PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

2,854,070 Shares

ACI Worldwide, Inc.

Common Stock

International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and its permitted successors and assigns, which we collectively refer to as selling stockholders, may offer from time to time all of the shares of common stock described in this prospectus. The shares are issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to the selling stockholders (the “warrant shares”). We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the warrant shares by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders may sell the warrant shares described in this prospectus from time to time in a number of different ways and at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. We provide more information about how the selling stockholders may sell their warrant shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page 9. We will bear the costs of the registration of the warrant shares but we will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in this offering.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select National Market under the symbol “ACIW.” The closing market price of our common stock on July 14, 2010 was $19.23 per share.

     An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, we recommend that you carefully read this entire prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” included in our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

     Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

     You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement hereto. We have not authorized, and the selling stockholders may not authorize, any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and the selling stockholders are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospectus may have changed since that date.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

     This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on behalf of the selling stockholders using a “shelf” registration or continuous offering process. Under this shelf registration process, the selling stockholders may from time to time until the registration statement is withdrawn from registration by us, sell the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus in one or more offerings.

     This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that the selling stockholders may offer. To the extent required, the number of shares of our common stock to be sold, the purchase price, the public offering price, the names of any agent or dealer and any applicable commission or discount with respect to a particular offering by any selling stockholder may be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information described in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

     To the extent permitted by applicable law, rules or regulations, we may add, update or change the information contained in this prospectus by means of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, through filings we make with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus or by another method as may then be permitted under applicable law, rules or regulations.

     You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus or any related prospectus supplement, including the content of all documents now or in the future incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The selling stockholders may not authorize anyone to provide you with different information. We are not, and the selling stockholders are not, making an offer of the shares of our common stock to be sold under this prospectus in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus or any related prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front cover of this prospectus or the related prospectus supplement, or that the information contained in any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the document incorporated by reference. Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise such information, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.

     As used in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement, except as otherwise specified, all references to “ACI,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar references are to ACI Worldwide, Inc. a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and include words or phrases such as “management anticipates,” “we believe,” “we anticipate,” “we expect,” “we plan,” “we will,” “we are well positioned,” and words and phrases of similar impact, and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future operations, business strategy, business environment and key trends, as well as statements related to our organizational restructuring activities. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus may turn out to be incorrect. They may be based on inaccurate assumptions or may not account for known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement is guaranteed, and our actual future results may vary materially from the results expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or any prospectus supplement expressly qualify all of our forward-looking statements. In addition, we are not obligated, and do not intend, to update any of our forward-looking statements at any time unless an update is required by applicable securities laws.

     You should understand that the risks, uncertainties, factors and assumptions listed and discussed in this prospectus, including, but not limited to, the following important factors and assumptions, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:

USE OF PROCEEDS

     We are registering the warrant shares pursuant to the registration rights granted to the selling stockholders in connection with the December 16, 2007 grant of two warrants representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 2,854,070 shares of common stock. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from sales of the warrant shares sold from time to time under this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

     There are two warrants that are the subject of this prospectus. Each warrant is exercisable for up to 1,427,035 shares of common stock. One warrant is exercisable at the initial exercise price of $33.00 per share, and the other warrant is exercisable at the initial exercise price of $27.50 per share, with each such exercise price subject to adjustment upon certain events. Both warrants were exercisable upon issuance on December 16, 2007 and will expire at the close of business on December 16, 2012. Upon any exercise of the warrants, the selling stockholders would pay us the exercise price of the warrants, which would be used for general corporate purposes.

     We have agreed to pay all expenses relating to registering the warrant shares referenced in this prospectus. The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and selling commissions incurred for the sale of such warrant shares.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     We initially issued warrants for the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus to IBM and its permitted successors and assigns(collectively, the “selling stockholders”) on December 16, 2007 in connection with the Alliance. We are registering the warrant shares pursuant to registration rights granted in connection with the initial grant of the warrants. IBM’s principal executive offices are located at 1 New Orchard Road, Armonk, New York 10504.

     We are registering all 2,854,070 warrant shares on behalf of the selling stockholders. The warrants shall not be transferable by the selling stockholders other than to a subsidiary of the selling stockholders.

     No offer or sale under this prospectus may be made by a holder of our common stock until that holder has notified us and, if required, we have filed a supplement to this prospectus or an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part has become effective. We will supplement or amend this prospectus to include additional selling stockholders upon request and upon provision of all required information to us. We will provide to each named selling stockholder copies of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and will take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the shares of common stock offered hereby. A holder that sells shares by means of this prospectus will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights provisions of the warrant agreement that are applicable to such a holder (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

     The selling stockholders may offer and sell any or all of their warrant shares at any time and from time to time. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion or none of their warrant shares, we cannot estimate the amount or percentage of common stock that the selling stockholders will hold upon termination of the offering.

     No selling stockholder has held any position, office or other material relationship with us or our predecessors or affiliates during the past three years other than as disclosed in this prospectus with respect to the Alliance.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We are registering the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these warrant shares by the holders of the warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the warrant shares.

     The warrant shares may not be transferred by the selling stockholders (other than to a subsidiary) until 31 days after the acquisition of warrant shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant (the “Transfer Date”). Following the applicable Transfer Date, the selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the warrant shares from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the warrant shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or selling commissions. The warrant shares may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

	•		ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	•		block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	•		purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	•		an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
	•		privately negotiated transactions;
	•		settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
	•		broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
	•		through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
	•		a combination of any such methods of sale; and
	•		any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

     The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the warrant shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.

     Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling warrant shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the warrant shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will

not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

     In connection with sales of the warrant shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the warrant shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell warrant shares short and if such short sale shall take place after the date that the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, is declared effective by the SEC, the selling stockholders may deliver warrant shares to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge warrant shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of warrant shares, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the selling stockholders have been advised that they may not use warrant shares offered in this prospectus to cover short sales of our common stock made prior to the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, has been declared effective by the SEC.

     The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrant shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the warrant shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the warrant shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

     The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agents participating in the distribution of the warrant shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed, to any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

     Each selling stockholder has informed us that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the warrant shares. Upon our being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of warrant shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of warrant shares involved, (iii) the price at which such warrant shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.

     Under the securities laws of some states, the warrant shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the warrant shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

     We have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all warrant shares registered hereby have been sold hereunder and (ii) receipt by the selling stockholders of an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel to us) reasonably satisfactory to the selling stockholders to the effect that all warrant shares can be sold without restriction under the Securities Act.

     There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the warrant shares registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

     Each selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the warrant shares by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the warrant shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the warrant shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the warrant shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the warrant shares.

     We will pay all expenses of the registration of the warrant shares, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that each selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the warrant agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders, in accordance with the warrant agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution. We will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in this offering.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits indemnification by a corporation of certain officers, directors, employees and agents. Consistent therewith, Article Tenth of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of ACI Worldwide, Inc. (“ACI”) provides that ACI shall, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits ACI to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted ACI to provide prior to such amendment), indemnify a director or officer of ACI or a person who is or was serving at the request of ACI as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, who was or is made (or threatened to be made) a party to or is otherwise involved in a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action suit or proceeding (an “indemnified person”). Article Tenth also provides that expenses incurred by an indemnified person will be paid in advance by ACI; provided, however, that, if the DGCL an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnified person in his or her capacity as a director or officer will be made only if ACI receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes ACI to maintain officer and director liability insurance, and such a policy is currently in effect.

     ACI has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its executive officers and certain other employees. Under the Indemnification Agreements, ACI agrees to indemnify the employee to the fullest extent permitted by law if the employee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation by reason of (or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that the employee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of ACI, or any subsidiary of ACI, or is or was serving at the request of ACI as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of the employee while serving in such capacity. ACI also agrees, to the extent the Company maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, the employee will be covered by such policies as to provide the employee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably similarly situated insured.

     The above discussion of the DGCL and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statute and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Item 22. Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

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

          b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

          c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(a), (1)(b) and (1)(c) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

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

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

     (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

          a. Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

          b. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

     (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

          a. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

          b. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

          c. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or used or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

          d. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

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

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed by ACI Worldwide, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel for ACI Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ACI”), in connection with the proposed offering and sale of up to 2,854,070 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, of ACI (the “Warrant Shares”), issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the “Warrants”) held by International Business Machines, a New York corporation, and its permitted successors and assigns (together, “IBM”) as contemplated by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to which this opinion has been filed as an exhibit (the “Registration Statement”). The Warrants were issued to IBM pursuant to (i) a Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2007, between ACI and IBM, for the purchase of 1,427,035 Warrant Shares at a purchase price of $33.00 per share and (ii) a Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2007, between ACI and IBM, for the purchase of 1,427,035 Warrant Shares at a purchase price of $27.50 per share (together, the “Warrant Agreements”). The Warrant Shares may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

          In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that he Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of ACI and, when issued upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that IBM has authorized, executed and delivered the Warrant Agreements and that the Warrant Agreements are the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of IBM.

          The opinions expressed herein are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting such law, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to Jones Day under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
