Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting person is Brown Simpson Asset Management, LLC ("BSAM"), a New York limited liability company, which is the sole manager of Goodnow Capital, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Goodnow"). Goodnow is the holder of 30,601,644 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Incara, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement of Goodnow, management and control of Goodnow is vested exclusively in the sole manager and, as a result, BSAM possesses the sole power to vote and direct the disposition of all securities of the Company owned by Goodnow. Thus, for the purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, BSAM is deemed to beneficially own 30,601,644 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
2. On July 28, 2003, the Company issued a certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") to Goodnow in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 in connection with certain bridge financing provided to the Company by Goodnow. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the outstanding principal amount of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, automatically converts into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.10 per share upon consummation of the merger (the "Merger") of Incara Pharmaceuticals Corporation, the sole stockholder of the Company (the "Parent"), with and into the Company. On November 20, 2003, the Merger was consummated and, as a result, the Note was automatically converted into 30,601,444 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
3. The obligations of the Company under the Note had been guaranteed by the Parent pursuant that certain Guaranty, dated as of July 28, 2003 and amended on September 16, 2003 (the "Guaranty"), which Guaranty had provided that any cash payment made thereunder may be converted, at Goodnow's election, into shares of common stock of the Parent at a conversion price of $.10 per share. The Guaranty expired upon the conversion of the Note in connection with the Merger. Goodnow also held (i) a warrant to purchase 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Company Warrant") and (ii) a warrant to purchase 50,000,000 shares of common stock of the Parent (the "Parent Warrant"). Each of the Company Warrant and the Parent Warrant expired by their terms upon consummation of the Merger.
