Explanation of Responses: (1) The options vest 25% on the first anniversary of
the date of grant and then 2% per month thereafter, on the monthly anniversary
of the date of grant, until fully vested. The options were granted subject to
stockholder approval, a material contingency outside the control of the
Reporting Person. The options were approved by the stockholders of the Issuer
at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held October 19, 2000, therefore the
contingency has been satisfied.
