Explanation of Responses:
1. Bain Capital Investors, LLC ("BCI") is the sole general partner of Bain Capital (Europe) L.P. ("BCE"). As a result, BCI may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock and the shares 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock held directly by BCE. BCI expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock or 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock in which it does not have a pecuniary interest.
2. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the sum of the Liquidation Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through June 15, 2007 by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect. "Liquidation Value" and "Conversion Price" have the meanings set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Powers, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions Thereof (the "Certificate of Designation").
3. (3) Shares of 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock from the date of issuance, July 31, 2003, and any time thereafter.
