Explanation of Responses:
1. Granted pursuant to the Rackspace Hosting, Inc. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan.
2. These shares were granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU's). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Rackspace Hosting, Inc. common stock. 1/4 of the shares under the RSU grant shall vest and be delivered promptly after each anniversary of the grant date of March 6, 2014.
3. These shares were granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU's).

The award agreement contains a vesting acceleration provision that would accelerate the vesting of the RSU in the event that Mr. Rhodes is terminated without "Cause" or terminates his employment for "Good Reason."
4. 1/4 of the shares shall vest within a four year period provided that the Issuer's common stock closing price has increased 25% from the closing price of the Issuer's common stock at any time during the seven year agreement.
