Form of Stock Option Agreement.
On February 2, 2009, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of Autodesk, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new form of stock option agreement under the Company’s 2008 Employee Stock Plan for certain stock option grants to the Company’s executive officers. The sole change from the previously approved form of stock option agreement is that the new form of stock option agreement contains a twelve month post-termination exercise period rather than a six month period, except in certain circumstances specified in the form of stock option agreement, in which case, the post-termination exercise period would be three months.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the new form of stock option agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
