Explanation of Responses:
(1) The Reporting Person notes that the open-market purchase effected on December 23, 1999 was only available to the extent that the
purchaser acquired a total of 75,000 shares. Accordingly, in addition to the transaction noted above, the Reporting Person
received an additional 37,500 shares as an accommodation to, and for the exclusive benefit of, a third party. These shares were
delivered to the third party purchaser immediately after receipt at the same aggregate purchase price as paid by the Reporting
Person. Based on these facts, the Reporting Person disclaims that he "acquired" or "sold" the 37,500 additional shares, as
such terms are used by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
