 Attn: Robert Davoli 
 Dear Mr. Davoli: 

We have requested, and you have agreed to, certain accommodations under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement among GlassHouse Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”) and the Purchasers (as defined therein) dated as of June 28, 2010 (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning given them in the Agreement. Sigma Partners 6, L.P., Sigma
Associates 6, L.P. and Sigma Investors 6, L.P. (collectively, “Sigma”) constitute the Requisite Purchasers. 
 The Company and Sigma
agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	The sale of certain of the Company’s intellectual property assets to Splunk Inc., which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, is consented to and
approved. 

  

	 	2.	The Notes will not be called until at least March 1, 2011, but will remain ahead of all other debt on the balance sheet in terms of maturity date.


  

	 	3.	In connection with a refinancing, restructuring or extension of the convertible promissory note issued by the Company to Dell Products LP, which matures on
March 6, 2011, Sigma expresses a willingness to defer calling the Notes beyond March 1, 2011 if such refinancing, restructuring or extension can be agreed to and finalized on terms satisfactory to Sigma. In consideration of such
willingness, the Company agrees to extend for one year the expiration date of the warrants held by the Lenders that would otherwise have expired on January 11, 2011. 


 

	 	4.	If Sigma agrees not to call the Notes until a date later than March 1, 2011, the Company and the Lenders will execute paperwork to provide that the interest on the
Notes from March 1, 2011 until such time as the Notes are called will accrue at 10%. 

  

	 	5.	Sigma hereby waives any and all defaults and Events of Default existing as of the date hereof and arising under the Agreement.


  

							
	Sincerely,	 		 	Mark A. Shirman,
		 		 	CEO

Dear Da.vid.1 

310 Second Street, S.E~ 

Washington 3, D. c. 

26 October J.954 

I was much engrossed &t the tin¥::: of' the arrival of your letter 

or 18 October 1954 and wanted a. cha.nee to l.ook a.t your article. I 

had a chance to do so le.at evening and, as you said. yourselt, "although it contains nothing nev, rt I noted 'With interest its manner 

ot presentation. l lllUSt add, however, that I was sorry to find 

that in the case of' one of your examples (Fig. 3) you merely copied 

from Bond and at that you introduced an errorl the message starts 

AlWm ( ,;. M) and not ABABA ( aa L). The error 'lf1J.Y' confuse your 

readers, unless they work out the whole message and t'ind tha.t it 

read.a MAKE HASTE SWVl1.3. 

I might also point out, in connection nth the Ba.lzac ncipher, 11 

tha.t the f'act that each edition had a d.Uterent version of the cipher 

does not "positivel.y11 corroborate Ba~erieB' ana,lysia. In this con .. 

nection, you will. f'ind tbat in printi~ the expl&na:tion of' Francia 

Bacon»s biliteral. cipher Som! editors (or com:positors) ot later editions 

iQ!Qsed the essential point o~ the cipher and mensed up the expla.na.tion, 

to the confusion or annoyance of the readera--bU.t this does not prove 

that there is no bilitere.l cipher system. 

Your letter to the editor or Life, in re Melchior'• piece therein, 

va.a duly noted by me. That Lite couJ.d. accept such a. tar-i"etched. writeup as Melchior's indicates how pressed editors must be nowadsyn to find 

«"uitable material.. This, I take it, mere~ reflects or arises f'rom the 

auperabundance of' i:ieriodicala in our otherwise vond.ert'ul country .. 

Thank you for your invitation to ~ a visit to the New York Cipmr 

Society / but ! r#Jxely get to Nev York nowa.daya and even if' I did get there 

it 'W'Ould be doubtful if I'd want to I'4Y such & vieit--I've got too much 

publicity aa it ia. 

Fina.Dy, I am glad to receive ;your reiterated. thanks for the River· 

ban'k Pub1ications and to note that you still value them. 

Sincerely, 

@'pproved for Release bv NSA on 07-16-2014 pursuant to E.O. 1352a
