1. The convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time, at the holder's election, and has no expiration date. The shares will automatically convert to common stock immediately prior to the closing of the issuer's initial public offering, which is estimated to occur on or about January 30, 2008. Each share of preferred stock is expected to convert into 0.15625 shares of the issuer's common stock.

2. The securities are held of record by Bank of America Ventures ("BAV"). Bank of America Corporation ("BAC") is the parent of BAV.

3. Under the terms of an investment management agreement between the Scale Management, LLC ("Scale"), BAC, BAV and BAIC, Scale manages the investments of the securities of the issuer of held of record by BAV and BAIC and therefore may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities of the securities held by BAV and BAIC. Scale disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities of the issuer held of record by BAV and BAIC. BAV and BAIC, as applicable, share dispositive power over such securities of the issuer with Scale. BAC, as the parent of BAV and BAIC, may also be deemed to share dispositive power over the securities of the issuer held of record by BAV and BAIC as a result of certain approval rights with respect to such securities.
