B. The Board of Directors of OrCAD (the "ORCAD BOARD") (i) has determined

determined to recommend that the stockholders of OrCAD adopt and approve this
Agreement and approve the Merger.

that the Merger is consistent with and in furtherance of the long-term business
strategy of Summit and in the best interests of Summit and its stockholders,

stockholders of Summit approve the issuance of shares of Summit Common Stock (as

the Merger.
D. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and
inducement to OrCAD's and Summit's willingness to enter into this Agreement,
certain affiliates of OrCAD and Summit are entering into Voting Agreements in
substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B, respectively.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and
representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 THE MERGER. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and
subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into
OrCAD (the "MERGER"), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease
and OrCAD shall continue as the surviving corporation. OrCAD as the surviving

1.2 EFFECTIVE TIME; CLOSING. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a

accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the "CERTIFICATE OF
MERGER") (the time of such filing (or such later time as may be agreed in
writing by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger) being the
"EFFECTIVE TIME") as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date (as herein
defined). Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "AGREEMENT" as used
herein refers collectively to this Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and the
Certificate of Merger. The
1

Xxxxx LLP, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no

1.3 EFFECT OF THE MERGER. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger
shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware
Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at
the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises
of OrCAD and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts,
liabilities and duties of OrCAD and Merger Sub shall become the debts,
liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION; BYLAWS.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger
Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that at the Effective Time the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name
of the Surviving Corporation shall be OrCAD, Inc.
(b) The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall be, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law and such
Bylaws.
1.5 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The initial directors of the Surviving
Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the
Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed
and qualified. The initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the

respective successors are duly appointed.
1.6 EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, OrCAD or the holders of
any of the following securities:
(a) CONVERSION OF ORCAD COMMON STOCK. Each share of Common Stock,
$0.01 par value per share, of OrCAD (the "ORCAD COMMON STOCK") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (other than any shares
of OrCAD Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) will be
canceled and extinguished and automatically converted (subject to Sections
1.6(e) and (f)) into the right to receive 1.05 (the "EXCHANGE RATIO") share
of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Summit (the "SUMMIT COMMON
STOCK") upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of OrCAD
Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.7 (or in the case of a
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and
bond, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.9).
(b) CANCELLATION OF ORCAD-OWNED STOCK. Each share of OrCAD Common
Stock held by OrCAD or owned by Merger Sub, Summit or any direct or indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of OrCAD or of Summit immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion
thereof.
(c) STOCK OPTIONS; EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. At the Effective
Time: (x) all options to purchase OrCAD Common Stock then outstanding under

Stock Incentive Plan (the "1995 INCENTIVE PLAN"), OrCAD's 1995 Stock Option
Plan (the "1995 PLAN") and OrCAD's 1995 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee

and (y) rights outstanding under OrCAD's 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "ORCAD ESPP") shall be treated as set forth in Section 5.11.
2
(d) CAPITAL STOCK OF MERGER SUB. Each share of Common Stock, $0.01 par
value per share, of Merger Sub (the "MERGER SUB COMMON STOCK") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into
one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock,
$0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate
evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence
ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(e) ADJUSTMENTS TO EXCHANGE RATIO. The Exchange Ratio shall be
adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of
securities convertible into Summit Common Stock or OrCAD Common Stock),
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with
respect to Summit Common Stock or OrCAD Common Stock occurring on or after
the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
(f) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Summit Common Stock
will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of
shares of OrCAD Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction
of a share of Summit Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares
of Summit Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder)
shall receive from Summit an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole
cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction, MULTIPLIED BY (ii) the
average closing price of one share of Summit Common Stock for the ten (10)
most recent days that Summit Common Stock has traded ending on and including
the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as reported on the
Nasdaq National Market.
1.7 SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) EXCHANGE AGENT. Summit shall select an institution reasonably
acceptable to OrCAD to act as the exchange agent (the "EXCHANGE AGENT") in
the Merger.
(b) SUMMIT TO PROVIDE COMMON STOCK. Promptly after the Effective Time,
Summit shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance
with this Article I, the shares of Summit Common Stock issuable pursuant to
Section 1.6 in exchange for outstanding shares of OrCAD Common Stock, and
cash in an amount sufficient for payment in lieu of fractional shares
pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or distributions to which
holders of shares of OrCAD Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section
1.7(d).
(c) EXCHANGE PROCEDURES. Promptly after the Effective Time, Summit
shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the
Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the "CERTIFICATES"), which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of
OrCAD Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive
shares of Summit Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6, cash in lieu of any
fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other
distributions pursuant to Section 1.7(d), (i) a letter of transmittal in
customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of
the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall contain such other
provisions as Summit may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use
in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates
representing shares of Summit Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional
shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions
pursuant to Section 1.7(d). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation
to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed
by Summit, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and
validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of
such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
certificates representing the number of whole shares of Summit Common Stock
into which their shares of OrCAD Common Stock were converted at the
Effective Time, payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holders have
the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or
distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d), and the Certificates so
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so
3
surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the
Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, subject to Section 1.7(d) as to
the payment of dividends, to evidence the ownership of the number of full
shares of Summit Common Stock into which such shares of OrCAD Common Stock
may be so converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu of
the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6(f) and
any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d).
(d) DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO UNEXCHANGED SHARES. No dividends or
other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with
respect to Summit Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates with respect
to the shares of Summit Common Stock represented thereby until the holders
of record of such Certificates shall surrender such Certificates. Subject to
applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificates, the Exchange
Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest,
certificates representing whole shares of Summit Common Stock issued in
exchange therefor along with payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant
to Section 1.6(f) hereof and the amount of any such dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time payable with
respect to such whole shares of Summit Common Stock.
(e) TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP. If certificates for shares of Summit
Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the
Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a
condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates so surrendered will
be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Summit or any agent
designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the
issuance of certificates for shares of Summit Common Stock in any name other
than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or
established to the satisfaction of Summit or any agent designated by it that
such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f) NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 1.7, neither the Exchange Agent, Summit, the Surviving Corporation
nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Summit Common
Stock or OrCAD Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
law.
1.8 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN ORCAD COMMON STOCK. All shares of
Summit Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms hereof (including any
cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and 1.7(d)) shall be
deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such
shares of OrCAD Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of OrCAD Common
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If after
the Effective Time Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for
any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.9 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the event any Certificates
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Summit Common Stock
into which the shares of OrCAD Common Stock represented by such Certificates
were converted pursuant to Section 1.6, cash for fractional shares, if any, as
may be required pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or distributions
payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Summit may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates
representing Summit Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct
as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Summit, the Surviving
Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to
have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
4
1.10 TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSEQUENCES.
(a) The parties hereto intend that the Merger shall constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties
hereto adopt this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning
of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury
Regulations.
(b) The parties hereto intend that the Merger shall qualify for
accounting treatment as a pooling of interests.
1.11 TAKING OF NECESSARY ACTION; FURTHER ACTION. If, at any time after the
Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full
right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers
and franchises of OrCAD and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of OrCAD and
Merger Sub will take all such lawful and necessary action. Summit shall cause
Merger Sub to perform all of its obligations relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ORCAD
OrCAD represents and warrants to Summit and Merger Sub, subject to the
exceptions specifically disclosed in writing in the disclosure schedule and
referencing a specific representation supplied by OrCAD to Summit dated as of
the date hereof and certified by a duly authorized officer of OrCAD (the "ORCAD
SCHEDULES"), as follows:
2.1 ORGANIZATION OF ORCAD.
(a) OrCAD and each of its subsidiaries is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation; has the corporate power and authority to
own, lease and operate its assets and property and to carry on its business
as now being conducted; and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and
is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such
concept) in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned,
leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so
qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section
2.1(d)) on OrCAD.
(b) OrCAD has delivered to Summit a true and complete list of all of
OrCAD's subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, indicating the
jurisdiction of incorporation of each subsidiary and OrCAD's equity interest
therein.
(c) OrCAD has delivered or made available to Summit a true and correct
copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of OrCAD and similar
governing instruments of each of its subsidiaries, each as amended to date,
and each such instrument is in full force and effect. Neither OrCAD nor any
of its subsidiaries is in violation of any of the provisions of its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or similar governing instruments.
(d) When used in connection with OrCAD, the term "MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT" means, for purposes of this Agreement, any change, event or effect
that is materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible
assets), financial condition or results of operations of OrCAD and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole (except for those changes, events and effects
that are directly caused by (i) conditions affecting the United States
economy as a whole which do not affect OrCAD in a disproportionate manner,
(ii) conditions affecting the industry in which OrCAD competes as a whole
which do not affect OrCAD in a disproportionate manner, or (iii) delays in
customer orders resulting from announcement and pendency of the Merger).
5
2.2 ORCAD CAPITAL STRUCTURE. The authorized capital stock of OrCAD
consists of 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of
which there were 9,343,073 shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof
and 2,000,000 of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which no shares
are issued or outstanding. All outstanding shares of OrCAD Common Stock are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to
preemptive rights created by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
of OrCAD or any agreement or document to which OrCAD is a party or by which it
is bound. As of the date hereof, OrCAD had reserved an aggregate of 1,556,014
shares of OrCAD Common Stock, net of exercises, for issuance to employees,
consultants and non-employee directors pursuant to the OrCAD Stock Option Plans.
As of the date hereof, there were options outstanding to purchase an aggregate
of 1,259,852 shares of OrCAD Common Stock, issued to employees, consultants and
non-employee directors pursuant to the OrCAD Stock Option Plans. All shares of
OrCAD Common Stock subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms
and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable,
would be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The
OrCAD Schedules list for each person who held options to acquire shares of OrCAD
Common Stock as of the date hereof, the name of the holder of such option, the
exercise price of such option, the number of shares as to which such option had
vested at such date, the vesting schedule for such option and whether the
exercisability of such option will be accelerated in any way by the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and indicates the extent of acceleration, if
any.
2.3 OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CAPITAL STOCK. Except as set forth in
Section 2.2 or the OrCAD Schedules, there are no equity securities, partnership
interests or similar ownership interests of any class of OrCAD, or any
securities exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such equity
securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests, issued,
reserved for issuance or outstanding. Except for securities OrCAD owns, directly
or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, as of the date of this
Agreement, there are no equity securities, partnership interests or similar
ownership interests of any class of any subsidiary of OrCAD, or any security
exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such equity securities,
partnership interests or similar ownership interests, issued, reserved for
issuance or outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.2 or the OrCAD
Schedules, there are no options, warrants, equity securities, partnership
interests or similar ownership interests, calls, rights (including preemptive
rights), commitments or agreements of any character to which OrCAD or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound obligating OrCAD or any of its
subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or
sold, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or cause the repurchase,
redemption or acquisition of, any shares of capital stock, partnership interests
or similar ownership interests of OrCAD or any of its subsidiaries or obligating
OrCAD or any of its subsidiaries to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of or
enter into any such option, warrant, equity security, call, right, commitment or
agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, except as contemplated by this
Agreement, there are no registration rights and there are no voting trusts,
proxies or other agreements or understandings to which OrCAD is a party or by
which it is bound with respect to any equity security of any class of OrCAD or
with respect to any equity security, partnership interest or similar ownership
interest of any class of any of its subsidiaries. With respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, stockholders of OrCAD are not
entitled to appraisal rights under applicable state law.
2.4 AUTHORITY.
(a) OrCAD has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of OrCAD, subject only to the approval and
adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by OrCAD's
stockholders and the filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to
Delaware Law. A vote of the holders of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of
the outstanding shares of the OrCAD Common Stock is required for OrCAD's
stockholders to approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger.
This Agreement has been duly executed and
6
delivered by OrCAD and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery by Summit and, if applicable, Merger Sub, constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of OrCAD, enforceable against OrCAD in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy and other
similar laws and general principles of equity. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement does not, and the performance of this Agreement will not, (i)
conflict with or violate the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of OrCAD
or the equivalent organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii)
subject to obtaining the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the
approval of the Merger by OrCAD's stockholders as contemplated in Section
5.2 and compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.4(b),
conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree applicable to OrCAD or any of its subsidiaries or by which OrCAD or
any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties is bound or
affected, or (iii) result in any material breach of or constitute a material
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a material default) under, or impair OrCAD's rights or alter the rights or
obligations of any third party under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the

own, lease and operate its assets and property and to carry on its business
as now being
18
conducted; and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good
standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) in
each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or
operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not
have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 3.1(d)) on Summit.
(b) Summit has delivered to OrCAD a true and complete list of all of
Summit's subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, indicating the
jurisdiction of incorporation of each subsidiary and Summit's equity

of its subsidiaries is in violation of any of the provisions of its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or similar governing instruments.
(d) When used in connection with Summit, the term "MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT" means, for purposes of this Agreement, any change, event or effect

connection with any OrCAD Acquisition Proposal with respect to OrCAD. For
the purposes of this Agreement, an "ORCAD ACQUISITION PROPOSAL" means any
proposal or offer for: (i) any merger, consolidation, sale of substantial
assets or similar transactions involving OrCAD or any of its subsidiaries
(other than sales of assets or inventory in the ordinary course of business
or as permitted under the terms of this Agreement), (ii) sale by OrCAD of
any shares of capital stock of OrCAD except as may be permitted pursuant to
Article 4, (iii) without limiting clause (ii) above, the acquisition by any
person (including without limitation by way of a tender offer or an exchange
offer) of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership
of, or the formation of any "group" (as defined under Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) which beneficially
owns, or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 15% or more of
the then outstanding shares of capital stock of OrCAD; or (iv) any public
announcement of a proposal, plan or intention to do any of the foregoing or

subsidiaries will not, and will instruct their respective directors,
officers, employees, representatives, investment bankers, agents and

Agreement shall prohibit the OrCAD Board from taking and disclosing to
OrCAD's stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer pursuant to
Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or otherwise
complying with the requirements and prohibitions of such rules.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(a)
or elsewhere in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, OrCAD may, to

duties under applicable law require it to do so, participate in discussions
or negotiations with, and, subject to the requirements of Section 5.4(c),
furnish information to any person, entity or group after such person, entity
or group has delivered to OrCAD in writing, an unsolicited bona fide
35
OrCAD Acquisition Proposal that the OrCAD Board determines, in its good
faith reasonable judgment after consultation with its independent financial
advisors: (x) would result in a transaction more favorable than the Merger
to the stockholders of OrCAD from a financial point of view, (y) for which
financing, to the extent required, is committed and (z) is likely to be
consummated (a "ORCAD SUPERIOR PROPOSAL"). In addition, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5.4(a) or any other provisions of this Agreement, in
connection with a possible OrCAD Acquisition Proposal, OrCAD may refer any
third party to this Section 5.4 or make a copy of this Section 5.4 available
to a third party. In the event OrCAD receives an OrCAD Superior Proposal,
nothing contained in this Agreement (but subject to the terms of this
Section 5.4(b)) will prevent the OrCAD Board from recommending such OrCAD
Superior Proposal to its stockholders, if the OrCAD Board determines, in
good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action
is required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; in
such case, the OrCAD Board may (in accordance with Section 5.1(b)) withdraw,
modify or refrain from making its recommendation set forth in Section
5.1(b), and, to the extent it does so, OrCAD may refrain from soliciting
proxies to secure the vote of its stockholders as may otherwise be required

reasonably expected to contemplate an OrCAD Superior Proposal and (ii) not
recommend to its stockholders an OrCAD Superior Proposal for a period of not
less than 48 hours after Summit receives a copy of such OrCAD Superior

OrCAD's obligation to hold and convene the OrCAD Stockholders' Meeting
(regardless of whether the recommendation of the OrCAD Board shall have been
withdrawn, modified or not yet made) or to provide the OrCAD stockholders
with material information relating to such meeting.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, OrCAD
will not provide any non-public information to a third party unless: (i)
OrCAD provides such non-public information pursuant to a nondisclosure
agreement with terms regarding the protection of confidential information at
least as restrictive as such terms in the Non-Disclosure Agreement; and (ii)
such non-public information has been previously delivered to Summit.
5.5 NO SOLICITATION BY SUMMIT.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the
Effective Time or termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms,
Summit and its subsidiaries will not, and will instruct their respective
directors, officers, employees, representatives, investment bankers, agents
and affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or knowingly
encourage submission of any Summit Acquisition Proposal (as defined below)
by any person, entity or group, or (ii) participate in any discussions or

thereunder) which beneficially owns, or has the right to acquire beneficial
ownership of, 15% or more of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of
Summit; or (iv) any public announcement of a proposal, plan or intention to
do any of the foregoing or any agreement to engage in any of the foregoing.
Summit will

immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or

it receives any Summit Acquisition Proposal or written inquiry or any
written request for information or access in connection with a potential
Summit Acquisition Proposal and (ii) as promptly as practicable notify OrCAD
of the significant terms and conditions of any such Summit Acquisition
Proposal. In addition, subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.5,
from and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective
Time and termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, Summit and its
subsidiaries will not, and will instruct their respective directors,

or elsewhere in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, Summit may, to
the extent the Summit Board determines, in good faith, after consultation
with outside legal counsel, that compliance with the Summit Board's
fiduciary duties under applicable law require it to do so, participate in

Section 5.5(c), below, furnish information to any person, entity or group
after such person, entity or group has delivered to Summit in writing, an
unsolicited bona fide Summit Acquisition Proposal that the Summit Board
determines, in its good faith reasonable judgment after consultation with
its independent financial advisors: (x) would result in a transaction more
favorable than the Merger to the stockholders of Summit from a financial
point of view, (y) for which financing, to the extent required, is committed
and (z) is likely to be consummated (a "SUMMIT SUPERIOR PROPOSAL"). In
addition, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5(a) above or any
other provisions of this Agreement, in connection with a possible Summit
Acquisition Proposal, Summit may refer any third party to this Section 5.5
or make a copy of this Section 5.5 available to a third party. In the event
Summit receives a Summit Superior Proposal, nothing contained in this
Agreement (but subject to the terms of this paragraph (b)) will prevent the
Summit Board from recommending such Summit Superior Proposal to its
stockholders, if the Summit Board determines, in good faith, after
consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action is required to
comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; in such case, the
Summit Board may (in accordance with Section 5.1(b)) withdraw, modify or
refrain from making its recommendation set forth in Section 5.1(b), and, to
the extent it does so, Summit may refrain from soliciting proxies to secure
the vote of its stockholders as may otherwise be required by Section 5.2;

obligation to hold and convene the Summit Stockholders' Meeting (regardless
of whether the recommendation of the Summit Board shall have been withdrawn,
modified or not yet made) or to provide the Summit stockholders with
material information relating to such meeting.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5, Summit
will not provide any non-public information to a third party unless: (i)
Summit provides such non-public information pursuant to a nondisclosure
agreement with terms regarding the protection of confidential information at
least as restrictive as such terms in the Non-Disclosure Agreement; and (ii)
such non-public information has been previously delivered to OrCAD.
37
5.6 PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. Summit and OrCAD will consult with each other, and
to the extent practicable, agree, before issuing any press release or otherwise
making any public statement with respect to the Merger, this Agreement, an OrCAD
Acquisition Proposal or a Summit Acquisition Proposal, and will not issue any
such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation,

respect at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time such
that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.3(a), as the case may be,

5.11 STOCK OPTIONS.
(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of
OrCAD Common Stock (each a "ORCAD STOCK OPTION") under the OrCAD Stock
Option Plans, whether or not exercisable, will be assumed by Summit. Each
OrCAD Stock Option so assumed by Summit under this Agreement will continue
to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting
conditions) set forth in the applicable OrCAD Stock Option Plan immediately
prior to the Effective Time and the Stock Option by which it is evidenced,
except that (i) each OrCAD Stock Option will be exercisable (or will become
exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of
Summit Common Stock equal to the product of the maximum number of shares of
OrCAD Common Stock that could be issuable upon exercise of such OrCAD Stock
Option if all vesting conditions are satisfied multiplied by the Exchange
Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share of Summit Common Stock and (ii)
the per share exercise price for the Summit Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of such assumed OrCAD Stock Option will be equal to the quotient
determined by dividing the exercise price per share of OrCAD Common Stock at
which such OrCAD Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the
Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole cent.
After the Effective Time, Summit will issue to each holder of an outstanding
OrCAD Stock Option a notice describing the foregoing assumption of such
OrCAD Stock Option by Summit. It is intended that OrCAD Stock Options
assumed by Summit shall qualify following the Effective Time as incentive
stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent OrCAD
Stock Options qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the
Effective Time and the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall be applied
consistent with such intent.
(b) Summit will reserve sufficient shares of Summit Common Stock for
issuance under Section 5.11 and under Section 1.6(c) hereof.
(c) OrCAD shall take such actions as are necessary to shorten the
Offering Period (as such term is used in the OrCAD ESPP) then in progress by
setting up a new Purchase Date (as such term is used in OrCAD ESPP) to be
the last trading day on which the shares of OrCAD Common Stock are quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market immediately prior to the Effective Time (the
"Final OrCAD Purchase Date"); provided, that, such change in the Purchase
Date shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. On the Final
OrCAD Purchase Date, OrCAD shall apply the funds credited as of such date
under the OrCAD ESPP within each participant's payroll withholdings account
to the purchase of whole shares of OrCAD Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of the OrCAD ESPP. The cost to each participant in the OrCAD ESPP for
a share of OrCAD Common Stock shall be the lower of 85% of the closing sale
price of OrCAD Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on (i) the first
day of the then current Offering Period or (ii) the Final OrCAD Purchase
Date.
(d) Employees of OrCAD as of the Effective Time shall be permitted to
participate in Summit's Employee Stock Purchase Plan commencing on the first
enrollment date following the Effective Time, subject to compliance with the
eligibility provisions of such plan.
5.12 FORM S-8. Summit will file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 for
the shares of Summit Common Stock issuable with respect to assumed OrCAD Stock
Options as soon as reasonably practical after the Effective Time (not to exceed
five business days) and will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness of such registration statement thereafter for so long as any of
such options remain outstanding.
5.13 NASDAQ LISTING. Summit agrees to authorize for listing on the Nasdaq
National Market System the shares of Summit Common Stock issuable, and those
required to be reserved for issuance, in connection with the Merger, upon
official notice of issuance.

of those persons who may be deemed to be, in OrCAD's reasonable judgment,
affiliates of OrCAD within the meaning of Rule 145 promulgated under the

with such information and documents as Summit reasonably requests for purposes
of reviewing such list. OrCAD will use its reasonable best efforts to deliver or
cause to be delivered to Summit, as promptly as practicable on or following the
date hereof, from each OrCAD Rule 145 Affiliate an executed affiliate agreement
in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C (the "ORCAD AFFILIATE
AGREEMENT"), each of which will be in full force and effect as of the Effective
Time. Summit will be entitled to place appropriate legends on the shares of

transfer agent for the Summit Common Stock, consistent with the terms of the
OrCAD Affiliate Agreement.
5.15 SUMMIT AFFILIATE AGREEMENT. Set forth on the Summit Schedules is a

best efforts to cause KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, certified public accountants to
OrCAD, to provide a letter reasonably acceptable to Summit, relating to their
review of the financial statements relating to OrCAD contained in or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. If Summit makes such a
request, then Summit shall use reasonable best efforts to cause
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, certified public accountants to Summit, to provide a
letter reasonably acceptable to OrCAD, relating to their review of the financial
statements relating to Summit contained in or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
5.17 POOLING. Prior to the earlier of termination of this Agreement and
the Effective Time, neither OrCAD nor Summit will take any action that could
interfere with Summit's ability to account for the Merger as a pooling of
interests.
5.18 CONTINUE NASDAQ QUOTATION. OrCAD shall continue the quotation of
OrCAD Common Stock and Summit shall continue the quotation of Summit Common
Stock on The Nasdaq National Market to the extent necessary so that appraisal
rights will not be available to stockholders of OrCAD under Delaware Law.

necessary corporate action to terminate, or cause its subsidiaries to terminate,
as the case may be, all 401(k) plans maintained by OrCAD or any of its

ORCAD AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
September ____, 1998
Summit Design, Inc.
0000 X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger
Agreement"), dated as of September ___, 1998, by and among Summit Design, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Summit"), Hood Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit ("Merger Sub"), and OrCad,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OrCad"), which provides for the merger (the
"Merger") of Merger Sub with and into OrCad. Pursuant to the Merger, shares of
the Common Stock of OrCad ("OrCad Common Stock") will be converted into shares
of Common Stock of Summit ("Summit Common Stock") on the basis described in the
Merger Agreement.
The undersigned has been informed that the Merger constitutes a transaction
covered by Rule 145 ("Rule 145") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"); that the undersigned may be deemed to be an
"affiliate" of OrCad within the meaning of Rule 145; that the Merger is intended
to be a "pooling of interests" for financial accounting purposes; and that,
accordingly, the Summit Common Stock that the undersigned will acquire in
connection with the Merger may be disposed of only in conformity with the
provisions of Rule 145 and the other limitations described herein.
The undersigned understands that the Merger will not be accounted for as a
pooling of interests unless, among other things, affiliates of OrCad comply with
the requirements of Section 1(d) below. The undersigned further understands
that the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein will be
relied upon by the accountants and counsel for Summit and for OrCad in rendering
opinions regarding accounting and other legal consequences of the Merger.
The capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Merger Agreement.
1. In consideration of the benefits accruing to the undersigned as a
result of the Merger, the undersigned represents, warrants and agrees as
follows:
(a) The undersigned has full power to execute this Affiliate
Agreement and to make the representations, warranties and agreements herein and
to perform the undersigned's obligations hereunder.
(b) Appendix A attached hereto sets forth all the Summit Common Stock
owned or to be received by the undersigned in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, if any, including all other equity
securities of OrCad, or rights to acquire any of the foregoing, as to which the
undersigned has sole or shared voting or investment power.
(c) The undersigned will not sell, transfer or dispose of any Summit
Common Stock or other equity securities of Summit that the undersigned may
acquire in connection with the Merger, or any securities that may be paid as a
dividend or otherwise distributed thereon or with respect thereto or issued or
delivered in exchange or substitution therefor (all such shares and other
securities being herein sometimes collectively referred to as "Restricted
Securities"), or any option, right or other interest with respect to any
Restricted Securities, unless such sale, transfer or disposition is effected as
provided in Section 3 hereof (provided that the undersigned may make bona fide
gifts of Restricted Securities without consideration so long as the recipients
thereof agree not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
Restricted Securities except as provided herein).
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Affiliate Agreement to the
contrary, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 65 ("SAB 65"),
during the period contemplated by SAB 65, until the earlier of (i) Summit's
public announcement of financial results covering at least 30 days of combined
operations of Summit and OrCad or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated in
accordance with its terms, the undersigned will not sell, exchange, transfer,
pledge, distribute or otherwise dispose of (collectively a "Transfer") or grant
any option, establish any "short" or put-equivalent position with respect to or
enter into any similar transaction (through derivatives or otherwise) intended
or having the effect, directly or indirectly, to reduce its risk relative to:
(i) any shares of OrCad Common Stock, except pursuant to and upon the
consummation of the Merger or (ii) any Summit Common Stock received by the
undersigned in the Merger or any Summit Common Stock received by the undersigned
upon exercise of options assumed by Summit in connection with the Merger.
2. Summit agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) file all
reports and data with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
necessary to permit the undersigned to sell Restricted Securities pursuant to
and otherwise in conformity with Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act and
(ii) publish as soon as reasonably practicable and file on a timely basis,
consistent with its normal practices, the financial results referred to in
Section 1(d) above with the SEC under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The undersigned understands that Summit is under no
obligation to register the sale, transfer, or other disposition of any
Restricted Securities by or on behalf of the undersigned or to take any other
action necessary in order to make compliance with an exception from registration
available, other than as set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement.
-2-
3. The undersigned understands that the provisions of Rule 145 restrict
the undersigned's public resales of Restricted Securities until such time as the
undersigned has "beneficially owned" (within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under
the Securities Act) the Restricted Securities for a period of at least one year
(or in some cases two years) and thereafter if and for so long as the
undersigned is an affiliate of Summit. The undersigned may make unrestricted
resales of Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 145(d)(2) if the undersigned
has beneficially owned the Restricted Securities for at least one year and is
not an affiliate of Summit and Summit meets the public information requirements
of Rule 144(c). The undersigned may make unrestricted resales of Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 145(d)(3) if the undersigned has beneficially owned
the Restricted Securities for at least two years and is not, and has not been
for at least three months, an affiliate of Summit. Unless and until the
restriction "cut-off" provisions of Rule 145(d)(2) or Rule 145(d)(3) become
available, public resales of Restricted Securities may only be made by the
undersigned in compliance with the requirements of Rule 145(d)(1).
Rule 145(d)(1) permits public resales of Restricted Securities only (A)
while Summit meets the public information requirements of Rule 144(c), and (B)
in "broker's transactions" in accordance with Rules 144(c), (f) and (g) where
the aggregate number of Restricted Securities sold at any time together with all
sales of restricted Summit Common Stock sold for the undersigned's account
during the preceding three-month period does not exceed the greater of (i) one
percent of the Summit Common Stock outstanding or (ii) the average weekly
trading volume in Summit Common Stock on all national securities exchanges
and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered
securities association, during the four calendar week period preceding any such
sale (the "Volume Limitations"). Summit acknowledges that the provisions of
Section 1(c) of this Affiliate Agreement will be satisfied, as to any sale by
the undersigned of Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 145(d) under the
Securities Act, by a broker's letter with respect to that sale stating that each
of the above-described requirements of Rule 145(d)(1) has been met or is
inapplicable by virtue of Rule 145(d)(2) or Rule 145(d)(3); provided, however,
that if counsel for Summit reasonably believes that the provisions of
Rule 145(d) have not been complied with, or if requested by Summit in connection
with a proposed disposition other than pursuant to a registered offering, the
undersigned shall furnish to Summit a copy of a "no action" letter or other
communication from the staff of the SEC, or an opinion of counsel in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Summit and its counsel, to the effect that
all of the applicable requirements of Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act have
been complied with or that the disposition may be otherwise effected in the
manner requested in compliance with the Securities Act.
4. The undersigned also understands restrictive legends referencing the
restrictions described in Section 3 hereof shall be printed on the share
certificates with respect to the Summit Common Stock received by the undersigned
in the Merger.
-3-
5. This Affiliate Agreement and all action taken hereunder in accordance
with its terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Summit, its
subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns and the undersigned and
his, her or its respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators
and legal representatives.
6. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder

SUMMIT DESIGN AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
September ____, 1998
Summit Design, Inc.
0000 X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger
Agreement"), dated as of September ____, 1998, by and among Summit Design, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Summit"), Hood Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit ("Merger Sub"), and OrCad,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OrCad"), which provides for the merger (the
"Merger") of Merger Sub with and into OrCad. Pursuant to the Merger, shares of
the Common Stock of OrCad ("OrCad Common Stock") will be converted into shares
of Common Stock of Summit ("Summit Common Stock") on the basis described in the
Merger Agreement.
The undersigned has been informed that the Merger is intended to be a
"pooling of interests" for financial accounting purposes and that, accordingly,
the Summit Common Stock that the undersigned owns may be disposed of only in
conformity with the other limitations described herein.
The undersigned understands that the Merger will not be accounted for as a
pooling of interests unless, among other things, affiliates of Summit comply
with the requirements of Section 1(c) below. The undersigned further
understands that the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein
will be relied upon by the accountants and counsel for Summit and for OrCad in
rendering opinions regarding accounting and other legal consequences of the
Merger.
The capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Merger Agreement.
1. In consideration of the benefits accruing to the undersigned as a
result of the Merger, the undersigned represents, warrants and agrees as
follows:
(a) The undersigned has full power to execute this Affiliate
Agreement and to make the representations, warranties and agreements herein and
to perform the undersigned's obligations hereunder.
(b) Appendix A attached hereto sets forth all the Summit Common Stock
owned by the undersigned, including all other equity securities of Summit, or
rights to acquire any of equity securities of Summit, as to which the
undersigned has sole or shared voting or investment power.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Affiliate Agreement to the
contrary, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 65 ("SAB 65"),
during the period contemplated by SAB 65, until the earlier of (i) Summit's
public announcement of financial results covering at least 30 days of combined
operations of Summit and OrCad or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated in
accordance with its terms, the undersigned will not sell, exchange, transfer,
pledge, distribute or otherwise dispose of (collectively a "Transfer") or grant
any option, establish any "short" or put-equivalent position with respect to or
enter into any similar transaction (through derivatives or otherwise) intended
or having the effect, directly or indirectly, to reduce its risk relative to any
shares of Summit Common Stock or any other equity securities of Summit that the
undersigned may acquire, or any securities that may be paid as a dividend or
otherwise distributed thereon or with respect thereto or issued or delivered in
exchange or substitution therefor (all such shares and other securities being
herein sometimes collectively referred to as "Restricted Securities").
2. Summit agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to publish as soon as
reasonably practicable and file on a timely basis, consistent with its normal
practices, the financial results referred to in Section 1(c) above with the SEC
under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
3. This Affiliate Agreement and all action taken hereunder in accordance
with its terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Summit, its
subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns and the undersigned and
his, her or its respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators
and legal representatives and any pledgee holding Restricted Securities as
collateral.
4. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or delivered by overnight
courier, freight prepaid, or sent via facsimile (with acknowledgment of complete
transmission) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other
