(1) Shares are held by Norwest Equity Partners VIII, LP ("NEP VIII"). Ownership of such shares was reported by NEP VIII on a Form 4 filed on April 23, 2009. This Form 3 is being filed due to a change in the organizational structure of NEP VIII that resulted in changes to the persons and entities that could be deemed beneficial owners of the shares. Norwest Venture Capital Management, Inc. ("NVCMI") is the managing member of the general partner of NEP VIII and may be deemed to share voting or dispositive power over such shares. NVCMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company ("WFC"). As such, WFC may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares. NVCMI and WFC disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.
