A)        The 15,595 options expiring January 22, 2000 represent a reprice
          of options originally granted on October 26, 1996 exercisable at
          $26.74 in connection with Mr. Mackey's original employment with
          the Company. The repricing occured on April 30, 1998 when all
          employees were permited to elect to reprice their most recent
          grant only to the then market price with all other terms remaining
          the same; the repriced options are not exercisable until the
          market price of the Company's common stock equals $30.00.

B)        In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, these
          columns show gains that might exist for the respective options,
          assuming that the market price of the Company's common stock
          appreciates from the date of the grant over the term of the option
          at rates of 5% and 10%, respectively.
