the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in advance of the initial election or appointment of such independent director
		
	Annual Equity Award:	  	Annually, on July 16 of each year or, in the event that such day is not a business day, then on the first business day following that date, each independent director will receive an annual
equity grant. Such grant will be a restricted stock award for a number of shares of Red Hat common stock determined by dividing $150,000 by the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock (on such U.S. national exchange on which said stock
principally trades) on the date of such grant. The shares of restricted stock shall vest on the first anniversary of the initial grant date. If at the time of the annual equity grant an independent director has not served as such for a full 12

Lieu of Annual
Restricted Stock Award:	  	Each independent director may elect, prior to the beginning of the calendar year, to receive DSUs on a one-for-one basis in lieu of such director’s annual restricted stock award pursuant
to the Corporation’s 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The DSUs will vest on the same basis as the restricted stock award. Vested DSUs will be settled in shares of the Corporation’s common stock upon termination of the DSU

30 days after the date on which it receives such notice (the “Remedial Period”), and (c) the Participant actually terminates employment within 30 days after the expiration of the Remedial Period and before the Company or the

 ARTICLE VI 
 TAX CONSIDERATIONS 
 Section 6.1 Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
notwithstanding any prior agreements, arrangements or programs with a Participant (including any prior employment agreements), if the payment of an Incentive Bonus under the Plan by itself or when combined with any other payment or benefit the
Participant receives from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively “Covered Payments”), would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (the
“Covered Parachute Payments”), and (ii) is or may become subject to the Excise Tax, then the portion of the Covered Payments that would be treated as Covered Parachute Payments, in the aggregate, in excess of the Safe Harbor Amount
shall be either (a) paid in full in accordance with the terms governing such payments, or (b) reduced so that the Covered Parachute Payments, in the aggregate, do not exceed the Safe Harbor Amount, whichever of the foregoing actions,
taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (for which the Participant shall be responsible), results in the Participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount
of the payments notwithstanding that all or some portion of the payments may remain subject to the Excise Tax. If it is determined that any payments are to be reduced as set forth above, the Participant shall have the right to designate which of the
payments shall be reduced and to what extent, provided that the Participant may not so elect to the extent that, in the determination of the accounting firm referred to in Section 6.2, such election would cause the Participant to be subject to
the Excise Tax or a penalty under Section 409A of the Code. Appropriate adjustments to the amounts payable hereunder shall be made to take into account the effects of subsequent Covered Payments outside the Plan. 
 Section 6.2 Accounting. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the Closing Date shall make
the determination of (i) whether an event described in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code has occurred, (ii) the value of any Covered Parachute Payments and the Safe Harbor Amount, (iii) whether any reduction in the Covered
Payments is required under Section 6.1, (iv) the amount of any such reduction, and (v) the amount of any adjustments under Section 6.1 and Section 6.3. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as
accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Administrator shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses
with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the
Company and the Participant at such time as requested by the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable, it shall furnish the Company and the Participant with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Participant that no
Excise Tax will be imposed. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant. 
  

 - 9 - 

 Section 6.3 IRS Determination. If, notwithstanding any reduction described in Section 6.1,
the IRS determines that the Participant is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of an Incentive Bonus payable under this Plan or otherwise as described above, then the Participant shall be obligated to pay back to the Company, within
thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that the Participant challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of such amounts equal to the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be
required to be paid to the Company so that the Participant’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to any payment of benefits (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such payment) shall
be maximized (the “Repayment Amount”). The Repayment Amount with respect to the payment of benefits shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result in the Participant’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the
payment of such benefits being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, the Participant shall pay the Excise Tax. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 FUNDING OF PLAN; OTHER BENEFITS; FUTURE SERVICE 
 Section 7.1 Funding of Plan. The Plan will be unfunded, and benefits provided hereunder will be paid from the general assets of the Company. No
segregation of funds by the Company is or shall be required. 
 Section 7.2 Impact on Other Benefits. Amounts paid under the Plan are
intended to have no impact on any other employee benefit plans or other compensatory arrangements sponsored by the Company or made between the Company (or its subsidiaries or affiliates) and the Participant. 
 Section 7.3 Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as the Administrator may otherwise permit or as may be required by law: (1) no interest in or
benefit payable under the Plan will be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any action by a Participant to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber,
or charge the same will be void and of no effect, and (2) no interest in or benefit payable under the Plan will be in any way subject to any legal or equitable process, including, but not limited to, garnishment, attachment, levy, seizure, or
the lien of any person. This provision will be construed to provide each Participant, or other person claiming any interest or benefit in the Plan through a Participant, with the maximum protection against alienation, encumbrance, and any legal and
equitable process, including, but not limited to, attachment, garnishment, levy, seizure, or other lien, afforded his interest in the Plan (and the benefits provided thereunder) by law and any applicable regulations. 
  

 - 10 - 

 Section 7.4 No Guarantee of Future Service. Designation as a Participant shall not provide any
guarantee or promise to the Participant of continued service with the Company. The Company expressly retains the right to terminate the employment of the 
 Participant consistent with the terms of the Participant’s contractual arrangement with the Company, if any, the terms of which shall be unaffected by the terms of the Plan. This provision shall not be limited or abridged to any extent
by any other provision or the Plan which may suggest otherwise and shall be applied regardless of any such provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations to make payments under the Plan shall not be affected by the fact
that any defined term or other provision in the Plan is different than or not consistent with any defined term or other provision in any contractual arrangement the Participant has with the Company or in any other compensation or benefit plan of the
Company. 
 Section 7.5 No Vested Right to Benefits. No Participant or other person will have any right to, or interest in, any
benefits provided under the Plan upon termination of his employment or retirement occurring before the Closing Date or upon termination of Plan, except as specifically provided hereunder. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 Section 8.1 Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision(s) of any other communication, whether oral or written, made by
the Company, the Administrator, or any other individual or entity to employees of the Company or to any other individual or entity, the Company, by action of the Board, reserves the absolute and unconditional right to amend or terminate the Plan;
provided, however, that any amendment or termination of the Plan or a Participant’s Award Letter made after the Closing Date will be void and of no effect to the extent such amendment or termination would reduce or eliminate the amount of any
Incentive Bonus for any Participant, or otherwise adversely effect any rights or obligations of a Participant hereunder, without the written consent of the adversely affected Participant. All amendments to, or termination of, the Plan must be in
writing, signed by an authorized officer of the Company, and adopted by the Board. Any oral statements or representations made by the Company, the Administrator, or any other individual or entity that alter, modify, amend, terminate or are
inconsistent with the written terms of the Plan will be invalid and unenforceable and may not be relied upon by any Participant or by any other individual or entity.

 ARTICLE IX 
 DISPUTE MECHANISM 
 Section 9.1 Arbitration. If any legally actionable dispute arises
which cannot be resolved by mutual discussion between the Company and the Participant, then each party hereto agrees to resolve that dispute by binding arbitration before an arbitrator experienced in employment law. Said arbitration will be
conducted in accordance with the rules applicable to employment disputes of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services or such other arbitration service as the Company and the Participant agree upon, and the law of Washington. 
 Section 9.2 Legal Fees. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the Participant in prosecuting or defending any proceeding pursuant to
Section 9.1 hereof as they are incurred by the Participant in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings, together with any tax liability incurred by the Participant in connection with the receipt of such amounts; provided , however ,
that the payment of such expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Participant, to repay all amounts so advanced to the extent
the arbitrator in such proceeding affirmatively determines that the Company is the prevailing party, taking into account all claims made by any such party to such proceeding. 
 Section 9.3 Sole Remedy. The Company and the Participant agree that this promise to arbitrate covers any disputes that the Company may have
against the Participant, or that the Participant may have against the Company and all of its affiliated entities and their directors, officers, employees and agents, arising out of or relating to this Plan, including any claims concerning the
validity, interpretation, effect or violation of this Plan. The Company and the Participant further agree that arbitration as provided in this Article IX shall be the exclusive and binding remedy for any such dispute and will be used instead of any
court action, which is hereby expressly waived, except for any request by either party hereto for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief pending arbitration in accordance with applicable law. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of such arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the State of Washington, or federal law, if Washington law is preempted. The arbitration shall
be conducted in Seattle, Washington, unless otherwise mutually agreed. 
 ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 Section 10.2 Payments to Incompetents. If a Participant entitled to receive any benefits under the
Plan is determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion to be incompetent, or is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for benefits provided under the Plan, the
Administrator may pay such benefits to the duly appointed guardian or conservator of such person or to any third party who is determined in the discretion of the Administrator to be eligible to receive any benefit under the Plan for the account of
such Participant. Such payment will operate as a full discharge of all liabilities and obligations of the Company, the Administrator, and any other person under the Plan with respect to such benefits. 
 Section 10.3 Unknown Whereabouts. It will be the affirmative duty of each Participant to inform the Company of, and to keep on file with the
Company, his current mailing address. If a Participant fails to inform the Company of his current mailing address, neither the Administrator nor the Company will be responsible for any late payment or loss of benefits or for failure of any notice to
be provided or provided timely under the terms of the Plan to such individual. 
 Section 10.4 Jurisdiction. The Plan will be
construed, enforced, and administered according to the laws of the State of Washington, excluding any conflict-of-law rule or principle that might refer to the laws of another state. 
 Section 10.5 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Company that the provisions of this Plan and the Award Letter be enforced to the
fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any provision in this Plan or the Award Letter shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision,
without any action on the part of the Company or the Participants, shall be deemed amended to delete or to modify the portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion or modification to apply only with respect to the operation of
such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made, and such deletion or modification to be made only to the extent necessary to cause the provision as amended to be valid and enforceable. In case any provision of the
Plan or Award Letter is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision will not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan or the Award Letter, as applicable. 
 Section 10.6 Incorrect Information, Fraud, Concealment, or Error. Any contrary provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, in the event that the
Administrator or the Company pays a benefit, incurs a liability for failure to so pay a benefit, or makes any overpayment or erroneous payment to any individual or entity because of a human or systems error or because of incorrect information
provided by, correct information failed to be provided by, or fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment of any relevant fact (determined in the sole opinion of the Administrator) by, any Participant or other individual, the Administrator will be
entitled to recover in any manner deemed necessary or appropriate for such recovery (in the sole opinion of the Administrator) from such Participant or other individual such benefit paid or the amount of such liability incurred and any and all
expenses incidental to or necessary for such recovery. Human or systems error or omission will not affect in any way the amount of a benefit to which such Participant is otherwise entitled under the terms of the Plan.

 Section 10.7 Withholding of Taxes and Other Deductions. The Company shall satisfy any income and
employment tax withholding obligations related to the payment of an Incentive Bonus to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, as well as any other withholding authorized by the Participant or required by applicable law, by deduction from such
Incentive Bonus. 
 Section 10.8 Exclusion from Section 409A. The Plan (and the payments hereunder) are intended to qualify for
the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent they do not so qualify, they are intended to qualify for the involuntary separation
pay plan exception to Section 409A described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) to the maximum extent possible. To the extent Section 409A is applicable to the Plan, the Plan is intended to comply with
Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions, so as to avoid subjecting any Participant to the imposition of
any interest or penalty tax under Code Section 409A with respect to amounts payable under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent required in
order to avoid subjecting the Participant to the imposition of any interest or penalty tax under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable under this Agreement during the 6-month period immediately following the Participant’s
separation from service, within the meaning of Section 409A, shall instead be accumulated and paid on the first business day after the date that is 6 months following the Participant’s separation from service.
