(1) Disposed of pursuant to the merger of the Issuer with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, a Delaware corporation (the "Merger"), at the merger consideration of $2.92 per share (the "Merger Consideration"). Includes 112,799 shares deemed acquired pursuant to the grant of restricted stock units ("RSU s") on various dates. The vesting of the RSU's was accelerated in connection with the Merger.
(2) Each performance right represented a contingent right to receive a share of Issuer common stock based on the Issuer's stock price performance. In connection with the Merger, the vesting (thus, the settlement) of the performance right was accelerated.
(3) This option, which had become fully vested and exercisable, was cancelled at the closing of the Merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the product of (a) the number of shares underlying this option and (b) the difference between the Merger Consideration and the exercise price per share of this option.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
