Explanation of Responses:
* Reporting Person's Form 4 filed for the period 12/24/97 reported that he sold
117,000 shares at $28.6875. This
report inadvertently omitted that the total number of shares sold was 117,517,
of which 57,615 shares sold should
have been attributed to Reporting Person and 59,902 shares should have been
attributed to his spouse. Reporting
Person's Form 3 filed for the period 11/18/97 inadvertently involved a double
counting of certain shares of the
issuer's common stock amounting to an overstatement of the Reporting Person's
direct holdings of 186 shares.
Reporting Person's end of period holdings include 765 shares acquired through
the Issuer's employee stock purchase
plan since the issuer's fiscal year ended
9/30/97.
**These securities become exercisable as follows: 30% upon the first
anniversary date of the grant; 60% upon the
second anniversary date of the grant; and 100% upon the thrid anniversary of
the grant.
