        <footnote id="F1">Dr. Harrison was a manager of CLS I-IV, LLC until the fund was liquidated effective January 1, 2006.  At this time, the issuer shares were transferred to Charter Ventures IV, L.P., an entity in which Dr. Harrison had no general partnership interest or managerial position.  Thus, at this date, Dr. Harrison's beneficial ownership of these shares ceased.  In addition, as of January 1, 2006, Dr. Harrison has no general partnership interest or managerial position in Charter Entrepreneurs Fund IV, L.P. or Charter Advisors Fund IV, L.P. (Dr. Harrison is a limited partner in Charter Entrepreneurs Fund IV, L.P.).  Thus, Dr. Harrison does not have beneficial ownership of the shares held by either of these entities.</footnote>
