        <footnote id="F1">Includes 2,500 shares of SPSS common stock granted on April 19, 2005 in the form of restricted stock units that will vest over time. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of SPSS common stock on the date that the restricted stock unit vests. 1,250 of these restricted stock units will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1,250 of these restricted stock units will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date.  None of these shares were vested as of April 28, 2005.  These shares were omitted from the reporting person's original Form 3.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These options are subject to a four-year vesting schedule, under which 25% of the total option will become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional 2.09% of the number of shares originally covered by the option will become exercisable on the first day following the conclusion of each month in the second, third and fourth years following the Grant Date (other than the final month of the fourth year following the Grant Date); and an additional 1.85% of the number of shares originally covered by the option will become exercisable on the first day following the conclusion of the final month of the fourth year following the Grant Date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This information with regard to this option grant is being amended to correct the vesting schedule and &quot;Date Exercisable.&quot;</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">These options are subject to the following vesting schedule:  (i) 35.45% of the total option became exercisable on the Grant Date and (ii) an additional 2.09% of the number of shares originally covered by the option will become exercisable on the first day following the conclusion of each month thereafter in the first, second and third years following the Grant Date, until fully vested.</footnote>
