pursuant to Section 2.3 ("Rights Reserved"), Cadence hereby appoints CKK as the
exclusive distributor of the Products to End Users and approved Distributors in

accepts such appointment. In connection with such appointment, and subject to
the terms of this Agreement, Cadence hereby grants CKK a non-transferable
(except as set forth in Section 17 ("Assignment"), exclusive right (i) to
distribute and sell the Products that CKK obtains from Cadence hereunder solely
to End Users located in the Territory, provided that all such End Users are made

shall only be entitled to grant marketing or distribution rights to Distributors
approved by Cadence which enter into an agreement with CKK which imposes on such
Distributors substantially the same obligations imposed on CKK by this entire

the rights granted to CKK pursuant to Section 2.1 ("Appointment") are subject to
any and all Third Party Rights existing as of the Effective Date and listed in
Exhibit F ("Third Party Rights") to this agreement. Cadence agrees that as any
Third Party Right expires during the period in which this Agreement is
exclusive, it will not renew or otherwise extend such Third Party Right, subject
to any contractual or other legal restriction on Cadence's ability to do so.
2.3 RIGHTS RESERVED. All rights not specifically granted to CKK hereunder
are reserved to Cadence. Without limitation and notwithstanding any other

Distributors to, promptly notify Cadence (i) of any claims or objections that
its use of the Products or any of the Intellectual Property Rights in
connection with the marketing, distributing, support or service of the
Products may or will infringe the copyrights, patents, trademarks or other
proprietary rights of another Person; and (ii) of any and all infringements,
imitations, illegal use, or misuse, by any Person, of the Products or of any
Intellectual Property Rights which come to its attention; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that CKK will not, and CKK shall require its Distributors to agree that they
will not, take any legal action relating to the protection of any
Intellectual Property Rights without the prior written approval of Cadence,
and CKK and its Distributors shall render Cadence all reasonable assistance
in connection with any matter pertaining to the protection of the
Intellectual Property Rights, whether in the courts, administrative agencies,
or otherwise.
11. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES.
11.1 AUTHORIZATION TO USE. In the marketing, advertising for, and
distribution and support of the Products in the Territory, CKK may, and CKK may
grant its Distributors the right to, (i) indicate to the public that it is an
authorized distributor of Products, and (ii) use the trade names and trademarks
of Cadence and its suppliers, as set forth on Exhibit D ("Trademarks and Trade
Names"), which Exhibit Cadence may, in its sole discretion, revise from time to
time (the "Trademarks"). For this purpose, Cadence grants CKK a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, limited license to use and display the Trademarks, in the forms as
may be prescribed by Cadence from time to time, and sublicense its Distributors
to do the same. CKK shall, and CKK shall require its Distributors to, market,
distribute, and support the Products only under the Trademarks, and not under
any other trademark or logo. CKK will not, and CKK will require each of its
15.
Distributors to agree that it will not, make or permit alteration of the
Products or removal or modification of any tags, proprietary notices, labels,
or other identifying marks placed by Cadence or its suppliers on the Products
or associated literature.
11.2 OWNERSHIP OF TRADEMARKS. CKK acknowledges and agrees, and CKK
will require its Distributors to acknowledge and agree, that (a) Cadence and
its Affiliates are the exclusive owners of the Trademarks; (b) the use of the
Trademarks by CKK or its Distributors does not convey to CKK or such
Distributors any right, title or interest in or to the Trademarks; (c) CKK or
such Distributor may not contest the Trademarks, or register or attempt to
register in any jurisdiction any Trademark or any confusingly similar
trademark or trade name; (d) CKK or such Distributor agrees not to use the
Trademarks with respect to any products or materials not provided by Cadence,
or in any way which might result in confusion as to Cadence, CKK, SKK or any
third party being separate and distinct entities.
11.3 APPROVALS. All public announcements or advertisements by CKK
or its Distributors indicating that it is an authorized distributor of the
Products, and any other representations of the Trademarks that CKK or its
Distributors intends to use, shall first be submitted to Cadence for written
approval. In connection therewith, CKK agrees that it shall, and that it
shall require its Distributors to, modify to Cadence's sole satisfaction the
use of any Trademark to which Cadence, in its sole discretion, may object.
CKK shall not, and CKK shall require each of its Distributors to agree that
it shall not, do or suffer to be done any act or thing that would impair
Cadence's or its suppliers' rights in its Trademarks or damage the reputation
for quality inherent in the Trademarks. Cadence and its suppliers reserve
the right to take all action which they deem necessary to ensure that the
advertising and promotional materials related to the Products utilized by CKK
or its Distributors are consistent with the reputation and prestige of the
Trademarks.
11.4 INFRINGING PRODUCTS. In order to assure proper use and
protection of the Trademarks, CKK agrees, and it shall require each of its
Distributors to agree, to provide written notification to Cadence if CKK or
such Distributor purchases, or receives an offer to purchase, any products
with a Trademark from a source other than Cadence.
12. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
12.1 ACCESS AND USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the course
of performance of this Agreement, each party will disclose (the "Disclosing
Party') certain Confidential Information to the other party (the "Receiving
Party") solely to permit the Receiving Party to perform its obligations under
this Agreement. Each Receiving Party agrees that such Confidential
Information shall be kept secret by the Receiving Party during the term of
this Agreement and for five (5) years after the expiration hereof. The
Receiving Party shall refrain from using or exploiting any and all
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purposes or
activities other than those contemplated in this Agreement.
12.2 AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The
Receiving Party shall not disclose or facilitate disclosure of such
Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of
the Disclosing Party, except, in the case of CKK, to its Distributors,
Representatives or End Users, and then only to the extent necessary for the
performance of the activities contemplated by this Agreement or the End User
Agreements, respectively. CKK shall cause each of its Distributors,
Representatives or End Users with access to the Confidential
16.
Information of Cadence to enter into a nondisclosure agreement in a form
approved by Cadence in writing. The Receiving Party shall use the highest
standard of care currently employed by any distributor or end user of high
technology products in order to avoid disclosure or misappropriation of the
Confidential Information.
12.3 OWNERSHIP AND RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. All files,
lists, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment and computer
programs which incorporate or refer to all or a portion of the Confidential
Information of Cadence shall remain the sole property of Cadence or its
suppliers. Such materials shall be promptly returned (i) upon Cadence's
reasonable request, or (ii) in accordance with Section 21.3 ("Return of
Materials") of this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, whichever
is earlier. In addition, the parties agree that the End User information
supplied pursuant to Section 7.3 is the Confidential Information of Cadence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that any End User
information retained in the memory of CKK employees, but not reduced to
writing or other tangible form by such employees after return of Cadence's
Confidential Information as required by this section, may be used by CKK, but
not disclosed to any third party, subsequent to the termination of this
Agreement, even if such End user information was in written or other tangible
form prior to its return to Cadence.
12.4 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. CKK understands and agrees that the
Confidential Information constitutes valuable business assets of Cadence and
its suppliers, the unauthorized use or disclosure of which may irreparably
damage Cadence and/or its suppliers. In the event of breach of confidence or
threatened breach of CKK's confidentiality obligations pursuant to this
section, Cadence and/or its suppliers shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining CKK from violating such obligations under this section. Nothing
in this section shall be construed as prohibiting Cadence and/or its
suppliers from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach
or threatened breach by CKK.
12.5 EXCEPTIONS. The provisions of this section shall not apply, or
cease to apply, to data and information supplied by Cadence or its suppliers
if such data or information (i) was already known to CKK; (ii) came into the
public domain without breach of confidence by CKK or any other Person; (iii)
was received by CKK from a third party without restrictions on their use in
favor of Cadence or its suppliers; or (iv) is required to be disclosed
pursuant to any statutory or regulatory provision or court order; provided
that CKK shall have the burden of establishing any of the foregoing
exceptions by conclusive evidence.
13. PRODUCTS PROVIDED "AS-IS".
13.1 END USER WARRANTY. Should a Product fail to perform as
warranted within the warranty period extended to End Users in the End User
Agreement, Cadence will replace the defective Product, at its sole cost and
expense, when it is returned to CKK or such Distributor by the applicable End
User during the relevant warranty period. Proof of date of delivery of the
returned product is required. If Cadence is unable to replace the defective
Product, CKK will refund the purchase price of the Product to the End User.
In the event CKK refunds to an End User the purchase price of any Product
under warranty, Cadence agrees to credit CKK the amount paid by CKK to
Cadence for such Product, provided that CKK returns the defective Product to
Cadence with documentation sufficient to establish that the Product was
defective during the warranty period and that such defect was covered by the
warranty. The warranty extended to End Users will not apply if the Product
fails or is damaged after delivery to the End
17.
User due to accident, abuse or misuse, or if the Product has been used or
maintained in a manner not conforming to Product manual instructions, has
been modified in any way, or has had any serial number removed or defaced.
Repair by anyone other than Cadence or its Affiliates, CKK or its
Distributors will void the End User warranty. CKK may exchange a defective
Product with a replacement Product from CKK's inventory. In such event,
Cadence will promptly restock CKK's inventory with a replacement unit of the
Product.
13.2 NO WARRANTIES. CADENCE AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT THE
OUTPUT OF THE PRODUCTS TO MEET THE TECHNICAL DESIGN OR OTHER STANDARDS OR
REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY BE APPLICABLE TO ANY PERSON'S BUSINESS. CADENCE AND
ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT MAKE OR GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT
TO THE USEFULNESS OR THE EFFICACY OF THE PRODUCTS, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT
THE DEGREE OF SUCCESS WITH WHICH EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE PROGRAMS AND MATERIALS
CAN BE APPLIED TO ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION IS DEPENDENT UPON MANY
FACTORS, MANY OF WHICH ARE NOT UNDER CADENCE'S OR ITS SUPPLIERS' CONTROL.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 13.1, THE PRODUCTS ARE DELIVERED TO CKK "AS-IS"
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 13.1, ALL
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR IMPOSED BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, IN RESPECT
OF THE PRODUCTS AND ANY RELATED SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES AS TO
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR CORRESPONDENCE WITH
DESCRIPTION, AND NONINFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.
14. LIMITATION ON DAMAGES.
14.1 IN NO EVENT WILL CADENCE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EVEN IF, CADENCE OR
ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
CADENCE'S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES SHALL
NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY CADENCE FROM CKK FOR THE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE THE BASIS OF CADENCE'S AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS' LIABILITY.
14.2 IN NO EVENT WILL CKK OR ITS DISTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EVEN IF CKK OR ITS
DISTRIBUTORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CKK'S AND
ITS DISTRIBUTORS' AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED
THE AGGREGATE PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY CADENCE FROM CKK FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE
THE BASIS OF CKK'S AND/OR ITS DISTRIBUTORS' LIABILITY.
15. INDEMNIFICATION.
15.1 CKK INDEMNIFICATION OF CADENCE AND ITS AFFILIATES. CKK agrees
to indemnify and hold Cadence and its Affiliates harmless from and against
any and all claims, suits, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, costs
and expenses (inclusive of Cadence's and its Affiliates' reasonable
attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Liabilities") made against or incurred by
Cadence and its Affiliates as a result of any breach of this agreement by
CKK, or breach of any
18.
duty, warranty or obligation hereunder, or resulting from any claim by reason
of any act on the part of CKK and its Representatives that is outside the
scope of this Agreement. CKK shall be solely responsible for, and shall
indemnify and hold Cadence and its Affiliates harmless from and against, any
and all Liabilities based upon warranties or representations made by CKK and
its Representatives which differ from the warranty approved by Cadence in the
End User Agreement and differ from any representations of Cadence made in
Cadence's documentation for the Products.
15.2 CADENCE INDEMNIFICATION OF CKK. Cadence agrees to indemnify
and hold CKK and Distributors harmless against any and all Liabilities
resulting from any breach by Cadence of this Agreement or breach of any duty,
warranty or obligation hereunder, or resulting from any claim that may be
made by reason of any act or omission of Cadence and its Representatives;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Liabilities arising from the infringement or
alleged infringement of any proprietary rights of another Person shall not be
covered by this indemnity unless such Liabilities arise from the infringement
or alleged infringement of any United States registered copyright or patent
(hereinafter collectively "Third Party Proprietary Rights") by the current
and unmodified versions of the Products, in which case Cadence also agrees to
indemnify End Users under the terms of the End User Agreement. If any claim
is made or any proceeding is instituted against CKK and/or End Users to which
the indemnity set forth in this section applies, CKK shall notify Cadence
thereof, and Cadence, at its expense, shall respond to such claim and shall
conduct such proceedings on behalf of CKK and/or End Users under the terms of
the End User Agreement. CKK agrees that it will fully cooperate, and use
its reasonable efforts to cause all End Users to cooperate, with Cadence to
resolve any such claims.
15.3 REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT. Should the use of the current and
unmodified versions of the Products furnished by Cadence to CKK hereunder be
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to infringe any Third Party
Proprietary Rights, and should CKK's and/or the End Users' use of the Products
be enjoined, then Cadence shall in a reasonable time either:
(a) obtain for CKK and/or End Users the right to use the Products;
(b) modify the Products so that their use no longer infringes any
Third Party Proprietary Rights; or
(c) replace the Products with programs that do not infringe any Third
Party Proprietary Rights.
(d) Should Cadence fail to or be unable to take one of the steps
set forth in subsections (a) through (c) above, then Cadence shall request
CKK to return the Products and upon their return, refund the price paid by
CKK for the Products, less a reasonable charge for the time during which CKK
and/or End Users had use of the Products. Cadence shall make this refund
over a period of time to be determined by good faith negotiations but not to
exceed ninety (90) days following return of the Products. Notwithstanding
the limitation of liability provided in Section 14, and notwithstanding the
proviso in the first sentence of Section 15.2 which provides that liabilities
arising from intellectual property infringement shall not be covered by the
indemnity set forth in Section 15.2 unless such liability arises from the
infringement or alleged infringement of any United States registered
copyright or patent ("Patent Liabilities"), if CKK is subject to a claim from
a third party which claim alleges damages in excess of the limitations of
Section 14 or alleges liability for intellectual property infringement other
than the
19.
Patent Liabilities set forth above, the parties will discuss in good faith
joint strategies for the defense of such claim and the sharing of liabilities
notwithstanding such limitations or proviso. CKK agrees that the foregoing
shall be CKK's sole and exclusive remedies in the event any Product is
determined to infringe any Third Party Proprietary Right.
16. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS.
16.1 EXPORT CONTROL. In the performance of their respective
obligations under this Agreement, Cadence and CKK shall, at all times,
strictly comply with all applicable laws, regulations and orders of the
United States, Ireland, and the Territory. Without limiting the generality
of this section, CKK specifically acknowledges that the Products and the
Confidential Information supplied to CKK in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement are subject to the United States export controls, pursuant to the
Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 368-399, and CKK agrees,
and shall cause each Distributor and End User to agree, that it shall not
export or reexport the Products, the Confidential Information or any direct
product thereof, directly or indirectly to, or for use in, any country
outside the Territory without the prior written authorization of Cadence and
the United States government.
16.2 AUTHORIZATION. CKK shall, at its own expense, make, obtain,
and maintain in force at all times during the term of this Agreement, all
reports, licenses, permits and authorizations (collectively,
"Authorizations") required under applicable law, regulation or order in the
Territory in order for CKK to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Cadence shall provide CKK with such assistance as CKK may reasonably request
in making or obtaining any such Authorizations. In the event that the
issuance of any such Authorization is conditioned upon an amendment or
modification to this Agreement which is reasonably unacceptable to Cadence,
Cadence shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without any further
obligation whatsoever to CKK.
16.3 OTHER LAWS. At its own expense, CKK shall comply with all
applicable laws, regulations, rules, ordinances and orders regarding its
activities related to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, CKK
shall comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and shall not make
any payments to third parties which would cause Cadence or CKK to violate
such laws.
17. ASSIGNMENT.
17.1 LIMITS ON ASSIGNMENT BY CKK. At any time, but no less than,
one (1) year after the Effective Date, CKK may assign all of its rights and
delegate all of its obligations under this Agreement to Innotech. Except as
set forth above, CKK shall not assign any of its rights, or delegate any of
its obligations, under this Agreement, either directly or indirectly, by
operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Cadence.
Any attempt by CKK to assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties
hereunder in violation of this Section 17.1 shall be null and void.
17.2 ASSIGNMENT BY CADENCE. Cadence may upon written notice to CKK
freely assign any or all of its rights or duties under this Agreement to an
Affiliate of Cadence which has substantially the same rights and capabilities
of Cadence (including the right to distribute Products) to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement, on the condition that the assignee's
20.
rights and obligations under this Agreement remain unmodified and in full force
and effect in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
17.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted
assigns.
18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The following procedure will be adhered to in all
disputes or with respect to any other problems arising under this Agreement
which the parties, including Distributors, cannot resolve informally. The
aggrieved party shall notify the other party in writing of the nature of the
dispute or other problem with as much detail as possible about the deficient
performance, if any, of the other party or otherwise as to the nature of the
dispute or problem. A representative appointed by each of the parties
("Dispute Resolvers") shall meet (in person or by telephone) within seven
days after the date of the written notification to reach an agreement about
the nature of the deficiency or problem and the corrective action to be taken
by the respective parties. The Dispute Resolvers shall produce a report
about the nature of the dispute or problem in detail to their respective
management. If the Dispute Resolvers are unable to agree on corrective
action or their agreement is not implemented, the managers to whom the
Dispute Resolvers (directly or indirectly) report ("Management") shall meet
or otherwise act to facilitate an agreement within 14 days of the date of the
written notification. If Management cannot resolve the dispute or problem or
otherwise agree upon a written plan of corrective action to do so within
seven days after their initial meeting or other action, of if the agreed-upon
completion dates in the written plan of corrective action are exceeded,
either party may request arbitration as provided for in Section 19
("Arbitration. Choice of Forum and Venue"). Except as otherwise
specifically provided, neither party shall terminate this Agreement for
breach or initiate arbitration, unless and until this dispute resolution
procedure has been employed or waived.
19. ARBITRATION.
19.1 ARBITRATION. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity
thereof, that cannot be settled amicably through the dispute resolution
procedure under Section 18 ("Dispute Resolution") shall be settled by final
and binding arbitration pursuant to the Japan-American Trade Arbitration
Agreement of September 16, 1952, if Cadence is the respondent, in San
Francisco, California, United States of America, by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in
effect on the date of this Agreement, or, if CKK is the respondent, in Tokyo,
Japan by the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association ("JCAA") in accordance
with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. There shall be three (3) arbitrators and
each party hereto is entitled to designate one arbitrator for confirmation by
AAA or JCAA, as the case may be. If a party fails to nominate an arbitrator
within the time period specified by the applicable rules of AAA or JCAA, as
the case may be, the Chairman of AAA or JCA, as the case may be, shall
appoint an arbitrator for that party. The two arbitrators so designated by
the parties hereto shall agree on the third arbitrator, who will act as the
Chairman of the board of arbitrators. In the event of their being unable to
agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of after their
confirmation by AAA or JCAA, as the case may be, the third arbitrator shall
be nominated by the Chairman of AAA or JCAA, as the case may be.
The language of the arbitration shall be English. At the first
arbitration hearing, the parties will (i) agree on the discovery schedule for
the arbitration, (ii) arrange an acceptable
21.
schedule for the resolution of any procedural or legal issues and (iii) in all
respects arrange for the most expeditious hearing possible of the matters in
dispute.
19.2 SCOPE. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall be empowered to
award only those damages which are permitted in this Agreement, subject to
any disclaimers of damages and liability limits set forth in this Agreement,
but the arbitrator or arbitrators shall not have the authority to reform,
modify or materially change this Agreement. The award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) shall include costs of the arbitration, reasonable attorneys'
fees and reasonable costs for experts and other witnesses. Judgment on the
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
19.3 PROVISIONAL RELIEF. The parties agree that the arbitrator(s)
shall have the authority to issue interim orders for provisional relief,
including, but not limited to, orders for injunctive relief, attachment or
other provisional remedy, as necessary to protect either party's name,
proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how or any other proprietary
right. The parties agree that any interim order of the arbitrator(s) for any
injunctive or other preliminary relief shall be enforceable in any court of
competent jurisdiction. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed as preventing either party from seeking provisional relief in order to
protect that party's name or proprietary rights.
19.4 BINDING NATURE OF AWARD. The award of the arbitrator shall be
final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review. In connection
with any application to confirm, correct or vacate the arbitration award, any
appeal of any order rendered pursuant to any such application, or any other
action required to enforce the arbitration award, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and
costs incurred in any post-arbitration award activities.
20. TERM AND TERMINATION.
20.1 TERM. This Agreement shall be effective from and after the
Effective Date for a period of ten (10) years (the "Initial Term"), unless
terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this section. Following the
Initial Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed upon the agreement
of the parties for additional five (5) year terms (each, a "Renewal Term").
20.2 IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
18 ("Dispute resolution"), this Agreement may also be terminated, effective
immediately, by giving written notice upon the occurrence of any of the

party, or petition for bankruptcy of the other party made by such other party,
and/or the appointment of a trustee or receiver in bankruptcy for the other
party;
(c) By either party, in the event of a petition for bankruptcy of the
other party, which petition is made by a third party and is not withdrawn or
dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days after it is made;
22.
(d) By Cadence upon the enactment of a law, decree, or regulation by
any governmental unit within the Territory which would (i) materially adversely
affect the right of Cadence to terminate or elect not to renew this Agreement as
herein provided, or (ii) materially impair or restrict Cadence's right, title or
interest in the Products or the Intellectual Property Rights therein; or
(e) By Cadence in the event CKK fails to make any payment when due
and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after the date of notice by
Cadence; or
(f) By Cadence in the event CKK attempts to assign its rights or
delegate its obligations under this Agreement without obtaining Cadence's
consent if required by Section 17.1 ("Limits on Assignment by CKK").
(g) By either party if the other party undergoes (i) a sale of all or
substantially all of its assets, or (ii) a change, within any ninety (90) day
period, of the Persons that control 50% or more of its equity securities or
voting interests; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any reorganization or merger of CKK
with Innotech shall not trigger this provision.
20.3 TERMINATION FOR MATERIAL BREACH. If either party shall commit
any material breach or be in material default of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement, other than those breaches covered by Section 20.2
("Termination for Cadence's Failure to Deliver Competitive Product"), and
Section 20.3 ("Immediate Termination"), the non-breaching party may give to the
breaching party written notice of the breach or default and may request that
such breach or default be cured. If the breaching party shall fail to cure such
breach or default within sixty (60) days after the date of the notice of breach
or default, the non-breaching party, subject to the provisions of Section 18
("Dispute Resolution"), may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving
written notice of termination to the breaching party.
21. EFFECT OF TERMINATION.
21.1 ORDERLY TERMINATION. In the event of termination of this
Agreement, regardless of the cause thereof, the parties shall abide by and
uphold any rights or obligations accrued or existing on the date of termination,
including obligations to provide Product to End Users. The parties agree to
continue cooperating with each other and to carry out an orderly termination of
their relations. CKK agrees to cease continued marketing of the Products and
will thereafter not enter into any End User Agreement or any other type of
agreement with regard to the Products.
21.2 ASSIGNMENT OF END USER AGREEMENTS. Notwithstanding the
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all End User Agreements
entered into by CKK or any Distributor and End Users prior to such termination
shall remain in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with their
terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that CKK and its Distributors shall assign to Cadence
or to a third Person designated by Cadence all of CKK's and its Distributors'
rights in any and all End User Agreements. CKK and its Distributors shall fully
cooperate with Cadence and shall take all steps and execute any and all
documents as may be necessary or convenient to promptly effect such assignment,
and upon assignment Cadence shall assume CKK's and its Distributors' rights and
obligations thereunder.
23.
21.3 RETURN OF MATERIALS. Upon termination of this Agreement, CKK and
its Distributors shall promptly complete all installation and related services

Distributors' possession and any and all Confidential Information which is in
written, recorded or other tangible form. CKK and its Distributors hereby
expressly waive and agree not to assert any right of detention whatsoever with
respect to such Products, promotional materials, literature and Confidential
Information.

23. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
23.1 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The relationship between Cadence and
CKK established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute the parties as
principal and agent, employer and employee, partners, joint venturers,
co-owners, agents or otherwise as participants in a joint undertaking. The
parties understand and agree that, except as specifically provided for in
this Agreement, Cadence does not grant CKK the power or authority to make or
give any agreement, statement, representation, warranty or other commitment
on behalf of Cadence or Cadence US, or to enter into any contract or
otherwise incur any liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of

interest of Cadence or Cadence US.

WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT
TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
24.
either party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made _____ day of ________,
19____, between Cadence Design Systems, Inc., ("CADENCE") and the
undersigned, ("CUSTOMER"). Customer desires by this Agreement to obtain from
Cadence licenses to use certain Licensed Programs and related Documentation
(as defined below) and establish the terms and conditions of all such
transactions between them. Therefore, Cadence and Customer agree as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DEFINITIONS. The following definitions apply herein:
a) "PRODUCT QUOTATION" or "QUOTATION" means a written quote from Cadence to
Customer identifying the Licensed Programs, quantity, charges, and other
information relevant to a specific transaction which Cadence is quoting to
Customer.
b) "LICENSED PROGRAM" means each executable software program and any
updated, improved or otherwise modified versions thereof furnished by Cadence
pursuant to a Product Quotation or an order from Customer solely for
Customer's internal purposes only; it may include software licensed by
Cadence from third parties.
c) "LICENSED USE" herein shall mean copying, running, or otherwise executing
any portion of the Licensed Program including loading data into or
displaying, viewing, or extracting output results therefrom for the purpose
of assisting Customer in the design, test, or manufacture of electronic
elements, circuits, or systems.
d) "DESIGNATED EQUIPMENT" means a computer or workstation as identified by
manufacturer, make, model, serial number, and host I.D. number, which has the
configuration, capacity, operating software and requisite applications
prescribed in the Licensed Program Documentation as necessary or desirable
for the Licensed Program's operation.
e) "DOCUMENTATION" means any and all information, written or otherwise,
provided to Customer by Cadence describing the Licensed Program, its
operation and matters related to its Licensed Use and any updated, improved
or modified version(s) of such materials, in published written material, on
magnetic media or communicated by electronic means.
f) "DESIGNATED SITE" means the specific address of Customer's facility
consisting of one or more buildings within a radius of one mile of where the
Designated Equipment upon which the Licensed Programs are installed.
2. LICENSE GRANT.
Cadence hereby grants and Customer accepts, subject to this Agreement, a
99-year, non-transferable, non-exclusive, fully paid, personal, limited
license to internally use each Licensed Program on the Designated Equipment
only at the Designated Site by a single user at a time (unless a multi-user
license is specified in the quotation) and to utilize the Documentation at
the Designated Site as is reasonably necessary for Customer's Licensed Use of
the Licensed Program. If the Licensed Program is installed on a computer in a
network within the Designated Site, it may be used only on one unit of
Designated Equipment at a time. Customer shall not sublicense, modify, or
permit third parties to use or otherwise access the Licensed Program or the
Documentation. Customer shall not receive, use, nor have access to sourcecode
relating to any Licensed Program.
3. LOCATION AND TRANSFER.
Each license granted hereunder authorizes only Customer's Licensed Use of the
Licensed Program(s) on specifically identified Designated Equipment at the
specifically identified Designated Site. The Licensed Program may only be
moved from the Designated Site or the Designated Equipment if the Designated
Equipment malfunctions and only with Cadence's prior written consent.
Customer will immediately return Cadence's Rehost Certificate when the
Licensed Program is moved from either the previously identified Designated
Equipment or Designated Site and completely remove the Licensed Program from
such equipment.
4. COPIES BY CUSTOMER.
Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of a Licensed Program only
for archival purposes and only for use as back-ups when the Licensed Program
is not operational. All legends, trademarks, tradenames, copyright legends
and other identifications must also be copied when copying the Licensed
Program. Documentation may not be copied except for a reasonable number of
printed copies produced by Customer for internal use only from Documentation
provided in electronic form. At Cadence's request, Customer will provide
Cadence with a listing of the number of copies currently in possession or
control by Customer.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement is intended to commence at the time of shipment of the
Licensed Programs.
(b) This Agreement hereunder may be terminated by Cadence:
(i) if Customer defaults in the timely payment of any monies due Cadence;
or
(ii) if Customer breaches any Confidentiality provisions herein, or
(iii) in the event of a material breach by Customer of any provision of
this Agreement where Customer fails to correct such breach within 30 days of
written notice, or
(iv) upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or assignment for
the benefit of creditors of Customer.
Within 30 days after the date of termination of any License granted under
this License Agreement, Customer shall furnish to Cadence written notice
certifying that the original and all copies including partial copies of the
corresponding Licensed Program, any Documentation, and any other materials
received from Cadence have been returned or destroyed. Customer shall make
prompt payment in full to Cadence for all amounts outstanding as of the date
of termination.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY.
(a) Cadence warrants for thirty (30) days after shipment that the recording
media by which a Licensed Program is furnished is free of manufacturing
defects and damage provided that the media has been properly installed by
Customer on the Designated Equipment. Cadence does not warrant that any
Licensed Program will meet Customer's requirements nor will be error free. As
Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the warranty herein,
Cadence will provide a suitable replacement media containing the Licensed
Program.
(b) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, CADENCE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
AND DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED PROGRAM OR
DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. CADENCE'S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO AND NOT EXCEED THE
LICENSE FEE PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE LICENSED PROGRAMS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
CADENCE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR ANY REMEDY SET
FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. CADENCE SHALL NOT
BE LIABLE FOR COSTS OF
1
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTES, LOSS OF PROFITS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR FOR
ANY OTHER SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED,
WHETHER FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY
OR OTHERWISE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LICENSE FEE REFLECTS THIS
ALLOCATION OF RISK. IN NO EVENT SHALL CADENCE'S LIABILITY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
EXCEED THE GREATER OF $50,000, OR THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE
LICENSED PROGRAM THAT CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE. CUSTOMER AGREES IT WILL TAKE NO
LEGAL ACTION AGAINST CADENCE'S THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE SUPPLIERS.
8. FEES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
Cadence's price list in effect at receipt of Customer's order shall apply
unless otherwise provided in a Product Quotation provided to Customer by
Cadence. Payment of the total amount invoiced is due thirty (30) days of the
latter of shipment or invoice date.
9. TAXES.
Customer will pay or reimburse all federal, state and local taxes (exclusive
of taxes on Cadence's net income), duties and assessments, if any due,
arising on or measured by amounts payable to Cadence under this Agreement.
10. SHIPMENT.
Delivery is to be made F.O.B. Customer's dock and shipping charges, including
insurance, shall be paid by Cadence.
11. MAINTENANCE, INSTALLATION AND TRAINING.

Maintenance Services Agreement which Cadence recommends. Installation
services and training, where available from Cadence, may also be ordered
under separate agreement at Cadence's then current rates. Any installation
assistance provided by Cadence hereunder shall be without liability or risk
to Cadence.
12. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY.
If any Licensed Program supplied hereunder becomes the subject of a claim of
infringement of a U.S. patent or copyright, Cadence will indemnify Customer
against such claim provided that Customer gives Cadence prompt written notice
of such claim, allows Cadence to direct the defense and settlement of the
claim, and cooperates with Cadence as necessary for defense and settlement of
the claim. If an injunction is obtained against Customer's use of a Licensed
Program, or if in Cadence's opinion such an injunction is likely to be
obtained, Cadence shall have the right to obtain for Customer the right to
continue using the Licensed Program, replace or modify the Licensed Program
so that it becomes non-infringing, or terminate the license granted hereunder
to such Licensed Program with refund to Customer of the license fee paid for
such Licensed Program, (less a reasonable charge for the period during
which Customer has had availability of such Licensed Program for use).
Cadence will have no liability for any infringement claim to the extent it is
based on modification of a Licensed Program other than by Cadence, with or
without authorization; or results from failure of Customer to utilize an
updated version of a Licensed Program; or results from compliance by Cadence
with designs, plans or specifications furnished by Customer. THE FOREGOING
STATES CADENCE'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INFRINGEMENT.
13. PROTECTION OF LICENSED MATERIALS.

interest (other than those of Cadence) on, nor allow any third person, firm,
corporation, or other entity to copy, reproduce or disclose in whole or in
part in any manner the Licensed Program or Documentation. Customer receives
no rights to and shall not create nor attempt to create by reverse
engineering, reverse assembly, reverse compiling any part of the sourcecode

access to the Licensed Program or Documentation and that no unauthorized
copy, in whole or in part, in any form shall be made. Customer's obligation
under this section shall survive any termination of any other provision of
this Agreement.

or Documentation. In addition, Customer warrants that Customer shall comply
with all U.S. laws regarding export and all other necessary approval and
licensing requirements of the U.S. Dept. of Commerce and other agencies or
departments of the U.S. Government.
15. ASSIGNMENT.
Neither party shall assign this Agreement, or delegate, or subcontract any
portion of its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The party's consent to an assignment shall
not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment. The following

other reorganization of or affecting the party, whether or not the party is
the surviving corporation, and (2) the sale or transfer, whether is one or a
series of transactions, of stock possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of
the total combined voting power of all classes of the party's capital stock

to, inconsistent with or different from the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be of no force or effect. This Agreement may be modified only

moved from the Designated Site or the Designated Equipment if the Designated
Equipment malfunctions and only with Cadence's prior written consent.
Customer will immediately return Cadence's Rehost Certificate when the
Licensed Program is moved from either the previously identified Designated
Equipment or Designated Site and completely remove the Licensed Program from
such equipment.

Program. Documentation may not be copied except for a reasonable number of
printed copies produced by Customer for internal use only from Documentation
provided in electronic form. At Cadence's request, Customer will provide
Cadence with a listing of the number of copies currently in possession or
control by Customer.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement is intended to commence at the time of shipment of the

the benefit of creditors of Customer.
Within 30 days after the date of termination of any License granted under
this License Agreement, Customer shall furnish to Cadence written notice
certifying that the original and all copies including partial copies of the
corresponding Licensed Program, any Documentation, and any other materials
received from Cadence have been returned or destroyed. Customer shall make
prompt payment in full to Cadence for all amounts outstanding as of the date

Licensed Program will meet Customer's requirements nor will be error free. As
Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the warranty herein,
Cadence will provide a suitable replacement media containing the Licensed
Program.
(b) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, CADENCE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
AND DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED PROGRAM OR
DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTES, LOSS OF PROFITS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR FOR
ANY OTHER SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED,
WHETHER FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY
OR OTHERWISE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LICENSE FEE REFLECTS THIS
ALLOCATION OF RISK. IN NO EVENT SHALL CADENCE'S LIABILITY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
EXCEED THE GREATER OF $50,000, OR THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE
LICENSED PROGRAM THAT CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE. CUSTOMER AGREES IT WILL TAKE NO
LEGAL ACTION AGAINST CADENCE'S THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE SUPPLIERS.

12. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY.
If any Licensed Program supplied hereunder becomes the subject of a claim of
infringement of a U.S. patent or copyright, Cadence will indemnify Customer
against such claim provided that Customer gives Cadence prompt written notice
of such claim, allows Cadence to direct the defense and settlement of the
claim, and cooperates with Cadence as necessary for defense and settlement of
the claim. If an injunction is obtained against Customer's use of a Licensed
Program, or if in Cadence's opinion such an injunction is likely to be
obtained, Cadence shall have the right to obtain for Customer the right to
continue using the Licensed Program, replace or modify the Licensed Program
so that it becomes non-infringing, or terminate the license granted hereunder
to such Licensed Program with refund to Customer of the license fee paid for
such Licensed Program, (less a reasonable charge for the period during
which Customer has had availability of such Licensed Program for use).
Cadence will have no liability for any infringement claim to the extent it is
based on modification of a Licensed Program other than by Cadence, with or
without authorization; or results from failure of Customer to utilize an
updated version of a Licensed Program; or results from compliance by Cadence
with designs, plans or specifications furnished by Customer. THE FOREGOING
