          On March 20, 2009, PlanetOut Inc. (the “Company” or “PlanetOut”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into Amendment No. 3 to Rights Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) amending the Company’s Rights Agreement dated January 4, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Rights Agreement, dated June 28, 2007 (the “First Amendment”), and Amendment No. 2 to Rights Agreement, dated January 8, 2009 (the “Second Amendment”). The Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed on January 8, 2007.

The Second Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.10 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2009.

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors on March 20, 2009 approved amending the terms of the Rights Agreement to exclude the Special Situations Parties from the definition of an Acquiring Person under the Rights Agreement until (a) the date on which the Board of Directors of the Company determines that it is not in the best interests of the Company to continue to exclude the Special Situations Parties from the definition of Acquiring Person under the Rights Agreement or (b) the date the Special Situations Parties, or any affiliates or associates of the Special Situations Parties, becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Company common stock, whichever is earlier.

          The Rights Agreement, as modified by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, remains in full force and effect.
