| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, immediately upon the effectiveness thereof, each share of Preferred Stock was automatically reclassified into a share of Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to a reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7. |
| 2. The securities are directly held by General Catalyst Group VI, L.P. ("GCGVI") and may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the other reporting persons. General Catalyst GP VI, LLC ("GCGPVI"), is the general partner of General Catalyst Partners VI, L.P., which is the general partner of GCGVI. GCGPVI is controlled by a group of three or more individuals, or the Managing Directors, having shared voting and dispositive control over the shares held by GCGVI, and the voting and dispositive decisions are made by a majority of GCGPVI Managing Directors, and therefore, no one of the Managing Directors is deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares held by GCGVI. |
| 3. Each of the reporting persons and entities disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities (except to the extent of such person's or entity's pecuniary interest in such securities). The filing of this statement by the reporting persons shall not be deemed an admission that such persons are, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any equity securities covered by this statement. |
| 4. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis and has no expiration date. |
