Explanation of Responses:

1. Disposed of upon the completion of and pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger with, inter alia, Schering-Plough Corporation (the "Transactions") under which Schering-Plough Corporation (renamed as Merck & Co., Inc.) survives (the "Surviving Corporation") and becomes the sole shareholder of Merck & Co., Inc. (renamed Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.) ("Old Merck"). Such shares of Old Merck common stock are being exchanged pursuant to the Transactions for an equivalent amount of whole and fractional shares of Surviving Corporation common stock. On the effective date of the Transactions, the closing price of Old Merck common stock was $30.67 per share and the closing price of Schering-Plough Corporation common stock was $28.15 per share.

2. Shares of Old Merck common stock acquired under the 401(k) plan will be exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of Surviving Corporation common stock as part of the Transactions.

3. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Old Merck common stock and was (i) assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Transactions and (ii) converted into a restricted stock unit representing a contingent right to receive one share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock on the same vesting schedule as applied prior to the Transactions.

4. This option to purchase shares of Old Merck common stock, which vesting in three equal annual installments beginning one year from date of grant, was assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Transactions and continued on the same terms and conditions as an option to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock at the same exercise price as applied prior to the Transactions.

5. This option to purchase shares of Old Merck common stock, which vesting on the exercisable date, was assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Transactions and continued on the same terms and conditions as an option to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock at the same exercise price as applied prior to the Transactions.
