    During fiscal 2008, the semiconductor industry&#146;s growth
    declined as the overall macroeconomic environment deteriorated.
    Most industry analysts estimate minimal growth for the
    semiconductor industry for 2008, and these industry analysts are
    forecasting a significant decline in semiconductor industry
    revenue for 2009. Since consumer spending on electronics in 2008
    was also negatively impacted by higher energy costs and
    increased unemployment, and corporate spending was impacted by
    the tight credit market, electronics companies faced financial
    challenges in fiscal 2008 and may continue to face such
    challenges in fiscal 2009. Consistent with recent prior years,

    semiconductor unit volumes grew during 2008, but average selling
    prices declined. These factors, combined with the current
    macroeconomic environment, impact how electronics companies
    address the traditional challenges of cost, quality, innovation
    and time-to-market associated with highly complex electronics
    systems and IC product development. Electronics companies are
    currently requiring higher levels of productivity from their
    design teams, better predictability in their development
    schedules and higher quality products in order to be competitive
    in the challenging and price-conscious markets they serve.

    Electronics companies respond to demand for increased
    functionality and miniaturization in markets that are affected
    by the current macroeconomic environment by combining
    subsystems&#160;&#151; such as radio frequency, or RF, wireless
    communication, video signal processing and
    microprocessors&#160;&#151; onto a single silicon chip, creating
    a

    or SoC, or multiple chips into a single chip package in a format
    referred to as
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">system-in-package,</FONT>
    or SiP. These trends toward subsystem integration have required
    chip makers to find solutions to challenges previously addressed
    by system companies, such as verifying system-level
    functionality and hardware-software interoperability.

    SoC designs put many more transistors on each chip, increasing
    the need for tight control over power consumption. This is done
    not only to increase battery life in portable devices, but also
    to minimize energy cost for computing and networking equipment.
    Higher power devices generate more heat, which further increases
    both system cost as well as operating expenses for cooling.
    Evolving semiconductor manufacturing processes with smaller
    features (transistors and wires) and lower supply voltages
    address both of these issues to some degree, but introduce new
    challenges of their own. Contemporary portable electronic
    devices contain chips in which individual features can be as
    small as 45 nanometers, or 45/1,000,000ths of a millimeter.
    Because of the electrical characteristics of the materials used
    to construct the transistors, which are essentially microscopic
    switches, chips continue to consume power even when transistors
    in the device are switched off. To overcome these and other
    power-related issues, specific &#147;low power&#148; design
    techniques must be developed and are most effective if they are
    integrated throughout the design flow, from logic design and
    verification through physical implementation.

    Variability in the processes and materials used to manufacture
    silicon chips have become so pervasive at 65 nanometers and
    below that traditional connections between design and
    manufacturing teams are insufficient to ensure chip performance
    and yield. Integrating detailed models of the manufacturing
    process into the chip design environment is desirable so
    engineers can craft a design to avoid or overcome these
    manufacturing process variations. Similarly, manufacturing teams
    can optimize their processes if, along with the design, they are
    provided with information about the most critical parts of the
    chip. However, sharing information between design and
    manufacturing processes is complicated because current data
    formats used to describe the chip design differ from data
    formats used to describe the manufacturing process and control
    the manufacturing equipment. Moreover, design and manufacturing
    most often involve two or more separate companies, since
    multiple companies may participate in the design of the chip and
    in the manufacturing and assembly of the final device.

    These trends represent significant new challenges for
    electronics design processes. Specifically, product performance
    and size requirements of the mobile consumer electronics market
    require microelectronic systems to be smaller, consume less
    power and provide multiple functions all in one SoC or SiP. This
    requires designers to pay close attention to many electrical,
    physical and manufacturing effects that were inconsequential in
    previous generations of chip designs. The design challenge
    becomes more complex with each new generation of electronics and
    providers of EDA solutions must deliver products that address
    these technical challenges while improving the productivity,
    predictability and reliability of the design process.

    During fiscal 2008, we launched our Encounter Digital
    Implementation System, or EDI, in our Implementation offering.
    EDI offers RTL to graphic data system II, or GDSII, design
    closure solution with end-to-end parallel processing that
    enables design flow to benefit from current multi-core,
    multi-processor and multi-computer infrastructure. EDI is based
    on a single user interface and a unified in-memory data model,
    and is designed to facilitate chip performance analysis and
    optimization, power consumption and silicon area and
    manufacturability throughout the customers&#146; design
    processes. EDI also supports hierarchical designs, with support
    for designs containing hundreds of millions of transistors on a
    single chip. EDI is offered with the L and XL tiers and specific
    options, depending on the requirements of our customers. Current
    options include Low Power, Mixed Signal and Advanced Node. These
    tiers and options are scaled to provide our customers with
    technologies tailored to specific degrees of design complexity
    in the digital IC space.

    Our primary focus in DFM is to address manufacturing effects as

    upstream integration is not possible, Cadence offers certain
    stand alone DFM products. In connection with our cost savings
    initiatives that were implemented during the fourth quarter of
    fiscal 2008, we adjusted our roadmaps and investment consistent
    with our current DFM strategy. The changes in our DFM strategy

    We sell software using three license types: subscription, term

    specified, limited period of time will choose either a
    subscription or term license, and customers who prefer to have
    the right to use the technology continuously without time
    restriction will choose a perpetual license. Customers who
    desire to use new technology during the life of the contract
    will select a subscription license, which allows them limited
    access to unspecified new technology on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">when-and-if-available</FONT>
    basis, as opposed to a term or perpetual license, which does not
    include rights to use new technology. Payment terms for

    We offer a delivery mechanism for term and subscription licenses
    called eDA Cards. eDA cards have an overall &#147;face&#148;
    value amount that customers draw down against as they select
    specific products that are priced based on the particular
    duration of use the customer desires. The selection and
    licensing of the specific products is accomplished through an
    automated on-line system. The card expires when all of the face
    value is consumed, or on the pre-determined expiration date,
    whichever comes first. There are two types of eDA Cards. An eDA
    Gold Card is a term license that enables a customer to access a
    predetermined list of existing products. An eDA Platinum Card is
    a subscription license that enables a customer to access
    existing and new technology.

    Our revenue recognition depends on a number of contract-specific
    terms and conditions, including the license type, payment terms,
    creditworthiness of the customer and other factors. For
    additional description of our revenue recognition, see the

    Estimates&#148; under Item&#160;7, &#147;Management&#146;s
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operations,&#148; below. Revenue associated with subscription
    licenses is recognized over multiple periods during the license
    term, whereas product revenue associated with term and perpetual
    licenses is generally recognized upon the later of the effective
    date of the license or delivery of the product, assuming all
    other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The amount
    of product revenue recognized from backlog varies from quarter
    to quarter. The amount of product revenue recognized from
    backlog, as compared to total product revenue, was more than
    half during fiscal 2008 and approximately two-thirds during both
    fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. We are moving to a license mix that
    will result in increased ratable revenue and we expect the
    percentage of product revenue from backlog to increase in future
    years.

    Our revenue and results of operations may miss expectations due

    greater credit risk on subscription and term licenses, as

    Our maintenance business flows directly from our product

    business are substantially similar to those for our product
    business in that every maintenance contract is the direct result

    These companies vary greatly in focus, geographic location,
    capability, cost structure and pricing. In addition,
    manufacturers of electronic devices may be reluctant to purchase
    services from independent vendors, including us, because they
    wish to promote their own internal design departments. We
    compete with these companies by focusing on the design of

    The substantial majority of our backlog is generated by our
    product and maintenance businesses because customer licenses
    generally include both product and maintenance components.
    Historically, we have not experienced significant cancellations
    of our contracts with customers. However, we occasionally
    reschedule the required completion dates of engineering services
    contracts, which may defer revenue recognition under those
    contracts beyond the original expected completion date. Changes
    in customer license types or payment terms also can impact the
    timing of revenue recognition.

    The challenges currently affecting the economy of the United
    States and other regions of the world have impacted our
    customers, who are concentrated in the semiconductor sector, and
    may cause them to delay or default on their payment obligations,
    file for bankruptcy or modify or cancel plans to license our
    products. We have not yet experienced a material level of
    defaults by customers of payment obligations, but any material
    payment default by our customers or significant reductions in
    existing contractual commitments could adversely impact our
    financial condition and operating results.

    Historically, orders and revenue have been lowest in our first
    quarter and highest in our fourth quarter, with a material
    decline between the fourth quarter of one year and the first
    quarter of the following year. Due to the current economic
    environment and our previously announced transition to a
    primarily ratable license mix, we did not see the trend of
    higher orders and revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008
    and there can be no assurance we will experience it in the
    future. We still expect the first quarter to remain our lowest
    quarter for orders and revenue.

    2,400 in product research and development and approximately 700

    anticipation of, maturing product cycles of both these
    industries&#146; and their customers&#146; products. As in the
    past, the current economic downturn is characterized by

    Migration to nanometer design: the size of features such as
    wires, transistors and contacts on ICs continuously shrink due
    to the ongoing advances in the semiconductor manufacturing
    processes. Process feature sizes refer to the width of the
    transistors and the width and spacing of interconnect on the IC.
    Feature size is normally identified by the transistor length,
    which is shrinking rapidly to 32 nanometers and smaller. This is
    commonly referred to in the semiconductor industry as the
    migration to nanometer design. It represents a major challenge
    for participants in the semiconductor industry, from IC design
    and design automation to design of manufacturing equipment and
    the manufacturing process itself. Shrinkage of transistor length
    to such proportions is challenging the industry in the
    application of more complex physics and chemistry that is needed
    to realize advanced silicon devices. For EDA tools, models of
    each component&#146;s electrical properties and behavior become
    more complex as do requisite analysis, design and verification
    capabilities. Novel design tools and methodologies must be
    invented quickly to remain competitive in the design of
    electronics in the smallest nanometer ranges.

    We have experienced, and may continue to experience, varied

    fiscal 2009. Various factors affect our operating results and
    some of them are not within our control. Our operating results

    Our operating results are also affected by the mix of license
    types executed in any given period. We license software using
    three different license types: subscription, term and perpetual.
    Product revenue associated with term and perpetual licenses is
    generally recognized at the beginning of the license period,
    whereas product revenue associated with subscription licenses is
    recognized over multiple periods during the term of the license.
    Revenue may also be deferred under term and perpetual licenses
    until payments become due and payable from customers with
    nonlinear payment terms or as cash is collected from customers
    with lower credit ratings. In addition, revenue is impacted by
    the timing of license renewals, the extent to which contracts
    contain flexible payment terms, changes in existing contractual
    arrangements with customers and the mix of license types (i.e.,
    perpetual, term or subscription) for existing customers, which
    changes could have the effect of accelerating or delaying the
    recognition of revenue from the timing of recognition under the
    original contract. Our license mix has changed such that a
    higher proportion of licenses require ratable revenue
    recognition and we expect the change in our license mix,
    combined with the difficult economic environment, will result in
    a decrease in our revenue for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal
    2008.

    We plan operating expense levels primarily based on forecasted
    revenue levels. These expenses and the impact of long-term
    commitments are relatively fixed in the short term. In addition,
    revenue levels are harder to forecast in a difficult economic
    environment. A shortfall in revenue could lead to operating
    results below expectations because we may not be able to quickly
    reduce these fixed expenses in response to these short-term
    business changes.

    The majority of our contracts are executed in the final few
    weeks of a fiscal quarter. This makes it difficult to determine
    with accuracy how much business will be executed in each fiscal
    quarter. Due to the volume or complexity of transactions that we
    review at the very end of the quarter, or due to operational
    matters regarding particular agreements, we may not finish
    processing or ship products under some contracts that have been
    signed during that fiscal quarter, which means that the
    associated revenue cannot be recognized in that particular
    period.

    pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed
    to us, although these obligations are generally not cancelable.
    Our customers&#146; inability to fulfill payment obligations may
    adversely affect our revenue and cash flow. Additionally, our
    customers may seek to renegotiate pre-existing contractual
    commitments. Though we have not yet experienced a material level
    of defaults, any material payment default by our customers or
    significant reductions in existing contractual commitments would
    have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
    operating results. Because of the escalating challenges in the
    global capital markets and financial institutions, including a
    tightening in the capital and credit markets, if we were to seek
    funding from the capital or credit markets in response to any
    material level of customer defaults, we may not be able to
    secure funding on terms acceptable to us or at all.

    The specific performance goal levels and amounts and timing of
    employee bonuses or contingent purchase price payments vary with

    acquisition in excess of such contingent payment obligations,

    Our success depends, in part, upon our proprietary technology.
    We generally rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
    secret laws, licenses and restrictive agreements to establish
    and protect our proprietary rights in technology and products.
    Despite precautions we may take to protect our intellectual
    property, third parties have tried in the past, and may try in
    the future, to challenge, invalidate or circumvent these
    safeguards. The rights granted under our patents or attendant to
    our other intellectual property may not provide us with any
    competitive advantages and there is no guarantee that patents
    will be issued on any of our pending applications and future
    patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our technology.
    Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our
    proprietary rights in those countries to the same extent as
    applicable law protects these rights in the United States. The
    protection of our intellectual property may require the
    expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
    Litigation can be time-consuming and expensive and could divert
    management&#146;s time and attention from our business, which
    could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and
    operating results. Moreover, the steps we take to protect our
    intellectual property may not adequately protect our rights or
    prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our
    proprietary rights. Many of our products include software or
    other intellectual property licensed from third parties. We may
    have to seek new or renew existing licenses for such software

    services business holds licenses to certain software and other

    our competitors. Our failure to obtain software or other
    intellectual property licenses or other intellectual property
    rights that is necessary or helpful for our business on

    Disruptions in the financial markets have and may continue to
    adversely impact the availability and cost of financing
    transactions for the installment contract sales that we have
    already arranged or may arrange. As a result of the credit
    losses recorded by banks during 2008 and the current financial
    challenges experienced by banks, a number of banks have become
    less willing to purchase assets because of capital constraints
    and concerns about over-exposure to the technology sector. In
    addition, the change in our license mix will result in an
    increased number of subscription licenses and a decrease in the
    sale of receivables to financial institutions, so we expect a
    reduced level of Proceeds from the sale of receivables

    Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the United States
    dollar and the currencies of other countries in which we conduct
    business could seriously harm our business, operating results or
    financial condition. For example, when a foreign currency
    declines in value relative to the United States dollar, it takes
    more of the foreign currency to purchase the same amount of
    United States dollars than before the change. If we price our
    products and services in the foreign currency, we receive fewer
    United States dollars than we did before the change. If we price
    our products and services in United States dollars, the decrease
    in value of the local currency results in an increase in the
    price for our products and services compared to those products
    of our competitors that are priced in local currency. This could
    result in our prices being uncompetitive in markets where
    business is transacted in the local currency. On the other hand,
    when a foreign currency increases in value relative to the
    United States dollar, it takes more United States dollars to
    purchase the same amount of the foreign currency. As we use the
    foreign currency to pay for payroll costs and other operating
    expenses in our international operations, this results in an
    increase in operating expenses.

    The IRS and other tax authorities regularly examine our income
    tax returns. In July 2006, the IRS completed its field
    examination of our federal income tax returns for the tax years
    2000 through 2002 and issued a Revenue Agents Report, or RAR, in
    which the IRS proposed to assess an aggregate tax deficiency for
    the three-year period of approximately $324.0&#160;million. In
    November 2006, the IRS revised the proposed aggregate tax
    deficiency for the three-year period to be approximately
    $318.0&#160;million. The IRS is contesting our qualification for
    deferred recognition of certain proceeds received from
    restitution and settlement in connection with litigation during
    the period. The proposed tax deficiency for this item is
    approximately $152.0&#160;million. The remaining proposed tax

    We believe that the proposed IRS adjustments are inconsistent

    proposed adjustments. The RAR is not a final Statutory Notice of

    the IRS and have been between 4% and 10% since 2001. The IRS is

    FASB Statement No.&#160;109&#148; and SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109,
    &#147;Accounting for Income Taxes.&#148; The calculation of our
    provision for income taxes involves dealing with uncertainties
    in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. In
    determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, we
    regularly assess the potential settlement outcomes resulting
    from income tax examinations. However, the final outcome of tax
    examinations, including the total amount payable or the timing
    of any such payments upon resolution of these issues, cannot be
    estimated with certainty. In addition, we cannot be certain that
    such amount will not be materially different than that which is
    reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.
    Should the IRS or other tax authorities assess additional taxes
    as a result of a current or a future examination, we may be
    required to record charges to operations in future periods that

    Forecasts of our income tax position and resultant effective tax
    rate are complex and subject to uncertainty because our income
    tax position for each year combines the effects of estimating
    our annual income or loss, the mix of profits and losses earned
    by us and our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with a broad
    range of income tax rates, as well as benefits from available
    deferred tax assets, the impact of various accounting rules and
    changes to these rules and results of tax audits. To forecast
    our global tax rate, pre-tax profits and losses by jurisdiction
    are estimated and tax expense by jurisdiction is calculated. If
    our estimate of the pre-tax profit and losses, the mix of our
    profits and losses, our ability to use deferred tax assets, the
    results of tax audits, or effective tax rates by jurisdiction is
    different than those estimates, our actual tax rate could be

    During fiscal 2008, three complaints were filed in the United
    States District Court for the Northern District of California,
    or District Court, all alleging violations of
    Sections&#160;10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
    1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, and
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Rule&#160;10b-5</FONT>
    promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a purported class of
    purchasers of our common stock. The plaintiffs in these actions
    allege that the company and the individual defendants made
    statements during the class period regarding our financial
    results that were false and misleading because we had recognized
    revenue that should have been recognized in subsequent quarters.
    The plaintiffs requested certification of the actions as a class
    action, unspecified damages and interest, the plaintiffs&#146;
    reasonable costs, including attorneys&#146; and experts&#146;
    fees, and unspecified equitable or injunctive relief. The first
    such complaint was filed on October&#160;29, 2008, captioned
    Hu&#160;v. Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Michael J. Fister,
    William Porter and Kevin S. Palatnik; the second such complaint
    was filed on November&#160;4, 2008, captioned Vyas&#160;v.
    Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Michael J. Fister, and Kevin S.
    Palatnik; and the third such complaint was filed on
    November&#160;21, 2008, captioned Collins&#160;v. Cadence Design
    Systems, Inc., Michael J. Fister, John B. Shoven, Kevin S.
    Palatnik and William Porter. Various plaintiffs have filed
    motions seeking to be named lead plaintiff, and to have these
    complaints consolidated. Those motions are set to be heard by
    the Court on March&#160;6, 2009. We intend to vigorously defend
    these and any other securities lawsuits that may be filed.

    During fiscal 2008, two derivative complaints were filed in
    Santa&#160;Clara County Superior Court. The first was filed on
    November&#160;20, 2008, and captioned Ury Priel, derivatively on
    behalf of nominal defendant Cadence Design Systems, Inc.&#160;v.
    John B. Shoven, Lip-Bu Tan, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli,
    Donald L. Lucas,&#160;Sr., Roger Siboni, George Scalise, Michael
    J. Fister, and Doe Defendants 1-15. The second was filed on
    December&#160;1, 2008, and captioned Mark Levine, derivatively
    on behalf of nominal defendant Cadence Design Systems,
    Inc.&#160;v. John B. Shoven, Lip-Bu Tan, Alberto
    Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Donald L. Lucas,&#160;Sr., Roger
    Siboni, George Scalise, Michael J. Fister, John Swainson and Doe
    Defendants 1-10. These complaints purport to bring suit
    derivatively, on behalf of Cadence, against certain of our
    current and former directors for alleged breach of fiduciary
    duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate
    assets and unjust enrichment. Many of the allegations underlying
    these claims are similar or identical to the allegations in the
    securities class action lawsuits described above, and further
    allege that the individual defendants approved compensation
    based on inflated financial results. The plaintiffs request
    unspecified damages, restitution, equitable relief and their
    reasonable attorneys&#146; fees, experts&#146; fees, costs and
    expenses on behalf of us against the individual defendants. A
    motion to consolidate these complaints was granted on
    January&#160;20, 2009. We are analyzing these derivative
    complaints and will respond to them appropriately.

    or any other lawsuits or proceedings that may arise in the
    future will not have a material adverse effect on our business,

    The following graph compares the cumulative
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">5-year</FONT> total
    stockholder return on our common stock relative to the
    cumulative total return of the S&#038;P 500 index, the S&#038;P
    Information Technology index, the NASDAQ Composite index and the
    S&#038;P 400 Information Technology index. We plan to replace
    the S&#038;P 500 index with the S&#038;P 400 Information
    Technology index as a comparative index going forward because we
    believe that a comparison of our performance against the
    S&#038;P 400 Information Technology index is a more appropriate
    performance measure for Cadence, as this index is focused on
    mid-cap technology companies. We will retain the NASDAQ
    Composite index going forward rather than the S&#038;P 500 index
    as a broadly market focused index because Cadence is listed on
    the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

    measurement of an income tax position taken or expected to be
    taken in a tax return. The cumulative effect of applying the

    Recognition,&#148; below. Substantially all of our revenue is
    generated from IC manufacturers and designers and electronics
    systems companies and is dependent upon their commencement of
    new design projects. As a result, our revenue is significantly
    influenced by our customers&#146; business outlook and
    investment in the introduction of new products and the
    improvement of existing products.

    The IC, electronics systems and semiconductor industries are
    currently experiencing significant challenges, primarily due to
    a deteriorating macroeconomic environment, which is
    characterized by diminished product demand, production
    overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of
    average selling prices. As a result of this downturn, some of
    our customers faced financial challenges in fiscal 2008 and may
    continue to face such challenges in fiscal 2009. It is unclear
    when the macroeconomic environment may improve. We are seeing
    increasing pressures on our customers&#146; research and
    development budgets, and therefore our customers are looking for
    more flexibility in the type of software and hardware products
    they purchase and how and when they purchase them. The current
    economic downturn in our customers&#146; industries has
    contributed to the substantial reduction in our revenue and
    could continue to harm our business, operating results and
    financial condition.

    Facing uncertainty and cost pressures in their own businesses,
    some of our customers are waiting to purchase our products and
    are increasingly seeking purchasing terms and conditions that
    are less favorable to us. As a result of this trend, we
    experienced lower business levels for fiscal 2008 and we have
    forecasted lower business levels for fiscal 2009. We recognized
    a net loss for fiscal 2008 and we expect to recognize a net loss
    for fiscal 2009. To enable us to keep our focus on the value of
    our technology and to assist with customer demands, we are
    transitioning to a license mix that will provide our customers
    with greater flexibility and will result in a higher portion of
    our revenue being recognized ratably.

    We plan operating expense levels primarily based on forecasted
    revenue levels. To offset some of the impact of our expected
    decrease in revenue, we have implemented cost savings
    initiatives, including reducing headcount, decreasing employee
    bonuses and reducing other discretionary spending. During fiscal
    2008, we initiated a restructuring plan to improve our operating
    results and to align our cost structure with expected revenue.
    This restructuring plan is intended to decrease costs by
    reducing our workforce throughout the company by at least
    625&#160;positions. We expect ongoing annual savings of
    approximately $150.0&#160;million related to this restructuring
    plan.

    With the addition of emerging nanometer design considerations to
    the already burgeoning set of traditional design tasks, complex
    SoC or IC design can no longer be accomplished using a
    collection of discrete design tools. What previously consisted
    of sequential design activities must be merged and accomplished
    nearly simultaneously without time-consuming data translation
    steps. We combine our design technologies into
    &#147;platforms&#148; addressing four major design activities:
    functional verification, digital IC design, custom IC design and
    system interconnect design. The four Cadence design platforms
    are Incisive functional verification, Encounter digital IC
    design, Virtuoso custom design and Allegro system interconnect
    design platforms. In addition, we augment these platform product
    offerings with a set of DFM products that service both the
    digital and custom IC design flows. These four platforms,
    together with our DFM products, comprised our primary product
    lines during fiscal 2008. In connection with our cost savings
    initiatives that were implemented during the fourth quarter of
    fiscal 2008, we made certain changes to our DFM product
    strategy, including focusing on integrating DFM awareness into
    our core design platforms of Encounter and Virtuoso. The changes
    in our DFM strategy resulted in an impairment charge of
    $42.5&#160;million arising from the abandonment and reduction to
    net realizable value of certain identifiable intangible assets.

    <I>Persuasive evidence of an arrangement</I>&#160;&#150;
    Generally, we use a contract signed by the customer as evidence
    of an arrangement for subscription and term licenses and
    hardware leases. If a contract signed by the customer does not
    exist, we have historically used a purchase order as evidence of
    an arrangement for perpetual licenses, hardware sales,
    maintenance renewals and small fixed-price service projects,
    such as training classes and small methodology service
    engagements of approximately $10,000 or less. For all other
    service engagements, we use a signed professional services
    agreement and a statement of work to evidence an arrangement. In
    cases where both a signed contract and a purchase order exist,
    we consider the signed contract to be the most persuasive
    evidence of the arrangement. Sales through our distributors are
    evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship,
    together with binding purchase orders from the distributor on a

    constitutes a concession. Our experience has been that we are

    term licenses. While we do not expect that experience to change,
    if we no longer were to have a history of collecting under the
    original contract without providing concessions on term
    licenses, revenue from term licenses would be required to be

    creditworthiness. We have concluded that collection is not
    probable for license arrangements executed with customers in
    certain countries. If in our judgment collection of a fee is not
    probable, we defer the revenue until the uncertainty is removed,
    which generally means revenue is recognized upon receipt of cash
    payment. Our experience has been that we are able to estimate
    whether collection is probable. While we do not expect that
    experience to change, if we were to determine that collection is
    not probable for any license arrangement, particularly those
    with installment payment terms, revenue from such license would
    be recognized generally upon the receipt of cash payment. Such a

    the price charged when the services are sold separately. For

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
    estimated future tax consequences attributable to tax benefit
    carryforwards and to differences between the financial statement
    amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax
    basis. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for
    recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more
    likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
    assets will not be realized. To make this assessment, we take
    into account predictions of the amount and category of taxable
    income from various sources and all available positive and
    negative evidence about these possible sources of taxable
    income. As required under SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109, the weight
    given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence
    is commensurate with the extent to which the strength of the
    evidence can be objectively verified. For example, a
    company&#146;s current or previous losses are given more weight
    than its future outlook. For the year ended January&#160;3,
    2009, we concluded that a significant increase in valuation
    allowance was required based on our evaluation and weighting of
    the positive and negative evidence. If, in the future, we
    determine that these deferred tax assets are more likely than
    not to be realized, a release of all or part, of the related
    valuation allowance could result in a material income tax
    benefit in the period such determination is made. For additional
    description of the fiscal 2008 valuation allowance, see the

    Under FIN&#160;No.&#160;48, we may only recognize an income tax
    position in our financial statements that we judge is more
    likely than not to be sustained solely on its technical merits
    in a tax audit, including resolution of any related appeals or
    litigation processes. To make this judgment, we must interpret
    the application of complex and sometimes ambiguous tax laws,
    regulations and practices. If an income tax position meets the
    more likely than not recognition threshold, then we must measure
    the amount of the tax benefit to be recognized by determining
    the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than a 50%
    likelihood of being realized upon effective settlement with a
    taxing authority that has full knowledge of all of the relevant
    facts. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate
    such amounts, as this requires us to determine the probability
    of various possible settlement outcomes. To determine if a tax
    position is effectively settled, we must also estimate the
    likelihood that a taxing authority would review a tax position
    after a tax examination had otherwise been completed. We must
    also determine when it is reasonably possible that the amount of
    unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or
    decrease in the 12&#160;months after each fiscal year-end. These
    judgments are difficult because a taxing authority may change
    its behavior as a result of our disclosures in our financial
    statements that are based on the requirements of
    FIN&#160;No.&#160;48. We must re-evaluate our income tax
    positions on a quarterly basis to consider factors such as

    We are also required to assess whether the earnings of our
    foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested outside the
    United States. Given the escalating challenges in the global
    capital markets during fiscal 2008, we decided to repatriate
    $250.0&#160;million of earnings from a foreign subsidiary to the
    United States that had previously been considered to be
    indefinitely reinvested outside the United States and for which
    deferred taxes had not been previously provided. We currently
    expect that an additional $67.2&#160;million of previously
    untaxed earnings from foreign subsidiaries will not be
    indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. As a
    result, we have accrued a tax expense of $101.1&#160;million
    during fiscal 2008 to provide for the potential federal, state
    and foreign income taxes on these repatriations. To calculate
    this tax expense, we were required to estimate the geographic
    mix of profits and losses earned by us and our subsidiaries in
    tax jurisdictions with a broad range of income and dividend
    withholding tax rates, the impact of foreign exchange rate
    fluctuations, and the potential outcomes of current and future

    Product revenue decreased during fiscal 2008, as compared to
    fiscal 2007, primarily because of lower business levels due to
    the challenges in the current macroeconomic environment, the
    timing of our contract renewals with existing customers, our
    transition to a ratable license mix and a longer sales cycle. As
    a result, product revenue decreased for all product groups, and
    particularly for Digital IC Design, Custom IC Design and
    Functional Verification products during fiscal 2008. Due to the
    lower business levels and the change in the license mix in the
    second half of fiscal 2008, we expect to recognize decreased
    revenue during fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008.

    As described under the heading &#147;Critical Accounting
    Estimates&#148; above, certain of our licenses allow customers
    the ability to remix among software products. Additionally, we
    have licensed a combination of our products to customers with
    the actual product selection and number of licensed users to be
    determined at a later date. For these arrangements, we estimate
    the allocation of the revenue to product groups based upon the
    expected usage of our products by these customers. The actual
    usage of our products by these customers may differ and, if that
    proves to be the case, the revenue allocation in the above table
    would differ.

    Although we believe the methodology of allocating revenue to
    product groups is reasonable, there can be no assurance that
    such allocated amounts reflect the amounts that would result had
    the customer individually licensed each specific software
    solution at the onset of the arrangement.

    The rate of revenue change varies geographically primarily due

    Changes in foreign currency exchange rates caused our revenue to
    increase by $24.5&#160;million during fiscal 2008 compared to
    fiscal 2007, primarily due to a decrease in the valuation of the
    United States dollar when compared to the Japanese yen and the
    European Union euro, partially offset by an increase in the
    valuation of the United States dollar when compared to the
    British pound. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates caused
    our revenue to increase by $2.9&#160;million in 2007 compared to
    2006, primarily due to a decrease in the valuation of the United
    States dollar when compared to the European Union euro and the
    British pound, partially offset by an increase in the valuation
    of the United States dollar when compared to the Japanese yen.
    Additional information about revenue and other financial
    information by geography can be found in Note&#160;21 to our
    Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock
    awards and restricted stock units, collectively referred to as
    restricted stock, and stock bonuses decreased during fiscal
    2008, as compared to fiscal 2007, primarily due to the reversal
    of $6.5&#160;million of stock-based compensation expense related
    to the modification of certain performance-based restricted
    stock awards, new grants of restricted stock being valued at a
    lower stock price and a decrease in stock bonuses. Stock-based
    compensation expense related to restricted stock and stock
    bonuses increased during fiscal 2007, as compared to fiscal
    2006, as we issued more restricted stock in place of stock
    options and due to our increased stock price during fiscal 2007.

    Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options

    our increased use of restricted stock instead of stock options,
    partially offset by an increase in stock option expense during
    fiscal 2008 due to the acceleration of vesting for the five
    executive officers that resigned during fiscal 2008.

    We plan operating expense levels primarily based on forecasted
    revenue levels. To offset some of the impact of our expected
    decrease in revenue, we have implemented cost savings
    initiatives, including reducing headcount, decreasing employee
    bonuses and reducing other discretionary spending. During fiscal
    2008, we initiated a restructuring plan to improve our operating
    results and to align our cost structure with expected revenue.
    This restructuring plan is intended to decrease costs by
    reducing our workforce throughout the company by at least
    625&#160;positions. We expect ongoing annual savings of
    approximately $150.0&#160;million related to this restructuring
    plan.

    Cost of product includes costs associated with the sale or lease
    of our hardware and licensing of our software products. Cost of
    product primarily includes the cost of employee salary, benefits

    compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles
    directly related to our products, the cost of technical
    documentation and royalties payable to third-party vendors. Cost
    of product associated with our hardware products also includes
    materials, assembly and overhead. These additional manufacturing
    costs make our cost of hardware product higher, as a percentage
    of revenue, than our cost of software product. Cost of product
    as a percentage of product revenue increased during fiscal 2008,
    as compared to fiscal 2007, primarily due to decreased software
    product revenue during fiscal 2008.

    Amortization of acquired intangibles decreased in each of fiscal
    2008, as compared to fiscal 2007, and during fiscal 2007, as
    compared to fiscal 2006, because certain acquired intangible
    assets became fully amortized during the related periods. We
    expect the amortization of acquired intangibles component of
    Cost of product to decrease during fiscal 2009 due to the
    impairment of certain acquired intangibles during fiscal 2008.

    Cost of product depends primarily upon the extent to which we

    Losses on the sale of installment contract receivables decreased
    during fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2007, due to a
    reduction in sales of receivables. As a result of the credit
    losses recorded by banks during 2008 and the current financial
    challenges experienced by banks, a number of banks have become
    less willing to purchase assets because of capital constraints
    and concerns about over-exposure to the technology sector. In
    addition, the change in our license mix will result in an
    increased number of subscription licenses and a decrease in the
    sale of receivables to financial institutions. Losses on the
    sale of installment contract receivables decreased during fiscal
    2007, as compared to fiscal 2006, due to the lower discount
    rates available to us during fiscal 2007.

    Litigation, legal and other professional services costs
    decreased during fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2007, due to
    litigation costs incurred in fiscal 2007 that did not recur in

    related to our proposed acquisition of Mentor Graphics
    Corporation and the restatement of our previously issued
    financial statements for the periods ended March&#160;29, 2008
    and June&#160;28, 2008. See additional discussion of our current

    Bad debt expense increased during fiscal 2008, as compared to

    During fiscal 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan, or the

    We also initiated restructuring plans in each year from 2001
    through 2005, or the Other Restructuring Plans, in an effort to
    operate more efficiently. As of January&#160;3, 2009, the
    balance of $6.3&#160;million related to the Other Restructuring
    Plans consisted solely of estimated lease losses.

    Facility closure and office space reduction costs included in
    our restructuring plans are comprised of payments required under
    leases, less any applicable estimated sublease income after the
    properties are abandoned, lease buyout costs and other
    contractual charges. To estimate the lease loss, which is the
    loss after our cost recovery efforts from subleasing all or part
    of a building, we made certain assumptions related to the time
    period over which the relevant building would remain vacant and
    sublease terms, including sublease rates and contractual common
    area charges.

    Each reporting period, we evaluate the adequacy of the lease
    loss accruals related to all of our restructuring plans. When
    necessary, we adjust the lease loss accruals for changes in real
    estate markets or other factors that may affect estimated costs
    or sublease income. We also consider executed sublease
    agreements and adjust the lease loss accruals if sublease income
    under the agreements differ from initial estimates. The credits
    recorded in connection with the Other Restructuring Plans during
    fiscal 2006, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 relate primarily to
    changes in lease loss estimates.

    As of January&#160;3, 2009, our estimate of the accrued lease
    loss related to all worldwide restructuring plans initiated
    since 2001 was $8.4&#160;million. This amount will be adjusted
    in the future if there are changes in the assumptions used to
    estimate the lease loss. The lease loss could range as high as
    $11.3&#160;million if sublease rental rates decrease in
    applicable markets or if it takes longer than currently expected
    to find a suitable tenant to sublease the facilities.

    Because the restructuring charges and related benefits are
    derived from management&#146;s estimates made during the
    formulation of the restructuring plans, based on then-currently
    available information, our restructuring plans may not achieve
    the benefits anticipated on the timetable or at the level
    contemplated. Demand for our products and services and,
    ultimately, our future financial performance, is difficult to
    predict with any degree of certainty and is especially difficult
    to predict in light of the current economic challenges and
    uncertainty. Accordingly, additional actions, including further
    restructuring of our operations, may be required in the future.

    During fiscal 2008, we recorded $44.3&#160;million of headcount
    reduction costs associated with the 2008 Restructuring Plan,

    benefits costs that were less than the initial estimate of

    We provide severance and termination benefits according to the
    varying regulations in the jurisdictions and countries in which
    we operate. In accordance with these regulations, termination
    benefits of approximately $15.4&#160;million were paid to
    employees before January&#160;3, 2009 and termination benefits
    of approximately $29.7&#160;million will be paid after
    January&#160;3, 2009. We expect to pay substantially all
    benefits by January&#160;2, 2010. We expect ongoing annual

    Restructuring Plan.

    Upon consummation of an acquisition, we immediately charge to
    expense any acquired in-process research and development that
    has not yet reached technological feasibility and has no
    alternative future use. The value assigned to acquired
    in-process research and development is determined by identifying
    research projects in areas for which technological feasibility
    has not been established. The values are determined by
    estimating costs to develop the acquired in-process research and
    development into commercially viable products, estimating the
    resulting net cash flows from such projects and discounting the
    net cash flows back to their present value. The discount rates
    utilized include a factor that reflects the uncertainty
    surrounding successful development of the acquired in-process
    research and development.

    We completed our annual impairment analysis of goodwill during
    the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and we determined at that time
    that we satisfied the first step of the two-step goodwill
    impairment test, and no impairment of goodwill was recorded.
    However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we observed
    impairment indicators including a further deterioration in the
    market in which we operate and a decrease in our market
    capitalization. As such, we determined that certain indicators
    indicated that the fair value of our reporting unit was less
    than its carrying amount. Accordingly, in connection with the
    preparation of our year-end financial statements, we completed
    an interim goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of
    fiscal 2008 and recorded an Impairment of goodwill of
    $1,317.2&#160;million, representing all of our goodwill.

    During the third quarters of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, we
    completed our annual impairment analysis of goodwill. Based on
    the results of these impairment reviews, we determined that no

    accordingly, no impairment charge was recognized during fiscal
    2007 or fiscal 2006.

    In connection with our cost savings initiatives that were

    recognized an impairment charge of $42.5&#160;million arising
    from the abandonment of certain identifiable intangible assets
    and reducing to net realizable value certain other identifiable
    intangible assets. We also abandoned and impaired

    Interest expense decreased $0.8&#160;million in 2008, as

    under construction at our headquarters and a decrease in
    interest of $0.2&#160;million related to our Term Loan, which

    We expect interest expense to increase during fiscal 2009, as

    our Consolidated Financial Statements for prior years to reflect
    increased interest expense in each of those years.

    During fiscal 2008, we had a Loss before provision for income
    taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle,
    including the impairment of $1,059.7&#160;million of United
    States goodwill that was non-deductible. We also increased the
    valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets by
    $332.9&#160;million because of the uncertainty regarding their
    ultimate realization. In making this judgment, we considered the
    current year loss that resulted in a cumulative three-year loss
    and other factors. See discussion below for further details.

    Further, given the escalating challenges in the global capital
    markets during fiscal 2008, we decided to repatriate
    $250.0&#160;million of earnings from a foreign subsidiary to the
    United States that had previously been considered to be
    indefinitely reinvested outside the United States and for which
    deferred taxes had not been previously provided. We currently
    expect that an additional $67.2&#160;million of previously
    untaxed earnings from foreign subsidiaries will not be
    indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. As a
    result, we have accrued a tax expense of $101.1&#160;million
    during fiscal 2008 to provide for the federal, state and foreign
    income taxes on these repatriations. We intend to indefinitely
    reinvest the remainder of undistributed earnings of our foreign
    subsidiaries of approximately $37.8&#160;million as of
    January&#160;3, 2009 to meet both the working capital and
    long-term capital needs of our subsidiaries and of Cadence. The
    unrecognized deferred tax liability for these indefinitely
    reinvested foreign earnings was approximately $15.5&#160;million
    as of January&#160;3, 2009.

    Our effective tax rate was negative for fiscal 2008, as compared
    to the positive effective tax rates for fiscal 2007, primarily
    due to the Loss before provision for income taxes and cumulative
    effect of change in accounting principle and the tax expenses
    related to the increase in our valuation allowance against our
    deferred tax assets, repatriations of foreign earnings,
    impairment of non-deductible goodwill, income of certain foreign

    Our effective tax rate decreased during fiscal 2007, as compared
    to fiscal 2006, primarily due to the decrease in net
    unrecognized tax benefit of $27.8&#160;million, as a result of
    the effective settlement of certain tax matters with the IRS in
    December 2007 and an increase in benefit from foreign income,
    which is taxed at a lower rate than the United States federal
    statutory income tax rate, of $30.6&#160;million, resulting from
    the conclusion of certain transfer pricing arrangements with a
    foreign subsidiary in 2006.

    We currently expect the effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 to be
    approximately (16.0)%. The effective tax rate is negative
    because we anticipate having a loss before provision for income
    taxes and because we expect to have tax expense on the income of
    certain foreign subsidiaries and interest expense on our
    unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, we currently anticipate
    recording a valuation allowance that will offset the potential
    tax benefit of certain tax loss and credit carryforwards
    generated during fiscal 2009. However, we expect that the
    effective tax rate for interim reporting periods during fiscal
    2009 will vary from the estimated annual effective tax rate
    because of the recognition of period-specific items of tax
    expense or benefit such as interest expense related to
    unrecognized tax benefits.

    We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability
    and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than
    not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
    be realized. We consider various sources of taxable income and
    all available positive and negative evidence about these
    possible sources of taxable income. As required by
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109, a company&#146;s current or previous
    losses are given more weight than its future outlook. Under this
    standard, our current year loss in fiscal 2008, which included
    the impairment of goodwill and other intangible and tangible
    assets, resulted in a cumulative three-year loss and was
    considered a significant negative

    factor. The current year loss, the uncertain and negative market
    and economic conditions which severely limited our visibility to
    the timing and extent of an economic recovery, and our
    expectation of a net loss in the near term were considered
    significant negative evidence with a high level of objectivity
    that outweighed our ability to rely on our longer term
    projections of future taxable income in determining whether a
    valuation allowance was needed. Accordingly, we concluded that
    an increase in valuation allowance of $332.9&#160;million was
    required as of January&#160;3, 2009. If, in the future, we
    determine that these deferred tax assets are more likely than
    not to be realized, a release of all or part of the related
    valuation allowance could result in a material income tax
    benefit in the period such determination is made. As of
    January&#160;3, 2009, we had total net deferred tax assets of
    approximately $66.4&#160;million. The net deferred tax assets
    are primarily composed of United States net operating loss and
    tax credit carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are
    presented gross of unrecognized tax benefits, which are not
    directly associated with the net operating loss and tax credit
    carryforwards. Although we cannot guarantee that we will be able
    to realize these deferred tax assets, we believe that it is more
    likely than not that we will be able to realize the net deferred
    tax assets over time.

    In July 2006, the IRS completed its field examination of our
    federal income tax returns for the tax years 2000 through 2002
    and issued an RAR in which the IRS proposed to assess an
    aggregate tax deficiency for the three-year period of
    approximately $324.0&#160;million. In November 2006, the IRS
    revised the proposed aggregate tax deficiency for the three-year
    period to be approximately $318.0&#160;million. The IRS is
    contesting our qualification for deferred recognition of certain
    proceeds received from restitution and settlement in connection
    with litigation during the period. The proposed tax deficiency
    for this item is approximately $152.0&#160;million. The
    remaining proposed tax deficiency of approximately
    $166.0&#160;million is primarily related to proposed adjustments
    to our transfer pricing arrangements that we had with foreign
    subsidiaries and to our deductions for foreign trade income. The
    IRS may make similar claims against our transfer pricing
    arrangements and deductions for foreign trade income in future
    examinations. We have filed a timely protest with the IRS and
    are seeking resolution of the issues with the Appeals Office.

    We believe that the proposed IRS adjustments are inconsistent
    with applicable tax laws and we are vigorously challenging these
    proposed adjustments. The RAR is not a final Statutory Notice of
    Deficiency but the IRS imposes interest on the proposed
    deficiencies until the matters are resolved. Interest is
    compounded daily at rates published by the IRS, which rates are
    adjusted quarterly and have been between 4% and 10% since 2001.
    The IRS is currently examining our federal income tax returns
    for the tax years 2003 through 2005.

    Significant judgment is required in applying the principles of
    FIN&#160;No.&#160;48 and SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109. The calculation
    of our provision for income taxes involves dealing with
    uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and
    regulations. In determining the adequacy of our provision for
    income taxes, we regularly assess the potential settlement
    outcomes resulting from income tax examinations. However, the
    final outcome of tax examinations, including the total amount
    payable or the timing of any such payments upon resolution of
    these issues, cannot be estimated with certainty. In addition,
    we cannot be certain that such amount will not be materially
    different than that which is reflected in our historical income
    tax provisions and accruals. Should the IRS or other tax
    authorities assess additional taxes as a result of a current or
    a future examination, we may be required to record charges to
    operations in future periods that could have a material impact
    on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows
    in the applicable period or periods.

    Cash flows provided by operating activities include net income
    (loss), adjusted for certain non-cash charges, as well as
    changes in the balances of certain assets and liabilities. Our
    cash flows from operating activities are significantly
    influenced by business levels, the payment terms set forth in
    our license agreements and by sales of our receivables. As a
    result of challenges currently affecting the economy of the
    United States and other regions of the world, our customers, who
    are concentrated in the semiconductor sector, have experienced
    and may continue to experience adverse changes in their business
    and as a result, may delay purchasing our products and services
    or delay or default on their payment obligations. If our
    customers are not successful in generating sufficient revenue or
    are precluded from securing financing, they may not be able to
    pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed
    to us, although these obligations are generally not cancelable.
    Our customers&#146; inability to fulfill payment obligations may
    adversely affect our cash flow. Additionally, our customers may
    seek to renegotiate pre-existing contractual commitments. Though
    we have not yet experienced a material level of defaults, any
    material payment default by our customers or significant
    reductions in existing contractual commitments would have a
    material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating
    results.

    financial challenges experienced by banks, a number of banks
    have become less willing to purchase assets because of capital
    constraints and concerns about over-exposure to the technology

    During fiscal 2008, we initiated the 2008 Restructuring Plan to
    decrease costs by reducing our workforce across the company and
    by consolidating facilities where the workforce reductions
    resulted in excess office space. This restructuring plan is
    intended to decrease costs by reducing our workforce throughout
    the company by at least 625 positions and we recorded
    Restructuring and other charges of $46.4&#160;million during
    fiscal 2008. As of January&#160;3, 2009, we had made payments in
    connection with the 2008 Restructuring Plan in the amount of
    $15.6&#160;million. We expect substantially all termination

    In January 2007, we completed the sale of certain land and
    buildings in San&#160;Jose, California for a sales price of
    $46.5&#160;million in cash. Concurrently with the sale, we
    leased back from the purchaser all available space in the
    buildings. During the lease term, we constructed an additional
    building located on our San&#160;Jose, California campus to
    replace the buildings we sold in this transaction. We expect to
    use approximately $5.6&#160;million in cash in fiscal 2009 in
    connection with the completion of construction of this new
    building. We expect decreased cash payments for Property, plant
    and equipment during fiscal 2009 as the new building is complete.

    Given the escalating challenges in the global capital markets
    during fiscal 2008, we decided to repatriate $250.0&#160;million
    of earnings from a foreign subsidiary to the United States that
    had previously been considered to be indefinitely reinvested
    outside the United States and for which deferred taxes had not
    been previously provided. We currently expect to repatriate an
    additional $67.2&#160;million of previously untaxed earnings
    from foreign subsidiaries in future periods. We expect that our
    available net operating losses and foreign tax credits will
    offset any current year income taxes related to the dividends
    paid during fiscal 2008. We intend to indefinitely reinvest the
    remainder of our undistributed earnings of our foreign
    subsidiaries of approximately $37.8&#160;million as of
    January&#160;3, 2009, to meet both the working capital and
    long-term capital needs of its subsidiaries and of Cadence. The

    Included in other long-term contractual obligations are

    We did not include the remaining long-term income tax

    of such tax payments may depend upon the resolution of current

    certainty. The remaining portion of other long-term contractual
    obligations is primarily acquisition-related liabilities.

    No.&#160;133,&#148; which requires companies with derivative

    &#147;Fair Value Measurements,&#148; which defines fair value,
    establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands
    disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;157 does not require any new fair value
    measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance
    found in various prior accounting pronouncements.
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;157 is effective for fiscal years beginning

    Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
    relates primarily to our portfolio of Cash and cash equivalents.
    While we are exposed to interest rate fluctuations in many of
    the world&#146;s leading industrialized countries, our interest
    income and expense is most sensitive to fluctuations in the
    general level of United States interest rates. In this regard,
    changes in United States interest rates affect the interest
    earned on our Cash and cash equivalents and costs associated

    We invest in high quality credit issuers and, by policy, limit
    the amount of our credit exposure to any one issuer. As part of
    our policy, our first priority is to reduce the risk of
    principal loss. Consequently, we seek to preserve our invested
    funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment
    risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in only high quality
    credit securities that we believe to have low credit risk and by
    positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a
    significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment
    issuer or guarantor. The short-term interest-bearing portfolio

    Most of our revenue, expenses and material business activity are

    therefore, we benefit from a weaker dollar, and in certain
    countries where we invoice customers in the local currency, we
    are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major
    currencies worldwide. The primary effect of foreign currency
    transactions on our results of operations from a weakening
    United States dollar is an increase in revenue offset by a
    smaller increase in expenses. Conversely, the primary effect of
    foreign currency transactions on our results of operations from
    a strengthening United States dollar is a reduction in revenue

    We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with
    financial institutions to protect against currency exchange
    risks associated with existing assets and liabilities. A foreign
    currency forward exchange contract acts as a hedge by increasing
    in value when underlying assets decrease in value or underlying
    liabilities increase in value due to changes in foreign exchange
    rates. Conversely, a foreign currency forward exchange contract
    decreases in value when underlying assets increase in value or
    underlying liabilities decrease in value due to changes in
    foreign exchange rates. These forward contracts are not
    designated as accounting hedges under SFAS&#160;No.&#160;133
    and, therefore, the unrealized gains and losses are recognized
    in Other income, net, in advance of the actual foreign currency
    cash flows with the fair value of these forward contracts being

    Our policy governing hedges of foreign currency risk does not
    allow us to use forward contracts for trading purposes. Our
    forward contracts generally have maturities of 90&#160;days or
    less. The effectiveness of our hedging program depends on our
    ability to estimate future asset and liability exposures. We
    enter into currency forward exchange contracts based on
    estimated future asset and liability exposures. Recognized gains
    and losses with respect to our current hedging activities will
    ultimately depend on how accurately we are able to match the
    amount of currency forward exchange contracts with actual
    underlying asset and liability exposures.

    of the Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into hedge

    sold warrants to various parties to reduce the potential
    dilution from the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes and

    actively monitor these investments, we do not currently engage
    in any hedging activities to reduce or eliminate equity price
    risk with respect to these equity investments. Accordingly, we
    could lose all or part of our investment portfolio of marketable
    equity securities if there is an adverse change in the market

    Our investments in non-marketable equity securities would be
    negatively affected by an adverse change in equity market
    prices, although the impact cannot be directly quantified. Such
    a change, or any negative change in the financial performance or
    prospects of the companies whose non-marketable securities we
    own, would harm the ability of these companies to raise
    additional capital and the likelihood of our being able to
    realize any gains or return of our investments through liquidity
    events such as initial public offerings, acquisitions and
    private sales. These types of investments involve a high degree
    of risk, and there can be no assurance that any company we
    invest in will grow or will be successful or that we will be
    able to liquidate a particular investment when desired.
    Accordingly, we could lose all or part of our investment.

    determine that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value
    exists for a non-marketable equity security, we write down the
    investment to its fair value and record the related write-down
    as an investment loss in our Consolidated Statements of

    In the course of this evaluation, we sought to identify any
    material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures,
    to determine whether we had identified any acts of fraud
    involving personnel who have a significant role in our
    disclosure controls and procedures, and to confirm that any
    necessary corrective action, including process improvements, was
    taken. This type of evaluation is performed  every fiscal
    quarter so that our conclusions concerning the effectiveness of
    these controls can be reported in our periodic reports filed
    with the SEC. We intend to maintain these disclosure controls
    and procedures, modifying them as circumstances warrant.

    Based on their evaluation as of January&#160;3, 2009, our CEO
    and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and
    procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that
    the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports
    filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i)&#160;is recorded,
    processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
    specified in the SEC&#146;s rules and forms and (ii)&#160;is
    accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
    CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
    required disclosure. As previously disclosed in this Annual
    Report on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Form&#160;10-K,</FONT>
    we appointed a new CEO, effective January&#160;8, 2009.
    Therefore, it should be noted that the certification of the CEO
    as to our disclosure controls and procedures as of
    January&#160;3, 2009 is necessarily based in part on an
    evaluation of facts that existed before he served in the
    capacity of CEO.

    June&#160;28, 2008 and September&#160;27, 2008, our disclosure
    controls and procedures were not effective and that we had a
    material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
    We engaged in a review of our internal control over financial
    reporting as described below and, based on that review, our
    management believes that the changes in our internal control
    over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal
    2008 described below materially affected, or are reasonably
    likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
    reporting. We believe the remediation measures described below
    have been successful in the remediation of the material weakness
    previously identified and have further strengthened and enhanced
    our internal control over financial reporting. See also

    A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
    deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that
    creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
    our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
    or detected on a timely basis. Our management concluded that
    there was a material weakness in our internal controls over the
    application of revenue recognition criteria required by
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">SOP&#160;97-2</FONT>
    &#147;Software Revenue Recognition&#148; in the context of
    multiple-element software arrangements. The material weakness
    related to both the insufficient design and ineffective
    operation of certain internal controls over the recognition of
    revenue from term license agreements. Specifically, the material
    weakness was comprised of the following components:

    As a result of the material weakness in internal control over
    financial reporting, our management did not previously detect
    that revenue from three term license arrangements was improperly
    recognized in the quarterly periods ended March&#160;29, 2008
    and June&#160;28, 2008 and preliminarily recognized in the
    quarterly period ended September&#160;27, 2008, which resulted
    in the restatement of our previously issued condensed
    consolidated financial statements for the three month period
    ended March&#160;29, 2008 and for the three and six month
    periods ended June&#160;28, 2008, and adjustments to the
    preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements for the
    three and nine month periods ended September&#160;27, 2008. To
    address the material weakness described above, we implemented
    enhancements to our internal controls. Specifically, we took the
    following actions during the last fiscal quarter ended
    January&#160;3, 2009, which our management believes have

    A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a
    process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
    reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
    financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting includes those
    policies and procedures that (1)&#160;pertain to the maintenance
    of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
    reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
    company; (2)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that transactions
    are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
    statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
    are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
    management and directors of the company; and (3)&#160;provide
    reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
    unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
    company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
    financial statements.

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
    financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
    Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
    periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
    inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
    of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

    Cadence transacts business in various foreign currencies. The
    United States dollar is the functional currency of
    Cadence&#146;s consolidated entities operating in the United
    States and Cadence&#146;s principal Irish, Israeli, Hungarian
    and Dutch subsidiaries. The functional currency for
    Cadence&#146;s other consolidated entities operating outside of
    the United States is generally the local country&#146;s
    currency, which is the primary currency in which the entity
    generates and expends cash. Cadence translates the financial
    statements of consolidated entities whose functional currency is
    not the United States dollar into United States dollars. Cadence
    translates assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect
    as of the financial statement date and translates statement of
    operations accounts using the average exchange rate for the
    period. Cadence includes translation adjustments from foreign
    exchange and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany
    transactions of a long-term investment nature in
    Stockholders&#146; Equity as a component of Accumulated other
    comprehensive income. Cadence reports gains and losses from
    foreign exchange rate changes related to intercompany
    receivables and payables that are not of a long-term investment
    nature, as well as gains and losses from foreign currency
    transactions, in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
    Cadence recognized a $9.9&#160;million loss attributable to
    currency translation adjustment losses, net of gains, from the
    complete liquidation of a subsidiary during fiscal 2008. There
    were no significant gains or losses during fiscal 2007 or fiscal

    Cadence accounts for its foreign currency exchange contracts in

    SFAS, No.&#160;133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments
    and Hedging Activities.&#148; Cadence enters into foreign
    currency forward exchange contracts with financial institutions
    to protect against currency exchange risks associated with
    existing assets and liabilities. A foreign currency forward
    exchange contract acts as a hedge by increasing in value when
    underlying assets decrease in value or underlying liabilities
    increase in value due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
    Conversely, a foreign currency forward exchange contract
    decreases in value when underlying assets increase in value or
    underlying liabilities decrease in value due to changes in
    foreign exchange rates. The forward contracts are not designated
    as accounting hedges under SFAS&#160;No.&#160;133 and,
    therefore, the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in
    Other income, net, in advance of the actual foreign currency
    cash flows with the fair value of these forward contracts being
    recorded as accrued liabilities or other current assets.

    Cadence makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding
    receivables and provides allowances for the portion of
    receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are
    made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding

    reduction of revenue. For those invoices specifically reviewed,
    Cadence analyzes the creditworthiness of its customers,
    historical experience, changes in customer demand, and the

    other-than-temporarily impaired. This evaluation includes, but
    is not limited to, reviewing each company&#146;s cash position,
    financing needs, earnings or revenue outlook, operational
    performance, management or ownership changes and competition. In
    the case of privately-held companies, this evaluation is based
    on information that Cadence requests from these companies. This
    information is not subject to the same disclosure regulations as
    United States publicly-traded companies, and as such, the basis
    for these evaluations is subject to the timing and the accuracy
    of the data received from these companies. If Cadence believes
    the carrying value of an investment is in excess of fair value,
    and this difference is other-than-temporary, it is
    Cadence&#146;s policy to write down the investment to fair
    value. The majority of Cadence&#146;s non-marketable securities
    are accounted for under the cost method of accounting and are
    carried at historical cost. Cadence periodically evaluates the
    fair value of each investment to determine if an
    other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred.

    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">&#147;eDA-on-tap,&#148;</FONT>
    to facilitate the delivery of its software products. To maximize

    types. Subscription license customers may purchase what Cadence
    refers to as an &#147;eDA Platinum Card,&#148; which provides
    the customer access to and use of all software products
    delivered at the outset of the arrangement and the ability to
    use additional unspecified software products that may become

    <I>Persuasive evidence of an arrangement</I>&#160;&#150;
    Generally, Cadence uses a contract signed by the customer as
    evidence of an arrangement for subscription and term licenses
    and hardware leases. If a contract signed by the customer does
    not exist, Cadence has historically used a purchase order as
    evidence of an arrangement for perpetual licenses, hardware
    sales, maintenance renewals and small fixed-price service
    projects, such as training classes and small methodology service
    engagements of approximately $10,000 or less. For all other
    service engagements, Cadence uses a signed professional services
    agreement and a statement of work to evidence an arrangement. In
    cases where both a signed contract and a purchase order exist,
    Cadence considers the signed contract to be the most persuasive
    evidence of the arrangement. Sales through Cadence&#146;s
    distributors are evidenced by a master agreement governing the
    relationship, together with binding purchase orders from the
    distributor on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">transaction-by-transaction</FONT>
    basis.

    products, installation is the responsibility of the customer, as
    the system is fully functional at the time of shipment. For

    Significant judgment is involved in assessing whether a fee is
    fixed or determinable. Cadence must also make these judgments
    when assessing whether a contract amendment to a term
    arrangement (primarily in the context of a license extension or
    renewal) constitutes a concession. Cadence&#146;s experience has
    been that it is able to determine whether a fee is fixed or
    determinable for term licenses. While Cadence does not expect
    that experience to change, if Cadence no longer were to have a
    history of collecting under the original contract without
    providing concessions on term licenses, revenue from term
    licenses would be required to be recognized when payments under
    the installment contract become due and payable. Such a change
    could have a material impact on Cadence&#146;s results of
    operations.

    <I>Collection is probable</I>&#160;&#150; Cadence assesses the
    probability of collecting from each customer at the outset of
    the arrangement based on a number of factors, including the
    customer&#146;s payment history and its current
    creditworthiness. Cadence has concluded that collection is not
    probable for license arrangements executed with customers in
    certain countries. If in Cadence&#146;s judgment collection of a
    fee is not probable, Cadence defers the revenue until the
    uncertainty is removed, which generally means revenue is
    recognized upon receipt of cash payment. Cadence&#146;s
    experience has been that it is able to estimate whether
    collection is probable. While Cadence does not expect that
    experience to change, if Cadence were to determine that
    collection is not probable for any license arrangement,
    particularly those with installment payment terms, revenue from
    such license would be recognized generally upon receipt of cash
    payment. Such a change could have a material impact on
    Cadence&#146;s results of operations.

    element arrangement, or MEA, is any arrangement that includes or

    products, software license types, services, training or
    maintenance in a single arrangement. From time to time, Cadence
    may include individual deliverables in separately priced and
    separately signed contracts with the same customer. Cadence
    obtains and evaluates all known relevant facts and circumstances
    in determining whether the separate contracts should be
    accounted for individually as distinct arrangements or whether
    the separate contracts are, in substance, a MEA. Significant
    judgment can be involved in determining whether a group of

    part of a single arrangement.

    elements of an arrangement is based upon the pricing in
    comparable transactions when the element is sold separately.
    VSOE for maintenance is generally based upon the customer&#146;s
    stated annual renewal rates. VSOE for services is generally
    based on the price charged when the services are sold
    separately. For multiple element arrangements, VSOE must exist
    to allocate the total fee among all delivered and undelivered
    elements of a term or perpetual license arrangement. If VSOE
    does not exist for all elements to support the allocation of the
    total fee among all delivered and undelivered elements of the
    arrangement, revenue is deferred until such evidence does exist
    for the undelivered elements, or until all elements are
    delivered, whichever is earlier. If VSOE of all undelivered
    elements exists but VSOE does not exist for one or more
    delivered elements, revenue is recognized using the residual
    method. Under the residual method, the VSOE of the undelivered
    elements is deferred, and the remaining portion of the
    arrangement fee is recognized as revenue as the elements are
    delivered. Cadence&#146;s experience has been that it is able to
    determine VSOE for maintenance and time-based services, but not
    for product.

    <I>Finance fee revenue</I>&#160;&#150; Finance fees result from
    discounting to present value the product revenue derived from

    are recognized using a method that approximates the effective
    interest method over the relevant license term and are

    approximately 3% of total revenue for fiscal 2008 and 2% of
    total revenue for each of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. Upon the

    In accordance with SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109, Cadence is required
    to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in
    which it operates. This process involves estimating actual
    current tax liabilities together with assessing temporary
    differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as
    deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These
    differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which
    are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
    taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
    are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
    tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
    recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
    date.

    Cadence then records a valuation allowance to reduce the
    deferred tax assets to the amount that Cadence believes it is
    more likely than not to realize based on its judgment of all
    available positive and negative factors. Deferred tax assets are
    realized by an enterprise by having sufficient taxable income to
    allow the related tax benefits to reduce taxes otherwise
    payable. Accordingly, the taxable income must be both of an
    appropriate character (e.g., capital versus ordinary, foreign
    versus United States source income) and within the carryback and
    carryforward periods permitted by law. In making such
    assessments, Cadence must make significant judgments about the
    possible sources of taxable income and the evidence available
    about each possible sources of taxable income on a jurisdiction
    by jurisdiction basis. As required under SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109,
    the weight given to the potential effect of negative and
    positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the
    strength of the evidence can be objectively verified. For
    example, a company&#146;s current or previous losses are given
    more weight than its future outlook. For the year ended
    January&#160;3, 2009, Cadence concluded that a significant
    increase in valuation allowance was required based on its
    evaluation and weighting of the positive and negative evidence.
    See Note&#160;4 below for additional details. If, in the future,
    Cadence determines that these deferred tax assets are more
    likely than not to be realized, a release of all or part, of the
    related valuation allowance could result in a material income
    tax benefit in the period such determination is made.

    Cadence adopted FIN&#160;No.&#160;48 on December&#160;31, 2006,
    which was the first day of Cadence&#146;s fiscal 2007.
    FIN&#160;No.&#160;48 requires Cadence to take a two-step
    approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions.
    The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition
    by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates
    that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be
    sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals
    or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax
    benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of
    being realized upon effective settlement. Cadence re-evaluates
    its income tax positions on a quarterly basis to consider
    factors such as changes in facts or circumstances, changes in or
    interpretations of tax law, effectively settled issues under
    audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or
    measurement would result in recognition of a tax benefit or an
    additional charge to the tax provision. Upon adoption of
    FIN&#160;No.&#160;48, Cadence adopted an accounting policy to
    classify interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as
    income tax expense. For years before the adoption of
    FIN&#160;No.&#160;48, Cadence also reported interest and
    penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

    Cadence is also required to assess whether the earnings of our
    foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested outside the
    United States. Given the escalating challenges in the global
    capital markets during fiscal 2008, Cadence decided to
    repatriate $250.0&#160;million of earnings from a foreign
    subsidiary to the United States that had previously been
    considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United
    States and for which deferred taxes had not been previously
    provided. Cadence expects that an additional $67.2&#160;million
    of previously untaxed earnings from foreign subsidiaries will
    not be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. As
    a result, Cadence has accrued a tax expense of
    $101.1&#160;million during fiscal 2008 to provide for the
    federal, state and foreign income taxes on these repatriations.
    To calculate this tax expense, Cadence was required to estimate
    the geographic mix of profits and losses earned by Cadence and
    its subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with a broad range of
    income and dividend withholding tax rates, the impact of foreign
    exchange rate fluctuations, and the potential outcomes of
    current and future tax audits. Changes in Cadence&#146;s actual
    or projected operating results, tax laws or Cadence&#146;s
    interpretation of tax laws, foreign exchange rates and
    developments in current and future tax audits could
    significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in

    When establishing the expected life assumption, Cadence reviews
    annual historical employee exercise behavior with respect to
    option grants having similar vesting periods. The risk-free
    interest rate for the period within the expected term of the
    option is based on the yield of United States Treasury notes in
    effect at the time of grant. Cadence has not historically paid
    dividends, thus the expected dividends used in the calculation

    Judgment is required in estimating the amount of stock-based
    awards that Cadence expects to be forfeited. Cadence calculates
    a separate expected forfeiture rate for both stock options and

    is also required to estimate the attainment of certain
    predetermined performance goals for a performance-based bonus
    plan, under which payments may be made in Cadence common stock,
    and performance-based restricted stock grants. Each period,
    Cadence estimates the most likely outcome of such performance
    goals and recognizes any related stock-based compensation
    expense. The amount of stock-based compensation expense
    recognized in any one period can vary based on the attainment or
    estimated attainment of the various performance goals. If such
    performance goals are not met, no compensation expense is
    recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense is

    Cadence considers all of its investments in marketable
    securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities
    are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses
    presented net of tax and reported as a separate component of
    Stockholders&#146; equity. Realized gains and losses are
    determined using the specific identification method. Gains are
    recognized when realized and are recorded in the Consolidated

    During fiscal 2008, Cadence purchased approximately
    4.3&#160;million shares of Mentor Graphics Corporation, or
    Mentor Graphics, common stock in connection with its proposed
    acquisition of Mentor Graphics. After the announcement of
    Cadence&#146;s withdrawal of the proposed acquisition of Mentor
    Graphics and during fiscal 2008, Cadence sold its entire equity
    interest in Mentor Graphics at a loss of $9.4&#160;million,
    which is included in Losses on sale of available-for-sale
    securities in the table above.

    It is Cadence&#146;s policy to review the fair value of these
    marketable securities on a regular basis to determine whether
    its investments in these companies are other-than-temporarily
    impaired. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to,
    reviewing each company&#146;s cash position, financing needs,
    earnings or revenue outlook, operational performance, management
    or ownership changes and competition. If Cadence believes the
    carrying value of an investment is in excess of its fair value,
    and this difference is other-than-temporary, it is
    Cadence&#146;s policy to write down the investment to reduce its
    carrying value to fair value. Cadence determined that two of its
    available-for-sale securities were other-than-temporarily
    impaired based on the severity and the duration of the
    impairment and Cadence wrote down the investments by
    $8.1&#160;million during fiscal 2008. These impairments are
    included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated
    Statement of Operations. Cadence did not recognize an
    other-than-temporary impairment of available-for-sale securities
    during fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006.

    Cadence uses either the cost or equity method of accounting to
    account for its long-term, non-marketable investment securities,
    which are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance
    Sheets. Net realized gains on the sale of non-marketable
    investments were $1.6&#160;million during fiscal 2008,
    $6.0&#160;million during fiscal 2007 and $19.9&#160;million

    Compensation Venture Investment Plan Trust recorded a gain of
    $0.6&#160;million during fiscal 2007. If Cadence determines that
    an other-than-temporary decline exists in a non-marketable
    equity security, Cadence writes down the investment to its fair
    value and records the related write-down as an investment loss
    in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Cadence regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for
    recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance if it is
    more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
    tax assets will not be realized. Cadence considered various
    sources of taxable income and all available positive and
    negative evidence about these possible sources of taxable
    income. As required by SFAS&#160;No.&#160;109, Cadence gave
    significant weight to evidence that could be objectively
    verified. Under this standard Cadence&#146;s current year loss,
    which resulted in a cumulative three-year loss, the uncertain
    and negative market and economic conditions which severely
    limited the visibility to the timing and extent of an economic
    recovery, and the Cadence expectation of a net loss in the near
    term, were considered significant negative evidence with a high
    level of objectivity that outweighed Cadence&#146;s ability to
    rely on longer term projections of future taxable income in
    determining whether a valuation allowance was needed. As a
    result, Cadence concluded that an increase in valuation
    allowance of $332.9&#160;million was required as of
    January&#160;3, 2009. After consideration of the valuation
    allowance, Cadence had total net deferred tax assets of
    approximately $66.4&#160;million as of January&#160;3, 2009. The
    net deferred tax assets are primarily composed of United States
    net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The net
    deferred tax assets are presented gross of unrecognized tax
    benefits, which are not directly associated with the net
    operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Although there is
    no guarantee that these deferred tax assets will be realized,
    Cadence believes that it is more likely than not that it will be
    able to realize the net deferred tax assets over time.

    Cadence provides for United States income taxes on the earnings

    of previously untaxed earnings from foreign subsidiaries will
    not be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. As
    a result, Cadence has accrued a tax expense of
    $101.1&#160;million during fiscal 2008 to provide for the
    federal, state and foreign income taxes on these repatriations.
    Of the $101.1&#160;million of tax expense associated with
    Cadence&#146;s repatriation of earnings, $1.8&#160;million was
    accounted for in its Consolidated Statements of

    undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries of
    approximately $37.8&#160;million as of January&#160;3, 2009, to
    meet both the working capital and long-term capital needs of its
    subsidiaries and of Cadence. The unrecognized deferred tax

    In November 2003, the IRS completed its field examination of
    Cadence&#146;s federal income tax returns for the tax years 1997
    through 1999 and issued a Revenue Agent&#146;s Report, or RAR,
    in which the IRS proposed to assess an aggregate tax deficiency
    for the three-year period of approximately $143.0&#160;million.
    The most significant of the disputed adjustments for the tax
    years 1997 through 1999 related to transfer pricing arrangements
    that Cadence had with a foreign subsidiary. In December 2007,
    the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S.&#160;Congress, or
    the Joint Committee, approved and the Appeals Office of the IRS,
    or the Appeals Office, executed settlement agreements, which
    resulted in an effective settlement of the transfer pricing
    dispute for purposes of FIN&#160;No.&#160;48. As a result of
    this effective settlement, Cadence recognized a tax benefit of
    $27.8&#160;million in the Consolidated Income Statement. Cadence
    also recognized a tax benefit of $6.2&#160;million in the
    Consolidated Statements of Stockholders&#146; Equity and

    Cadence did not reach a settlement with the Appeals Office of

    In July 2006, the IRS completed its field examination of
    Cadence&#146;s federal income tax returns for the tax years 2000
    through 2002 and issued a RAR in which the IRS proposed to
    assess an aggregate tax deficiency for the three-year period of
    approximately $324.0&#160;million. In November 2006, the IRS
    revised the proposed aggregate tax deficiency for the three-year
    period to be approximately $318.0&#160;million. The IRS is
    contesting Cadence&#146;s qualification for deferred recognition
    of certain proceeds received from restitution and settlement in
    connection with litigation during the period. The proposed tax
    deficiency for this item is approximately $152.0&#160;million.
    The remaining proposed tax deficiency of approximately
    $166.0&#160;million is primarily related to proposed adjustments
    to Cadence&#146;s transfer pricing arrangements that it had with
    foreign subsidiaries and to Cadence&#146;s deductions for
    foreign trade income. The IRS may make similar claims against
    our transfer pricing arrangements and deductions for foreign
    trade income in future examinations. Cadence has filed a timely
    protest with the IRS and is seeking resolution of the issues
    through the Appeals Office.

    Cadence believes that it is reasonably possible that the total
    amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for its transfer pricing
    arrangements with its foreign subsidiaries could significantly
    increase or decrease during fiscal 2009 if the Appeals Office
    develops new settlement guidelines that change Cadence&#146;s
    measurement of the tax benefits to be recognized upon effective
    settlement with the IRS. Because of the uncertain impact of any
    potential settlement guidelines, Cadence cannot currently
    provide an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible
    change.

    Cadence also believes that it is reasonably possible that the

    appeal of Xilinx, Inc.&#160;v. Commissioner, which is before the
    United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Cadence
    believes that the range of reasonably possible change is an
    increase in unrecognized tax benefits of $6.4&#160;million to a
    decrease of unrecognized tax benefit of $1.6&#160;million.

    In accordance with SFAS&#160;No.&#160;142, Cadence conducts a
    goodwill impairment analysis annually and as necessary if
    changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value
    of Cadence&#146;s reporting unit may be less than its carrying
    amount. Cadence&#146;s goodwill impairment test consists of the
    two steps required by SFAS&#160;No.&#160;142. The first step
    requires that Cadence compare the estimated fair value of its
    single reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting
    unit&#146;s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of
    the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net
    assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further
    testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is
    less than the carrying value of its net assets, Cadence would be
    required to complete the second step of the test by analyzing
    the fair value of its goodwill. If the carrying value of the
    goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is
    recorded.

    To determine the reporting unit&#146;s fair value, Cadence uses
    a combination of the income and market valuation approaches. In
    determining its overall conclusion of reporting unit fair value,
    Cadence considers the estimated values derived from both the
    income and market valuation approaches and weighs the values
    from each approach equally.

    Cadence completed its annual impairment analysis of goodwill
    during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and determined at that
    time that it satisfied the first step of the two-step goodwill
    impairment test, and no impairment of goodwill was recorded.
    However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, Cadence
    observed impairment indicators including a further deterioration
    in the market in which Cadence operates and a decrease in its
    market capitalization. As such, Cadence determined indicators
    existed that indicated that the fair value of Cadence&#146;s
    reporting unit was less than its carrying amount.

    Accordingly, in connection with the preparation of
    Cadence&#146;s year-end financial statements, Cadence completed
    an interim goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of
    fiscal 2008, including the second step prescribed by
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;142. As part of the second step of its
    goodwill impairment test, Cadence determined the fair value of
    its goodwill by allocating the estimated fair value of its
    reporting unit to its assets and liabilities, including the
    estimated fair value of its unrecorded intangible assets, on a
    fair value basis. After allocating its assets and liabilities on
    a fair value basis, Cadence recorded an impairment of all of its

    During fiscal 2008, Cadence acquired a company for an aggregate
    purchase price of $9.4&#160;million, which included the payment

    During fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, Cadence acquired three
    companies for an aggregate purchase price of $101.3 million,
    which included the payment of cash, the fair value of assumed
    options and acquisition costs.  The $63.1 million of goodwill
    recorded in connection with these acquisitions is not deductible

    Prior to the acquisition of one company in fiscal 2007, Cadence
    had an investment of $2.0&#160;million in the company,
    representing a 12% ownership interest, which had been accounted
    for under the cost method of accounting. In accordance with
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;141, &#147;Business Combinations,&#148;
    Cadence accounted for this acquisition as a step acquisition.
    Subsequent adjustments to the purchase price of these acquired
    companies are included in the &#147;Other&#148; line of the
    changes of goodwill table in Note&#160;5 above.

    For each of the acquisitions described above, the results of
    operations and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired
    and liabilities assumed have been included in Cadence&#146;s
    Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the
    acquisition. Comparative pro forma financial information for all
    fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 acquisitions have not
    been presented because the results of operations were not
    material to Cadence&#146;s Consolidated Financial Statements.

    For many of Cadence&#146;s previously completed acquisitions,
    payment of a portion of the purchase price is contingent upon
    the acquired business&#146; achievement of certain revenue and
    product development performance goals. The portion of the
    contingent purchase price, or earnout, associated with employee
    retention is recorded as compensation expense. The specific
    performance goal levels, and amounts and timing of earnout
    payments, vary with each acquisition. The acquisition-related
    earnouts in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were not
    significant. In connection with its acquisitions completed
    before January&#160;3, 2009, Cadence may be obligated to pay up
    to an aggregate of $51.0&#160;million in cash during the next
    44&#160;months if certain defined performance goals are achieved
    in full, which would be expensed as compensation expense in our
    Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Acquired in-process research and development charges represent
    in-process research and development that had not reached
    technological feasibility at the time of acquisition and had no
    probable alternative future use. For acquisitions completed
    during fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, the purchase
    price allocated to acquired in-process research and development
    was determined through established valuation techniques. The
    acquired in-process research and development was immediately
    expensed because technological feasibility had not been
    established, and no future alternative use existed. The
    write-off of acquired in-process research and development is a
    component of operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements
    of Operations.

    other charges. Cadence regularly evaluates the adequacy of its
    severance and related benefits accrual, and adjusts the balance
    based on actual costs incurred or changes in estimates and
    assumptions. Cadence may incur future charges to reflect actual
    costs incurred or for changes in estimates related to amounts

    Cadence also initiated restructuring plans in each year from
    2001 through 2005, or the Other Restructuring Plans, in an

    Facility closure and office space reduction costs included in
    Cadence&#146;s restructuring plans are comprised of payments
    required under leases, less any applicable estimated sublease
    income after the properties are abandoned, lease buyout costs
    and other contractual charges. To estimate the lease loss, which
    is the loss after Cadence&#146;s cost recovery efforts from
    subleasing all or part of a building, Cadence management made
    certain assumptions related to the time period over which the
    relevant building would remain vacant and sublease terms,
    including sublease rates and contractual common area charges.

    Each reporting period, Cadence evaluates the adequacy of the
    lease loss accruals related to all of its restructuring plans.
    When necessary, Cadence adjusts the lease loss accruals for
    changes in real estate markets or other factors that may affect
    estimated costs or sublease income. Cadence also considers
    executed sublease agreements and adjusts the lease loss accruals
    if sublease income under the agreements differ from initial
    estimates. The credits recorded in connection with the Other
    Restructuring Plans during fiscal 2006, fiscal 2007 and fiscal
    2008 relate primarily to changes in lease loss estimates.

    As of January&#160;3, 2009, Cadence&#146;s estimate of the
    accrued lease loss related to all worldwide restructuring plans
    initiated since 2001 was $8.4&#160;million. This amount will be
    adjusted in the future based on changes in the assumptions used
    to estimate the lease loss. The lease loss could range as high
    as $11.3&#160;million if sublease rental rates decrease in
    applicable markets or if it takes longer than currently expected
    to find a suitable tenant to sublease the facilities.

    severance-related benefits and $8.4&#160;million of estimated
    lease losses related to the restructuring plans initiated since
    2001. This amount may be adjusted in the future based upon
    changes in the assumptions used to estimate the lease loss. Of
    the $38.2&#160;million accrued as of January&#160;3, 2009,
    $32.4&#160;million was included in Accounts payable and accrued

    and related benefits costs that were less than the initial

    include severance and severance-related benefits which were

    On January&#160;30, 2009, since Cadence did not have a
    sufficient number of authorized common stock available under the
    ESPP to permit all ESPP participants to purchase Cadence&#146;s
    common stock in the full amount that had been set aside for them
    through their contributions, Cadence allocated the purchase on a
    pro rata basis and refunded the excess contributions. The
    continuation of the ESPP is contingent upon stockholder approval
    of additional shares of Cadence&#146;s common stock authorized
    under the ESPP.

    Under the ESPP, the Cadence Board of Directors has the
    discretion to designate the percentage and maximum dollar amount
    that may be withheld from the ESPP participants&#146; annual
    base earnings plus bonuses and commissions for a particular
    offering period, and the Cadence Board of Directors may modify
    such percentage and maximum dollar amount from time to time. If
    additional issuances of common stock are approved by the
    stockholders, under the rules currently in effect, the ESPP
    participants would be entitled to purchase Cadence common stock
    under the ESPP: (i)&#160;for the offering period commencing
    February 1, 2009, in an amount not to exceed the lower of (A)
    $7,058.82 or (B) the difference between (x) $25,000 and (y) the
    aggregate amount of Cadence&#146;s common stock purchased on
    January 31, 2009 under the ESPP; and (ii)&#160;for the offering
    period commencing August 1, 2009 and thereafter, in an amount
    not to exceed $7,058.82 in any calendar year. In addition,
    contributions made by ESPP participants under the ESPP may not
    exceed 5% of their annual base earnings plus bonuses and
    commissions.

    of the respective employment agreements of these executive

    Generally, restricted stock, which includes restricted stock
    awards and restricted stock units, vests over three to four
    years and is subject to the employee&#146;s continuing service
    to Cadence. Cadence issues some of its restricted stock with
    performance-based vesting. The terms of these restricted stock
    grants are consistent with grants of restricted stock described
    above, with the exception that the vesting of the shares depends
    not only upon the completion of the required period of service,
    but also on the satisfaction of certain predetermined
    performance goals. Each period, Cadence estimates the
    probability of the achievement of these performance goals and
    recognizes any related stock-based compensation expense. The
    amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in any one
    period can vary based on the attainment or estimated attainment
    of the various performance goals. If such performance goals are
    not met, no compensation expense is recognized and any
    previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.

    In July 2008, Cadence modified the performance goals related to
    its performance-based restricted stock. On the modification
    date, Cadence evaluated the probability of achievement of both
    the original performance goals and the modified performance
    goals. For the performance-based restricted stock in which the
    original performance goal was unlikely to be achieved, Cadence
    reversed the previously recorded stock-based compensation
    expense of $6.5&#160;million, calculated the fair value of the
    restricted stock on the modification date, and recorded the
    stock-based compensation expense to the extent that the modified
    performance goals were expected to be achieved over the
    remaining weighted average requisite service period of
    1.0&#160;years. The fair value of the modified performance-based
    restricted stock was $6.2&#160;million, or $7.34 per share. In

    In October 2008, certain executive officers resigned from their
    positions with Cadence. As a result of those resignations and
    the terms of the respective employment agreements of those
    executive officers, the performance-based restricted stock
    either was forfeited or will be subject to vesting according to
    the terms of those agreements. Cadence recorded additional
    stock-based compensation expense relating to accelerated vesting
    of certain portions of some of the affected performance-based
    restricted stock, which was partially offset by the reversal of
    previously recorded stock-based compensation expense relating to
    the performance-based restricted stock that were forfeited.
    Cadence also recorded an additional expense related to the

    Cadence maintains a performance-based bonus plan under which
    payments may be made in Cadence common stock. Each period,
    Cadence estimates the most likely outcome of predetermined

    expense recognized in any one period can vary based on the
    attainment or estimated attainment of the various performance
    goals. If such performance goals are not met, no compensation
    expense is recognized and any previously recognized compensation
    expense is reversed. The stock-based compensation expense
    related to this performance-based bonus plan for fiscal 2008,

    Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net
    income (loss), the numerator, by the weighted average number of
    shares of common stock outstanding, less unvested restricted
    stock, the denominator, during the period. Diluted net income
    per share gives effect to equity instruments considered to be
    potential common shares, if dilutive, computed using the
    treasury stock method of accounting. In periods in which a net
    loss is recorded, potentially dilutive equity instruments would
    decrease the loss per share and therefore are not added to the
    weighted average shares outstanding.

    Cadence accounts for the effect of the 2023 Notes in the diluted
    net income per share calculation using the if-converted method
    of accounting. Under that method, the 2023 Notes are assumed to
    be converted to shares (weighted for the number of days
    outstanding in the period) at a conversion price of $15.65, and
    amortization of transaction fees, net of taxes, related to the
    2023 Notes is added back to net income.

    requires Cadence to include in diluted earnings per share the
    shares of Cadence&#146;s common stock into which the Convertible
    Senior Notes may be converted. However, since the Convertible
    Senior Notes meet the qualification of an Instrument C under
    EITF
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">No.&#160;90-19</FONT>
    and because cash will be paid for the principal amount of the
    obligation upon conversion, the only shares that will be
    considered for inclusion in diluted net income per share are
    those relating to the excess of the conversion premium over the
    principal amount, using the &#147;if-converted&#148; method. As
    of January&#160;3, 2009, no shares are included in diluted
    earnings per share, or EPS, for the Convertible Senior Notes.

    From time to time, Cadence is involved in various disputes and
    litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. These
    include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property,
    mergers and acquisitions, licensing, contracts, distribution
    arrangements and employee relations matters. At least quarterly,
    Cadence reviews the status of each significant matter and
    assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss
    from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and
    the amount or the range of loss can be estimated, Cadence
    accrues a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;5, &#147;Accounting for Contingencies.&#148;
    Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes
    are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties,
    accruals are based only on the best information available at the
    time. As additional information becomes available, Cadence
    reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and
    litigation matters and may revise estimates.

    During fiscal 2008, two derivative complaints have been filed in
    Santa&#160;Clara County Superior Court. The first was filed on

    on behalf of nominal defendant Cadence Design Systems,

    Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Donald L. Lucas,&#160;Sr., Roger

    derivatively, on behalf of Cadence, against certain of
    Cadence&#146;s current and former directors for alleged breach
    of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste
    of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Many of the
    allegations underlying these claims are similar or identical to
    the allegations in the securities class action lawsuits
    described above, and further allege that the individual
    defendants approved compensation based on inflated financial
    results. The plaintiffs request unspecified damages,
    restitution, equitable relief and their reasonable
    attorneys&#146; fees, experts&#146; fees, costs and expenses on
    behalf of Cadence against the individual defendants. A motion to
    consolidate these complaints was granted on January&#160;20,

2009 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Cadence Design Systems, Inc. 2009 Deferred Compensation Plan shall be amended as follows,
effective January&nbsp;1, 2009:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.1 shall be revised by adding the following to the end thereof:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employer shall maintain separate Accounts for an Employee who is participating
in the Plan and experienced a change in employment status (<I>i.e.</I>, from employee to
Non-Employee Director or <I>vice versa</I>) such that Employee will have a Non-Employee
Director Account and an employee Account.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;A new Section&nbsp;2.2 shall be added to read as follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <U>Change in Status</U>. A participating Employee who experiences
a change in employment status (<I>i.e.</I>, from employee to Non-Employee Director
or <I>vice versa</I>) shall be considered newly eligible to participate in the Plan
in his or her new capacity for all purposes hereunder, including for
purposes of making the elections pursuant to Sections&nbsp;3.3 and 3.4 hereof,
provided that the eligibility requirements set forth in Section&nbsp;2.1 are met.
If the participating Employee experiences a subsequent change in employment
status (<I>i.e.</I>, a reversal back to the previous status), such Employee shall
be considered newly eligible to participate in the Plan only in accordance
with Treasury Regulation&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.409A-2(a)(7)(ii). Participation as an
employee and a Non-Employee Director shall be treated as participation in
two separate &#147;nonqualified deferred compensation plans&#148; within the meaning
of Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, and such separate plans shall not be aggregated
with each other pursuant to Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, as provided in
Treasury Regulation&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.409A-1(c)(2)(ii).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;A new Section&nbsp;3.2(h) shall be added to read as follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The provisions of this Section&nbsp;3.2 shall apply independently to the
separate Accounts of a participating Employee who has Accounts under the

would have vested over the twelve (12)&nbsp;months following the date of termination had Executive
continued in employment under his Employment Agreement during that period shall immediately vest

Benefits hereunder shall be either (a)&nbsp;provided to Executive in full, or (b)&nbsp;provided to Executive

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;Each of the parties expressly agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
to the extent that the enforceability of this Agreement is not thereby impaired, any and all
disputes, controversies or claims between Executive and the Company arising under this Agreement,
except those arising under Section 6(d) hereof or under the Proprietary Information Agreement (as
defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof), shall be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration
before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, or successor rules then in effect, and that judgment upon the award of the
arbitrator may be rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This includes, without
limitation, any and all disputes, controversies, and/or claims arising out of or concerning
Executive&#146;s employment by the Company or the termination of his employment or this Agreement, and
includes, without limitation, claims by Executive against directors, officers or employees of the
Company, whether arising under theories of liability or damages based on contract, tort or statute,
to the full extent permitted by law. As a material part of this agreement to arbitrate claims, the
parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on all statutory or other claims. This
Section&nbsp;6 does not purport to limit either party&#146;s ability to recover any remedies provided for by
statute, including attorneys&#146; fees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The arbitration shall be held in the San Jose, California metropolitan area, and shall be
administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration proceedings, a
similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Under such proceeding, the parties

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">shall select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of
remedies, if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is
preempted, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The
parties agree that they will be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be
determined by the arbitrator, consistent with the nature of the claims in dispute. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by
any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award that shall include a written statement of opinion
setting forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties intend this arbitration
provision to be valid, enforceable, irrevocable and construed as broadly as possible.

own attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert fees and costs), except that if any party prevails
on a statutory claim that entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or
without expert fees) as part of the costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys&#146; fees
(with or without expert fees) to the prevailing party in accord with such statute.

the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision of the
Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof). In the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, Cadence may, either with or without pursuing any potential damage
remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and enforce, an injunction prohibiting
Executive from violating Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision of the Proprietary
Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof) and requiring Executive to comply with the
terms of those agreements.

shall provide the Company with reasonable cooperation in all matters relating to the winding up of

other employees of the Company as may be designated by the Company. Such cooperation shall be
provided by Executive at mutually-convenient times. Executive also agrees to participate as a
witness in any litigation or regulatory proceeding to which the Company or any of its affiliates is
a party at the request of the Company upon delivery to Executive of reasonable advance notice.
With respect to the cooperation/participation described in the preceding sentences, the Company
will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Executive in the
course of such cooperation/participation. Furthermore, Executive agrees to return to the Company
all property of the Company, including all hard and soft copies of records, documents, materials
and files relating to confidential, proprietary or sensitive company information in his possession
or control, as well as all other company-owned property in his possession or control, at the time

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Indemnity Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;), dated as of <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, is made by and between
Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;), and <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> of the
Company (the &#147;Indemnitee&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>RECITALS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to
serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting
from their service to such corporations;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so
substantial (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such
litigation is often beyond the personal resources of officers and directors;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;The Company believes that its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries should be able to serve as such, and in such other capacities as the Company may
request, as the case may be, free from undue concern about the risk of large judgments and other
expenses that may be incurred as a result of the good faith performance of their duties to the
Company or its subsidiaries;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;The Company recognizes that the long period of time that may elapse before the trial or
other disposition of legal proceedings may extend beyond the normal time for retirement for such
director or officer, with the result that the Indemnitee, after retirement or in the event of the
Indemnitee&#146;s death, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, executors or administrators, may be faced with
limited ability and undue hardship in maintaining an adequate defense, which may discourage such
director or officer from serving in that position;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the &#147;Board&#148;) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to
serve as directors and certain officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such
individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its
subsidiaries, it is necessary, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, for
the Company to contractually indemnify such individuals, and to assume for itself maximum liability
for claims against such persons in connection with their service;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director and/or an officer of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, free from undue
concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.&nbsp;The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company provided that the Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for
herein.

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 stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the &#147;beneficial owner&#148; (as defined in Rule&nbsp;13d-3
under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing 20% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company&#146;s then
outstanding voting securities; or (ii)&nbsp;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&#146;s stockholders 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)&nbsp;the stockholders of the Company approve 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 (iv)&nbsp;the stockholders 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&#146;s assets.

directors&#148; mean any director of the Company who is not or was not a party to the proceeding in
respect of which indemnification is being sought by a covered person.

indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys&#146; fees
and related disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by a
covered person in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or
establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement under this Agreement, Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise.

counsel&#148; means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past five
years has been retained to represent (i)&nbsp;the Company or a covered person in any matter material to
either such party, or (ii)&nbsp;any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for

serve as an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and thereafter so long

D&#038;O Insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage
provided, the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary
of the Company.

Such indemnification shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased to serve in such capacity and

judgments, fines, forfeitures, ERISA excise and other taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) incurred by the covered person in the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of a proceeding, but not entitled, however, to indemnification for the total amount thereof,
the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such person for such total amount, except as to the
portion thereof to which the covered person is not entitled by applicable law, the Company&#146;s Bylaws
or this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that a
covered person has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in the defense
of a proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including, without
limitation, the dismissal of any action without prejudice, the covered person shall be indemnified
against the total amount of any expenses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such
person in connection therewith.

a covered person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding as they are incurred;
provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of
such expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding shall be made only
upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such covered person, to repay
all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately, after a final adjudication
(including all appeals), that such person is not entitled to the payment of such expenses by the
Company.

entitlement of such covered person to indemnification, to the extent not provided pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, shall be determined and such indemnification shall be paid in full within
sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company. Such
request shall include documentation or information which is necessary for such determination and
which is reasonably available to the covered person. Upon making a request for indemnification, a
covered person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall
have the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified. If the
person or persons empowered to make such determination pursuant to Section 6(c) fail to make the
requested determination with respect to indemnification within sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written
request for indemnification has been received by the Company, a requisite determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the covered person shall be
absolutely entitled to such indemnification, absent actual and material fraud in the request for
indemnification.

by the following person or persons who shall be empowered to make such determination: (i)&nbsp;the
Board, by a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a
quorum; (ii)&nbsp;a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such
directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (iii)&nbsp;if there are no disinterested
directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the covered person; or (iv)&nbsp;the
stockholders of the Company. If a change in control has occurred and results in individuals who
were directors prior to the circumstances giving rise to the change in control ceasing for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board, such determination shall be made by independent legal
counsel of a reputable national law firm in a written opinion, and such independent counsel shall
render its written opinion to the Company and to the covered person. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of such independent legal counsel and to indemnify fully such independent legal
counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), claims, liabilities, loss and
damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of such independent legal
counsel pursuant hereto. The independent legal counsel shall be selected by the Board and approved

independent legal counsel shall be selected by the covered person and approved by the Company (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant
to the terms of an undertaking, the covered person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that indemnification is not permitted by applicable
law. Further, in any suit by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final
adjudication (including all appeals) by asserting that indemnification is not permitted by
applicable law. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, a committee thereof,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such suit that indemnification of the covered person is proper in the circumstances
because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board, a committee
thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the covered person is not entitled
to indemnification or, in the case of such a suit brought by a covered person, be a defense to such

that a covered person is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such
determination and shall be precluded from asserting that such determination has not been made or
that the procedure by which such determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. In
any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of
expenses hereunder, or by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms
of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified,

expiration of one year from the act or omission of the Indemnitee upon which such proceeding is

&#147;Transition Commencement Date&#148;), Executive will no longer hold the position of Senior Vice
President, Business Development and will be relieved of all of Executive&#146;s authority and
responsibilities in that position. Executive will be paid (a)&nbsp;any earned but unpaid base salary
for his services as an officer of the Company prior to the Transition Commencement Date and any
outstanding expense reimbursements submitted and approved pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1 of Executive&#146;s
Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of &#091;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, 2008&#093; (the &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;);

first day of the month following the Transition Commencement Date, Executive will no longer

rendered after that date

Executive of Executive&#146;s duties or obligations under this Agreement after written notice delivered
to Executive identifying such breach and his failure to cure such breach, if curable, within thirty

&#171;Management Representative&#187; on an as-needed basis at mutually-convenient times. Executive&#146;s time
rendering those services shall not exceed twenty (20)&nbsp;hours per month. Except as otherwise

Cadence, Executive has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and information concerning
Cadence&#146;s business (including confidential information relating to Cadence and its operations,
intellectual property, assets, contracts, customers, personnel, plans, marketing plans, research
and development plans and prospects). Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be virtually
impossible for Executive to work as an employee, consultant or advisor in any business in which
Cadence engages on the Transition Commencement Date, including the electronic design automation
(&#147;EDA&#148;) industry, without inevitably disclosing confidential and proprietary information belonging
to Cadence. Accordingly, during the Transition Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
provide services, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent, sole
proprietor, partner, joint venturer, corporate officer or director, on behalf of any corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, or other entity or person or successor thereto that (i)&nbsp;is
engaged in any business in which Cadence or any of its affiliates is engaged on the Transition
Commencement Date or has been engaged at any time during the 12-month period immediately preceding
the Transition Commencement Date, whether in the EDA industry or otherwise, anywhere in the world
(a &#147;Cadence Business&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;produces, markets, distributes or sells any products, directly or
indirectly through intermediaries, that are competitive with Cadence or any of its affiliates. As
used in this paragraph, the term &#147;EDA industry&#148; means the research, design or development of
electronic design automation software, electronic design verification, emulation hardware and
related products, such products containing hardware, software and both hardware and/or software
products, designs or solutions for, and all intellectual property embodied in the foregoing, or in
commercial electronic design and/or maintenance services, such services including all intellectual
property embodied in the foregoing. If, during the Transition Period, Executive receives an offer
of employment or consulting from any person or entity that engages in whole or in part in a Cadence
Business, then Executive must first obtain written approval from Cadence&#146;s CEO before accepting
said offer.

successor(s)), from voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, directly or
indirectly, individually or on behalf of persons or entities not now parties to this Agreement:

attempting to solicit or participating in any way in hiring or retaining for employment, contractor

with the relationship or prospective relationship of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate with any
former, present or future client, customer, joint venture partner, or financial backer of Cadence
or any Cadence affiliate; or (iii)&nbsp;soliciting, diverting or accepting business, in any line or area
of business engaged in by Cadence or any Cadence affiliate, from any former or present client,
customer or joint venture partner of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate (other than on behalf of
Cadence), except that Executive may solicit or accept business, in a line of business engaged in by

period of one year following the Termination Date. This paragraph 3(c) does not alter any of the

practices, employees, executives, officers, or directors, past, present or future. Similarly,
Cadence agrees to instruct its executive officers and members of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors
not to make any statement, written or oral, that disparages Executive. The restrictions described
in this paragraph shall not apply to any truthful statements made in response to a subpoena or
other compulsory legal process.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. Notwithstanding paragraph 10 hereof, the parties agree that damages would be an inadequate
remedy for Cadence in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of paragraph 3(b) or
3(c), or for Cadence or Executive in the event of a breach or threatened breach of paragraph 3(e).
In the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party may, either with or
without pursuing any potential damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and
enforce, an injunction prohibiting the other party from violating this Agreement and requiring the
other party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

Executive would not otherwise be entitled), after Executive has returned to the Company all hard

affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees (&#147;Releasees&#148;) from all causes of action,
claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, that Executive ever had or now has as of the time that Executive signs this Agreement
which relate to his hiring, his employment with the Company, the termination of his employment with
the Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions
against the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or
class actions relate to the period during which Executive was employed by the Company. The claims
released include, but are not limited to, any claims arising from or related to Executive&#146;s
employment with Cadence, such as claims arising under (as amended) Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1974, the

Agreement. If Executive accepts this Agreement, Executive will have an additional 7&nbsp;days from the
date that Executive signs this Agreement to revoke that acceptance, which Executive may effect by
means of a written notice sent to the CEO. If this 7-day period expires without a timely
revocation, this Agreement will become final and effective on the eighth day following the date of

be resolved exclusively in final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, or successor rules then in effect, of Judicial Arbitration &#038; Mediation Services,
Inc. (&#147;JAMS&#148;). The arbitration will be held in the San Jose, California, metropolitan area, and
will be conducted and administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration
proceedings, a similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Executive and Cadence will select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided by this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the administration of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies,
if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is preempted, and the
arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. Executive and Cadence
will each be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be determined by the
arbitrator consistent with the nature of the claim&#091;s&#093; in dispute. The arbitrator will have the
authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and
will apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
arbitrator will render a written award and supporting opinion that will set forth the arbitrator&#146;s
findings of fact and conclusions of law.

will be responsible for paying its own attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert witness fees and
costs, if any). However, in the event a party prevails at arbitration on a statutory claim that
entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees as part of the costs, then the

Executive&#146;s continuing obligations under Executive&#146;s Employee Proprietary Information and

withholding of any amount shall be treated as payment thereof for purposes of determining whether
Executive has been paid amounts to which he is entitled.

action hereunder, be deemed to have waived any breach by the other party of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by
the other shall neither be construed as, nor constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach or of
other breaches of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

anything herein or in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, amend this Agreement (which amendment shall be effective upon its adoption or at such
other time designated by the Company) at any time prior to a Change in Control as may be necessary

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;For valuable consideration, I irrevocably, fully and finally release Cadence, its parent,

Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions against
the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or class

To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit&nbsp;B attached hereto a complete list
of all Prior Inventions. If disclosure of any such Prior Invention(s) would cause me to violate
any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Invention(s) in
Exhibit&nbsp;B, but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the
party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been
made for that reason. A space is provided on Exhibit&nbsp;B for such purpose. If no such disclosure is
attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. I agree that I will not incorporate, or
permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions or Non-employment Inventions in any work I do for the

Invention or a Non-employment Invention into work I do for the Company, I hereby grant the Company,
and will take all reasonable actions necessary to assist the Company in obtaining, a nonexclusive,

Non-employment Inventions.

all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf during my employment, or after if based on a
Company Invention. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in writing of
any Inventions that I believe fully qualify as Non-employment Inventions and I will provide the
Company with a written account of all of the evidence necessary to substantiate my belief.

disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Non-employment
Inventions, except as reasonably necessary to exercise any licenses I may grant to the Company
regarding such Non-employment Inventions. I agree to keep in confidence and not use for any
purpose other than the performance of my duties to the Company, or disclose to third parties
without the Company&#146;s consent, any Proprietary Information or Company Inventions.

Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the &#147;Excise Tax&#148;), then Executive&#146;s Termination
Benefits hereunder shall be either (a)&nbsp;provided to Executive in full, or (b)&nbsp;provided to Executive
as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the
Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state,
local and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes,
results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits,
notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under the Excise Tax and
Executive shall have no right to Termination Benefits in excess of the amount so determined. Unless
the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section
5 shall be made in writing in good faith by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the
Company (the &#147;Accountants&#148;). In the event of a reduction of benefits hereunder, Executive shall be
given the choice of which benefits to reduce. If Executive does not provide written identification
to the Company of which benefits he chooses to reduce within ten (10)&nbsp;days after written notice of
the Accountants&#146; determination, and Executive has not disputed the Accountants&#146; determination, then
the Company shall select the benefits to be reduced. For purposes of making the calculations
required by this Section&nbsp;5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations
concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the
application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. The Company and Executive shall
furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request
in order to make a determination under this Section&nbsp;5. The Company shall bear the cost of all fees
the Accountants charge in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section&nbsp;5.

disputes, controversies or claims between Executive and the Company arising under this Agreement,
except those arising under Section 6(d) hereof or under the Proprietary Information Agreement (as
defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof), shall be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration
before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or
successor rules then in effect, and that judgment upon the award of the arbitrator may be rendered
in any court of competent jurisdiction. This includes, without limitation, any and all disputes,
controversies, and/or claims arising out of or concerning Executive&#146;s employment by the Company or
the termination of his employment or this Agreement, and includes, without limitation, claims by
Executive against directors, officers or employees of the Company, whether arising under theories
of liability or damages based on contract, tort or statute, to the full extent permitted by law. As

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">to arbitrate claims, the parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on all
statutory or other claims. This Section&nbsp;6 does not purport to limit either party&#146;s ability to
recover any remedies provided for by statute, including attorneys&#146; fees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The arbitration shall be held in the San Jose, California metropolitan area, and shall be
administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration proceedings, a
similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Under such proceeding, the parties shall select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of
remedies, if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is
preempted, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The
parties agree that they will be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be
determined by the arbitrator, consistent with the nature of the claims in dispute. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by
any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award that shall include a written statement of opinion
setting forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties intend this arbitration provision
to be valid, enforceable, irrevocable and construed as broadly as possible.

administrative fees associated with the arbitration. The parties shall be responsible for their own
attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert fees and costs), except that if any party prevails on a
statutory claim that entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or without
expert fees) as part of the costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or
without expert fees) to the prevailing party in accord with such statute.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;The parties agree, however, that damages would be an inadequate remedy for the Company in
the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision of the
Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof). In the event of any such breach
or threatened breach, Cadence may, either with or without pursuing any potential damage remedies,
obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and enforce, an injunction prohibiting Executive
from violating Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision of the Proprietary Information
Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof) and requiring Executive to comply with the terms of
those agreements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Indemnity Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;), dated as of , <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> is made by and between
Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), and <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> of the
Company (the &#147;Indemnitee&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>RECITALS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to
serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting
from their service to such corporations;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so
substantial (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such
litigation is often beyond the personal resources of officers and directors;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;The Company believes that its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries should be able to serve as such, and in such other capacities as the Company may
request, as the case may be, free from undue concern about the risk of large judgments and other
expenses that may be incurred as a result of the good faith performance of their duties to the
Company or its subsidiaries;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;The Company recognizes that the long period of time that may elapse before the trial or
other disposition of legal proceedings may extend beyond the normal time for retirement for such
director or officer, with the result that the Indemnitee, after retirement or in the event of the
Indemnitee&#146;s death, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, executors or administrators, may be faced with
limited ability and undue hardship in maintaining an adequate defense, which may discourage such
director or officer from serving in that position;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the &#147;Board&#148;) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to
serve as directors and certain officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such
individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its
subsidiaries, it is necessary, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, for
the Company to contractually indemnify such individuals, and to assume for itself maximum liability
for claims against such persons in connection with their service;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director and/or an officer of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, free from undue
concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.&nbsp;The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company provided that the Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for
herein.

any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (iii)&nbsp;the stockholders of the Company approve a

the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such

counsel&#148; means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past five
years has been retained to represent (i)&nbsp;the Company or a covered person in any matter material to

D&#038;O Insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage
provided, the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary
of the Company.

covered person has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in the defense
of a proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including, without

delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such covered person, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately, after a final adjudication (including
all appeals), that such person is not entitled to the payment of such expenses by the Company.

entitlement of such covered person to indemnification, to the extent not provided pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, shall be determined and such indemnification shall be paid in full within
sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company. Such
request shall include documentation or information which is necessary for such determination and
which is reasonably available to the covered person. Upon making a request for indemnification, a
covered person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall
have the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified. If the person
or persons empowered to make such determination pursuant to Section 6(c) fail to make the requested
determination with respect to indemnification within sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written request for
indemnification has been received by the Company, a requisite determination of entitlement to
indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the covered person shall be absolutely
entitled to such indemnification, absent actual and material fraud in the request for
indemnification.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;The determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 6(b) shall be made
by the following person or persons who shall be empowered to make such determination: (i)&nbsp;the
Board, by a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a
quorum; (ii)&nbsp;a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such
directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (iii)&nbsp;if there are no disinterested
directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the covered person: or (iv)&nbsp;the
stockholders of the Company. If a change in control has occurred and results in individuals who
were directors prior to the circumstances giving rise to the change in control ceasing for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board, such determination shall be made by independent legal
counsel of a reputable national law firm in a written opinion, and such independent counsel shall
render its written opinion to the Company and to the covered person. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of such independent legal counsel and to indemnify fully such independent legal
counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), claims, liabilities, loss and

counsel pursuant hereto. The independent legal counsel shall be selected by the Board and approved

the covered person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid

such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to
the terms of an undertaking, the covered person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to

that the procedure by which such determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. In
any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of
expenses hereunder, or by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms
of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Executive Transition and Release Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;) is entered into between
James J. Cowie (&#147;Executive&#148;) and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (&#147;Cadence&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>1.&nbsp;TRANSITION COMMENCEMENT DATE. </B>As of &#171;Transition Commencement Date&#187; (the &#147;Transition
Commencement Date&#148;), Executive will no longer hold the position of Senior Vice President and
General Counsel and will be relieved of all of Executive&#146;s authority and responsibilities in that
position. Executive will be paid (a)&nbsp;any earned but unpaid base salary for his services as an
officer of the Company prior to the Transition Commencement Date and any outstanding expense
reimbursements submitted and approved pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1 of Executive&#146;s Employment Agreement
with the Company dated as of &#091;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, 2008&#093; (the &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;); and (b)&nbsp;other unpaid
vested amounts or benefits under the compensation, incentive and benefit plans of the Company in
which Executive participates, in each case under this clause (b)&nbsp;as of the Transition Commencement
Date. The payment of the foregoing amounts shall be made to Executive by no later than the next
regular payroll date following the Transition Commencement Date. As of the first day of the month
following the Transition Commencement Date, Executive will no longer participate in Cadence&#146;s
medical, dental, and vision insurance plans (unless Executive elects to continue coverage pursuant
to COBRA), and will not be eligible for a bonus for any services rendered after that date.

Executive&#146;s employment with Cadence under this Agreement terminates (the &#147;Termination Date&#148;) is
called the &#147;Transition Period&#148; in this Agreement. Executive&#146;s Termination Date will be the earliest
to occur of:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.&nbsp;the date on which Executive resigns from all employment with Cadence;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;the date on which Cadence terminates Executive&#146;s employment due to a material breach by
Executive of Executive&#146;s duties or obligations under this Agreement after written notice delivered
to Executive identifying such breach and his failure to cure such breach, if curable, within thirty
(30)&nbsp;days following delivery of such notice; and

this position, Executive will render those services requested by Cadence&#146;s &#171;Management
Representative&#187; on an as-needed basis at mutually-convenient times. Executive&#146;s time rendering
those services shall not exceed twenty (20)&nbsp;hours per month. Except as otherwise provided in

anticipates that Executive will resume employment with Cadence in the future at a level that
exceeds the level set forth in this Section 3(a) and it is the parties&#146; intent that Executive will
have experienced a &#147;separation from service&#148; as defined in Section&nbsp;409A of the Code as of the

Cadence, Executive has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and information concerning
Cadence&#146;s business (including confidential information relating to Cadence and its operations,
intellectual property, assets, contracts, customers, personnel, plans, marketing plans, research
and development plans and prospects). Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be virtually
impossible for Executive to work as an employee, consultant or advisor in any business in which
Cadence engages on the Transition Commencement Date, including the electronic design automation
(&#147;EDA&#148;) industry, without inevitably disclosing confidential and proprietary information belonging
to Cadence. Accordingly, during the Transition Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
provide services, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent, sole
proprietor, partner, joint venturer, corporate officer or director, on behalf of any corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, or other entity or person or successor thereto that (i)&nbsp;is
engaged in any business in which Cadence or any of its affiliates is engaged on the Transition
Commencement Date or has been engaged at any time during the 12-month period immediately preceding
the Transition Commencement Date, whether in the EDA industry or otherwise, anywhere in the world
(a &#147;Cadence Business&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;produces, markets, distributes or sells any products, directly or
indirectly through intermediaries, that are competitive with Cadence or any of its affiliates. As
used in this paragraph, the term &#147;EDA industry&#148; means the research, design or development of
electronic design automation software, electronic design verification, emulation hardware and
related products, such products containing hardware, software and both hardware and/or software
products, designs or solutions for, and all intellectual property embodied in the foregoing, or in
commercial electronic design and/or maintenance services, such services including all intellectual
property embodied in the foregoing. If, during the Transition Period, Executive receives an offer
of employment or consulting from any person or entity that engages in whole or in part in a Cadence
Business, then Executive must first obtain written approval from Cadence&#146;s CEO before accepting
said offer.

by applicable law, and except with the written advance approval of Cadence&#146;s CEO (or his
successor(s)), from voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, directly or
indirectly, individually or on behalf of persons or entities not now parties to this Agreement: (i)

with the relationship or prospective relationship of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate with any
former, present or future client, customer, joint venture partner, or financial backer of Cadence
or any Cadence affiliate; or (iii)&nbsp;soliciting, diverting or accepting business, in any line or area

restrictions contained in subparagraph (i)&nbsp;of this paragraph 3(c) shall also be in effect for a

In the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party may, either with or
without pursuing any potential damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and
enforce, an injunction prohibiting the other party from violating this Agreement and requiring the
other party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

Executive would not otherwise be entitled), after Executive has returned to the Company all hard

Executive on the Transition Commencement Date and that would have vested over the twelve (12)

claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or

which relate to his hiring, his employment with the Company, the termination of his employment with
the Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions
against the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or

means of a written notice sent to the CEO. If this 7-day period expires without a timely

and Procedures, or successor rules then in effect, of Judicial Arbitration &#038; Mediation Services,
Inc. (&#147;JAMS&#148;). The arbitration will be held in the San Jose, California, metropolitan area, and
will be conducted and administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration
proceedings, a similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Executive and Cadence will select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided by this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the administration of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if
applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is preempted, and the
arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. Executive and Cadence
will each be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be determined by the
arbitrator consistent with the nature of the claim&#091;s&#093; in dispute. The arbitrator will have the
authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator will render a written award and supporting

the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Cadence will pay the arbitrator&#146;s
fees, as well as all administrative fees, associated with the arbitration. Each party will be

commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded form the scope of this Agreement. To
preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit&nbsp;B (Previous Inventions) attached
hereto a complete list of all inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived,
developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior
to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my that I wish to have
excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as &#147;Prior Inventions&#148;). If
disclosure of any such Prior Invention(s) would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality
agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Invention(s) in Exhibit&nbsp;B, but am only to
disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and
the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is
provided on Exhibit&nbsp;B for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there
are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a
Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall
have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to
sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such

be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company&#146;s prior written
consent.

assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice
or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all my right, title and interest
in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not
patentable or Registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to
practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment
with the Company. Inventions assigned to the Company, or to a third party as directed by the
Company pursuant to this Section&nbsp;2, are hereinafter referred to as &#147;Company Inventions.&#148;

as a nonassignable Invention under Section&nbsp;2870 of the California Labor Code (hereinafter &#147;Section
2870&#148;). I have reviewed the notification on Exhibit&nbsp;A (Limited Exclusion Notification) and agree
that my signature acknowledges receipt of the notification.

after termination of my employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully
and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or
jointly with others, particularly if I leave the Company and become employed by a competitor of the
Company, or if I commercialize an idea that the Company decided not to pursue. In addition, I will
promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf during my
employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in writing of any
Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under Section&nbsp;2870; and I will at that time
provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The Company
will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my
consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement
relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under the provisions of Section&nbsp;2870. I
will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under
Section&nbsp;2870. For one (1)&nbsp;year following my termination of employment any and all patent
applications filed by me or by a third party based on my work will be presumed to be owned by the

the party applying for the patent.

copyright are &#147;works made for hire,&#148; pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section
101).

foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I
will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances
as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting,
evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In
addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company
or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating
to such Company Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my
employment.

Company&#146;s extension of a credit arrangement to Executive not permissible under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 (a &#147;<B>Loan</B>&#148;), the Company will use reasonable efforts to provide Executive with a
substitute for such Loan, which is lawful and of at least equal value. If this cannot be done, or
if doing so would be significantly more expensive to the Company than making a Loan, then the
Company need not make or maintain a Loan or provide a substitute for it.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;Each of the parties expressly agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
to the extent that the enforceability of this Agreement is not thereby impaired, any and all
disputes, controversies or claims between Executive and the Company arising under this Agreement,
except those arising under Section 6(d) hereof or under the Proprietary Information Agreement (as
defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof), shall be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration
before a single arbitrator in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial
Arbitration &#038; Mediation Services, Inc. (&#147;<B>JAMS</B>&#148;), or successor rules then in effect, and that
judgment upon the award of the arbitrator may be rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
This includes, without limitation, any and all disputes, controversies, and/or claims arising out
of or concerning Executive&#146;s employment by the Company or the termination of his employment or this
Agreement, and includes, without limitation, claims by Executive against directors, officers or
employees of the Company, whether arising under theories of liability or damages based on contract,
tort or statute, to the full extent permitted by law. As a material part of this agreement to
arbitrate claims, the parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on all statutory
or other claims. This Section&nbsp;6 does not purport to limit either party&#146;s ability to recover any
remedies provided for by statute, including attorneys&#146; fees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The arbitration shall be held in the San Jose, California metropolitan area, and shall be
administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration proceedings, a
similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Under such proceeding, the parties shall select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of
remedies, if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is
preempted, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The
parties agree that they will be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be
determined by the arbitrator, consistent with the nature of the claims in dispute. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by
any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award that shall include a written statement of opinion
setting forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties intend this arbitration
provision to be valid, enforceable, irrevocable and construed as broadly as possible.

administrative fees associated with the arbitration. The parties shall be responsible for their
own attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert fees and costs), except that if any party prevails
on a statutory claim that entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or
without expert fees) as part of the costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys&#146; fees
(with or without expert fees) to the prevailing party in accord with such statute.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;The parties agree, however, that damages would be an inadequate remedy for the Company in

course of such cooperation/participation. Furthermore, Executive agrees to return to the Company
all property of the Company, including all hard and soft copies of records, documents, materials

Executive will no longer hold the position of President and Chief Executive Officer and will be
relieved of all of Executive&#146;s authority and responsibilities in that position. Executive will be
paid (a)&nbsp;any earned but unpaid base salary for his services as an officer of the Company prior to
the Transition Commencement Date and any outstanding expense reimbursements submitted and approved
pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1 of Executive&#146;s Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of January
&#091;_&#093;, 2009 (the &#147;<B>Employment Agreement</B>&#148;); and (b)&nbsp;other unpaid vested amounts or benefits under the
compensation, incentive and benefit plans of the Company in which Executive participates, in each
case under this clause (b)&nbsp;as of the Transition Commencement Date. The payment of the foregoing
amounts shall be made to Executive by no later than the next regular payroll date following the
Transition Commencement Date. As of the first day of the month following the Transition
Commencement Date, Executive will no longer participate in Cadence&#146;s medical, dental, and vision
insurance plans (unless Executive elects to continue coverage pursuant to COBRA), and will not be
eligible for a bonus for any services rendered after that date.

on an as-needed basis at mutually-convenient times. Executive&#146;s time rendering those services

concerning Cadence&#146;s business (including confidential information relating to Cadence and its
operations, intellectual property, assets, contracts, customers, personnel, plans, marketing plans,
research and development plans and prospects). Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be
virtually impossible for Executive to work as an employee, consultant or advisor in any business in
which Cadence engages on the Transition Commencement Date, including the electronic design
automation (&#147;<B>EDA</B>&#148;) industry, without inevitably disclosing confidential and proprietary information
belonging to Cadence. Accordingly, during the Transition Period, Executive will not, directly or
indirectly, provide services, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent,
sole proprietor, partner, joint venturer, corporate officer or director, on behalf of any
corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other entity or person or successor thereto
that (i)&nbsp;is engaged in any business in which Cadence or any of its affiliates is engaged on the
Transition Commencement Date or has been engaged at any time during the 12-month period immediately
preceding the Transition Commencement Date, whether in the EDA industry or otherwise, anywhere in
the world (a &#147;<B>Cadence Business</B>&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;produces, markets, distributes or sells any products,
directly or indirectly through intermediaries, that are competitive with Cadence or any of its
affiliates. As used in this paragraph, the term &#147;EDA industry&#148; means the research, design or
development of electronic design automation software, electronic design verification, emulation
hardware and related products, such products containing hardware, software and both hardware and/or
software products, designs or solutions for, and all intellectual property embodied in the
foregoing, or in commercial electronic design and/or maintenance services, such services including
all intellectual property embodied in the foregoing. If, during the Transition Period, Executive
receives an offer of employment or consulting from any person or entity that engages in whole or in
part in a Cadence Business, then Executive must first obtain written approval from Cadence&#146;s CEO
before accepting said offer. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude (x)&nbsp;Executive
from continuing to serve as Chairman and an employee of, or providing services to, Walden
International or any of its affiliated venture funds or their managing entities, as in existence on
or after the Transition Commencement Date (collectively, &#147;<B>Walden</B>&#148;), or (y)&nbsp;limit the ability of
Walden to pursue, or Executive as an executive thereof from assisting Walden in pursuing, its
investment activities in entities other than the Company.

successor(s)), from voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, directly or
indirectly, individually or on behalf of persons or entities not now parties to this Agreement: (i)

with the relationship or prospective relationship of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate with any

In the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party may, either with or

claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or

the Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions

Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1974, the

Agreement. If Executive accepts this Agreement, Executive will have an additional 7&nbsp;days from the
date that Executive signs this Agreement to revoke that acceptance, which Executive may effect by
means of a written notice sent to the CEO. If this 7-day period expires without a timely
revocation, this Agreement will become final and effective on the eighth day following the date of

will be conducted and administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration
proceedings, a similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Executive and Cadence will select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided by this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the administration of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies,
if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is preempted, and the

the scope of which will be determined by the arbitrator consistent with the nature of the claim&#091;s&#093;
in dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a
motion for summary judgment by any party and will apply the standards governing such motions under
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator will render a written award and supporting
opinion that will set forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment
upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Cadence will pay the
arbitrator&#146;s fees, as well as all administrative fees, associated with the arbitration. Each party
will be responsible for paying its own attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert witness fees and
costs, if any). However, in the event a party prevails at arbitration on a statutory claim that
entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees as part of the costs, then the

Executive&#146;s continuing obligations under Executive&#146;s Employee Proprietary Information and

Executive has been paid amounts to which he is entitled.

of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by
the other shall neither be construed as, nor constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach or of
other breaches of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

and restricted stock units) outstanding and held by Executive on the date of his termination that
would have vested over the twelve (12)&nbsp;months following the date of termination had Executive
continued in employment under his Employment Agreement during that period shall immediately vest
and become exercisable in full on the date of such termination, such equity compensation awards and
all previously vested equity compensation awards shall remain exercisable for twenty-four (24)
months from the date of such termination (but not later than the expiration of the term of the
applicable equity compensation award), and there shall be no further vesting of any equity
compensation awards thereafter; provided that this acceleration will have no effect on any other
provisions of the awards; and (ii)&nbsp;solely in the event of termination on account of Permanent
Disability, if Executive elects to continue coverage under Cadence&#146;s medical, dental and vision

employment or consulting services during the 12-month period following his termination on account
of Permanent Disability without the written consent of the Company, then all equity compensation

terminated upon such vesting and the proceeds from the sale of any such stock, and all stock, net
of exercise price, obtained upon the exercise of options that vested pursuant to the preceding
sentence and the proceeds, net of exercise price, from the sale of any such stock.

before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or

contract, tort or statute, to the full extent permitted by law. As a material part of this
agreement to arbitrate claims, the parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on
all statutory or other claims. This Section&nbsp;6 does not purport to limit either party&#146;s ability to
recover any remedies provided for by statute, including attorneys&#146; fees.

administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration proceedings, a
similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Under such proceeding, the parties shall select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of
remedies, if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is
preempted, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The
parties agree that they will be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be
determined by the arbitrator, consistent with the nature of the claims in dispute. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by
any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award that shall include a written statement of opinion
setting forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties intend this arbitration provision
to be valid, enforceable, irrevocable and construed as broadly as possible.

attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert fees and costs), except that if any party prevails on a
statutory claim that entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or without
expert fees) as part of the costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or
without expert fees) to the prevailing party in accord with such statute.

in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision
of the Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof). In the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, Cadence may, either with or without pursuing any potential
damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and enforce, an injunction
prohibiting Executive from violating Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision of the
Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof) and requiring Executive to

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Indemnity Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;), dated as of &#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;, is made by and between
Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;), and &#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;,
&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#95; of the
Company (the &#147;Indemnitee&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>RECITALS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to
serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting
from their service to such corporations;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so
substantial (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such
litigation is often beyond the personal resources of officers and directors;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;The Company believes that its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries should be able to serve as such, and in such other capacities as the Company may
request, as the case may be, free from undue concern about the risk of large judgments and other
expenses that may be incurred as a result of the good faith performance of their duties to the
Company or its subsidiaries;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;The Company recognizes that the long period of time that may elapse before the trial or
other disposition of legal proceedings may extend beyond the normal time for retirement for such
director or officer, with the result that the Indemnitee, after retirement or in the event of the
Indemnitee&#146;s death, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, executors or administrators, may be faced with
limited ability and undue hardship in maintaining an adequate defense, which may discourage such
director or officer from serving in that position;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the &#147;Board&#148;) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to
serve as directors and certain officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such
individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its
subsidiaries, it is necessary, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, for
the Company to contractually indemnify such individuals, and to assume for itself maximum liability
for claims against such persons in connection with their service;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director and/or an officer of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, free from undue
concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.&nbsp;The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company provided that the Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for
herein.

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

outstanding voting securities; or (ii)&nbsp;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&#146;s stockholders 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)&nbsp;the stockholders of the Company approve 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 (iv)&nbsp;the stockholders 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

indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys&#146; fees
and related disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by a
covered person in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or
establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement under this Agreement, Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <U>Independent Legal Counsel</U>. For purposes of this Agreement, &#147;independent legal
counsel&#148; means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past five
years has been retained to represent (i)&nbsp;the Company or a covered person in any matter material to
either such party, or (ii)&nbsp;any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a

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 the covered person in an

Agreement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <U>Proceeding</U>. For purposes of this Agreement, &#147;proceeding&#148; means any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
legislative, investigative or of any other type whatsoever, and including any of the foregoing
commenced by or on behalf of the Company, derivatively or otherwise.

Company and/or its subsidiaries in the Indemnitee&#146;s present capacity, so long as the Indemnitee is
duly appointed or elected or until such time as the Indemnitee tenders a written resignation;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create any right to
continued employment or other form of service for the Company or its subsidiaries by Indemnitee.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Indemnitee shall continue to
serve as an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and thereafter so long
as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible proceeding by reason of such service, the
Company, subject to Section&nbsp;3(b), shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in full force
and effect directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance (&#147;D&#038;O Insurance&#148;) in reasonable amounts

D&#038;O Insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage
provided, the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary
of the Company.

is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any proceeding, by reason of the fact that
the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (including any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof or any constituent corporation or any of the foregoing absorbed in
any merger) or is or was serving at the request of the Company (including such subsidiary,
affiliate or constituent corporation) as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, such person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company

Such indemnification shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased to serve in such capacity and

representatives; provided, however, that except for a proceeding pursuant to Section&nbsp;7, the Company
shall indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

judgments, fines, forfeitures, ERISA excise and other taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) incurred by the covered person in the investigation, defense, settlement or

the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such person for such total amount, except as to the

entitlement of such covered person to indemnification, to the extent not provided pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, shall be determined and such indemnification shall be paid in full within
sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company. Such
request shall include documentation or information which is necessary for such determination and
which is reasonably available to the covered person. Upon making a request for indemnification, a
covered person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall
have the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified. If the
person or persons empowered to make such determination pursuant to Section&nbsp;6(c) fail to make the
requested determination with respect to indemnification within sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written
request for indemnification has been received by the Company, a requisite determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the covered person shall be
absolutely entitled to such indemnification, absent actual and material fraud in the request for

quorum; (ii)&nbsp;a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such
directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (iii)&nbsp;if there are no disinterested
directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the covered person; or (iv)&nbsp;the
stockholders of the Company. If a change in control has occurred and results in individuals who
were directors prior to the circumstances giving rise to the change in control ceasing for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board, such determination shall be made by independent legal
counsel of a reputable national law firm in a written opinion, and such independent counsel shall
render its written opinion to the Company and to the covered person. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of such independent legal counsel and to indemnify fully such independent legal
counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), claims, liabilities, loss and
damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of such independent legal
counsel pursuant hereto. The independent legal counsel shall be selected by the Board and approved
by the covered person; provided, however, that if a change in control has occurred, such
independent legal counsel shall be selected by the covered person and approved by the Company (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Company. Such request shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the covered person and,
to the extent required pursuant to Section&nbsp;5, shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking by

pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses
upon a final adjudication (including all appeals) that indemnification is not permitted by
applicable law. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, a committee thereof,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such suit that indemnification of the covered person is proper in the circumstances
because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board, a committee
thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the covered person is not entitled
to indemnification or, in the case of such a suit brought by a covered person, be a defense to such
suit. If a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of Section&nbsp;6
that a covered person is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such
determination and shall be precluded from asserting that such determination has not been made or
that the procedure by which such determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. In
any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of
expenses hereunder, or by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms
of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified,
or to such advancement of expenses, shall be on the Company.

the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, estate, executors or administrators after the
expiration of one year from the act or omission of the Indemnitee upon which such proceeding is
based; however, in a case where the Indemnitee fraudulently conceals the facts underlying such
cause of action, no proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted after the
expiration of one year from the earlier of (a)&nbsp;the date the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company discovers such facts, or (b)&nbsp;the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company could
have discovered such facts by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Any claim or cause of action
of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including claims predicated upon the negligent act
or omission of the Indemnitee, shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by filing
of a legal action within such period. This Section&nbsp;8 shall not apply to any cause of action which
has accrued on the date hereof and of which the Indemnitee is aware on the date hereof, but as to
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has no actual knowledge apart from the Indemnitee&#146;s
knowledge.

or any covered person may have under any provision of law, the Company&#146;s Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company&#146;s disinterested directors or stockholders, other
agreements, or otherwise, both as to acts or omissions in the Indemnitee&#146;s official capacity and to
acts or omissions in another capacity while occupying the Indemnitee&#146;s position as an officer,
director or employee of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and the Indemnitee&#146;s right hereunder
shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased to serve the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator or other legal representative of
the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall supersede and replace any
prior indemnification agreements entered into

&#147;Transition Commencement Date&#148;), Executive will no longer hold the position of Senior Vice
President of Worldwide Field Operations and will be relieved of all of Executive&#146;s authority and
responsibilities in that position. Executive will be paid (a)&nbsp;any earned but unpaid base salary for
his services as an officer of the Company prior to the Transition Commencement Date and any
outstanding expense reimbursements submitted and approved pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1 of Executive&#146;s
Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of &#091;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, 2009&#093; (the &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;); and
(b)&nbsp;other unpaid vested amounts or benefits under the compensation, incentive and benefit plans of
the Company in which Executive participates, in each case under this clause (b)&nbsp;as of the
Transition Commencement Date. The payment of the foregoing amounts shall be made to Executive by
no later than the next regular payroll date following the Transition Commencement Date. As of the
first day of the month following the Transition Commencement Date, Executive will no longer
participate in Cadence&#146;s medical, dental, and vision insurance plans (unless Executive elects to
continue coverage pursuant to COBRA), and will not be eligible for a bonus for any services
rendered after that date.

Executive&#146;s employment with Cadence under this Agreement terminates (the &#147;Termination Date&#148;) is

earliest to occur of:

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. the date on which Cadence terminates Executive&#146;s employment due to a material breach by
Executive of Executive&#146;s duties or obligations under this Agreement after written notice delivered
to Executive identifying such breach and his failure to cure such breach, if curable, within thirty
(30)&nbsp;days following delivery of such notice; and

Title&#062;&#062;. In this position, Executive will render those services requested by Cadence&#146;s
&#060;&#060;Management Representative&#062;&#062; on an as-needed basis at mutually-convenient times.
Executive&#146;s time rendering those services shall not exceed twenty (20)&nbsp;hours per month. Except as
otherwise provided in paragraph 3(b) of this Agreement, Executive&#146;s obligations hereunder will not
preclude Executive from accepting and holding full-time employment elsewhere. Neither party

Executive will have experienced a &#147;separation from service&#148; as defined in Section&nbsp;409A of the Code

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. As a Cadence ((New position)), as well as other positions Executive may have held with
Cadence, Executive has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and information concerning
Cadence&#146;s business (including confidential information relating to Cadence and its operations,
intellectual property, assets, contracts, customers, personnel, plans, marketing plans, research
and development plans and prospects). Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be virtually
impossible for Executive to work as an employee, consultant or advisor in any business in which
Cadence engages on the Transition Commencement Date, including the electronic design automation
(&#147;EDA&#148;) industry, without inevitably disclosing confidential and proprietary information belonging
to Cadence. Accordingly, during the Transition Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
provide services, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent, sole
proprietor, partner, joint venturer, corporate officer or director, on behalf of any corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, or other entity or person or successor thereto that (i)&nbsp;is
engaged in any business in which Cadence or any of its affiliates is engaged on the Transition
Commencement Date or has been engaged at any time during the 12-month period immediately preceding
the Transition Commencement Date, whether in the EDA industry or otherwise, anywhere in the world
(a &#147;Cadence Business&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;produces, markets, distributes or sells any products, directly or
indirectly through intermediaries, that are competitive with Cadence or any of its affiliates. As
used in this paragraph, the term &#147;EDA industry&#148; means the research, design or development of
electronic design automation software, electronic design verification, emulation hardware and
related products, such products containing hardware, software and both hardware and/or software
products, designs or solutions for, and all intellectual property embodied in the foregoing, or in
commercial electronic design and/or maintenance services, such services including all intellectual
property embodied in the foregoing. If, during the Transition Period, Executive receives an offer
of employment or consulting from any person or entity that engages in whole or in part in a Cadence
Business, then Executive must first obtain written approval from Cadence&#146;s CEO before accepting
said offer.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. During the Transition Period, Executive will be prohibited, to the fullest extent allowed
by applicable law, and except with the written advance approval of Cadence&#146;s CEO (or his
successor(s)), from voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, directly or
indirectly, individually or on behalf of persons or entities not now parties to this Agreement: (i)
encouraging, inducing, attempting to induce, recruiting, attempting to recruit, soliciting or
attempting to solicit or participating in any way in hiring or retaining for employment, contractor
or consulting opportunities anyone who is employed at that time, or was employed during the
previous one year, by Cadence or any Cadence affiliate; (ii)&nbsp;interfering or attempting to interfere
with the relationship or prospective relationship of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate with any
former, present or future client, customer, joint venture partner, or financial backer of Cadence
or any Cadence affiliate; or (iii)&nbsp;soliciting, diverting or accepting business, in any line or area
of business engaged in by Cadence or any Cadence affiliate, from any former or present client,
customer or joint venture partner of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate (other than on behalf of
Cadence), except that Executive may solicit or accept business, in a line of business engaged in by
Cadence or a Cadence affiliate, from a former or present client, if and only if Executive had

practices, employees, executives, officers, or directors, past, present or future. Similarly,
Cadence agrees to instruct its executive officers and members of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors
not to make any statement, written or oral, that disparages Executive. The restrictions described

3(c), or for Cadence or Executive in the event of a breach or threatened breach of paragraph 3(e).
In the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party may, either with or
without pursuing any potential damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and
enforce, an injunction prohibiting the other party from violating this Agreement and requiring the
other party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or

which relate to his hiring, his employment with the Company, the termination of his employment with
the Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions
against the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or

date that Executive signs this Agreement to revoke that acceptance, which Executive may effect by
means of a written notice sent to the CEO. If this 7-day period expires without a timely

be resolved exclusively in final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, or successor rules then in effect, of Judicial Arbitration &#038; Mediation Services,
Inc. (&#147;JAMS&#148;). The arbitration will be held in the San Jose, California, metropolitan area, and
will be conducted and administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration
proceedings, a similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Executive and Cadence will select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided by this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the administration of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if
applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is preempted, and the
arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. Executive and Cadence
will each be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be determined by the
arbitrator consistent with the nature of the claim&#091;s&#093; in dispute. The arbitrator will have the
authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and
will apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
arbitrator will render a written award and supporting opinion that will set forth the arbitrator&#146;s
findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Cadence will pay the arbitrator&#146;s fees, as well as all administrative fees,
associated with the arbitration. Each party will be responsible for paying its own attorneys&#146; fees
and costs (including expert witness fees and costs, if any). However, in the event a party prevails

of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by
the other shall neither be construed as, nor constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach or of
other breaches of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

anything herein or in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, amend this Agreement (which amendment shall be effective upon its adoption or at such
other time designated by the Company) at any time prior to a Change in Control as may be necessary
to avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Section&nbsp;409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code; provided,
however, that any such amendment shall not materially reduce the benefits provided to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement without the Executive&#146;s consent.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. For valuable consideration, I irrevocably, fully and finally release Cadence, its parent,
subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees (&#147;Releasees&#148;) from all causes
of action, claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, that I ever had or now have as of the time that I sign this Agreement
which relate to my hiring or employment with the Company, the termination of my employment with the
Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions against
the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or class
actions relate to the period during my employment with the Company. The claims released include,
but are not limited to, any claims arising from or related to my employment with Cadence, such as
claims arising under (as amended) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act
of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1974, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the

vested right I have to benefits under an ERISA plan), the state and federal Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, and the California Business and Professions Code; any other local,
state, federal, or foreign law governing employment; and the common law of contract and tort. In
no event, however, shall any claims, causes of action, suits, demands or other obligations or

waived.

before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or
successor rules then in effect, and that judgment upon the award of the arbitrator may be rendered
in any court of competent jurisdiction. This includes, without limitation, any and all disputes,

or employees of the Company, whether arising under theories of liability or damages based on
contract, tort or statute, to the full extent permitted by law. As a material part of this
agreement to arbitrate claims, the parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on
all statutory or other claims. This Section&nbsp;6 does not purport to limit either party&#146;s ability to
recover any remedies provided for by statute, including attorneys&#146; fees.

administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration proceedings, a
similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Under such proceeding, the parties shall select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of
remedies, if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is
preempted, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The
parties agree that they will be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be
determined by the arbitrator, consistent with the nature of the claims in dispute. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by
any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award that shall include a written statement of opinion
setting forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties intend this arbitration provision
to be valid, enforceable, irrevocable and construed as broadly as possible.

attorneys&#146; fees and costs (including expert fees and costs), except that if any party prevails on a
statutory claim that entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or without
expert fees) as part of the costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or
without expert fees) to the prevailing party in accord with such statute.

of the Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof). In the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, Cadence may, either with or without pursuing any potential
damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and enforce, an injunction
prohibiting Executive from violating Section&nbsp;1.3 of this Agreement or any provision of the
Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof) and requiring Executive to

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Indemnity Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;), dated as of <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, is made by and between
Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), and <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> of the
Company (the &#147;Indemnitee&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>RECITALS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to
serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting
from their service to such corporations;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so
substantial (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such
litigation is often beyond the personal resources of officers and directors;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;The Company believes that its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries should be able to serve as such, and in such other capacities as the Company may
request, as the case may be, free from undue concern about the risk of large judgments and other
expenses that may be incurred as a result of the good faith performance of their duties to the
Company or its subsidiaries;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;The Company recognizes that the long period of time that may elapse before the trial or
other disposition of legal proceedings may extend beyond the normal time for retirement for such
director or officer, with the result that the Indemnitee, after retirement or in the event of the
Indemnitee&#146;s death, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, executors or administrators, may be faced with
limited ability and undue hardship in maintaining an adequate defense, which may discourage such
director or officer from serving in that position;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the &#147;Board&#148;) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to
serve as directors and certain officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such
individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its
subsidiaries, it is necessary, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, for
the Company to contractually indemnify such individuals, and to assume for itself maximum liability
for claims against such persons in connection with their service;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director and/or an officer of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, free from undue
concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company; and

outstanding voting securities; or (ii)&nbsp;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&#146;s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least

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)&nbsp;the stockholders of the Company approve 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 (iv)&nbsp;the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete

affiliate or constituent corporation) as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, such person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Company&#146;s Bylaws, against all
expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines,
forfeitures, ERISA excise and other taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.
Such indemnification shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased to serve in such capacity and
shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee&#146;s heirs, executors, administrators and other legal
representatives; provided, however, that except for a proceeding pursuant to Section&nbsp;7, the Company
shall indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

ERISA excise and other taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to such person or a third party on the covered person&#146;s behalf by D&#038;O

any expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines, forfeitures, ERISA excise and other taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) incurred by the covered person in the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of a proceeding, but not entitled, however, to indemnification for the total amount thereof,
the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such person for such total amount, except as to the
portion thereof to which the covered person is not entitled by applicable law, the Company&#146;s Bylaws
or this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that a
covered person has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in the defense
of a proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including, without
limitation, the dismissal of any action without prejudice, the covered person shall be indemnified

provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of

requested determination with respect to indemnification within sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written

by the following person or persons who shall be empowered to make such determination: (i)&nbsp;the
Board, by a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a
quorum; (ii)&nbsp;a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such
directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (iii)&nbsp;if there are no disinterested
directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the covered person; or (iv)&nbsp;the
stockholders of the Company. If a change in control has occurred and results in individuals who
were directors prior to the circumstances giving rise to the change in control ceasing for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board, such determination shall be made by independent legal
counsel of a reputable national law firm in a written opinion, and such independent counsel shall
render its written opinion to the Company and to the covered person. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of such independent legal counsel and to indemnify fully such independent legal
counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), claims, liabilities, loss and
damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of such independent legal
counsel pursuant hereto. The independent legal counsel shall be selected by the Board and approved
by the covered person; provided, however, that if a change in control has occurred, such
independent legal counsel shall be selected by the covered person and approved by the Company (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Company. Such request shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the covered person and,
to the extent required pursuant to Section&nbsp;5, shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking by

to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the covered person and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to the covered person
under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the covered person with
respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i)&nbsp;the covered person shall have the right to employ

request for an advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Company within twenty (20)&nbsp;days
after a written request for such payment has been received by the Company pursuant to Section&nbsp;6(d),
the covered person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid
amount of any claim for indemnification or advancement. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to
the terms of an undertaking, the covered person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that indemnification is not permitted by applicable
law. Further, in any suit by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final
adjudication (including all appeals) that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.
Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, a committee thereof, independent legal
counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit
that indemnification of the covered person is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor
an actual determination by the Company (including the Board, a committee thereof, independent legal
counsel or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct,
shall create a presumption that the covered person is not entitled to indemnification or, in the
case of such a suit brought by a covered person, be a defense to such suit. If a determination is
made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of Section&nbsp;6 that a covered person is
entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination and shall be
precluded from asserting that such determination has not been made or that the procedure by which
such determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. In any suit brought by a
covered person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or
by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement
of expenses, shall be on the Company.

cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries against
the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, estate, executors or administrators after the
expiration of one year from the act or omission of the Indemnitee upon which such proceeding is
based; however, in a case where the Indemnitee fraudulently conceals the facts underlying such
cause of action, no proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted after the
expiration of one year from the earlier of (a)&nbsp;the date the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company discovers such facts, or (b)&nbsp;the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company could
have discovered such facts by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Any claim or cause of action
of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including claims predicated upon the negligent act
or omission of the Indemnitee, shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by filing
of a legal action within such period. This Section&nbsp;8 shall not apply to any cause of action which
has accrued on the date hereof and of which the Indemnitee is aware on the date hereof, but as to
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has no actual knowledge apart from the Indemnitee&#146;s
knowledge.

Cadence, Executive has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and information concerning
Cadence&#146;s business (including confidential information relating to Cadence and its operations,
intellectual property, assets, contracts, customers, personnel, plans, marketing plans, research
and development plans and prospects). Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be virtually
impossible for Executive to work as an employee, consultant or advisor in any business in which
Cadence engages on the Transition Commencement Date, including the electronic design automation
(&#147;EDA&#148;) industry, without inevitably disclosing confidential and proprietary information belonging
to Cadence. Accordingly, during the Transition Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
provide services, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent, sole
proprietor, partner, joint venturer, corporate officer or director, on behalf of any corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, or other entity or person or successor thereto that (i)&nbsp;is
engaged in any business in which Cadence or any of its affiliates is engaged on the Transition
Commencement Date or has been engaged at any time during the 12-month period immediately preceding
the Transition Commencement Date, whether in the EDA industry or otherwise, anywhere in the world
(a &#147;Cadence Business&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;produces, markets, distributes or sells any products, directly or
indirectly through intermediaries, that are competitive with Cadence or any of its affiliates. As
used in this paragraph, the term &#147;EDA industry&#148; means the research, design or development of
electronic design automation software, electronic design verification, emulation hardware and
related products, such products containing hardware, software and both hardware and/or software
products, designs or solutions for, and all intellectual property embodied in the foregoing, or in
commercial electronic design and/or maintenance services, such services including all intellectual
property embodied in the foregoing. If, during the Transition Period, Executive receives an offer
of employment or consulting from any person or entity that engages in whole or in part in a Cadence
Business, then Executive must first obtain written approval from Cadence&#146;s CEO before accepting
said offer.

will be conducted and administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration
proceedings, a similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Executive and Cadence will select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided by this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the administration of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if
applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is preempted, and the
arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. Executive and Cadence
will each be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be determined by the
arbitrator consistent with the nature of the claim&#091;s&#093; in dispute. The arbitrator will have the
authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and
will apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
arbitrator will render a written award and supporting opinion that will set forth the arbitrator&#146;s
findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Cadence will pay the arbitrator&#146;s fees, as well as all administrative fees,
associated with the arbitration. Each party will be responsible for paying its own attorneys&#146; fees
and costs (including expert witness fees and costs, if any). However, in the event a party prevails

to abide by Cadence&#146;s policies while serving as a Cadence employee, including but not limited to
Cadence&#146;s Employee Handbook, Sexual Harassment Policy and Code of Business Conduct, or Executive&#146;s
continuing obligations under Executive&#146;s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement,
or any other agreement governing the disclosure and/or use of proprietary information, which
Executive signed while working with Cadence or its predecessors; nor to waive any of Executive&#146;s
obligations under state and federal trade secret laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>13.&nbsp;FULL SATISFACTION OF COMPENSATION OBLIGATIONS; ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION. </B>Executive agrees
that the payments and benefits provided herein satisfy in full all obligations of Cadence to
Executive arising out of or in connection with Executive&#146;s employment through the Termination Date,
including, without limitation, all compensation, salary, bonuses, reimbursement of expenses, and
benefits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>14.&nbsp;TAXES AND OTHER WITHHOLDINGS. </B>Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company may withhold from amounts payable hereunder all federal, state, local and foreign taxes and
other amounts that are required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations, and the
withholding of any amount shall be treated as payment thereof for purposes of determining whether
Executive has been paid amounts to which he is entitled.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>15.&nbsp;WAIVER. </B>Neither party shall, by mere lapse of time, without giving notice or taking other
action hereunder, be deemed to have waived any breach by the other party of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by
the other shall neither be construed as, nor constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach or of
other breaches of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>16.&nbsp;MODIFICATION. </B>This Agreement may not be modified unless such modification is embodied in
writing, signed by the party against whom the modification is to be enforced. Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, amend this Agreement (which amendment shall be effective upon its adoption or at such
other time designated by the Company) at any time prior to a Change in Control as may be necessary
to avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Section&nbsp;409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code; provided,
however, that any such amendment shall not materially reduce the benefits provided to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement without the Executive&#146;s consent.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;For valuable consideration, I irrevocably, fully and finally release Cadence, its parent,
subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees (&#147;Releasees&#148;) from all causes
of action, claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, that I ever had or now have as of the time that I sign this Agreement
which relate to my hiring or employment with the Company, the termination of my employment with the
Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions against
the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or class
actions relate to the period during my employment with the Company. The claims released include,
but are not limited to, any claims arising from or related to my employment with Cadence, such as
claims arising under (as amended) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act
of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1974, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the
Equal Pay Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the
California Labor Code, the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974 (except for any
vested right I have to benefits under an ERISA plan), the state and federal Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, and the California Business and Professions Code; any other local,
state, federal, or foreign law governing employment; and the common law of contract and tort. In
no event, however, shall any claims, causes of action, suits, demands or other obligations or
liabilities be released pursuant to the foregoing if and to the extent they relate to:

of my Executive Transition and Release Agreement with Cadence or pursuant to the provisions
designated in Section&nbsp;9.9 of my Employment Agreement with Cadence to survive the termination of my
full-time employment;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.&nbsp;claims for workers&#146; compensation benefits under any of the Company&#146;s workers&#146; compensation

waived.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;I intend that this Release cover all claims described above, whether or not known to me. I
further recognize the risk that, subsequent to the execution of this Release, I may incur loss,
damage or injury which I attribute to the claims encompassed by this Release. I expressly assume
this risk by signing this Release and voluntarily and specifically waive any rights conferred by
California Civil Code section 1542 which provides as follows:

contract, tort or statute, to the full extent permitted by law. As a material part of this
agreement to arbitrate claims, the parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on
all statutory or other claims. This Section&nbsp;6 does not purport to limit either party&#146;s ability to
recover any remedies provided for by statute, including attorneys&#146; fees.

administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration proceedings, a
similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Under such proceeding, the parties shall select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of
remedies, if applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is
preempted, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The
parties agree that they will be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be
determined by the arbitrator, consistent with the nature of the claims in dispute. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by
any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award that shall include a written statement of opinion
setting forth the arbitrator&#146;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties intend this arbitration provision
to be valid, enforceable, irrevocable and construed as broadly as possible.

statutory claim that entitles the prevailing party to reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or without
expert fees) as part of the costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys&#146; fees (with or
without expert fees) to the prevailing party in accord with such statute.

of the Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section&nbsp;8 hereof). In the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, Cadence may, either with or without pursuing any potential
damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and enforce, an injunction

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Indemnity Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;), dated as of <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, is made by and between
Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), and <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> of the
Company (the &#147;Indemnitee&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>RECITALS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to
serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting
from their service to such corporations;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so
substantial (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such
litigation is often beyond the personal resources of officers and directors;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;The Company believes that its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries should be able to serve as such, and in such other capacities as the Company may
request, as the case may be, free from undue concern about the risk of large judgments and other
expenses that may be incurred as a result of the good faith performance of their duties to the
Company or its subsidiaries;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;The Company recognizes that the long period of time that may elapse before the trial or
other disposition of legal proceedings may extend beyond the normal time for retirement for such
director or officer, with the result that the Indemnitee, after retirement or in the event of the
Indemnitee&#146;s death, the Indemnitee&#146;s spouse, heirs, executors or administrators, may be faced with
limited ability and undue hardship in maintaining an adequate defense, which may discourage such
director or officer from serving in that position;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the &#147;Board&#148;) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to
serve as directors and certain officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such
individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its
subsidiaries, it is necessary, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, for
the Company to contractually indemnify such individuals, and to assume for itself maximum liability
for claims against such persons in connection with their service;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director and/or an officer of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, free from undue
concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company and/or the
subsidiaries of the Company; and

outstanding voting securities; or (ii)&nbsp;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&#146;s stockholders 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)&nbsp;the stockholders of the Company approve 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

under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of
any expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines, forfeitures, ERISA excise and other taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) incurred by the covered person in the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of a proceeding, but not entitled, however, to indemnification for the total amount thereof,
the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such person for such total amount, except as to the
portion thereof to which the covered person is not entitled by applicable law, the Company&#146;s Bylaws
or this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that a
covered person has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in the defense
of a proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including, without
limitation, the dismissal of any action without prejudice, the covered person shall be indemnified
against the total amount of any expenses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such
person in connection therewith.

a covered person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding as they are incurred;
provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of
such expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding shall be made only
upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such covered person, to repay
all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately, after a final

to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any liability it may have to such covered

terms of this Agreement, shall be determined and such indemnification shall be paid in full within
sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company. Such
request shall include documentation or information which is necessary for such determination and
which is reasonably available to the covered person. Upon making a request for indemnification, a
covered person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall
have the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified. If the
person or persons empowered to make such determination pursuant to Section 6(c) fail to make the
requested determination with respect to indemnification within sixty (60)&nbsp;days after a written
request for indemnification has been received by the Company, a requisite determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the covered person shall be
absolutely entitled to such indemnification, absent actual and material fraud in the request for
indemnification.

by the following person or persons who shall be empowered to make such determination: (i)&nbsp;the
Board, by a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a
quorum; (ii)&nbsp;a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such
directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (iii)&nbsp;if there are no disinterested
directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the covered person; or (iv)&nbsp;the
stockholders of the Company. If a change in control has occurred and results in individuals who
were directors prior to the circumstances giving rise to the change in control ceasing for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board, such determination shall be made by independent legal
counsel of a reputable national law firm in a written opinion, and such independent counsel shall
render its written opinion to the Company and to the covered person. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of such independent legal counsel and to indemnify fully such independent legal
counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), claims, liabilities, loss and
damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of such independent legal

by the covered person; provided, however, that if a change in control has occurred, such
independent legal counsel shall be selected by the covered person and approved by the Company (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to the covered person
under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the covered person with

request for an advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Company within twenty (20)&nbsp;days
after a written request for such payment has been received by the Company pursuant to Section&nbsp;6(d),
the covered person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid
amount of any claim for indemnification or advancement. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to
the terms of an undertaking, the covered person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that indemnification is not permitted by applicable
law. Further, in any suit by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final
adjudication (including all appeals) that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.
Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, a committee thereof, independent legal
counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit

counsel or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct,

case of such a suit brought by a covered person, be a defense to such suit. If a determination is
made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of Section&nbsp;6 that a covered person is
entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination and shall be
precluded from asserting that such determination has not been made or that the procedure by which
such determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. In any suit brought by a
covered person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or
by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement

expiration of one year from the act or omission of the Indemnitee upon which such proceeding is
based; however, in a case where the Indemnitee fraudulently conceals the facts underlying such
cause of action, no proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted after the
expiration of one year from the earlier of (a)&nbsp;the date the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company discovers such facts, or (b)&nbsp;the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company could
have discovered such facts by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Any claim or cause of action
of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including claims predicated upon the negligent act
or omission of the Indemnitee, shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by filing
of a legal action within such period. This Section&nbsp;8 shall not apply to any cause of action which
has accrued on the date hereof and of which the Indemnitee is aware on the date hereof, but as to
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has no actual knowledge apart from the Indemnitee&#146;s
knowledge.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Executive Transition and Release Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;) is entered into between
Nimish Modi (&#147;Executive&#148;) and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (&#147;Cadence&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>1.&nbsp;TRANSITION COMMENCEMENT DATE</B>. As of &#060;&#060;Transition Commencement Date&#062;&#062; (the
&#147;Transition Commencement Date&#148;), Executive will no longer hold the position of Senior Vice
President of Research and Development and will be relieved of all of Executive&#146;s authority and
responsibilities in that position. Executive will be paid (a)&nbsp;any earned but unpaid base salary for
his services as an officer of the Company prior to the Transition Commencement Date and any
outstanding expense reimbursements submitted and approved pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1 of Executive&#146;s
Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of &#091;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, 2009&#093; (the &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;); and
(b)&nbsp;other unpaid vested amounts or benefits under the compensation, incentive and benefit plans of
the Company in which Executive participates, in each case under this clause (b)&nbsp;as of the
Transition Commencement Date. The payment of the foregoing amounts shall be made to Executive by
no later than the next regular payroll date following the Transition Commencement Date. As of the
first day of the month following the Transition Commencement Date, Executive will no longer
participate in Cadence&#146;s medical, dental, and vision insurance plans (unless Executive elects to
continue coverage pursuant to COBRA), and will not be eligible for a bonus for any services
rendered after that date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>2.&nbsp;TRANSITION PERIOD. </B>The period from the Transition Commencement Date to the date when
Executive&#146;s employment with Cadence under this Agreement terminates (the &#147;Termination Date&#148;) is
called the &#147;Transition Period&#148; in this Agreement. Executive&#146;s Termination Date will be the
earliest to occur of:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.&nbsp;the date on which Executive resigns from all employment with Cadence;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;the date on which Cadence terminates Executive&#146;s employment due to a material breach by
Executive of Executive&#146;s duties or obligations under this Agreement after written notice delivered
to Executive identifying such breach and his failure to cure such breach, if curable, within thirty
(30)&nbsp;days following delivery of such notice; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.&nbsp;one year from the Transition Commencement Date.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.&nbsp;During the Transition Period, Executive will assume the position of&#060;&#060;New Position
Title&#062;&#062;. In this position, Executive will render those services requested by Cadence&#146;s
&#060;&#060;Management Representative&#062;&#062; on an as-needed basis at mutually-convenient times.
Executive&#146;s time rendering those services shall not exceed twenty (20)&nbsp;hours per month. Except as
otherwise provided in paragraph 3(b) of this Agreement, Executive&#146;s obligations hereunder will not
preclude Executive from accepting and holding full-time employment elsewhere. Neither party
expects that Executive will resume employment with Cadence in the future at a

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">level that exceeds the level set forth in this Section 3(a) and it is the parties&#146; intent that
Executive will have experienced a &#147;separation from service&#148; as defined in Section&nbsp;409A of the Code
as of the Transition Commencement Date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;As a Cadence ((New position)), as well as other positions Executive may have held with
Cadence, Executive has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and information concerning
Cadence&#146;s business (including confidential information relating to Cadence and its operations,
intellectual property, assets, contracts, customers, personnel, plans, marketing plans, research
and development plans and prospects). Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be virtually
impossible for Executive to work as an employee, consultant or advisor in any business in which
Cadence engages on the Transition Commencement Date, including the electronic design automation
(&#147;EDA&#148;) industry, without inevitably disclosing confidential and proprietary information belonging
to Cadence. Accordingly, during the Transition Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
provide services, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent, sole
proprietor, partner, joint venturer, corporate officer or director, on behalf of any corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, or other entity or person or successor thereto that (i)&nbsp;is
engaged in any business in which Cadence or any of its affiliates is engaged on the Transition
Commencement Date or has been engaged at any time during the 12-month period immediately preceding
the Transition Commencement Date, whether in the EDA industry or otherwise, anywhere in the world
(a &#147;Cadence Business&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;produces, markets, distributes or sells any products, directly or
indirectly through intermediaries, that are competitive with Cadence or any of its affiliates. As
used in this paragraph, the term &#147;EDA industry&#148; means the research, design or development of
electronic design automation software, electronic design verification, emulation hardware and
related products, such products containing hardware, software and both hardware and/or software
products, designs or solutions for, and all intellectual property embodied in the foregoing, or in
commercial electronic design and/or maintenance services, such services including all intellectual
property embodied in the foregoing. If, during the Transition Period, Executive receives an offer
of employment or consulting from any person or entity that engages in whole or in part in a Cadence
Business, then Executive must first obtain written approval from Cadence&#146;s CEO before accepting
said offer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.&nbsp;During the Transition Period, Executive will be prohibited, to the fullest extent allowed
by applicable law, and except with the written advance approval of Cadence&#146;s CEO (or his
successor(s)), from voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, directly or
indirectly, individually or on behalf of persons or entities not now parties to this Agreement: (i)
encouraging, inducing, attempting to induce, recruiting, attempting to recruit, soliciting or
attempting to solicit or participating in any way in hiring or retaining for employment, contractor
or consulting opportunities anyone who is employed at that time, or was employed during the
previous one year, by Cadence or any Cadence affiliate; (ii)&nbsp;interfering or attempting to interfere
with the relationship or prospective relationship of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate with any
former, present or future client, customer, joint venture partner, or financial backer of Cadence
or any Cadence affiliate; or (iii)&nbsp;soliciting, diverting or accepting business, in any line or area
of business engaged in by Cadence or any Cadence affiliate, from any former or present client,
customer or joint venture partner of Cadence or any Cadence affiliate (other than on behalf of
Cadence), except that Executive may solicit or accept business, in a line of business engaged in by
Cadence or a Cadence affiliate, from a former or present client, if and only if Executive had

ever being employed by Cadence, but in no event may Executive violate paragraph 3(b) hereof. The
restrictions contained in subparagraph (i)&nbsp;of this paragraph 3(c) shall also be in effect for a
period of one year following the Termination Date. This paragraph 3(c) does not alter any of the
obligations the Executive may have under the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement, dated as of August&nbsp;21, 2006.

practices, employees, executives, officers, or directors, past, present or future. Similarly,
Cadence agrees to instruct its executive officers and members of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors
not to make any statement, written or oral, that disparages Executive. The restrictions described
in this paragraph shall not apply to any truthful statements made in response to a subpoena or
other compulsory legal process.

remedy for Cadence in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of paragraph 3(b) or
3(c), or for Cadence or Executive in the event of a breach or threatened breach of paragraph 3(e).
In the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party may, either with or
without pursuing any potential damage remedies, obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction, and
enforce, an injunction prohibiting the other party from violating this Agreement and requiring the
other party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

Executive would not otherwise be entitled), after Executive has returned to the Company all hard

of the Company pursuant to his Employment Agreement, shall immediately vest and become exercisable

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.&nbsp;Executive intends that this release of claims cover all claims described above, whether or
not known to Executive. Executive further recognizes the risk that, subsequent to the execution of
this Agreement, Executive may incur loss, damage or injury which Executive attributes to the claims
encompassed by this release. Executive expressly assumes this risk by signing this Agreement and
voluntarily and specifically waives any rights conferred by California Civil Code section 1542
which provides as follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the
debtor.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.&nbsp;Executive represents and warrants that there has been no assignment or other transfer of
any interest in any claim by Executive that is covered by this release.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>9.&nbsp;REVIEW OF AGREEMENT; REVOCATION OF ACCEPTANCE. </B>Executive has been given at least 21&nbsp;days in
which to review and consider this Agreement, although Executive is free to accept this Agreement
anytime within that 21-day period. Executive is advised to consult with an attorney about the
Agreement. If Executive accepts this Agreement, Executive will have an additional 7&nbsp;days from the
date that Executive signs this Agreement to revoke that acceptance, which Executive may effect by
means of a written notice sent to the CEO. If this 7-day period expires without a timely
revocation, this Agreement will become final and effective on the eighth day following the date of
Executive&#146;s signature, which eighth day will be the &#147;Effective Date&#148; of this Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>10.&nbsp;ARBITRATION. </B>Subject to paragraph 3(f) hereof, all claims, disputes, questions, or
controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including without limitation the
construction or application of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Agreement, will
be resolved exclusively in final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, or successor rules then in effect, of Judicial Arbitration &#038; Mediation Services,
Inc. (&#147;JAMS&#148;). The arbitration will be held in the San Jose, California, metropolitan area, and
will be conducted and administered by JAMS or, in the event JAMS does not then conduct arbitration
proceedings, a similarly reputable arbitration administrator. Executive and Cadence will select a
mutually acceptable, neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. Except as
provided by this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the administration of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if
applicable) of the State of California, or federal law, if California law is preempted, and the
arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. Executive and Cadence
will each be allowed to engage in adequate discovery, the scope of which will be determined by the
arbitrator consistent with the nature of the claim&#091;s&#093; in dispute. The arbitrator will have the
authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and
will apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
arbitrator will render a written award and supporting opinion that will set forth the arbitrator&#146;s
findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Cadence will pay the arbitrator&#146;s fees, as well as all administrative fees,
associated with the arbitration. Each party will be responsible for paying its own attorneys&#146; fees
and costs (including expert witness fees and costs, if any). However, in the event a party prevails
at arbitration on a statutory claim that

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>11.&nbsp;NO ADMISSION OF LIABILITY. </B>Nothing in this Agreement will constitute or be construed in

final expression of their rights and duties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement. Except
as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to negate Executive&#146;s agreement
to abide by Cadence&#146;s policies while serving as a Cadence employee, including but not limited to
Cadence&#146;s Employee Handbook, Sexual Harassment Policy and Code of Business Conduct, or Executive&#146;s
continuing obligations under Executive&#146;s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement,
or any other agreement governing the disclosure and/or use of proprietary information, which
Executive signed while working with Cadence or its predecessors; nor to waive any of Executive&#146;s
obligations under state and federal trade secret laws.

that the payments and benefits provided herein satisfy in full all obligations of Cadence to
Executive arising out of or in connection with Executive&#146;s employment through the Termination Date,
including, without limitation, all compensation, salary, bonuses, reimbursement of expenses, and
benefits.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>14.&nbsp;TAXES AND OTHER WITHHOLDINGS. </B>Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company may withhold from amounts payable hereunder all federal, state, local and foreign taxes and
other amounts that are required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations, and the
withholding of any amount shall be treated as payment thereof for purposes of determining whether
Executive has been paid amounts to which he is entitled.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>15.&nbsp;WAIVER. </B>Neither party shall, by mere lapse of time, without giving notice or taking other
action hereunder, be deemed to have waived any breach by the other party of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by
the other shall neither be construed as, nor constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach or of
other breaches of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>16.&nbsp;MODIFICATION. </B>This Agreement may not be modified unless such modification is embodied in
writing, signed by the party against whom the modification is to be enforced. Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, amend this Agreement (which amendment shall be effective upon its adoption or at such
other time designated by the Company) at any time prior to a Change in Control as may be necessary
to avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Section&nbsp;409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code; provided,
however, that any such amendment shall not materially reduce the benefits provided to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement without the Executive&#146;s consent.

RELEASE OF CLAIMS</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;For valuable consideration, I irrevocably, fully and finally release Cadence, its parent,
subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees (&#147;Releasees&#148;) from all causes
of action, claims, suits, demands or other obligations or liabilities, whether known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, that I ever had or now have as of the time that I sign this Agreement

Company and claims asserted in shareholder derivative actions or shareholder class actions against
the Company and its officers and Board of Directors, to the extent those derivative or class
actions relate to the period during my employment with the Company. The claims released include,
but are not limited to, any claims arising from or related to my employment with Cadence, such as
claims arising under (as amended) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act
of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1974, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the
Equal Pay Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the

vested right I have to benefits under an ERISA plan), the state and federal Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, and the California Business and Professions Code; any other local,
state, federal, or foreign law governing employment; and the common law of contract and tort. In
no event, however, shall any claims, causes of action, suits, demands or other obligations or
