Explanation of Responses:

1.   Options have 10 year terms from date of grant of 4/23/98, 0% exercisable on
     date of grant,  33%  exercisable on first  anniversary,  66% exercisable on
     second anniversary, 100% exercisable upon third anniversary.

2.   Warrants vest as follows:

     (i)  the first 50,000 warrants vest upon an increase in the p/e multiple of
          5.0 or more over the base multiple of 15.119;

     (ii) an  additional  50,000  warrants  vest  upon  an  increase  in the p/e
          multiple of 10.0 or more over the base multiple of 15.119; and

    (iii) the final 50,000 warrants vest upon an increase in the p/e multiple of
          15.0 or more over the base multiple of 15.119.

     Such vesting will be  effective as of January 2 of the year  following  the
     year to which such multiple increase relates.

3.   The  exercise  price  equals the closing  price of the common  stock on the
     vesting date as described in Note 2 above.

4.   Cancellation  of  option/warrant  in  connetion  with grant of  replacement
     option/warrant.

5.   The   reported   transaction   involved   the   repricing  of  an  existing
     option/warrant. The vesting terms were not amended.

6.   Vesting of this replacement  option/warrant is tied to the date of grant of
     the  original  option/warrant  (4/23/98)  as follows:  33%  exercisable  on
     4/23/99, 66% exercisable on 4/23/00 and 100% exercisable on 4/23/01.

7.   The exercise price will be $11.9375 if the Company is acquired prior to the
     exercise or expiration of the option or warrant.
