Employment Agreements
In December 1997, Intercardia entered into a new three-year employment
agreement with Mr. Duncan, replacing a prior three-year employment agreement
that expired in January 1998. The agreement provides for an annual base salary
and annual bonuses based on the achievement of performance milestones to be
mutually agreed upon by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee and
Mr. Duncan. The agreement with Mr. Duncan also provides that during the term of
the agreement and, unless Mr. Duncan terminates his employment for cause, for a
period of one year thereafter, Mr. Duncan will not compete with Intercardia,
directly or indirectly. In the event Mr. Duncan's employment is terminated by
the Board of Directors without just cause, Intercardia shall continue to pay for
a period of one year Mr. Duncan's base salary plus a percentage of his salary
equal to the average annual bonus percentage earned for the two years prior to
the date of termination.
In November 1995, Intercardia entered into three-year employment
agreements with each of Dr. Ward and Mr. Reichow. The agreements provide for
base salaries and annual bonuses based upon the achievement of performance
milestones to be set by the Board of Directors. The
6
agreements also provide that during their term and, unless the employee
terminates his employment for cause, for a period of six months thereafter, the
employee will not compete with Intercardia, directly or indirectly. In the event
that the employment of Dr. Ward or Mr. Reichow is terminated by the Board of
Directors without just cause, Intercardia shall continue to pay Dr. Ward or Mr.
Reichow, as the case may be, his base salary plus the greater of prorated
bonuses earned or prorated average bonuses received while an employee for a
period of six months.
Compensation of Directors
All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with
each board or committee meeting attended. Each director who is not an employee
of Intercardia or Interneuron receives a fee of $2,000 per Board meeting
attended in person.
The Option Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory options to
non-employee directors of Intercardia pursuant to the Automatic Grant Program,
as described above under the heading "Intercardia Proposal No. 3 -- Approval of
Amendments to the 1994 Stock Option Plan".
Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation
Committee") consists of Dr. Cooper and Mr. Ruvane, and is responsible for
establishing compensation policy and administering the compensation programs of
Intercardia's executive officers. The Compensation Committee met two times
during Fiscal 1997 to review executive compensation policies, compensation
programs, and individual salaries and awards for the executive officers. The
purpose of this report is to inform stockholders of Intercardia's compensation
policies for executive officers and the rationale for the compensation paid to
executive officers in Fiscal 1997.
Compensation Philosophy
Intercardia's compensation program is designed to motivate and reward
the executives responsible for the financial and strategic objectives essential
to Intercardia's long-term success and stockholder value. The financial goals
for compensation plans are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee.
Intercardia's total compensation philosophy is designed to support its
overall objective of creating value for its stockholders. Key objectives of this
philosophy are:
o To attract and retain key executives critical to the long-term
success of Intercardia;
o To support a performance-oriented environment that rewards
performance with respect to Intercardia's short-term and long-term
financial goals;
o To encourage maximum performance through the use of appropriate
incentive programs; and
o To align the interests of executives with those of Intercardia's
stockholders by providing a significant portion of compensation in
Intercardia's Common Stock.
7
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee annually reviews the base salary of each
officer. In determining appropriate salary levels, the Compensation Committee
considers individual performance, experience, level of responsibility, internal
equity and external pay practices for the comparable positions.
Management Incentive Plan
Intercardia has established the MIP to reward participants for their
contributions to the achievement of Company-wide performance goals. Each year
the Board of Directors will approve both the performance measures selected and
the specific financial targets used under the MIP. The Compensation Committee
believes these goals will drive the future success of the Company's business and
will enhance stockholder value. For Calendar 1996, Intercardia's corporate
objectives focused on the development and commercialization of bucindolol, the
Company's most advanced product. For Calendar 1997, Intercardia's corporate
objectives focused primarily on the development and commercialization of
bucindolol and the identification and advancement of other potential products or
programs.
The amount individual executives may earn (target awards) is directly
dependent upon the individual's position, responsibility and ability to impact
the Company's financial success. Awarded amounts are directly related to
performance. Company and individual performance for the Calendar 1997 was
evaluated during January 1998, and cash payments will be made to the executive
officers prior to the end of January 1998. See "--Executive Compensation --
Management Incentive Plan".
Stock Options
The stock option plan offered by Intercardia has been established to
provide all employees of Intercardia with an opportunity to share, along with
stockholders of Intercardia, in the long-term performance of Intercardia. Stock
options only have value to the employee if the price of Intercardia's stock
appreciates in value from the date the stock options were granted. Stockholders
also benefit from such stock price appreciation.
Grants of stock options are generally made upon commencement of
employment, with additional grants being made annually to all eligible
employees, and, occasionally, following a significant change in job
responsibility, scope or title. Stock options granted under the various stock
plans have vesting schedules of up to seven years and expire ten years from the
date of grant. The exercise price of options granted under the stock plans are
usually 100% of fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. See
" -- Executive Compensation -- Option Grants, Exercises and Holdings and Fiscal
Year-End Option Values".
CEO Compensation
Mr. Duncan's base salary and grants of stock options for Fiscal 1997
were determined in accordance with the criteria described in the Base Salary and
Stock Options sections of this
8
report. The annual base salary of Mr. Duncan was set at $300,000 as of January
3, 1998. Mr. Duncan received a bonus of $95,400 pursuant to the MIP for Calendar
1996.
Conclusion
The Compensation Committee believes that Intercardia's compensation
policies are structured to result in the highest level of performance from
Intercardia's executives. By providing a significant portion of each executive's
total potential compensation under the MIP and by providing each executive with
a significant number of stock options, the Compensation Committee believes that
it has closely aligned Intercardia executive's personal interests with those of
Intercardia and the stockholders. The Compensation Committee intends to continue
to review and analyze its policies in light of the environment in which
Intercardia competes for executives.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Intercardia was organized in March 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Interneuron, which acquired 3,500,000 shares of Intercardia's Common Stock for
nominal consideration. In September 1994, Intercardia completed the acquisition
of 80.0% of CPEC for a purchase price equal to 170,000 shares of Interneuron
Common Stock and cash payments and reimbursement of expenses aggregating
approximately $1,852,000. The value of the 170,000 shares provided by
Interneuron to Intercardia to consummate the CPEC acquisition was deemed to be
approximately $759,000, representing approximately 70% of the market price of
the Interneuron Common Stock at such date. This amount and approximately
$608,000 of other expenses incurred by Interneuron in connection with the
acquisition of CPEC and the funding of the BEST Study were deemed to be an
advance by Interneuron to Intercardia. In December 1994, upon the initial
closing of the private placement referred to below, the aggregate amount of
advances to Intercardia of approximately $1,367,000 was converted by Interneuron
into an aggregate of 182,296 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Intercardia
at a conversion price equal to $7.50 per share.
Intercardia is required to make two additional purchase price payments to
the former CPEC stockholders, each equal to a maximum of 75,000 shares of
Interneuron Common Stock (subject to adjustment based on the market price of
Interneuron Common Stock at the time of issuance) when a New Drug Application
with respect to bucindolol has been accepted for filing by the FDA and upon
receipt of an approval letter from the FDA with respect to bucindolol. In the
event these milestones are achieved, Intercardia will incur future charges to
operations equal to the fair market value of the Interneuron Common Stock
advanced to Intercardia to make such payments. The minimum and maximum charges
incurred in connection with each additional payment would be $750,000 and
$1,875,000, respectively. In exchange for Interneuron providing such payments of
Interneuron Common Stock, Intercardia will pay Interneuron an amount equal to
the fair market value of such Interneuron Common Stock, payable in cash or in
shares of Intercardia Common Stock, at Intercardia's option.
In January 1996, Interneuron purchased the CPEC stock held by the former
minority stockholders in exchange for 342,792 shares of Interneuron Common
Stock. The aggregate number of shares of Interneuron Common Stock was calculated
by dividing $8,750,000 by $25.525, the then market price of Interneuron's Common
Stock. Fractional shares were paid in cash. As a result of this transaction,
Interneuron recorded a non-cash charge to operations during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1996 of approximately $6.1 million. Intercardia has a right
of first refusal, expiring in September 1999, with respect to certain sales
(registered or not) of CPEC stock by Interneuron.
In December 1995, Intercardia and Interneuron entered into a tax allocation
agreement to provide, among other things, for the payment of tax liabilities and
entitlement to tax refunds and
12
the allocation of responsibility and the providing of cooperation in the filing
of tax returns. Also in December 1995, Intercardia and Interneuron entered into
an intercompany services agreement which provides, among other things, for
Intercardia to adopt certain policies and procedures and provides for
Interneuron to include Intercardia and its employees in certain programs
administered by Interneuron, at cost, such as insurance, and to provide research
and development services to Intercardia upon request, on a cost plus basis.
Pursuant to the intercompany services agreement between Intercardia and
Interneuron, Interneuron has the right to purchase additional shares of Common
Stock at fair market value, if necessary to provide that Interneuron's equity
ownership in Intercardia does not fall below 51.0%. Intercardia has adopted a
policy that all future transactions between Intercardia and its executive
officers, directors and other affiliates must be approved by a majority of the
members of Intercardia's Board of Directors and by a majority of the
disinterested members of Intercardia's Board of Directors, and must be on terms
no less favorable to Intercardia than could be obtained from unaffiliated third
parties. In addition, this policy requires that any loans by Intercardia to its
executive officers, directors or other affiliates be for bona fide business
purposes only.
