Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	These options were reported in Mr. Fyrwald's Form 4 filed on December 5, 2011.

( 3)	Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, these options were converted into options to purchase 254,843 shares of Ecolab Inc. common stock, in the aggregate, at an exercise price of $30.67 per share, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Nalco stock option.
