NOVELL, INC.
2009 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

        This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT, dated as of _________ __, 20__
(the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by Novell, Inc. (the “Company”) to
_______________ (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

        A.        The Novell, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
provides for the grant of restricted stock units in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Plan. Pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Remuneration
and Expense Reimbursement Summary, approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”), the Compensation Committee of the Board has approved a
grant of restricted stock units (“Restricted Units”) as an inducement for the
Grantee to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. A
copy of the Plan is available at
https://innerweb.novell.com/organizations/finance/shareholder_services/.

        B.        The Plan is administered by the Committee (as defined in the
Plan).

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally
bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.     Grant of Restricted Units. The Company hereby grants the Grantee _______
Restricted Units. The Restricted Units are subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

2.     Restricted Unit Account. Restricted Units represent hypothetical shares
of common stock of the Company (“Shares”), and not actual Shares. The Company
shall establish and maintain a Restricted Unit account, as a bookkeeping account
on its records, for the Grantee and shall record in such account the number of
Restricted Units granted to the Grantee. No Shares shall be issued to the
Grantee at the time the grant is made, and the Grantee shall not be, nor have
any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to
any Restricted Units recorded in the account. The Grantee shall not have any
interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this award
or the Restricted Unit account established for the Grantee.

3.     Vesting.

        (a)     The Restricted Units shall be subject to forfeiture until the
Restricted Units vest. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs 3(b) or
3(c) below, the Restricted Units shall vest over two (2) years with 50% of the
Restricted Units vesting on the first annual anniversary of the Date of Grant
and 50% of the Restricted Units vesting on the second annual anniversary of the
Date of Grant, provided that the Grantee is a Director (as defined in the Plan)
of the Company on such dates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The vesting of the Restricted Units shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed
100% of the Restricted Units. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional
Restricted Units, the number of Restricted Units that vest shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole Restricted Unit.

        (b)     Immediately upon the Grantee’s death while a Director of the
Company, each of the Grantee’s outstanding, unvested Restricted Units shall vest
with respect to all Restricted Units that would have vested during the twelve
(12) months following such death if the Grantee had remained a Director of the
Company.

        (c)     Immediately upon the effective date of the Retirement (as
defined below) of the Grantee (i.e., the last date of the Grantee’s service as a
Director of the Company), each of the Grantee’s outstanding, unvested Restricted
Units shall vest. For purposes hereof, “Retirement” means a person who resigns
as a Director of the Company at an age of 73 or older.

4.     Termination of Restricted Units. Except as otherwise provided in
Paragraph 3 above, if the Grantee ceases to serve as a Director for any reason
before all of the Restricted Units vest, any unvested Restricted Units shall
automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s
termination as a Director. No payment shall be made with respect to any unvested
Restricted Units that terminate as described in this Paragraph 4.

5.     Payment of Restricted Units.

        (a)     If and when the Restricted Units vest, the Company shall issue
to the Grantee one Share for each vested Restricted Unit within two (2) months
after the applicable vesting date.

        (b)     The issuance of Shares to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement
is subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state, local and other taxes. All
obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights
of the Company to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if
applicable.

        (c)     The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares when Restricted
Units vest shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and
such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the
Committee, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or
appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations.

6.     Change of Control. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan)
occurs, the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply
to the Restricted Units; provided, however, that if the Restricted Units are
subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Restricted Units shall be paid to the Grantee
upon the Change of Control only if the transaction constituting the Change of
Control is a “change in control event” within the meaning of section 409A of the
Code. If the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a “change in
control event” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, the Restricted
Units shall be paid to the Grantee within thirty (30) days following the earlier
of (a) the date the Restricted Units are otherwise scheduled to vest pursuant to
Section 3 above or (b) the date the Grantee ceases to be a Director.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.     Nature of Grant. In accepting the Restricted Units, the Grantee
acknowledges that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is
discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated
at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement; (ii) the
grant of the Restricted Units does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of
restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units have been granted
repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future restricted
stock unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Board; (iv) the
Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (v) in the event that the
Grantee is not an employee of the Company, an Affiliate, or a Subsidiary, the
Restricted Units grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or
relationship with the Company or with any Affiliate or Subsidiary; (vi) the
future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with
certainty; and (vii) the value of Shares acquired upon vesting may increase or
decrease in value, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall
arise from termination of Restricted Units or from any diminution in value of
the Restricted Units or Shares received upon vesting of Restricted Units, and
the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and all Affiliates and Subsidiaries
from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by
signing this Agreement, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived
his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.

8.     Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the
Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all
respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. In the event of a
conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall
prevail. The grant and payment of the Restricted Units are subject to
interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established
from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the
registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (ii) changes in
capitalization of the Company, and (iii) other requirements of applicable law.
The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Restricted
Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive
as to any questions arising hereunder.

9.     No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to
receive payment in the event of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the
rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to Shares until certificates
for Shares have been issued upon vesting of Restricted Units.

10.    Assignment and Transfers. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit
pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Grantee under this
Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except,
in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign,
pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Units or any right
hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy
or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests
hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Restricted Units by notice to
the Grantee, and the Restricted Units and all rights hereunder shall thereupon
become null and void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall
extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s
Subsidiaries and Affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company
without the Grantee’s consent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.    Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of
this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions
thereof. This Agreement and the Restricted Units are intended to comply with
section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, or an exemption, and
payment may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner
permitted by section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. For purposes of
section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be
treated as a separate payment. In no event shall the Grantee, directly or
indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

12.    I.R.C. Section 83(b). Pursuant to Section 83(b) of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Grantee will not be entitled to make an
election to be taxed upon grant of the Restricted Units.

13.    Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall
be addressed to the Company in care of Director of Shareholder Services at the
corporate headquarters of the Company, and any notice to the Grantee shall be
addressed to the Grantee at the residential address written beneath the
Grantee’s name below. The Grantee agrees to notify the Company in writing upon
any change in such residential address. Any notice shall be delivered by hand,
sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated
above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly
maintained by the applicable postal service.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officers
to execute and attest this Agreement, and the Grantee has executed this
Agreement, effective as of the Date of Grant.
