Exhibit 10.1

Description of Cadence Director Healthcare Benefits

     Cadence
Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”) provides health care and prescription drug insurance coverage for active non-employee
directors and eligible retired directors and their dependents (the “Plan”). Dental and vision
insurance coverage are not provided under the Plan. All non-employee directors are eligible for
the Plan during their term of service on the Board of Directors. Retired employee and non-employee
directors are eligible for the Plan for a term not to exceed the duration of their term of service
on the Board of Directors. Under the Plan, Cadence reimburses 100% of the insurance premium for
participants and their dependents up to a maximum of $15,000 per year, which maximum amount may be
adjusted for future changes in health care costs. In addition, the benefits under the Plan are
fully taxable to the participants and Cadence will not defray any such taxes. The Plan replaces
the healthcare plan for non-employee directors adopted by the Board of Directors in October 2002.<PAGE>

Primary Collateral, which notice may only be delivered following the occurrence
of and during the continuation of an event of default in respect of a First Lien
Obligation secured by the Primary Collateral and to the extent such First Lien
Obligations shall not exceed $100,000,000 (it being understood that the

exercise or continue to exercise any rights or remedies or take such other
actions with respect to the Primary Collateral as aforesaid if, notwithstanding
the expiration of the Primary Collateral Standstill Period, the First Lien
Controlling Collateral Parties or any other First Lien Secured Parties shall
have commenced and shall continue the exercise of any of their rights or
remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise
to be given to the applicable Second Lien Controlling Collateral Parties). Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default in

         SECTION 3.03. Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Second Lien
Secured Party or Third Lien Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in
respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an
unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this

Party may obtain relief against such Second Lien Secured Party or Third Lien
Secured Party, as applicable, by injunction, specific performance and/or other
appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien
Representatives on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party and by the Third
Lien Representatives on behalf of each Third Lien Secured Party that (i) the
First Lien Secured Parties' damages from its actions may at that time be

enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action
required by this Agreement, any Second Lien Secured Party may obtain relief
against such Third Lien Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or
other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Third
Lien Representatives on behalf of each Third Lien Secured Party that (i) the
Second Lien Secured Parties' damages from its actions may at that time be
difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Third Lien Secured

the Third Lien Secured Parties of the required payments of interest and
principal or any other amounts so long as such receipt is not the direct or
indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Secured Parties or the Third
Lien Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor or enforcement
in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in
this Section 3.07 impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies
the First Lien Secured Parties may have with respect to the Collateral.

accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

         SECTION 5.06. Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. (a) None
of the Second Lien Representatives nor any other Second Lien Secured Party and

classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency
Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims against the First
Lien Secured Parties, the Second Lien Secured Parties and/or the Third Lien
Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim
(rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the
Second Lien Secured Parties and the Third Lien Secured Parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were
separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against any of the Credit
Parties in respect of any Collateral with the effect being that, to the extent
that the aggregate value of such Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose
ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties and the Third Lien
Secured Parties in respect thereof), the First Lien Secured Parties shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of
principal, pre-petition interest

Secured Parties and the Third Lien Secured Parties, with the Second Lien Secured
Parties and the Third Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to
turn over to the First Lien Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or
receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this
sentence. In addition, to the extent the First Lien Obligations shall have been
Paid in Full and so long as the Second Lien Obligations shall not have been Paid
in Full, if it is held that the claims against the Second Lien Secured Parties
and Third Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one
secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured
claims), then the Third Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and
junior secured claims against any of the Credit Parties in respect of any
Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value
of such Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by
the Third Lien Secured Parties), the Second Lien Secured Parties shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of
principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect
of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the
claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties, with the Third Lien Secured
Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Second Lien
Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent
necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence.

Periods under Section 3.01) or any Third Lien Secured Party, including the
seeking by any Second Lien Secured Party or any Third Lien Secured Party of
adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Lien Secured Party or any
Third Lien Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien
Collateral Documents or Third Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable.

Obligations shall have been Paid in Full and so long as the Second Lien
Obligations shall not have been Paid in Full, prohibit or in any way limit any
Second Lien Representative or any other Second Lien Secured Party from objecting
in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Third Lien
Secured Party, including the seeking by any Third Lien Secured Party of adequate
protection or the asserting by any Third Lien Secured Party of any of its rights
and remedies under the Third Lien Collateral Documents or otherwise.
