Explanation of Responses:

(1)  Director's fee quarterly grant; issued to Chase Venture Capital Associates,
     LLC ("CVCA, LLC").  The reporting person, a general partner of the
     investment manager of CVCA, LLC, is obligated to transfer all shares
     awarded as director's compensation to CVCA, LLC.

(2)  The amounts shown in Tables I and II represent the beneficial ownership
     of the Issuer's equity securities by CVCA, LLC, a portion of which may be
     attributable to the reporting person because the reporting person is
     a general partner of Chase Capital Partners ("CCP"), the manager, by
     delegation, of CVCA, LLC. The actual pro rata portion of such
     beneficial ownership that may be deemed to be attributable to the
     reporting person is not readily determinable because it is subject to
     several variables, including CVCA, LLC's and CCP's and internal rate of
     return and vesting.  The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership
     to the extent it exceeds his pecuniary interest.

(3)  Dividends on Convertible Preferred Stock were payable in kind through
     October 21, 1999.

(4)  Stock option grant for non-employee directors issued pursuant to the 1996
     Patina Non-Employee Stock Option Plan.  Exercisable as follows:  30% on
     first anniversary date of transaction, 30% on second anniversary date of
     transaction, and 40% on third anniversary.  The reporting person, a general
     partner of CCP, is obligated to exercise each of  the options upon the
     request of CVCA, LLC and to transfer all shares received upon such
     exercise and any shares awarded as director's compensation to CVCA, LLC.
