Acquisition-related contingencies: During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we increased the liability for
contingent consideration related to our 2010 acquisition of technology used in our SmartDose™ electronic patch injector system by $0.2
million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we also reduced the liability for contingent
consideration related to our July 2009 eris™ safety syringe system acquisition by $0.8 million, bringing the liability balance to zero. This
reduction reflects our assessment that none of the contractual operating targets will be achieved over the earnout period, which ends in
2014.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we reduced the liability for contingent consideration related to our July 2009 eris™
acquisition by $1.8 million to reflect our revised assessment of fair value, as affected by a reduction in the probability of attaining certain
milestones over the next four years.
Special separation benefits: During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred special separation benefits of
$0.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, related to the retirement of our former President and Chief Operating Officer. These costs
consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense and a settlement loss related to one of our non-qualified defined benefit
pension plans. The respective equity compensation arrangements were amended to allow certain of his awards to continue to vest over
the original vesting period instead of being forfeited upon separation, resulting in a revaluation of the awards and acceleration of
expense.
Discrete tax items: During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized discrete tax charges of $0.6 million
and $1.4 million, respectively, the majority of which resulted from changes in certain international tax rates that affected our deferred tax
carrying values and the finalization of prior year tax returns.
During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1.1 million in net discrete tax benefits, the majority of
which resulted from the reversal of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.
•Reconciliation of 2012 Adjusted Guidance to 2012 Reported Guidance is as follows:

exchange rates.
