Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Each share of Series B Participating Preferred Stock is currently convertible into one share of Issuer's Common Stock for no additional consideration. Each such share will convert automatically into one share of Issuer's Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering for no additional consideration.
(2)	None.
(3)	Number of shares and exercise price does not reflect a 1-for-3.88 reverse stock split to be effected by the Issuer immediately prior to the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering.
(4)	Since the date of issuance, the terms of Series B Participating Preferred Stock have provided: (a) each share shall accrue dividends on a daily basis at 12% per annum of the sum of $1.00 plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon since the date of issuance; and (b) to extent Issuer has not paid accrued dividends on a share prior to conversion thereof, accrued but unpaid dividends thereon shall be converted into shares of Issuer Common Stock upon the date of conversion at rate of one share of Issuer Common Stock for each $1.00 of accrued but unpaid dividends. No shares of Issuer Common Stock potentially issuable in accordance with the foregoing have been included in Column 3. As of the date hereof, there are $1,261,027 accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Participating Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Reporting Persons.
(5)	Cisco Systems Capital Corporation (Cisco Capital) directly beneficially owns the reported securities. Cisco Systems, Inc. (Cisco) is the sole shareholder of Cisco Capital and as such may be deemed to be an indirect beneficial owner of the reported securities. Except to the extent of any indirect pecuniary interest therein, Cisco disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by Cisco Capital.
  Remarks: Following the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering, the Reporting Persons expect that the securities reported herein will represent beneficial ownership of the Issuer of approximately 6.9%, as indicated in the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-124971).
