the Notice of Grant at the per share price set forth on the Notice of Grant and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the 2010 Outside Directors’ Stock Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Company which is
incorporated herein by reference. The terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”). 
 1. Nature of the Option. This Option is a nonstatutory option and is not intended to qualify for any special tax benefits to the Optionee. 
 2. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of the
Plan as follows: 
 (i) Right to Exercise. 
 (a) [FOR AN INITIAL GRANT: This Option shall vest and become exercisable in installments cumulatively as to thirty four percent (34%), thirty three percent (33%) and thirty three percent
(33%), respectively, of the Optioned Stock on each of the three (3) succeeding years on the anniversary of such Option’s Date of Grant, for a total vesting period of approximately three (3) years, provided that the Director continues
to serve on the Board on such dates; provided, however, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable prior to the date the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan.] [FOR AN ANNUAL GRANT: This Option shall vest and become fully
exercisable on the date of the Company’s next Annual Meeting for a total vesting period of approximately one (1) year, provided that the Director continues to serve on the Board on such date.] 
 (b) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. 
 (c) In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of service as a Director, the exercisability of the Option is
governed by Section 8 of the Plan. 
 (ii) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written notice
which shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised. Such written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be
delivered in person or by U. S. mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate exercise price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised. 

 3. Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following,
or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: 
 (i) cash; 
 (ii) check; or 
 (iii) surrender of other shares which, in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, either have been owned by the Optionee for the minimum period necessary to avoid an adverse accounting charge to the Company or were not
acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised. 
 4. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of
payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulations, or if such issuance would not comply with the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares
may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation. 
 5. Non-Transferability of Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, this Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 
 6. Term of Option. This Option may be
exercised only within the Term set out on the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such Term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option. 
 7. Taxation Upon Exercise of Option. 
 TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY
DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, THE OPTIONEE IS ADVISED THAT, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY INDICATED, ANY FEDERAL TAX ADVICE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WAS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF (I) AVOIDING
TAX-RELATED PENALTIES UNDER THE CODE OR (II) PROMOTING, MARKETING OR RECOMMENDING TO ANOTHER PARTY ANY TAX-RELATED MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN. 

 Optionee understands that, upon exercise of this Option, he or she will recognize income for
tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Shares purchased over the exercise price paid for such Shares. Since the Optionee is subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
under certain limited circumstances the measurement and timing of such income (and the commencement of any capital gain holding period) may be deferred, and the Optionee is advised to contact a tax advisor concerning the application of
Section 83 in general and the availability of a Section 83(b) election in particular in connection with the exercise of the Option. Upon a resale of such Shares by the Optionee, any difference between the sale price and the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of exercise of the Option, to the extent not included in income as described above, will be treated as capital gain or loss. 
 8. General Provisions 
 (i) Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to
be given by either the Company or the Optionee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or deposited in the U.S. mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the to
the Company at its principal office to the attention of the Stock Plan Administrator, and to the Optionee at the Optionee’s last address reflected on the Company’s payroll records. 
 (ii) Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such
provision, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both parties hereunder are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to assert any other legal
remedy available to it. 
 (iii) The Optionee agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement. 
 (iv) OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF
OPTIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2 HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING SERVICE AS AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING GRANTED AN OPTION HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH
OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S DIRECTORSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

 AUTODESK, INC. 
 2010 OUTSIDE DIRECTORS’ STOCK PLAN 
 RESTRICTED
STOCK AGREEMENT 
 Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the 2010 Outside Directors’ Stock Plan (the
“Plan”) shall have the same defined meanings in this Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”). 
 WHEREAS in order to give the individual (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Award (the “Notice of Grant”) an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company as an incentive for the
Grantee to participate in the affairs of the Company, the Administrator has granted to the Grantee a Restricted Stock Award subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Notice of Grant, which are incorporated herein by reference, and
pursuant to this Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Stock. The Company hereby agrees to grant to the Grantee and the Grantee hereby agrees to acquire shares of the
Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”), as described in the Notice of Grant 
 2. Consideration. The
consideration for the Shares shall be the Grantee’s future services to the Company as an Outside Director. 
 3.
Repurchase Option. In the event the Grantee ceases to be an Outside Director for any or no reason (other than by reason of the Grantee’s death) before the Shares are released from the forfeiture provision (per Section 4, below), the
Shares shall be forfeited by the Grantee without any consideration therefor. In such event, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Grantee. Upon delivery of such notice, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the
forfeited Shares and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares forfeited to the Company. In the event of the Grantee’s death, the
Grantee’s Restricted Stock shall become vested as of the date of his or her death. 
 4. Release of Shares From
Forfeiture Provision. 
 (a) The Shares shall be released from the forfeiture provision at the Company’s first annual
stockholder meeting following the Date of Grant provided that the Grantee continues to be an Outside Director until the date of such release. 
 (b) Until the Shares have been released from the forfeiture provision, such Shares shall be referred to herein as “Unreleased Shares.” 
 (c) The Shares that have been released from the forfeiture provision shall be delivered to the Grantee. (per Section 6, below).

 5. Restriction on Transfer. Except for the transfer of the Shares to the Company or its assignees contemplated by this
Agreement, none of the Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way until such Shares are released from the forfeiture provision in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 6. Rights During Restriction. Subject to the terms hereof,
the Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Unreleased Shares, including without limitation, the right to vote the Unreleased Shares and to receive any cash dividends declared thereon provided, however, that any such
dividends payable with respect to the Unreleased Shares shall be paid to the Grantee at such time, and only to the extent that, such Shares for which the dividends are payable have vested and been released from the forfeiture provision. If, from
time to time during the term of the forfeiture provisions, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the Unreleased Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of
the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Grantee is entitled by reason of the Grantee’s ownership of the Unreleased Shares shall be immediately subject to the forfeiture provision of Section 4 and
included thereafter as “Shares” for purposes of this Agreement and the forfeiture provisions. 

 7. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares in this
Agreement shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan. 
 8. Tax Consequences. 
 TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, THE GRANTEE IS ADVISED THAT, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY INDICATED, ANY FEDERAL TAX
ADVICE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WAS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF (I) AVOIDING TAX-RELATED PENALTIES UNDER THE CODE OR (II) PROMOTING, MARKETING OR RECOMMENDING TO ANOTHER PARTY ANY TAX-RELATED
MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN. 
 The Grantee has reviewed with the Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and
foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Grantee understands
that the Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes as ordinary income the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” includes the possible forfeiture of Shares
pursuant to the forfeiture provisions. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are granted rather than when and as the forfeiture provisions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of grant. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto. 
 THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b). 
 9. General Provisions. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. This Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Notice of Grant, represents the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the acquisition of the Shares by the Grantee. Subject to Section 12(b) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement. 
 (b) Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by either the Company or the Grantee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when
delivered personally or deposited in the U.S. mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the Company at its principal office to the attention of the Stock Plan Administrator, and to the Grantee at the Grantee’s last address
reflected on the Company’s payroll records. 
 (c) The rights of the Company under this Agreement shall be transferable to
any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under this Agreement may only
be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company. 
 (d) Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both parties hereunder are cumulative and shall not constitute
a waiver of either party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it. 
 (e) The Grantee agrees upon request
to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement. 

 (f) GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO SECTION 4 HEREOF
IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING SERVICE AS AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET
FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH GRANTEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
GRANTEE’S DIRECTORSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 
 By Grantee’s signature below, Grantee represents that he
or she is familiar with the terms and provisions of the Plan, and hereby accepts this Agreement subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Grantee has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain
the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement. Grantee agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions
arising under the Plan or this Agreement. Grantee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence indicated in the Notice of Grant.
