ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for
the indemnification of officers and directors under certain circumstances
against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a claim and
authorizes Delaware corporations to indemnify their officers and directors under
certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal
proceedings involving such persons because of their being or having been an
officer or director. Article VII of the Bylaws provide that all persons whom the
Registrant is empowered to indemnify pursuant to Delaware General Corporation
Law shall be indemnified by the Registrant to the full extent permitted thereby.
The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed to be exclusive of
any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under
any statute, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     Section 102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation, by so providing in its certificate of incorporation, to eliminate
or limit director's liability to the corporation and its stockholders for
monetary damages arising out of certain alleged breaches of their fiduciary
duty. Section 102(b)(7) provides that no such limitation of liability may affect
a director's liability with respect to any of the following: (i) breaches of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) acts or
omissions not made in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct of
knowing violations of law; (iii) liability for dividends paid or stock
repurchased or redeemed in violation of Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation law or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

     All of Tality's directors and officers will be covered by insurance
policies maintained by Tality against certain liabilities for actions taken in
their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnity
agreements with its directors and executive officers (a form of which is filed
as Exhibit 10.5 to this Registration Statement) that obligate the Registrant to
indemnify such directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   4

     Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement, the proposed form of which
is filed as Exhibit 1.1, pursuant to which the underwriters agree to indemnify
the directors and certain officers of the Registrant and certain other persons
in certain circumstances.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.


     In connection with its incorporation and organization, on July 13, 2000,
Tality Corporation issued 2,150,000 shares of Class A common stock and one share
of Class B common stock to Cadence for an aggregate of $13,437,500. Tality
Corporation believes that this issuance was exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving any public
offering.


     During July 2000, Tality Corporation granted options to Cadence to purchase
up to        shares of Tality Corporation's Class A common stock under Tality
Corporation's stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $6.25
per share. Cadence subsequently transferred the options to its employees
involved primarily in the electronics design services business. These grants
were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a
transaction not involving a public offering and issuances to Cadence employees
pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act.

     During July 2000, Tality Corporation granted options to two employees of
Cadence involved primarily in the electronics design services business. These
grants were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as
a transaction not involving a public offering.

information called for is not required or is shown either in our consolidated
financial statements or the notes thereto.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes the following:

         (i) The Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at
     the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such
     denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters
     to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

         (ii) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted
     to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
     to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's Amended and
     Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Registrant's Bylaws, or
     otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
     In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
     (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
     director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
     defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
     officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
     registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         (iii) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
     this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act is part of this Registration
     Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (iv) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
