Explanation of Responses:
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of November 13, 1997 by and among Xpedite Systems,
Inc. ("Xpedite"), Premiere Technologies, Inc. ("Premiere") and Nets Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premiere,
Premiere entered into certain Stockholder Agreements, dated November 13, 1997 with certain Xpedite stockholders (the "Stockholders")
who collectively are the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Xpedite, pursuant to which the
Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement at every meeting of the stockholders of Xpedite at
which such matters are considered and at every adjournment thereof. Premiere does not have a pecuniary interest in such shares and,
therefore, disclaims any beneficial ownership thereof.
