Explanation of Responses:
1. The filing of this Form 3 shall not be construed as an admission that TCS Capital GP, LLC ("TCS") or Eric Semler, the managing member of TCS is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise the beneficial owner of any of the shares of common stock of First Avenue Networks, Inc. ("Common Stock") owned by TCS Capital, L.P., TCS Capital II, L.P., TCS Capital Investments, L.P. and TCS Select, L.P. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, both TCS and Mr. Semler disclaim such beneficial ownership.
2. TCS holds indirecly Common Stock for the accounts of TCS Capital, L.P., TCS Capital II, L.P. and TCS Capital Investments, L.P., of which TCS is the general partner. TCS receives an allocation of a portion of net profits from and owns a partnership interest in TCS Capital, L.P., TCS Capital II, L.P. and TCS Capital Investments, L.P. Common Stock is also held for the account of TCS Select, L.P., of which TCS Select GP, LLC serves as the general partner. Mr. Semler reports the shares held indirectly by TCS and TCS Select GP, LLC because, as the manager of TCS and TCS Select GP, LLC, at the time of purchase, Mr. Semler controlled the disposition and voting of the securities.
