Discovery
Group is the investment manager of Discovery Equity Partners.   Discovery Group exercises ultimate voting and
dispositive power of the securities held by Discovery Equity Partners. As a consequence, Discovery Group may be deemed
to share beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Discovery Equity Partners. Voting and disposition
decisions at Discovery Group with respect to the investment of such securities are made by a five-person investment committee
(the “Committee”) which makes such investment decisions by majority vote. No member of the Committee
may act individually to vote or sell shares of Common Stock held by Discovery Equity Partners, nor does any such member
have a veto right concerning the vote or sale of any such common stock. Accordingly, no individual member of the Committee
is deemed to beneficially own, and each individual member of the Committee expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of,
within the meaning of Rule 13d-3, any shares of Common Stock held by Discovery Equity Partners solely by virtue of the
fact that he or she is a member of the Committee.

 

The
transactions in Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set out in Exhibit 1
hereto.

 

No
person other than Discovery Equity Partners is known to any Reporting Person
to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any
of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.

   
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of
the Issuer
   
 

Item
6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

There
are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between or among any of the Reporting
Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company other than the governing documents of Discovery
Group and Discovery Equity Partners, the margin loan facilities referred to under Item 3 above, the Joint Filing Agreement
of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Schedule 13D that was included as an exhibit thereto, the Joint Filing Agreement
