 Under this Agreement
Customer can: (i) acquire licenses for a specific number of Licensed Materials and related Documentation on either a Subscription or 99-year License basis, and (ii) obtain Maintenance Services for the Licensed Materials pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement. For Software licensed on a Subscription basis, Customer shall be permitted to Use the Software on a wide area network (“WAN”) basis as described in the applicable Product Quotation. For any Software acquired
by Customer through an authorized Cadence reseller the following provisions of this Agreement shall not apply: 4, 6, 13.3(b) and 13.3(c). While Cadence shall remain the “licensor” for purposes of the grant of the licenses and other rights
hereunder, and Customer shall remain the “licensee” for purposes of the obligations contained herein, Customer shall contract directly with the reseller for the purchase of License Keys and any Maintenance Services on Software provided by
such authorized Cadence reseller. 
 3. LICENSE GRANT 
         (a) Grant: Subject to Customer’s timely payment of the Fees as set forth in Section 4 and subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 3(b) and 3(c), Cadence, either directly or by and through one of its affiliates, hereby grants Customer, for the Term of Use as specified in each Product Quotation, a non-transferable, non-exclusive, license to: (i) Use the
quantity of Licensed Materials identified in the applicable Product Quotation on the Designated Equipment as established by the number of License Keys issued for the Licensed Materials; and (ii) Use the Documentation as is reasonably necessary
for Customer’s licensed Use of the Licensed Materials. All



 
rights not expressly granted to Customer pursuant to this Agreement are reserved by Cadence. 
 (b) Limitations: All rights, title and interest in the Licensed Materials shall remain the exclusive property of Cadence and/or its licensors. The Licensed Materials are the confidential and
proprietary property of Cadence or third parties from whom Cadence has obtained the appropriate rights. Customer shall not Use or copy the Licensed Materials except as expressly permitted herein. Customer may only Use those Licensed Materials
specified in the applicable Product Quotation. Customer shall not modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse translate or create derivative works from the Licensed Materials or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, or let any third party do
so. No right or license is granted or implied under any of Cadence, or its licensors’, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks or other intellectual property rights to Use the Licensed Materials or to authorize others to Use
the Licensed Materials beyond the rights and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. By the way of example and not limitation, Customer shall neither use the Software or Design Elements or output of any Software or Design Elements for benchmarking
purposes (which means any form of competitive analysis of the Licensed Materials versus competitive tool products), nor permit any third party to do so. Customer shall not remove or alter any of Cadence’s or its licensors’ restrictive or
ownership legends appearing on or in the Licensed Materials and shall reproduce such legends on all copies permitted to be made. Customer may periodically Remix the Initial Configuration or the Then Current Configuration only if specified in the
Product Quotation and subject to the limitations set forth in the Product Quotation. Upon request by Cadence, Customer shall execute a Certificate of Discontinued Use upon the completion of each Remix for those Licensed Materials that are exchanged
or terminated in the Remix. 
 (c) Restrictions: Customer shall not let the Licensed Materials
be accessed or used by third parties or anyone other than Customer’s employees whose duties require such access or use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer’s authorized consultants and subcontractors (excluding any direct competitors
of Cadence) may Use the Licensed Materials on the Designated Equipment at a Customer facility only, where such Use is incidental to their performing services on Customer’s behalf. Such Use by authorized consultants and subcontractors must be
consistent with the license granted to Customer hereunder and Customer must first require such authorized consultants and subcontractors to sign written agreements obligating them to observe the same restrictions concerning the Licensed Materials as
are contained in this Agreement. In connection with activities under this Agreement, Customer may provide to Cadence suggestions, descriptions, data feedback and other information, either orally or in writing (collectively, “Feedback”)
concerning the Licensed Materials. Customer hereby grants to Cadence and its affiliates, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable,





  
 2 









 
royalty-free, worldwide right and license to make, use, sell, reproduce, modify, sublicense, disclose, distribute and otherwise exploit any such Feedback. In addition, Cadence shall be the sole
owner of any modifications, additions or other changes made to the Licensed Materials based upon such Feedback. The Licensed Materials may contain certain software applications and portions of applications which are provided to Customer under terms
and conditions which are different from this Agreement (such as open source or community source), or which require Cadence to provide Customer with certain notices and/or information (“Excluded Code”). Cadence will identify such Excluded
Code in a text file or about box or in a file or files referenced thereby (and shall include any associated license agreement, notices and other related information therein), or the Excluded Code will contain or be accompanied by its own license
agreement. Customer’s Use of the Excluded Code will be subject to the terms and conditions of such other license agreement solely to the extent such terms and conditions are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or are
required by such other license agreement. By using or not uninstalling such Excluded Code after the initial installation of the Excluded Code Customer acknowledges and agrees to all such license agreements, notices and information. 

(d) Records; Audit. Customer shall keep full, clear and accurate records to confirm its authorized Use of
the Licensed Materials hereunder, including but not limited to ensuring that Customer has not exceeded the number of authorized copies of Licensed Materials and other obligations hereunder. Cadence shall have the right to audit such records during
regular business hours to confirm Customer’s compliance with its obligations hereunder. Customer shall promptly correct any deficiencies discovered by such audit including payment to Cadence of the amount of any shortfall in Fees uncovered by
such audit plus interest at the rate set forth in Section 4(a) below. If the audit uncovers any shortfall in payment of more than five percent (5%) for any quarter, then Customer shall also promptly pay to Cadence the costs and expenses of
such audit, including fees of auditors and other professionals incurred by Cadence in connection with such audit. 
 4. FEES; TAXES

 (a) Fees and Payment: Customer shall pay Cadence the license fees
(“License Fees”) and maintenance service fees (“Maintenance Service Fees”) (collectively, the “Fees”). Such Fees shall be remitted so that they are received by Cadence by the dates and in the
amounts set forth in the Product Quotation and, except as expressly provided herein, are non-refundable. In addition, Customer’s obligation to remit License Fee payments to Cadence in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the
Product Quotation shall be absolute, unconditional, noncancelleable and nonrefundable, and shall not be subject to any abatement, set-off, claim, counterclaim, adjustment, reduction, or defense for any reason, including, but not limited to, any
claims that Cadence failed to perform under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement. Past due amounts shall be subject to a monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month of the unpaid



 
balance or the maximum rate allowable by law. In addition to all other sums payable hereunder, Customer shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Cadence, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, in connection with collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom or in connection therewith. 
 (b) Taxes: All Fees are net. Customer will pay or reimburse all taxes, duties and assessments, if any due, based on or measured by amounts payable to Cadence in any transaction between
Customer and Cadence under this Agreement (excluding taxes based on Cadence’s net income) together with any interest or penalties assessed thereon, or furnish Cadence with evidence acceptable to the taxing authority to sustain an exemption

 Terms and Conditions 

For Floating Pool 

eDAcard License Model 
 Customer and Cadence entered into a Fixed Term License Agreement (Agreement No. FTLA-00TCOM1218) on or about December 18, 2000 (“FTLA”) Customer and Cadence have also entered into
the following Product Quotations: Product Quotation Attachment G effective August 31, 2005 (“Attachment G”), Product Quotation Attachment H effective September 26, 2006
(“Attachment H”), and Product Quotation Attachment J effective September 30, 2006 (“Attachment J”). The parties are entering into a new Software License and Maintenance Agreement (Agreement
No. SLMA-07INPH0629) of even date herewith (“Agreement”), which will supersede the FTLA. Upon the Effective date of this Product Quotation Attachment (“Attachment”), the FLTA and Attachments G, H, J and all
rights, duties and obligations thereunder (except those provisions that survive termination on their own terms, if any, will automatically terminate). Customer understands and agrees that its right to Use any Licensed Programs (as defined in the
FLTA) licensed under Attachments G, & J shall immediately terminate upon the effective date of this Attachment, except that Customer shall have a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to transition from the
license keys issued under Product Quotation Attachments G, & J to the license key issued under this Attachment. Customer understands and agrees that upon execution of this Attachment, the rights and obligations of the parties under
Attachment H shall immediately terminate except for; (i) License Keys for Licensed Programs which have not yet expired the Use of which shall continue to be governed by the FTLA, and (ii) those provisions that survive termination on
their own terms, if any. Customer understands and agrees that its right to select and Use any additional licensed Programs licensed under Attachment H is immediately terminated. Upon execution of this Attachment Customer shall make payment of
$*** to Cadence in connection with termination of Attachments G, H, and J. 
 This Product Quotation Attachment
(“Attachment”) contains the terms and conditions for Customer’s Use of Licensed Materials based upon Cadence’s eDAcard Platinum license model. This Attachment is a Product Quotation as defined in the Software License and
Maintenance Agreement (“Agreement”) between the parties hereto. 
  

	A.	 eDAcard LICENSING MODEL 


  

	1.	 Availability of Licensed Materials: Cadence’s eDAcard licensing model establishes a mechanism whereby Customer may access, select and
Use Licensed Materials through Cadence’s web site (“eDAcard Web Site”) during the eDAcard activation period. The activation period is defined as beginning on the Activation Period Effective Date and ending on the Activation
Period Expiry Date (“eDAcard Activation Period”) as set forth on page 1 of this Attachment. Use of the Licensed Materials will be pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Attachment. A list of the
available Licensed Materials can be viewed in the eDAcard Web Site. Licenses for the Licensed Materials, which includes Maintenance Services, can be selected for a pre-determined duration (i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or any combination
thereof) (“Term of Use”). In no event, however, shall the Term of Use for any Licensed Materials licensed during the eDAcard Activation Period extend beyond the Attachment Expiry Date. 



 

	2.	 Licensed Materials: Under this Attachment Customer shall only use Licensed Materials available through the eDAcard Web Site.



  

	3.	 Accessibility of Licensed Materials: Within the later of five (5) days after: (i) the Activation Period Effective Date or
(ii) execution of this Attachment by Cadence, Cadence shall forward Customer an eDAcard number (“eDAcard number”) to those Customer employees who will be allowed to access the eDAcard Web Site (“Authorized
Users”). Upon account activation, the Authorized Users will be issued individual login names and passwords (“Authorized User ID”) to be used in conjunction with the eDAcard Number. The Authorized User ID will allow the
Authorized Users access to the Licensed Materials on the eDAcard Web Site. Following 



  
 2 








  
 the
authorized Users selection of Licensed Materials over the eDAcard Web Site, the applicable Fees will be deducted from the eDAcard Balance set forth on page 1 of this Attachment. Customer shall be provided with instructions on how to obtain an
authorization key for the Licensed Materials. The ability of the Authorized Users to access the eDAcard Web Site for the purpose of selecting additional Licensed Materials shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) the depletion of the eDAcard
Balance; (ii) the Activation Period Expiry Date set forth on page 1 of this Attachment; (iii) termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 5 thereof. 

 

	4.	 eDAcard Balance: The Fee structure for Use of the Licensed Materials implementing the eDAcard licensing model are set forth on the Cadence
eDAcard Datasheet available on the eDAcard Web Site. The Fees are based upon the one year time-based license (“TBL”) reference price. The Licensed Material price is then adjusted per the eDAcard rate table set forth in the eDAcard
Datasheet based upon; (1) the type of Licensed Material licensed, and (2) the Term of Use. Finally, the applicable Customer discount is applied to arrive at the final Fee for the applicable Licensed Materials. The dollar value as set forth
in the eDAcard Balance on page 1 of this Attachment represents the amount the Customer has allocated for selecting and Using Licensed Materials accessing the eDAcard Web Site. Upon selection of both the Licensed Materials and the Term of Use,
the Fee shall be automatically calculated and debited from the remaining eDAcard Balance. Customer may continue to access the eDAcard Web Site for the purpose of selecting additional Licensed Materials until the eDAcard Balance is depleted. Customer
shall forfeit any remaining portion of the eDAcard Balance not utilized during the eDAcard Activation Period. The one year reference (TBL) price for Licensed Materials and/or the eDAcard rate table may be modified at any time by Cadence.



  

	5.	 General Terms: Customer is solely responsible for: (i) managing its Authorized User; and (ii) maintaining the security of all
passwords, user IDs and access keys made available by Cadence. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any person who enters an Authorized User ID will be presumed by Cadence to be an Authorized User and have the power and authority to bind Customer
to the terms of this Attachment and the Agreement. Cadence will not be under any obligation to verify the identity of any such person. Customer agreed that an order placed through the eDAcard Web Site is the equivalent of a signed Customer purchase
order. Customer shall have the right to change, add, or delete Authorized Users upon prior written notice to Cadence. In no event are any licenses issued hereunder cancelable nor are any Fees payable hereunder refundable. Customer hereby waives any
future challenge to the validity and enforceability of any order submitted via the eDAcard licensing model on the grounds that it was electronically transmitted and authorized. Customer is responsible for all costs and charges, including without
limitation, phone charges and telecommunications equipment, incurred in order to use the eDAcard licensing model. 


  

	B.	 MAINTENANCE SERVICES 


 Maintenance Services are provided by Cadence during the Term of Use. 
  

	C.	 PAYMENT SCHEDULE 


 Customer shall remit payment for the Fees as set forth on the page 1 of this Attachment. Cadence shall provide an invoice approximately thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled payment date.
Customer shall make payment to Cadence on or before the payment due date identified on page 1 of this Attachment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the eDAcard Balance is depleted and the Term of Use for all Licensed Materials
ends prior to the Activation Period Expiry Date, any remaining payments shall become due and payable immediately upon the expiration of the Term of Use for all Licensed Materials. Customer understands and agrees that the obligation to make payments
hereunder is not contingent upon a purchase order being issued by Customer. If required by Cadence, the obligation to pay the Fees shall be additionally evidenced by an Installment Payment Agreement (“IPA”) executed by Customer.

  

	D.	 ELECTRONIC TRANSFER 



  
 3 








 Upon execution of the Electronic Transmission Agreement, all products under
this Agreement will be shipped via electronic transfer per the terms and conditions of such Electronic transmission Agreement. 
  

	E.	 WIDE AREA NETWORK 


 Subject to Section 13.2 (“Export”) of the Agreement between the parties hereto and payment of any applicable Fees, Customer is granted the right to allow its employees to remotely access
the Licensed Materials through a wide area network (“WAN”). The Licensed Materials must be located on Designated Equipment within the same time zone (or Region(s) if Regional WAN rights are acquired) as such employees are located and must
only be accessed by employees within such time zone or Region(s). Customer may select the following options for WAN rights at the time of acquiring the Licensed Materials under this Attachment: (1) “None (no WAN rights permitted),
(2) “Local (WAN rights only permitted within the same time zone as the Designated Equipment, (3) “Region” (WAN rights only permitted within the specific Region selected), and (4) “Multi-Region” (WAN rights
permitted in more than one Region as selected by Customer. Customer’s WAN selection is specified on page 1 of this Attachment. The Regions for such WAN rights are: (i) the Americas, (2) Europe and Middle East, (3) India, and
(4) Asia and Australia (excluding Japan). 
 The parties hereby agree to the foregoing terms and conditions.
