Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2008, among Longs Drug Stores Corporation, CVS Caremark Corporation and Blue Mergersub Corp. (the "Merger Agreement"), each outstanding right to earn a restricted share under Longs' 2008/2009 performance-based restricted stock grant program ('Performance Share") was deemed to be earned at maximum.
( 2)	In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding right to earn a restricted share under Longs' 2009/2010 performance-based restricted stock grant program ('Performance Share") was deemed to be earned at target, with that portion of such performance award not dependent solely on the Longs' performance in 2009 being prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which was the number of days elapsed between February 1, 2008 and October 20, 2008 and the denominator of which is the number of days in the full 2009/2010 performance cycle.
( 3)	In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on October 20, 2008, each Performance Share was converted into the right to receive $71.50 per share in cash.
( 4)	In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding unvested restricted share vested on October 20, 2008 and was converted into the right to receive $71.50 per share in cash.
( 5)	These shares were held pursuant to Longs Drug Stores California, Inc. 401(k) Plan. The number of shares is based on a report prepared by the Plan as of 10/16/08.
( 6)	In accordance with the tender offer commenced under the Merger Agreement, the shares listed were exchanged for the right to receive $71.50 per share in cash.
( 7)	Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, this option, which provided for vesting in four (4) equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date, was converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Longs common stock underlying the option multiplied by the difference between the per share exercise price and the per share merger consideration of $71.50.
