 EXHIBIT A 
 AUTODESK, INC. 
 2008 EMPLOYEE STOCK PLAN 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the participant (the “Participant”) named in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units (the “Notice of Grant”) under the Plan the number of
Restricted Stock Units indicated on the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. When shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Shares”) are
paid to Participant in payment for the Restricted Stock Units, par value shall be deemed paid by Participant for each Restricted Stock Unit by past services rendered by Participant, and shall be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings. Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 
 2. Company’s
Obligation to Pay. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units shall have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 or 4 of this Agreement or Section 13 of the Plan, Participant shall have no right to payment of any such Restricted
Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units shall represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Payment of any vested
Restricted Stock Units will be made in whole Shares only. In the Administrator’s sole discretion, the Restricted Stock Units may be settled, in part or solely, in cash in lieu of Shares, equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
Distribution Date, multiplied by (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units to be distributed, subject to any applicable tax withholding. 
 3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in paragraph 4 of this Agreement and Section 13 of the Plan, and subject to paragraph 5 of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance
with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition shall vest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement only if Participant
is continuously employed by the Company from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. 
 4. Administrator Discretion. The
Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units
shall be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the distribution of any portion of the balance of the Restricted Stock Units is made in
connection with Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units shall result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six
(6) month period following Participant’s termination as an Employee, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units shall not be made until the earlier of (A) six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of
Participant’s termination as an Employee or (B) Participant’s death. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or
Shares issuable thereunder shall be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time. 
  

 1 







 5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as an Employee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of
this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as an Employee for any or no reason shall be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at
no cost to the Company and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder shall immediately terminate. 
 6. Distribution after
Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with paragraph 3 will be distributed to Participant in whole Shares (or, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, in cash) on the Distribution Date, as provided in the Notice of
Grant, or if earlier, on the date of Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, subject to paragraphs 4 and 9 and the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 7. Death of Participant. In the event of Participant’s death, the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units (or, in the
Administrator’s sole discretion, cash in lieu of Shares) shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable after the date of death. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement shall, if Participant is
then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator or, if no such beneficiary has been designated or survives
Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the
validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. 
 8. Change in Control. In the
event of a Change in Control, the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units (or, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, cash in lieu of Shares) shall be distributed on the date of such Change in Control. 
 9. Withholding of Taxes. Participant will recognize taxable income on the Restricted Stock Unit Distribution Date (the “Tax
Date”). On the Tax Date, Participant will be required to pay an amount to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy its obligation to withhold any federal, state or other withholding taxes arising on the Tax Date. Unless as otherwise
determined by the Company, the Company shall withhold a portion of the Shares on the Tax Date that has an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to Participant’s minimum withholding tax obligations (rounded up to the nearest whole Share).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may require or otherwise allow Participant to pay such withholding taxes by (i) cash from Participant’s account at the broker designated by the Company for such purpose or
(ii) the selling of sufficient Shares on the Tax Date. 
 10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming
under or through Participant shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) shall
have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant
shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. 
 11. No Guarantee of Continued Employment. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN EMPLOYEE
AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED 
  

 2 







 
CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN EMPLOYEE FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN

Inc., 111 McInnis Parkway, San Rafael, CA 94903, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in paragraph 7, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of
law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any
attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately shall become null and void. 
 14. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement will be registered under U.S. federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon
receipt. However, Participant’s subsequent sale of the Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities
laws. 
 15. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
 16.
Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing
on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or federal
governmental agency, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the
Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience. 
 17. Plan Governs. This Agreement is
subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 
 18. Administrator Authority. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the
administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator shall be personally liable for any
action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. The Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine when such conditions have been fulfilled.

 19. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents
related to Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan or future Restricted Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby
consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. 
 20. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this
Agreement. 
 21. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such
provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, to comply with
Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant to this award of Restricted Stock Units. 
 23. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this award, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an award
of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

of law principles thereof. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this award of Restricted Stock Units or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such
litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Marin County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this award of Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be
performed.

future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when the Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, the number of Shares subject to each Restricted Stock Unit award, the purchase price per Share, and the time or times when Restricted Stock
Units shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (d) the value of this Restricted Stock Unit award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the
