EXPLANATION OF RESPONSES:
(A) On December 1, 2000, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
("Merger Agreement"), dated as of September 26, 2000, by and among Landry's
Seafood Restaurants, Inc., LSR Acquisition Corp. ("LSR") and Rainforest
Cafe, Inc. ("Rainforest"), LSR was merged with and into Rainforest with
Rainforest continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, (i) all issued and outstanding shares of
Rainforest common stock (other than (1) shares of Rainforest common stock
owned by LSR or Landry's and (2) shares of Rainforest common stock the
holders of which have perfected appraisal rights under Minnesota law) were
automatically converted into the right to receive $3.25 per share in cash
and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of LSR common stock was
converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of
Rainforest common stock. Landry's, the holder of all one thousand issued
and outstanding shares of LSR common stock prior to the effective time of
the merger, thus became the owner of one thousand shares of Rainforest
common stock as of the effective time of the merger, representing 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Rainforest common stock.
