Explanation of Responses:

1. On February 3, 2014, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Thermo Fisher"), acquired the issuer pursuant to that certain merger agreement between issuer, Thermo Fisher and Polpis Merger Sub Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Fisher ("Merger Sub"), dated as of April 14, 2013 (the "Merger Agreement"). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the issuer (the "Merger"), with the issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Fisher. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the issuer's common stock was converted into the right to receive $76.1311786 in cash (the "per-share merger consideration"). In addition, all outstanding options, performance restricted stock units and service-based restricted stock units were canceled at the effective time of the Merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the per-share merger consideration (less the exercise price in the case of options), payable without interest and less any required withholding taxes (other than certain service-based restricted stock units that were assumed by Thermo Fisher at the effective time of the Merger and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the per-share merger consideration, which will vest and become payable following the effective time of the Merger in accordance with their original terms). The Merger is more fully described in the issuer's Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on July 22, 2013.

2. These shares under the Deferred Compensation Plan were canceled at the effective time of the Merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the per-share merger consideration.
