Explanation of Responses:

1. In connection with the merger of a subsidiary of Medtronic, Inc. into Issuer on August 12, 2010 (the "Merger") pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated April 28, 2010, all shares of Issuer common stock were converted into the right to receive $4 per share in cash.

2. These securities are held of record by Alta Partners VIII, L.P. ("APVIII"). The reporting person is a managing director of the general partner of APVIII. As a managing director, he may be deemed to share voting and investment power over the securities held by APVIII. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities, except to the extent of his proportionate pecuniary interest therein.

3. The restricted stock unit is convertible into common stock of the Issuer on a 1-for-1 basis.

4. This restricted stock unit, the vesting of which was accelerated in connection with the Merger, was cancelled in the merger in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of stock represented by the restricted stock unit, multiplied by (ii) $4 per share, less applicable withholding taxes.

5. Vests as to 100% the earlier of this date, or the date of the second annual meeting following the date of grant.

6. Previously reported as directly held.
