Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the filing by Synopsys, Inc. (the Company) of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the offering of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the Shares), pursuant to the Companys 2006 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and related Prospectuses, the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as currently in effect, the Plan and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such other records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as we deem necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Plan and the Registration Statement and related Prospectuses, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable (except as to Shares issued pursuant to certain deferred payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such deferred payments are made in full).
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
COOLEY LLP

We consent to the use of our report dated December 20, 2012, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of Synopsys, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 3, 2012 and October 29, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 3, 2012, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of November 3, 2012, incorporated herein by reference.
Our report dated December 20, 2012, on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of November 3, 2012 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company excluded from their evaluation the internal control over financial reporting of SpringSoft, Inc., which the Company acquired a controlling interest in as of October 1, 2012, and Emulation & Verification Engineering S.A. (EVE), which Synopsys, Inc. acquired on October 4, 2012, as discussed in Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. As of and for the year ended November 3, 2012, SpringSoft, Inc. and EVE represented, in the aggregate, less than 4% and 1% of consolidated total assets and total revenue, respectively.
