Calculation of Filing Fee

	Transaction Valuation*		Amount of Filing Fee**
	$896,405,642		$35,229

*		Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only, in accordance with Rule 0-11(d) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The transaction valuation was calculated by multiplying the offer price of $53.00 per share by 16,913,314, the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), of Datascope Corp. (“Datascope”) outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of September 12, 2008, as represented by Datascope in the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Datascope, Getinge AB and DaVinci Merger Sub, Inc., which Shares consist of (a) 15,911,514 Shares issued and outstanding and (b) 1,001,800 Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options.
**		The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11, equals $39.30 per million dollars of the transaction valuation.
