Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  This option to purchase shares of the Issuer's common stock, which provided for vesting in various annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, became 100% vested and exercisable due to a change in control of the Issuer effected through the completion of a tender offer by Kite Merger Sub, Inc. ("Kite"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, effective as of July 2, 2009. As a result of the completion of the tender offer, this stock option was cancelled and the reporting person is entitled to a cash payment from the Issuer in the gross amount of $881,550.00, less applicable withholding, representing the difference between $43.00 (tender offer price) and the option exercise price for each share subject to this stock option.
