Explanation of Responses:
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock underlying options granted prior to
July 25, 1996, as well as the exercise price thereof, have been adjusted to
give effect to a 3-for-1 stock split effected by the Issuer on July 25,
1996.
(b) Granted under the Issuer's Incentive Stock Plan, as amended, which is a
Rule 16b-3 plan. The right to exercise the option is vested over a
three-year period from the date of grant, with one-third of the shares
subject to a grant to become vested (and consequently exercisable) on each
of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. For purposes of
clarification, the date of grant of an option is inserted in the Table II
column relating to the date on which the option is exercisable.
(c) Granted under the Issuer's Nonemployee Directors' Stock Option Plan, which
is a Rule 16b-3 plan. Options granted under such plan are exercisable
immediately upon grant.
