Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On September 14, 2005 (the "Trade Date"), TA IX L.P. entered into a Forward Sale Transaction (the "Transaction") with an unrelated third party (the "Buyer") relating to 12,019,137 shares of Common Stock. The maturity date of the Transaction is September 14, 2007, subject to acceleration in certain events. TA IX L.P. will receive a payment from the Buyer in the amount of $20.28 per share (after provision for financing costs which are subject to adjustment) within three business days of the Trade Date.
(2)	The reporting person may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest as the General Partner of TA IX L.P. The reporting person disclaims benefical ownership of such shares because the reporting person's indirect pecuniary interest is subject to indeterminable future events.
