 Effective
<<Grant Date>>, Synopsys, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you a Nonstatutory Stock Option (the “Option”) under the 2006 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to buy <<# of
Shares>> shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of <<price>> per share. This Option is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth
in this Notice of Grant of Stock Options and Option Agreement (including any appendices hereto, the “Agreement”) and the Plan, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. This Option is also subject to the Compensation
Recovery Policy applicable to corporate staff, adopted by the Company in December 2008, as amended from time to time (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”) and any required compensation recovery provisions under applicable laws
or regulations. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. 
 This
Option will vest, and may be exercised, in whole or in part, in accordance with the following vesting schedule, subject to your Continuous Service with the Company or any Affiliate.

 1. Exercise, Including upon Termination of Employment. Payment of the exercise price is due in
full upon exercise of all or any part of the Option. Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted in the Plan (except as provided in Appendix A). In the event of termination of your Continuous
Service for any reason other than Cause, you will be permitted to exercise the Option to the extent vested at the time of termination for ninety (90) days following your date of termination (except as provided in Appendix A); provided,
however, that if your termination is due to death or disability, or if you die within ninety (90) days following your termination without “Cause”, the post-termination exercise period is twelve (12) months (except as provided
in Appendix A); provided further that if your termination is for “Cause” as defined in the Plan, you shall not be permitted to exercise the Option in any respect. In addition, if your Option is not exercisable during the applicable
post-termination exercise period solely because the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are not then registered under the Securities Act and are not otherwise issuable under an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, this Option shall not expire until the earlier of the expiration date set forth above or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of at least ninety (90) days after the termination of your Continuous Service.

 2. Responsibility for Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in the Appendix, the
provisions of this Section 2 shall apply. Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (if different from the Company) (the Company or your employer, referred to hereinafter as the “Employer”) takes with respect
to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is
and remains your responsibility and that the Employer (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the
Option, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for
Tax-Related Items. 
 Prior to exercise of the Option, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Employer to satisfy
all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Employer. In this regard, you authorize the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Employer and/or from proceeds
of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Employer may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares (including permitting you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a
broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) that you acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that the Employer only withholds the amount of
shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, you shall pay to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your receipt or exercise of the Option and your sale of
the shares obtained pursuant to any exercise of the Option that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Employer may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in
connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section. Regardless of any action the Employer takes with respect to Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and
remains your responsibility and that the Employer (x) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option,
and the subsequent sale of shares delivered pursuant thereto; and (y) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. In particular, you acknowledge
that this Option is exempt from Section 409A of the Code only if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the “fair market value” per share of the Common Stock on the grant date and there is no other impermissible deferral of
compensation associated with the Option. 
 3. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant of the Option, you acknowledge that:

 (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Employer, is discretionary in nature, and may be modified,
amended, suspended or terminated by the Company as provided in the Plan; 

  
 2 

 (b) the grant of the Option and any other options or Awards under the Plan is
voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, shares, Awards or any other benefit or compensation in lieu of future options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

 (c) all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 (d) your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment or service with the Employer
and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship at any time with or without cause; 
 (e) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; 
 (f) the Option is an
extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Employer, and that is outside the scope of your employment or service contract, if any; 

(g) the Option and any income derived therefrom is a potential bonus payment not paid in lieu of any normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, life or accident insurance benefits, pension or
retirement benefits or similar payments; 
 (h) in the event of the termination of your employment or service
relationship, the Option will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Employer; and furthermore, the Option will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract with the Employer or any
Affiliate; 
 (i) in the event of the termination of your employment or service relationship, your eligibility to
receive shares of common stock or payments under the Option or the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the date expressly provided in the Option, regardless of any reasonable notice period mandated by local law; 

(j) the future value of the shares underlying the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

(k) if the value of the underlying shares does not exceed the exercise price upon exercise, the Option will have no value and
if you exercise the Option, the value of the shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price; 
 (l) you understand that should you die owning shares of Common Stock or the Option, such shares or the Option may subject your estate to United States federal estate taxes. You understand that you should
seek your own tax advice regarding this potential tax; 
 (m) you disclaim any entitlement to compensation or
damages arising from the termination of the Option or diminution in value of the shares of Common Stock and you hereby irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; and 

  
 3 

 (n) the Plan and the Agreement set forth the entire understanding between you,
the Company, the Employer, and any Affiliate thereof regarding the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the Option. 

4. Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in
electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in Employer, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock

any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and
protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Personal Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive,
possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required
to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired upon exercise of the Option. You understand that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your
participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view the Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to the Personal Data or refuse or
withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to hold the Option and participate
in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

State’s conflict of laws rules. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive

 8.
Restrictive Legends. The Common Stock issued under this Option shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.
