On the Closing Date or, with respect to GrandBanks, the GrandBanks Initial Closing Date, each Purchaser severally agrees to make a loan to the Company (an “Initial Facility Loan”) in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s Initial Advance and, upon the making of such Initial Facility Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Purchaser a note evidencing the Initial Facility Loan of such Purchaser. Each note shall be in the principal amount of the Initial Facility Loan of the applicable Purchaser and substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Initial Facility Note” and, collectively, the “Initial Facility Notes”). Each Initial Facility Note shall represent the obligation of the Company to pay the principal amount of the Initial Facility Loan made by such Purchaser to the Company, together with interest and any other amounts payable thereon prescribed in the Initial Facility Notes.

1.03 October Facility Commitments and Notes.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including those set forth in Article 7 hereof, each Purchaser severally agrees to make loans to the Company, ratably with the other Purchasers based on such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the October Facility Commitments, in one or more fundings from time to time during the October Facility Loan Availability Period (each, an “October Facility Loan”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of its October Facility Commitment. Each October Facility Loan shall be made upon written notice delivered by the Company to the Purchasers at the address of such Purchaser specified on Schedule 1. Such notices shall be delivered no later than the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the proposed October Facility Loan. Upon receipt of such notice, each Purchaser shall, no later than 4:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date of such proposed October Facility Loan, advance to the Company an amount in immediately available funds equal to the October Facility Loan to be made by such Purchaser. Each October Facility Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, in each case in the aggregate among all Purchasers.


(b) On the first date that a Purchaser makes an October Facility Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Purchaser a note to evidence the October Facility Commitment of such Purchaser. Each note shall be in the principal amount of the October Facility Commitment of the applicable Purchaser and substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each an “October Facility Note” and, collectively, the “October Facility Notes”). Each October Facility Note shall represent the obligation of the Company to pay the amount of each Purchaser’s October Facility Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all October Facility Loans made by such Purchaser to the Company, together with interest and any other amounts payable thereon prescribed in the October Facility Notes.

1.04 Repayment and Reborrowing. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the date specified in this Agreement and in the Notes. When repaid, advances on the Loans may not be reborrowed.

1.05 Warrants.

(a) In connection with the making of the Loans, the Company has also authorized the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of warrants to purchase Common Stock. The Warrants shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto and are herein referred to individually as a “Warrant” and collectively as the “Warrants,” which terms shall also include any warrants delivered in exchange or replacement therefor. On the Closing Date or, with respect to GrandBanks, the GrandBanks Initial Closing Date, and in connection with making the Initial Facility Loans, the Company shall issue a Warrant to purchase a number of Warrant Shares equal to the Initial Warrant Number to each Purchaser (each an “Initial Warrant” and, collectively, the “Initial Warrants”). In addition to the Initial Warrants, on the date that a Purchaser makes an October Facility Loan, the Company shall issue an additional Warrant to such Purchaser to purchase a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number obtained by dividing (i) 10% of such October Facility Loan advanced by such Purchaser, by (ii) $3.00 (each an “October Warrant” and, collectively, the “October Warrants”).

(b) The Company and the Purchasers, as a result of good faith and arm’s length bargaining, agree that: (i) neither any Purchaser nor any Affiliate thereof has rendered any services to the Company in connection with this Agreement; (ii) the Warrants are not being issued as compensation; (iii) the Warrants are not being issued to any Purchaser as a commitment fee or other consideration for such Purchaser’s October Facility Commitment (it being understood, however, that the October Warrants will be issued upon, and in connection with, the actual funding of October Facility Loans in accordance with Section 1.05); (iv) the fair market value of the Initial Warrants if issued apart from the Initial Facility Notes is equal to, on a per Warrant Share basis, $0.3595; (v) the fair market value of the October Warrants if issued apart from the October Facility Notes is equal to, on a per Warrant Share basis, $0.3595; and (vi) all tax returns and other information returns of each party relative to this Agreement and the Notes and Warrants issued pursuant hereto shall consistently reflect the matters agreed to in (i) through (v) above. The Company and the Purchasers do further acknowledge and agree that the ratio of a Purchaser’s Warrant Number to its Initial Facility Loan amount is not, and is not intended to be, the same among all Purchasers and is a result of separate arm’s length negotiations between the Company, on the one hand, and each Purchaser on the other hand.

4


the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with a replacement warrant in the event this warrant is exercised for less than all of the Warrant Shares.

(iii) If there is no active public market for such Securities, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the Holder. The fair market value of a share of Warrant Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, who shall provide Holder with its determination in writing. In the event that Holder does not agree with such valuation, Holder shall provide the Company with written notice within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice from the Board of Directors. In the event that the Board of Directors and Holder cannot agree upon such fair market value, then the Board of Directors and the Holder shall mutually agree on an independent investment banker to determine the fair market value of the Securities; provided, however, that if the parties fail to agree on an independent investment banker, then the parties agree that the Boston, Massachusetts office of the American Arbitration Association shall be employed to choose an independent investment banker experienced in the business of evaluating or appraising the fair market value of securities for which there is no active public market, and such investment banker shall promptly appraise such Securities. All costs of any appraisal process pursuant to this Section 7(b) in determining the value of such Warrant Stock shall be paid one-half by the Company and one-half by the Holder.

8. Legend; Opinion. Upon exercise of this Warrant prior to an initial public offering of stock by the Company, all shares of Warrant Stock shall bear an appropriate legend noting that such shares are restricted securities. Holder shall be required to provide Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that any transfer of Warrant Shares is an exempt transaction under all federal and state securities laws.

9. Transfer of Warrant. Neither this Warrant nor the related Warrant Stock may be transferred except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to any available exemption from registration.

10. Termination. Except for an earlier termination as expressly provided elsewhere in this Warrant, this Warrant shall terminate on 6:00 p.m. Massachusetts time on the Termination Date. Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Holder, if, on the Termination Date, the aggregate fair market value of the Warrant Stock exceeds the aggregate Exercise Price, this Warrant shall automatically, and without any action of the Holder, be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to its termination on the Termination Date in accordance with Section 7(b).

11. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that:

a. Organization, Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

b. Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this agreement and to issue this Warrant. Once executed, this Warrant will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

12. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, upon the agreement of the Holder to indemnify the Company, or in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

13. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.

14. Miscellaneous. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience and reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof. Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed or waived orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Requisite Purchasers. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be delivered in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

Exhibit B

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

Shares of the Securities

(as defined in the attached Warrant) of

GlassHouse Technologies, Inc.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities, the undersigned hereby represents to GlassHouse Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as follows:

(a) The securities to be received upon the exercise of the Warrant (the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the undersigned has no present intention of selling, granting participation in or otherwise distributing the same, but subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control. By executing this Statement, the undersigned further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

(b) The undersigned understands that the Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant at the time of issuance may not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, on the ground that the issuance of such securities is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and state law exemptions relating to offers and sales not by means of a public offering, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated on the undersigned’s representations set forth herein.

(c) Except for a transfer by the undersigned, in the event the undersigned is a partnership, to a limited or general partner of such partnership, the undersigned agrees that in no event will it make a disposition of any Securities acquired upon the exercise of the Warrant unless and until (i) it shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and Company’s counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws has been taken or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws is available, and (B) the proposed transfer will not violate any of said laws.

(d) The undersigned acknowledges that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and represents that it is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Statement, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investments, and has the ability to bear the economic risks (including the risk of a total loss) of its investment. The undersigned represents that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the Company’s business and assets and to obtain any additional information which it considered necessary to verify the accuracy of or to amplify the Company’s disclosures, and has had all questions which have been asked by it satisfactorily answered by the Company.


(e) The undersigned acknowledges that the Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The undersigned is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market makers” (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
