SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is executed as of the 31st day of August,  2006, between TARIGO-PAUL, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Lessor”) and SYNOPSYS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Lessee”).

RECITALS

A.            Tarigo-Paul, a California limited partnership (the predecessor-in-interest to Lessor) and Lessee entered into a Mary Avenue Industrial Lease dated as of January 2, 1996 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated July 15, 1996  (the “First Amendment”) (the Original Lease, as so as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”), pursuant to which Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, certain premises (the “Premises”) consisting of two (2) four (4) story buildings containing an aggregate of two hundred seven thousand (207,000) square feet of rentable space located at 445 and 455 Mary Avenue in Sunnyvale, California. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Lease.  As of the Extension Date (as defined below), the “Lease” shall mean the Lease, as modified by this Amendment.

B.            Pursuant to the terms of Section 3.02 of the Lease, Lessee has two (2) rights to extend the Term of the Lease for five (5) years each.  Lessee and Lessor have negotiated for Lessee’s right to the Extended Term (as defined below) in lieu of Lessee’s exercise of its first right to extend the Term for five (5) years, and the parties now desire to amend the Lease to (i) extend the Term of the Lease as is provided for in Section 2 below, (ii) modify the Base Rent payable by Lessee under the Lease during such extended Term as provided below, (iii) provide for Lessor to make available to Lessee a Lessee improvement allowance equal to One Million Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,035,000.00) pursuant to terms described below, (iv) provide that Lessee’s first extension right pursuant to Section 3.02 has now been used and is no longer in effect, and (v) modify the Lease in certain other respects, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree as follows:.

1.             Recitals.  Recitals A and B above are incorporated herein by reference.

2.             Extension of Term.  Provided that Lessor has not then provided Lessee with a written notice of default which has not been cured pursuant to the Lease and the Lease is then still in full force and effect, as of April 26, 2007 (the “Extension Date”) the Term of the Lease shall be extended such that the Term shall terminate on October 31, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”).  (Such time period from April 26, 2007 to October 31, 2012 is hereafter referred to as the “Extended Term”.)

3.             Option to Terminate.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that Lessor has not then provided Lessee with a written notice of default which

has not been cured pursuant to the Lease as of the date Lessee delivers its Termination Notice (as defined below) or the date on which any payment of the Termination Fee (as defined below) is due and payable hereunder, Lessee shall have a one time right (the “Termination Option”) to terminate the Lease, at Lessee’s election, effective as of April 30, 2010 (the “Early Termination Date”) by delivering to Lessor irrevocable written notice thereof (a “Termination Notice”) on or before April 30, 2009.  As a condition to the effectiveness of Lessee’s exercise of the Termination Option  described herein, Lessee must deliver to Lessee a fee (the “Termination Fee”) equal to (i) four (4) months’ Base Rent payable under the Lease, plus (ii) all unamortized (as of the Early Termination Date) commissions incurred by Sublandlord as a result of the mutual execution and delivery of this Amendment plus (iii) the unamortized (as of the Early Termination Date) Allowance actually expended by Lessor, assuming, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) that the sums in question are amortized on a straight-line basis over the Extended Term. By way of example, if the entire Allowance is used by Lessee, then the Termination Fee shall be Two Million Eight Hundred Ninety Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Eight and 10/100 Dollars ($2,890,228.10).  One half of the Termination Fee shall be due and payable on or before November 10, 2009, and the remaining half of the Termination Fee shall be due and payable on or before April 30, 2010.

4.             Base Rent.  During the Extended Term, the Base Rent payable under the Lease shall be as follows:

5.             Lessee Improvement Allowance.

(a)           Allowance.  Lessor shall provide Lessee with a Lessee improvement allowance equal to One Million Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,035,000.00) (the “Allowance”) for Lessee’ s use in making alterations to the Premises pursuant to all of the terms of the Lease, including but not limited to Section 6.4 of the Original Lease.  Lessee shall pay all costs of any of its alterations in excess of the Allowance.  Lessee must make requests for the allowance prior to the date (the “Cut-Off

2

Date”) which is the earlier to occur of: (i) the third anniversary of the Extension Date or (ii) the date on which Lessee sends a Termination Notice to Lessor.

(b)           Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount not to exceed the Allowance toward the cost of Lessee’s alterations to the Premises, provided as of the date on which Lessor is required to make payment thereof, (i) the Lease is in full force and effect, and (ii) Lessee is not in default under the Lease.  The Allowance shall be payable solely on account of labor directly related to such alterations and materials delivered to the Premises in connection therewith, except that Lessee may apply Lessor’s Contribution to pay “soft costs”, consisting of architectural, consulting, permitting and engineering fees, incurred in connection with the alterations.  Lessee shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Allowance not actually expended by Lessee in the performance of alterations in accordance with the terms of the Lease.  Upon the completion of such alterations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, or upon the occurrence of the Cut-Off Date, whichever first occurs, any amount of the Allowance which has not been previously disbursed shall be retained by Lessor.

(c)           Lessor shall pay the Allowance in multiple payments of not less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) each to Lessee as and when work progress, but not more frequently than once every sixty (60) days, within 30 days after submission by Lessee to Lessor of a written requisition therefore (in the form of an AIA G702 or such other form as is reasonably requested by Lessor or Lessor’s lender), signed  by Lessee and accompanied by (i) copies of invoices covering all of the alterations for which payment is requested, (ii) a written certification from Lessee’s architect stating that the alterations described on such invoices have been completed in accordance with applicable laws and plans therefor that have been approved by Lessor, (iii) duly executed (conditional or final, as the case may be) lien releases from all contractors requesting payment (iv) with respect to the final disbursement, proof of the satisfactory completion of all required inspections and the issuance of any required approvals and sign-offs by governmental authorities with respect thereto, (v) with respect to the final disbursement, all items required pursuant to subparagraph (d) below, (vi) any documentation required by any lender with a lien on the Premises, and (vii) such other documents and information as Lessor may reasonably request, including in connection with title drawdowns and endorsements.

(d)           Upon completion of any alterations, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with “as built” plans for any portion of the Premises affected by such alterations, final, unconditional waivers and releases of lien from each of Lessee’s contractors, subcontractors and materialmen with respect to the alterations, a detailed breakdown of the costs of the alterations (which may be in the form of an owner’s affidavit), and an occupancy permit, if applicable, for the Premises.  The “as-built” plans shall be prepared both as hard copies and on an AutoCAD Computer Assisted Drafting and Design System (or such other system or medium as Lessor may accept), using naming conventions issued by the American Institute of Architects in June, 1990 (or such other naming conventions as Lessor may accept) and magnetic computer media of such record drawings and specifications translated in DFX format or another format acceptable to Lessor.

6.             Condition of Premises.  As of the Extension Date, the Premises shall be leased to Lessee on an “as-is” basis, without any representation or warranty whatsoever, and any representations or warranties or covenants made by Lessor in the Lease with respect to the condition of the Premises as of the Commencement Date or any other period during the Term shall not apply to the Extension Date or any time period during the Extended Term.

7.             Extension Option.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessee now possesses only one right to extend the Lease Term for an additional period of five (5) years, commencing as of the first day after the Expiration Date.  As described in the Original Lease, in order to exercise such right, Lessee must deliver written notice (a “Term Extension Notice”) exercising such extension right at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Extended Term.

8.             Damage or Destruction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Original Lease, if the Premises is affected by damage or destruction, the Rent due under the Lease shall not be abated as a result thereof unless Lessor actually receives rental abatement insurance proceeds as a result of such damage or destruction, or such proceeds would have been received by Lessor had Lessor maintained the rental abatement insurance required of Lessor pursuant to the terms of the Original Lease. At all times during the Extended Term, Lessor shall maintain insurance under various blanket policies with coverage  against loss of rents from the Premises in an amount at least equal to the rental that would next come due under the Lease for twelve (12) months.  Lessor agrees to act in good faith to diligently seek recovery of any proceeds which may be recovered pursuant to any such policy of loss of rents insurance.

10.           Lessor’s Access.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article XIV of the Original Lease, Lessor shall have the right to show the Premises and post “For Lease” signs for the purpose of reletting the Premises at any time after the earlier to occur of: (i) Lessee’s delivery of a Termination Notice to Lessor, or (ii) Lessee failure to deliver a Term Extension Notice to Lessor prior to the deadline therefor.
