Explanation of Responses:
(1) Pursuant to an internal reorganization effective as of January 1, 2000, (i)
Chase Venture Capital Associates, LLC ("CVCA, LLC") became the successor to
Chase Venture Capital Associates, LP ("CVCA, LP"), (ii) CCP-SBIC Manager, LLC, a
newly organized wholly-owned subsidiary of Chase Capital Partners ("CCP"),
became the managing member of CVCA, LLC, and (iii) CCP-CMC Consolidating, LLC
("Consolidating"), a newly-organized affiliate of CCP, became the non-managing
member of CVCA, LLC. CCP is the managing member of Consolidating, and pursuant
to a master advisory agreement with CCP-SBIC Manager, LLC and Consolidating, the
manager, by delegation, of CVCA, LLC. Prior to the internal reorganization, CCP
was the general partner, and the sole shareholder of Consolidating was the
limited partner, of CVCA, LP. The internal reorganization changed CVCA, LP's
name and form of organization but did not alter the proportionate interests of
its ultimate security holders.

CCP-SBIC Manager, LLC ("CCP-SBIC"), the sole managing member of CVCA, LLC and
(b) CCP-CMC Consolidating, LLC ("Consolidating"), the non-managing member of

advisory agreement with CCP-SBIC and Consolidating. The actual pro rata portion
of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed to be attributable to the

7) The amounts shown in Tables I and II represent the beneficial ownership of
the Issuer's equity securities by CVCA, LLC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the reporting person because he was a general partner of CCP,
the sole managing member of the two members of CVCA, LLC and the manager, by
delegation, of CVCA, LLC, until June 1, 1997. The actual pro rata portion of

attributable to the reporting person because he was a general partner of CCP,

person is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables,
including the internal rate of return and vesting within CCP and CVCA, LLC. The

delegation, of CVCA, LLC, until July 1, 1999. The actual pro rata portion of
such beneficial ownership that may be deemed to be attributable to the reporting
person is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables,
including the internal rate of return and vesting within CCP and CVCA, LLC.

to be a "10% holder", such reporting person has no pecuniary interest in such
securities.
