DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    DIRECTORS' FEES. Each director who is not an employee of the Company is
entitled to receive $200 for each Board meeting and committee meeting
attended. The Company also reimburses each director for out-of-pocket
expenses when attending Board meetings or otherwise engaging in Company
business.

    AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT. Pursuant to the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999
Plan"), each non-employee director serving on the Board receives an automatic
grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock on January 1 each
year the 1999 Plan is in effect. If a non-employee director is elected or
appointed to serve as a director following such January 1 date, such
non-employee director receives an automatic grant of an option to purchase
(i) 2,500 shares of Common Stock if such non-employee director is elected or
appointed after June 30 in any year in which the 1999 Plan is in effect, or
(ii) 5,000 shares of Common Stock if such non-employee director is elected or
appointed prior to July 1 in any year in which the 1999 Plan is in effect.

    The exercise price per share for such options is equal to the fair market
value of one share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Options
automatically granted to non-employee directors under the 1999 Plan become
exercisable six months following the date of grant and expire five years from
the date of grant. In the event a non-employee director's service as a
director of the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability (as
defined in the 1999 Plan) all such outstanding options then held by the
non-employee director will become immediately exercisable in full and will
remain exercisable for a period of one year thereafter (but in no event after
the expiration of any such option). In the event that a non-employee
director's service as a director of the Company is terminated for any other
reason, all such options then held by the non-employee director will remain
exercisable for a period of three months thereafter to the extent exercisable
as of the date of termination (but in no event after the expiration of any
such option).

holder of Series A Preferred Stock did not have voting rights or rights to
convert the shares into shares of Common Stock. If the shares of Series A-2
Preferred Stock were not granted both conversion rights and voting rights by
March 31, 2002, the holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock would, at its option
redeem for cash any portion after September 30, 2002. On April 14, 2000 a
majority of the Company's Common and Preferred Shareholders elected to grant
conversion and voting rights to the holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and,
accordingly, redemption rights have been eliminated for these shares.

    On December 14, 1999 the Company issued a warrant to purchase 25,000
shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock to Century Capital Partners,
L.P. for $25 per share.

    Richard J. Freeman, a director of the company, is a Vice President of
Century Capital Partners, L.P. and has investment power with respect to the
shares held by Century Capital Partners, L.P.
