 WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to definitively resolve, fully and finally, all
differences, disputes and claims Mr. Brigeman might have against the Company and anyone connected with it through and including the Execution Date, including, but not limited to, those arising out of or relating to Mr. Brigeman’s
employment relationship with Schwab and the termination thereof. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Mr. Brigeman hereby agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT 

1. Resignation of Positions. Mr. Brigeman will step down as a Schwab Officer, from any and all Schwab directorships he holds,
and from the Operating Council effective as of February 15, 2012 and will be deemed to have resigned his employment as of August 15, 2012, his last day of actual work (“Separation Date”). Mr. Brigeman acknowledges and agrees
that with the exception of his accrued vacation or floating holidays and his paychecks for the pay periods after he signs this Agreement through August 15, 2012, he has received all earned wages and compensation due to him as a result of his
employment as Executive Vice President, Schwab Investor Services with, and services as an officer and director of, the Company. 

2. Consideration. Subject to and upon satisfaction by Mr. Brigeman of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
Schwab agrees to provide Mr. Brigeman the following consideration, to which he is not otherwise entitled: 
  

	 	(i)	 Schwab will continue to employ Mr. Brigeman, which it is not otherwise obligated to do, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

  
 1. 

	 	
Mr. Brigeman’s employment with Schwab will end on the earlier of: 1) his Separation Date or 2) a date resulting from a violation by Mr. Brigeman of his obligations set forth in this
Agreement. The date Mr. Brigeman’s employment ends will be his Separation Date. During the period commencing on February 15, 2012 and ending on his Separation Date, Mr. Brigeman shall perform such duties as are assigned to him by
Walt Bettinger, Chief Executive Officer and shall report solely to Mr. Bettinger regarding those duties. Mr. Brigeman agrees to comply with all Company policies (including but not limited to human resources, information security,
compliance, the Code of Business Conduct, and all Compliance policies on outside business activities), up through and including his Separation Date. In the event Mr. Brigeman fails to comply with all Company policies or violates the terms of
this Agreement, the Company will notify him of such failure to comply or violation of this Agreement and, if applicable, will provide him with the opportunity to cure the failure to comply or violation within 20 days. In the event such failure or
violation cannot be cured or, if able to be cured, Mr. Brigeman fails to cure within 20 days, his employment will be deemed terminated immediately. In such event, all remaining payments and benefits due to Mr. Brigeman under this Agreement
shall cease immediately and he will not receive any payments under Paragraph 2 (ii) or the Additional Consideration set forth in Paragraph 4. 

  

	 	(ii)	Schwab will pay Mr. Brigeman a payment of Two Million Nine Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred and Four Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2,966,804.50), less usual
and customary taxes, withholding, and authorized deductions as long as Mr. Brigeman does not accept any position or otherwise begin to act in any capacity with a company or entity that is a Competitor Business (“Competitor Business”
is defined for purposes of this Agreement as the business entities listed or described in Exhibit A) for twelve (12) months following his Separation Date. Schwab will advance two (2) payments of $988,934.75 each (less applicable taxes)
payable on or before December 30, 2012 and March 15, 2013. If Mr. Brigeman accepts or otherwise begins to act in any capacity with a company or entity that is a Competitor Business before twelve (12) months from his Separation
Date, he will be required to repay Schwab the gross amount of these payments because he does not earn these payment until twelve (12) months from his Separation Date, as long as he has not worked for a Competitor Business. If he does not work
for a Competitor Business during the twelve (12) months after his Separation Date, he also will receive a final payment of $988,934.75 (less applicable taxes) on or about August 20, 2013. 

3. Entire Consideration. Mr. Brigeman acknowledges that Schwab is under no obligation to provide the consideration to him
pursuant to Paragraph 2 and will do so only subject to his agreement to, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement. Mr. Brigeman agrees that the amount and promises set forth in Paragraph 2 shall constitute the entire consideration
provided to him under this Agreement, and that Mr. Brigeman shall not seek any further compensation or other consideration for any other claimed damage, costs, or attorneys’ 

  
 2. 

 
fees in connection with the matters encompassed in this Agreement. Mr. Brigeman expressly agrees that he waives any such rights or benefits in exchange for the rights and benefits provided
under this Agreement. Mr. Brigeman acknowledges and agrees that he is not eligible for or entitled to any severance benefits under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan or under any other severance or termination pay or benefits arrangement
with Schwab. 
 4. Additional Consideration. If Mr. Brigeman executes (and does not revoke) the Supplemental Waiver
and Release Agreement attached as Exhibit B to the Agreement on or within five (5) business days after his Separation Date, Schwab will provide additional consideration as follows: Schwab will pay Mr. Brigeman a lump sum payment of
Forty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars and Forty-Five Cents ($47,675.45), less usual and customary taxes, withholding and authorized deductions each month for twelve consecutive months beginning on August 31, 2012 through
July 31, 2013 for a total of $572,105.44 (“Additional Consideration”). 
 5. No Other Employee Benefits.
Mr. Brigeman is not eligible for any other benefits or payments not specifically provided for in this Agreement. Upon reaching the Separation Date, in accordance with federal and state regulations, Mr. Brigeman will be offered the
opportunity to continue receiving certain insured group benefit coverage, such as medical benefits, for a period of time not to exceed eighteen (18) additional months, provided Mr. Brigeman pays the appropriate premiums for the coverage
and returns the necessary paperwork. 
 6. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan. Mr. Brigeman’s active
participation in The SchwabPlan Retirement Savings & Investment Plan shall cease as of August 15, 2012. Mr. Brigeman will not receive matching contributions or any discretionary profit sharing for 2012. Mr. Brigeman’s
vested interest in Company contributions (other than matching contributions, which are automatically fully vested) will be determined based on his service through the Separation Date. 

7. The Charles Schwab Corporation Stock Incentive Plans. Mr. Brigeman will continue to vest in any stock options previously
granted until his Separation Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Plan documents. Under the provisions of The Charles Schwab Corporation stock incentive plans, Mr. Brigeman retains the right to exercise vested
options for a specific period of time after his Separation Date. Any stock options that are not vested as of his Separation Date are immediately canceled. The applicable Stock Option Agreement(s) and Plan documents govern the vesting and exercising
of stock options. Mr. Brigeman will continue to vest in any performance-based restricted stock units granted to him until the Separation Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Plan documents. Performance-based
restricted stock units not vested as of Mr. Brigeman’s Separation Date will be forfeited as provided by the applicable Plan documents. The Award Agreement(s) and Plan documents govern the performance-based restricted stock units.

 8. Tax Treatment. Each of the payments to be made under Paragraph 2(ii) and Paragraph 4 are designated as separate
payments for Internal Revenue Code Section 409A purposes. Mr. Brigeman understands and agrees that Schwab is providing no tax or legal advice, 

  
 3. 

 
and makes no representations regarding tax obligations or consequences, if any, related to any part of this Agreement. Mr. Brigeman further agrees that he will assume any such tax
obligations or consequences that may arise from this Agreement, and he shall not seek any indemnification from Schwab in this regard. Mr. Brigeman further agrees to indemnify and hold Schwab harmless from any claims, demands, deficiencies,
levies, assessments, executions, judgments, penalties, taxes, attorneys’ fees or recoveries by any governmental entity against Schwab for any failure by Mr. Brigeman to pay taxes due and owing, if any, as a result of any payments under
this Agreement. 
 9. Early Termination Date. Mr. Brigeman understands and agrees that if he accepts a position as
an employee, acts as an independent contractor, consultant or sole proprietor, or acts as an officer, director, or partner in another public or privately held company at any time prior to August 15, 2012, he will notify Jay Allen, EVP, Human
Resources (xxx) xxx-xxxx immediately. If Mr. Brigeman accepts any such position or otherwise begins to act in any such capacity with a company or entity that is not a Competitor Business (as set forth in Exhibit A) then
Mr. Brigeman’s Separation Date will be deemed to be the earlier of August 15, 2012 or the next business day following his acceptance of such position, and his salary and benefits as an active employee shall cease as of such date.
Mr. Brigeman will then be eligible to receive payments set forth under Paragraphs 2(ii) and 4, less usual and customary taxes, withholding and authorized deductions, on the dates set forth therein, provided he meets any eligibility requirements
applicable to such payments hereunder. If Mr. Brigeman accepts any such position or otherwise begins to act in any capacity with a Competitor Business at any time prior to twelve (12) months from his Separation Date, his Separation
Date will be deemed to be the earlier of August 15, 2012 or the next business day following his acceptance of such position and all remaining payments (including the Additional Consideration) and benefits under this Agreement shall cease
immediately. In addition, any payments made pursuant to Paragraph 2(ii) will be required to be repaid to Schwab in their entirety because Mr. Brigeman has not earned the payments until twelve (12) months from his Separation Date (if it has
not already occurred), as long as he has not worked for a Competitor Business. If Mr. Brigeman undertakes any activities in violation of this paragraph 9, or this Agreement, his Separation Date will be accelerated immediately and all payments
and benefits from the Company to Mr. Brigeman under this Agreement (and the Additional Consideration) shall cease as of the new Separation Date. 
 10. No Filings. Mr. Brigeman represents that as of the Execution Date, he has not filed any action, claim, charge, or complaint against Schwab or any other Releasee identified in Paragraph 11
below, with any local, state, or federal agency, self-regulatory organization (“SRO”), or court and that he will not make such a filing at any time hereafter based upon any events or omissions occurring prior to and up to the Execution
Date. In the event that any agency or court assumes jurisdiction of any lawsuit, claim, charge or complaint, or purports to bring any legal or regulatory proceedings against Schwab or any other Releasee identified in Paragraph 11 below on
Mr. Brigeman’s behalf, he promptly will request that the agency, SRO, or court withdraw from or dismiss the lawsuit, claim, charge, or complaint with prejudice, and in any event, waives his right to any form of recovery or relief in any
such proceedings, including legal fees. 

  
 4. 

 11. Complete Release by Mr. Brigeman. Mr. Brigeman – for himself and
for his heirs, representatives, attorneys, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns – releases Schwab, and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, parent corporations, and stockholders, officers, directors, partners, servants,
agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, employee welfare and retirement plans and the respective plan administrators and fiduciaries, past, present, and future, all persons acting under, by, through, or in concert with any of them, and each

attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred), of whatever character, in law or in equity, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, of any kind or nature whatsoever, based on any act, omission, event, occurrence, or
nonoccurrence from the beginning of time up to and including the Execution Date of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claims or causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to Mr. Brigeman’s employment relationship

those for age discrimination arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. sec. 621, et seq.), as amended. Mr. Brigeman understands and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions and covenants in this
Paragraph, nothing in this Agreement is intended to constitute an unlawful release or waiver of any of his rights under any laws and/or to prevent, impede, or interfere with his ability and/or right to challenge the validity of this release. This
paragraph is not intended to limit Mr. Brigeman from pursuing an action for the sole purpose of enforcing this Agreement. 

12. Release of Unknown Claims. For the purpose of implementing a full and complete release, Mr. Brigeman expressly
acknowledges that the releases he gives in this Agreement are intended to include, without limitation, claims that he did not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of the effective date of this Agreement, regardless of whether the
knowledge of such claims, or the facts upon which they might be based, would materially have affected the settlement of this matter; and that the consideration given under the Agreement was 

  
 5. 

 
also for the release of those claims and contemplates the extinguishment of any such unknown claims. In making this waiver, Mr. Brigeman acknowledges that he may hereafter discover facts in
addition to or different from those which he now believes to be true with respect to the subject matter released herein, but agrees that he has taken that possibility into account in reaching this Agreement and that, notwithstanding the discovery or
existence of any such additional or different facts, Mr. Brigeman fully, finally, and forever settles and releases any and all such claims. 
 13. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties, and their heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, successors, insurers, and assigns, and shall inure to the
administrators, predecessors, successors, and assignees of each of the Parties. 
 14. Indemnification. Nothing in this
Agreement (including the release contained herein) shall be construed to limit Mr. Brigeman’s right to indemnification or contribution pursuant to Delaware or California law or the Company’s bylaws arising from actions taken in the
scope of his employment with the Company. 
 15. No Attorney’s Fees and Costs. The Parties will bear their own
respective costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with negotiation and execution of this Agreement. 
 16. Non-Disparagement. Mr. Brigeman agrees that he will not make any disparaging or defamatory statements, either orally or in writing (and, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term
“writing” includes but is not limited to electronic communications) to any third party (a) concerning Schwab or any Releasee, (b) concerning its or their officers, directors, employees or agents, (c) concerning its or their
services, products, offerings, quantitative or other research, or methods of communicating such services, products or offerings, or its or their technology, operations processes, methods of doing business, or employment practices, or (d) that
may tend to disrupt, impair, or otherwise interfere with the Schwab’s or any Releasee’s business, reputation, or relationships with its employees, clients, agents, representatives, or vendors. Mr. Brigeman further agrees to refrain
from acting as a source (attributable or otherwise) or engaging in any formal or informal dialogue with the press or media regarding his experiences with or at the Company or any Releasee, or its or their past or present directors, officers, or
employees, or regarding any information he may have acquired (first hand or otherwise) concerning operations, technology, marketing or advertising strategies or plans, financial performance, salary or incentive compensation practices, recruitment or
retention strategies, employment practices, negotiation strategies, vendors, current or former employees, internal or external investigations, or internal policies and procedures of the Company or any Releasee. Nothing in this paragraph is intended
to interfere with Mr. Brigeman’s ability to provide truthful testimony pursuant to paragraph 17 below. 
 17.
Cooperation. Mr. Brigeman agrees not to encourage or assist in any litigation against Schwab or any Releasee or provide testimony in any matter in which Schwab or any Releasee has an interest unless he is required by law to do so.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

  
 6. 

 
Mr. Brigeman agrees that he will cooperate fully with the Company or any Releasee, or any corporate affiliate of any Releasee (specifically including any attorneys retained by the Company or
any of the Releasees) in connection with any pending or future matter (including but not limited to any audit, tax proceeding, litigation, arbitration, external or internal investigation, or government proceeding) in which or to the extent the
Company reasonably deems his cooperation necessary. Mr. Brigeman acknowledges and agrees that such cooperation may include, but shall in no way be limited to, being available for interviews with the Company or any of the Releasees, or any
attorneys or agents retained by the Company or any of the Releasees, providing to the Company or any of the Releasees any documents in his possession or under his control relating to the matter, and providing sworn statements and/or testimony in
connection with the matter. Mr. Brigeman agrees to appear and give testimony as a witness in any judicial, administrative, quasi-governmental, or investigatory proceeding as requested by the Company or any Releasee. Mr. Brigeman also
agrees, upon request by the Company or any Releasee, to provide information that he learned during the course of the employment relationship with the Company. Mr. Brigeman further agrees to travel if necessary to give testimony in any
regulatory proceeding, arbitration, or litigation. The Company will reimburse him for reasonable travel expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) in accordance with the Company’s travel expense policies then in effect. To the
extent permitted by the respective matter, the Company or any Releasee, in good faith, will attempt to accommodate and minimize the disruption to Mr. Brigeman’s post-Company employment obligations. In the event Mr. Brigeman provides a
sworn statement or testimony, either as required by legal process or at the Company’s or any Releasee’s request, Mr. Brigeman agrees to do so in good faith and fully, accurately and truthfully, to the best of his ability.
Mr. Brigeman agrees and understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent, impede, or interfere with his ability to respond to any inquiry or participate in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (“EEOC”), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), any other self-regulatory organization, or any other federal or state governmental agency or
regulatory authority. Mr. Brigeman further agrees to notify the Company promptly of any demand or legal process that seeks to cause him to disclose: confidential information about the Company or any Releasee, including any information covered
by his Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Intellectual Property Ownership Agreement, and further agrees to cooperate fully with the Company or any Releasee if it decides to challenge the demand or legal process seeking such disclosure. If
Mr. Brigeman is served with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process concerning any of the matters referenced above or in any proceeding in which the Company or any Releasee is a party or has an interest, he agrees to notify the Company
within two (2) business days after receipt of such process and, in any event, no less than ten (10) business days in advance of any required appearance or production. Notice to be given under this provision to the Company or any Releasee
shall be to: Jay Allen, EVP, Human Resources, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., 211 Main Street, SF211MN-201, San Francisco, CA 94105-1905. 
 18. Confidential Information. Mr. Brigeman agrees that he remains bound by the Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Intellectual Property Ownership Agreement that he signed or electronically
acknowledged as a condition of his employment. In exchange for the valuable 

  
 7. 

 
consideration offered herein, he agrees and reconfirms his obligation to abide by the Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Intellectual Property Ownership Agreement, which is attached hereto as
Exhibit C and is incorporated as if fully set forth herein. 
 19. Injunctive Relief. Mr. Brigeman acknowledges and
agrees that the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 16, 17, and 18 are material inducements to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and necessary to protect the good will, trade secrets, and confidential and proprietary
information of the Company. Mr. Brigeman further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in these Paragraphs are reasonable in scope and duration, will not prevent him from earning a livelihood during the applicable period of restriction,
are necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any breach by Mr. Brigeman of any provision contained in Paragraphs 16, 17, or 18 will result in immediate irreparable injury to the Company for which a remedy at law
will be inadequate. Accordingly, Mr. Brigeman acknowledges that the Company shall be entitled to seek permanent injunctive relief against him in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Mr. Brigeman of the provisions of Paragraphs
16, 17, or 18 in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company, whether at law or in equity. The provisions of Paragraphs 16, 17, and 18 shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect following the Separation Date. It is
the intention of the Parties to this Agreement that the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 16, 17, and 18 be given the broadest interpretation permitted by law. 

20. Return of Confidential and Proprietary Information. Mr. Brigeman acknowledges that he will return by his Separation Date
to Schwab any and all property, files, materials, records, manuals, written communications, or other items (including hard copy and electronic documents, disks, and files) that he received, obtained and/or created as part of his employment
(excluding information Mr. Brigeman received about insured benefits, welfare plans, equity grants (including the plan under which those awards are granted), retirement plan information, payroll information regarding Mr. Brigeman, and
special awards) or that are in his possession or control belonging to Schwab or any of the Releasees, including but not limited to company sponsored credit cards or calling cards, pagers, handheld devices, computer software or hardware (including
iPads), keys, and identity badges. Mr. Brigeman agrees that in the event he later locates any such document or materials, he will return it to Schwab immediately. 
 21. Breach of Agreement. If Mr. Brigeman undertakes any activities in violation of Paragraphs 2 (ii), 9, 16, 17, or 18 or otherwise breaches any of his obligations under this Agreement, his
Separation Date will be accelerated immediately and all payments and other benefits conferred under this Agreement (with the exception of his final paycheck and any accrued but unused vacation and floating holidays) shall cease; provided, however,
that such breach by Mr. Brigeman and/or cessation of payments and benefits by the Company will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Parties’ commitments under this Agreement (including but not limited to
Mr. Brigeman’s general release and waiver of claims contained herein). 
 22. Company Policies.
Mr. Brigeman confirms that, as of the date he executes this Agreement, to the best of his knowledge, there is no commission or omission of any act by any 

  
 8. 

 
employee or agent of the Company that constitutes, or might reasonably constitute, a violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Compliance Manual, or the Company’s
legal obligations of which he is aware (or reasonably should have been aware), that has not already been brought to the Company’s attention or that Mr. Brigeman can reasonably expect to have been brought to the Company’s attention.
Mr. Brigeman agrees that he will as promptly as reasonably possible notify the Company of any such acts or omissions to act that occurred during and relating to Mr. Brigeman’s employment with the Company and or come to his attention
after the date he executes this Agreement. 
 23. Employment Verification. Mr. Brigeman agrees that he will direct
all inquiries from prospective employers or others seeking verification of employment to the current EVP of Human Resources (presently, Jay Allen). Mr. Brigeman agrees that in the event he directs an inquiry to someone other than the current
EVP of Human Resources to respond to requests for reference and employment verifications for Schwab, Schwab will not be liable for any disclosures made in response to such inquiries that deviate from the procedures set forth herein. 

24. Corporate Approvals. This Agreement has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The Charles
Schwab Corporation (the “Compensation Committee”) and shall be effective upon the Effective Date. 
 25. Agreement
is Knowing and Voluntary. Mr. Brigeman understands and agrees that he:

not be effective or enforceable and Mr. Brigeman will not receive the benefits provided herein; and 

  

	 	h.	is receiving under this Agreement consideration that is in addition to anything to which he is already entitled.

actual or purported transfer or assignment. 
 29. Non-Admission of Liability. Mr. Brigeman acknowledges that the
execution of this Agreement and the payment of consideration hereunder are not and shall not be construed in any way as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of Schwab, or any other person or business entity. Mr. Brigeman further

Date of Electronic Signature: 06/03/2008 17:13:24 PM EST 
 I AM ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN CONSIDERATION FOR my initial or continued at-will employment with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., its parent company and/or its subsidiaries, affiliates,
joint venturers, and successors (collectively, “Schwab”), and the compensation and other benefits I receive from Schwab, including my participation in bonus and incentive compensation plans for which I am eligible. Acknowledging the
receipt and adequacy of this consideration, and intending to be legally bound, I agree as follows: 
  

	 	a.	that I will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and Intellectual Property, as defined below, that I develop or obtain while I work at Schwab;

  

	 	b.	that Schwab owns all Confidential Information and Intellectual Property, and that I will not assert any claim to the Confidential Information and/or Intellectual
Property; and 

  

	 	c.	that I will not solicit or encourage Schwab’s employees or Schwab’s current or prospective clients to leave Schwab. 

The scope of these obligations, and some of the possible consequences for breaching them, are described in more detail below. 

 

	 	1.	Protection of Schwab’s Confidential Information and Intellectual Property. While working at Schwab, I will develop and/or have access to Schwab’s
Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property, as defined in Paragraph 2. I acknowledge that Confidential Information and Intellectual Property is the exclusive property of Schwab, its business partners, licensors, and/or clients, and I
agree not to assert any claim to it. Except as permitted in Paragraph 7, I agree not to use or disclose any Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property during or after my employment with Schwab. 

	 	2.	What is Schwab Confidential Information and Intellectual Property? “Confidential Information” is all information learned during my employment that is
not generally known to the public at the time it is made known to me. It includes, but is not limited to: “Trade Secrets” and “Developments,” as defined below; names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, account numbers or
financial information pertaining to Schwab clients or prospective clients; proprietary software designs and hardware configurations; proprietary technology; business methods or strategies; new product and service ideas; marketing, financial,
research and sales data; information sufficient to identify clients, vendors, or personnel; client, vendor or personnel lists, contact, account and related information; and all information Schwab treats or is obligated to treat as confidential,
privileged, or for internal use only, whether or not owned by Schwab. “Trade Secrets” is any information that (i) has economic value from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable through proper means by, other
persons who can obtain economic value from its use; and (ii) Schwab takes reasonable steps to protect as secret. “Intellectual Property” is Schwab’s copyrighted materials, trademarks, service marks, logos, patents, Trade Secrets,
and other intellectual property and proprietary rights. 

  

	 	3.	Agreement Not to Solicit. While I work for Schwab and for 18 months after my employment ends, I will not directly or indirectly solicit or induce: (a) any
existing or prospective Schwab clients I serviced or about whom I gained Confidential Information (other than those listed in Exhibit A) in an attempt to divert, transfer, or otherwise take away business or prospective business from Schwab; and/or
(b) any Schwab employee or contingent worker to leave his or her employment or engagement with Schwab. 

  

	 	4.	Removal and Return of Schwab Property. I will not remove any Schwab property, including any Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property, in original or
copied form, in either electronic or hardcopy form, except as required for me to carry out my job duties while employed by Schwab. Upon termination of my employment with Schwab for any reason, my acceptance of other employment, or at Schwab’s
request, I will immediately return to Schwab all Schwab property and documents, including but not limited to Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property; any Schwab-issued credit cards, security badges, keys and Secure ID tokens; and all
Schwab-issued electronic and telephonic equipment including but not limited to computers, mobile phones, personal data assistants, CD-ROMs, DVDs, floppy disks, Zip drives, USB storage devices, flash drives, memory cards, or other electronic devices
(“Electronic Devices”). 

  

	 	5.	Obligation to Protect Confidential Information and Intellectual Property. I will promptly notify Schwab if I become aware of or suspect any unauthorized use or
disclosure of Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property by me or anyone else, whether intentional or accidental. 

  

	 	6.	Schwab’s Ownership of Intellectual Property “Developments.” 

 

	 	a.	 Disclosure of Developments While Employed by Schwab. I will promptly disclose in confidence to Schwab all inventions, improvements, designs,
original works of authorship, and processes, including but not limited to all computer software programs and databases, whether or not protected or capable of protection under intellectual property or other laws, as well as all works based upon,
derived from, reduced from, collecting, containing or making use of any of the foregoing or of any other Confidential Information or Intellectual Property of Schwab (collectively, “Developments”) that I create, make, conceive,

	 	
implement, or first reduce to practice, either alone or with others, while I am employed by Schwab, and: (a) result from any work I perform for Schwab, whether or not in the normal course of
my employment or during normal business hours; (b) reasonably relate to the actual or anticipated business, research or development of Schwab; or (c) are developed with the use of Schwab resources, facilities, Confidential Information
and/or Intellectual Property. 

  

	 	b.	Help in Confirming Ownership. I must promptly disclose Developments to Schwab whether or not the Developments are patentable, copyrightable, or protectable as
Trade Secrets. I agree all Developments will be the exclusive property of Schwab, and I irrevocably assign to Schwab all rights, title, and interest I may have or acquire in and to the Developments and the right to secure registrations, renewals,
reissues, and extensions in the Developments. I will sign any documents and do all things necessary, whether during my employment or after, to assist Schwab to register, perfect, maintain and enforce Schwab’s rights in any Developments, without
any additional compensation. If I fail or refuse for any reason to sign any document Schwab requires to perfect its ownership of the Developments, I appoint Schwab as my attorney-in-fact (this appointment to be irrevocable and to be a power coupled
with an interest) to act on my behalf and to execute all such documents. 

  

	 	c.	State Laws Relating to Ownership of Developments. I understand if I am or become a California resident while employed by Schwab, then this Paragraph 6 will not
apply to any Developments which fully qualify under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement. To the extent other similar laws may apply to residents of other states, the terms of Paragraph 6 shall be
limited solely to the extent provided by the applicable laws of such states. 

  

	 	d.	Pre-Existing Intellectual Property. To the extent I have any pre-existing patent, trademark, or copyright registrations, I have listed them in Exhibit C. I
understand Schwab does not want to use any other person’s intellectual property unlawfully. I agree to indemnify and hold Schwab harmless against any liability, and pay any loss or expense Schwab incurs, arising out of any claim that I
misappropriated or infringed proprietary rights of a former employer or any other third party. 

  

	 	7.	Permissible Disclosure of Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property. I can only use or disclose Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property
to the extent: (a) necessary to perform my job duties at Schwab; (b) I receive advance written permission from an authorized senior or executive officer of Schwab; (c) I am legally compelled by subpoena or other legal process to
disclose the Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property, subject to the procedures in Paragraph 9; or (d) disclosure is sought by a government entity, regulatory agency, or self regulatory organization, subject to the procedures in
Paragraph 9. I understand that Schwab’s policy prohibits departing employees from taking client lists and account information. 

  

	 	8.	Questions About Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property. If I am unsure whether information is Confidential Information and/or Intellectual
Property, I will treat it as Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property unless I receive advance written permission from an authorized senior or executive officer of Schwab. 

	 	9.	 Subpoenas and Other Legal Requests for Disclosure. I will give Schwab prompt notice in writing before disclosing any Confidential Information
and/or Intellectual Property under Paragraph 7 subsections © and (d). If Schwab does not obtain an order
preventing the disclosure, I agree to disclose only that Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property that I am legally compelled to disclose and to exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that the Confidential Information and/or Intellectual
Property will be treated confidentially. 

  

	 	10.	Discovery and Injunctive Relief. In the event I violate, or Schwab reasonably believes I am about to violate, this Agreement, I agree Schwab is entitled to
injunctive relief to prevent the violation(s) and/or preserve the status quo. I agree that in any proceeding alleging breach of this Agreement, each party shall have the right to engage in deposition and document discovery, and Schwab shall have the
right to conduct forensic examination(s) of Electronic Devices in my possession or control, if Schwab reasonably believes such devices contain Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property. I further agree that in connection with any
application for injunctive relief, discovery shall be conducted on an expedited basis. If any dispute under this Agreement is arbitrable, then I understand my agreement to engage in discovery as outlined in this paragraph is an essential term of my
arbitration agreement with Schwab, and these provisions are intended to supplement and modify any applicable arbitration rules. 

  

	 	11.	Liquidated Damages. If I solicit clients or employees in violation of Paragraph 3, and/or use or disclose Confidential Information relating to clients and/or
their accounts in violation of Paragraph 1, I understand Schwab will suffer damages that may be difficult to quantify at the time of the violation, including, but not limited to: costs associated with investigating, monitoring, or remedying the
misuse of Confidential Information; costs associated with maintaining, restoring or repairing Schwab’s relationship with current and prospective clients; revenue lost from client assets diverted or transferred; costs associated with replacing
employees, including recruiting, hiring and training replacement employees, and lost productivity. Therefore, if I violate Paragraph 3, and/or Paragraph 1 relating to clients and/or their accounts, I agree to pay Schwab the following liquidated
damages: (a) four percent (4%) of any client assets diverted from Schwab for any client who was solicited and/or whose Confidential Information was used or disclosed; and/or, (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of the most recent full
year’s total annual compensation paid by Schwab to each employee solicited or induced to leave his or her employment. I agree that these formulas represent reasonable estimates of the compensatory damages that Schwab will incur as a result of
violations of Paragraph 3 and/or Paragraph 1 relating to clients and/or their accounts, and are not a penalty. These liquidated damages are in addition to any other non-compensatory relief that Schwab may be entitled to, including but not limited to
injunctive relief and/or punitive damages. 

  

	 	12.	 General Provisions. I agree that if Schwab or I bring an action to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to attorneys’ fees and costs to enforce such claim. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, I agree that such provision should be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. If a
court or arbitration panel declines to amend the provision to make it enforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The terms of this Agreement and any disputes arising out of it shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which I was last employed by Schwab, without giving effect to such state’s conflict 

	 	
of law principles. I agree that this Agreement supplements any prior agreements I have with Schwab, all of which remain in full force and effect.

 I AgreeCarl Bass Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
 AUTODESK, INC. 
 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 

CARL BASS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 8, 2012, by and between Autodesk, Inc. (the “Company”) and Carl Bass
(“Executive”). 
 1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 

(a) Positions and Duties. This Agreement was originally effective May 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) and was
amended and restated on December 12, 2008. Pursuant to this Agreement as further amended and restated, Executive will continue to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive will report to the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”). Executive will continue to render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position in the Company, as are reasonably assigned to him by
the Board. The period Executive is employed by the Company under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” 
 (b) Board Membership. Executive has served as a member of the Board since the Effective Date. At each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders during the Employment Term, the Company will
nominate Executive to serve as a member of the Board. Executive’s service as a member of the Board will be subject to any required stockholder approval. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason and unless otherwise
requested by the Board, Executive will be deemed to have resigned from the Board (and all other positions held at the Company and its affiliates) voluntarily and without further action from the Board, effective as of the end of Executive’s
employment as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive, at the Board’s request, will execute documents necessary to reflect his resignation. 
 (c) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote his full business time and efforts to the Company and he will use good faith efforts to discharge Executive’s obligations
under this Agreement to the best of Executive’s ability and in accordance with each of the Company’s ethics guidelines, conflict of interest policies and Code of Business Conduct. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees
not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive
may, without the approval of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to Company. Executive may also serve, without the prior
approval of the Board, as a member of the board of directors of two publicly traded companies (other than the Company) and such service will not constitute a violation of this Section 1(c). In each instance of Executive joining or resigning
from the board of directors of another public company, Executive will provide advance notice to the Company. 

  
 1 

 2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s
employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party, with or
without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance and other benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s
termination of employment. 
 3. Compensation. 
 (a) Base Salary. Effective as of April 1, 2012, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of $990,000 as compensation for his services (such annual salary, as is then effective, to be
referred to herein as “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholdings. 

(b) Annual Incentive. Executive will be eligible to receive annual cash incentive compensation payable for the achievement of
performance goals established by the Board or by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) under the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”). During the Employment Term, Executive’s target annual
incentive (“Target Annual Incentive”) under the EIP will be not less than 125% of Base Salary and shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the EIP. The actual earned annual cash incentive, if any, payable to Executive for any performance
period will depend upon the extent to which the applicable performance goals specified by the Committee are achieved or exceeded as set forth in the EIP. 
 (c) Equity Compensation. For each fiscal year during the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive long term incentive equity awards generally made available to executive officers of
the Company. The Executive’s equity awards shall be determined by the Committee on the same basis as, and shall have terms and conditions no less favorable than those that apply to, other executive officers of the Company, except that the
size of the awards made to Executive shall reflect Executive’s position with the Company and the Committee’s annual evaluation of competitive compensation practices and Executive’s performance. Performance metrics used in
Executive’s annual long term incentive award will be determined annually by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Executive no later than two months into the annual performance period. Executive’s long term Incentive awards will
be made at the same time as such awards are made to other executive officers of the Company. 
 4. Employee Benefits.
During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all Company employee health and dental insurance and other benefit plans, policies, and arrangements that are applicable to other senior executives
of the Company, as such plans, policies, and arrangements may exist from time to time. Executive will be entitled to vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy as amended from time to time. 

5. Expenses. During the Employment Term, the Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment, and other
expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance 

  
 2 

 
of the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. The reimbursement of any such eligible
expense shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. 
 6. Termination of Employment. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, Executive will be entitled to any (a) unpaid Base Salary accrued up to the
effective date of termination; (b) unpaid, but earned and accrued annual incentive compensation for any completed fiscal year as of his termination of employment; (c) pay for accrued but unused vacation; (d) benefits or compensation
as provided under the terms of any employee benefit and compensation agreements or plans applicable to Executive; (e) unreimbursed business expenses required to be reimbursed to Executive, and (f) rights to indemnification Executive may
have under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or separate indemnification agreement, as applicable (“Indemnification Rights”). In addition, if the termination is by the Company without Cause or Executive resigns for
Good Reason, Executive will be entitled to the amounts and benefits specified in Section 7. 
 7. Severance.

 (a) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason other than in Connection with a Change of Control. If
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Executive resigns for Good Reason, and such termination is not in Connection with a Change of Control, then, provided that the termination of Executive’s employment
constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a “Separation from Service”), subject to Section 8, Executive will receive: (i) payment of an amount equal to
two hundred percent (200%) of Executive’s Base Salary (less applicable tax withholdings), such amount to be paid out in substantially equal installments over twelve (12) months in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
policies; (ii) payout of his pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which termination occurs provided the Company bonus targets are satisfied, such amount to be paid in one lump sum on or before March 15th of the fiscal year
next following the year of Executive’s Separation from Service; (iii) twenty-four (24) months accelerated vesting with respect to Executive’s then outstanding, unvested equity awards (other than any awards that vest in whole or
in part based on performance), (iv) a period of not less than twelve (12) months to exercise any vested stock options that were granted to Executive by the Company on or after February 2, 2009 (provided that such options shall expire,
if earlier, on the date when they would have expired if Executive’s employment had not terminated) and (v) if Executive validly elects to continue coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”),
reimbursement for premiums paid for continued health benefits for Executive (and any eligible dependents) under the Company’s health plans, payable when such premiums are due until the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months or (B) the
date upon which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans. Subject to Section 9, the accelerated vesting and exercisability described in subsections (iii) and (iv) above shall be effective
immediately as of the date on which Executive’s separation agreement and release of claims described in Section 8(a) may be revoked has expired, and any payment described in (i) above shall be made, and commence in the case of (v), on
the sixtieth (60th) day after Executive’s Separation from Service. 

  
 3 

 (b) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change
of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, and the termination is in Connection with a Change of Control, then, provided that the termination of Executive’s
employment constitutes a Separation from Service, subject to Section 8, Executive will receive: (i) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to 200% of the sum of Executive’s annual Base Salary and Executive’s Average Annual Bonus
(less applicable tax withholdings); (ii) payout of his pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which termination occurs provided the Company bonus targets are satisfied, such amount to be paid in one lump sum on or before
March 15th of the succeeding fiscal year; (iii) in addition to Executive’s rights under any Company equity compensation plans pursuant to which Executive has been granted equity awards, including without limitation the Autodesk, Inc.
2006 Employee Stock Plan, the Autodesk, Inc. 2008 Employee Stock Plan, or the Autodesk, Inc. Equity Incentive Deferral Plan, each of Executive’s then outstanding unvested equity awards, including awards that would otherwise vest only upon
satisfaction of performance criteria, shall fully accelerate and become vested and exercisable with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject thereto; (iv) a period of not less than twelve (12) months to exercise any
vested stock options that were granted to Executive by the Company on or after February 2, 2009 (provided that such options shall expire, if earlier, on the date when they would have expired if Executive’s employment had not terminated);
and (v) if Executive validly elects to continue coverage under COBRA, reimbursement for premiums paid for continued health benefits for the Executive (and any eligible dependents) under the Company’s health plans, payable when such
premiums are due until the earlier of (A) eighteen (18) months or (B) the date upon which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans. Subject to Section 9, the accelerated vesting and
exercisability described in subsections (iii) and (iv) above shall be effective immediately as of the date on which Executive’s separation agreement and release of claims described in Section 8(a) may be revoked has expired, and
any severance payment described in (i) above shall be made, and commence in the case of (v), on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day after Executive’s Separation from Service or the consummation of the Change of Control. 

(c) Voluntary Termination Without Good Reason or Termination for Cause. Except as provided in Section 7(e) below, if
Executive’s employment is terminated voluntarily, including due to death or Disability, without Good Reason, is terminated for Cause by the Company or, if prior to Executive’s death, the Company provides him notice of termination for Cause
or Executive provides the Company of notice of termination without Good Reason, then, except as provided in Section 6, (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately; (ii) all payments
of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately, and (iii) Executive will be eligible for severance benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then established plans. 

(d) Termination due to Death or Disability. Except as set forth in Section 8(a), if Executive’s employment terminates by
reason of death or Disability, then Executive will be entitled to receive benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then applicable plans, policies, and arrangements. 

(e) Voluntary Termination Related to Transition. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in connection with a
Company senior executive transition or 

  
 4 

 
succession plan the Board may request that Executive resign as President and Chief Executive Officer but continue his service to the Company in another capacity, including without limitation as
Executive Chairman of the Board or as an advisor to a successor senior executive, pursuant to such terms and for such period as determined by the Board in consultation with and agreed to by the Executive (the “Transition Period”). If
Executive accepts such request, then upon the conclusion of such Transition Period or such earlier date as mutually agreed by the Board and Executive, Executive may voluntary terminate his employment for any reason and upon such termination of
employment shall be entitled to the severance and other benefits described in Section 7(a) above, without regard to whether such voluntary termination of employment is with or without Good Reason. 

(f) Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and
benefits in connection with the termination of his employment. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he is not entitled to participate in the Company’s Executive Change in Control Program as amended and restated as of February 1, 2011
(the “Program”). To the extent Executive receives severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like, severance payments and benefits due to Executive under this
Agreement will be correspondingly reduced (or vice-versa). 
 (g) In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement
otherwise constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and would, but for this subsection (f) be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s benefits under Section 7 shall be either: 
 (i) delivered in full, or 
 (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent as would
result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an
after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing, all determinations required to be made
under this Article, including the manner and amount of any reduction in the Executive’s benefits under Section 7, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made in writing in good faith by the
accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the event giving rise to such Payment (the “Accountants”). If Executive’s benefits are delivered to a lesser extent in accordance with
this clause (ii), then Executive’s aggregate benefits shall be reduced in the following order (i) cash severance pay that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (ii) any other cash severance pay, (iv) reimbursement
payments under Section 6(e), above, (iii) any restricted stock units, (iv) any equity awards other than restricted stock units and stock options, and (v) stock options. For purposes of making the calculations required by this
subsection (f), the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the
Accountants may reasonably request to make a determination under this subsection (f). The 

  
 5 

 
Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this subsection (f). 

8. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate. 

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance or other benefits pursuant to Section 7 will be
subject to Executive signing, not revoking and returning to the Company within fifty (50) days of his Separation from Service a separation agreement and release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. No severance or other benefits
hereunder will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective. Executive shall not be required to release the rights under Section 11 of this Agreement or the policies referred to in Section 11.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive shall die following a termination described in Sections 7(a) or (b), Executive shall not be required to execute a separation agreement and release of claims in order for Executive’s successors to
receive the severance benefits described in Sections 7(a) or (b). 
 (b) Non-solicitation and Non-competition. The
receipt of any severance or other benefits pursuant to Section 7(a) will be subject to Executive agreeing that during the Employment Term and Continuance Period, Executive will not (i) solicit any employee of the Company (other than
Executive’s personal assistant) for employment other than at the Company, or (ii) directly or indirectly engage in, have any ownership interest in or participate in any entity that as of the date of termination, competes with the Company
in any substantial business of the Company or any business reasonably expected to become a substantial business of the Company. Executive’s passive ownership of not more than 1% of any publicly traded company and/or 5% ownership of any
privately held company will not constitute a breach of this Section 8(b). 
 (c) Nondisparagement. During the
Continuance Period, neither Executive nor the Company will knowingly and materially disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding the Executive or the Company, respectively, and the Company, in its official statements,
will not and will instruct the members of the Board and executive officers not to, knowingly and materially disparage, criticize, or otherwise make derogatory statements regarding Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this
agreement will be deemed to restrict Executive, the Company or any of the Company’s current or former officers and/or directors from providing information to any governmental or regulatory agency (or in any way limit the content of any such
information) to the extent they are requested or required to provide such information pursuant to applicable law or regulation. 

(d) Other Requirements. Executive’s receipt of continued severance payments will be subject to Executive continuing to comply
with the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement and the provisions of this Section 8. 
 (e) No Duty to
Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment. 

9. Section 409A 

  
 6 

 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if the Executive is deemed by the Company at the time
of his Separation from Service by the Company to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which he is entitled under
this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of his benefits shall not be provided to him prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period
measured from the date of his Separation from Service with the Company or (b) the date of his death. Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all deferred payments shall be paid to Executive in a lump
sum, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and Executive agree that, for purposes of the limitations on
nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the Section 409A deferral election rules and the
exclusion from Code Section 409A for certain short-term deferral amounts. 
 10. Definitions. 

(a) Average Annual Bonus. For purposes of this Agreement, “Average Annual Bonus” shall mean the cash value of the
average bonus amount awarded (determined without regard to any deferral election or form of payment of such bonus) to Executive under the Company’s incentive bonus and variable compensation programs as in effect on the Effective Date (or any
predecessor or successor programs) for the three most recent consecutive and complete fiscal years of the Company prior to the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs. 

(b) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (i) Executive’s engagement in acts of embezzlement,
dishonesty or moral turpitude that has a material adverse effect on the Company; (ii) the conviction of Executive for having committed a felony; (iii) a breach by Executive of Executive’s fiduciary duties and responsibilities to the
Company that result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, prospects or reputation; or (iv) gross negligence or bad faith that has a material adverse effect on the Company as reasonably determined by the Board;
provided that if any of the foregoing events is capable of being cured, the Company will provide written notice of Executive describing the nature of such event and Executive will thereafter have 30 days to cure such event. The foregoing shall not
be deemed an exclusive list of the acts or omissions that the Company may consider as grounds for the termination of Executive’s employment, but it is an exclusive list of the acts or omissions that shall be considered “Cause” for the
termination of Executive’s employment by the Company. 
 (c) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Change of Control” means (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or (ii) the consummation
of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which
would 

  
 7 

 
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity or its parent) fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
(iv) a change in the composition of the Board, as a result of which less than a majority of the Directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean Directors who either (A) are Directors of the Company as of the
date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of those Directors whose election or nomination was not in connection with any transaction described in subsections (i),
(ii) or (iii) or in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors of the Company; provided that such Change of Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company
within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (d) Disability. For
purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall have the same defined meaning as in the Company’s long-term disability plan. 

(e) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means without the Executive’s written consent,
(i) a material reduction in the Executive’s authority or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) which shall include, after a Change of Control, the failure to appoint Executive as the Chief Executive Officer of a
corporation whose equity securities are regularly traded on a recognized public market; (ii) a material reduction in the Executive’s annual Base Salary or Target Annual Incentive, other than a reduction made prior to a Change of Control
that in the aggregate does not exceed 10% that also is applied to substantially all of the Company’s other senior executives; or (iii) the relocation of the Executive’s principal place of performing his duties as an employee of the
Company by more than thirty (30) miles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an event described in this Section shall not constitute Good Reason unless it is communicated by the Executive to the Company in writing within ninety (90) days of the
initial existence of such event and is not corrected by the Company in a manner which is reasonably satisfactory to such Executive (including full retroactive correction with respect to any reduction in annual Base Salary or Target Annual Incentive
except as permitted in clause (ii)) within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of such written notice. In any event, Executive’s Separation from Service must occur during the two (2) year period following the initial
existence of any of the events described in this Section in order to constitute a Separation from Service for Good Reason. Neither the failure of the Company’s stockholders to elect or reelect Executive to the Board nor the expiration of the
Employment Term will constitute Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (f) Continuance Period. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Continuance Period” will mean the period of time beginning on the date of the termination of Executive’s employment and ending on the date on which Executive is no longer receiving Base Salary payments under
Section 7. 
 (g) In Connection with a Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company is “in Connection with a Change of Control” if Executive’s employment is terminated (i) within two (2) months preceding a Change of Control or (ii) within twelve
(12) months following a Change of Control. 

  
 8 

 11. Indemnification and Insurance. Executive will be covered under the Company’s
insurance policies and, subject to applicable law, will be provided indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Company’s bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, and standard form of Indemnification Agreement, with such insurance
coverage and indemnification to be in accordance with the Company’s standard practices for senior executive officers but on terms no less favorable than provided to any other Company senior executive officer or director. 

12. Confidential Information. Executive has previously executed the Company’s standard form of employee confidential
information agreement (the “Confidential Information Agreement”). During the Employment Term, Executive further agrees to execute any updated versions of the Confidential Information Agreement (any such updated version also referred to as
the “Confidential Information Agreement”) as may be required of substantially all of the Company’s executive officers. 
 13. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors, and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any
successor of the Company. Except for purposes of Section 8(b), any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any
person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to
receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of Executive’s
right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void. 
 14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other
communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (b) one day after being sent by a well established commercial overnight service, or (c) four days

If to the Company: 
 Attn: Chairman of the Compensation Committee 
 of the Board of Directors
Autodesk, Inc. 
 111 McInnis Parkway 
 San Rafael, CA 94903 
 If to Executive: 

at the last residential address known by the Company as provided by 

Executive in writing. 
 15. Severability. If any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect
without said provision. 

  
 9 

 16. Arbitration. 

(a) General. In consideration of Executive’s service to the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment related
disputes, and Executive’s receipt of the compensation and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and
any employee, officer, director, shareholder, or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s service to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise or the
termination of Executive’s service with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, will be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2,
including Section 1283.05 (the “Rules”) and pursuant to California law. Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law,
including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination, and any statutory claims. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the
Company may have with Executive. 
 (b) Procedure. Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will be held in Marin County,
California and will allow for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or California Code of Civil Procedure. Executive agrees that the arbitrator will have the power to decide any
motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. Executive agrees that the arbitrator will issue a written decision on
the merits. Executive understands the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Executive will pay the first $200.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Executive initiates.
Executive agrees that the arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the Rules, the
Rules will take precedence. 
 (c) Remedy. Except as provided by the Rules, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive, and
final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration.
Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator will not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has
not adopted. 
 (d) Availability of Injunctive Relief. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for
provisional relief, Executive agrees that any party also may petition the 

  
 10 

 
court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement regarding trade secrets, confidential
information, Nonsolicitation or Labor Code §2870. 
 (e) Administrative Relief. Executive understands that this
Agreement does not prohibit Executive from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the workers’
compensation board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim. 
 (f)
Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that
Executive has carefully read this Agreement and that Executive has asked any questions needed for Executive to understand the terms, consequences, and binding effect of this Agreement, including that Executive is waiving Executive’s right to a
jury trial. Finally, Executive agrees that Executive has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this Agreement. 

17. Legal and Tax Expenses. The Company will directly pay Executive’s counsel up to $7,500 for reasonable legal and tax
advice expenses incurred in connection with amendment and restatement of this Agreement as of April 3, 2011. Such payment shall be made in full within 30 days after the Company’s receipt of any applicable invoices (and in any event by not
later than December 31, 2012). 
 18. Integration. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral, other than the Autodesk, Inc. 2005 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. No waiver, alteration, or modification
of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in a writing that specifically references this Section and is signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto. 

19. Waiver of Breach. The waiver of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement, which must be in writing, will not
operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other previous or subsequent breach of this Agreement. 
 20. Survival.
The Confidential Information Agreement, the Company’s and Executive’s responsibilities under Sections 6, 7, 10, 13, 15 and 16 will survive the termination of this Agreement. 

21. Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of
this Agreement. 
 22. Tax Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of
applicable taxes. 
 23. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California (with the
exception of its conflict of laws provisions). 

  
 11 

 24. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that she has had the opportunity to
discuss this matter with and obtain advice from his private attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

 25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart will have the same force and
effect as an original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 

  
 12 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by a duly
authorized officer, as of the day and year first above written.
