INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
___________________________ (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee performs a valuable service to
the Company in his or her capacity as a director of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Company have
adopted bylaws (the “Bylaws”) providing for the indemnification of the
officers, directors, employees and other agents of the Company, including
persons serving at the request of the Company in such capacities with other
companies or enterprises, to the maximum extent authorized by the Delaware
General Company Law, as amended (the “Code”);

 

WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Code, by their
non-exclusive nature, permit contracts between the Company and the members of
its Board of Directors, officers, employees and other agents with respect to
indemnification of such persons; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue
to serve as a director of the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to
enter into this Agreement with Indemnitee.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s continued
service as a director after the date hereof, and for other good and valid
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.             Services to the Company. 
Indemnitee will serve as a director of the Company or as a director,
officer or other fiduciary of a Subsidiary of the Company (including any
employee benefit plan of the Company) (as defined below) faithfully and to the
best of his or her ability so long as he or she is duly elected and qualified
in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws or other applicable charter
documents of the Company or such Subsidiary; provided,
however, that Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign
from such position (subject to any contractual obligation that Indemnitee may
have assumed apart from this Agreement). For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary”
means any corporation of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and
one or more other subsidiaries, or by one or more other subsidiaries.

 

2.             Indemnification of
Indemnitee.   The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless
and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the
provisions of the Bylaws and the Code, as the same may be amended from time to
time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than the Bylaws or the Code permitted
prior to adoption of such amendment).

 

3.             Additional Indemnity.  In
addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification otherwise provided for
herein, and subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 4 hereof,
the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

 

1

 

(a)           against any and
all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee and any other amounts that Indemnitee becomes legally obligated to
pay because of any claim or claims made against or by him or her in connection
with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative (including an
action by or in the right of the Company) to which Indemnitee is, was or at any
time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the
fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer,
employee or other agent of Company or a Subsidiary, or is or was serving or at
any time serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee
or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise; and

 

(b)           otherwise to
the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee by the Company under the
non-exclusivity provisions of the Code and the Bylaws.

 

4.             Limitations on Additional
Indemnity.  No indemnity pursuant to Section 3
hereof shall be paid by the Company:

 

(a)           in respect to
remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be determined by a final judgment
or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law;

 

(b)           on account of
any claim against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the
purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local
statutory law;

 

(c)           on account of
Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as knowingly
fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;

 

(d)           on account of
Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a
breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any
personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee was not legally entitled;

 

(e)           for which
payment is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance
policy or under any valid and enforceable non-Company indemnity clause, bylaw
or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment under such
insurance, clause, bylaw or agreement;

 

(f)            if
indemnification is not lawful (and, in this respect, both the Company and
Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission
believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal
securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and
that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for
adjudication);

 

(g)           if the action,
suit or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnity hereunder is
made arose from or is based upon any of the following:

 

(i)            any
solicitation of proxies by Indemnitee, or by a group of which he or she was or
became a member consisting of two or more persons that had agreed (whether
formally or informally and whether or not in writing) to act together for the
purpose of soliciting proxies, in opposition to any solicitation of proxies
approved by the Board of Directors; or

 

2

 

(ii)           any activities
by Indemnitee that constitute a breach of or default under any agreement
between Indemnitee and the Company; or

 

(h)           in connection
with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, or any
proceeding by Indemnitee against the Company or any Subsidiary or the
directors, officers, employees or other agents of the Company or any
Subsidiary, including, but not limited to, an action described under Section 8(c)(ii) herein,
unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the
proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) such
indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to
the powers vested in the Company under the Code, or (iv) the proceeding is
initiated pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

 

5.             Contribution.  If
the indemnification provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof is unavailable by reason
of a court decision described in Section 4(f) hereof based on grounds
other than any of those set forth in Sections 4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g) or
(h) hereof, then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the
Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such
action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other in connection with the
events which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances
resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts.  The Company agrees that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined
by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation, which does not take
account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

 

6.             Notification and Defense of
Claim.  Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt
by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding,
Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof;
but Indemnitee’s omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company
from any liability which the Company may have to Indemnitee otherwise than
under this Agreement.  With respect to
any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company
of the commencement thereof:

 

(a)           the Company
will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

 

(b)           except as
otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its option and jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such
defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Indemnitee.  After notice from the
Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the
Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
defense thereof except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as
provided below.  Indemnitee shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the
fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its
assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i)  the
employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii)  Indemnitee
shall have reasonably concluded, and so notified the Company, that there may be
a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the
defense of such action or (iii)  the Company shall not in fact have
employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases
the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be at the expense
of the Company.  The Company shall not be
entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or
on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion
provided for in clause (ii) above; and

 

3

 

(c)           the Company
shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any
amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written
consent.  The Company shall be permitted
to settle any action except that it shall not settle any action or claim in any
manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without
Indemnitee’s written consent.

 

7.             Advancement and Repayment of
Expenses.

 

(a)           In the event
that Indemnitee employs his or her own counsel pursuant to Sections 7(b) above,
the Company shall advance to Indemnitee, prior to any final disposition of any
threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, any and all reasonable expenses (including
legal fees and expenses) incurred in investigating or defending any such
action, suit or proceeding within ten (10) days after receiving from
Indemnitee copies of invoices presented to Indemnitee for such expenses.

 

(b)           Indemnitee
agrees that Indemnitee will reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses
paid by the Company in investigating or defending any civil or criminal action,
suit or proceeding against Indemnitee in the event and only to the extent it
shall be ultimately determined by a final judicial decision (from which there
is no right of appeal) that Indemnitee is not entitled, under the provisions of
the Code, the Bylaws, this Agreement or otherwise, to be indemnified by the
Company for such expenses.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to advance such expenses to
Indemnitee in respect of any action arising from or based upon any of the
matters set forth in subsection (h) of Section 4 or if
Indemnitee (i) commences any action, suit or proceeding as a plaintiff
unless such advance is specifically approved by a majority of the Board of
Directors or (ii) is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by
the Company and approved by a majority of the Board which alleges willful
misappropriation of corporate assets by Indemnitee, disclosure of confidential
information in violation of Indemnitee’s fiduciary or contractual obligations
to the Company, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of
Indemnitee’s duty to the Company or its shareholders.

 

8.             Enforcement.  Any
right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Indemnitee
shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied,
in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within
ninety (90) days of request therefor. 
Indemnitee, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in
part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his or her
claim.  It shall be a defense to any
action for which a claim for indemnification is made under Sections 2
and 3 hereof (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
pursuant to Section 8 hereof, provided
that the required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set
forth in Section 4 hereof.  Neither
the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
enforcement action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board
of Directors or its stockholders) that such indemnification is improper shall
be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

4

 

9.             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.

 

10.          Continuation of Obligations.  All
agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall commence upon
the date that Indemnitee first became a member of the Board of Directors or an
officer, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may
be, and shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary (or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be
subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
any Subsidiary or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

 

11.          Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The
rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any
other right which Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior
indemnification agreements entered into by and between the Company and
Indemnitee and that any such prior indemnification agreement shall be
terminated upon the execution of this Agreement.

 

12.          Separability.  Each
of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and
independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions
hereof.  Furthermore, if this Agreement
shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent provided by the Bylaws,
the Code or any other applicable law.

 

13.          Governing Law.  This
Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware.

 

14.          Binding Effect.   This Agreement shall be binding upon
Indemnitee and upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to
the benefit of Indemnitee, his or her heirs, personal representatives and
assigns and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

 

15.          Amendment and Termination.  No
amendment, modification, termination or 
cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing and is signed by both parties hereto.

 

16.          Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for
all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement. 
Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence of
this Agreement.

 

17.          Headings.  The
headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only
and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction hereof.

 

5

 

18.          Notices.  All
notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon delivery if
delivered by hand to the party to whom such communication was directed or (ii) upon

1

 

This Synopsys Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”
or the “Plan”) provides members of the Company’s senior management the
potential to earn variable compensation linked directly to attainment of the
Company’s fiscal year objectives, Business Group performance (as applicable),
and individual performance and contribution.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

To be eligible to receive an award under
this Plan, an executive must have been designated by the Board of Directors as
an “officer” of the Company pursuant to rule 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and must be:

 

•                  a regular employee scheduled to work at least
20 hours per week;

•                  employed by Synopsys as of the first work day
of the fourth quarter in the fiscal year;

•                  actively employed through the last day of the
fiscal year (or on an approved leave of absence);

and

•                  not participating in a commission or any other
incentive plan (including, but not limited to, a sales or applications
consulting compensation plan, CIP, or a special incentive plan in connection
with an acquisition).

 

TARGETED PERCENTAGE OF FISCAL YEAR ELIGIBLE EARNINGS

 

The targeted incentive percentage for each
eligible executive is set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors.  An executive’s actual award
may be substantially different than his or her targeted bonus based on Company
and Business Group (if applicable) achievement and individual performance and
contribution, as assessed by the executive’s management and approved by the
Compensation Committee.

 

The targeted incentive is expressed as a
percentage of eligible earnings. 
Eligible earnings include base salary, flexible time off (FTO) pay, and
disability benefits (if applicable) actually paid through Synopsys Payroll
during the fiscal year.  All other types
of compensation such as spot bonuses, employee referral bonuses, and amounts
realized from the exercise of stock options or upon purchase or sale of shares
under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan do not count as eligible
earnings.

 

If an executive has participated in a
commission plan or other incentive bonus plan for part of the fiscal year, only
earnings received during the portion of the year the executive was eligible for
EIP will be included as eligible earnings. 
For eligible executives who join the Company pursuant to an acquisition,
only qualifying compensation as described above paid by Synopsys following the closing
date of the acquisition will be counted.

FUNDING THE PLAN

 

When determining EIP pool funding,
Synopsys measures 1) overall corporate performance, and 2) business group
performance (if applicable).

 

For executives in product Business Groups,
the incentive pool is funded [*]% based on the Company performance and [*]%
based on the executive’s Business Group performance.  For executives in infrastructure or corporate
services/support groups (Corporate Marketing, Finance/Legal/Operations, Human
Resources/Facilities, Technology & Information Systems (CTO), and the
Office of the President), the incentive pool is solely funded 100% based on
Company performance.    In the event an
eligible executive transfers from a business group to a corporate
infrastructure group or vice versa during the fiscal year, appropriate pool
funding will be determined by the executive’s management, subject to the
approval of the Compensation Committee.

 

CORPORATE PERFORMANCE

 

Synopsys must achieve in aggregate at
least 90% of its fiscal year plan for accepted orders, revenue and expenses for
any pool funding to occur, regardless of individual Business Group
performance.  Corporate pool funding
increases or decreases based on Synopsys’ actual performance against the fiscal
year plan.  Pool funding rates based on actual performance are set forth in Exhibit A
to this Plan.  For example, if
aggregate performance is 99%, 97% of the targeted pool will be funded.  In calculating corporate orders achievement,
accepted orders may be adjusted (up or
down) based on the six quarter revenue signature of the orders (excluding
upfront orders) accepted each quarter compared to a benchmark that is
consistent with the Company’s long term financial plan (the “Orders Quality
Modifier” ).

 

The relative
weighting of orders (as adjusted by the OQM), revenue and expenses is as
follows:

 

THE MEASUREMENTS

 

Corporate Performance (100%):

Accepted Orders (OQM adjusted) [*]%

BUSINESS GROUP PERFORMANCE

 

Each product Business Group must achieve
at least 90% of its fiscal year plan for accepted orders and expenses in
aggregate, in order for the Business Group portion ([*]%) of the incentive pool
to fund. If the Business Group does not achieve at least 90% of its plan, only
the portion of the incentive pool based on Company performance ([*]%), if funded,
will be available for payout to Business Group employees.

The pool increases or decreases based on
the product Business Group’s actual performance against its fiscal year plan similar
to the Corporate performance scale above. 
In calculating BG orders achievement, accepted orders may be adjusted (up or down) based on the OQM.

 

 The maximum pool funding for the Business Group
component is [*]%, unless Synopsys as a whole exceeds 100% of the corporate plan,
in which case the maximum pool funding
is [*]%.

INDIVIDUAL PAYOUT

 

An eligible executive’s individual
performance and contribution during the fiscal year largely determines his or
her EIP award.  Fifty percent of an
eligible executive’s bonus will be based on the financial performance of the
Company and Business Group, as applicable. 
The remaining 50% will be based on an assessment of achievement of
business objectives and impact to the Company, as determined by the executive’s
management and the Compensation Committee.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE PLAN

 

This Plan supersedes and replaces all
prior corporate incentive plans.  The
Company may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, with or without notice. The
Company may likewise terminate an individual’s participation in the Plan at any
time, with or without notice.  Nothing in
this Plan shall be construed to be a guarantee that any participant will
receive all or part of an incentive award or to imply a contract between the
Company and any participant.   Eligibility
for and determination of incentive awards under the Plan are within the sole
discretion of the Company, and prior to actual distribution, incentive awards may
be increased, reduced or eliminated.
