 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 Autodesk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the optionee (the “Optionee”), named on the Notice of Grant of
Stock Options (the “Notice of Grant”) which is attached hereto an option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth on the Notice of Grant at the price set forth on the Notice of Grant and in all
respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Company’s stock option plan stated in the Notice of Grant (as applicable, the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. The terms defined in the Plan shall
have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement. 
 1. Nature of Option. If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive
Stock Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Otherwise, this Option is a nonstatutory stock option and will not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. 
 2. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the provisions in Section 9 of the Plan as
follows: 
 (i) Right to Exercise. 
 (a) Subject to subsections 2(i)(b) and (c) and Section 4 below, this Option shall vest and become exercisable over the period and at the rate set forth on the Notice of Grant. 
 (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 employment or other service relationship, the exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 4, 5, and 6 below. 
 (ii) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written or electronic notice (as determined by the Administrator), which shall state
the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holders’ investment intent with respect to such shares of Common Stock as may
be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such notice shall be properly completed and delivered in such manner as the Administrator may determine (including electronically). Payment of the exercise price may only be made in
such manner as described in Section 3 below, and if appropriate, shall accompany the written notice. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company (or its designated representative) of the exercise notice and
completion of payment of the exercise price. 
 No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such
exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may be listed. 

 3. Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by (i) cash, (ii) check,
(iii) surrender of other shares of Common Stock of the Company, which either have been vested and owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and in
either case have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised or (iv) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to
an agent of the Company to sell the Shares and promptly deliver to the Company that portion of the sale proceeds required to pay the exercise price (and any applicable withholding taxes). 
 4. Termination of Status as an Employee. If Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee, he or she may, but only within three (3) months after
the date of such cessation (but in no event later than the expiration date of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), exercise this Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such cessation. To the extent
that he or she was not entitled to exercise this Option as the date of such cessation, or if he or she does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 5. Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 above, if Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee as a result of his
or her total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or she may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such cessation (but in no event later than the expiration date of the Option as set
forth in the Notice of Grant), exercise his or her Option to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such cessation. To the extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of cessation, or if he or
she does not exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 6. Death of Optionee. In the event
of the death of Optionee during the term of this Option and while an Employee, the Option shall become fully exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise by exercisable and may be exercised, at any time within twelve
(12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance. To the extent the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 7.
Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred 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. 
 8. 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. 
 9. Tax Consequences. Some of the U.S. federal tax consequences relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below. THIS
SUMMARY RELATES TO U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES ONLY AND IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
 (i) Exercising the Option. 
 (a)
Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a NSO. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of
the Fair Market Value of the Exercised 

 Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price; provided, however, that if Exercised Shares are sold
on the date of exercise, then, for those Exercised Shares that have been sold, the Optionee will be treated as having compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the sale price of the Exercised Shares
over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. 
 (b) Incentive Stock Option. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, the Optionee will have no regular federal income tax liability upon its exercise,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to alternative minimum taxable income for federal tax purposes and may subject
the Optionee to alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. In the event that the Optionee ceases to be an Employee but remains a Service Provider, any Incentive Stock Option of the Optionee that remains unexercised shall cease to qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the date three (3) months and one (1) day following such change of status. 
 (ii) Disposition of Shares. 
 (a) NSO. If
the Optionee holds NSO Shares for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. 
 (b) ISO. If the Optionee holds ISO Shares for at least one year after exercise and two years after the grant date, any gain realized on disposition of
the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If the Optionee disposes of ISO Shares within one year after exercise or two years after the grant date, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the lesser of (A) the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares acquired on the date of exercise and the aggregate Exercise Price, or
(B) the difference between the sale price of such Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price. Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term or long-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held. 
 (iii) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an ISO on
or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one year after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or she may be subject to
income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized from such early disposition of ISO Shares by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to the Optionee. 
 (iv) Withholding Taxes. Optionee agrees to comply with all requirements of the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
Optionee) in order to satisfy all Federal, state, and local income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to
deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. 
 (v) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of
Incentive Stock Option Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an Incentive Stock Option, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option on or before the later of
(1) the date two years after its date of grant (as provided in the Notice of Grant), or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, 

 the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be
subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee. 
 10. Entire Agreement; Governing
Law. The Plan, this Option Agreement and the Notice of Grant constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and
Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This Option Agreement is governed by California law except for that
body of law pertaining to conflict of laws. 
 11. No Guarantee of Employment. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF
SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING SERVICE AS AN EMPLOYEE AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES 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 SERVICE ENGAGEMENT 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 SERVICE RELATIONSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
 (i) Exercising the Option. 
 (a) Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a NSO. The Optionee will be treated as having
received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price; provided, however, that if Exercised
Shares are sold on the date of exercise, then, for those Exercised Shares that have been sold, the Optionee will be treated as having compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the sale price of the
Exercised Shares over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an

 (b) Incentive Stock Option. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, the Optionee will have no regular federal income tax liability upon its exercise,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to alternative minimum taxable income for federal tax purposes and may subject
the Optionee to alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. In the event that the Optionee ceases to be an Employee but remains a Service Provider, any Incentive Stock Option of the Optionee that remains unexercised shall cease to qualify as an

grant date, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the lesser of (A) the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares
acquired on the date of exercise and the aggregate Exercise Price, or (B) the difference between the sale price of such Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price. Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term or long-term
depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held. 
 (iii) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Optionee sells or
otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an ISO on or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one year after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of
such disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or she may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized from such early disposition of ISO Shares by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to

retaining Optionee) in order to satisfy all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements as well as social security charges applicable to the Option exercise or the disposition of any Shares acquired upon
exercise. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company (and/or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) to withhold all applicable taxes legally payable by Optionee from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid
to Optionee by the Company (and/or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) or from proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option in an amount sufficient to cover such tax obligations. Optionee acknowledges

purposes of determining the Award (if any) payable to each Participant. Each Payout Formula (a) shall be set forth in writing on or prior to the Target Determination Cutoff Date, (b) shall provide for the payment of a Participant’s
Award if the Performance Goals for the Performance Period are achieved, and (c) may provide for an Award payment greater than or less than the Participant’s Target Award, depending upon the extent to which the Performance Goals are
achieved. Notwithstanding the preceding, in no event shall a Participant’s Award for any Performance Period exceed the Maximum Award. 
 8) Payout Determination; Award Payment. 
 (a) Payout Determination and Certification. On the Payout Determination
Date, the Committee shall certify in writing (which may be by approval of the minutes in which the certification was made) the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period were achieved or exceeded.
The Award for each Participant shall be determined by applying the Payout Formula to the level of actual performance that has been certified by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may eliminate or reduce the Award payable to any Participant below that which otherwise would be payable under the Payout Formula. 
 (b)
Right to Receive Payment. Each Award under the Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right
to payment of an Award other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. 
 (c)
Form of Distributions. The Company shall distribute all Awards to the Participant in cash. 
 (d) Timing of Distributions.
Subject to Section 8(e) below, the Company shall distribute amounts payable to Participants as soon as is practicable following the determination and written certification of the Award for a Performance Period, but in no event later than 2 1/2 months after the end of the applicable Performance Period. 
 (e) Deferral. The Committee may defer payment of Awards, or any portion thereof, to Participants as the Committee, in its discretion, determines
to be necessary or desirable to preserve the deductibility of such amounts under Section 162(m). In addition, the Committee, in 
  

 5 

 its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash that would otherwise be delivered
to a Participant under the Plan. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 9) Term of Plan. The Plan shall first apply to the Company’s fiscal year 2006 Plan Year. The Plan shall terminate with respect to the fiscal 2006 Plan Year and all subsequent Plan Years unless it is
approved at the 2005 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Once approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Plan shall continue until terminated under Section 10 of the Plan. 
 10) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time,
including adopting amendments deemed necessary or desirable to correct any defect or to supply omitted data or to reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award granted hereunder; provided, however, that no amendment, alteration, suspension
or discontinuation shall be made which would (i) impair any payments to Participants made prior to such amendment, modification, suspension or termination, unless the Committee has made a determination that such amendment or modification is in
the best interests of all persons to whom Awards have theretofore been granted; provided further, however, that in no event may such an amendment or modification result in an increase in the amount of compensation payable pursuant to such Award or
(ii) cause compensation that is, or may become, payable hereunder to fail to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. To the extent necessary or advisable under applicable law, including Section 162(m), Plan amendments shall be subject
to stockholder approval. At no time before the actual distribution of funds to Participants under the Plan shall any Participant accrue any vested interest or right whatsoever under the Plan except as otherwise stated in this Plan. 
 11) Withholding. Distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to all applicable federal and state tax and withholding requirements.

 12) At-Will Employment. No statement in this Plan should be construed to grant any employee an employment contract of fixed
duration or any other contractual rights, nor should this Plan be interpreted as creating an implied or an expressed contract of employment or any other contractual rights between the Company and its employees. The employment relationship between
the Company and its employees is terminable at-will. This means that an employee of the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason or no reason. 
 13) Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the
Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. 
 14) Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a
party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to 
  

 6 

 act under the Plan or any award, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the
Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the
same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
 15) Nonassignment. The rights of a Participant under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or the
laws of intestacy. 
 16) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
