Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On each of July 7, 2005 and July 8, 2005, Xmark Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Xmark LP") purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Incara Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company"). On each of July 7, 2005 and July 8, 2005, Xmark Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Xmark Ltd"), purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock. The reporting person is Xmark Asset Management, LLC ("XAM"), a New York limited liability company, which is the investment manager for Xmark LP and Xmark Ltd, and the sole manager of Goodnow Capital, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Goodnow"). Goodnow is the holder of 8,107,039 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to Goodnow's Operating Agreement, management and control of Goodnow is vested exclusively in the sole manager and,
(2)	as a result, XAM possesses the sole power to vote and direct the disposition of all securities of the Company owned by Goodnow. Mitchell D. Kaye is Chief Investment Officer of XAM, and as such possesses sole power to vote and direct the disposition of all securities of the Company held by Xmark LP, Xmark Ltd and Goodnow. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a certain Voting Trust Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2004, by and among Great Point Partners, on behalf of Biomedical Value Fund, L.P. and Biomedical Offshore Value Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the "Biomedical Funds"), the Company and XAM, as voting trustee: (i) the Biomedical Funds deposited into a voting trust (the "Voting Trust") the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Voting Trust Shares") purchased by the Biomedical Funds from the Company pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2004 (the "Purchase Agreement"),
(3)	by and among the Company and the investors named therein, in exchange for a voting trust certificate issued by the voting trustee of the Voting Trust; (ii) XAM, as the voting trustee of the Voting Trust, has the exclusive right and power to vote the Voting Trust Shares and to give written consents with respect to any lawful corporate action of the Company, and (iii) except as set forth in clause (ii) above, all powers and privileges affecting the Voting Trust Shares attach to the voting trust certificates issued in exchange therefor. While XAM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Voting Trust Shares pursuant to its power to vote and give written consents with respect to the Voting Trust Shares, XAM does not own and expressly disclaims any pecuniary interest in the Voting Trust Shares.
(4)	As a result of the fact that XAM possesses the sole power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock held by Xmark LP, Xmark Ltd and Goodnow, and the sole power to vote the Voting Trust Shares, for purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, XAM may be deemed to beneficially own 9,347,482 Shares, or 66.8% of the shares deemed issued and outstanding as of July 8, 2005. XAM's interest in the securities reported herein is limited to its pecuniary interest in Goodnow, Xmark LP and Xmark Ltd, if any.
