1.Grant of Restricted Stock Unit. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and effective as of the Date of Grant, the Company hereby grants the restricted stock units of the Company (the “Restricted Stock Units”), as set forth in the Portal. The Company reserves all rights with respect to the granting of additional Restricted Stock Units hereunder and makes no implied promise to grant additional Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit entitles Participant to receive one share of Class B Common Stock upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions reflected in this Agreement and the Plan. All terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, to the extent Participant is not employed by the Company, the “Employer” means the Subsidiary that employs Participant.
2.Vesting; Forfeiture.
(a)Subject to the conditions contained herein and in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as provided in Schedule I attached hereto and the Portal.
(b)Upon Participant's Termination, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and canceled for no consideration (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting, continuation of vesting or other terms set forth in Schedule I attached hereto and/or the Portal).
(c)EU Age Discrimination Rules. If Participant is a local national of and employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units and the terms and conditions governing the Restricted Stock Units are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.
(d)Termination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, if Participant is employed in the United States, "Termination Date" shall mean the effective date of Participant's Termination. If Participant is employed outside of the United States, "Termination Date" shall mean the earliest of (i) the date on which notice of Termination is provided to Participant, (ii) the last day of

Participant's active service with the Company or the Employer, as applicable, or (iii) the last day on which Participant is an employee of the Company or the Employer, as applicable, as determined in each case, without including any required advanced notice period and irrespective of the status of the Termination under local labor or employment laws
3.Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two and one-half months) following the applicable vesting date of any Restricted Stock Unit, the Company shall issue to Participant or Participant’s beneficiary, without charge, one share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”) (or other securities or other property, as applicable) for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (a) pay cash or part cash and part shares of Class B Common Stock in lieu of issuing only shares of Class B Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (b) defer the issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock (or cash or part cash and part shares of Class B Common Stock, as the case may be) beyond the applicable vesting date if such extension would not cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code or other applicable laws. If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing shares of Class B Common Stock in respect of any Restricted Stock Unit, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the Class B Common Stock as of the applicable vesting date with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit.
4.Rights as a Stockholder. Participant shall have no rights or privileges as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units. Participant shall be entitled to dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Class B Common Stock) in respect of Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, either in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Class B Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends. Such dividend equivalent payments (i) with respect to Restricted Stock Units subject to time-based vesting (as described in Schedule I to the Agreement and the Portal), shall accrue and become payable to Participant, without interest, if and when such Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section 3 hereof (and if such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalent payments or any interest thereon) and (ii) with respect to Restricted Stock Units subject to performance-based vesting (as described in Schedule I to the Agreement, the Portal or as otherwise communicated to Participant), shall become payable upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Class B Common Stock, regardless of whether such Restricted Stock Units are vested or unvested.
5.No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor Participant’s receipt of the shares of Class B Common Stock hereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company or the Employer, as applicable, to continue the employment or engagement of Participant. Further, the Company or the Employer, as applicable, may at any time terminate the employment or engagement of such Participant, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
6.Assignment Restrictions.


Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement – Page 3

(a)The unvested Restricted Stock Units may not be Assigned at any time and any such purported Assignment shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an Assignment.
(b)As used herein, “Assign” or “Assignment” shall mean (in either the noun or the verb form, including with respect to the verb form, all conjugations thereof within their correlative meanings) with respect to any security, the gift, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition (whether for or without consideration, whether directly or indirectly, and whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) of such security or any interest therein.
7.Withholding of Tax-Related Items; Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax related-items (“Tax- Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related-Items associated with the Restricted Stock Units is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company, and the Company and the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related-Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant of the Award, the vesting of the Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Class B Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Award and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Related-Items. Further, if Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Related-Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, if Participant's country of residence (and/or the country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company or the Employer: (i) shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Class B Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld (in which case, the cash equivalent of such withheld shares of Class B Common Stock shall be used to settle the withholding obligation); (ii) shall withhold an amount from Participant's regular salary and/or wages, or from any other amounts payable to Participant; or (iii) require Participant to make a payment to the Company or the Employer equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. Depending on the applicable method, the Company or the Employer, as applicable, may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates, but such withholding shall not exceed an amount of withholding based on the maximum statutory rates in Participant's applicable tax jurisdiction(s).
In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Class B Common Stock or through Participant's regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to Participant, no shares of Class B Common Stock shall be issued to Participant unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines,

in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. If Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Participant expressly consents to the withholding of shares of Class B Common Stock and/or the withholding of amounts from Participant's regular salary and/or wages, or other amounts payable to Participant, as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Restricted Stock Units and any shares of Class B Common Stock acquired pursuant to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be Participant's sole responsibility.

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement – Page 7

exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Participant's Personal Data also may be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities where the Company’s securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made. The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and use of Participant's Personal Data is Participant's consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company and the Employer transfer Participant's Personal Data to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. and E*TRADE Securities LLC, a broker firm/third party service provider based in the United States of America and engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, administration and management of awards granted under the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).

When the Company no longer needs Participant's Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company retains Participant's Personal Data longer, it would be to satisfy the Company's legal or regulatory obligations and the Company's legal basis would be for compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

26.Insider Trading/Market Abuse. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the shares of Class B Common Stock are listed and in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States, Participant’s country and the designated broker’s country, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Class B Common Stock, rights to shares of Class B Common Stock (e.g., the Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Class B Common Stock under the Plan during such times that Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in Participant’s country).  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.
