  Lauro, why is Mentor suing EVE?  Does this mean your users are
  at risk?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Could you please ask Lauro to explain the key points of Mentor's
  lawsuit against EVE.  Please do not let Lauro go vague on this.
  We are engineers.  We can understand patents and technical issues
  if explained concisely and correctly.

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Is EVE one lawsuit away from closing its doors?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  EVE claims to have made $60 million in 2011 sales.  How is that
  revenue recognized?  Three year subscription models or lump sum?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Why have you not sold out to Synopsys yet?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  What's EVE's price for it to get acquired by Aart?  What multiple
  are you looking for?  3X?  6X?  10X?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  What's the difference between EVE, Cadence, Mentor's emulators?

  What's the difference between EVE and Dini boxes?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Is Xilinx an investor in EVE?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Why should people buy Zebu and not Veloce or Palladium?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Is gate level verification going to become obsolete if high
  level synthesis takes over?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  If SystemC to RTL synthesis finally catches on, does Lauro know
  that this is the death knell of EVE?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  Lauro, did you cheer when you heard ESL was floundering when
  Mentor dumped Catapult C to Calypto?  Or when Synopsys couldn't
  make any money from Synfora?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

  People are still saying verification takes up over 50% engineering
  time.  Is that ever going to change?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----
