(1)     On March 1, 2000, the Registrant completed the acquisition of SnapTrack,
        Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SnapTrack"). In connection with the
        acquisition, the Registrant assumed the obligations under SnapTrack's
        1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") and is obligated to issue up to
        1,548,248 shares of common stock of the Registrant pursuant to the
        exercise of stock options that were outstanding under the 1995 Plan on
        the date the acquisition of SnapTrack was consummated. The Registrant
        does not anticipate issuing any additional stock options under the 1995
        Plan. In addition, the Registrant assumed options issued outside of the
        1995 Plan to purchase up to 7,077 shares of Registrant's common stock.

        aggregate offering price are calculated on the basis of the actual
