                    and 245,830 Shares, respectively, or 0%, 9.9%, 1.4% and
                    0.6%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Shares.
                    The general partner of GAP II is LLC. The managing members
                    of LLC are Steven A. Denning, David C. Hodgson, Stephen P.
                    Reynolds, J. Michael Cline, William O. Grabe and William E.
                    Ford (collectively, the "GAP Managing Members"). Braddock is
                    a director of E*Trade Group, Inc., and is a consultant to
                    LLC. The GAP Managing Members are the general partners of
                    GAPCO. By virtue of the fact that the GAP Managing Members
                    are also the general partners authorized and empowered to
                    vote and dispose of the securities held by GAPCO; LLC, GAP
                    II and GAPCO may be deemed to share voting power and the

                    them owns of record. Although Braddock is a consultant to
                    LLC, the other Reporting Persons do not possess any voting
                    or dispositive power over the Shares Braddock owns of
                    record. Braddock does not possess any voting or dispositive
                    power over the Shares the other Reporting Persons own of
                    record. However, there is an oral agreement between Braddock
                    and the other Reporting Persons that Braddock will dispose
                    of his Shares proportionately with the other Reporting
                    Persons. As of December 31, 1997, each of LLC, GAP II and
                    GAPCO may be deemed to own beneficially an aggregate of
                    4,374,930 Shares or 11.3% of the issued and outstanding
                    Shares, and Braddock may be deemed to own beneficially an
                    aggregate of 245,830 Shares or 0.6% of the issued and
                    outstanding Shares. Each of LLC, GAP II and GAPCO has the
                    shared power to direct the vote and the shared power to
                    direct the disposition of the 4,374,930 Shares that may be
                    deemed to be owned beneficially by each of them, and
                    Braddock has the sole power to direct the vote and the sole
                    power to direct the disposition of the 245,830 Shares that
                    are owned beneficially by him.
