SUMMARY OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $80,000, and the Chairman of the
Board, if a non-employee director, receives an additional annual retainer of $80,000. In addition
to the annual retainer, non-employee directors who serve as the Chairman of the Audit Committee,
the Finance Committee or the Technology Committee receive an annual fee of $40,000, non-employee
directors who serve as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee or the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee receive an annual fee of $20,000, non-employee directors who serve as the
Chairman of any special committee of the Board receive a quarterly fee of $15,000 and non-employee
directors who serve as a member of any special committee of the Board receive a quarterly fee of
$10,000. Non-employee directors are also paid $2,000 for each Board or committee meeting attended
in person and $1,000 for each Board or committee meeting attended by telephone or other electronic
means. No additional compensation is paid when the Board of Directors or a committee acts by
unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting. Non-employee directors are eligible for
reimbursement of their expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and Committee
meetings in accordance with Cadence policy.

     Under Cadence’s 1995 Directors Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director is automatically
granted an option upon joining the Board of Directors to purchase the number of shares of Cadence
common stock equal to 6,250 multiplied by the number of full calendar quarters between the date the
director’s service begins and the next April 1st. A director is considered to have served the
entire calendar quarter if he or she becomes a director at any time during the first half of the
quarter. These initial grants vest and become exercisable in full on the March 31st following the
grant date and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Cadence common stock on the
grant date. In addition, every April 1st, each non-employee director is automatically granted an
option to purchase 25,000 shares of Cadence common stock and a non-employee director serving as
Chairman of the Board is automatically granted an additional option to purchase 25,000 shares of
common stock. These annual option grants vest and become exercisable in full on the March 31st
following the grant date and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Cadence
common stock on the grant date, with fair market value being deemed to be the average of the
closing prices of Cadence common stock for each of the last twenty trading days prior to the grant
date of the option on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or such other primary national exchange on
which Cadence common stock is listed.exv10w02

thereof. Landlord shall also have the right, at its option, froth time to time, without terminating
this Lease, to relet the Premises, or any part thereof,

19

 

with or without legal process, as the agent, and for the account, of Tenant upon such terms and
conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, in which event the rents received on such reletting
shall be applied (i) first to the reasonable and actual expenses of such reletting and collection,
including without limitation necessary renovation and alterations of the Premises, reasonable and
actual attorneys’ fees and any reasonable and actual real estate commissions paid, and (ii)
thereafter toward payment of all sums due or to become due to Landlord hereunder. If a sufficient
amount to pay such expenses and sums shall not be realized, in Landlord’s exercise of commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages (which Landlord hereby agrees to make), then Tenant
shall pay Landlord any such deficiency monthly, and Landlord may bring an action or actions
therefor as such monthly deficiency shall arise and acme. Landlord shall not, in any event, be
required to pay Tenant any sums received by Landlord on a reletting of the Premises in excess of
the rent provided in this Lease, but such excess shall reduce any accrued present or future
obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord’s re-entry and reletting of the Premises without
termination of this Lease shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently terminating this Lease as
set forth below.

          (b) Terminate Lease. Landlord, at its option, may terminate the Lease
by written notice to Tenant. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may take possession of the
Premises by judicial proceeding and may recover all damages allowed by state law and subject to any

such reasonable and actual expenses as Landlord may incur in enforcing the terms of this Lease
and/or recovering possession of the Premises, placing the same in good order and condition and
repairing or renovating the same for reletting, and all other reasonable and actual expenses,
commissions and charges incurred by Landlord in exercising any remedy provided herein or as a
result of any Event of Default by Tenant hereunder (including without limitation attorneys’ fees),
provided that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to compensate Landlord for any speculative or
consequential damages caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.

          (d) Remedies Are Cumulative. The various rights and remedies
reserved to Landlord herein are cumulative, and Landlord may pursue any and all such rights and
remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity, whether at the
same time or otherwise (to the extent not inconsistent with specific provisions of this Lease).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord expressly waives its right to forcibly
dispossess Tenant from the Premises, whether peaceably or otherwise, without judicial process, such
that Landlord shall not be entitled to any “commercial lockout” or any other provisions of
applicable law which permit landlords to dispossess tenants from commercial properties without the
benefit of judicial review.

payments of money due Tenant hereunder within ten (10) days after the receipt

20

 

of written notice from Tenant that same is overdue (in which event the delinquent amount shall
accrue interest at the Default Rate); or (b) Landlord’s failure to perform any nonmonetary
obligation of Landlord hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
Tenant to Landlord specifying such default and demanding that the same be owed; provided that, if
such default cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord
shall have such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default, so long as
Landlord proceeds promptly to commence the cure of same within such thirty (30) day period and
diligently prosecutes the cure to completion shall constitute an “Event of Default.”

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Landlord, at Tenant’s option, in addition to any
and all other remedies which it may have at law and/or in equity (to the extent not inconsistent
with. the specific provisions of this Lease), and without its actions being deemed an election of
remedies or a cure of Landlord’s default, Tenant may do all or any of the following: (i) pay or
perform such obligations and offset Tenant’s reasonable and actual cost of performance, including
any and all transaction costs and attorneys’ fees, plus interest at the Default Rate, against the
Rent due Landlord hereunder or (ii) sue for direct (but under no circumstances special,
consequential or punitive) damages, including interest, transaction costs and attorneys’ fees as
specified in subsection (i) above. In no event shall Tenant have any sight to terminate this Lease
as a result of an Event of Default by Landlord.

the other of any provisions of this Lease, neither shall thereby be precluded from enforcing or be
held to have waived any of the obligations, past, present or future, of this Lease, Either parry
may accept late payment or performance by the other without waiving any Event of Default which may
then have accrued.

     29. Compliance with Applicable Laws. During the Term, Tenant shall comply with all
lawful requirements of the local, county and state health boards, police and fire departments,
municipal and state authorities and any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the
Premises, and of the board of fire underwriters, respecting, Tenant’s use and occupancy of the
premises, provided, however that if any violation of such requirements arises from the failure of
Landlord to perform maintenance or repairs required to be performed by Landlord hereunder, or from
failure of the Premises to meet lawful requirements as of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall be,
responsible for such compliance to the extent of such maintenance and repairs required to be
performed by Landlord. In the event that Tenant, within thirty (30) prior days’ written notice
(except in the case of an emergency, in which event only such notice as is reasonable under he
circumstances shall be required) from Landlord or any such authority ordering performance of any
such work which Tenant is required to perform in order to remain in, or come into, compliance with
any such requirement, fails to perform or diligently commence performance of same with reasonable
promptness, Landlord may perform said work and collect the reasonable cost thereof plus interest at
the Default Rate as additional rent from Tenant with, the next installment or installments of Rent.
