                             STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

        This Stock Pledge Agreement (the "PLEDGE AGREEMENT") is made and entered
into as of March 1, 2000 between Virage Logic Corporation, a California
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Alexander Shubat (the "PLEDGOR"). Capitalized
terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Secured Full Recourse Promissory Note of even date herewith delivered by
Pledgor to the Company (the "NOTE").

                                    RECITALS

        A. In exchange for delivery of the Note to the Company, the Company has
issued and sold to Pledgor [        ] shares of its Common Stock (the "SHARES")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Purchase Agreement.

        B. Pledgor has agreed that repayment of the Note will be secured by the
pledge of the Shares pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

               1. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Pursuant to the provisions of
the California Commercial Code, Pledgor hereby grants to the Company, and the
Company hereby accepts, a first and present security interest in (i) the Shares,
(ii) all Dividends (as defined in Section 5 hereof), and (iii) all Additional
Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), to secure payment of the Note and
performance of all Pledgor's obligations under this Pledge Agreement. Pledgor
herewith delivers to the Company Common Stock certificate(s) No(s).
_____________, representing all the Shares, together with one or more stock
power(s) for each certificate so delivered in the form attached as an Exhibit to
the Purchase Agreement, duly executed (with the date and number of shares left
blank) by Pledgor and Pledgor's spouse, if any. For purposes of this Pledge
Agreement, the Shares, all Dividends, and all Additional Securities will
hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "COLLATERAL." Pledgor agrees that
the Collateral will be deposited with and held by the Escrow Holder (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of carrying out the provisions of this
Pledge Agreement, Escrow Holder will act solely for the Company as its agent.

               2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS REGARDING
COLLATERAL. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Pledgor
has good title (both record and beneficial) to the Collateral, free and clear of
all claims, pledges, security interests, liens or encumbrances of every nature
whatsoever, and that Pledgor has the right to pledge and grant the

<PAGE>   2
Company the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Pledge
Agreement. Pledgor further agrees that, until all sums due under the Note have
been paid in full, and all of Purchaser's obligations under this Pledge
Agreement have been performed, Purchaser will not, without the Company's prior
written consent, (i) sell, assign or transfer, or attempt to sell, assign or
transfer, any of the Collateral, or (ii) grant or create, or attempt to grant or
create, any security interest, lien, pledge, claim or other encumbrance with
respect to any of the Collateral or (iii) suffer or permit to continue upon any
of the Collateral during the term of this Pledge Agreement, an attachment, levy,
execution or statutory lien.

               3. RIGHTS ON DEFAULT. Upon an occurrence of an Event of Default
under the Note, the Company will have full power to sell, assign and deliver or
otherwise dispose the whole or any part of the Collateral at any broker's
exchange or elsewhere, at public or private sale, at the option of the Company,
in order to satisfy any part of the obligations of Pledgor now existing or
hereinafter arising under the Note or under this Pledge Agreement. On any such
sale, the Company or its assigns may purchase all or any part of the Collateral.
In addition, at its sole option, the Company may elect to retain all the
Collateral in full satisfaction of Pledgor's obligation under the Note, in
accordance with the provisions and procedures set forth in the California
Uniform Commercial Code. Pledgor agrees at the Company's request, to cooperate
with the Company in connection with the disposition of any and all of the
Collateral and to execute and deliver any documents which the Company shall
reasonably request to permit disposition of the Collateral.

               4. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES. The rights and remedies granted to the
Company herein upon an Event of Default will be in addition to all the rights,
powers and remedies of the Company under the California Uniform Commercial Code
and applicable law and such rights, powers and remedies will be exercisable by
the Company with respect to all of the Collateral. Pledgor agrees that the
Company's reasonable expenses of holding the Collateral, preparing it for resale
or other disposition, and selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral,
including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, will be deducted from the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition and will be included in the amounts
Pledgor must tender to redeem the Collateral. All rights, powers and remedies of
the Company will be cumulative and not alternative. Any forbearance or failure
or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder will
not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy and any single
or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder will not
preclude the further exercise thereof.

               5. DIVIDENDS; VOTING. All dividends hereinafter declared on or
payable with respect to any Collateral during the term of this Pledge Agreement
(excluding only ordinary cash dividends, which will be payable to Pledgor so
long as no Event of Default has occurred under the Note) (the "DIVIDENDS") will
be immediately delivered to the Company to be held in pledge under this Pledge
Agreement. Notwithstanding this Pledge Agreement, so long as Pledgor owns the
Shares and no Event of Default has occurred under the Note, Pledgor will be
entitled to vote any shares comprising the Collateral, subject to any proxies
granted by Pledgor.

               6. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event that during the term of this Pledge
Agreement, any stock dividend, reclassification, readjustment, stock split or
other change is declared or made with respect to the Collateral, or if warrants
or any other rights, options or securities are issued in respect of the
Collateral, (the "ADDITIONAL SECURITIES") then all new, substituted and/or
additional

<PAGE>   3
shares or other securities issued by reason of such change or by reason of the
exercise of such warrants, rights, options or securities, will be (if delivered
to Pledgor, immediately surrendered to the Company and) pledged to the Company
to be held under the terms of this Pledge Agreement as and in the same manner as
the Collateral is held hereunder.

               7. RIGHTS UNDER PURCHASE AGREEMENT; SETOFF. Pledgor understands
and agrees that the Company's rights to repurchase the Collateral under the
Purchase Agreement, if any, will continue for the periods and on the terms and
conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement, whether or not the Note has been
paid in full during such period of time, and that to the extent that the Note is
not paid in full during such period of time, the repurchase by the Company of
the Collateral may be made by way of cancellation of all or any part of
Pledgor's indebtedness under the Note.

               8. REDELIVERY OF COLLATERAL; NO RELEASE FOR PARTIAL PAYMENT.

                      (a) Until all obligations of Pledgor under the Note and
under this Pledge Agreement have been satisfied in full, all Collateral will
continue to be held in pledge under this Pledge Agreement. If Pledgor prepays
all or a portion of the principal amount of the Note, the portion of the Shares
for which such pre-payment would represent the purchase price under the Purchase
Agreement (the "PAID SHARES") will be treated as independent collateral for the
remaining balance of the Note for the purpose of commencing the holding period
under Rule 144(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to
other Shares purchased with the Note.

                      (b) Upon performance of all Pledgor's obligations under
the Note and this Pledge Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Purchase Agreement, the Company will immediately redeliver the Collateral to
Pledgor and this Pledge Agreement will terminate; provided, however, that all
rights of the Company to retain possession of the Shares pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement will survive termination of this Pledge Agreement.

               9. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Pledgor shall, at the Company's request,
execute and deliver such further documents and take such further actions as the
Company shall reasonably request to perfect and maintain the Company's security
interest in the Collateral, or in any part thereof

               10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Pledge Agreement will inure to
the benefit of the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.

               11. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Pledge Agreement will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
California, excluding that body of law relating to conflicts of law. Should one
or more of the provisions of this Pledge Agreement be determined by a court of
law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions nevertheless will
remain effective and will be enforceable.

               12. MODIFICATION; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Pledge Agreement will
not be amended without the written consent of both parties hereto. This Pledge
Agreement, together with the Note constitute the entire agreement of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject

<PAGE>   4
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to
such subject matter.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Pledge
Agreement as of the date and year first above written.

                            ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

        THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the 1st
day of December, 1999, by and between Virage Logic Corporation, a California
corporation ("Buyer"), and Mentor Graphics Corporation, an Oregon corporation
("MGC").

        THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Purchase and Sale of Assets.

        1.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and for the consideration herein stated, at the Closing (as defined
below), MGC agrees to sell, license, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to
Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase and accept from MGC, the following assets
(the "Assets") related to the business currently conducted by the Physical
Libraries Division of MGC (the "Business"):

           (a) All of the furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by MGC and
currently assigned to the Business as listed on SCHEDULE 1.1(a), provided that
items listed on SCHEDULE 1.1(a) that are not actually located at the Business
office at 15 Independence Blvd, Warren, New Jersey 07059 (the "Business
Premises") are not included in the Assets;

           (b) A non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license,
subject to the payment terms set forth in Section 1.3, to use the source code
version of the files listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b), which are contained in the MGC
products also listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b), for the purpose of making, licensing
and distributing, through Buyer's sales channel, distributors and third party
OEM agreements, Buyer's own physical libraries and only such Buyer products
specifically required for the use of such physical libraries (the "License").
The License excludes any MGC software that is subject to license under Section
1.1(c) or is not listed by file name in SCHEDULE 1.1(b). Subject to MGC's
election, within 30 days after written notice of a specific or potential action,
not to defend or prosecute the intellectual property rights granted in this
Section, MGC agrees that Buyer shall have the right, authority and power, with
respect to the code licensed as it exists on the date of Closing, to assert and
enforce such rights worldwide, including the right to bring any and all suits
and proceedings under or involving such rights. MGC also grants Buyer the
nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right to use the intellectual
property of MGC, including copyrights, copyright applications, rights of
reproduction, patent applications, rights of priority, patents, trademarks and
trade secrets, associated with the files listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b) and necessary
for the productization of these files as intended by the License. In particular,
MGC grants Buyer the nonexclusive, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce the
trademarks listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b) as necessary for the sole purpose of
allowing Buyer to fully promote and market the products resulting from use of
the licensed files (the "Companion IP

<PAGE>   2
License"). The License, the Companion IP License and the MGC software license
described in Section 1.1 (c) are nevertheless revocable if the Buyer defaults on
the payment terms set forth in Section 1.3. The License and the Companion IP
License are non-transferable, subject to the condition that, in the event of an
acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or a change in control of
ownership of Buyer, Buyer shall request the written consent of MGC to a transfer
of the License and the Companion IP License to Buyer's successor in interest and
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer acknowledges that MGC and
its licensors, without limitation, retain all title to and ownership of the
source code, as well as any intellectual property rights underlying or
associated with the files and MGC products listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b), including,
without limitation, all copyrights, copyright applications, rights of
reproduction, patent applications, rights of priority, patents, trademarks and
trade secrets. Buyer further acknowledges that, subject to the conditions of
Section 6.6, MGC and its licensors may continue to use, including developing and
incorporating as part of technology contained in products that do not compete
with products similar to those listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b), or license to third
parties, including customers of services provided by MGC, the same source code,
and intellectual property rights underlying or associated with the files and MGC
products listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b), for any purpose;

           (c) A nonexclusive, nontransferable, perpetual, royalty-free license
as provided in EXHIBIT A-1, subject to the payment terms set forth in Section
1.3, to use and copy the object code version of the MGC software listed in
SCHEDULE 1.1(c) in making, selling and distributing Buyer's own physical
libraries;

           (d) A nonexclusive, nontransferable, perpetual, temporary,
royalty-free license as provided in EXHIBIT A-2, subject to the payment terms
set forth in Section 1.3, to use and copy the object code version of the MGC
software listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(d) in performing Buyer's obligations under
Sections 1.3 and 6 and to support Buyer's customers;

           (e) A list of all customers in the current installed base of the
products will be provided within 30 days after Closing, provided that Buyer does
not solicit support services for the MGC products listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b) from
MGC support customers currently under support agreements for those MGC products
until 60 days prior to the expiration of those support agreements, provided that
nothing shall prohibit Buyer from providing support services if requested by any
such customer; and

           (f) Subject to Section 6.2, any software licensed by MGC from a third
party and used in the Business, provided such software is listed on SCHEDULE
1.1(f) and the license is determined by MGC to be transferable to Buyer without
further obligation or payment of any additional fees by MGC.

        1.2 Excluded Assets. The Assets shall not include any assets that are
not specifically described in Section 1.1. Such excluded assets shall include,
but not be

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
limited to, any leased equipment, any accounts receivable and any rights under
existing purchase orders or other customer contracts. Buyer acknowledges that
workstations used by employees of the Business are leased by MGC under
nontransferable leases, and that such workstations will be returned to the
lessors following the Closing.

        1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price payable by Buyer for the Assets
shall be the following:

delivery of such software products to be completed on or before June 30, 2001;

            (b) 150,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of Buyer delivered to

the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C Financing"), which Buyer
anticipates will be sold in such financing for $1.90 per share, which shares
shall be in the form delivered to other investors not affiliated with Buyer in
connection with such closing. In connection with the Series C Financing, MGC
shall receive all of the contractual rights received by the other investors in
the Series C Financing on an equal basis with such investors, subject to MGC's
execution of the documents signed by such investors. If the Series C Financing
does not occur by December 31, 1999, Buyer shall issue to MGC as of December 31,
1999, 150,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Buyer and shall grant to MGC

        2.4 Compliance with Other Instruments. Buyer is not in violation or
default of any provisions of its Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or
of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a
party or by which it is bound or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal
or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to Buyer. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the

conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of
notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order,
writ, decree or contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any assets of Buyer.

<PAGE>   6

        3.3 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or currently threatened against MGC which questions the validity of this
Agreement or the right of MGC to enter into it, or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.

        3.4 Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions

provisions of its Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or of any

by which it is bound or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state
statute, rule or regulation applicable to MGC, or be in conflict with or
constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a
default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or
contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any assets of MGC.

        3.5 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Series C or Series B
Preferred Stock to be received by MGC and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired
for investment for MGC's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and MGC has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same.

        3.6 Accredited Investor. MGC is an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

        3.7 Restricted Securities. MGC understands that the Securities it is
purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Buyer in a transaction
not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such securities may be resold without registration only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection, MGC represents that it is familiar
with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act as presently in effect and understands
the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

        3.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificate(s) evidencing the
Securities may bear one or more legends which are placed on certificates for the
same class of securities which are issued to the other holders thereof relating
to the sale, pledge, transfer or hypothecation thereof, with respect to the
Securities Act of 1933, Blue Sky laws, Buyer's Restated Articles of
Incorporation or other laws, regulations or instruments applicable thereto.

        3.9 No Defaults. To the best of MGC's knowledge, no default exists on
the part of MGC under any agreement with its customers related to the provision
of products or services of the Business, no other person has alleged in writing
that MGC is in default

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

or has committed an anticipatory breach under any such agreement and there is no
default on the part of any other party under any such agreement.

        3.10 No Obligation. MGC is under no legally binding obligation to sell
the Business to Artisan Components, Inc.

4. Conditions of MGC's Obligations at Closing. The obligations of MGC under
subsection 1.1 of this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment on or before the
Closing of each of the following conditions:

        4.1 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties
of Buyer contained in Section 2 shall be true on and as of the Closing with the
same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and
as of the date of such Closing.

agreements, obligations and conditions contained in this Agreement that are
required to be performed or complied with by it on or before the Closing.

at the Closing a certificate dated as of the Closing certifying that, to the
best of his knowledge and belief, the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and
4.2 have been fulfilled.

        4.4 Proceedings and Documents. All corporate and other proceedings in
connection with the transactions contemplated at the Closing and all documents
incident thereto shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to MGC,
and MGC shall have received all such counterpart original and certified or other
copies of such documents as it may reasonably request.

5. Conditions of Buyer's Obligations at Closing. The obligations of Buyer to MGC
under this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment on or before the Closing of
each of the following conditions:

        5.1 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties
of MGC contained in Section 3 shall be true on and as of the Closing with the
same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and
as of the Closing.

        5.2 Performance. MGC shall have performed and complied with all
agreements, obligations and conditions contained in this Agreement that are
required to be performed or complied with by it on or before the Closing.

        5.3 Proceedings and Documents. All corporate and other proceedings in
connection with the transactions contemplated at the Closing and all documents
incident thereto shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
Buyer, and Buyer shall

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
have received all such counterpart original and certified or other copies of
such documents as it may reasonably request.

6. Covenants.

        6.1 News Releases. Neither party will issue any news release or other
public announcement describing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including the Exhibits) except with the prior approval of an authorized
representative of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, and except that MGC may make any announcement MGC reasonably believes
to be necessary to comply with its disclosure obligations as a public company.

        6.2 Transfer of Third-Party Software. Any third-party software listed in
SCHEDULE 1.1(f) that is off-the-shelf software covered by a shrink-wrap license
agreement shall be transferred to Buyer in accordance with the license terms.
With respect to any other third-party software listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(f), MGC
shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in arranging for Buyer's rights to use any
such software, but Buyer shall be primarily responsible for any negotiations or
discussions with representatives of the software vendors; provided, however,
that MGC shall not be obligated to take any action that would adversely affect
MGC's rights under any license of software that it continues to use, and any
incremental cost associated with Buyer's use of the software shall be paid by
Buyer.

        6.3 Outstanding Customer Commitments. MGC agrees to remit to Buyer all
revenue and royalties received from its customers for services rendered by Buyer
pursuant to Buyer's agreement to perform all obligations of MGC, under all open
contracts for delivery of products or services and all outstanding support
contracts, related to the parts listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(b), provided that no
remittance shall be made for services related to all backlog for delivery of
products or services existing as of the Closing. Following the Closing, MGC will
issue one or more purchase orders to Buyer which will set forth the milestones
and due dates for each of the open contracts and the portion of the resulting
payments from MGC's customers to be paid to Buyer upon meeting such milestones.
Payment from MGC for each milestone will not be made until the MGC customer has
provided MGC with a signed letter of acceptance and promise to pay for services
provided by Buyer. Buyer will make every effort to meet the due dates. Failure
on Buyer's part that results in inability of MGC to collect any amount from
MGC's customers on the open contracts will result in a dollar-for-dollar
reduction in the total amount payable under this Section 6.3. MGC will use
reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Buyer in the transfer of
Business assets to and assumption of Business obligations by Buyer as provided
by the Agreement. MGC shall retain any liability or obligation with respect to
the Business other than those assumed by Buyer under Sections 1.3 and 6.

        6.4 Support Responsibilities and Service Standards. The parties shall
perform the software support responsibilities described in EXHIBIT B. Buyer will
use sound and professional principles and practices in accordance with generally
accepted industry standards in the performance of services pursuant to Section
1.3(C) and EXHIBIT B. The performance of Buyer's personnel will reflect their
best professional knowledge, skill and judgment. Any designs or products
resulting from Buyer's services will conform materially to all applicable
specifications. Any software delivered by Buyer, excluding any portion thereof
that was not developed by Buyer, under this Agreement will be able to accurately
process date data, if any, (including but not limited to calculating, comparing,
and sequencing) from, into, and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
including leap year calculations. If any failure to meet the requirements
contained in this Section 6.4 appears within one year after the services are
accepted by MGC or MGC's customers, Buyer will again perform at its sole expense
the services directly affected by such failure. If Buyer is unable to re-perform
services to MGC's satisfaction, Buyer shall refund to MGC the fees paid to Buyer
by MGC for such services. Buyer's obligation for defective or negligently
performed services shall be limited to the cost of re-performing such services.
To the best of Buyer's knowledge the services and any designs or products
resulting from such services will not violate or in any way infringe upon the
rights of third parties, including property, contractual, employment, trade
secrets, proprietary information and non-disclosure rights, or any trademark,
copyright or patent rights. The services shall not be in violation of any
applicable law, rule or regulation. Buyer will comply with all Federal, state
and local laws regarding business permits, certificates and licenses that may be
required to carry out the services to be performed under this Agreement.

        6.5 Non-solicitation. For a period of two years after the date of this
Agreement, Buyer will not directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to leave
the employ of MGC or of any of its affiliates, any employee of MGC or any of its
affiliates.

        6.6 Non-compete. MGC agrees to discontinue all marketing and sales of
products similar to or the same as those listed on SCHEDULE 1.1(b) for a period
of one year after the Closing.

7. Miscellaneous.

        7.1 Survival of Warranties. The warranties, representations and
covenants of Buyer and MGC contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing and shall
in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by
or on behalf of MGC or Buyer.

        7.2 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. No party
hereto may voluntarily or

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

involuntarily assign such party's interest under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the other party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or
their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.

        7.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of Oregon.

        7.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more

together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        7.5 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in
construing or interpreting this Agreement.

        7.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted
under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively
given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified or upon deposit with
the United States Post Office, by first class mail, postage prepaid and
addressed to the party to be notified at the address indicated for such party on
the signature page hereof, or at such other address as such party may designate
by ten (10) days' advance written notice to the other parties.

        7.7 Finder's Fee. Each party represents that it neither is nor will be
obligated for any finders' fee or commission in connection with this
transaction.

        7.8 Expenses. Irrespective of whether the Closing is effected, Buyer and
MGC shall each pay all costs and expenses that they incur with respect to the
negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. If any
action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of
this Agreement or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and necessary
disbursements as fixed by the trial court and, if any appeal is taken from the
decision of the trial court, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements
as fixed by the appellate court in addition to any other relief to which such
party may be entitled.

        7.9 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended
and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only
with the written consent of Buyer and MGC.

        7.10 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held
to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from
this

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such
provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

                              MGC SOFTWARE LICENSE

1. Definitions.

        The following definitions shall apply to this Agreement:

license grant to Buyer under Section 1.1(b) of the Agreement that Buyer
distributes to its customers.

        (b) "MGC Software" means the object code version of the software
components listed in SCHEDULE 1.1(c).

        (c) "Buyer Product Customers" means those customers purchasing Buyer
Products from Buyer.

2. License Provisions.

        2.1 License. MGC grants to Buyer a worldwide, nonexclusive,
nontransferable, royalty-free license to use, bundle or integrate MGC Software
and copy and sublicense the resulting products in object code form to Buyer
Product Customers. Buyer shall not pay any fees related to the license granted
to the MGC Software or for any related sublicenses. MGC shall deliver the MGC
Software within ten business days of the Closing.

        2.2 Restrictions on Use. The following conditions apply to this grant:

            (a) All software provided by MGC to Buyer is trade secret or
confidential information of MGC or its licensors. Buyer shall not make such
software available in any form to any person other than Buyer's employees whose
job performance requires such access and to Buyer Product Customers as
authorized by this Agreement. Buyer shall take appropriate action to protect the
confidentiality of such software and to ensure that any person permitted access
to such software does not provide or disclose it to others. Buyer shall not
reverse-assemble, reverse-compile, or otherwise reverse-engineer any such
software, in whole or in part. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall survive
the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

            (b) Buyer may copy MGC Software only as reasonably necessary to
support the authorized use. Buyer shall reproduce in all copies of MGC Software
all notices and legends included in MGC Software as received from MGC and shall
affix to the copy medium and the container housing the medium all notices and
legends affixed to the medium or container received from MGC. All copies of MGC
Software, whether provided by MGC or made by Buyer or customer licensee, shall
remain the property of MGC or its licensors. Buyer shall maintain a record of
the number and location of all

merged with other software. Buyer shall promptly make such records available to
MGC upon request.

            (c) Buyer shall sublicense MGC Software to customers under the same
license terms that Buyer uses to protect and license its own software products.

            (d) MGC Software may only be used to develop, sublicense and support
of Buyer Products. MGC Software may not be used to develop products which
compete with other MGC products. MGC Software may only be distributed as built
into object code executable Buyer Products.

        2.3 Proprietary Markings. All copies of the MGC Software reproduced or
distributed by or for Buyer will incorporate copyright and other proprietary
notices in the same manner as in the copy provided to Buyer by MGC.

        2.4 Other Material. Except for the MGC Software in SCHEDULE 1.1(c), MGC
shall have no obligation to deliver any material Buyer under this EXHIBIT A-1.

3. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT,
BUYER AGREES THAT MGC SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND MGC MAKES NO WARRANTIES
WITH RESPECT TO LOANED SOFTWARE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

availability; and (ii) deliver to such commitment.

        4.7 Problem Priority. For purposes of this Exhibit, the priority level
which indicates the impact of the problem on the Support Customer is defined
below:

            (a) Critical. The problem prevents use of MGC Products where use of
MGC Products is on Support Customer's critical path, no Workaround exists for
the problem, and use is mission critical to the customer.

            (b) High. The problem prevents use of MGC Products where use of MGC
Products will soon be on Support Customer's critical path and no Workaround
exists for the problem. If this problem is not corrected in a timely fashion, it
may become Critical.

            (c) Medium. The problem impairs use of MGC Products where use of MGC
Products (i) is on Support Customer's critical path, a Workaround exists and the
Workaround process is tedious (impacts productivity); or (ii) the problem
prevents use of MGC Products not on Support Customer's critical path, and no
Workaround exists. In either case, there is a significant impact on productivity
and the problem is seen by the Support Customer as a major inconvenience or a
large number of Support Customers is affected or the problem is chronic.

            (d) Low. The problem impacts productivity and is seen by the Support
Customer as a minor inconvenience and an acceptable Workaround exists for the
problem. Other descriptors may include: nuisance; easily worked around;
annoyance; trivial; or the likelihood of running into it elsewhere is very low
and it is not a severe problem.

        4.8 Failure to Comply. If Buyer does not comply with this Section 4
within a reasonable time, MGC shall have the right to suspend support payments
to Buyer.
