Andrew's career in technology has included business and corporate development roles at eCount (acquired by Citicorp) and Yahoo!. He joined PayPal in 2001, where he worked closely with Peter in preparing for the company's IPO. After PayPal's sale to eBay, Andrew helped launch Clarium Capital and later founded a restaurant group in San Francisco. In 2008, Andrew rejoined Peter at Thiel Capital, where he led various international initiatives for Thiel Capital and Peter personally. Andrew received his B.A. in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania. JAMES FITZGERALD PARTNER James Fitzgerald James is a founding Partner at Valar Ventures. Prior to Valar, he was COO and General Counsel of Peter Thiel's global parent company, Thiel Capital, where he helped manage Peter's extensive network of investments and businesses. In that capacity, he worked closely with the Founders Fund, Mithril, and Clarium. Prior to joining Thiel Capital, James practiced law for seven years in the New York office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. He received his J.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles and his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University. INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS CONFIDENTIAL & TRADE SECRET 4 EFTA00591048 INTRODUCTION / TEAM E PETER THIEL CHAIRMAN Peter Thiel is a founding Partner and the Chairman of Valar. As a technology entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, he first gained attention for innovations in banking and startup finance. Today he is known as the mentor of the PayPal network of entrepreneurs. He works to accelerate innovation by identifying and funding promising technology ideas and by guiding successful companies to scale and dominate their industries. In 1998, Peter made e-commerce easier, faster, and more secure by co- founding and leading PayPal. In 2002, he sold PayPal to eBay and founded a global macro fund, Clarium. In 2004, he co-founded Palantir Technologies, which offers platforms for finance companies and intelligence, defense, and law enforcement communities to integrate, visualize, and analyze the world's information. In the same year, he made the first outside investment in Facebook. In 2005, he co-founded Founders Fund, a leading Silicon Valley venture capital fund that has pioneered new methods of venture financing that benefit founders. Through Founders Fund, as well as through his private investing, Peter has helped build the next generation of tech companies. Peter earned a B.A. in philosophy from Stanford University and a J.D. from Stanford Law School, where he occasionally teaches on globalization and technology and serves on the board of overseers of the Hoover Institution. His articles have appeared in Policy Review and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in San Francisco. As Chairman of Valar Ventures, Peter provides strategic advice and mentoring to Valar and its portfolio companies. INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS CONFIDENTIAL & TRADE SECRET OS EFTA00591049 VALAR ADVANTAGES / EXECUTIVE SUMMARY VALAR IS DIFFERENTIATED BY SEVERAL DISTINCT ADVANTAGES: TRACK RECORD: Valar's managers have shown exceptional investing acumen. Returns are at the top of class. with a net multiple and net IRR of 2.9x and 98.4%. respectively. THESIS & MARKET: Persistent inefficien- cies in venture markets outside the US provide compelling opportunities for future returns. Net Ivies ve es oi (.150/20U aM eve min:kilned en win," gross Flails Dv 01412Y6 for mre9ernern hes. moms end cloy TEAM: Valar's team has a successful and long record of working together to find and oversee investments. REPUTATION: In addition to an outstand- ing track record and strong credibility with portfolio companies, the team is advised by Peter Thiel. consistently named one of the most influential venture capitalists in the world. ACCESS: Valar has access to deals at propitious moments - when local VCs have moderately de-risked the company but before scale makes the investment obvious to large, less price-sensitive investors. We believe these characteristics serve as a solid foundation for outperformance in Valar's new fund. INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS CONFIDENTIAL & TRADE SECRET 06 EFTA00591050 VALAR ADVANTAGES / THESIS GLOBAL VENTURE CAPITAL IS HIGHLY INEFFICIENT COMPELLING OPPORTUNITIES While the abundance of capital in Silicon Valley has compressed returns for all but the best venture firms (most of which are closed to new investors). start- ups outside Silicon Valley have much more limited access to both capital and experienced start-up investors. This creates compelling, well-priced opportunities for Valar.

INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS CONFIDENTIAL & TRADE SECRET 09 EFTA00591053 VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO PHILOSOPHY THE FIRM IS FOUNDER FRIENDLY AND EMPHASIZES LONG-TERM VALUE CREATION: IT ENCOURAGES FOUNDERS TO RESIST SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL PRESSURES IN FAVOR OF MAXIMIZING LONG-TERM (BUT LIQUID) VALUE. The firm generally enters after a local partner has partially de-risked the investment but before standard metrics make the company an obviously good investment to purely financial investors. The firm prefers to lead initial investments of US $3-10 million. The firm does not believe board seats are inherently valuable, preferring to secure rights via observation and its financing documents. 4t INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS CONFIDENTIAL & TRADE SECRET IO EFTA00591054 VALAR ADVANTAGES / INVESTMENT PROCESS DEAL SOURCING Andrew and James have sourced all of Valar's deals and will continue to find new companies and manage the portfolio. Peter provides advice to the firm and its portfolio companies. Valar intends to run a concentrated portfolio of 7-10 significant investments in each fund, aggressively following on in its winners. DILIGENCE U. INVESTMENT DECISION Investment decisions must be unanimous between James and Drew: Peter provides advice and counsel prior to and following the investment decision.

Incumbent players, e.g. Intuit, are trapped in legacy architecture and have not successfully migrated to the cloud; they also view their accounting products as leaders for more profitable ancillary services and have under-developed their marquee products as a result. Because the opportunity for sales was large even without disrupting incumbents and because few investors were willing to underwrite a multi-year development cycle, Valar saw the opportunity for durable and compelling returns. HISTORY Based on the Valar team's reputation and Silicon Valley connections, a high profile New Zealand entrepreneur introduced one of Xero's directors to Valar in 2010. Valar was convinced that the founder had extraordinary execution abilities, a flair for sales, a plan for rapid global growth and the energy necessary to convert users away from entrenched systems. Xero's driven and experienced COO also gave Valar confidence that the firm would have the institutional heft to support the founder's vision. INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS OUTCOME The firm has grown quickly, taking dominant positions in New Zealand and Australia. It has launched in the US and will continue to expand in the Anglophone world. Valuation rose from less than US $100 million at the time of Valar's initial investment to US $2.9 billion (based on publicly traded prices as of 6/30/2014). Xero is now approaching its liquidity window.

Valar led the company's Series A and Series B financings in rounds that closed in early 2013 and 2014, respectively.

By creating a point-of-sale system that both customers and retailers find easy to use and native to the cloud, Vend makes offline retailing more efficient and reliable (Vend even works when a store temporarily loses connectivity). Retailers no longer have to bear the high fixed and variable costs of ad hoc payment and retail management systems, freeing them to spend time on their area of highest competitive advantage: curating compelling off-line shopping spaces. INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS HISTORY Vend was founded in New Zealand by Vaughan Rowsell, a programmer with a long history at emerging companies. Valar's partners met Vaughan while completing their first investment in Xero - a company Vaughan admired. Over the next two years, Valar followed Vend as it scaled in its home markets and expanded its team. Persuaded that the founder had both the deep technical knowledge to develop a comprehensive but intuitive retail system from first principles, complemented by a dedicated and business-savvy chairman, Valar led an expansion round of financing in 2014. OUTCOME The company has now opened offices in Australia, Canada, and the United States and growth is accelerating, with more than 8,000 stores now relying on Vend for their POS needs.

Direct sales, both online and offline, plus careful maintenance of lean inventory allow Oppa (much like Warby Parker in the US eyeglass market) to consistently exceed conventional industry margins. Brazil's import regime also favors domestic manufacturers like Oppa, providing additional barriers to entry for competitors (such as IKEA). HISTORY Oppa's founder had followed the Thiel team; contact was made and after several rounds of diligence, Valar invested. After Valar's first priced investment, Oppa came to the firm for expansion capital. Valar designed its follow-on investment to give the founder the time and flexibility to explore additional sales channels to accelerate growth otherwise unavailable with standard funding mechanisms. INTRODUCTION / VALAR ADVANTAGES / PORTFOLIO / TERMS OUTCOME Oppa has grown rapidly, gaining market share by maintaining high-quality, fresh designs manufactured quickly and locally. Sales roughly doubled during 2013 and Oppa is well positioned to meet or exceed that growth in 2014.
