             Highland Capital is the record owner of and beneficially owns
             6,570,665 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock. Highland Capital
             has the power to vote or direct the disposition of all of the

             sole general partner of Highland Capital. Highland

<PAGE>

             Management, as the general partner of Highland Capital, may be
             deemed to own the Shares beneficially. The Investing General
             Partners have the power over all investment decisions of Highland
             Management and therefore may be deemed to share beneficial
             ownership of the Shares by virtue of their status as controlling
             persons of Highland Management. In addition, Highland
             Entrepreneurs' Fund III Limited Partnership ("HEF") is the record
             owner of and beneficially owns 273,777 shares (the "HEF Shares") of
             Common Stock. HEF has the power to vote or direct the disposition
             of all of the HEF Shares. Such power is exercised through HEF III,
             L.L.C. (the "LLC") as the sole general partner of HEF. The LLC, as
             the general partner of HEF, may be deemed to own the HEF Shares
             beneficially. The Investing General Partners have the power over
             all investment decisions of the LLC and therefore may be deemed to
             share beneficial ownership of the HEF Shares by virtue of their
             status as controlling persons of the LLC. Highland Management
             disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares and each of the
             Investing General Partners disclaims beneficial ownership of the
             Shares and the HEF Shares.

      (b)    Percent of Class:

             Each of Highland Capital and Highland Management may be deemed to
             own beneficially 19.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. Each of the
             Investing General Partners may be deemed to own beneficially 20.4%
             of the outstanding Common Stock. The foregoing percentages are
             based on the 33,572,562 shares of Common Stock reported to be
             outstanding as of September 30, 1999 in the Company's Quarterly
             Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
