APPLICANT'S STATEMENT

I certify that the information provided in this application is accurate. I understand that the withholding of information or the giving of false information on this application or my resume will result in a refusal to hire or in disciplinary action up to and including the termination of my employment.

I hereby grant permission to any person, firm or corporation to release to the Company or its representative any and all information regarding my past work or employment and my background. I waive any and all claims I might have with respect to the providing of such information.

I understand and agree that if I am offered employment by the Company, it will be for an indefinite term and on an at-will basis. This means that either I or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. I understand that this "at-will" relationship may be changed only by a written agreement entered into for this purpose and signed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. I also understand that other terms and conditions of my employment will be governed by various policies and programs of the Company, in writing and otherwise, and that those policies and programs may be changed from time to time by the Company at its discretion without affecting the "at will" nature of employment.

If I am offered employment, I agree that on or before my hire date, I will provide original documents to Synopsys which verify my identity and right to work under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 ("IRCA"). I also agree that Synopsys may provide photocopies of the form on which my identity and right to work is verified (the "I-9 Form") and any supporting documentation submitted by me to any person who, in connection with effecting compliance with IRCA, has a legitimate interest in the information contained therein.

I understand that neither this document nor any offer of employment from the employer constitute an employment contract unless a specific document to that effect is executed by the employer and employee in writing.

I HAVE READ THE ABOVE PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS APPLICATION.
