Explanation of Responses:
1 Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 14, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), among National Data
Corporation ("NDC"), Universal Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NDC, and Physician Support Systems, Inc. ("PSS"), NDC
entered into a Stockholder Voting Agreement with certain PSS directors, executive officers and employees (the "Stockholders") who
are, collectively, the beneficial owners of 2,869,581 shares of the Common Stock of PSS, or approximately 29.5% of the outstanding
Common Stock of PSS, pursuant to which such Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement at every
meeting of the stockholders of PSS at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment thereof and against a "Competing
Transaction" (as such term is defined in the Stockholder Voting Agreement). NDC does not have a pecuniary interest in such shares
and, therefore, disclaims any beneficial ownership thereof.
