This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the Grant Date as indicated on the equity
award summary provided with this Agreement by and between Mentor Graphics Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and you pursuant to the Mentor Graphics Corporation 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The
material terms of this Agreement are as follows: 
  

	1.	Grant of Restricted Stock Units. 

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants you an award of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) with respect to shares of
the Company’s common stock. The grant of RSUs obligates the Company, upon vesting in accordance with this Agreement, to issue to you one share of common stock for each RSU. The number of the RSUs granted to you is indicated on the equity award
summary provided with this Agreement. By accepting this award of the RSUs, you agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any appendices to this Agreement and the Plan. 

 

	2.	Vesting of RSUs. 

 2.1
Except as provided in 2.2, 2.3 or 8.2, the RSUs under this Agreement shall become vested for 25% of the shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date shown on the equity award summary, so that these RSUs will be fully vested on
the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date. 
 2.2 To the extent this grant of RSUs is less than 50% vested at your death or
Disability (as defined in 14.5), this grant shall automatically be vested to a total of 50% of the full RSU grant. 
 2.3 The
RSUs shall become 100% vested if a Change in Control (as defined in 14.1) occurs and at any time after the earlier of the Approval Date (as defined in 14.2), if any, or the Change in Control and on or before the first anniversary of the Change in
Control, (a) your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in 14.3), (b) your employment is terminated by you for Good Reason (as defined in 14.4), or (c) your employment terminates as a result of your death
or Disability; provided, however, that the RSUs may also become 100% vested in connection with a Change in Control as provided in 8.2. 
  

	3.	Nature of Grant. 

 3.1
Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant you understand, acknowledge and agree that: 
 3.1.1 the Plan is established
voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; 

3.1.2 the grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of
RSUs, or benefits in lieu of the RSUs, even if the RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past; 
 3.1.3 all decisions with
respect to future grants of the RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
 3.1.4 your participation in the
Plan shall not create a right to further employment with your employer (the “Employer”) and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment relationship at any time; 

3.1.5 you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

3.1.6 the RSUs and the shares of common stock subject to the RSUs are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any
kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary of the Company, and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any; 

3.1.7 the grant of the RSUs and the shares of common stock subject to the RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or
compensation; 
 3.1.8 the RSUs and the shares of common stock subject to the RSUs are not part of any normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or
similar payments and in no event should be considered compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; 

3.1.9 the grant of the RSUs and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with
the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; 
 3.1.10 the future value of the underlying shares of common stock is
unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
 3.1.11 no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from
forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of your employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which you are
otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive your ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to
request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; 
 3.1.12 in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in
breach of local labor laws), your right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandate under local law (e.g.,
employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer employed for purposes of your RSU grant; 

 

 1 

 3.1.13 in the event of termination of your employment for any reason, the RSUs that are not
vested at that time, and that do not become vested under 2.2 or 2.3 as a result of the circumstances of your termination, shall be forfeited and you shall have no right to receive the underlying shares of common stock; and 

3.1.14 except as provided in section 8.2 below, the RSUs and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to
another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability. 
 3.2 No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company
is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of common stock. You are hereby advised to consult with
your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 
  

	4.	Non-Assignability of RSUs. 

The RSUs may not be assigned or transferred except on death, by will or operation of law. 

 

	5.	Delivery of Shares 

 As
soon as practicable on or after the date on which the RSUs become vested, the Company will issue to you the number of shares of common stock underlying the RSUs that vested, and will deliver such shares to a brokerage account established by you in
accordance with instructions from the Company or in such other manner as may be determined by the Company. 
  

	6.	Tax Withholding 

 6.1 If
you are a U.S. taxpayer, you acknowledge that on each date that shares underlying the RSUs are issued to you (the “Payment Date”), the fair market value of the shares of common stock will be treated as ordinary compensation income for U.S.
federal and state income and FICA tax purposes, and that the Company will be required to withhold taxes on these income amounts pursuant to section 6.3 below. 

6.2 Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you even if technically due by the Company or the Employer
(“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the
Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the RSUs,
the subsequent sale of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under not obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any
aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant
taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 

6.3 Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the
Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a
combination of the following: 
 6.3.1 withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or the
Employer; or 
 6.3.2 withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of common stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the
RSUs, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on your behalf pursuant to this authorization; or 

6.3.3 withholding in shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs. 

6.4 To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum
statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of common stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of
common stock subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of common stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan. 

6.5 Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required
to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of common stock if you
fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
  

	7.	Data Privacy. 

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal
data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number,
salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all the RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of common stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the
exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data will be transferred to Fidelity, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is
assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United
States) may have different data privacy laws and protections from those of your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources
representative. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the
Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your
participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case
without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your
refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

	8.	Changes in Capital Structure. 

8.1 If, prior to the full vesting of all the RSUs awarded under this Agreement, the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares, or dividend payable in shares,
appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Administrator”) in the number and kind of shares subject to the unvested RSUs under this Agreement so that your proportionate
interest before and after the occurrence of the event is maintained. Fractional shares will be disregarded. Any such adjustment made by the Administrator shall be conclusive. 

8.2 If, prior to the full vesting of all the RSUs awarded under this Agreement, there shall occur a merger, consolidation, or plan of
exchange involving the Company pursuant to which outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are converted into cash, other securities or other property, or a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all, or substantially all, the assets of the Company, then either: 
 8.2.1 the unvested RSUs shall be converted
into restricted stock units of the surviving or acquiring corporation in the applicable transaction, with the amount and type of shares to be issued under such converted restricted stock units to be determined by the Administrator, taking into
account the relative values of the companies involved in the applicable transaction and the exchange rate, if any, used in determining shares of the surviving corporation to be held by holders of shares of the Company following the applicable
transaction; or 
 8.2.2 the unvested RSUs shall become 100% vested and all underlying shares shall be issued simultaneously with
the closing of the applicable transaction such that you will participate as a shareholder in receiving proceeds from such transaction with respect to those shares.

Securities Law Information. The grant of the RSUs is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under
section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. You should note that the RSUs are subject to section
257 of the SFA and you will not be able to make (i) any subsequent sale of the shares of common stock in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale of the shares of common stock subject to the RSUs in Singapore, unless such sale

 SPAIN 

No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation. The following provision supplements section 3 of the Agreement: 

By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan document. 

 

 8 

 You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant
RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be officers and employees of the Company and any subsidiary of the Company throughout the world. The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs will
not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary, including the Employer, on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition
that the RSUs shall not become part of any employment contract (whether with the Company or any subsidiary, including the Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any
other right whatsoever. Furthermore, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from the grant of RSUs, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the RSUs and the
underlying shares of common stock is unknown and unpredictable. You also understand that this grant of RSUs would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions set forth hereinabove; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that,
should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the RSUs and any right to the underlying shares of common stock shall be null and void.

Tax and National Insurance Contributions Acknowledgment. The following provisions supplement section 6 of the Agreement: 

You agree that if you do not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of Tax-Related Items that you owe due to the
vesting of the RSUs, or the release or assignment of the RSUs for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSUs (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified
in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan
will bear interest at the HMRC’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in section 6 of the Agreement. You also
authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any shares of common stock to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that
you are an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax
and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in section 6
of the Agreement. 
 Joint Election for Transfer of Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions to You. The following provision is
added to the Agreement: 
 As a condition of the issuance of shares of common stock upon vesting of the RSUs and delivery of such shares of
common stock to you, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions (“Employer NICs”), which may be payable by the Company or the Employer in connection with the right to acquire shares under the
Plan, the assignment or release of the RSUs for consideration or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSUs. To accomplish the foregoing, you agree to make an election between you and the Company and/or the Employer (the
“Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such Election by HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and provided to you by the Company, and to execute such other consents or elections required to accomplish the transfer of
the Employer NICs to you. You further agree to enter into such other joint elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. You hereby authorize the Company and the Employer to withhold such Employer
NICs by any of the means set forth in section 6 of the Agreement. 
  

 9 

 You agree to enter into an Election prior to the vesting of any RSUs you receive pursuant to this grant. If
you do not enter into the Election, if approval of the Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, or if such Election is jointly revoked by you and the Company or the Employer, as applicable, the RSUs shall, at the discretion of the Company and without
any liability to the Company or the Employer, cease vesting and become null and void.

(a) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of: 

(i) any consolidation, merger or plan of share exchange involving the Company (Merger) in which the Company is not
the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock

(ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or
substantially all, the assets of the Company; or 
 (iii) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company; 
 (b) at any time during a period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors (Incumbent Directors) shall cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless each new director elected during such two-year period was nominated
or appointed by two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then in office and voting (new directors nominated or appointed by two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors shall also be deemed to be Incumbent Directors); or 

 

 1 

 (c) any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1934 Act) shall, as a result of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, have become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act),

Securities. 
  

	4.	No Voting or Dividend Rights.

the RSUs until the underlying Common Stock is issued to the Recipient. 
  

	5.	Non-Assignability of RSUs. 

The RSUs may not be assigned or transferred except on death, by will or operation of law. 

 

	6.	Delivery of Shares. 

 As
soon as practicable on or after the date on which the RSUs become vested, the Company will issue to the Recipient the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs that vested, and will deliver such shares to a brokerage account established
by the Recipient in accordance with instructions from the Company or in such other manner as may be determined by the Company. 
  

	7.	Changes in Capital Structure. 

If, prior to the full vesting of all the RSUs awarded under this Agreement, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares, or dividend payable in shares,
appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Administrator”) in the number and kind of shares subject to the unvested RSUs under this Agreement so that the
Recipient’s proportionate interest before and after the occurrence of the event is maintained. Fractional shares will be disregarded. Any such adjustment made by the Administrator shall be conclusive. 

 

	8.	Successorship. 

 Subject
to the limits in 2.1, this Agreement will be binding upon and benefit the parties, their successors and assigns. 
  

	9.	Miscellaneous. 

 9.1 This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and may be amended only by written agreement between the Company and Recipient.
