Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).

(1) The shares of the common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of ZymoGenetics, Inc. to which this Form 4 relates are held by Warburg, Pincus Equity Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and two affiliated partnerships organized under Netherlands law, Warburg, Pincus Netherlands Equity Partners I, C.V. and Warburg, Pincus Netherlands Equity Partners III, C.V. (together, "WPEP"). Warburg Pincus & Co., a New York general partnership ("WP"), is the managing member of Warburg Pincus Partners LLC, a New York limited liability company ("WP Partners"). WP Partners is the general partner of WPEP. WPEP is managed by Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company ("WP LLC" and together with WPEP, WP and WP Partners, the "Warburg Pincus Entities").
(2) Jonathan S. Leff, a director of the Issuer, is a General Partner of WP and a Managing Director and Member of WP LLC, and therefore, may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) in an indeterminate portion of the Common Stock held by WPEP. All shares indicated as owned by Mr. Leff are included because of his affiliation with the Warburg Pincus Entities. Mr. Leff disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by the Warburg Pincus Entities.
