Explanation of Responses:

1. In September 1999, Mr. Snyder acquired 3,126,541 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Ventiv Health, Inc. ("Ventiv") in connection with Snyder Communications, Inc.'s ("Snyder Communications") spin-off of Ventiv, which previously operated as the healthcare services business of Snyder Communications. Except for the transactions described in this Form 4, all of which occurred in 2000, Mr. Snyder has not effected any transactions in the Common Stock. On May 25, 2000, Mr. Snyder contributed 631,580 shares of Common Stock to a private investment company (the "Private Fund") in exchange for 59,045.96 units of limited partner interest in the Private Fund (the "Private Fund Units"). (continued in Footnote #2)

2. (continued from Footnote #1) The shares of Common Stock were valued at $9.50 per share. The Private Fund invests in a diversified private investment company (the "Master Fund") by contributing to the Master Fund the shares of Common Stock contributed by Mr. Snyder to the Private Fund. On or before May 25, 2003, Mr. Snyder had the right to redeem the Private Fund Units under limited circumstances. Between May 25, 2003 and May 25, 2007, Mr. Snyder has the right to redeem the Private Fund Units at any time in an amount equal to the lesser of the Private Fund Units' net asset value on the date of redemption and the value on the date of redemption of the Common Stock he contributed to the Private Fund. The Private Fund may meet these redemption requests by distributing cash or Common Stock, at the Private Fund's election. (continued in Footnote #3)

3. (continued from Footnote #2) After May 25, 2007, Mr. Snyder has the right to redeem the Private Fund Units for their net asset value on the date of redemption. The Private Fund may meet these redemption requests by distributing cash, Common Stock or other contributed securities, at the Private Fund's election, except that Mr. Snyder may elect that the portion, if any, of the redemption price satisfied by securities be comprised of securities of at least ten different issuers selected by the Private Fund's investment manager. In addition, as of May 25, 2002, Mr. Snyder may request to make annual redemptions of up to 5% of the value of his investment at the time of any such redemption. The consideration for any such redemption will consist only of shares of Common Stock contributed by Mr. Snyder to the Private Fund.

4. On July 18, 2000, Mr. Snyder donated an aggregate of 366,127 shares of Common Stock to a charity and an educational institution.
