 Dear Matthew: 
 To ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make certain other agreed changes, Red Hat, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and you hereby agree to amend the executive transition agreement dated as of February 28, 2008 by and between the Company and you (the “Agreement”) as follows: 
  

	1.	The first sentence of the third paragraph of Section 3(b) of the Agreement is amended by inserting the following at the end before the period: 

 “, including the restricted stock from which outstanding PSUs were converted pursuant to Executive’s applicable Performance Share Unit
Agreement” 
  

	2.	including the restricted stock from which outstanding PSUs were converted pursuant to Executive’s Performance Share Unit AgreementSection 19 shall be amended to read as
follows: 

 “Section 409A of the Code. 
 A. If and to the extent any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to
Executive in connection with Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Section 409A of Code) is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and Executive is a
specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination Executive hereby agrees that he is bound, such portion of the payment,
compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the earlier of (i) the day that is six months plus one day after the date of separation from service (as determined under Section 409A) or (ii) the tenth (10th) day after the date of Executive’s death (as applicable, the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have
been paid to Executive during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule.

 B. For purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as
a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A, and any payments that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law
requires otherwise. Neither the Company nor Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A. This Agreement is intended
to comply with the provisions of Section 409A and the Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, be construed in accordance therewith. Terms defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms under Section 409A if and to
the extent required to comply with Section 409A. In any event, the Company makes no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to Executive or any other person if any provisions of or payments under this Agreement are determined to
constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but not to satisfy the conditions of that section. 
 C. Payments with respect
to arbitration expenses shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. 
 Except as modified by this letter or by other intervening amendments, all other terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

 Blue Harbour Strategic Value Partners Master Fund, LP 
 Blue Harbour Institutional Partners Master Fund, L.P. 
 646 Steamboat Road 
 Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 
 Attention: Mr. Clifton S. Robbins 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We understand that (i) Blue
Harbour Strategic Value Partners Master Fund, LP and Blue Harbour Institutional Partners Master Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Blue Harbour Funds”) are stockholders of Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (the “Company”) and
(ii) the Blue Harbour Funds and their respective affiliates may desire to acquire additional shares of capital stock of the Company without being subject to the restrictions under Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (“DGCL 203”) applicable to a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” (within the meaning of DGCL 203). As of the date hereof, the Company and the Blue Harbour Funds have no current
intention to engage in any discussions or negotiations with each other regarding a business combination transaction or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company. In consideration of the premises and the covenants of the parties set forth
in this agreement (the “Agreement”), and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the undersigned hereby agree as follows: 
 1. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Blue Harbour Funds that the Board of Directors of the Company has duly approved (the “Board
Approval”) the acquisition by the Blue Harbour Funds and their respective affiliates (collectively with the Blue Harbour Funds, “Blue Harbour”), whether in a single transaction or multiple transactions from time to time, of
15.00% or more of the shares of voting common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) issued and outstanding from time to time, subject to the limitations provided for in Section 4 hereof and subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof. 
 2. The Blue Harbour Funds hereby represent and warrant that, as of the
date of this Agreement and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 hereof, Blue Harbour is, in the aggregate, the owner (as such term is defined in DGCL 203) of less than 15.00% of the shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. 
 3. The Company hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date of this
Agreement, there are 56,990,830 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. 
 4. If (i) Blue Harbour acquires, without prior further
approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, beneficial or other ownership (including without limitation through the acquisition of options, warrants, convertible securities or similar rights or any other Derivative Instruments) of more than
19.95% (the “Threshold”) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, or (ii) Blue Harbour commences, without prior further approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, a tender offer seeking to acquire, directly
or indirectly, any Common Stock in excess of the Threshold, or (iii) Blue Harbour, without prior further approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, submits a formal shareholder proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy
statement (or seeks to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders) or makes a formal motion for action by the Company’s Board of Directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) relating to the composition
or size of the Company’s Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), or (iv) a Blue Harbour Fund breaches any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this 

 
Agreement and, if such breach is capable of being cured, such breach is not cured within 5 days of delivery by the Company of notice of such breach to the
Blue Harbour Funds, then, notwithstanding the Board Approval referred to in Section 1 of the Agreement, the provisions of DGCL 203 shall be applicable to a “business combination” (as defined in DGCL 203) with the Company engaged in
thereafter by Blue Harbour as if such Board Approval had not been granted; provided, however, that if Blue Harbour’s ownership exceeds the Threshold as a result of a stock repurchase or other anti-dilutive action by the Company, or if
Blue Harbour unintentionally exceeds the Threshold due to inaccurate public reporting by the Company that Blue Harbour does not know to be inaccurate at the time it exceeds the Threshold, then the Threshold shall be increased to a percentage equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Blue Harbour by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following such action (or based on
such public reporting, as the case may be), effective immediately following the decrease in the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock or on the date of such disclosure, as the case may be. 
 5. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures were upon
the same instrument. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto in respect of the subject
matter hereof. No provision of this Agreement may be: (a) amended except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto; or (b) waived except by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. This Agreement: (i) shall not be assignable by any of the parties hereto; and (ii) shall be binding on successors of the parties hereto. 
 6. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice of law principles that would compel the application of the laws of
any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be brought and
determined exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom located in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular
matter, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware). 
 7. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all
rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. 
 8. The parties hereto acknowledge that money
damages may not be an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party, in addition to any other rights and remedies which the parties may have at law or in equity, may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for specific performance or injunction (without any requirement to post a bond or other security) or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof.

 9. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision
of this Agreement. 
 10. As used in this Agreement, (i) the term “affiliate” means, with respect to any entity, any
other entity or person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such entity, (ii) the term “control” (including the terms
“controlled” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and (iii) the term “Derivative Instrument” means any option, warrant, convertible security, stock 

  

 2 

 
appreciation right, total return swap or other right or instrument with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price
related to the Common Stock or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of the Common Stock, and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of the
Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, any cash settled Derivative Instrument or other Derivative Instrument that does not involve the issuance or delivery of Common Stock shall be deemed to represent beneficial or other ownership of the number
of notional shares of Common Stock underlying such Derivative Instrument or otherwise used to calculate the value, payment or other settlement of such Derivative Instrument. 
 If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding and agreement between the Company and the Blue Harbour Funds, please so indicate by signing
below, whereupon this letter shall become a binding agreement between the parties hereto as of the date first above written.
