Form of Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.5 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered
into as of the          day of                     , 200     by and
between Magma Design Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                         (“Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in
obtaining liability insurance for the Company’s directors and officers, the significant increases in cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. 
 B. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors and officers to
expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited. 
 C. The
Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and, in part, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, wishes to provide for the
indemnification and advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 D. In view of the considerations set forth
above, the Company desires that Indemnitee be indemnified by the Company as set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee
hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or
is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any
hearing, inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other
(hereinafter a “Claim”) by reason of (or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in such
capacity (hereinafter an “Indemnifiable Event”) against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or
participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance 

 
by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a
result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses (collectively, hereinafter
“Expenses”) if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee had
no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
 (b) Mandatory Payment of Expenses.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 8 hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of a Claim without prejudice, in
defense of any Claim referred to in Section (1)(a) hereof or in the defense of any Claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. 
 2. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure. 
 (a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal Claim referenced in
Section 1(a) hereof in advance of the final disposition of such Claim. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee following a request therefor, but in any event no later than sixty days after receipt by the Company of written demand from
Indemnitee for such advances. 
 (b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to
Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification or advancement will or could be sought under this Agreement.
Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition,
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. 
 (c) Procedure. Any indemnification and advances provided for in Section 1 and Section 2 of this Agreement shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee as soon as practicable after receipt of written
request from Indemnitee for such indemnification or advances, but in any event no later than sixty days after receipt of such request. If the Company believes that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under
applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount(s) claimed, the Company may file an action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to obtain a declaratory judgment that Indemnitee is not entitled under applicable law
to receive indemnification or advancement from the Company (hereinafter a “Declaratory Action”). If the Company files a Declaratory Action, Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of Expenses pursuant to
Subsection 2(a) including Expenses incurred in 

  

 -2- 

 
defending a Declaratory Action unless and until the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware issues an order or judgment that Indemnitee is not entitled
under applicable law to receive indemnification or advancement from the Company. If the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware issues an order or judgment in a Declaratory Action that Indemnitee is not entitled under applicable law to receive
indemnification or advancement from the Company, the Company shall have no further obligation under this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company Bylaws or any other applicable law, statute or rule to provide
indemnification or advances of Expenses to Indemnitee. 
 (d) No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the
termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of
the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by
applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard
of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 (e) Burden
of Proof. In a Declaratory Action, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advances. 
 (f) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof,
the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company
shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
 (g) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice,
approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the
same Claim. Notwithstanding the Company’s assumption of the defense of any Claim, the Company shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Indemnitee counsel if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously
authorized by the Company, (B) the Company shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense such that Indemnitee needs to be separately represented, or
(C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel or new counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to defend such Claim. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in
its sole discretion, including the right to settle any Claim against Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee.

 3. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity. 
 (a) Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such
indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any
applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this
Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in
Section 8(a) hereof. 
 (b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to
any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action Indemnitee took or did not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity. 

4. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made
against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
 5. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of
Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
 6. Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may
prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. 
  

 -4- 

 7. Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. The Company shall, from time to time,
make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing its directors and officers with coverage for losses from
wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by
such coverage. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of
the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or
maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such
insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company. 
 8. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement: 
 (a) Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnfiy or advance Expenses with respect to (i) any Claim by
or in the right of the Company as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court in which such Claim was brought, shall
determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses such court shall deem proper, or (ii) any other
acts, omissions or transactions from which Indemnitee may not be relieved of liability under applicable law; 
 (b) Claims
Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to Claims brought to establish or enforce a right to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events,
(ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, regardless of whether Indemnitee
ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be; 
 (c) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify or advance Expenses in connection with a violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute (“Section
16(b)”), including the payment by Indemnitee of profits arising from the purchase and sale of securities in violation of Section 16(b); or 
  

 -5- 

 (d) Disgorgement of Profits and Bonuses Pursuant to Section 304. To indemnify
Indemnitee for (i) any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by Indemnitee or (ii) any profits arising from the sale of securities by Indemnitee, in each case that Indemnitee is required pursuant to
Section 304 of the Sabarnes-Oxley Act of 2002 to reimburse to the Company. 
 9. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be
brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of five (5) years from the date
of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such five-year period; provided, however, that
if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern. 
 10.
Construction of Certain Phrases. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement
with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to
“fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company”
as referred to in this Agreement. 
 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original. 
 12. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor or assign by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor or assign (whether 

  

 -6- 

 
direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the
Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession or assignment had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request. 
 13. Notice. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first
class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid, or (d) one day after the business day of
delivery by facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile transmission, with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed if to Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee address as set forth beneath Indemnitee signatures to this
Agreement and if to the Company at the address of its principal corporate offices (attention: Secretary) or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto. 
 14. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware
for all purposes in connection with any action which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County, which shall be the exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim. 
 15.
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 
 16. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents, entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. 

17. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
  

 -7- 

 18. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this
Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 19. Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. 
 20. No Construction as Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

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

 Exhibit 10.6 
 MAGMA DESIGN AUTOMATION 
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE 
 This Separation Agreement and Mutual Release (“Agreement”) is made as of the
13th day of February, 2009 by and between Magma Design Automation, Inc. (the “Company”) and David Stanley (“Employee”). The
Parties desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of reaching an amicable separation of their employment relationship and to promote harmonious relations in the future. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Employee (each individually, a “Party” and collectively referred to as “the Parties”) hereby agree as
follows: 
  

	1)	Separation Date. Employee’s last day worked at Magma will be 2/4/2009 (“the Separation Date”). 

  

	2)	Termination Date. Employee’s employment at Magma ends on 2/13/2009 (“the Termination Date”). All Company records will indicate that Employee’s employment
terminated as a result of a layoff. The Company will not contest an application for unemployment benefits filed by the Employee. Employee will be provided with a copy of the complete contents of his Personnel File. 

  

	3)	Mutual Release of Claims and Consideration. In consideration of Employee’s receipt of the “Release Proceeds” described below, the Employee hereby releases,
waives and forever discharges the Company from all asserted and unasserted claims relating directly or indirectly to his employment relationship with the Company. This Agreement also releases the Company’s subsidiaries, successors, assigns,
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, servants, and agents from all such claims. The Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement will release the Company from all claims arising under any form of law, including, but not limited to,
claims arising under any state or federal statute, constitutional provision, common law, executive order, or agency regulation up to the Effective Date of this Agreement as defined in Paragraph 10(b). 

 a. Additionally, the Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement will release the Company from all claims arising under any
federal, state or local law which prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, veteran status, or any other such specially protected class. Such claims include, but are not limited
to, claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. The Employee also understands and agrees that this
Agreement will release the Company from all tort claims and all contract claims, including, but not limited to, claims for defamation, invasion of privacy, fraud, emotional distress, personal injury, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, breach of
implied employment contract, and claims based on any covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement releases the Company from any obligation to pay the Employee any other form of severance pay other
than as provided in this Agreement. Finally, the Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement releases the Company from all other claims that directly or indirectly relate to the Employee’s employment relationship with the Company.
Employee does not release his rights under his Indemnification Agreement with the Company dated December 23, 2008, or under any of the Company’s Stock Option Agreement and Plans in which he has vested benefits, nor does Employee release
any claims that cannot be released in a private settlement agreement. Employee reserves his right to enforce this Agreement. 
 b. The Company, in return for Employee signing this Agreement, hereby mutually releases, acquits and forever discharges Employee from all actions, cause of action, liabilities, disputes, judgments, obligations, damages and claims in any
manner relating to Employee’s employment and termination from employment with the Company. The Company reserves its right to enforce this Agreement.

	4)	Release Proceeds and Other Separation Benefits. In consideration for Employee’s release of claims, the Company agrees to pay the Employee a lump sum amount of
$300,000.00 (hereinafter “Release Proceeds”) within eight (8) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to pay for twelve (12) months of COBRA coverage from March 1, 2009 through
February 28, 2010. The Employee will receive a lump sum payment grossed up for taxes in the amount of $20,024.76 to cover the costs of COBRA coverage for twelve (12) months. The Company will provide Employee with outplacement services.
Payment under this Paragraph 4 shall be made after compliance with Paragraph 5 but in no event less than eight (8) days after execution of this Agreement by Employee. Employee will be able to convert his group life insurance and long term
disability coverage to an individual policy upon termination. 

  

	5)	Return of Company Property. Within three (3) business days of the Termination Date (the “Return Date”), Employee agrees to return all Company property
remaining in his or her possession or under his or her control to the Company, including, but not limited to, credit cards, computers, external hard drives and hardware, cell phones, printers, fax machines, calculators, software, source code, data
and documents. The Company will not pay the Release Proceeds to the Employee until all Company equipment has been returned. Employee also agrees to promptly return any subsequently discovered property in his possession after the Return Date.

  

	6)	Taxes. For tax purposes, the Release Proceeds are deemed to be a settlement for lost compensation. As a result, the Company is required to and will make appropriate
federal and state tax withholdings from the Release Proceeds. The Company will also make any other payroll deductions that Employee has authorized in writing. 

  

	7)	Compensation and/or Benefits through Termination Date. The Company will pay to Employee his base salary through the Termination date of 2/13/2009 as well as all accrued
Vacation benefits and Employee Stock Purchase Plan contributions. The Company will also pay for health benefit coverage through the end of the month in which the Termination Date occurs, minus any Employee contributions. 

 a. The Parties agree that the amounts set forth in this Agreement are accurate and that neither Employee nor Company shall have any
recovery against the other for amounts alleged to have been overpaid or underpaid on or before the Effective Date. The payments and benefits described in this Paragraph 7 are separate and distinct from the Release Proceeds and are not part of the
consideration provided by the Company for the Employee’s release and other duties and obligations under this Agreement. 
  

	8)	Stock Options & Stock Units. In addition to whatever already vested options of Company’s common stock or restricted stock units of shares the Employee may hold,
the Employee will receive the additional benefit of the immediate accelerated vesting of the same amount of shares as if he were to remain employed through February 13, 2010 and the Employee’s exercise date for all vested shares shall not
expire until February 15, 2010. Employee will be provided with an accurate statement of his vested stock options (including the accelerated portion of his options) pursuant to this Agreement prior to his Termination Date.

  

	9)	No Admission of Wrongdoing. By executing this Agreement, the Company does not admit any liability for any claim or damage caused by or arising out of any actual or alleged
act, error or omission against the Employee or any other person. 

  

	10)	ADEA: Employee’s Opportunity to Review; Time to Revoke; Advice to Seek Counsel; Knowing and Voluntary Assent to Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the Company has
given him the opportunity to consider this Agreement for a maximum of 45 days and that he has read this Agreement and fully understands its terms. 

 a. Employee understands that he may revoke this Agreement within 7 days after its execution. In order to revoke this Agreement, the
Employee must deliver a written notice of revocation to the following: Camellia N. Ngo, Vice President, Human Resources, 1650 Technology Drive, San Jose, CA 95110. 
  

 Page 2 of 4 

 b. If the Company does not receive such written notice within 7 days after the execution
date, the Employee understands that he no longer will be able to revoke this Agreement. 
 c. Employee acknowledges that the
Company advised the Employee to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement. The Employee knows and understands the terms of this Agreement and has decided to voluntarily enter into and execute this Agreement. 
 d. The Effective Date of this Agreement will be on the 8th day after Employee signs it so long as Employee has not previously revoked the Agreement in writing as described in Paragraph 10(b) above. 
  

	11)	No Admission of Wrongdoing. By executing this Agreement, the Company does not admit any liability for any claim or damage caused by or arising out of any actual or alleged
act, error or omission against the Employee or any other person. 

  

	12)	Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. The Employee agrees not to reveal to any other person or entity any trade secrets or confidential information of the Company,
unless ordered to do so by a court or other government authority. The Employee understands that the term “trade secrets” means confidential or proprietary information regarding the Company’s business that is highly sensitive, special
or unique to the Company (for example, the source code for the Company’s products). The Employee understands that the term “confidential information” means any information regarding the Company’s business which is not generally
known by the public (for example, financial information concerning the Company, lists of the Company’s customers, Company data, etc.). Employee shall return all the Company property and confidential and proprietary information in his or her
possession to the Company within three (3) business days from the Termination Date. 

  

	13)	COBRA Rights. The Employee hereby acknowledges that the Company has advised the Employee that, pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA),
the Employee has the right to elect continued coverage under the Company’s group health plan, at the Employee’s own expense, for the maximum COBRA period from the date of the termination of the Employee’s employment. The Employee
acknowledges that he must make this election within 60 days of the later of: (1) the date the Employee’s coverage ends, which is 2/28/2009; or (2) the date of the Employee’s notice of his COBRA rights. Employee will receive under
separate cover notification of his right to continue coverage under COBRA.

expressly waive any rights or benefits available to them under the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, which provides in part: “A release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to
exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Employee and the Company agree to expressly waive any rights either may have under such
Section 1542, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.
