RECITALS

THE PARTIES
ENTER THIS AGREEMENT on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions:



| | A. | Weyands currently serves as MSCs CEO and Chairman of the Board;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| | B. | MSC desires to continue to employ Weyand to carry out the duties and responsibilities described below, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this new
Employment Agreement.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | C. | Weyand desires to accept such employment with MSC on such terms and conditions.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals incorporated herein and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Retention and Duties.

1.1 Retention. MSC hereby hires, engages and employs Weyand for the Term (as defined in Section 2) on the terms and conditions
expressly set forth in this Agreement. Weyand hereby accepts and agrees to such hiring, engagement and employment, on the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement.

1.2 Duties. During the Term, Weyand shall serve as MSCs Chief Executive Officer (CEO) unless and until it
is otherwise determined by MSCs Board of Directors (the Board) that he shall serve in another senior executive capacity. In addition, throughout the Term, MSC shall nominate and use its reasonable best efforts to
elect and maintain Weyand as the Chairman of the Board (Chairman). During Weyands service as CEO, Weyand shall be principally responsible for the general supervision, direction and control of MSCs business and
officers, in each case subject to the Boards directives. While serving as CEO, Weyand shall have the general powers and duties of management usually vested in the offices of general manager and CEO of a corporation of the size and nature of
MSC and such other powers and duties as the



---

Board may assign from time to time, provided that such other duties are not inconsistent with his position as CEO. In no event, however, shall his
duties as Chairman be deemed inconsistent with his position as CEO for such purposes. For such period of time that Weyand does not serve as CEO, Weyands duties shall be (as may be determined from time to time by the Board) consistent with
Weyands position as a senior executive officer. Weyand shall also be subject to the corporate policies of MSC as they are in effect from time to time throughout the Term (including, without limitation, MSCs insider trading and ethics
policies, as they may change from time to time). During the Term, Weyand shall report solely to the Board.

1.3 No Other Employment;
Minimum Time Commitment. During the Term, Weyand shall both (x) devote substantially all his business time, energy and skill to the performance of Weyands duties for MSC, and (y) hold no other employment. Nothing herein shall
preclude Weyand from (i) continuing to serve on the boards of directors of companies or entities listed on Schedule 1 annexed hereto, (ii) serving on such other boards of directors of other business entities as the Board approves in
writing, (iii) engaging in a reasonable level of charitable activities and community affairs, including serving on boards of directors or the equivalent and (iv) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided that the activities
set forth in this Section 1.3 do not materially interfere with the effective discharge of his duties and responsibilities to MSC. MSC hereby agrees that Weyands service on the boards of directors of the entities listed on Schedule 1 and
the other entities approved by the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board shall not be deemed to be a violation of the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 7, 10 and 11 given the current scope and business
activities of those entities. However, MSC shall have the right to require Weyand to resign from any board or similar body which he may then serve if the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board reasonably determines in writing that
Weyands service on such board or body materially interferes with the effective discharge of Weyands duties and responsibilities to MSC or that any business related to such service is then in material competition with any business of any
entity within the Company Group (as such term is defined in Section 7).

1.4 No Breach of Contract. Weyand hereby
represents to MSC that to the best of Weyands knowledge: (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Weyand and MSC and the performance by Weyand of his duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene,
the terms of any other agreement or policy to which Weyand is a party or otherwise bound; (ii) that Weyand has no information (including, without limitation, confidential information and trade secrets) relating to any other person or entity
which would prevent, or be violated by, Weyand entering into this Agreement or carrying out his duties hereunder; (iii) that Weyand is not bound by any confidentiality, trade secret or similar agreement (other than this Agreement and the
Inventions Agreement referred to in Section 9) with any other person or entity.

extent that Weyand agrees to a salary reduction.

(e) Additional Conditions Precedent. Any obligation of MSC pursuant to Section 5.3(b), (c) or (d) to
pay a Severance Benefit in the circumstances described therein is further subject to the following two conditions precedent: (i) such Severance Benefit shall be paid only if, during the Term and prior to the date of such payment, Weyand has
remained in material compliance with the provisions of Sections 7 through 12 (or, having not been in material compliance, subsequently cures such noncompliance as provided below), and (ii) Weyands execution and delivery of the release
described in Section 5.4 (and such release has become irrevocable as provided therein); provided that, if Weyand provides the release described in Section 5.4, in no event shall Weyand be entitled to benefits pursuant to
Section 5.3(b), (c) or (d), as applicable, of less than $5,000 (or the amount of such benefits, if less than $5,000), which amount the parties agree is good and adequate consideration, in and of itself, for Weyands release
contemplated by Section 5.4. For purposes of the preceding sentence, if Weyand is not in material compliance with one or more provisions of Sections 7 though 12, and a cure is reasonably possible in the circumstances, Weyand will not be deemed
to have breached such provision(s) unless MSC gives Weyand written notice and a reasonable opportunity (in no case shall more than a 10-day cure period be required) to cure such breach and such breach is not reasonably cured within such time period.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not affect: (i) Weyands receipt of benefits otherwise due terminated
employees under group insurance coverage consistent with



---

the terms of the applicable Corporation welfare benefit plan; (ii) Weyands rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act to
continue participation in medical, dental, hospitalization and life insurance coverage; (iii) Weyands receipt of benefits otherwise due in accordance with the terms of MSCs 401(k) plan (if any); or (iv) any rights that Weyand
may have under and with respect to a stock option, restricted stock or other equity-based award, to the extent that such award was granted before the Termination Date and to the extent expressly provided in the written agreement evidencing such
award.

5.4 Release; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) This Section 5.4 shall apply notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement or any stock option, restricted stock, performance award, or other equity-based award agreement to the contrary. As a
condition precedent to any Corporation obligation to Weyand to pay a Severance Benefit pursuant to Section 5.3(b), (c) or (d) or any obligation to accelerate vesting of any equity-based award in connection with the termination of
Weyands employment, Weyand shall, upon or within twenty-one (21) days following his last day of employment with MSC, provide MSC with a valid, executed, written release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the
Release), and such Release shall have not been revoked by Weyand pursuant to any revocation rights afforded by applicable law. MSC shall have no obligation to make any payment to Weyand pursuant to Section 5.3(b),
(c) or (d) (or otherwise accelerate the vesting of any equity-based award in the circumstances as otherwise contemplated by the applicable award agreement) unless and until the Release contemplated by this Section 5.4 becomes
irrevocable by Weyand in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(b) Weyand agrees that the payments contemplated by
Section 5.3 (and any applicable acceleration of vesting of an equity-based award in accordance with the terms of such award in connection with the termination of Weyands employment) shall, if such payments are actually made and such
accelerated vesting is actually effected, constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of his employment and Weyand covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to any termination of
employment, except as allowed under the release contemplated by Section 5.4(a). MSC and Weyand acknowledge and agree that there is no duty of Weyand to mitigate damages under this Agreement and any compensation and benefits which Weyand is
entitled to hereunder shall not be offset by any compensation or other amounts received by Weyand from third parties or by the claims that MSC may have against Weyand. All amounts paid to Weyand pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be paid without
regard to whether Weyand has taken or takes actions to mitigate damages.

| | (ii) | any Incentive Bonus payable pursuant to Section 3.2 with respect to a fiscal year (if Weyand was employed by MSC

| | (i) | Weyand is convicted of, or pleads guilty or nolo contendre to, a felony within the meaning of such term by United States federal or state law (other than traffic related
offenses or as a result of vicarious liability);
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

securities laws involving MSC or one of its affiliates;

| | (iii) | Weyand willfully and repeatedly fails to perform his material fiduciary and other duties to MSC after having received written notice from MSC of such claimed failure;
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Weyand willfully engages in gross misconduct in carrying out his duties hereunder resulting in material economic harm to MSC;
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Weyand and MSC and the performance by Weyand of Weyands duties hereunder constitutes a breach by Weyand of, or otherwise

| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vi) | Weyand has information (including, without limitation, confidential information and trade secrets) relating to any other person or entity which Weyand is not legally and

For purposes of a termination for Cause, no act or failure to act, on Weyands part shall be considered
willful unless done, or omitted to be done, by Weyand not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Weyands action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of MSC.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Weyand shall not be terminated for Cause under paragraph 5.5(b)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or
(vii) unless he is given written notice setting forth the basis for termination and he is given fifteen (15) days to cure such neglect or conduct and, if he fails to cure such neglect or conduct, Weyand is given the opportunity to be heard

hardship on MSC, for more than 180 days in any 12-month period, unless a longer period is required by federal or state law, in which case that longer period would apply. The determination of whether or not a Disability exists for purposes of this
Agreement shall be based upon the findings of a medical doctor reasonably acceptable to both parties. If the two parties cannot agree on a medical doctor, each party shall select a medical doctor and the two medical doctors shall select a third who

limitation, any change in title or position other than as contemplated by Section 1.2); provided that it shall not constitute Good
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | the assignment by MSC of duties to Weyand that are materially inconsistent with his position as CEO or as an executive Chairman, as applicable;

| | (v) | Within 24 months of the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, any reduction in Weyands Base Salary, Target Bonus opportunity, or aggregate benefits levels;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provided, however, that none of the foregoing events shall constitute Good Reason unless Weyand shall have notified
MSC in writing describing the events which constitute Good Reason and MSC shall have failed to reasonably cure such event within a reasonable period, not to exceed fifteen (15) days, after MSCs actual receipt of such written notice.

other affiliates, as a result of which less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately after the reorganization are, or will be, owned, directly or indirectly, by MSCs stockholders

from the terminating party to the other party. The notice of termination shall indicate the specific provision(s) of this Agreement relied upon in effecting the termination.

7. Non-Competition. Weyand acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of MSCs businesses, the amount of sensitive and confidential information involved in the discharge of
Weyands position with MSC, and the harm to MSC that would result if such knowledge or expertise was disclosed or made available to a competitor. Based on that understanding, Weyand hereby expressly agrees as follows:

7.1As a result of the particular nature of Weyands relationship with MSC, in the capacities identified earlier in this Agreement, during
the Term and for the longer of (a) 12



---

months thereafter or (b) any period that Weyand is receiving payments pursuant to Section 5.3 (including any period such payments are delayed
pursuant to Section 29(b) hereof (for purposes of complying with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code)), Weyand hereby agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly,
(i) engage in any business for Weyands own account or derive any material economic benefit from any business that competes with the business of MSC or any of its affiliates (MSC and its affiliates are referred to, collectively, as the
Company Group), (ii) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of any entity within the Company Group, (iii) acquire a financial interest in

(iv) other than in the performance of his duties hereunder, interfere with business relationships (whether formed before or after the Effective Date) between MSC, any of its respective affiliates or subsidiaries, and any customers, suppliers,
officers, employees, partners, members or investors of any entity within the Company Group for the purpose of competing, or allowing a third party to compete, with the business of any entity of the Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement,
businesses in competition with the Company Group shall include, without limitation, businesses in which any entity within the Company Group actively participates and any businesses which any entity within the Company Group has specific plans to
actively participate in the future if Weyand is aware of such plans, whether or not such entity has commenced such operations.

7.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Weyand may, directly or indirectly, own, solely as an investment, (x) securities of any person which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on an
over-the-counter market if Weyand (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person, and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, beneficially own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities
of such person or (y) which is a mutual fund or similar investment vehicle.

for MSCs commitment to the terms of this Agreement, Weyand hereby agrees that Weyand will not at any time (whether during or after Weyands employment with MSC), other in the course of Weyands duties hereunder, knowingly disclose,
disclose in a fashion that Weyand reasonably should know the consequences of such disclosure, or use for Weyands own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation
or other business organization, entity or enterprise, any trade secrets, or other confidential data or information relating to customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial
data, financing methods, or plans of any entity within the Company Group; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to information which is generally known to the industry or the public, other than as a result of Weyands
breach of this covenant. Weyand further agrees that Weyand will not retain or use for his account, at any time, any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of any entity within
the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply when (i) disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee
thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Weyand to disclose or make available such information, provided, however that Weyand shall promptly notify MSC in writing upon



---

receiving a request for such information, or (ii) with respect to any other litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including but
not limited to enforcement of this Agreement.

partnership, firm, corporation or other entity then in competition with the business of any entity within the Company Group, and he will not otherwise materially interfere with any business relationship of any entity within the Company Group;
provided, however, that following the Term, the participation in, or ownership of, a competitive business shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be material interference under this Section 10.

11. Soliciting Employees. Weyand promises and agrees that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Weyand will not, directly or
indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or as an employee, officer, stockholder, director or other owner of or participant in any business, solicit (or assist in soliciting) any person who is then, or at any time within six (6) months

28. Indemnification.

(a) MSC agrees that (i) if Weyand is made a party, or is threatened
to be made a party, to any threatened or actual action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, appellate or other (a Proceeding) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer or employee of MSC or is or was serving at the request of MSC as a director, officer, member, employee, agent, manager, consultant or representative of another person or (ii) if any claim, demand, request, investigation, controversy,
threat, discovery request or request for testimony or information (a Claim) is made, or threatened to be made, that arises out of or relates to Weyands service in any of the foregoing capacities, whether arising
before or after the Effective Date, then Weyand shall promptly be indemnified and held harmless by MSC to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by MSCs certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Board resolutions or, if greater, by
the laws of the State of Delaware, against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees, judgments, interest, expenses of investigating, defending or obtaining indemnity with respect to any
Proceeding or Claim, penalties, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by Weyand in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Weyand even if he has ceased
to be a director, officer or employee of MSC or a director, officer, member, employee, agent, manager, consultant or representative of such other person and shall inure to the benefit of Weyands heirs, executors and administrators. To the
extent permitted by law, MSC shall advance to Weyand all costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with any such Proceeding or Claim within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice requesting such an advance. Such notice shall
include, to the extent required by applicable law, an undertaking by Weyand to repay the amount advanced if he is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification against such costs and expenses.

(b) Neither the failure of MSC (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination in connection with any
request for indemnification or advancement under Section 28(a) that indemnification of Weyand is proper because he has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by MSC (including its Board, independent legal counsel or
stockholders) that Weyand has not met any applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Weyand has not met an applicable standard of conduct.

(c) During the Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, MSC shall keep in place a directors and officers liability insurance policy (or policies) providing comprehensive coverage to Weyand to
the extent that MSC provides such coverage for any other present or former senior executive or director of MSC. Such policy shall be on terms not materially less favorable to Weyand than the terms of the policy then in effect on the Effective Date;
provided that in no event shall MSC be obligated to provide such level of coverage to the extent that the annualized cost of the coverage would exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the annualized cost of the coverage in effect on the Effective
Date.



---

29. Section 409A.

(a) It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury regulations and other published guidance relating
thereto) (Code Section 409A) so as not to subject Weyand to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to Weyand.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Weyand is a specified employee within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of Weyands Separation from Service, Weyand shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to Section 5.3 until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months
after Weyands Separation from Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of Weyands death. Any amounts otherwise payable to Weyand upon or in the six (6) month period following Weyands Separation from
Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 29(b) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after Weyands Separation from
Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of Weyands death). The provisions of this Section 29(b) shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the
imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A.

(c) To the extent that any benefits or reimbursements
pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 5.3(b)(iii), 5.3(c)(ii) or 5.3(d)(iv) are taxable to Weyand, any reimbursement payment due to Weyand pursuant to any such provision shall be paid to Weyand on or before the last day of Weyands taxable year
following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The benefits and reimbursements pursuant to such provisions are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that
Weyand receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that Weyand receives in any other taxable year.

The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable
installment of the Option and the rights and benefits under this Option Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or
mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 4 below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Option Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Grantees status, if he or she is an
employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantees other compensation.



| | 3. | Method of Exercise of Option.
| | -- | -----------------------------

The Option
shall be exercisable by delivery to the CFO of the Corporation (or such other person as the Administrator may require pursuant to such administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may implement from time to time) of a written notice
stating the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Option or by the completion of such other administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may require from time to time.

With respect to the foregoing, the Option shall be exercisable by:



| |  |  | payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in cash, check or by electronic funds transfer to the Corporation, or (subject to compliance
with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and listing requirements and further subject to such rules as the Administrator may adopt as to any non-cash payment) in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Grantee, valued at their fair market
value on the exercise date, provided, however, that any shares initially acquired upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise from the Corporation must have been owned by the Grantee for at least six (6) months before the date of such
exercise;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 8.5 of the Plan.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Administrator also may, but is not required to, authorize a non-cash payment alternative by notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator.

4.2 Termination of Option upon a Termination of Grantees Employment or Services. Subject to earlier
termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or pursuant to Section 4.1 above or Section 5.3 of Grantees Employment Agreement dated herewith (the Employment Agreement), if the Grantee ceases to be employed by or
ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the following rules shall apply (the last day that the Grantee is employed by or provides services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary is referred to as the Grantees
Severance Date):



| |  |  | other than as expressly provided below in this Section 4.2, (a) the Grantee will have until the date that is 3 months after his or her Severance Date to
exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent
exercisable for the 3-month period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-month period;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if the termination of the Grantees employment or services is the result of the Grantees death or Total Disability (as defined below), (a) the
Grantee (or his beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is 12 months after the Grantees Severance Date to exercise the Option, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance
Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 12-month period;
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if the Grantees employment or services are terminated by the Corporation without Cause (as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement) or by
Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement) within 24 months of the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement) then the vesting of the Option will
accelerate in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3 of the Employment Agreement.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of the Option,
Total Disabilityis as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement.

In all events the Option is subject to
earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 4.1. The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the Grantee continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Option Agreement.



| | 5. | Non-Transferability.
| | -- | --------------------

The Option and any
other rights of the Grantee under this Option Agreement or the Plan are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Grantee, except as set forth in Section 5.7 of the Plan.

| | -- | --------

Any notice to be given under the
terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Grantee at the address last reflected on the Corporations payroll records, or at such
other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage
and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Grantee is no longer employed by the Corporation or
a Subsidiary, shall be deemed to have been duly given five business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.



| | 7. | Plan.
| | -- | -----

The Option and all rights of the
Grantee under this Option Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. The Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement (including these Terms). The Grantee
acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Option Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Option Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority
on the Board or the Administrator do not and shall not be deemed to create any rights in the Grantee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by
appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.



---

| | 8. | Entire Agreement.
| | -- | -----------------

This Option Agreement
(including these Terms), the Plan and the Employment Agreement together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the
event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan, the Option Agreement and the Employment Agreement, the Plan shall be controlling and the Employment Agreement shall govern over any conflict with this Option Agreement. The Plan and this Option
Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not
adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

EXHIBIT B

MSC.SOFTWARE CORPORATION

2006 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS
STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT(this Agreement)is dated as of                      by and between MSC.Software
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Corporation), and William J. Weyand (the Participant).

W
I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS,pursuant to the MSC.Software Corporation 2006 Performance Incentive Plan (the
Plan), the Corporation has granted to the Participant effective as of the date hereof (the Award Date), a credit of stock units under the Plan (the Stock Unit Award or
Award), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE,in consideration of
services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

2. Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant a Stock Unit Award with respect
to an aggregate of 50,000stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Stock Units). As used herein, the term stock unit shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which
is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Stock
Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any
kind.

3. Vesting.Subject to Section 8 and Section 9 below, the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable
with respect to one-fourth of the total number of Stock Units (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Award Date.

4. Continuance of Employment. The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a
condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to
any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 8(a) below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participants status
as an employee at will who is



1



---

subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary,
interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Participants other
compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his consent thereto.

5. Dividend and Voting Rights.

(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units.The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend
Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the
Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the stock certificate.

(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights Distributions. In the event that the Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on its Common Stock and the related dividend payment record date occurs at any time after
the Award Date and before all of the Stock Units subject to the Award have either been paid pursuant to Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 8(a), the Corporation shall credit the Participant as of such record date with an
additional number of Stock Units equal to (i) the per-share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock with respect to such record date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of outstanding and unpaid Stock Units (including
any dividend equivalents previously credited hereunder) (with such total number adjusted pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan and/or Section 9 hereof) subject to the Award as of such record date, divided by (iii) the fair market value
of a share of Common Stock (as determined under the Plan) on such record date. Any Stock Units credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and
restrictions as the original Stock Units to which they relate. No crediting of Stock Units shall be made pursuant to this Section 5(b) with respect to any Stock Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid pursuant to
Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 8(a).

6. Restrictions on Transfer.Neither the Stock Unit
Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the
preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

7. Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units.On or as soon as administratively practical following each vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to Section 3, Section 8 or Section 9, the
Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal
to the number of Stock Units subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date, unless such Stock Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 8(a). The Corporations



2



---

obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the
Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan. The
Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 8(a).

8. Effect of Termination of Employment or Change in Control Event.

(a) Termination of Employment.
Subject to Section 8(b) below, the Participants Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested prior to the first date the Participant is no longer employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries,
regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participants employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock
Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participants beneficiary or personal
representative, as the case may be.

(b) Change in Control Event. If Participants employment or services are terminated
by the Corporation without Cause (as defined in Section 5.5 of Participants Employment Agreement of even date herewith (the Employment Agreement)), or by Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.5 of the
Employment Agreement) within 24 months of the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement) then the vesting of the award shall accelerate in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3 of the
Employment Agreement.

9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate payment and vesting of the
Stock Units in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation,
an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award.
No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are credited pursuant to Section 5(b).

10. Tax Withholding. Subject to Section 8.1 of the Plan, upon any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation shall automatically reduce the number of
shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value (with the fair market value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Plan), to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates. In the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding
obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant
and/or to deduct from other



3



---

compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.

11. Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation
at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the
other. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an employee of the Corporation, shall be deemed to have been duly given by the Corporation when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as
aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

12. Plan. The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the
Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Agreement. Unless
otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such
rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Plan and the Employment Agreement together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all
prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan, the Option Agreement and the Employment Agreement, the Plan shall be
controlling and the Employment Agreement shall govern over any conflict with this Option Agreement. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation.
The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent
waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

14. Limitation on Participants Rights.
Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither
the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the
Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

16. Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

18. Construction. It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Agreement shall be construed and
interpreted consistent with that intent.

MSC.SOFTWARE CORPORATION

2006 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is dated as of                      by and between
MSC.Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Corporation), and William J. Weyand (the Participant).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to the MSC.Software Corporation 2006 Performance Incentive Plan (the
Plan), the Corporation has granted to the Participant effective as of the date hereof (the Award Date), a credit of stock units under the Plan (the PSUs, Stock Unit Award or
Award), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of
services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

2. Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant a Stock Unit Award with
respect to an aggregate of 150,000stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) (the Stock Units). As used herein, the term stock unit shall mean a non-voting unit of
measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporations Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this
Agreement. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a
trust fund of any kind.

3. Vesting. Subject to Section 8 and Section 9 below, the total number of Stock Units
subject to the Award (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) shall be eligible to vest and become nonforfeitable based on the Corporations performance during the 24 month period ending with the 2008 fiscal operating period
(Performance Period). The Stock Units shall vest if and to the extent that the performance measures set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference are satisfied with respect to the Performance
Period; provided, however, that any vesting of the Stock Units with respect to the Performance Period shall be contingent upon the Participants continued employment by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries through the Determination Date (as
defined below) that follows such Performance Period. The vesting of the Stock Units shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Committee) within ten (10) business days
following the issuance of audited financial statements for the Performance Period. (The date on which the Committee makes such determination is referred to herein as the Determination



1



---

Date.)Any Stock Units that are eligible to vest with respect to the Performance Period and do not vest as of the Determination Date
shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of such Determination Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant. Any such terminated Stock Units shall not thereafter be considered
outstanding Stock Units for purposes of the Award, including (without limitation) for purposes of crediting dividend equivalents pursuant to Section 5(b) or acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section 8(b) or Section 9.

4. Continuance of Employment.The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as
a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant
to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 8(a) below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participants status
as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Participants other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended
to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his consent thereto.

5. Dividend and Voting
Rights.

(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units.The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder
of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in
respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of
issuance of the stock certificate.

(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights Distributions. In the event that the Corporation pays an
ordinary cash dividend on its Common Stock and the related dividend payment record date occurs at any time after the Award Date and before all of the Stock Units subject to the Award have either been paid pursuant to Section 7 or terminated
pursuant to Section 3 or Section 8(a), the Corporation shall credit the Participant as of such record date with an additional number of Stock Units equal to (i) the per-share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock with
respect to such record date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of outstanding and unpaid Stock Units (including any dividend equivalents previously credited hereunder) (with such total number adjusted pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan
and/or Section 9 hereof) subject to the Award as of such record date, divided by (iii) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock (as determined under the Plan) on such record date. Any Stock Units credited pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be subject to



2



---

the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Stock Units to which they relate. No crediting of Stock Units shall be
made pursuant to this Section 5(b) with respect to any Stock Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid pursuant to Section 7 or terminated pursuant to Section 3 or Section 8(a).

6. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither the Stock Unit Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be
sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or
(b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

7. Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units. On or as
soon as administratively practical following the vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to Section 3, Section 8 or Section 9, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock
(either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Stock Units subject to this Award that vest on the vesting date,
unless such Stock Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 8(a). The Corporations obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the
condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to
Section 8.1 of the Plan. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 3 or Section 8(a).

8. Effect of Termination of Employment or Change in Control Event.

(a) Termination of Employment. Subject to Section 8(b) below, the Participants Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such
units have not become vested prior to the first date the Participant is no longer employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participants employment with the Corporation or a
Subsidiary, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of
any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participants beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.

(b) Change in Control Event. If Participants employment or services are terminated by the Corporation without Cause (as defined in
Section 5.5 of Participants Employment Agreement of even date herewith (the Employment Agreement), or by Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement) within 24 months of the
occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5.5 of the Employment Agreement) then the vesting of the award shall accelerate in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3 of the Employment Agreement.

9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate payment and vesting
of the Stock Units in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporations stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without
limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of
the Award. No such adjustment shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are credited pursuant to Section 5(b). Furthermore, the Administrator shall adjust the performance measures set forth on
Exhibit A hereto to the extent (if any) it determines that the adjustment is necessary or advisable to preserve the intended incentives and benefits to reflect (1) any material change in corporate capitalization, any material corporate
transaction (such as a reorganization, combination, separation, merger, acquisition, or any combination of the foregoing), or any complete or partial liquidation of the Corporation, (2) any change in accounting policies or practices,
(3) the effects of any special charges to the Corporations earnings, or (4) any other similar special circumstances.

10. Tax Withholding. Subject to Section 8.1 of the Plan, upon any distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation shall automatically reduce the number of shares to be delivered by
(or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value (with the fair market value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan), to satisfy any
withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates. In the event that the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such
reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct
from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.

11. Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the
Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Corporations records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the
Participant is no longer an employee of the Corporation, shall be deemed to have been duly given by the Corporation when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or
certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

12.
Plan. The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan
and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer
discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth



4



---

herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under
the Plan after the date hereof.

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Plan and the Employment Agreement together
constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan, the Option Agreement
and the Employment Agreement, the Plan shall be controlling and the Employment Agreement shall govern over any conflict with this Option Agreement. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment
must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall
operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

14. Limitation
on Participants Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be
construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits
payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16. Section Headings. The section headings of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

17. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

18. Construction. It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to
Section 409A of the Code. The Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.

EXHIBIT D  TAX GROSS-UP PROVISIONS

1.1 Gross-Up Payment. In the event it is determined (pursuant to Section 1.2) or finally determined (as defined in Section 1.3(c)) that any
payment, distribution, transfer, or benefit by MSC, or a direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of MSC, to or for the benefit of Weyand or Weyands dependents, heirs or beneficiaries (whether such payment, distribution, transfer, benefit or
other event occurs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Exhibit D) (each a Payment and collectively the Payments) is
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any successor provision or any comparable provision of state or local income tax law (collectively, Section 4999), or any interest, penalty or addition to tax
is incurred by Weyand with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest, penalty, and addition to tax, hereinafter collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), then, within 10 days after such
determination or final determination, as the case may be (and in all cases not later than the end of Weyands taxable year next following the year in which Weyand remits the related taxes), MSC shall pay to Weyand (or to the applicable taxing
authority on Weyands behalf) an additional cash payment (hereinafter referred to as the Gross-Up Payment) equal to an amount such that after payment by Weyand of all taxes, interest, penalties, additions to tax and costs
imposed or incurred with respect to the Gross-Up Payment (including, without limitation, any income and excise taxes imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment), Weyand retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon such
Payment or Payments. This provision is intended to put Weyand in the same position as Weyand would have been had no Excise Tax been imposed upon or incurred as a result of any Payment.

1.2 Determination of Gross-Up.

(a) Except as provided in Section 1.3, the determination
that a Payment is subject to an Excise Tax shall be made in writing by the principal certified public accounting firm then retained by MSC to audit its annual financial statements (the Accounting Firm). Such determination
shall include the amount of the Gross-Up Payment and detailed computations thereof, including any assumptions used in such computations. Any determination by the Accounting Firm will be binding on MSC and Weyand.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Weyand shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
Federal individual income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. Such highest marginal rate shall take into account the loss of itemized deductions by Weyand and shall also include Weyands share of the
hospital insurance portion of FICA and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of individual income taxation in the state and locality of Weyands residence on the date that the Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in
Federal income taxes that could be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes.



---

1.3 Notification.

(a) Weyand shall notify MSC in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service (or any successor thereof) or any state or local taxing authority (individually or collectively, the Taxing
Authority) that, if successful, would require the payment by MSC of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 30 days after Weyand receives written notice of such claim and shall
apprise MSC of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid; provided, however, that failure by Weyand to give such notice within such 30-day period shall not result in a waiver or forfeiture of any of
Weyands rights under this Exhibit D except to the extent of actual damages suffered by MSC as a result of such failure. Weyand shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 15-day period following the date on which Weyand gives such
notice to MSC (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest, penalties or additions to tax with respect to such claim is due). If MSC notifies Weyand in writing prior to the expiration of such 15-day period
(regardless of whether such claim was earlier paid as contemplated by the preceding parenthetical) that it desires to contest such claim, Weyand shall:

(1) give MSC any information reasonably requested by MSC relating to such claim;

(2) take such action in
connection with contesting such claim as MSC shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by MSC;

(3) cooperate with MSC in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim; and

(4) permit MSC to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

provided, however, that MSC shall bear and pay directly all attorneys fees, costs and expenses (including additional interest, penalties and additions to tax) incurred in connection with such contest and shall
indemnify and hold Weyand harmless, on an after-tax basis, for all taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed in relation to such claim and in relation to the payment of such
costs and expenses or indemnification.

(b) Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3, and to the extent its
actions do not unreasonably interfere with or prejudice Weyands disputes with the Taxing Authority as to other issues, MSC shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, in its reasonable discretion, may pursue or
forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the Taxing Authority in respect of such claim and may, at its or in their sole option, either direct Weyand to pay the tax, interest or penalties claimed and sue
for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Weyand agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as MSC shall
determine; provided, however, that if MSC directs Weyand to pay such claim and sue for a refund, MSC shall advance an amount equal to such payment to Weyand, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold Weyand harmless, on an after-tax
basis, from all taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed with respect



26



---

to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance, as any such amounts are incurred; and, further, provided, that any
extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes, interest, penalties or additions to tax for the taxable year of Weyand with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount;
and, provided, further, that any settlement of any claim shall be reasonably acceptable to Weyand, and MSCs control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and Weyand shall
be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue.

(c) If, after receipt by Weyand of an amount advanced by MSC
pursuant to Section 1.3(a), Weyand receives any refund with respect to such claim, Weyand shall (subject to MSCs compliance with the requirements of this Exhibit D) promptly pay to MSC an amount equal to such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereof after taxes applicable thereto), net of any taxes (including, without limitation, any income or excise taxes), interest, penalties or additions to tax and any other costs incurred by Weyand in connection with such
advance, after giving effect to such repayment. If, after the receipt by Weyand of an amount advanced by MSC pursuant to Section 1.3(a), it is finally determined that Weyand is not entitled to any refund with respect to such claim, then such
advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall be treated as a Gross-Up Payment and shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of any Gross-Up Payment otherwise required to be paid.

(d) For purposes of this Exhibit D, whether the Excise Tax is applicable to a Payment shall be deemed to be finally determined
upon the earliest of: (1) the expiration of the 15-day period referred to in Section 1.3(a) if MSC has not notified Weyand that it intends to contest the underlying claim, (2) the expiration of any period following which no right of
appeal exists, (3) the date upon which a closing agreement or similar agreement with respect to the claim is executed by Weyand and the Taxing Authority (which agreement may be executed only in compliance with this section), or (4) the
receipt by Weyand of notice from MSC that it no longer seeks to pursue a contest (which shall be deemed received if MSC does not, within 15 days following receipt of a written inquiry from Weyand, affirmatively indicate in writing to Weyand that MSC
intends to continue to pursue such contest).

(e) Any reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section 1.3 incurred due to a tax
audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of the tax liability shall be made promptly after Weyand incurs the expenses and in all cases not later than the end of Weyands taxable year following Weyands taxable year in which
the related taxes are remitted to the taxing authority, or where as a result of such audit or litigation, no taxes are remitted, the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation. In
addition, with respect to the reimbursement of any expenses pursuant to this Section 1.3 which are not incurred due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of tax liability, such expenses shall be paid to Weyand promptly
after Weyand incurs the expenses and in all cases not later than the end of Weyands taxable year following the taxable year in which Weyand incurs such expenses, and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during Weyands
taxable year may not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.

1.4 Underpayment and Overpayment.
It is possible that no Gross-Up Payment will initially be made but that a Gross-Up Payment should have been made, or that a Gross-Up



27



---

Payment will initially be made in an amount that is less than what should have been made (either of such events is referred to as an
Underpayment). It is also possible that a Gross-Up Payment will initially be made in an amount that is greater than what should have been made (an Overpayment). The determination of any
Underpayment or Overpayment shall be made by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 1.2. In the event of an Underpayment, the amount of any such Underpayment shall be paid to Weyand as an additional Gross-Up Payment. In the event of an
Overpayment, Weyand shall promptly pay to MSC the amount of such Overpayment together with interest on such amount at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code for the period commencing on the date of the
Overpayment to the date of such payment by Weyand to MSC. Weyand shall make such payment to MSC as soon as administratively practicable after MSC notifies Weyand of (a) the Accounting Firms determination that an Overpayment was made and
(b) the amount to be repaid.

EXHIBIT E

FORM OF RELEASE

EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Employment Separation and General Release Agreement (this Separation Agreement), is entered into this
         day of             ,              by and between William J. Weyand, an
individual (Weyand), and MSC.Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (MSC).

WHEREAS,
Weyand has been employed as the Chief Executive Officer and/or Chairman of MSC since February 9, 2005, and has entered into a new agreement on
[, 2008] regarding his ongoing employment in such capacity (Employment Agreement); and

WHEREAS, Weyand and MSC have mutually agree to terminate Weyands employment relationship with MSC upon the terms set forth

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants undertaken and the releases contained in this Separation Agreement, Weyand and MSC agree as follows:

I. Termination. Weyands position as an officer, director, employee, member, manager and in any other capacity with MSC and each of its affiliates
is hereby terminated effective, 20 (Separation Date), and all benefits and perquisites of employment will cease as of the Separation Date. The Employment Agreement shall terminate as of the Separation Date, provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sections 3.4, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and 7 through 28 of the Employment Agreement shall continue to apply in accordance with their terms. All payments due to Weyand from MSC shall be
determined under the applicable provisions of the Employment Agreement and this Agreement. Weyand acknowledges and agrees that, upon receipt of all payments due to him on or before the Separation Date, he will have received all amounts owed for his
regular and usual salary (including, but not limited to, any severance, overtime, bonus, commissions, or other wages), usual benefits and accrued but unused vacation through the Separation Date and that all payments due to Weyand from MSC after the
Separation Date shall be determined under this Separation Agreement.

II. Severance Benefit. MSC shall pay as severance pay to Weyand the
amount of                      dollars
($                    ), less standard withholding and authorized deductions (the Severance Benefit), as determined under
Section 5.3 of the Employment Agreement. Such severance shall be paid at the times provided in and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.3 of the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that if it is determined by the
parties or in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Weyand and MSC, such determination to be made or opinion provided to MSC no later than thirty (30) days after the Separation Date, that the Severance Benefit is or reasonably may be
treated as deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), except in the case of Weyands death, the payment of such Severance Benefit shall be
delayed (without interest) to a date no earlier than, and shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable after (and in all events no more



---

than thirty (30) days after), the date that is six months after Weyands separation from service, as that term is defined in
Section 409A. Such Severance Benefit is for and in lieu of any other payments or benefits (and, except as specifically provided herein, none shall accrue) for periods after the Separation Date, except with respect to his continuing rights in
certain equity awards made pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and the PSU Award Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement) as acknowledged in Section VII.D hereof. Weyand specifically
acknowledges and agrees that he is entitled to receive no severance pay or other benefits pursuant to any severance plan or policy of MSC or any of its affiliates.

III. Release. Weyand on behalf of himself, his descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and successors, and each of them, hereby covenants not to sue and fully releases and discharges MSC and each of
its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, past and present (together, the Company Group), as well as its and their trustees, directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents, attorneys, insurers, employees,
stockholders, representatives, assigns, and successors, past and present, and each of them, hereinafter together and collectively referred to as the Releasees, with respect to and from any and all claims, wages, demands,
rights, liens, agreements, contracts, covenants, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, costs, expenses, attorneys fees, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether
now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, which he now owns or holds or he has at any time heretofore owned or held or may in the future hold as against any of said Releasees, arising out of or in any
way related to his service as an officer, director, employee, member or manager of any member of the Company Group, his separation from his position as an officer, director, employee, manager and/or member, as applicable, of any member of the
Company Group, or any other transactions, occurrences, acts or omissions or any loss, damage or injury whatever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of said Releasees, or any of them,
committed or omitted prior to the date of this Separation Agreement related to Weyands employment or service with any member of the Company Group, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Family Rights Act, or any claim for
severance pay, bonus, sick leave, holiday pay, vacation pay, life insurance, health or medical insurance or any other fringe benefit, workers compensation or disability; provided that such release shall not apply to (1) any
obligation created by or arising out of this Separation Agreement for which receipt or satisfaction has not been acknowledged, (2) any right to indemnification that Weyand may have pursuant to MSCs Bylaws, its certificate of incorporation
or under the Employment Agreement with respect to any loss, damages or expenses (including but not limited to attorneys fees) that Weyand may in the future incur with respect to his service as an employee, officer or director of MSC or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates, (3) with respect to any rights that Weyand may have to insurance coverage for such losses, damages or expenses under any MSC directors and officers liability insurance policy, (4) any right under a written
equity-based award agreement entered into by and between MSC and Weyand before the Separation Date to the extent that such right continues after the Separation Date in accordance with the terms of the award, (5) the right of Weyand to obtain
contribution as permitted by law in the event of an entry of judgment against Weyand as a result of any act or failure to act for which Weyand and MSC are jointly liable, (6) any rights to



30



---

continued medical coverage that Weyand may have under COBRA, (7) any rights to payment of benefits that Weyand may have under a retirement plan
sponsored or maintained by MSC that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (8) any deferred compensation or supplemental retirement benefits that Weyand may be entitled to under a
nonqualified deferred compensation or supplemental retirement plan of MSC.

IV. 1542 Waiver. It is the intention of Weyand in executing this
instrument that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action hereinabove specified. In furtherance of this intention, Weyand hereby expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon him by
the provisions of SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE and expressly consents that this Separation Agreement shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those related to unknown
and unsuspected claims, demands and causes of action, if any, as well as those relating to any other claims, demands and causes of action hereinabove specified. SECTION 1542 provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Weyand acknowledges that he may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which
Weyand now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Separation Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Separation Agreement, may have materially affected this settlement. Nevertheless,
Weyand hereby waives any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts. Weyand acknowledges that he understands the significance and consequences of such release and such specific waiver
of SECTION 1542.

V. ADEA Waiver. Weyand expressly acknowledges and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, he is waiving any and all
rights or claims that he may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, which have arisen on or before the date of execution of this Separation Agreement. Weyand further expressly acknowledges and agrees that:

A. In return for this Separation Agreement, he will receive consideration beyond that which he was already entitled to receive before
entering into this Separation Agreement;

B. He is hereby advised in writing by this Separation Agreement to consult with an attorney
before signing this Separation Agreement;

C. He was given a copy of this Separation Agreement on
                    , 20 and informed that he had twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Separation Agreement; and

D. He was informed that he had seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Separation Agreement in which to revoke this Separation
Agreement.



31



---

VI. No Transferred Claims. Weyand warrants and represents that he has not heretofore assigned or
transferred to any person not a party to this Separation Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof and he shall defend, indemnify and hold MSC and each of its affiliates harmless from and against any claim (including the payment
of attorneys fees and costs actually incurred whether or not litigation is commenced) based on or in connection with or arising out of any such assignment or transfer made, purported or claimed.

VII. Miscellaneous

A. Successors.

This Separation Agreement is personal to Weyand and shall not, without the prior written consent of MSC, be assignable by Weyand.

This Separation Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon MSC and its respective successors and assigns and any such
successor or assignee shall be deemed substituted for MSC under the terms of this Separation Agreement for all purposes. As used herein, successor and assignee shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business
entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires the ownership of MSC or to which MSC assigns this Separation Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

B. Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Separation Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall be, a
waiver of any other breach of this Separation Agreement. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party waiving the breach.

C. Modification. This Separation Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written agreement executed by Weyand and the Chief Executive Officer of MSC or his designee, or if Weyand is then Chief Executive
Officer, an officer authorized by the Board.

D. Complete Agreement. This Separation Agreement constitutes and
contains the entire agreement and final understanding concerning Weyands relationship with MSC and its affiliates and the other subject matters addressed herein between the parties, and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all
agreements proposed or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matters. Any representation, promise or agreement not specifically included in this Separation Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be binding upon or
enforceable against either party. This Separation Agreement constitutes an integrated agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section VII.D, MSCs rights under the Employment Agreement (including, without limitation, the
confidentiality and no solicitation provisions thereof), the Inventions Agreement by and between Weyand and MSC and entered into on or about February 10, 2005 (the Inventions Agreement), and any written equity-based
award agreement entered into by and between MSC and Weyand before the Separation Date pursuant to which Weyand has rights that continue after the Separation Date in accordance with the terms of the award are each outside of the scope of the
foregoing provisions of this Section VII.D and shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms.



32



---

E. Severability. If any provision of this Separation Agreement or the application thereof
is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Separation Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Separation Agreement are

work made for hire for the Company. To the extent the Company does not own such work product as a work made for hire, Employee hereby assigns to Company all rights in such work product, including, but not limited to, all patent rights, copyrights,
trade secret rights and any other intellectual or industrial property rights of any kind throughout the world. Such assignment by Employee to Company shall include, but not be limited to, all reproduction rights, distribution rights, public display

| | (b) | Employee shall disclose any Invention promptly in writing to Employees immediate supervisor at the Company, with a copy to the President of the Company to enable the
Company to determine whether it constitutes an Invention which is subject to the rights granted to the Company by this Agreement regardless of whether Employee believes the Invention to be within the exclusion set forth in Section 1 (d) of
this Agreement. The Company shall protect such disclosures to the same extent that it protects its own proprietary information.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Employee agrees to execute all documents reasonably requested by the Company to further evidence the foregoing assignment and to provide all reasonable
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



38



---

| | assistance to the Company in perfecting or protecting the Companys rights in such work product.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Employee agrees, upon request by the Company, to assist the Company or its nominee (at Companys expense) in every reasonable way during and at any time after
Employees employment to procure a patent or copyright registration for the Invention and defend the Companys or its nominees title to any Inventions in any and all countries, which patents or copyrights shall be and remain the sole
and exclusive property of the Company or its nominee.

|5. | PRIOR INVENTIONS. It is understood that all inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which Employee made prior to employment by the Company or employment by any
corporation or business enterprise to which the Company is or becomes a successor are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. The Employee warrants that Employee has inserted in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof a complete list of
all prior inventions of Employee, if any, including numbers of all patents and patent applications, and in the case of unpatented inventions, a brief description of all such inventions which are not the property of a previous employer. Employee
agrees that an invention(s) listed in Schedule A does not mean the Company waives any rights the Company may have to freely develop the same or similar items itself or rights the Company may have under this Agreement to any invention made or
conceived by Employee as defined in this Agreement. Employee agrees that the Company has made no independent evaluation of Employees work to date and that the Company is unable to reach any determination as to the scope of Employees
efforts regarding these inventions or the extent to which Employee may have rights in these inventions which would be enforceable. To the extent Employee feels he or she has rights in the inventions, the Company will rely on Employee to protect
those rights in and not disclose to the Company or cause the Company to use information which is in fact proprietary to Employee and to which the Company has no rights under the Agreement. Employee further warrants that, if no items are on the list,
Employee has had no such prior inventions. IF NO INVENTIONS, SO INDICATE BY YOUR INITIALS: /s/ WJW

of the employment of Employee.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
