The Section of the Package entitled “Reimbursement of Relocation Benefits”, is
hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“Reimbursement of Relocation Benefits

The relocation benefits paid pursuant to this Addendum (“Total Relocation
Benefits”) must be reimbursed to Autodesk under the calculation provided below
where (1) you voluntarily terminate your employment with Autodesk within
twenty-four (24) months from August 1, 2011 or (2) Autodesk terminates your
employment with the Company for Cause within twenty-four (24) months from
August 1, 2011. “Cause” is determined at the Company’s sole discretion and
reasons may include, but are not limited to, your violation of Company policy or
failure to perform your job duties.

If reimbursement of Total Relocation Benefits is required, the amount of the
reimbursement will be determined based on the percentage of the number of months
you worked for the Company from August 1, 2011 divided by twenty-four
(24) months. For purposes of this calculation, if you worked one day of a month,
that month is considered worked for purposes of this calculation. For example,
if you worked six months, you would have to reimburse the Company for 75% of
Total Relocation Benefits paid to you. Your payment is due within ten calendar
days of your termination. You agree, by accepting these benefits, you will
reimburse them pursuant to this provision.”

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

The following sections are hereby added to the Package:

“Tax Assistance

Most of the relocation expenses are considered taxable income to the employee.
Autodesk will assist with that tax liability (referred to as a “grossed up”).
Using the marginal tax rate that applies based on your expected Autodesk income,
the Company will “gross up” any non-deductable, approved relocation expenses
that would otherwise be considered W-2 income.

Calculation and Duration of Relocation Benefit

As of August 1, 2011, the Company estimates the value of the Total Relocation
Benefit to be approximately $200,000. This estimate is based upon current market
conditions, the estimated value of your primary residence, estimated Selling
Closing Costs, estimated Buying Closing Costs, estimated Moving Household Goods
to New Location costs, and the estimated Tax Assistance related to applicable
costs.

In the event that you sell your primary residence and purchases a new primary
residence, you will be able to recover the costs associated with the Selling
Closing Costs, the Buying Closing Costs, the costs associated with Moving
Household Goods to New Location and the related Tax Assistance subject to a
maximum amount calculated by $200,000 less amounts actually paid to you for
Temporary Housing and Living Expenses, and associated Tax Assistance. For
example, if by January 2012, you have incurred $50,000 related to Temporary
Housing and Living Expenses plus applicable Tax Assistance, and you sell your
primary residence and purchases a new primary residence, the Total Relocation
Benefit available for reimbursement of actual Selling Closing Costs, actual
Buying Closing Costs, actual Moving Household Goods to New Location, plus
related Tax Assistance costs shall not exceed $150,000.

You may continue to receive Temporary Housing and Living Expenses and the
associated Tax Assistance, until such time as the balance of the Total
Relocation Benefit has been extinguished or until your employment relationship
with Autodesk ends, whichever occurs first. If there is any remaining balance of
the Total Relocation Benefit at the time the employment relationship ends, any
unused amounts shall be retained by Autodesk.”

Except as modified by this Addendum, the terms and conditions of the Policy and
the Package remain in full force and effect.
