Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Shares were disposed via a pro rata in-kind distribution of Rackspace Hosting, Inc. stock from Norwest Venture Partners VII-A, L.P., Norwest Venture Partners VIII, L.P., and Norwest Venture Partners IX, L.P. to their limited and general partners (the "Distribution").
( 2 )The Distribution resulted in a change in the form of beneficial ownership so that following the Distribution 107,554 shares were beneficially owned by Haque Family Partners, 199,742 shares were beneficially owned by Mr. Haque directly, 3,568 shares were beneficially owned by Itasca VC Partners VIII, LLP ("Itasca"), and 1,042 shares were beneficially owned by Genesis VC Partners IX, LLP ("Genesis" and, together with Itasca, the "General Partners"). The remaining shares were held by Norwest Venture Partners VII-A, L.P. (1,701,760 shares), Norwest Venture Partners VIII, L.P. (3,865,408 shares), and Norwest Venture Partners IX, L.P. (752,837 shares)(collectively, the "Partnerships"). By virtue of his position as managing partner or managing director of the Partnerships and the General Partners, Mr. Haque may be deemed to beneficially own such securities. Mr. Haque disclaims beneficial ownership of all such shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
( 3 )Shares sold by the General Partners. Following these sales, the General Partners no longer held any shares.
( 4 )The prices for these sales ranged from $19.11 to $19.15 per share. The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide, upon written request, to the SEC staff, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which the transaction was effected.
