of @Ventures Partners III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of

1. Amendment to Section 4.02 to Allow Certain Hedging Activities.
Section 4.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding, at the end thereof,
the following subsection (f):
"(f) The LLC may, at the request and on behalf of any Managing
Member, engage in hedging activities with respect to securities held in
the Vesting Escrow of such Managing Member, provided that (i) a
Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members approves in advance
any such hedging activities; (ii) the Managing Member for whose benefit
the hedging activities were undertaken bears all of the costs incurred
in connection with such activities and indemnifies the LLC in writing
with respect to any costs or losses incurred by the LLC in connection
with any such activities; and (iii) the securities held in such
Managing Member's Vesting Escrow may not be used to settle any "hedged"
position until such time as such securities are released to such
Managing Member from such Vesting Escrow.
The Voting Managing Members, by action of Two-thirds in Number
thereof, may determine to engage in hedging activities with respect to
all of the LLC's securities of a Portfolio Company which are held in
Vesting Escrows, in which case all Managing Members for whom a Vesting
Escrow which includes such Portfolio Company security shall be bound by
such hedging arrangements. If the Managing Members determine to hedge
Portfolio Company securities pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Managing Members shall bear all of the costs incurred in connection
with such activities and indemnify the LLC in writing with respect to
any costs or losses incurred by the LLC in connection with any such
activities; and the securities held in the Managing Members' Vesting
Escrows may not be used to settle any "hedged" position until such time
as such securities are released to the Managing Members from such
Vesting Escrow.
The Managing Members agree and acknowledge that, if the LLC
has engaged in hedging activities with respect to securities held in a
Vesting Escrow pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 4.02(f),
and an Event of Forfeiture occurs with respect to a
-1-
Member whose Vesting Escrow includes such hedged securities, then the
Managing Members who are entitled to a share of the forfeited Vesting
Escrow which includes such "hedged" securities will receive "hedged"
securities upon such forfeiture. In no event shall the Capital Member
or the LLC bear any of the costs associated with any hedging activities
permitted by this Section. Except as permitted in this Section 4.02(f),
the LLC shall not engage in any other hedging activities except with
the prior approval of the Capital Member."
2. No Other Amendments. In all other respects, the Agreement is hereby
ratified and confirmed.
