Pursuant to the Dynatrace, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan as amended through the date hereof (the “Plan”), Dynatrace, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants an award (an “Award”) of the number of shares of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) to the Grantee named above, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein, including any additional terms and conditions for the Grantee’s country, as set forth in the Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix” and, together, the “Agreement”), and in the Plan. Each share of Restricted Stock shall reflect one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Stock”) of the Company. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
1.Award. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall be issued and held by the Company’s transfer agent in book entry form, and the Grantee’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares, including voting and dividend rights, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in Paragraph 2 below. The Grantee shall (a) accept this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s instructions, which may include an online acceptance process and (b) deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank.
2.Restrictions and Conditions.
(a)Any book entries for the shares of Restricted Stock granted herein shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, to the effect that such shares are subject to restrictions as set forth herein and in the Plan.
(b)Shares of Restricted Stock granted herein may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee prior to vesting.
(c)If the Grantee’s Service Relationship is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason (including death) except as provided in Section 3 below or Schedule 1 attached hereto, in each case prior to vesting of shares of Restricted Stock granted herein on the terms specified in Schedule 1 attached hereto, all shares of Restricted Stock, to the extent not yet vested as of the applicable date, shall immediately and automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company.

3.Vesting of Restricted Stock.
(a)The restrictions and conditions in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall lapse on the vesting dates specified in and otherwise in accordance with the terms of Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Vesting Date”), so long as the Grantee remains in a Service Relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary through such dates. If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and conditions in Paragraph 2 shall lapse only with respect to the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified as vested on such date.
(b)Subsequent to the Vesting Date, the shares of Stock on which all restrictions and conditions have lapsed shall no longer be deemed Restricted Stock. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 3.
4.Dividends. Dividends on shares of Restricted Stock shall be paid to the Grantee if the Company pays dividends on the Stock.
5.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the general terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. However, this Agreement sets out specific terms for this Award, and those terms will prevail over more general terms in the Plan on the same issue, if any, or in the event of a conflict between such terms.
6.Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7.Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)The Grantee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company and/or, if different, the Affiliate which employs the Grantee or for which the Grantee otherwise provides services (the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure or administer the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former Service Recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard
2

to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Service Recipient; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iii) withholding from shares of Stock; or (iv) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable laws.
(c)The Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Grantee’s jurisdiction(s), in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d)The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock, or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.Election Under Section 83(b). To the extent the Grantee is a U.S. taxpayer, the Grantee and the Company hereby agree that the Grantee may, within 30 days following the Grant Date of this Award, file with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the Company an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. In the event the Grantee makes such an election, he or she agrees to provide a copy of the election to the Company. The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is responsible for obtaining the advice of his or her tax advisors with regard to the Section 83(b) election and that he or she is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents with regard to such election.
9.No Creation of Service Relationship; No Obligation to Continue Service Relationship. The grant of this Award shall not be interpreted as forming an employment or service agreement with the Company or any Affiliate and shall not be construed as giving the Grantee the right to remain in a Service Relationship. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the Service Recipient, as applicable, to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
10.Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the Award is exceptional and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Awards, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Awards, even if Restricted Stock Awards have been granted in the past;
3

(c)all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Restricted Stock Awards, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(e)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Awards, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Grantee may provide as a director of an Affiliate;
(f)the Restricted Stock Awards, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(g)the future value of the shares of Stock is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)for purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s Service Relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee provides services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or other service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise determined by the Company or as provided in Schedule 1, the Grantee’s right to vest in the Award, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Grantee’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee provides services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or other service agreement, if any). The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Awards in accordance with the terms of Schedule 1 hereto resulting from the termination of the Grantee’s Service Relationship (whether or not the reason was later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee provides services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or other service agreement, if any);
(j)unless otherwise provided in the Plan, Schedule 1 to this Agreement, or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Awards and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Awards or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock of the Company; and
(k)neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Awards or the subsequent sale of the shares of Stock.
