Executive Officers

     The executive officers of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and the date
of the filing of this Form 10-K/A are as set forth in Part I of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") on March 20, 2000.
- -----

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors,
executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common
Stock (collectively, "Reporting Persons") to file with the SEC initial reports
                      -----------------
of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company's Common Stock.  Reporting
Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) reports they file.  To the Company's knowledge, based solely
on its review of the copies of such reports received or written representations
from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required, the Company
believes that during its fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 all Reporting
Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements with the exception of
the following: (a) Seth D. Neiman inadvertently failed to include his purchase
of shares of common stock in the Company's initial public offering on any Form
4s filed with the SEC until a filing on April 10, 2000; and (b) a Form 4 filed
with the SEC on September 27, 1999 mistakenly reported that Timothy D. Heffner
held options for the purchase of 84,000 shares of common stock. The correct
number of 45,000 shares was subsequently reported on a Form 5 filed with the SEC
on February 25, 2000.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation of Directors
<PAGE>

     Directors currently receive no cash fees for services provided in that
capacity.  During the last fiscal year, the Company granted director Andrew K.
Ludwick an option for the purchase of 480,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $2.67 in connection with his appointment as a member of the
Board of Directors.  The Company granted no options to directors Bobby R.
Johnson, Jr. and Seth D. Neiman during the last fiscal year.

     Upon the closing of its initial public offering in October 1999, the
Company adopted its 1999 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan")
                                                            ---------------
which provides that each person who becomes a nonemployee director of the
Company will be granted a nonstatutory stock option to purchase 225,000 shares
of common stock on the date on which the optionee first becomes a nonemployee
director of the Company.  Thereafter, on the date of each annual meeting of the
Company's stockholders at which such director is elected, each such nonemployee
director shall be granted an additional option to purchase 60,000 shares of
common stock if, on such date, he or she shall have served on the Company's
Board of Directors for at least six months.  Both Seth D. Neiman and Andrew K.
Ludwick will have served for more than six months at the time of the Company's
upcoming 2000 Annual Meeting, and so will receive options to purchase 60,000
shares of the Company's common stock under the Directors' Plan if they are
reelected to the Board of Directors at the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting.

Compensation of Executive Officers

     The following table shows the compensation earned by (a) the individual who
served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999, (b) the four other most highly compensated individuals who
served as an executive officer of the Company during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999; and (c) the compensation received by each such individual
during fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The amounts in the column entitled
"Other Annual Compensation" represent commissions paid, based on total sales, to
Messrs. Shackleton and Kallaos and partial forgiveness by Foundry of loans and
interest outstanding under loans made to Mr. McGill in connection with the
exercise of options.  The amounts in the column titled "All Other Compensation"
consist of life insurance premiums paid by Foundry.

Option Grants in the Last Fiscal Year

     The following table provides certain information with respect to stock
options granted to the Named Executive Officers in the last fiscal year.  In
addition, as required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the table
sets forth the hypothetical gains that would exist for the options based on
assumed rates of annual compound stock price appreciation during the option
term.
<PAGE>

     These stock options were granted outside of the Company's 1996 Stock Plan.
They were immediately exercisable when granted, subject to the Company's right
to repurchase at cost any shares that remain unvested at the time of the
officer's cessation of employment.  The shares vest at a rate of 1/48th per
month so long as the officer continues to provide services to the Company and
provide for partial acceleration upon a change of control.  See section below
entitled "Compensation of Executive Officers -- Change of Control Agreements
with Named Executive Officers" for description of change of control provision.

     The percentages below are based on the aggregate of 12,041,000 shares
subject to options granted by us in 1999.  The exercise price per share of each
option was equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of
grant as determined by our Board of Directors.

     The potential realizable value assumes that the fair market value of our
common stock on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated annual rate
compounded annually for the entire 10-year term of the option and that the
option is exercised and sold on the last day of its term for the appreciated
stock price. The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of compounded stock price
appreciation are mandated by the rules of the SEC, and do not represent our
prediction of stock performance.  Actual gains, if any, on stock option
exercises will depend on the future performance of our common stock.  The gains
shown are net of the option exercise price, but do not include deductions for
taxes and other expenses payable upon the exercise of the option or for sale of
underlying shares of common stock.

(1)  No stock appreciation rights (SARs) were outstanding during fiscal 1999.
     All unexercised options were exercisable as of December 31, 1999, subject
     to the Company's right to repurchase any unvested shares upon cessation of
     the officer's employment.

(2)  Based on the $150.84 per share closing price of the Company's common stock
     on The Nasdaq Stock Market on December 31, 1999, less the exercise price of
     the options.

(3)  The value realized represents the difference between $12.50, the initial
     public offering price, and the exercise price of the option, and does not
     necessarily indicate that the optionee sold such stock.

Change in Control Arrangements With Named Executive Officers

     On June 6, 1996, the Company sold Bobby R. Johnson, Jr. 23,550,000 shares
of common stock at a purchase price of $0.0033 per share.  Under the agreement,
the Company holds the right to purchase any shares that remain unvested upon
either a voluntary termination of employment by Mr. Johnson or a termination by
us for cause.  If Mr. Johnson is constructively terminated or terminated other
than for cause, then the Company will not have this repurchase right.  In
addition, all shares not previously released from the Company's repurchase
option will be immediately released upon a sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or the merger of the Company with or into another
corporation where the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such sale
or merger do not own a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
acquiring or surviving company.

     The Company has entered into stock option agreements with Robert W.
Shackleton, William S. Kallaos, Ken K. Cheng and Wilburn W. McGill which provide
for partial acceleration of vesting of their options upon a "Change in Control"
transaction, defined as a merger or other transaction in which more than fifty
percent of the voting control of the Company is transferred or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The following table summarizes
the terms of these Stock Option Agreements:

ITEM 13:  TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT

     On June 25, 1997, the Company provided a loan to Drusilla Demopolous, our
former Vice President of Marketing, in connection with her exercise of an option
for the purchase of common stock, pursuant to a note secured by a stock pledge
agreement in the principal amount of $54,000 with an interest rate of 6.68%, due
upon the earlier of June 25, 2002 or twelve months after the closing of
Foundry's initial public offering.  On April 29, 1998, the Company provided a
second loan to Ms. Demopolous in connection with her exercise of a second option
for the purchase of common stock pursuant to a note secured by a stock pledge
agreement in the principal amount of $9,600 with an interest rate of 5.58% due
upon the earlier of April 28, 2003 or twelve months after the closing of
Foundry's initial public offering.  In December 1999, Ms. Demopolous repaid
both these loans in full.

     On October 6, 1998, the Company provided a loan to Ken K. Cheng in
connection with his exercise of an option for the purchase of common stock,
pursuant to a note secured by a stock pledge agreement in the principal amount
of $207,458 with an interest rate of 5.03% due upon the earlier of October 5,
2003 or twelve months after the closing of Foundry's initial public offering.

     On June 28, 1999, Andrew K. Ludwick, one of the Company's directors,
exercised a fully vested option to purchase 480,000 shares of our common stock
at an exercise price of $2.67 per share granted him in connection with his
appointment as a member of our board of directors. Additionally, on June 9,
1999, we sold 375,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock at a purchase price
of $2.67 per share to a family trust of which Mr. Ludwick is a trustee.

     We believe that the transactions identified in this section were on terms
no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.
