and subject to general principles of equity.

----------
present, in all material respects, the financial position of Incara
13
and the results of its operations and its cash flows at such dates and for the
periods indicated and were prepared in conformity in all material respects with
United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be otherwise indicated
therein). As of the Initial Closing Date, Incara has not incurred and is not
liable for any material liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed on
the Financial Statements in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles, except as set forth in the Financial Statements or
Schedule 3(f).
-------------
(g) Taxes. Incara has filed in a timely manner any federal,
-----
state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and filings with the appropriate
Governmental Authorities (as defined below) in all jurisdictions in which such
returns, reports and filings are required to be filed (collectively, the
"Returns"), including income, franchise, property and other taxes, and has paid
-------
or accrued the appropriate amounts reflected on such Returns heretofore required
to be filed. All such returns, reports and filings are true, correct and

income, profits, franchise, sales, use, occupation, property, excise, employment
and other taxes (including interest, penalties and withholdings of tax) due from

party to any agreement, contract or arrangement that would result, separately or
in the aggregate, in the payment of any "excess parachute payments" as of the
Initial Closing Date within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code"). Incara has complied and will comply with all applicable laws
----
relating to the payment and withholding of taxes (including withholding and
reporting requirements under Section 1441 through 1464, 3401 through 3406, 6041
and 6049 of the Code and similar provisions under any other laws) and, within
the time and in the manner prescribed by law, have withheld from wages, fees and
other payments and paid over to the proper Governmental Authorities all amounts

(h) Plans. As of the Initial Closing Date, except as set forth
-----
on Schedule 3(h), which sets forth an accurate and complete list and description
-------------
of all employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by Incara or to which
Incara is required to make contributions (the "Benefit Plans"), Incara does not
-------------
maintain, sponsor, is not required to make contributions to or otherwise have
any liability with respect to any pension, savings, profit sharing, thrift or
other retirement plan, employee stock ownership plan, deferred compensation,
stock option, stock appreciation, stock ownership, stock purchase, performance
share, bonus or other incentive plan, severance plan, health or group insurance
plan, welfare plan, or other similar plan, agreement, policy or understanding
(whether written or oral), whether or not such plan is intended to be qualified
under Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, which plan covers any employee or former
employee of Incara. The Benefit Plans have been and are administered in
substantial compliance with their terms and the requirements of applicable law.
No Benefit Plan is subject to the provisions of Section 412 of the Code or Part
3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA. No Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of
ERISA. During the past five years, neither Incara nor any business or entity
then controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Incara contributed
to or was obliged to contribute to an employee pension
14
plan that was subject to Title IV of ERISA (no representation is made as to
plans administered by Interneuron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., who owned a majority of
Incara's Common Stock prior to August 1999). Incara has satisfied all funding,
compliance and reporting requirements for all Benefit Plans. With respect to
each Benefit Plan, Incara has timely paid all contributions (including employee
salary reduction contributions) and all insurance premiums that have become due
and any such expense accrued but not yet due has been properly reflected in the
Financial Statements. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the parties hereto, the performance by any party to this Agreement of their
respective obligations or undertakings contemplated under this Agreement, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will (A)
entitle any employee of Incara to severance pay or termination benefits, or (B)
accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of
compensation due to any such employee or former employee.

SECTION 4. Representation and Warranties of EPIL and EIS. EPIL and EIS
---------------------------------------------
hereby represent and warrant (individually as to itself) to Incara and Aeolus,
as of the date hereof, as follows:
(a) Organization. EPIL is a private limited liability company, duly
------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Ireland and
has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties,
to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted
and to consummate the transactions to which it is a
19
party contemplated hereby. EPIL, where applicable, is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or the property owned by it requires
such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), operations, condition
(financial or otherwise), or prospects of EPIL, as applicable (an "EPIL Material
-------------
Adverse Effect"). EIS is an exempted limited liability company, duly organized,
--------------
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Bermuda and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties, to
carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted and
to consummate the transactions to which it is a party contemplated hereby. EIS,
where applicable, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good
standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or the property owned by it requires such qualification, except where
the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have
a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities (contingent or
otherwise), operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of EIS,
as applicable (an "EIS Material Adverse Effect").
---------------------------
(b) Authorization of Transaction Documents. Each of EPIL and EIS has
--------------------------------------
full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to perform
its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery, and
performance by each of EPIL and EIS of this Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which it is a party (including the purchase and acceptance of the
Securities) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action by EPIL
and EIS and, when executed and delivered by EPIL and EIS, this Agreement and
each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party will be the valid
and binding obligation of EPIL and EIS, enforceable against it in accordance
with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity.
(c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by EPIL and
------------
EIS of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which each of them
is a party (including the purchase and acceptance of the Securities) and
compliance with provisions hereof and thereof by EPIL and EIS will not violate
conflict with or constitute or result in a breach of or default under (or an
event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default)
or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under (i)
the respective charter or bylaws of EPIL or EIS, (ii) applicable law, statute,
rule or regulation, or any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree
of any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental body
applicable to EPIL or EIS or any of their respective properties or assets or
(iii) any material contract to which EPIL or EIS is a party, except, in each
case, where such violation, breach, default, termination, cancellation or
acceleration would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an EPIL Material
Adverse Effect or an EIS Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Approvals. Except for consents which may be required under
---------
Applicable Anti-Trust Laws, no material permit, authorization, consent, approval
or order of or by, or any notification of or filing with, any person or entity
(governmental or otherwise) is required in
20
connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by EPIL
or EIS or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
(e) Investment Representations.
--------------------------
(i) Each of EPIL and EIS is sophisticated in transactions
of this type and capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
transactions described herein and in the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party, and has the capacity to protect its own interests.
Neither EPIL nor EIS has been formed solely for the purpose of entering
into the transactions described herein and therein and each is acquiring
the Securities (and the Underlying Shares) for investment for its own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale
or distribution thereof, in whole or in part, and no other person has a
direct or indirect interest, beneficial or otherwise in the Securities (or
the Underlying Shares); provided, however, that EPIL and EIS shall be
-------- -------
permitted to convert or exchange such Securities in accordance with their
terms.
(ii) EPIL and EIS acknowledge their understanding that the
private placement and sale of the Securities (and the Underlying Shares) is
exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In furtherance thereof,
EPIL and EIS each represents and warrants that it is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act, has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its
investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and
personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to its
investment in Incara.
(iii) Each of EPIL and EIS agrees that it shall not sell or
otherwise transfer any of the Securities (or the Underlying Shares) without
registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from
registration, and fully understands and agrees that it must bear the total
economic risk of its purchase for an indefinite period of time because,
among other reasons, none of the Securities (or the Underlying Shares) have
been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of
any applicable state or other jurisdiction and, therefore, cannot be
resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities
laws of such states or jurisdictions or an exemption from such registration
is available. Each of EPIL and EIS understands that Incara is under no
obligation to register the Securities (or the Underlying Shares) on its
behalf with the exception of certain registration rights, as provided in
the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. EPIL and EIS
understand the lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfer of the
Securities (and the Underlying Shares) and that this investment is suitable
only for a person or entity of adequate financial means that has no need
for liquidity of this investment and that can afford a total loss of its
investment.
(f) Legal Proceedings, etc. There is no legal, administrative,
----------------------
arbitration or other action or proceeding or governmental investigation pending,
or to the knowledge of either EPIL or EIS threatened, against EPIL or EIS that
challenges the validity or performance of this
21
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which EPIL and EIS or any of
their affiliates is a party.
(g) Brokers or Finders. There have been no investment bankers,
------------------
brokers or finders used by EPIL or EIS or their affiliates in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and no persons or
entities are entitled to a fee or compensation in respect thereof.
SECTION 5. Covenants of the Parties.
------------------------
(a) Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure.
-------------------------------
(i) Subject to clause (ii) below, from and after the date
hereof, Incara, Aeolus, EPIL and EIS (and their respective affiliates)
shall not disclose to any person or entity the terms of this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents or the contents thereof or the parties
thereto, except that such parties may make such disclosure (x) to their
directors, officers, employees and advisors, and potential bank creditors
and investors, so long as they shall have advised such persons of the
obligation of confidentiality herein and for whose breach or default the
disclosing party shall be responsible or (y) as required by applicable
law, rule, regulation or judicial or administrative process, provided
--------
that the disclosing party uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
an order or ruling protecting the confidentiality of confidential
information of the other party contained herein or therein and notifies
the other party prior to such disclosure so that such other party may, if
it chooses, seek such relief. The parties shall be entitled to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of any breach or threatened
breach of the foregoing covenant without the requirement of posting a bond
or other collateral. This Section 5(a)(i) shall not restrict the ability of
EPIL, EIS or their affiliates to complete and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission all required reports and filings to be made by EPIL or
EIS as a stockholder of Incara, without the prior consent of Incara.
(ii) Prior to issuing the initial press release or public
disclosure in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby (the "Initial Press Release") by Incara or Aeolus, the party
---------------------
proposing such issuance shall obtain the consent of EPIL to the contents
thereof, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Thereafter, Incara may issue press releases made in the ordinary course of
its business, referring to research collaborations involving Incara, and
which do not differ from or go beyond the terms of the Initial Press
Release (except that no quotes from EPIL shall be repeated), without
obtaining the consent of EPIL to the contents thereof; provided, however,
-------- -------
that any other type of press release or public disclosure by Incara in
respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will
require the consent of EPIL to the contents thereof, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) Conduct of Business. From the date of this Agreement until
-------------------
the earlier of (x) the final Later Closing Date and (y) the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 7
22
hereof, Incara shall (i) operate its business only in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practices and (ii) not create, adopt, enact or
approve any (nor amend, supplement or modify any existing) agreement, contract
or arrangement that would result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment
of any "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code; provided, that this clause (ii) shall not be deemed violated by any
"excess parachute payments" resulting from any agreement, contract or
arrangement (including any stock options or other stock grants) in effect as of
the Initial Closing Date as to which Incara and Aeolus have represented herein
would not result in the payment of any "excess parachute payments" as of the
Initial Closing Date.
(c) Reserved Shares. Incara shall reserve and at all times keep
---------------
available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued
stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance
of such shares upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(d) Use of Proceeds.
---------------
(i) Without the prior written approval of EPIL , the following
proceeds from the sale of the Shares shall be used in the following manner:
(A) at least U.S.$[*] of the proceeds of the Initial
Purchase shall be used to fund the continued research and development
by Aeolus and Incara of the Compounds in the Field and the achievement
of the IND Milestone;
(B) the proceeds of the sale of Shares to EPIL relating
to the Preliminary Milestone shall be used, (x) if the Preliminary
Milestone was reached as a result of the occurrence of a Third Party
Equity Purchase, solely to fund the continued research and development
by Aeolus and Incara of the Compounds in the Field and the achievement
of the remaining Milestone Events, and (y) if the Preliminary
Milestone was reached as a result of the occurrence of a Third Party
Collaboration, for general corporate purposes; and

relating to the any other Milestone Event shall be used solely to fund
the continued research and development by Aeolus and Incara of the
Compounds in the Field and the achievement of the remaining Milestone
Events; provided, that to the extent that, at the time Aeolus obtains
any Milestone Event, any proceeds from the purchase of Shares by EPIL
that were to be used to obtain such Milestone remain available, Incara
may use such unutilized funds in the ordinary course of its business;
provided, further that all proceeds of the purchase of Shares
resulting from the obtainment of such Milestone Event shall be used in
accordance with this clause (C) to obtain the next Milestone Event.
[*] Confidential Treatment Requested; Certain Information Omitted and Filed
Separately with SEC.

In the event that Incara utilizes funds from a source other than the
purchase of Shares by EPIL to fund the obtainment of any Milestone Event,
the proceeds resulting from EPIL's purchase of the Share upon such
Milestone Event may to used to reimburse Incara for such advances.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no proceeds of the
purchase by EPIL of Shares under this Agreement shall be used to

distributions on any capital stock of Incara, Aeolus or any of their
respective affiliates (other than any dividends or distributions to
any affiliate of Elan);
(B) the purchase, redemption, retirement or other
acquisition of any of the capital stock now or hereafter outstanding
of Incara, Aeolus or any of their respective affiliates (other than
repurchases from employees, consultants or other parties subject to
reverse vesting arrangements);
(C) any transaction (other than for the payment of salary
of, or reimbursement of expenses incurred by, an employee, or payments
of compensation made under a consulting agreement, in each case in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice of Incara),
with any officer, manager, director or shareholder of Incara, Aeolus
or any of their respective affiliates or with any affiliates of an
officer, manager, director or shareholder of Incara, Aeolus or any of
their respective affiliates (including family members);
(D) the making of any loans, except advances and similar
expenditures in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices; or
(E) the payment of any bonus, salary, commission profit
sharing or other compensation, except such payments as are within
ordinary course of business consistent with past practices of such
company.
(e) Further Assurances. From and after the date hereof, each
------------------
of the parties hereto agree to do or cause to be done such further acts and
things and deliver or cause to be delivered to each other such additional
assignments, agreements, powers and instruments, as each may reasonably require
or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 6. Survival and Indemnification.
----------------------------
(a) Survival. For the purposes of this Section, the representations
--------
and warranties of Incara, Aeolus, EPIL and EIS contained in Sections 3 and 4
hereof shall survive for
24
a period of 24 months from and after the date hereof, and the provisions of
Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, 16 and 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement;
all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall cease to have effect and
be null and void upon the termination of this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification. In addition to all rights and remedies available to
---------------
the parties hereto at law or in equity, Incara and Aeolus (each, in such
capacity, "Indemnifying Party") shall indemnify EPIL, its stockholders,
------------------
officers, directors and assigns, their affiliates, and their affiliates'
stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives,
successors and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Person"), and save and
------------------
hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or
reimburse each such Indemnified Person, as and when incurred, for any and all
loss, liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage,
deficiency, tax, penalty, fine or expense, whether or not arising out of any
claims by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person or any third party, including
interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and all amounts
paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing
(collectively, "Losses"), that any such Indemnified Person may suffer, sustain
------
incur or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating or
incidental to or by virtue of:
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or
warranty of Incara or Aeolus contained in this Agreement or the
Development Agreement;
(ii) any third party claim or action, or potential or threatened
claim or action, related to this Agreement, the Development Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;
(iii) any nonfulfillment, default or breach of any covenant or
agreement on the part of Incara or Aeolus under this Agreement or the
Development Agreement; or
(iv) the research and development activities conducted by Incara or
Aeolus on any Compound prior to the Initial Closing Date.
(c) Maximum Recovery. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
----------------
contrary, in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for indemnification
under this Section 6 in an amount in excess of the aggregate of the purchase
price paid for the Shares. No Indemnified Person shall assert any such claim
unless Losses in respect thereof incurred by any Indemnified Person, when
aggregated with all previous Losses hereunder, equal or exceed U.S. $250,000,
but at such time that an Indemnified Person is entitled to assert a claim, such
claim shall include all Losses covered by this Section 6.
(d) Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon judicial determination
---------
that is final and no longer appealable, that the act or omission giving rise to
the indemnification set forth above resulted primarily out of or was based
primarily upon the Indemnified Person's negligence (unless such Indemnified
Person's negligence was based upon the Indemnified Person's reliance in good
faith upon any of the representations, warranties, covenants or promises made by
the Indemnifying Party herein), the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible
for any
25
Losses sought to be indemnified in connection therewith, and the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnified Person all amounts
previously paid in full or partial satisfaction of such indemnity, together with
all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) of the Indemnifying
Party reasonably incurred in connection with the Indemnified Persons claim for
indemnity, together with interest at the rate per annum publicly announced by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Guaranty Trust Company, or its successor, as its prime rate from the time
of payment of such amounts to the Indemnified Person until repayment to the
Indemnifying Party.
(e) Investigation. All indemnification rights hereunder shall survive
-------------
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, irrespective of any investigation, inquiry or
examination made for or on behalf of, or any knowledge of the Indemnified Person
or the acceptance of any certificate or opinion.
(f) Contribution. If the indemnity provided for in this Section 6
------------
shall be, in whole or in part, unavailable to any Indemnified Person, due to
Section 6(b) being declared unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction
based upon reasons of public policy, so that Section 6(b) shall be insufficient
to hold each such Indemnified Person harmless from Losses which would otherwise
be indemnified hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person
shall each contribute to the amount paid or payable for such Loss in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the
other, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and be in addition
to any liability that the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have. The indemnity,
contribution and expense reimbursement obligations that the Indemnifying Party
has under this Section 6 shall survive the expiration of the Transaction
Documents. The parties hereto further agree that the indemnification and
reimbursement commitments set forth in this Agreement shall apply whether or not
the Indemnified Person is a formal party to any such lawsuit, claims or other
proceedings.
(g) Limitation. This Section 6 is not intended to limit the rights or
----------
remedies otherwise available to any party hereto with respect to this Agreement
or any other the Transaction Document.
(h) Exclusion of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
----------------------
in this Agreement, no party shall be liable to any other party by reason of any
representation or warranty, condition or other term or any duty of common law,
or under the express terms of this Agreement, for any consequential, special or
incidental or punitive loss or damage, whether for loss of current or future
profits, loss of enterprise value or otherwise.
SECTION 7. Termination. (a) This Agreement shall terminate on the
-----------
earliest to occur of any of the following events:
(i) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto;
26
(ii) by written notice of EPIL and EIS to Incara, if (A) the
First Phase I Milestone shall not have occurred prior to the close of
business on the date that is 180 days after the date set forth in the
Development Plan for the achievement of such Milestone Event or (B) the
First Phase II Milestone shall not have occurred prior to the close of
business on the date that is 180 days after the date set forth in the
Development Plan for the achievement of such Milestone Event, in each case,
subject to the extension by the Steering Committee of such date set forth
in the Development Plan;
(iii) by written notice of EPIL and EIS to Incara, if Incara or
Aeolus shall have materially breached any of its representations,
warranties or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Development
Agreement, which breach, if curable, has not been cured within 15 days of
such notice or if a Bankruptcy Event (as defined below) shall have occurred
with respect to Incara or Aeolus; or
(iv) by written notice of Incara to EPIL, if EPIL or EIS shall
have materially breached any of its representations, warranties or
agreements contained in this Agreement or the Development Agreement, which
breach, if curable, has not been cured within 15 days of such notice or if
a Bankruptcy Event (as defined below) shall have occurred with respect to
EPIL or EIS.
(b) Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve any party of any
liability for a breach of this Agreement prior to its termination. Except as set
forth in Section 6(a), all rights and obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall terminate.
(c) For the purpose of this Section 7, a "Bankruptcy Event", with
----------------
respect to any party, shall occur upon the following:
(i) the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, administrator,
examiner, trustee or similar officer of such party or over all or
substantially all of its assets under the law of any applicable
jurisdiction, including without limitation, the United States of America,
Bermuda or Ireland; or
(ii) an application or petition for bankruptcy, corporate
re-organization, composition, administration, examination, arrangement or
any other procedure similar to any of the foregoing under the law of any
applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation, the United States of
America, Bermuda or Ireland, is filed, and is not discharged within sixty
(60) days, or a party applies for or consents to the appointment of a
receiver, administrator, examiner or similar officer of it or of all or a
material part of its assets, rights or revenues or the assets and/or the
business of a party are for any reason seized, confiscated or condemned.
