Explanation of Responses:
1. Because the SEC's electronic filing system does not allow for the disclosure of more than 30 transactions on one Form 4, the Reporting Person is filing 3 simultaneous Forms 4 to report its reportable transactions, all of which together shall be deemed a single report filed on this date. This is the first Form 4 of the 3 filings.
Remarks:
This Form 4 is being filed by Durus Life Sciences Master Fund Ltd. (the "Master Fund") to report transactions that have previously been reported on Forms 4 filed August 22, 2003 by Durus Capital Management, LLC, the Master Fund's portfolio manager, and Scott Sacane, the managing member thereof. No new transactions are reported herein. The information on this form has been provided by International Funds Services (Ireland) Limited, the Master Fund's administrator. Pursuant to Instruction 5(a) of Form 4, the prices herein do not include commissions and other costs of execution.
