TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
The following terms and conditions govern the Agreement between the parties:
1. Appointment and License.
(a) Appointment. Company hereby appoints Distributor as a
nonexclusive Distributor for the Products in the Territory set forth in
Schedule 1 on Exhibit A. Distributor's sole authority is to market the
Products and to solicit sales opportunities in the form of a "Pre-Sales
Registration" (as defined in Schedule 1 on Exhibit A). Distributor shall not
advertise or otherwise market Company Products or otherwise solicit customers
outside of the Territory.
(b) Reserved Rights. Company reserves the right to (i)
solicit orders directly from and sell directly to any customer and all
distributors or other intermediaries within the Territory, and (ii) appoint
other distributors or other distributors on a non-exclusive basis to sell the
Products in the Territory. Company shall pay no compensation to Distributor
for orders not based on a Pre-Sales Registration accepted by Company under
Section 2(a).
(c) Products. Distributor shall solicit sales opportunities
for Products based upon the products described on the "Product List" (Exhibit
B). Company may revise the Product List to add or delete Products upon 30 days
prior written notice to Distributor. Revisions will apply to all Pre-Sales
Registrations accepted by Company after the effective date of the revision.
(d) Independent Contractor. The relationship of Company and
Distributor established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors,
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) give either
party the power to direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other,
(ii) constitute the parties as partners, joint venturers, co-owners or
otherwise as participants in a joint undertaking, or (iii) allow Distributor
to create or assume any obligation on behalf of Company for any purpose
whatsoever. All financial and other obligations associated with Distributor's
business are the sole responsibility of Distributor. Distributor's only
authority is to market Products and solicit sales opportunities as described
in Section 1(a).
2. Pre-Sales Registration; Product Ordering and Purchase
(a) Pre-Sales Registration. Distributor shall submit a Pre-
Sales Registration of all sales opportunities to Company at the beginning of
Distributor's sales cycle for the Products. The Pre-Sales Registration must be
made by completing a "Design Forecast/Registration Reporting Form" (Exhibit G)
in accordance with the "Registration Process" (Exhibit F). Company shall
review the Design Forecast/ Registration Reporting Forms submitted by
Distributor and accept or reject the Pre-Sales Registration at its sole
discretion within five business days of submission. Without limiting the
foregoing, Company will accept Pre-Sales Registrations only if Company is not
currently active with the sales opportunity identified on the Pre-Sales
Registration. Rejected Pre-Sales Registrations expire upon rejection and
accepted Pre-Sales Registrations expire 90 days after acceptance by Company.
(b) Product Ordering. Company is responsible for delivering
any license authorizations necessary for End User customers to use the
Products and shall quote, receive purchase orders, invoice and collect
payments from End User customers directly.
(c) Maintenance Renewal. Company shall be responsible for
generating quotes, receiving purchase orders, invoicing and collecting all
Maintenance Renewals from End User customers.
3. Compensation.
(a) Commission. Distributor's sole compensation under the
terms of this Agreement will be a commission as set forth in this Section 3.
(b) Basis of Commission. Company shall pay commissions to
Distributor based on Qualified Xxxxxxxx only. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Qualified Xxxxxxxx" means xxxxxxxx by Company to End User customers, net of
taxes, governmental levies or fees, and shipping and handling charges, based
on Products sold pursuant to an accepted Pre-Sales Registration and for which
the End User requests delivery by Company within 90 days after Company has
accepted such Pre-Sales Registration. No payments will be due to Distributor
on any amounts billed by Company to customers subsequent to 90 days after
acceptance of Pre-Sales Registration or for any maintenance renewal fees or
other professional services, even if Company rendered such services in
connection with the sale of the Products. If any products are returned by an
End User customer, any credit given such End User customer shall reduce the
Qualified Xxxxxxxx used in future commission calculations.

(c)
(d) Expired Pre-Sales Registrations. In the event an
accepted Pre-Sales Registration does not result in a Qualified Billing by the
Company within 90 days of Company's acceptance of that Pre-Sales Registration,
Distributor may update the information and re-submit the Pre-Sales
Registration. However, any re-submissions will be subject to acceptance by the
Company, under Section 2(a), based on the facts and circumstances existing at
the time of re-submission. Prior approval of a previous Pre-Sales Registration
for an End User customer will not obligate the Company to approve any re-
submission by the Distributor.
(e) Amount of Commission. Company shall pay to Distributor a
commission of [***]% of Qualified Xxxxxxxx collected by Company, except in
connection with Special Programs as discussed in Section 6 ( c ), on which the
commission rate on Qualified Xxxxxxxx resulting directly from such Special
Programs will be the rate agreed to by the parties in writing for that Special
Program. Payments due to Distributor will be made 30 days after each of
Company's fiscal quarter end, based on Qualified Xxxxxxxx collected during the
most recent fiscal quarter. Additionally, Company shall pay [***] dollars
($[***]) per Synplify license included in each Qualified Billing directly to
Distributor's Technical Sales Engineer responsible for such Qualified Billing.
Distributor will also match such [***] dollar payment to the Technical Sales
Engineer.
4. Term and Termination.

Date and shall continue in accordance with the "Term" identified on the
"Schedules" (Exhibit A), unless earlier terminated in accordance with this
Section 4.

this Agreement, upon written notice (i) at least 60 days prior to the
effective date of termination; or (ii) if the other party has materially

within 30 days after receiving written notice of the default. Company may
terminate this Agreement if Distributor fails to use commercially reasonable
efforts to maximize sales opportunities of the Products.
(c) Company Termination For Cause. Company may terminate
this Agreement at any time in the event that:
(i) Distributor fails to perform any other obligation,

condition undertaken by Distributor under this Agreement and such failure or
default continues unremedied for a period of 30 days following written notice
of such failure or default;
(ii) Distributor is merged, consolidated, sells all or
substantially all of its assets, or implements or suffers any substantial
change in management or control;
(iii) Distributor fails to achieve 50% of the mutually
agreed sales registration target for a period of two consecutive quarters at
which time Company may elect to provide Distributor with 60 days notice of its
intent to terminate the Agreement. Company and Distributor will document the
agreed sales registration target for each quarter by filling out and returning
to Company the "Quarterly Sales Registration Target Forecast" (Exhibit E) no
later than the tenth day of the new quarter for which the sales registration
target pertains.
(d) Automatic Termination. This Agreement terminates

law, or Distributor is liquidated or dissolved.

obligated to provide to existing customers. In no event will Distributor
license, sell or otherwise transfer Company Products to any third party upon
termination. All existing customers shall revert back to Company for continued
support and future sales of Company Products. Within 20 days of termination of
this Agreement, Distributor agrees to return to Company all Company Products,
including all computer media containing Company's computer programs and
printed material related to Company Products. Neither party will be relieved
of any obligations incurred prior to such termination. The provisions of

Synplicity's entire liability and Licensee's exclusive remedy for a breach of
the preceding limited warranties shall be, at Synplicity's option, either (a)
return of the license fee, or (b) providing a fix, patch, work-around, or
replacement of the SOFTWARE that does not meet such limited warranty. In either
case, Licensee must return the SOFTWARE to Synplicity with a copy of the
purchase receipt or similar document. Any replacement will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or 30 days, whichever is longer. Some
states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied
warranty, so the above limitation may not apply. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
ABOVE, NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE BY
SYNPLICITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION
(STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), AND SYNPLICITY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SYNPLICITY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN
THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE,
OR THAT ALL DEFECTS IN THE PROGRAM WILL BE CORRECTED. Licensee assumes the
entire risk as to the results and performance of the SOFTWARE. Some
states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the
above exclusion may not apply.
Limitation of Liability. LICENSEE AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL SYNPLICITY OR
ITS AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS
PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER
PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THESE SYNPLICITY
PRODUCTS, EVEN IF SYNPLICITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. In no event will Synplicity be liable to Licensee for damages in an
amount greater than the fees paid for the use of the SOFTWARE. Some
states/jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply.
Intellectual Property Right Infringement. In the event that a claim alleging
infringement of an intellectual property right arises concerning the SOFTWARE
(including but not limited to patent, trade secret, copyright or trademark
rights), Synplicity in its sole discretion may elect to defend or settle such
claim. Synplicity in the event of such a claim may also in its sole discretion
elect to terminate this Agreement and all rights to use the SOFTWARE, and
require the return or destruction of the SOFTWARE, with a refund of the fees
paid for use of the SOFTWARE less a reasonable allowance for use and shipping.
Miscellaneous. If Licensee is a corporation, partnership or similar entity,
then the license to the Software that is granted under this Agreement is
expressly conditioned upon acceptance by a person who is authorized to sign for
and bind the entity. This Agreement is the entire agreement between Licensee
and Synplicity with respect to the license to the SOFTWARE, and supersedes any
previous oral or written communications or documents (including, if you are
obtaining an update, any agreement that may have been included with the initial
version of the Software). This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
California, USA. This Agreement will not be governed by the U.N. Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If any provision of this
Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the
extent permissible and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect. Failure to prosecute a party's rights with respect to a default
hereunder will not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce rights with
respect to the same or any other breach.
Government Users. Use, reproduction, release, modification, or disclosure of
this commercial computer software, or of any related documentation of any kind,
is restricted in accordance with FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202, and further
