 Exhibit 10.5 
 GLASSHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 Employment Agreement 

 In consideration of my employment or continued employment, as the case may be, by Glass House Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”), and the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.001 (“Common Stock”), of the Company, I, the undersigned employee, hereby agree with the Company as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Proprietary Information. 

 (a) I understand that the Company possesses and will continue to possess information that has been or will be created, discovered, developed or otherwise become known to the Company (including, without limitation, information created,
discovered, developed or made known to me during the period of my employment by the Company to be used in the actual or anticipated business of the Company) or in which property rights have been or will be assigned or otherwise conveyed to the
Company, which information has commercial value in the business in which the Company is engaged and is treated by the Company as confidential or proprietary. All such information is hereafter called “Proprietary Information.” By way of
illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes processes, formulas, data, computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies,
new products, marketing plans, forecasts, unpublished financial statements, business forms, contract forms, report formats, budgets, projections, licenses, prices, costs, customer, client and supplier lists and employee information and any other
information of a similar nature not available to the public, whether oral or written, in drawings or in machine-readable form, and whether or not expressly marked “Confidential” or “Proprietary.” I acknowledge that the
development and acquisition of the Proprietary Information are the result of great effort and expense on the part of the Company and are critical to the success and survival of the Company. 
 (b) All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Company shall be the sole owner of all patents,
copyrights and other rights related thereto. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information. At all times, both during my employment by the Company and after its termination for whatever reason, I
will keep in strictest confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, and I will not use or disclose any Proprietary Information without the prior written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing my
duties as an employee of the Company. In the event of the termination of my employment by me or by the Company for any reason or upon three (3) business days after written request by the Company, I will deliver to the Company all documents,
notes, drawings, specifications, data, and other materials of any nature pertaining to my work with the Company and/or containing Proprietary Information, and I will not take with me or retain any of the foregoing, any reproduction of any of the
foregoing, or any Proprietary Information that is embodied in a tangible medium of expression. For purposes of the third and fourth sentence of this Section 1(b), Proprietary Information shall include confidential or proprietary information the
Company has received and may in the future receive from third parties, which is subject to the Company’s obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. 
  

	 	2.	Developments, Etc.  

 (a)
I will promptly disclose to the Company (or any persons designated by it) all processes, formulas, data, computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques,
strategies and new products, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment that are
related to or useful in the actual or anticipated business of the Company, result from tasks assigned to me by the Company, or result from the use of premises owned, leased or contracted for by the Company (all of the foregoing are hereinafter
referred to as “Developments”). To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Developments will be deemed work made for hire. I will also promptly disclose to the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to receive all such disclosures in
confidence, all other processes, formulas, data,

 
computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies and new products, whether or not
patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statues, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment for the purpose of determining whether they constitute
Developments. The provisions of this Section 2 will apply to all Developments which are conceived or developed during the term of my employment with the Company, whether or not further development or reduction to practice may take place after
termination of my employment. 
 (b) I agree that all Developments shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Company
shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Developments. I further agree as to all such Developments to assist the Company in
every proper way (but at the Company’s expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to said Developments in any and all countries, and to that end I will execute all documents
for use in applying for and obtaining such patents, copyrights and other rights and protections and enforcing such Developments, as the Company may desire, together with any assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. My
obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to such Developments in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall
compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance. 
 3. Former Employment. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence
proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. I represent, as part of
the consideration for the offer of employment extended to me by the Company and of my employment or continued employment (as the case may be) by the Company, and the grant of options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company that I have not
brought and will not bring with me to the Company for use in the performance of any of my responsibilities for the Company any materials or documents of a former employer that are not generally available to the public, unless I have obtained express
written authorization from the former employer for their possession and use. I also understand that, in my employment with the Company, I am not to breach any obligation of confidentiality that I have to former employers, and I agree that I shall
fulfill all such obligations during my employment with the Company. 
 4. Other Employment; Extent of Service. I agree
that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Company’s prior express written consent, engage in any employment or business other than for the Company. During the term of my employment, I agree to use my best
efforts in, and shall devote substantially all of my working time, attention, skill and energies to, the advancement of the interests of the Company and the performance of my duties and responsibilities in connection with my employment with the
Company. 
 5. Covenant Not to Compete. 
 (a) I agree that in the event I am terminated from Company for Cause or resign for a reason other than Good Reason, I will not, for a period of one (1) year after my separation from Company, serve as
a compensated or uncompensated employee, or provide any labor or services for any company, that is directly competitive with the Company at the time of my separation. 
 1. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined as theft of Company property, falsification of Company documents or records or improper use or disclosure of Company’s
confidential or proprietary information, the failure or inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties after written notice from Company and a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure or inability, conviction of any felony or conviction of
any criminal act (other than ordinary traffic violations) which impairs or calls into question they ability to perform duties with Company, material breach of Company’s written policies which

  

 2 

 
materially and adversely affects Company and which are not cured within a reasonable time period, and/or the occurrence of severe physical or mental disability such that I cannot perform my
duties with or without reasonable accommodation. 
 2. “Good reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
without my express written consent: (a) a material diminution in my authority or responsibilities; (b) a material reduction in my salary, benefits or other fringe benefits (unless reductions comparable in amount and duration are
concurrently made for all other Employees of the Company with responsibilities, organizational level and title comparable to mine); or (c) without my consent, the relocation of my principal place of employment more than 50 miles from my
then-current principal place of employment or the imposition of travel requirements substantially more demanding on me. 
 3.
This provision (Section 5) shall not become effective until I have completed six (6) months of employment. 
 (b) The
restrictions against competition set forth in this Section 5 are considered by the parties to be reasonable for the purposes of protecting the business of the Company. However, if any such restriction is found by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, I agree that it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range
of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. 
 6. Non-Solicitation. During the period of my
employment with the Company and for one (1) year following the termination of my employment for any reason, I agree that I will not, either on my own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, (i) hire,
solicit, or encourage to leave the employ of the Company any person who is or was an employee of the Company at any time during my employment with the Company, or (ii) solicit, entice away or divert all or part of the business of any person or
entity who is then a client or customer of the Company or who was a client or customer of the Company at the time of my employment, or of any potential client or customer of the Company of which I had knowledge during my employment by the Company. I
agree that client or customer lists, business contracts and related items are the property of the Company and are considered Proprietary Information hereunder. The restrictions described herein shall apply to my activities anywhere in the United
States. 
 7. Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge and agree that the extent of damage to the Company in the event of a
breach by me of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement would be difficult or impossible to ascertain and that there would be no adequate remedy at law available to the Company in the event of such breach. Consequently, I agree that, in the
event of such breach, the Company shall be entitled to enforce any or all of the covenants contained in this Agreement by injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to receiving damages or other relief to which the Company may be entitled.

 8. Enforcement. If any portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall be
enforceable to the maximum extent possible. 
 9. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns. 
 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under
the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of laws principles. I agree that the state or federal courts located within The Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of this
Agreement, and I hereby agree to submit to personal jurisdiction of such courts. 
 11. No Contract of Employment.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a contract of employment between myself and the Company or as a commitment on the part of the Company to retain me in any capacity for any period of time. 
  

 3 

 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the
Company and me relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous written or oral agreements between us relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 I HAVE READ ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND I UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO, EACH OF SUCH PROVISIONS.

 4Executive Retention Agreement between the Registrant and Ken Hale

 Exhibit 10.6 
 GLASSHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 Executive Retention
Agreement 
 This Executive Retention Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of
August 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Kenneth W. Hale (the “Employee”) and GlassHouse Technologies, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are
defined in Section 1 below. 
 RECITALS 
 A. The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility of an Involuntary Termination exists,
particularly in connection with a Change in Control, and that such possibility may result in the distraction of the Employee to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. 
 B. The Board believes that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued employment and dedication of the
Employee without distraction from the possibility of an Involuntary Termination and related events and circumstances. 
 C. In
order to provide the Employee with enhanced financial security and sufficient encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of an Involuntary Termination, the Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Employee
with certain severance benefits upon an Involuntary Termination under the circumstances described below. 
 D. The Board
believes it is appropriate for the Employee, as a member of the Company’s management team, to receive certain severance benefits in the event of Death or Disability. 
 AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and
the continued employment of Employee by the Company, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Definition of Terms. The
following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) Cause. “Cause” shall
mean (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Employee in connection with his responsibilities as an employee which is intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Employee, (ii) Employee’s conviction of a
felony which the Board reasonably believes has had or will have a material detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business, (iii) a willful act by the Employee which constitutes misconduct and is materially injurious to the
Company, or (iv) continued and willful failure by the Employee to perform reasonably assigned duties to the Company after there has been delivered to the Employee a written demand for performance from the Company which describes the basis for
the Company’s belief that the Employee has failed to perform his duties. 
 (b) Change of Control. “Change of
Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 (i) the approval by stockholders of the Company of a
merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by

 
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of
the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; 
 (ii) the approval by the
stockholders of the Company or the Board of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or 
 (iii) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
becoming the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding
voting securities. 
 (c) Death. “Death” shall mean the death of the Employee, regardless of cause. 

(d) Disability. “Disability” shall mean the inability of the Employee to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in Death or which has lasted, or can be reasonably expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. 
 (e) Involuntary Termination. “Involuntary Termination” shall mean the termination of the Employee’s employment with
the Company by reason of: 
 (i) The involuntary discharge of the Employee by the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the
Company employing him) for reasons other than Cause; or 
 (ii) the voluntary resignation of the Employee following any of the
following events, if such event occurs without the Employee’s express written consent: (A) a substantial reduction of the Employee’s duties, position or responsibilities relative to the Employee’s duties, position or
responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, unless the reduction occurs solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Financial Officer of a corporation remains
as such following a change of control of such corporation but is not made the Chief Financial Officer of the acquiring corporation); (B) a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office
space and location) available to the Employee immediately prior to such reduction; (C) a reduction by the Company of the Employee’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to such reduction by more than 20%, unless such reduction is
made in connection with a reduction in base salaries of employees of the Company generally; (D) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits to which the Employee is entitled immediately prior to such reduction
with the result that the Employee’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced, unless such reduction is made in connection with a reduction in the kind or level of employee benefits of employees of the Company generally; (E) the
relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from his current location; or (F) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successors contemplated in Section 4(a)
below. 
 (f) Termination Date. “Termination Date” shall mean the effective date of any notice of termination
delivered by one party to the other hereunder or, if sooner, the date of Death. 
 2. At-Will Employment. The Company and
the Employee acknowledge that the Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be “at will,” as defined under applicable law. If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason, the Employee shall not be entitled to any
payments, benefits, damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by this Agreement, or as may otherwise be established under the Company’s then existing employee benefit plans or policies at the time of termination. The Employee is
not waiving any rights that he may have under applicable governing law.

 3. Severance Benefits. 
 (a) Termination Following A Change of Control. If the Employee is subject to an Involuntary Termination upon or at any time within
twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, the Employee shall be entitled to the following severance benefits:

Six (6) months of Employee’s base salary as in effect as of the date of such termination, less applicable withholding, payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Involuntary Termination; 
 (ii) The vesting of all stock options and shares of restricted stock granted by the Company to the Employee prior to the Change of Control
shall be accelerated in full; 
 (iii) The same level of health (i.e., medical, vision and dental) coverage and benefits as in

of 1986, as amended; and (ii) Employee elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA. The Company shall

Employee’s base salary as in effect as of the date of such termination, less applicable withholding, payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Involuntary Termination; 
 (ii) The vesting of all stock options and shares of restricted stock granted by the Company to the Employee prior to the Termination Date
shall be accelerated such that the Employee is vested in the number of stock options and shares of restricted stock as the Employee would have been vested had the Employee’s employment with the Company continued for a period of twelve
(12) months following the Involuntary Termination; 
 (iii) The same level of health (i.e., medical, vision and dental)
coverage and benefits as in effect for the Employee on the day immediately preceding the day of the Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that (i) the Employee constitutes a qualified beneficiary, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (ii) Employee elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to
COBRA. The Company shall continue to provide Employee with health coverage until the earlier of (i) the date the Employee is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA and (ii) six (6) months from the
Termination Date. 
 (c) Termination as a Result of Death or Disability. If the Employee’s employment with the
Company is terminated as a result of Death or by the Employee due to Disability, then the Employee (or his estate) shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: 
 (i) The vesting of all stock options and shares of restricted stock granted by the Company to the Employee prior to the Termination Date shall be accelerated such that the Employee is

  

 -3- 

 
vested in the number of stock options and shares of restricted stock as the Employee would have been vested had the Employee’s employment with the Company continued for a period of twelve
(12) months following the Termination Date. 
 (d) General Release of Claims. Any other provision of this Agreement
notwithstanding, the Employee (or his estate) shall not be entitled to any severance benefits pursuant to this Agreement unless the Employee (or his estate) has (i) executed a general release of all claims (in a form prescribed by the Company)
and (ii) returned all property of the Company in the Employee’s possession.

Vacation; Expenses. Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, termination of the Employee’s employment: (i) the Company shall pay the Employee any unpaid base salary due for periods prior to the Termination Date;

Termination Date; and (iv) following submission of proper expense reports by the Employee, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Employee in connection with the business of the
Company prior to the Termination Date. These payments shall be made promptly upon termination and within the period of time mandated by law. 
 4. Successors. 
 (a) Company’s Successors. Any successor to the
Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement and agree expressly to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes
under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 4(a) or which becomes bound by the terms
of this Agreement by operation of law. 
 (b) Employee’s Successors. Without the written consent of the Company,
Employee shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement and all rights of Employee hereunder shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 5. Notices. 
 (a) General. Notices and all other communications
contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of the Employee,
mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be
directed to the attention of its President. 
 (b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Employee’s
employment by the Company for Cause or by the Employee in circumstances described in Section 1(e)(ii) shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this Section. Such notice shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and shall specify the Termination Date
(which shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Employee to include in the notice any fact or circumstance

  

 -4- 

 
which contributes to a showing of Involuntary Termination shall not waive any right of the Employee hereunder or preclude the Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his
rights hereunder. 
 6. Arbitration. 
 (a) Any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof, shall be
settled by binding arbitration to be held in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”). The
arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in
any court having jurisdiction. 
 (b) The arbitrator(s) shall apply Massachusetts law to the merits of any dispute or claim,
without reference to conflicts of law rules. The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by federal arbitration law and by the Rules, without reference to state arbitration law. The Employee hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located in Massachusetts for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement or relating to any arbitration in which the parties are participants. 
 (c) The Employee understands that nothing in this Section 6 modifies the Employee’s at-will employment status. Either the Employee
or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 
 (d) THE EMPLOYEE HAS READ AND
UNDERSTANDS THIS SECTION 6, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. THE EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDS THAT SUBMITTING ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH OR
TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING ARBITRATION, CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF THE EMPLOYEE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS: 
 (i) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE OF EMPLOYMENT; BREACH OF CONTRACT, BOTH EXPRESS AND
IMPLIED; BREACH OF THE COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT OR

STATUTE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT, THE
CALIFORNIA FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT, AND LABOR CODE SECTION 201, et seq; AND

OUT OF ANY OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT OR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION. 
  

 -5-

shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Employee may receive from any other source. 
 (b) Waiver. No
provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by
either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement
of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and cancelled. 
 (d) Choice of
Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the conflicts of law rules, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 GLASSHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 

December 22, 2009 
 Kenneth
W. Hale 
 Dear Ken: 
 You and Glasshouse Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) signed an Executive Retention Agreement dated August 1, 2004 concerning severance benefits, including those following a change in control of the Company (the
“Retention Agreement”). To avoid potential adverse tax consequences imposed by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Retention Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 1. The following new provisions are hereby added as new Subsections (f), (g) and (h) at the end of Section 3 of the
Retention Agreement: 
 (f) Commencement of Severance Payments. Wherever this Agreement refers to a
termination of employment or similar event, including (without limitation) an Involuntary Termination, the reference will be construed as a Separation. The preceding sentence supersedes any contrary provision of this Agreement. The Company will
deliver the release referred to in Subsection (d) to Employee within 5 days after Employee’s Separation. Employee must execute and return the release within the period of time set forth in the form of release. Payment of the severance pay
provided for under Subsection (a)(i) or (b)(i), as applicable, will be made within thirty (30) days after Employee’s Separation, but only if Employee has complied with the release and other preconditions set forth in Subsection (d).

 (g) Mandatory Deferral of Payments. If the Company determines that Employee is a “specified
employee” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of Employee’s Separation, then the severance pay under Subsection (a)(i) or (b)(i), but only to the extent subject to Section 409A of the Code, will be paid
