Explanation of Responses:


     (1)  Conversion  price is 80% of the average of the lowest  closing  market
          prices  (meaning  the last  highest bid prices) for any 5 trading days
          beginning  on March  16,  2001 and  ending  on  Maturity  of the Note;
          provided, that such conversion price shall not be less than $1.00. The
          number of underlying  shares  issuable on conversion  shall not exceed
          19.9% of the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  then  issued  and
          outstanding,  without obtaining  stockholder approval of such issuance
          (as of 2/13/01, 12,849,890 shares outstanding).

     (2)  Immediately convertible at the election of the holder.
