            TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT

The following terms and conditions govern the Agreement between the parties:

1.   Appointment and License.

          (a)  Appointment. Company hereby appoints Distributor as a
nonexclusive Distributor for the Products in the Territory set forth in Schedule
I on Exhibit A. Distributor's sole authority is to market the Products and to
solicit sales opportunities in the form of a "Pre-Sales Registration" (as
defined in Schedule 1 on Exhibit A). Distributor shall not advertise or
otherwise market Company Products or otherwise solicit customers outside of the
Territory.

          (b)  Reserved Rights. Company reserves the right to (i) solicit orders
directly from and sell directly to any customer and all distributors or other
intermediaries within the Territory, and (ii) appoint other distributors or
other distributors on a non-exclusive basis to sell the Products in the
Territory. Company shall pay no compensation to Distributor for orders not based
on a Pre-Sales Registration accepted by Company under Section 2(a).

          (c)  Products. Distributor shall solicit sales opportunities for
Products based upon the products described on the "product List" (Exhibit B).
Company may revise the Product List to add or delete Products upon 30 days prior
written notice to Distributor. Revisions will apply to all Pre-Sales
Registrations accepted by Company after the effective date of the revision.

          (d)  Independent Contractor. The relationship of Company and
Distributor established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors,
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) give either
party the power to direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other,
(ii) constitute the parties as partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise
as participants in a joint undertaking or (iii) allow Distributor to create or
assume any obligation on behalf of Company for any purpose whatsoever. All
financial and other obligations associated with Distributor's business are the
sole responsibility of Distributor. Distributor's only authority is to market
Products and solicit sales opportunities as described in Section l(a).

2. Pre-Sales Registration; Product Ordering and Purchase

          (a)  Pre-Sales Registration. Distributor shall submit a Pre-Sales
Registration of all sales opportunities to Company at the beginning of
Distributor's sales cycle for the Products. The Pie-Sales Registration must be
made by completing a "Design Forecast/Re--on Reporting Form" (Exhibit (3) in
accordance with the "Registration Process" (Exhibit F). Company shall review the
Design Forecast/Registration Reporting Forms submitted by Distributor and accept
or reject the Pie-Sales Registration at its sole discretion within five business
days of submission. Without limiting the foregoing Company will accept Pre-Sales
Registrations only if Company is not currently active with the sales opportunity
identified on the Pre-Sales Registration. Rejected Pre-Sales Registrations
expire upon rejection and accepted Pre-Sales Registrations expire 90 days after
acceptance by Company.

          (b)  Product Ordering. Company is responsible for delivering any
license authorizations necessary for End User customers to use the Products and
shall quote, receive purchase orders, invoice and collect payments from End User
customers directly.

          (c)  Maintenance Renewal. Company shall be responsible for generating
quotes, receiving purchase orders, invoking and collecting all Maintenance
Renewals from End User customers.

3. Compensation.

          (a)  Commission. Distributor's sole compensation under the terms of
this Agreement will be a commission as set forth in this Section 3.

          (b)  Basis of Commission. Company shall pay commissions to Distributor
based on Qualified Billings only. For purposes of this Agreement, "Qualified
Billings" means billings by Company to End User customers, net of taxes,
governmental levies or fees, and shipping and handling charges, based on
Products sold pursuant to an accepted Pre-Sales Registration and for which the
End User requests delivery by Company within 90 days after Company has accepted
such Pre-Sales Registration No payments will be due to Distributor on any
amounts billed by Company to customers subsequent to 90 days after acceptance of
pre-Sales Registration or for any maintenance renewal fees or other professional
services, even if Company rendered such services in connection with the sale of
the Products. If any products are returned by an End User customer, any credit
given such End User customer shall reduce the Qualified Billings used in future
commission calculations.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (c)  Expired Pre-Sales Registrations. In the event an accepted Pre-
Sales Registration does not result in a Qualified Billing by the Company within
90 days of Company's acceptance of that Pre-Sales Registration, Distributor may
update the information and re-submit the Pre-Sales Registration. However, any
re-submissions will be subject to acceptance by the Company, under Section 2(a),
based on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of re-submission.
Prior approval of a previous Pre-Sales Registration for an End User customer
will not obligate the Company to approve any re-submission by the Distributor.

     (d)  Amount of Commission. Company shall pay to Distributor a commission of
[***]% of Qualified Billings collected by Company, except in connection with
Special Programs as discussed in Section 6(c), on which the commission rate on
Qualified Billings resulting directly from such Special Programs will be the
rate agreed to by the parties in writing for that Special Program. Payments due
to Distributor will be made 30 days after each of Company's fiscal quarter end,
based on Qualified Billings collected during the most recent fiscal quarter.
Additionally, Company shall pay [***] dollars ($ [***])per Synplify license
included in each Qualified Billing directly to Distributor's Technical Sales
Engineer responsible for such Qualified Billing. Distributor will also match
such [***] dollar payment to the Technical Sales Engineer.

retained by, embodied in or in any way used or accessed by the upgraded Software
provided with this Agreement. If Licensee does not agree to the terms of this
Agreement, then click on the button marked "No" to terminate the download or
install process, and (if you have a copy) return the Software and any
accompanying items to the place from which you obtained them.

License. Synplicity grants to Licensee, a nonexclusive right to use the SOFTWARE
on one computer system or on a networked computer system, using only the number
of nodes for which Licensee has a license and for which Licensee has the
security key(s) or authorization code(s) provided by Synplicity or its agents.
All SOFTWARE must be used within the country for which the systems were licensed

SOFTWARE in whole or in pan is expressly forbidden. Subject to these
restrictions, Licensee may (i) load the SOFTWARE onto one computer to support
authorized use and (ii) make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup
purposes, provided Licensee includes all copyright and trademark notices on the

Ownership of the SOFTWARE. Synplicity retains all right, title, and interest in
the SOFTWARE and documentation (and any copy thereof), and reserves all rights

Software.

Transfer Restrictions. Licensee shall not sublicense, transfer or assign this

in the case of a merger or sale of all or substantially all of Licensee's
assets.

Ownership of Design Techniques. "Design" means the representation of an
electronic circuit or device(s), derived or created by Licensee through the use
of the SOFTWARE in its various formats, including, but not limited to,
equations, troth tables, schematic diagrams, textual descriptions, hardware
description languages, and netlists. "Design Techniques" means the Synplicity-
supplied date, circuit and logic elements, libraries, algorithms, search
strategies, rule bases, and technical information incorporated in the SOFTWARE
and employed in the process of creating Designs. Synplicity retains all right,
title and interest in and to Design Techniques incorporated into the SOFTWARE,
including all intellectual property rights embodied therein. Licensee
acknowledges that Synplicity is in the business of licensing SOFTWARE which
incorporates Design Techniques. Licensee agrees that in the event Licensee
voluntarily discloses any design techniques to Synplicity without designating
such as Licensee's Confidential Information, Synplicity shall have the
unrestricted, royalty-free right to incorporate such design techniques into its
software, documentation and other products, and to sublicense third parties to
use such incorporated design techniques.

Protection of Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means (i) the
SOFTWARE, in object and source code form, and any related technology, idea,
algorithm or information contained therein, including without limitation Design
Techniques, and any trade secrets related to any of the foregoing; (ii) either
party's product plans, Designs, costs, prices and names; non-published financial
information; marketing plans; business opportunities; personnel; research;
development or know-how; (iii) any information' designated by the disclosing
party as confidential in writing or, if disclosed orally, designated as
confidential at the time of disclosure and reduced to writing and designated as
confidential in writing within thirty (30) days; and (iv) the terms and
conditions of this Agreement; provided, however that "Confidential Information"
will not include information that: (a) is or becomes generally known or
available by publication, commercial use or otherwise through no fault of the
receiving party;, (b) is known and has been reduced to tangible form by the
receiving party at the time of disclosure and is not subject to restriction; (c)
is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing
party's Confidential Information; (d) is lawfully obtained from a third party
who has the right to make such disclosure; and (e) is released for publication
by the disclosing party in writing.

Each party will protect the other's Confidential Information from unauthorized
dissemination and use with the same degree of care that each such party uses to
protect its own like information. Neither party will use the other's
Confidential Information for purposes other

                                       9
<PAGE>

than those necessary to directly further the purposes of this Agreement. Neither
party will disclose to third parties the other's Confidential Information
without the prior written consent of the other party.

Termination. Synplicity may terminate this Agreement in the event of breach or
default by Licensee. Upon termination Licensee will relinquish all rights under
this Agreement, and must cease using the SOFTWARE and return or destroy all
copies (and partial copies) of the SOFTWARE and documentation.

Export. Licensee agrees not to allow the Synplicity SOFTWARE to be sent or used
in any country except in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

Limited Warranty and Disclaimer. Synplicity warrants (i) that the SOFTWARE will
perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying documentation for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt, and (ii) that the SOFTWARE
will be able to accurately process date data (including. but not limited to,
calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into and between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, provided that it is used in accordance with the product
documentation provided by Synplicity, that all associated products (such as
hardware, software, firmware and the like) used in combination with the SOFTWARE
properly exchange date data with it, and that Licensee is covered under a
services or maintenance agreement with Synplicity regarding the SOFTWARE.
Synplicity's entire liability and Licensee's exclusive remedy for a breach of
the preceding limited warranties shall be, at Synplicity's option, either (a)
return of the license fee, or (b) providing a fix, patch, work-around, or
replacement of the SOFTWARE that does not meet such limited warranty. In either
case, Licensee must return the SOFTWARE to Synplicity with a copy of the
purchase receipt or similar document. Any replacement will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or 30 days, whichever is longer. Some
states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied
warranty, so the above limitation may not apply. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
ABOVE, NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE BY
SYNPLICITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION
(STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), AND SYNPLICITY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SYNPLICITY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN
THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE,
OR THAT ALL DEFECTS IN THE PROGRAM WILL BE CORRECTED. Licensee assumes the
entire risk as to the results and performance of the SOFTWARE. Some
states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the
above exclusion may not apply.

Limitation of Liability. LICENSEE AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL SYNPLICITY OR
ITS AGENTS BE LIABLE-FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS
PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER
PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THESE SYNPLICITY
PRODUCTS, EVEN IF SYNPLICITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. In no event will Synplicity be liable to Licensee for damages in an
amount greater than the fees paid for the use of the SOFTWARE. Some
states/jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply.

Intellectual Property Right Infringement. In the event that a claim alleging
infringement of an intellectual property right arises concerning the SOFTWARE
(including but not limited to patent, trade secret, copyright or trademark
rights), Synplicity in its sole discretion may elect to defend or settle such
claim. Synplicity in the event of such a claim may also in its sole discretion
elect to terminate this Agreement and all rights to use the SOFTWARE, and
require the return or destruction of the SOFTWARE, with a refund of the fees
paid for use of the SOFTWARE less a reasonable allowance for use and shipping.

Miscellaneous. If Licensee is a corporation, partnership or similar entity, then
the license to the Software that is granted under this Agreement is expressly
conditioned upon acceptance by a person who is authorized to sign for and bind
the entity. This Agreement is the entire agreement between Licensee and
Synplicity with respect to the license to the SOFTWARE, and supersede any
previous oral or written communications, or documents (including. if you are
obtaining an update, any agreement that may have been included with the initial
version of the Software). This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
California, USA. This Agreement will not be governed by the U.N. Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If any provision of this
Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the
extent permissible and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect Failure to prosecute a party's rights with respect to a default
hereunder will not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce rights with
respect to the same or any other breach.

Government Users. Use, reproduction, release, modification, or disclosure of
this commercial computer software, or of any related documentation of any kind,
is restricted in accordance with FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202, and further
restricted by this License Agreement Synplicity, Inc., 610 Caribbean Drive,
