EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed with respect to the Reporting Persons beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ZipRealty, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 1 supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed on March 27, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source and amount of funds (excluding commissions) used by the Funds in making their purchase of the shares of Common Stock owned by each of them in the aggregate was $7,133,228.02 from working capital.

The source and amount of funds (excluding commissions) used by Mr. Lewis individually in making his purchase of the shares of Common Stock owned by him personally in the aggregate was $28,541.09 from his personal funds.

One or more of the Reporting Persons effect purchases of securities through margin accounts which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and brokers’ credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Common Stock based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, and/or other investment considerations. The purpose of the acquisitions of the Common Stock was for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.

Consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more stockholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations, and plans of the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in a change in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or other changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer.

Except as disclosed above, none of the Reporting Persons has any other plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
