                     Exhibit C - Fees/Annual Revenue Quota
                     -------------------------------------

A. Verisity shall pay Company (the "Commission") as follows:

(i)  [*],

(ii) a portion of the Billings, as shall be determined, on a case by case
     basis, by Verisity through its Vice President and General Manager of
     European Operations, at its sole and absolute discretion, in respect of
     orders for Products made by multi-national entities, the branches and/or
     headquarters of which are located within the Territory,

(iii)a portion of the Billings, as shall be determined, on a case by case
     basis, by Verisity through its Vice President and General Manager of
     European Operations, at its sole and absolute discretion, in the case
     where the Product will be delivered to, used, or purchased, in whole or
     in part, by an End-User site which is outside Territory, or when
     salespeople from other territories were involved in the sale,

Billings mean those amounts due and payable to Verisity from End-Users
recognized by Verisity as part of the Company's Quota (less VAT, sales taxes,
withholding taxes if applicable and any other applicable levies and taxes)
provided however, that with respect to Product orders, Billings shall only
include Eligible Product Orders (defined below).

Eligible Product Orders are those which: have been accepted by Verisity; have
had all contingencies removed; have a valid software license agreement on file;
and which have been invoiced with standard payment terms of Net 30 days (or Net
45 days, in the case it is so defined in the agreement with the customer).
Contingent orders are not eligible for payment until End-User acceptance has
been achieved. Commissions on orders from End-Users with indeterminable or
unacceptable credit will be withheld until credit issues are resolved.  Orders
with extended payment terms (beyond 30 or 45 days, as defined above) will be
eligible for Commissions once the payment due date falls within 30 (or 45) days.

Any order which is canceled or revoked by the End-User, or for which payment is
never received, will be "de-booked" by Verisity. Quota and Commission credit for
de-booked order(s) will be subtracted, and Verisity will deduct any Commission
previously paid on the de-booked order(s) from Commissions earned on future
orders and/or may charge Company's account in respect thereof or if, at the time
of such de-booking Company's account is zero, Verisity may request and, if so
requested, Company shall pay promptly the de-booking amount to Verisity.

Any amounts payable by Verisity under this paragraph A will be paid by Verisity
to Company by the end of the month following the month in which invoice is sent
to End User. Payment of such amounts will be in U.S. dollars.

absolute discretion, not later then by January 15 of the relevant fiscal year.

C.   If, at the request of Verisity, a CE has to travel outside the Territory in
order to perform his/her duties under Section 5(i) of the Agreement, then,
subject to Verisity's prior written approval, CE will be reimbursed for
reasonable traveling, lodging and dining expenses.
