(Executive Officers)



THIS RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made as of
, 20 by and
between Magma Design Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and  (Purchaser) pursuant to the
Companys 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.



1.Sale of Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company,  Shares at a
purchase price of $ per Share for a total purchase price of $. The per Share
purchase price of the Shares shall be not less than the par value of the Shares as of the date of the offer of such Shares to the Purchaser. The term Shares refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or
in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other
properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchasers ownership of the Shares.



2.Time and Place of Exercise. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company
simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties, or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the Purchase Date). On the Purchase Date, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a certificate
representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchasers name) against payment of the purchase price therefor by Purchaser by (a) check made payable to the Company, (b) cancellation of indebtedness of
the Company to Purchaser, or (c) a combination of the foregoing.



3.Restrictions on Resale. By signing this Agreement, Purchaser agrees not to sell any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading
policies prohibit exercise or sale.



4.Restrictive
Legends and Stop Transfer Orders.



4.1Legends. The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):



THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS Of AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.



4.2Stop-Transfer Notices. Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may
issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.



4.3Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required
(i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or
other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.



---

5. [IF SHARES ARE SUBJECT
TO THE COMPANYS LAPSING RIGHT OF REPURCHASE:]



[5.1 Repurchase Right on Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a Repurchase Event shall mean an
occurrence of one of: (a) termination of Purchasers service to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and with or without cause or (b) resignation or retirement of Purchaser as an employee of the Company or death of Purchaser.
Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, the Company shall have the right (but not an obligation) to repurchase the Shares at a price per Share equal to the price per Share paid by Purchaser (the Repurchase Right). The Repurchase Right
shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Restricted Share Award that is attached to this Agreement.



5.2 Exercise of Repurchase Right. The Company may notify Purchaser at any time within 90 days after the date of the Repurchase Event that it is
exercising its Repurchase Right with respect to some or all of the Shares, or that it is not exercising its Repurchase Right. If the Company does not so notify Purchaser within 90 days after the date of the Repurchase Event, the Repurchase Right
shall be deemed automatically exercised by the Company as of the 90th day following such date. By executing this Agreement Purchaser agrees that it has received written notice of the Companys intention to exercise its Repurchase Right with
respect to all Shares to which such Repurchase Right applies. The Company, at its choice, may satisfy its payment obligation to Purchaser with respect to exercise of the Repurchase Right by (i) delivering a check to Purchaser in the amount of
the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (ii) in the event Purchaser is indebted to the Company, by canceling an amount of such indebtedness equal to the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (iii) by a
combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such purchase price. In the event of any deemed automatic exercise of the Repurchase Right, any such cancellation of indebtedness shall be
deemed automatically to occur as of the 90th day following the date of the Repurchase Event unless the Company otherwise satisfies its payment obligations. As a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right, the Company shall
become the legal and beneficial owner of the repurchased Shares and shall have all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the
Company, without further action by Purchaser.]



6. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, to terminate Purchasers employment, for any reason, with or without cause.



7.Market Standoff Agreement. Upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten public offering of the
Companys securities, Purchaser agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the
Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute such agreement reflecting
the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the underwritten public offering.



8.Miscellaneous.



8.1Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

Agreement is attached are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. This Agreement, the Plan and the Notice of Restricted Share Award to which this Agreement is attached constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating
to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior discussions between them. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the purchase of the Restricted Shares hereunder are superseded. No modification of or amendment to this
Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver
of any rights of such party.



---

8.3Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable
under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i)such provision shall be excluded from this
Agreement, (ii) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.



8.4Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations
between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against
any one of the parties hereto.



8.5Notices. Any
notice to be given under the terms of the Plan shall be addressed to the Company in care or its principal office, and any notice to be given to the Purchaser shall be addressed to such Purchaser at the address maintained by the Company for such
person or at such other address as the Purchaser may specify in writing to the Company.



8.6Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall he deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.



8.7Successors and Assigns. The rights and benefits of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of., and be enforceable by, the Companys successors and assigns. The
rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.



9.Acceleration Upon Change in Control. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), 25% of the remaining unvested Shares shall
immediately vest. Further, in the event of your Involuntary Termination (as defined below) prior to the first anniversary of the Change of Control, 50% of the then remaining unvested Shares shall immediately vest, provided that such acceleration
would not result in the underlying options becoming subject to variable cost accounting or in any other adverse accounting effects. Involuntary Termination shall mean any termination without Cause (as defined below) as well as any
instance of Constructive Termination. Constructive Terminationshall be deemed to occur when
the only position available at the successor or surviving company entails (i) a relocation of more than 50 miles, (ii) a reduction in base pay, or (iii) a unilateral change by the successor or surviving company (or its parent) in your
duties to non-executive level duties; provided, however, that your duties shall not be deemed non-executive if they involve duties as to the Magma division or subsidiary of the successor or surviving company (or its parent) that are
comparable in scope to your duties at the Company immediately prior to the related Change of Control. For purposes of this section, Cause shall mean (i) continued failure to perform substantially your duties, which standard of
duties shall be referenced to the standards set by the Company at the date of this Agreement (other than as a result of sickness, accident or similar cause beyond your reasonable control) after receipt of a written warning and your being given
thirty (30) days to cure the failure; (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence, which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including without limitation willful or grossly negligent failure to perform your
material duties as an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a material breach of this Agreement, your employment agreement (if any) or your Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the Company;
(iii) conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony; or (iv) commission of an act of fraud against, or the misappropriation of property belonging to, the Company or any affiliated company, employee, customer or supplier of the
Company.
