Explanation of Responses:
(1) The number of shares into which the promissory note may be converted is equal to the amount due under the
Promissory Note divided by a conversion price determined by taking 90% of the exercise or conversion price (or
exchange factor) applicable to any security received in any interim financing subsequent to the date of the
Promissory Note ("Interim Financing") which is exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer (or securities which are exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for Issuer's
Common Stock).  If there is no Interim Financing on or before the maturity date (June 21, 2001), then the reporting
person may choose to convert the amount due from the Issuer into shares at 90% of the closing price of the Issuer's
Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
(2)  Additional consideration for convertible promisorry note.
