or confidentiality agreements, as appropriate.  The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in (ii) above.

 

(c)           Settlement of Claims.  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the Company shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.  The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent.  Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action; the Company’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Proceeding by the Company was barred by this Agreement.

 

7.             Establishment of Trust.  In the event of a Change in Control or a Potential Change in Control, the Company shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a Trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request to be incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, participating in, and/or defending any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event.  The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by the Reviewing Party.  The terms of the Trust shall provide that upon a Change in Control, (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (ii) the Trustee shall advance, within ten business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the same circumstances for which the Indemnitee would be required to reimburse the Company under Section 2(c) of this Agreement), (iii) the Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above, (iv) the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by the Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that the Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall be chosen by the

Indemnitee.  Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  All income earned on the assets held in the Trust shall be reported as income by the Company for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes. The Company shall pay all costs of establishing and maintaining the Trust and shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of  or relating to this Agreement or the establishment and maintenance of the Trust.

 

8.             Non-Exclusivity.  The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the laws of the State of Delaware, the Company’s articles of incorporation, by-laws, applicable law, or otherwise.  To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company’s articles of incorporation, by-laws, applicable law, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.

 

9.             Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ or officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer.

 

10.           Period of Limitations.  No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required or permitted by federal or state law under the circumstances.  Any claim or cause of action of the Company or its affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action the shorter period shall govern.

 

11.           Amendment of this Agreement.  No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.  Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.

 

12.           Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

13.           No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, by law, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

 

14.           Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.  The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director or officer of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

 

15.           Severability.  If any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, void, or unenforceable.

 

16.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.

 

17.           Notices.  All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt, or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the Company at:
