Item 1.                  Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

On December 19, 2007, Electronic Clearing House, Inc. (“ECHO”) and OTR, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Rights Agent”) entered into Amendment Number Four to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”).  The Fourth Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) dated January 29, 2003 by and between ECHO and the Rights Agent, as amended by Amendment Number One to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (“First Amendment”) dated September 27, 2004, Amendment Number Two to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (“Second Amendment”) dated December 14, 2006, and Amendment Number Three to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (“Third Amendment”) dated April 24, 2007.

Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, as amended, the Board of Directors of ECHO authorized, declared and distributed, on each of September 30, 1996 and January 29, 2003, respectively, a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (the “Rights”) for each share of Common Stock of ECHO outstanding at each of those dates.  The Rights declared on September 30, 1996 expired on September 30, 2006.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 19, 2007 ("Merger Agreement"), by and among Intuit Inc. ("Intuit"), Elan Acquisition Corporation, and ECHO, ECHO entered into the Fourth Amendment to (i) revise the definition of “Acquiring Person” to exempt Intuit and Elan Acquisition Corporation, its wholly-owned merger subsidiary, therefrom, and (ii) amend specified provisions of the Amended Agreement so that they would not be affected by the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as described above.
 
A copy of the Amended Agreement may be found as an exhibit to ECHO’s amended Form 8-A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2003.  A copy of the First Amendment may be found as an exhibit to ECHO’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2004.  A copy of the Second Amendment may be found as Exhibit 4.3 to ECHO’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2006.  A copy of the Third Amendment may be found as Exhibit 4.3 to ECHO’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2007.  A copy of the Fourth Amendment may be found as Exhibit 4.5 to ECHO’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2007.
