pursuant to this Agreement, any appendix to this Agreement for the Participant&#146;s country of residence (the &#147;<B>Appendix</B>&#148;), the MSC.Software Corporation 2006 Performance Incentive Plan (the &#147;<B>U.S. Plan</B>&#148;) and any
sub-plan to the U.S. Plan (collectively, the &#147;<B>Plan</B>&#148;), the Corporation has granted to the Participant effective as of the date hereof (the &#147;<B>Award Date</B>&#148;) a credit of stock units under the Plan (the &#147;<B>Stock Unit

respect to an aggregate of <B>[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]</B> stock units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section&nbsp;7.1 of the U.S. Plan) (the &#147;<B>Stock Units</B>&#148;). As used herein,
the term &#147;stock unit&#148; shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporation&#146;s Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in
Section&nbsp;7.1 of the U.S. Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan, this Agreement and any Appendix. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Stock Units
vest pursuant to Section&nbsp;3. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">3.

nonforfeitable based on the Corporation&#146;s performance during each of the calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009 (each such year, a &#147;<B>Performance Year</B>&#148;). The Stock Units that are eligible to vest with respect to a particular
Performance Year shall vest if and to the extent that the performance measures set forth on <U>Exhibit A</U> attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference are satisfied with respect to such Performance Year; provided, however, that any
vesting of the Stock Units with respect to a Performance Year shall be contingent upon the Participant&#146;s continued employment by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries through the Determination Date (as defined below) that follows such

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Directors of the Corporation (the &#147;<B>Committee</B>&#148;) in its sole discretion as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Year but in no
event later than March&nbsp;30 of the calendar year that follows such Performance Year. (The date on which the Committee makes such determination is referred to herein as the &#147;<B>Determination Date</B>.&#148;) Any Stock Units that are eligible
to vest with respect to a particular Performance Year and do not vest as of the Determination Date that follows such Performance Year shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of such Determination Date without payment of any consideration
by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant. Any such terminated Stock Units shall not thereafter be considered outstanding Stock Units for purposes of the Award, including (without limitation) for purposes of crediting
dividend equivalents pursuant to Section&nbsp;5(b) or acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section&nbsp;8(b) or Section&nbsp;9. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">4.
<B><U>Continuance of Employment</U></B>. The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under
this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following
a termination of employment or services as provided in Section&nbsp;8(a) below or under the Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">5. <B><U>Dividend and Voting

Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section&nbsp;5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of
such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the
stock certificate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(b) <B><U>Dividend Equivalent Rights Distributions</U></B>. In the event that the Corporation pays an ordinary cash
dividend on its Common Stock and the related dividend payment record date occurs at any time after the Award Date and before all of the Stock Units subject to the Award have either been paid pursuant to Section&nbsp;7 or terminated pursuant to
Section&nbsp;3 or Section&nbsp;8(a), the Corporation shall credit the Participant as of such record date with an additional number of Stock Units equal to (i)&nbsp;the per-share cash dividend paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock with respect
to such record date, multiplied by (ii)&nbsp;the total number of outstanding and unpaid Stock Units (including any dividend equivalents previously credited hereunder) (with such total number adjusted pursuant to Section&nbsp;7.1 of the U.S. Plan and
Section&nbsp;9 hereof) subject to the Award as of such record date, divided by (iii)&nbsp;the fair market value of a share of Common Stock (as determined under the Plan) on such record date. Any Stock Units credited pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section&nbsp;5(b) shall be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Stock Units to which they relate. No crediting of Stock Units shall be made pursuant to this
Section&nbsp;5(b) with respect to any Stock Units which, as of such record date, have either been paid pursuant to Section&nbsp;7 or terminated pursuant to Section&nbsp;3 or Section&nbsp;8(a). </FONT></P> <P

amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to
(a)&nbsp;transfers to the Corporation, or (b)&nbsp;transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">7. <B><U>Timing and Manner
of Payment of Stock Units</U></B>. On or as soon as administratively practical following each vesting of the applicable portion of the total Award pursuant to Section&nbsp;3, Section&nbsp;8 or Section&nbsp;9, the Corporation shall deliver to the
Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) equal to the number of Stock Units
subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date, unless such Stock Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section&nbsp;8(a). The Corporation&#146;s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or otherwise make
payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations
or other documents or assurances required pursuant to Section&nbsp;8.1 of the U.S. Plan. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section&nbsp;3 or Section&nbsp;8(a).

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(a) <B><U>Termination of Employment</U></B>. The Participant&#146;s Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested prior to
the first date the Participant is no longer employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participant&#146;s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, whether with or without
cause, voluntarily or involuntarily. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation
and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participant&#146;s personal representative, as the case may be. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Participant&#146;s employment is terminated as of the date that the Participant is no
longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (<I>e.g.</I>, active employment would not include a period of &#147;garden leave&#148; or similar period pursuant to local law). The Board or

shall be made with respect to any ordinary cash dividend for which dividend equivalents are credited pursuant to Section&nbsp;5(b). Furthermore, the Administrator shall adjust the performance measures set forth on <U>Exhibit A</U> hereto to the
extent (if any) it determines that the adjustment is necessary or advisable to preserve the intended incentives and benefits to reflect (1)&nbsp;any material change in corporate capitalization, any material corporate transaction (such as a
reorganization, combination, separation, merger, acquisition, or any combination of the foregoing), or any complete or partial liquidation of the Corporation, (2)&nbsp;any change in accounting policies or practices, (3)&nbsp;the effects of any

Withholding</U></B>. Regardless of any action the Corporation and/or the Participant&#146;s employer (the &#147;Employer&#148;) take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social
insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (&#147;Tax-Related Items&#148;), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the
Participant&#146;s responsibility and that the Corporation and/or the Employer (a)&nbsp;make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the
Stock Units, the vesting of the Stock Units, the delivery of shares of Common Stock, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (b)&nbsp;do not commit to structure the terms of the
grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant&#146;s liability for Tax-Related Items. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Prior to the relevant
taxable event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Corporation and/or the Employer. In this regard, if
permissible under local law, the Participant authorizes the Corporation and/or the Employer, at its discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by reducing the number of shares of
Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of vested Stock Units by such number of whole shares valued at their then fair market value (with the &#147;fair market value&#148; of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Plan), equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum statutorily applicable withholding amount. If the foregoing method of withholding is prohibited or insufficient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant or
if the Corporation, in its discretion, determines not to apply the foregoing method of withholding for any other reason, then the Participant hereby authorizes the Corporation and/or the Employer to satisfy the obligations by one or a combination of
the following: (a)&nbsp;withholding from the Participant&#146;s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Corporation and/or the Employer; or (b)&nbsp;selling shares or arranging for the sale of shares of Common Stock (in
either case on the Participant&#146;s behalf and at the Participant&#146;s direction pursuant to this authorization) issued in settlement of vested Stock Units. If the obligation of Tax-Related Items is satisfied by reducing the number of shares of
Common Stock delivered as described herein, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held </FONT>
