(1) Please note that the sum of the quarters may not total to the full
    year EPS because the quarterly EPS is calculated using the
    respective results and weighted average shares for each quarter,
    and the full year EPS is calculated using the results and weighted
    average shares for the full year.

(a) GAAP guidance includes the estimated impact of expensing stock
    option under FAS 123(R) "Share-Based Payment." The new accounting
    standard is expected to reduce diluted GAAP EPS by approximately
    $0.16-$0.17 for the full year ending December 31, 2006 and
    $0.04-$0.05 for each of the quarters in the year ending December
    31, 2006.

(b) Non-GAAP guidance reflects estimated quarterly adjustments to
    exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets of
    approximately $45-$55 million, payroll taxes on employee stock
    options of approximately $5-$10 million, stock-based compensation
    of approximately $85-$100 million, which includes the estimated
    impact of expensing stock options due to the adoption of FAS
    123(R) "Share-Based Payment," and other adjustments estimated to
    result in an operating margin adjustment of approximately 10% for
    each of the quarters in the year ending December 31, 2006. Net of
    tax, the above non-GAAP items are estimated to result in a
    $0.07-$0.08 per diluted share adjustment for each of the quarters
    in the year ending December 31, 2006.
