 AGREEMENT 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in the Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 Article 1. Purchase of Shares. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Seller hereby sells the Shares to the Company and the
Company hereby purchases the Shares for a total purchase price of One Million Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Eight Dollars and Eleven Cents ($1,999,998.11) (the “Purchase Price”). Upon execution of this Agreement,
the Company shall pay the Purchase Price for the Shares in immediately available funds by check or by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller, and Seller shall deliver stock certificates representing the Shares together with an executed
assignment separate from certificate transferring the Shares to the Company or otherwise properly endorsed for transfer. The Company’s officers shall thereafter cause the Shares to be cancelled on the books of the Company. 
  
 Article 2. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller
represents and warrants to the Company that: 
  
 (a) Seller is the
owner, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, security agreements, options, claims, charges, or restrictions, except as set forth in (a) the Founders Repurchase and Rights Agreement entered into by and among the Company, GNJ, Inc. (f/k/a
Rackable Systems, Inc.) (“OldCo”), Rackable Investment LLC (“Investment LLC”), Seller, Nikolai Gallo and Jack Randall dated as of December 23, 2002, (b) the Stockholders Voting Agreement entered into by and among the Company,
OldCo, Investment LLC, Seller, Nikolai Gallo and Jack Randall dated as of December 23, 2002, and (c) the Registration Rights 

  









 
Agreement entered into by and among the Company, OldCo, Investment LLC, Seller, Nikolai Gallo and Jack Randall dated as of December 23, 2002. 
  
 (b) Seller has full power and capacity to execute, deliver and, subject to
consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, perform under this Agreement, which has been duly executed and delivered by, and evidences the valid and binding obligation of the Seller in accordance with its terms. Upon its execution and
delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
  
 (c) Seller has entered into this Agreement based on its own investigation and analysis and that of its advisors, including legal counsel. Seller has had
an opportunity to review the Agreement and has conducted all due diligence and received all materials and information that it deems relevant, including the Company’s future business prospects, in connection with its decision to sell the Shares
under this Agreement. Seller has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management regarding the terms applicable to the Shares and regarding all information applicable to Seller’s decision to enter
into this Agreement. Seller understands that the Company’s plans for the future may result in the Company’s Common Stock becoming significantly more valuable, including potentially an initial public offering, and that the future value of
the Shares could far exceed the amounts such Seller will receive under this Agreement. Seller has determined to forego the possibility of such future value to obtain the consideration being paid pursuant hereto at the present time. The Company has
not made any representation to such Seller about the advisability of this decision or the potential future value of the Shares. 
  
 (d) Seller has had an opportunity to review the federal, state and local tax consequences of the sale of the Shares to the Company and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement with its own tax advisors. Seller is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Seller understands that he (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for its own tax liability, if any, that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Seller acknowledges that this Agreement is one of a series of three (3) such agreements, all of like tenor except as to the name of the seller, which
were negotiated and executed simultaneously with Nikolai Gallo and Jack Randall (the “Stock Repurchase Agreements”). 
  
 (f) Seller has executed the Subordination Agreement dated January 25, 2005 between Silicon Valley Bank and Seller, Jack Randall and Nikolai Gallo (the
“Subordination Agreement”). 
  
 Article 3.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Seller that: 
  
 (a) the authorized capital of the Company consists of (i) 23,320,000 shares of Series A Senior Convertible Participating Senior Preferred Stock, $0.001
par value (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), of which 19,320,000 shares are issued and outstanding, (ii) 23,320,000 shares 

  









 
of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), none of which are issued and outstanding, and (iii)

the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan. 
  
 (b) Subject to
approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Investment LLC is the holder of record of more than one half of the
Company’s outstanding voting securities. The Company has made its stock ledger available for review by Seller and its counsel. 
  
 Article 4. Consent to Transactions. Seller (in his capacity as direct owner or indirectly as trustee, custodian or otherwise) hereby
irrevocably consents to the purchase by the Company of shares from Nikolai Gallo and Jack Randall pursuant to the terms of the Stock Repurchase Agreements, and agrees that the transactions are fair and in the interest of the Company’s
stockholders. Seller and the Company acknowledge that Nikolai Gallo, Jack Randall, Investment LLC, Thomas K. Barton, Todd Ford, Joseph Coglitore, and Silicon Valley Bank (each a “Consenting Person”) have consented to the purchase by the
Company of the Shares from Seller. 
  
 Article 5.
Waiver. Seller irrevocably waives any claim against Company (other than any claims for the return of proceeds arising from the repayment of proceeds received under this Agreement as a result of claims other than by or through a Consenting
Person) and against any of the Company’s officers, directors, or affiliates (as well as attorneys of each of the foregoing), relating to any alleged noncompliance with any provision of Sections 500 et seq. of the California Corporations Code,
if applicable, or under Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the other Stock Repurchase Agreements. 
  
 Article 6. Arms Length Transaction. Each party has conducted its own investigation and analysis and freely and
independently bargained for this Agreement at arms length without reliance on any other party and each party is receiving reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration. Each party agrees that the value of the Shares is uncertain, and could be
substantially more than or substantially less than the Purchase Price. 
  
 Article 7. Miscellaneous 
  
 Section 7.1. Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. All disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively by the state
and federal courts located in Santa Clara County in the State of California, and each

 Section 7.3. Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than
those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby.
