(1)	Pursuant to the Endo Pharmaceuticals Directors Stock Election Plan, on December 6, 2008, Mr. Kimmel elected to receive 100% of his 2009 cash retainer fees in Endo common stock. At the time that the retainer fees would otherwise have been payable, the number of shares of Endo common stock are fixed and are reported as of such date on Table I as an acquisition of securities. These cash retainer fees are payable to Mr. Kimmel in consideration of his services on the Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. Board of Directors, and the amount reported on this Form represents Mr. Kimmel's fourth quarter 2009 retainer fees. Under the Endo Pharmaceuticals Deferred Compensation Plan, also on December 6, 2008, Mr. Kimmel elected to defer receipt of all of these shares.
(2)	This number represents (i) 165,000 shares of common stock held in trusts for which Mr. Kimmel serves as trustee and as to which shares Mr. Kimmel holds either the sole or the shared power of disposition and power to vote, (ii) 2,262 shares of restricted stock, (iii) 6,759 restricted stock units and (iv) 14,998 shares of common stock, receipt of which has been deferred under the Endo Pharmaceuticals Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Mr. Kimmel's beneficial ownership disclosed in this table excludes all shares held by Mr. Kimmel indirectly, including shares underlying stock options as well as a total of 7,500 shares of common stock held in trusts for the benefit of Mr. Kimmel's adult children, as to which shares Mr. Kimmel has neither the power of disposition nor the power to vote.
