 6Stock Option Exercise Notice and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement

 Exhibit 10.30 
 SUPER MICRO COMPUTER, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE 
 AND 
 RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of August 26, 2008 (the “Purchase Date”), by
and between Super Micro Computer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Charles Liang (“Purchaser”). 
 1. Exercise of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby exercises his or her option to purchase 925,000 shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the Company granted to Purchaser
on December 9, 1998 (the “Option”) and evidenced by the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement entered into between the Company and Purchaser on December 9, 1998 (the “Option Agreement”). The Option exercise
price is $0.20 and $0.375 per Share (the “Per Share Exercise Price”), and the total purchase price for the Shares is $285,625.00 (the “Purchase Price”). As subsequently used in this Agreement, the term
“Shares” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in addition to or in replacement of the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or stock splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which Purchaser becomes entitled by
reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares. 
 2. Time, Place and Method of Exercise. The purchase and sale of the
Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Purchase Date, accompanied by an Assignment Separate from Certificate duly endorsed (with the date
and number of shares blank) in the form attached to this Agreement. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be effected by means of a “net exercise” procedure, pursuant to which (a) the Company shall reduce the number of Shares otherwise
issuable to Purchaser upon the exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the Purchase Price, and (b) Purchaser shall pay to the Company in cash the remaining balance of the
Purchase Price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued. For this purpose, the “Fair Market Value” of Shares shall be determined by the closing price of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the
Purchase Date as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market. On the Purchase Date, the Company will issue to Purchaser a certificate representing the net number of Shares remaining following such reduction (the “Net Shares”), which shall
be determined in accordance with the following formula: 
 N = X(A-B)/A, where 
 “N” = the number of Net Shares to be issued to Purchaser upon exercise of the Option (rounded down to the nearest whole number);

 “X” = the total number of Shares with respect to which Purchaser has elected to
exercise the Option; 
 “A” = the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of the Common Stock of the Company
determined on the Purchase Date; and 
 “B” = the Per Share Exercise Price, as set forth above. 
 Following such net exercise procedure, the number of Shares remaining subject to the Option, if any, shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the number
of Net Shares issued to Purchaser and (ii) the number of Shares deducted by the Company for payment of the Purchase Price. 
 3.
Vesting of Net Shares. 
 (a) Normal Vesting. Except as provided by Section 3(b), Purchaser
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Option Agreement to the contrary, the Net Shares acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall initially be entirely unvested and subject to both the Unvested
Share Reacquisition Right described in Section 4 and the restrictions on the transfer of Shares described in Section 5. The Net Shares shall become Vested Shares as follows: 
 Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, provided that Purchaser’s Service has not terminated prior to the applicable Vesting Date, one fifth
(1/5) of the total number of Net Shares shall become Vested Shares on the first trading day of each of the first five (5) calendar years commencing after the Purchase Date (each of which shall be a “Vesting Date”).

 For purposes of determining the number of Vested Shares following an Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with any business
entity which is a member of the Company Group at the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such business entity is a member of the Company Group both before and after the Ownership Change Event. 
 (b) Acceleration of Vesting upon Certain Events. Subject to Section 3(c), in the event of (i) the Involuntary
Termination of Purchaser or (ii) the consummation of a Change in Control (provided that Purchaser’s Service has not terminated prior to such Change in Control), the vesting of the Net Shares shall be accelerated in full, such that the
total number of Net Shares which have not previously become Vested Shares shall be deemed Vested Shares effective as of the date of Purchaser’s Involuntary Termination or immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control, as the
case may be. 
 (c) Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code. 
 (i) Excess Parachute Payment. In the event that any acceleration of vesting pursuant to this Agreement and any other payment
or benefit received or to be received by Purchaser would subject Purchaser to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an excess parachute payment
under Section 280G of the Code, the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under this Agreement, together with such other payments and benefits, shall not exceed the amount which results in the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser.

  

 -2- 

 (ii) Determination by Independent Accountants. Upon the occurrence of any
event that might reasonably be anticipated to give rise to the acceleration of vesting under Section 3(b) (an “Event”) and a resulting excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall promptly request a
determination in writing by independent public accountants selected by the Company (the “Accountants”) of the amount of such acceleration of vesting, if any, that would result in the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser. Unless
the Company and Purchaser otherwise agree in writing, the Accountants shall determine and report to the Company and Purchaser no later than ten (10) business days following the date of the Event the amount of such acceleration of vesting,
which, taking into account the other payments and benefits to which Purchaser is entitled, would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser. The Company shall promptly cause that portion, if any, of the acceleration of vesting under
Section 3(b) which exceeds the amount producing the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser to be rescinded and to be void ab initio. For the purposes of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith
interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Purchaser shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their
required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Accountants may reasonably charge in connection with their services contemplated by this Section 3(c)(ii). 
 4. Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. 
 (a) Grant of Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. In the event that (a) Purchaser’s Service is terminated, or, (b) Purchaser, Purchaser’s legal representative, or other holder of
shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, attempts to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (other than pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) any shares which are not Vested Shares (“Unvested Shares”), the
Company shall automatically reacquire the Unvested Shares, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the “Unvested Share Reacquisition Right”). 
 (b) Ownership Change Event, Dividends, Distributions and Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an
Ownership Change Event, a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company paid in shares of Common Stock or other property, or any other adjustment upon a change in the capital structure of the Company, any and all new, substituted or
additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic dividends paid on Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of Unvested Shares shall be
immediately subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right and included in the terms “Shares” and “Unvested Shares” for all purposes of the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as the Unvested
Shares immediately prior to the Ownership Change Event, dividend, distribution or adjustment, as the case may be. 
  

 -3- 

 5. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. No Shares may be sold, exchanged, transferred,
assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, including by operation of law, in any manner which violates any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, until the date on which such shares
become Vested Shares, and any such attempted disposition shall be void. The Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any Shares which will have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement
or (b) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares will have been so transferred. In order to enforce its rights under this Section, the Company shall
be authorized to give a stop transfer instruction with respect to the Shares to the Company’s transfer agent. 
 6.
Escrow. 
 (a) Appointment of Agent. To ensure that Shares subject to the Unvested Share
Reacquisition Right will be available for reacquisition, Purchaser and the Company hereby appoint the Secretary of the Company, or any other person designated by the Company, as their agent and as attorney-in-fact for Purchaser (the
“Agent”) to hold any and all Unvested Shares and to sell, assign and transfer to the Company any such Unvested Shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. Purchaser understands that
appointment of the Agent is a material inducement to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Agent shall not be personally liable for any act the Agent may do or omit to do hereunder as
escrow agent, agent for the Company, or attorney in fact for Purchaser while acting in good faith and in the exercise of the Agent’s own good judgment, and any act done or omitted by the Agent pursuant to the advice of the Agent’s own
attorneys shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Agent may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purporting to be genuine and may resign at any time. 
 (b) Establishment of Escrow. Purchaser authorizes the Company to deposit the Unvested Shares with the
Company’s transfer agent to be held in book entry form, and Purchaser agrees to deliver to and deposit with the Agent each certificate, if any, evidencing the Shares and an Assignment Separate from Certificate with respect to such book entry
shares and each such certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of Shares blank) in the form attached to this Agreement, to be held by the Agent under the terms and conditions of this Section 6 (the “Escrow”). Upon the
occurrence of an Ownership Change Event, a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company paid in shares of Common Stock or other property (other than regular, periodic dividends paid on Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s
dividend policy), or any other adjustment upon a change in the capital structure of the Company in the character or amount of any outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, any and all
new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of his or her ownership of the Shares that remain, following such Ownership Change Event, dividend, distribution or change in capital structure,
subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right shall be immediately subject to the Escrow to the same extent as the Shares immediately before such event. The Company shall bear the expenses of the Escrow. 
  

 -4- 

 (c) Delivery of Shares to Participant. The Escrow
shall continue with respect to any Shares for so long as such Shares remain subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. Upon termination of the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right with respect to Shares, the Company shall so notify the Agent
and direct the Agent to deliver such number of Shares to Purchaser. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice, the Agent shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser the Shares specified by such notice, and the Escrow shall terminate with
respect to such Shares. 
 7. Tax Matters. 
 (a) Tax Withholding. 
 (i) In General. At the time this Agreement is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, Purchaser hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to
Purchaser, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax (including any social insurance) withholding obligations of the Company Group, if any, which arise in connection
with the Shares, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (a) the transfer of Shares to Purchaser, (b) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any Shares, or (c) the transfer by Purchaser of any Shares. The
Company shall have no obligation to deliver the Shares or to release any Shares from the Escrow established pursuant to Section 6 until the tax withholding obligations of the Company Group have been satisfied by Purchaser. 
 (ii) Assignment of Sale Proceeds; Payment of Tax Withholding by Check. Subject to compliance with applicable law and the
Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Company shall permit Purchaser to satisfy the Company Group’s tax withholding obligations in accordance with procedures established by the Company providing for either (i) delivery by Purchaser to
the Company or a broker approved by the Company of properly executed instructions, in a form approved by the Company, providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale with respect to some or all of the Vested Shares, or
(ii) payment by Purchaser’s check. Purchaser shall deliver written notice of any such election to the Company on a form specified by the Company for this purpose at least thirty (30) days (or such other period established by the
Company) prior to the date on which the Company’s tax withholding obligation arises (the “Withholding Date”). If Purchaser elects payment by check, Purchaser agrees to deliver a check for the full amount of the required tax
withholding to the applicable member of the Company Group on or before the third business day following the Withholding Date. If Purchaser elects payment by check but fails to make such payment as required by the preceding sentence, the Company is
hereby authorized, at its discretion, to satisfy the tax withholding obligations through any means authorized by this Section 7(a), including by directing a sale for the account of Purchaser of some or all of the Vested Shares from which the
required taxes shall be withheld, by withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Purchaser or by withholding shares in accordance with Section 7(a)(iii). 
  

 -5- 

 (iii) Withholding in Shares. The Company may require Purchaser to satisfy
all or any portion of the Company Group’s tax withholding obligations by deducting a number of whole, Vested Shares otherwise deliverable to Purchaser or by Purchaser’s tender to the Company of a number of whole, Vested Shares or vested
shares acquired otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement having, in any such case, a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding
obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. 
 (b) Section 83(b) of the
Code. 
 (i) Application of Section 83(b). Purchaser understands that Section 83 of the Code
taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Shares, if anything, and the fair market value of the Shares as of the date on which the Shares are “substantially vested,” within the meaning of Section 83 of
the Code. In this context, “substantially vested” means that the right of the Company to reacquire the Shares pursuant to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right has lapsed. Purchaser understands that Section 83(b) of the Code provides
for an election by which Purchaser may have his or her taxable income determined at the time he or she acquires the Shares rather than when and as the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right lapses by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code with the Internal Revenue Service no later than thirty (30) days after the date of acquisition of the Shares. Purchaser understands that by not making a timely filing under Section 83(b), Purchaser will recognize ordinary income as
the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right lapses on the difference between the purchase price, if anything, and the fair market value of the Shares at the time such restrictions lapse. Purchaser further understands, however, that if Shares with respect
to which an election under Section 83(b) has been made are forfeited to the Company pursuant to its Unvested Share Reacquisition Right, such forfeiture would be treated as a sale on which there is realized a loss equal to the excess (if any) of
the amount paid (if any) by Purchaser for the forfeited Shares over the amount realized (if any) upon their forfeiture. If Purchaser had paid nothing for the forfeited Shares and received no payment upon their forfeiture, Purchaser understands that
he or she would be unable to recognize any loss on the forfeiture of the Shares even though Purchaser incurred a tax liability by making an election under Section 83(b). 
 (ii) Waiver of Right to Make Election under Section 83(b). Purchaser hereby waives any and all right Purchaser
otherwise would have to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to Shares acquired by Purchaser subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. Purchaser understands that he or she should consult with his or her tax
advisor regarding the effect of this waiver of the right to file with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Shares. 
 8. Rights as a Stockholder. Purchaser shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the date of the issuance of a
certificate for such Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date
is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement. Subject the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Shares
deposited in the Escrow pursuant to Section 6. 
  

 -6- 

 9. Rights As Employee, Consultant or Board Member. If Purchaser is an employee of the
Company Group, Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a member of the Company Group and Purchaser, Purchaser’s employment is “at will” and is for
no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Purchaser any right to continue in the Service of any member of the Company Group or interfere in any way with any right of any member of the Company Group to terminate Purchaser’s
Service at any time. 
 10. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Unvested Share Reacquisition
