In addition to the shares owned by SB Capital Partners, a Delaware
limited partnership, SOFTBANK Capital Advisors Fund L.P. ("Advisors Fund"), a
Delaware limited partnership, also owns 52,561 shares of Class A Common Stock of
the Issuer. Each of SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund is an investment fund
managed by its sole general partner, SB CP LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company. Accordingly, securities owned by SB Capital Partners or Advisors Fund
may be regarded as being beneficially owned by SB CP LLC. Pursuant to the
Limited Liability Company Agreement of SB CP LLC, investment decisions by SB CP
LLC must be approved by SB CPI, a Delaware corporation, its investment member,
among others. As a result, SB CPI shares voting power and investment power over
securities beneficially owned by SB CP LLC and therefore may be regarded as a
beneficial owner of such securities. SB CPI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBH,
a Delaware corporation. Accordingly, securities beneficially owned by SB CPI may
be deemed beneficially owned by SBH. SBH is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of
SOFTBANK, a Japanese corporation. Accordingly, securities beneficially owned by
SBH may be deemed beneficially owned by SOFTBANK. Mr. Son is the President and
Chief Executive Officer of SOFTBANK and owns an approximately 50% interest in
SOFTBANK. Accordingly, securities beneficially owned by SOFTBANK may be deemed
beneficially owned by Mr. Son.
