(the "Company") with respect to the registration of shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") to be issued under the Company's 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). On November 1, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 8, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Quest") and Fountain, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest ("Merger Sub"), the Company was merged with Merger Sub, with the Company being the surviving entity in the merger (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock (except shares held by the Company or any subsidiary, shares owned by Quest or Merger Sub and dissenting shares) was converted into the right to receive $43.90 in cash. In accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Common Stock granted under the Plan was cancelled at the effective time of the Merger and the holder of such option become entitled, in exchange for the cancellation of such option, to an amount in cash for each share of Common Stock subject to the option equal to the excess of $43.90 per share over the applicable per share exercise price of such option, subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. At the effective time of the Merger, the Plan was terminated. Because no additional shares of Common Stock can be issued or sold under the Plan, the Company hereby removes from registration 56,184 shares of Common Stock that were previously registered under the Registration Statement and not issued pursuant to the Plan, and hereby terminates the Registration Statement.
