    Angiogenesis is  the fundamental  process  by which  new blood  vessels  are
formed.  In  these  illustrations, cancer  cells  stimulate  angiogenesis, which
provides the blood  supply that  nourishes the  tumor and  supports its  growth.
EntreMed  believes  that  antiangiogenic products,  which  inhibit  the abnormal
growth of  blood  vessels,  may have  significant  advantages  over  traditional
therapies  for cancer. The Company  is currently developing several angiogenesis
inhibitors.
 
    All of the  Company's product candidates  are in the  development stage  and
require further research, development, testing and regulatory clearances.

FORTH UNDER THE HEADING "RISK FACTORS."
    
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
    EntreMed  is  engaged   primarily  in  the   research  and  development   of
biopharmaceutical  products that address the role  of blood and blood vessels in
the prevention and treatment  of a broad range  of diseases. The Company's  core
technologies  include (i) an antiangiogenesis program focused on the development
of proprietary products  intended to inhibit  the abnormal growth  of new  blood
vessels  associated with cancer and certain causes of blindness and (ii) a blood
cell permeation device  designed to enhance  the ability of  red blood cells  to
deliver  oxygen to  organs and  tissues and  which may  also be  used to deliver
drugs, genes  or  other therapeutic  agents  that otherwise  would  not  readily
diffuse through blood cell membranes.
 
    Angiogenesis  is  the fundamental  process by  which  new blood  vessels are
formed  and  primarily  occurs  during  the  first  three  months  of  embryonic
development.  Except  for wound  healing and  certain reproductive  processes in
women, angiogenesis  is otherwise  generally associated  with several  diseases,
including  cancer and  certain causes  of blindness.  The Company  believes that
antiangiogenic products, which inhibit the abnormal growth of blood vessels, may
have significant advantages over traditional  therapies for these diseases.  The
Company  is  currently  developing  several  angiogenesis  inhibitors, including
thalidomide and its chemical analogs and Angiostatin-TM-, a protein produced  by
the  body.  The Company  is also  applying its  expertise in  the role  of blood
function to  the development  of  a blood  cell  permeation device  designed  to
enhance the oxygen releasing capabilities of red blood cells. Organs and tissues
in  the body require oxygen to function  properly and oxygen deficiency may lead
to tissue damage or death.
 
   
    In  December   1995,   the   Company  and   Bristol-Myers   Squibb   Company
("Bristol-Myers")  entered  into a  collaboration  to develop  and commercialize
certain  antiangiogenesis   therapeutics.   This  collaboration   provides   for
Bristol-Myers  to  fund  Company  research, provide  milestone  payments  to the
Company and pay  the Company royalties  on net sales  of any products  developed
under  the collaboration.  In addition,  Bristol-Myers made  a $6,500,000 equity
investment in the  Company and agreed  to make an  additional $5,000,000  equity
investment  at  the closing  of this  offering. In  return, the  Company granted
Bristol-Myers exclusive  worldwide  rights  to  antiangiogenic  applications  of
thalidomide, thalidomide analogs and Angiostatin-TM- protein.
    
 
    The  Company's  product  candidates have  been  developed  primarily through
sponsored  research  collaborations  and  licensing  agreements.  The  principal
antiangiogenesis  therapeutics currently  under development by  the Company were
licensed from Children's Hospital  at Harvard Medical  School where the  Company
sponsors  research  under  the  direction  of Dr.  M.  Judah  Folkman.  The flow
electroporation technology used in the cell permeation device was licensed  from
the  Center  for  Blood Research  Laboratories  at Harvard  Medical  School. The
Company's sponsored research programs are augmented by its internal capabilities
in the fields of the vasculature system, blood vessel growth and blood function.

    To date, the Company and its collaborators have:
 
    -Initiated Phase II clinical trials  to evaluate the antiangiogenic  effects
     of  thalidomide in  inhibiting the  progression of  breast cancer, prostate
     cancer and Kaposi's sarcoma.
 
    -Initiated Phase II clinical trials  to evaluate the antiangiogenic  effects
     of  thalidomide  in  inhibiting  the  progression  of  age-related  macular
     degeneration, a major cause of blindness.
 
    -Isolated,  identified,  sequenced,   cloned  and  recombinantly   expressed
     Angiostatin-TM-  protein. In  preclinical studies,  Angiostatin-TM- protein
     appeared to inhibit  vascularization and growth  of primary and  metastatic
     tumors.
 
    -Constructed a prototype device designed to introduce inositol hexaphosphate
     ("IHP")  molecules into red blood cells,  which may enhance the delivery of

    The Company's strategy is to accelerate development of its  antiangiogenesis
and  cell permeation technologies as well  as other promising technologies which
the Company perceives to have  clinical and commercial potential. The  principal
elements  of the Company's  strategy are (i)  to focus its  resources on current
core technologies, (ii) to broaden its product and technology portfolio  through
sponsored   research  collaborations  with   academic  institutions,  government
organizations and private enterprises, (iii) to augment product development with
its in-house  research and  development capabilities  and (iv)  to leverage  its
resources  through corporate partnerships  in order to minimize  the cost to the
Company of  late-stage  clinical  trials and  to  accelerate  effective  product
commercialization.   All  of  the  Company's   product  candidates  are  in  the
development  stage  and  require  further  research,  development,  testing  and
regulatory clearances.

    AN  INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES BEING OFFERED  HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK.  PROSPECTIVE  INVESTORS  SHOULD  CAREFULLY  CONSIDER  THE  FOLLOWING  RISK
FACTORS,  IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER  INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, IN
EVALUATING  AN  INVESTMENT  IN  THE  SHARES  OF  COMMON  STOCK  OFFERED  HEREBY.
PROSPECTIVE  INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE STATEMENTS IN THIS PROSPECTUS THAT
ARE NOT DESCRIPTIONS OF HISTORICAL FACTS MAY BE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS  THAT
ARE  SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM THOSE CURRENTLY  ANTICIPATED DUE TO  A NUMBER OF  FACTORS, INCLUDING  THOSE
IDENTIFIED UNDER "RISK FACTORS" AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
    
 
   
    HISTORY  OF LOSSES; ACCUMULATED  DEFICIT AND ANTICIPATED  FUTURE LOSSES.  To
date, the  Company  has  been  engaged primarily  in  research  and  development
activities  and, with the exception of license fees and research and development
funding  under  the   collaboration  with   Bristol-Myers  (the   "Bristol-Myers
Collaboration")   and  research  grants,  has  not  derived  any  revenues  from
operations. At  March  31, 1996,  the  Company  had an  accumulated  deficit  of
approximately  $22,162,000 and significant  losses are expected  to continue for
the foreseeable  future. The  Company will  be required  to conduct  substantial
research and development and clinical testing activities for all of its proposed
products,  which activities are  expected to result in  operating losses for the
foreseeable future,  particularly due  to the  extended time  period before  the
Company  expects to  commercialize any  products, if  ever. In  addition, to the
extent the  Company relies  upon others  for development  and  commercialization
activities,  the Company's  ability to  achieve profitability  will be dependent
upon the success  of such  third parties.  There can  be no  assurance that  the
Company   will  be  able  to  generate   revenues  from  operations  or  achieve
profitability on a sustained basis, if at all. See "Management's Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
    
 
    EARLY  STAGE AND UNCERTAINTY OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  The Company's proposed
products and research programs are in the early developmental stage and  require
significant  time-consuming  and costly  research  and development,  testing and
regulatory clearances.  Accordingly, the  Company  does not  expect any  of  its
product  candidates to be commercially available for several years, if ever. The
successful development  of  any product  is  subject  to the  risks  of  failure
inherent  in  the development  of products  or  therapeutic procedures  based on
innovative technologies. These risks include  the possibilities that any or  all
of  these proposed products or procedures are  found to be ineffective or toxic,
or otherwise fail to receive necessary regulatory clearances; that the  proposed
products  or  procedures are  uneconomical to  manufacture or  market or  do not
achieve broad market acceptance; that third parties hold proprietary rights that
preclude the  Company  from marketing  them;  or  that third  parties  market  a
superior  or  equivalent  product. The  failure  of the  Company's  research and
development activities  to  result in  any  commercially viable  products  would
materially adversely affect the Company's future prospects.
 
   
    UNCERTAINTIES   RELATED  TO  CLINICAL  TRIALS.    The  Company  has  limited
experience in  conducting  clinical trials  and  intends to  rely  primarily  on
Bristol-Myers or other pharmaceutical companies with which it may collaborate in
the  future  for clinical  development and  regulatory  approval of  its product
candidates. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of its
products, the  Company  or  its  collaborative  partners  will  be  required  to
demonstrate  through preclinical studies  and clinical trials  that the proposed
products are safe and effective for  use in each target indication. The  results
from  preclinical studies  and early  clinical trials  may not  be predictive of
results that  will be  obtained in  large-scale  testing, and  there can  be  no
assurance that the clinical trials conducted by the Company or its partners will
demonstrate  sufficient safety  and efficacy  to obtain  the required regulatory
approvals or will result in marketable products. One of the Company's  potential
products,  thalidomide,  is  believed to  have  caused severe  birth  defects in
children during the late  1950s and early 1960s.  Although the Company  believes
that the characteristics of thalidomide that may have affected fetal development
and  caused  birth  defects  by  blocking  new  blood  vessel  growth  may  make
    
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
   
thalidomide useful  in the  prevention and  treatment of  angiogenic  disorders,
there  can be no assurance  that clinical trials with  the drug will demonstrate
its safety and  efficacy or  that the  drug will  not be  associated with  other
characteristics that prevent or limit its commercial use.
    
 
   
    In  addition, clinical trials  are often conducted  with patients having the
most advanced stages of disease. During the course of treatment, these  patients
can  die or  suffer other adverse  medical effects  for reasons that  may not be
related to the  pharmaceutical agent  being tested, but  which can  nevertheless
affect  clinical trial results. Various companies in the pharmaceutical industry
have suffered  significant  setbacks in  advanced  clinical trials,  even  after
attaining  promising results in earlier trials.  Clinical trials for the product
candidates being developed by the Company  and its collaborators may be  delayed
by many factors. Any delays in, or termination of, the clinical trials of any of
the  Company's product candidates, or the failure of any clinical trials to meet
applicable regulatory standards,  could have  a material adverse  effect on  the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
    
 
    DEPENDENCE   ON   BRISTOL-MYERS   AND  OTHER   COLLABORATIVE   PARTNERS  AND
LICENSEES.  The Company does not  intend to conduct late-stage clinical  trials,
or  manufacture  or market  any  of its  product  candidates in  the foreseeable
future. The Company has granted Bristol-Myers the right to conduct  development,
manufacturing, commercialization and marketing activities relating to certain of
the   Company's  antiangiogenesis  technologies.  Accordingly,  the  Company  is
substantially dependent  on  Bristol-Myers  for  the  development,  funding  and
commercial  success of  any of these  product candidates.  In addition, payments
from Bristol-Myers  may  constitute  a  substantial  portion  of  the  Company's
revenues  for the  next several  years. The  Bristol-Myers Collaboration  may be
terminated for any reason by Bristol-Myers on six months' notice, in which event
Bristol-Myers would have no  further funding obligation to  the Company. In  the
event  Bristol-Myers  were  to  terminate  its  agreement  with  the  Company or
otherwise fail to  conduct its  collaborative activities successfully  and in  a
timely  manner, the preclinical and clinical development or commercialization of
the licensed antiangiogenesis product candidates would be delayed or terminated.
Any such  delay or  termination could  have  a material  adverse effect  on  the
Company's  business, financial condition and  results of operations. The success
of the Bristol-Myers Collaboration will  depend in part upon Bristol-Myers'  own
competitive,  marketing  and  strategic considerations,  including  the relative
advantages of alternative products being developed and marketed by Bristol-Myers
and  its  competitors.  In  addition,   if  Bristol-Myers  is  unsuccessful   in
commercializing  any  product  candidates,  the  Company's  business,  financial
condition and  results of  operations would  be materially  adversely  affected.
Bristol-Myers  has agreed, as soon as reasonably practicable, to sublicense to a
third party ophthalmological applications of thalidomide and its analogs, unless
Bristol-Myers reasonably believes  that the dosage  or method of  administration
will not be significantly different from oncological indications. Any failure or
delay  by Bristol-Myers to enter into  such a sublicense may substantially limit
or preclude the commercial development of these applications.
 
    The Company intends to enter into additional corporate alliances to  develop
and  commercialize products  based upon its  cell permeation  technology and any
other technologies that may be acquired or developed by the Company. The Company
expects to  grant to  its  collaborative partners  rights to  commercialize  any
products  developed under  these collaborative  agreements, and  the Company may
rely on its collaborative partners  to conduct research and development  efforts
and  clinical trials  on, obtain regulatory  approvals for,  and manufacture and
market any  products  licensed to  these  partners.  The amount  and  timing  of
resources  devoted to these activities generally will be controlled by each such
individual partner.  Because the  Company  generally expects  to retain  only  a
royalty  interest in sales  or a percentage  of profits of  products licensed to
third  parties,   its  revenues   may  be   less  than   if  it   retained   all
commercialization  rights and marketed products directly. In addition, there can
be no  assurance  that  the  corporate  partners  will  not  pursue  alternative
technologies   or  develop  competitive  products  as  a  means  for  developing
treatments for the diseases targeted by the Company's programs.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
    There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  be  successful   in
establishing  any additional  collaborative arrangements, that  products will be
successfully commercialized  under any  collaborative  arrangement or  that  the
Company  will  derive  any revenues  from  such arrangements.  In  addition, the
Company's  strategy  involves  entering  into  multiple,  concurrent   strategic
alliances  to pursue commercialization of its core technologies. There can be no
assurance that  the  Company  will  be  able  to  manage  simultaneous  programs
successfully.  With respect to existing and potential future strategic alliances
and collaborative arrangements, the Company will be dependent upon the expertise
and dedication  of sufficient  resources by  these outside  parties to  develop,
manufacture  or market  products. Should  a strategic  alliance or collaborative
partner fail to develop or commercialize a  product to which it has rights,  the
Company's  business,  financial condition  and  results of  operations  could be
materially and adversely affected.
 
   
    FUTURE  CAPITAL   NEEDS   AND   COMMITMENTS;   UNCERTAINTY   OF   ADDITIONAL
FUNDING.   The Company has incurred negative  cash flows since inception and has
expended, and expects to continue to  expend, substantial funds to continue  its
research  and development  programs. The  Company anticipates  that its existing
resources, together with the net proceeds of this offering and the proceeds from
the sale of  the BMS Shares  and committed funding  from Bristol-Myers, will  be
sufficient to fund the Company's operating expenses and capital requirements for
approximately  24 months from the date of this Prospectus, although there can be
no assurance that the  Company will not require  additional funds prior to  such
time.  There can be  no assurance that  the results of  research and development
activities, progress of preclinical  studies or clinical  trials, changes in  or
terminations  of relationships  with strategic  partners, changes  in the focus,
direction  or  costs  of  the  Company's  research  and  development   programs,
competitive and technological advances, the regulatory approval process or other
factors  will not  result in the  expenditure of the  Company's resources before
such time.  The  Company will  require  substantial  funds in  addition  to  the
proceeds  of  this  offering  to conduct  research  and  development activities,
preclinical studies  and clinical  trials, apply  for regulatory  approvals  and
commercialize any potential products, to the extent the Company engages directly
in such activities.
    
 
   
    The Company is a party to sponsored research agreements requiring it to fund
an  aggregate of approximately $6,492,000  through 1999 (including $6,000,000 to
Children's Hospital at Harvard Medical  School ("Children's Hospital")) and  has
recently  agreed to preliminary terms regarding  a proposed transaction that, if
consummated, would require the Company to fund additional sponsored research and
an equity investment in the approximate aggregate amount of $1,850,000 over  the
next two years. Pursuant to the terms of certain license agreements, the Company
is also obligated to exercise diligence in bringing potential products to market
and to make certain milestone payments that, in some instances, are substantial.
The  Company's  failure to  make any  required  sponsored research  or milestone
payment could result in  the termination of the  relevant sponsored research  or
license agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
    
 
    The  Company may seek additional  funding through collaborative arrangements
and public or private financings, including  equity financings. There can be  no
assurance that such collaborative arrangements or that additional financing will
be  available on acceptable terms  or at all. If  additional funds are raised by
issuing equity  securities,  further dilution  to  stockholders may  result.  If
adequate  funds are not available, the Company  may be required to delay, reduce
the scope of or eliminate one or  more of its research and development  programs
or   forfeit  its  rights  to  future  technologies;  to  obtain  funds  through
arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require the  Company
to  relinquish  rights to  certain of  its  technologies, product  candidates or
products that  the Company  would  otherwise seek  to develop  or  commercialize
itself;  or  to  license the  rights  to such  products  on terms  that  are not
favorable to the Company. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial Condition  and Results  of Operations"  and "Business  --
Collaborations and License Agreements."

    UNCERTAINTY   OF  GOVERNMENT   REGULATORY  REQUIREMENTS;   LENGTHY  APPROVAL
PROCESS.  The Company's research, development, preclinical and clinical  trials,
manufacturing  and marketing of most of its product candidates are subject to an
extensive regulatory  approval  process  by  the United  States  Food  and  Drug
Administration  (the "FDA") and  other regulatory agencies  in the United States
and abroad. The process of obtaining FDA and other required regulatory approvals
for drug  and biologic  products, including  required preclinical  and  clinical
testing,  is lengthy, expensive  and uncertain. There can  be no assurance that,
even after  such time  and expenditures,  the  Company will  be able  to  obtain
necessary  regulatory approvals for clinical testing or for the manufacturing or
marketing of  any  products. The  Company  or its  collaborators  may  encounter
significant  delays  or excessive  costs in  their  efforts to  secure necessary
approvals or  licenses. Even  if regulatory  clearance is  obtained, a  marketed
product  is  subject  to continual  review,  and later  discovery  of previously
unknown defects or failure to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements
may result in restrictions on a product's marketing or withdrawal of the product
from the market as well as  possible civil or criminal sanctions. See  "Business
- -- Government Regulation."
 
   
    COMPETITION;  RISK  OF  TECHNOLOGICAL  OBSOLESCENCE.    The  pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and bio-
    
pharmaceutical industries are intensely  competitive and competition from  other
companies  and other research and academic institutions is expected to increase.
Many of these companies have substantially greater financial and other resources
and  research  and   development  capabilities   than  the   Company  and   have
substantially greater experience in undertaking preclinical and clinical testing
of  products,  obtaining regulatory  approvals  and manufacturing  and marketing
pharmaceutical products. The Company is aware of other companies engaged in  the
development  of thalidomide  for various disease  indications, including Celgene
Corporation and Andrulis Pharmaceuticals,  and a number  of other companies  and
academic  institutions are pursuing angiogenesis  research and are testing other
angiogenesis  inhibitors.  The  Company's   blood  oxygen  enhancement   product
candidate  will  also  compete  for  certain  applications  with  numerous other
available  therapeutics  and  with  blood  and  blood  substitute  products   in
development  by others.  In addition  to competing  with universities  and other
research  institutions  in  the   development  of  products,  technologies   and
processes,  the Company may compete with  other companies in acquiring rights to
products or technologies from universities.
 
   
    Moreover, the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries
are rapidly evolving fields in which developments are expected to continue at  a
rapid  pace. There can  be no assurance  that the Company  will develop products
that are more effective  or achieve greater  market acceptance than  competitive
products,  or  that the  Company's competitors  will  not succeed  in developing
products and technologies that are more effective than those being developed  by
the  Company or that  would render the Company's  products and technologies less
competitive or obsolete. See "Business -- Competition."
    
 
    DEPENDENCE ON PATENTS  AND OTHER PROPRIETARY  RIGHTS; UNCERTAINTY OF  PATENT
POSITION  AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  The Company's  success will depend in part on
its ability to  obtain patent protection  for its products,  both in the  United
States  and  abroad. The  patent  position of  biotechnology  and pharmaceutical
companies in general is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and  factual
questions.  Although  the  Company has  filed  a number  of  patent applications
related to  the  Company's  technologies  in  the  United  States,  and  foreign
counterparts  of certain of  these patent applications have  been filed in other
countries, no patents have been granted to date. There can be no assurance  that
any  patents will be granted  or that patents issued to  the Company will not be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or  that the rights granted  thereunder
will provide proprietary protection to the Company. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance  that others  will not independently  develop similar  products or, if
patents are issued to the Company  or its collaborators, will not design  around
such patents.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
    Furthermore,  the  enactment  of the  legislation  implementing  the General
Agreement on Trade and Tariffs has resulted in certain changes to United  States
patent  laws that became  effective on June  8, 1995. Most  notably, the term of
patent protection for patent applications filed on  or after June 8, 1995 is  no
longer  a period of  seventeen years from the  date of grant. The  new term of a
United States patent will commence on the date of issuance and terminate  twenty
years  from the earliest  effective filing date of  the application. Because the
time from filing to issuance of  biotechnology patent application is often  more
than  three years,  a twenty-year  term from  the effective  date of  filing may
result in  a  substantially  shortened  term of  patent  protection,  which  may
adversely  impact the  Company's patent  position. If  this change  results in a
shorter period of  patent coverage,  the Company's business  could be  adversely
affected  to  the extent  that the  duration and  level of  the royalties  it is
entitled to receive from a collaborative partner is based on the existence of  a
valid patent.
 
    The  Company's potential products may conflict  with patents which have been
or may be granted to competitors,  universities or others. As the  biotechnology
industry  expands  and more  patents  are issued,  the  risk increases  that the
Company's potential products  may give  rise to  claims that  they infringe  the
patents  of others.  Such other  persons could  bring legal  actions against the
Company claiming damages and seeking  to enjoin clinical testing,  manufacturing
and  marketing of  the affected  products. Any  such litigation  could result in
substantial cost  to  the Company  and  diversion  of effort  by  the  Company's
management  and  technical personnel.  If any  such  actions are  successful, in
addition to any potential liability for  damages, the Company could be  required
to  obtain a license in order to  continue to manufacture or market the affected
products. There can be no assurance that  the Company would prevail in any  such
action  or  that  any license  required  under  any such  patent  would  be made
available on acceptable  terms, if  at all.  Failure to  obtain needed  patents,
licenses  or proprietary information held by  others may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. In  addition, if the Company becomes  involved
in  litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of the Company's time and
resources.
 
    Composition of matter  patent protection is  not available for  thalidomide.
The  Company is  aware of  at least  two other  issued patents  covering certain
non-antiangiogenic uses of thalidomide. Although  the Company believes that  the
claims  in such patents  will not interfere  with the Company's  proposed use of
thalidomide, there can be no assurance that the holders of such patents will not
be  able   to   exclude  the   Company   from  using   thalidomide   for   other
non-antiangiogenic uses of thalidomide.
 
    The  Company also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and
proprietary information. However,  trade secrets  are difficult  to protect  and
there   can  be  no  assurance  that   others  will  not  independently  develop
substantially equivalent  proprietary information  and techniques  or  otherwise
gain  access to the Company's trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that
the Company can meaningfully protect its rights to unpatented trade secrets. The
Company  requires  its  employees,  consultants   and  advisors  to  execute   a
confidentiality  agreement upon the commencement  of an employment or consulting
relationship with the Company. The  agreements generally provide that all  trade
secrets  and  inventions  conceived  by  the  individual  and  all  confidential
information developed or  made known to  the individual during  the term of  the
relationship  shall be the exclusive  property of the Company  and shall be kept
confidential  and  not   disclosed  to   third  parties   except  in   specified
circumstances.  There can be  no assurance, however,  that these agreements will
provide meaningful protection for the  Company's proprietary information in  the
event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.
 
    To  the extent that consultants, key  employees or other third parties apply
technological information independently developed  by them or  by others to  the
Company's  proposed projects, disputes may arise as to the proprietary rights to
such information which may not be resolved  in favor of the Company. Certain  of
the  Company's consultants  are employed by  or have  consulting agreements with
third parties and any inventions  discovered by such individuals generally  will
not  become property  of the Company.  See "Business --  Patents and Proprietary
Rights."
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
   
    DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL AND CONSULTANTS.  The Company is dependent  on
certain  of its executive  officers and scientific  personnel, including John W.
Holaday, Ph.D., the Company's Chairman,  President and Chief Executive  Officer,
and  Carol Nacy, Ph.D., the Company's  Executive Vice President. The Company has
obtained key person  life insurance policies  on the lives  of Drs. Holaday  and
Nacy  and, in April  1996 effective January  1, 1996, entered  into a three-year
employment agreement with Dr. Holaday. Competition for qualified employees among
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies is  intense, and the loss of  certain
of  such persons,  or an  inability to  attract, retain  and motivate additional
highly skilled scientific, technical and management personnel, could  materially
adversely affect the Company's business and prospects. There can be no assurance
that  the Company will be  able to retain its  existing personnel or attract and
retain additional qualified employees.
    
 
    The Company may also be dependent, in part, upon the continued contributions
of the  lead investigators  of the  Company's sponsored  research programs.  The
Company's  scientific consultants and  collaborators may have  commitments to or
consulting or  advisory agreements  with other  entities that  may affect  their
ability  to contribute to  the Company or  may be competitive  with the Company.
Inventions or processes discovered by  such persons will not necessarily  become
the  property of the Company, but may remain  the property of such persons or of
such persons' full-time employers. See "Management."
 
    RISK OF  PRODUCT LIABILITY;  AVAILABILITY  OF INSURANCE.    The use  of  the
Company's  potential  products  in  clinical trials  and  the  marketing  of any
pharmaceutical products may expose the Company to product liability claims.  The
Company  has  obtained a  level of  liability insurance  coverage that  it deems
appropriate for  its current  stage of  development. However,  there can  be  no
assurance  that  the  Company's  present insurance  coverage  is  adequate. Such
existing coverage will not be adequate as the Company further develops products,
and no assurance can be given that in the future adequate insurance coverage  or
indemnification  by  collaborative  partners  will  be  available  in sufficient
amounts or at a reasonable cost. A successful product liability claim could have
a material  adverse  effect on  the  business  and financial  condition  of  the
Company.
 
    UNCERTAINTY  RELATED TO HEALTH CARE REIMBURSEMENT  AND REFORM MEASURES.  The
Company's success may depend, in part, on the extent to which reimbursement  for
the  costs of therapeutic products and related treatments will be available from
third-party payors such as government health administration authorities, private
health insurers, managed care  programs and other  organizations. Over the  past
decade,  the cost of  health care has  risen significantly, and  there have been
numerous proposals by legislators, regulators and third-party health care payors
to curb these costs.  Some of these proposals  have involved limitations on  the
amount  of reimbursement  for certain products.  There can be  no assurance that
similar federal or  state health  care legislation will  not be  adopted in  the
future  or that any products  sought to be commercialized  by the Company or its
collaborators will  be considered  cost-effective or  that adequate  third-party
insurance  coverage will be available for  the Company to establish and maintain
price levels  sufficient  for  realization  of  an  appropriate  return  on  its
investment  in product  development. Moreover, the  existence or  threat of cost
control measures could have an adverse  effect on the willingness or ability  of
Bristol-Myers   or  other   potential  collaborators  to   pursue  research  and
development programs related to the Company's product candidates.
 
    HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.   The Company's research  and development involves  the
controlled  use of hazardous, controlled  and radioactive materials. The Company
is subject to federal, state and  local laws and regulations governing the  use,
manufacture,  storage, handling and disposal of such materials and certain waste
products. Although the Company believes that its safety procedures for  handling
and  disposing of  such materials comply  with the standards  prescribed by such
laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from  these
materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of such an accident, the
Company  could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability
could have  a  material adverse  effect  on of  the  Company. See  "Business  --
Government Regulation."
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    NO  MANUFACTURING OR  MARKETING CAPACITY.   The  Company does  not generally
expect to engage directly in manufacturing or marketing of products in the  near
term,  but may elect to  do so in certain cases.  The Company does not currently
have the capacity to  manufacture or market products  or any experience in  such
activities.  If the Company elects to  perform these functions, the Company will
be required  to either  develop these  capacities, or  contract with  others  to
perform  some  or  all  of  these  tasks. The  Company  may  be  dependent  to a
significant extent  on  corporate  partners, licensees  or  other  entities  for
manufacturing  and marketing  of products.  If the  Company engages  directly in
manufacturing or  marketing, the  Company  will require  substantial  additional
funds  and personnel and  will be required to  comply with extensive regulations
applicable to such a facility. There can  be no assurance that the Company  will
be  able to develop or contract for these capacities when required in connection
with the Company's business. See "Business -- Manufacturing and Marketing."
 
    ABSENCE OF PRIOR TRADING MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.   Prior
to  this offering,  there has been  no public  market for the  Common Stock, and
there is no assurance that an active  market will develop or be sustained  after
this  offering.  The  initial  public  offering  price  will  be  determined  by
negotiation between the Company and the Representatives of the Underwriters  and
may bear no relationship to the price at which the Common Stock will trade after
completion  of this offering. See "Underwriting" for factors to be considered in
determining such offering price. The market price of the shares of Common Stock,
like that  of  the common  stock  of many  other  early-stage  biopharmaceutical
companies,  is likely  to be  highly volatile.  Factors such  as the  results of
preclinical studies and clinical trials by the Company or its competitors, other
evidence of the safety or efficacy of  product candidates of the Company or  its
competitors,  announcements  of  technological  innovations  or  new  commercial
therapeutic products by the Company or its competitors, governmental regulation,
changes in  reimbursement  policies,  healthcare  legislation,  developments  in
patent  or other proprietary rights, developments in the Company's relationships
with future collaborative partners, if any, public concern as to the safety  and
efficacy  of  drugs  developed by  the  Company, fluctuations  in  the Company's
operating results, and general market  conditions may have a significant  impact
on the market price of the Common Stock.
 
   
    FUTURE  SALES OF COMMON STOCK; REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.  Future sales of shares
of Common  Stock  by  existing  stockholders pursuant  to  Rule  144  under  the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), through the exercise
of outstanding registration rights or through the sale of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of options, warrants or otherwise, could have an  adverse
effect  on the price of the Company's Common Stock. In addition to the 3,200,000
shares of Common Stock offered hereby, approximately 3,424,290 shares of  Common
Stock will be eligible for immediate resale in the public market and, subject to
compliance  with  Rule 144  under  the Securities  Act,  approximately 2,925,714
shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale in the public market  beginning
90 days from the date of this Prospectus. An additional 855,930 shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested options and warrants will also become
eligible  for sale in the public market pursuant  to Rule 701 and Rule 144 under
the Securities  Act beginning  90 days  from the  date of  this Prospectus.  The
Securities  and Exchange  Commission has recently  proposed an  amendment to the
holding period  requirements  of  Rule  144  to  permit  resales  of  restricted
securities  after  a  one-year holding  period  rather than  a  two-year holding
period, and to permit  unrestricted resales by  non-affiliates after a  two-year
holding  period rather than  a three-year holding  period. The Underwriters have
requested that the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock and options
and warrants agree not to sell or transfer  any of their shares for a period  of
180  days from the date of this  Prospectus without the prior written consent of
Allen &  Company  Incorporated, on  behalf  of the  Underwriters.  Additionally,
beginning  one year from the date  of this Prospectus, Bristol-Myers is entitled
to certain registration rights  with respect to 874,999  shares of Common  Stock
and  warrants to purchase 444,444 shares  of Common Stock (which amounts include
333,333 shares to be purchased upon the  closing of this offering and assume  an
initial public offering price of $15.00 per share) and, beginning 13 months from
the  date of this  Prospectus, holders of  1,157,344 shares of  Common Stock and
211,315 warrants
    
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
to purchase Common Stock  will have registration rights  with respect to  shares
owned  by them. In addition, the Company intends  to file a Form S-8 to register
an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares subject to outstanding options or reserved  for
issuance  pursuant  to the  Company's stock  option  plans. See  "Description of
Capital Stock -- Registration Rights" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
   
    DILUTION.  Investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this offering will
incur  immediate  and   substantial  net   tangible  book   value  dilution   of
approximately  $10.80 per  share, or  72%, assuming  an initial  public offering
price of $15.00 per share.  This dilution will be  increased to the extent  that
holders  of outstanding options and warrants  to purchase Common Stock at prices
below  the  initial  public  offering   price  exercise  such  securities.   See
"Dilution."
    
 
   
    CONTROL OF COMPANY; POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS.  Upon the completion
of this offering and the sale of the BMS Shares by the Company, the officers and
directors  of  the  Company  will  own  or  control  approximately  26%  of  the
outstanding shares of  Common Stock  of the  Company (25%  if the  Underwriters'
over-allotment  option is exercised in full). As a result, such individuals will
generally  be  able  to  influence   significantly  the  outcome  of   corporate
transactions or other matters submitted for stockholder approval. Such influence
by  principal  stockholders could  preclude any  unsolicited acquisition  of the
Company and consequently adversely affect the market price of the Common  Stock.
In  addition, the Company's Board of Directors  is authorized to issue from time
to time, without stockholder authorization, additional shares of preferred stock
with such terms and conditions  as the Board of  Directors may determine in  its
sole  discretion. The Company  is also subject to  a Delaware statute regulating
business combinations.  Any  of these  provisions  could discourage,  hinder  or
preclude an unsolicited acquisition of the Company and could make it less likely
that  stockholders receive a  premium for their  shares as a  result of any such
attempt. See "Management," "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of  Capital
Stock."
    
 
    OUTSTANDING  OPTIONS AND WARRANTS.  The  Company has outstanding options and
warrants to  purchase an  aggregate of  2,381,688 shares  of Common  Stock at  a
weighted  average  exercise price  of  $4.92 per  share  and warrants  issued to
Bristol-Myers  to  purchase  an  additional  444,444  shares  of  Common   Stock
exercisable  at $22.50 per  share (assuming an initial  public offering price of
$15.00 per share). Holders of such  options and warrants are likely to  exercise
them  when, in  all likelihood, the  Company could obtain  additional capital on
terms more  favorable  than those  provided  by  the options  and  warrants.  In
addition,  the exercise of such options and  warrants will result in dilution to
the interests of the stockholders of the Company to the extent that the exercise
price is less than the fair market value of the Common Stock. See "Management --
Stock Options" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
   
    ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS.  The Company has never paid any cash dividends on  its
Common  Stock  and does  not intend  to  pay cash  dividends in  the foreseeable
future. The Company currently  intends to retain all  earnings, if any, for  the
development of its business.

<PAGE>
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
    The  net proceeds to  the Company from  the sale of  the 3,200,000 shares of
Common Stock offered  hereby, at  an assumed  initial public  offering price  of
$15.00  per share and  after deducting the  estimated underwriting discounts and
expenses payable by the Company,  are estimated to be approximately  $43,400,000
($50,060,000  if the Underwriters' over-allotment  option is exercised in full).
In addition, the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the BMS Shares  by
the Company will be $5,000,000.
    
 
   
    The  Company currently intends  to use approximately  $34,000,000 of the net
proceeds of  this offering  and the  sale of  the BMS  Shares for  research  and
development  activities, of  which approximately  $16,000,000 is  expected to be
allocated to  its  antiangiogenesis  program, including  funding  sponsored  and
internal  early-stage  research,  approximately $11,000,000  is  expected  to be
allocated to its  cell permeation  technology, including the  evaluation of  the
technology  for a  variety of  disease indications  and therapeutic  agents, and
approximately $7,000,000  is expected  to  be allocated  to other  research  and
development  programs,  of  which  approximately $2,000,000  is  expected  to be
allocated to  sponsored research  on  cellular immunity  (in connection  with  a
proposed  acquisition) and approximately $5,000,000  is expected to be allocated
to sponsored research or acquisitions of new technologies, businesses or product
candidates. Although  the  Company  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  business
investigates,  evaluates and discusses with  others such potential acquisitions,
except as described herein, the Company  has no agreements or arrangements  with
respect to such acquisitions. The remainder of the net proceeds of this offering
and  the sale of the BMS  Shares is expected to be  used for working capital and
general corporate purposes, a portion  of which may be  used to establish a  new
facility. However, the Company has not yet identified any potential new facility
for  lease or site  for building, and expects  to seek debt  financing to fund a
portion of such cost if it determines to build a facility.
    
 
   
    The  amounts,  timing   and  allocation  of   such  expenditures  may   vary
significantly  depending upon  numerous factors,  including the  progress of the
Company's  research  and  development  programs  (which  may  vary  as   product
candidates  are added  or abandoned),  preclinical testing  and clinical trials,
achievement  of  regulatory   milestones,  the   Company's  corporate   partners
fulfilling  their obligations  to the  Company, the  timing and  cost of seeking
regulatory approvals, the  level of resources  that the Company  devotes to  the
development   of  manufacturing,  marketing  and  sales  capabilities,  if  any,
technological advances, the status of competitors, the ability of the Company to
maintain existing  and  establish  new  collaborative  arrangements  with  other
companies  to provide  funding to  the Company  to support  these activities and
other factors.
    
 
   
    Pending such uses, the net proceeds from  this offering and the sale of  the
BMS  Shares will be temporarily invested  by the Company in short-term, interest
bearing, investment grade securities.
    
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and does  not
intend  to pay cash  dividends in the foreseeable  future. The Company currently
intends to retain all earnings, if any, for the development of its business.

                                 CAPITALIZATION
 
   
    The following  table  sets  forth  as  of March  31,  1996  (a)  the  actual
capitalization   of  the   Company  (after   giving  retroactive   effect  to  a
two-for-three reverse stock split of the  Common Stock effected in April  1996);
(b)  the pro  forma capitalization  of the  Company after  giving effect  to the
automatic conversion of  3,000,000 outstanding  shares of  Preferred Stock  into
2,000,000  shares of Common  Stock on the  date of this  Prospectus; and (c) the
capitalization as adjusted to reflect the  sale by the Company of the  3,200,000
shares  of Common  Stock offered  hereby and the  sale of  the BMS  Shares at an

                                    DILUTION
 
   
    The pro forma  net tangible book  value of  the Company at  March 31,  1996,
after giving effect to the conversion of the Preferred Stock on the date of this
Prospectus,  was $2,005,755, or approximately $0.24 per share. Net tangible book
value per share is equal to the  Company's total tangible assets less its  total
liabilities,  divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. After
giving effect  to the  sale of  the 3,200,000  shares of  Common Stock  in  this
offering  and the sale of  the BMS Shares at  an assumed initial public offering
price of $15.00 per share and  receipt of the estimated net proceeds  therefrom,
the  pro  forma  net tangible  book  value at  March  31, 1996  would  have been
$50,405,755 or $4.20 per  share. This represents an  immediate increase in  such
net  tangible book  value of  $3.96 per  share to  existing stockholders  and an
immediate dilution  in  net tangible  book  value of  $10.80  per share  to  new
investors  purchasing shares in  this offering. The  following table illustrates
this per share dilution:

    If the  Underwriters'  over-allotment option  were  exercised in  full,  the
adjusted  pro  forma  net  tangible  book  value  after  the  offering  would be
$57,105,755, resulting  in immediate  dilution to  new investors  of $10.42  per
share.
    
 
    The  following table summarizes on  a pro forma basis  at March 31, 1996 the
difference between  the number  of shares  of Common  Stock purchased  from  the
Company,  the total consideration paid  and the average price  per share paid by

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
    Since its inception in September 1991, the Company has devoted substantially
all  of  its efforts  and resources  to sponsoring  and conducting  research and
development on its own behalf and through collaborations with corporate partners
and academic research and clinical institutions, and establishing its facilities
and hiring personnel. Prior to 1994, the primary focus of the Company's research
and development efforts and  expenditures was the  development of vaccines.  The
Company  has  substantially reduced  its  vaccine related  development activity,
reflecting in part its desire to prioritize its limited financial resources  and
the   perceived   greater   proprietary   and   commercial   potential   of  its
antiangiogenesis and blood cell permeation technology programs.
 
   
    With the exception of license fees and research and development funding from
Bristol-Myers and certain  research grants,  the Company has  not generated  any
revenue  from operations. For the  period from inception to  March 31, 1996, the
Company incurred a cumulative net loss of approximately $22,162,000 and  expects
to  incur additional  operating losses for  the foreseeable  future. In December
1995, the  Company entered  into the  Bristol-Myers Collaboration  and,  through
March  31, 1996, had received $5,700,000 in license and research and development
fees and expense reimbursements and  a $6,500,000 equity investment pursuant  to
this  alliance. The Company  expects that its  revenue sources for  at least the
next several years will be limited  to research grants and future  collaboration
payments from Bristol-Myers and from other collaborators under arrangements that
may  be entered into in the future. The  timing and amounts of such revenues, if
any, will likely fluctuate sharply and depend upon the achievement of  specified
milestones,  and results of  operations for any  period may be  unrelated to the
results of operations for any other period. See "Business -- Collaborations  and
License Agreements."
    
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
   
    THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996
    
 
   
    Revenues  under  collaborative  research  and  development  agreements  were
$1,092,500 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to no  revenues
for  the  three months  ended  March 31,  1995.  The collaborative  research and
development fees  relate to  the  amortization over  five  years of  a  one-time
payment  of  $2,500,000  and the  amortization  over six  months  of semi-annual
payments of $1,835,000 under the  Bristol-Myers Collaboration. The license  fees
represent  the amortization over five years of a one-time $1,000,000 license fee
under the Bristol-Myers Collaboration, a portion of which was paid to Children's
Hospital. Three month's amortization of these  amounts is included in the  three
month  period  ended  March 31,  1996,  as the  Bristol-Myers  Collaboration was
entered into in December 1995.
    
 
   
    Research and  development  expenses  increased  by  29%  from  approximately
$1,597,000  in the three months ended March 31, 1995 to approximately $2,063,000
in the three months ended March 31, 1996. Research and development  expenditures
related  to sponsored research payments increased by 53% from $1,052,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995  to $1,605,000 in the corresponding period  in
1996,  reflecting  increased efforts  in  the Company's  sponsored  research and
product development programs  related to  its angiogenesis  and cell  permeation
technologies.
    
 
   
    General  and administrative  expenses increased by  69% in  the three months
ended March 31, 1996  to approximately $771,000  from approximately $455,000  in
the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1995,  reflecting  the  Company's expanded
operations and a  one-time charge  of $233,000  related to  the future  payments
under  a termination agreement with Steve  Gorlin, a founder and former director
of the Company. Mr. Gorlin ceased  providing services to the Company during  the
three  months ended March 31, 1996. See "Certain Transactions." Interest expense
increased from zero in the three
    
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
   
months ended March 31, 1995 to $10,000 in the three months ended March 31,  1996
as a result of the completion, subsequent to March 31, 1995, of a sale-leaseback
agreement.  Interest income increased to $76,000 in the three months ended March
31, 1996 from $6,000  in the corresponding  period in 1995, as  a result of  the
additional   capital  available  to  invest   following  the  execution  of  the
Bristol-Myers Collaboration.
    
 
    YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995
 
   
    Revenues  under  collaborative  research  and  development  agreements  were
approximately  $348,000 and license fees were  approximately $17,000 in the year
ended December 31, 1995. The collaborative research and development fees  relate
to  the amortization over five years of a one-time payment of $2,500,000 and the
amortization over six months of a  semi-annual payments of $1,835,000 under  the
Bristol-Myers  Collaboration. The  license fees represent  the amortization over
five years  of  a  one-time  $1,000,000  license  fee  under  the  Bristol-Myers
Collaboration, a portion of which was paid to Children's Hospital. Approximately
one   month's  amortization  of  these  amounts  is  included  in  1995  as  the
Bristol-Myers Collaboration was entered into  in December 1995. The Company  had
no collaboration revenues in 1993 or 1994. In addition, revenues during 1994 and
1995  included grant revenues from World  Health Organization and SBIR grants of
$90,000 and $347,000, respectively.
    
 
    Research and  development  expenses  decreased  by  23%  from  approximately
$4,773,000  in 1993 to $3,674,000 in  1994, reflecting the reduction in expenses
relating to  the  Company's  decreased  emphasis  on  vaccine  development,  and
increased by 62% to approximately $5,940,000 in 1995, due primarily to increased
efforts in the Company's internal and sponsored research and product development
programs related to its antiangiogenesis and blood cell permeation technologies.
Research  and development  expenditures included sponsored  research payments of
approximately $3,054,000, $1,369,000  and $2,570,000 and  internal research  and
development  expenses of approximately $1,719,000,  $2,305,000 and $3,370,000 in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant in 1993 and
1994 and increased by  59% in 1995  to $2,459,000 from $1,550,000  in 1994 as  a
result  of  increases  in  the  number  of  Company  personnel.  Interest income
decreased from $86,000 in 1993  to $19,000 in 1994  and increased to $45,000  in
1995,  reflecting the  lower average cash  balance during  1994, which increased
during 1995.  During 1995,  the Company  had interest  expense of  approximately
$66,000 as a result of capital lease obligations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    From  inception through March 31, 1996,  the Company financed its operations
from (i)  the net  proceeds of  private placements  of equity  securities  which
raised  approximately $18,000,000,  (ii) payments  from Bristol-Myers, including
$9,700,000 received  in  December  1995  (of  which  $6,500,000  was  an  equity
investment) and $2,500,000 received in March 1996, (iii) various grants from the
World Health Organization and Small Business Innovation Research ("SBIR") grants
totalling  approximately $437,000  and (iv)  proceeds of  approximately $654,000
under capital leases.
 
    Bristol-Myers is obligated  to make additional  semi-annual payments to  the
Company  of  $1,835,000 in  each  of June  and  December through  June  2000 and
$365,000 in December 1996  as well as additional  payments in the event  certain
mostly   late-stage  regulatory  milestones   are  achieved.  Bristol-Myers  may
terminate the collaboration agreement and return the licensed technology to  the
Company  at any time  upon six months' notice,  in which event  it would have no
further funding obligation to the  Company. See "Business -- Collaborations  and
License Agreements."
 
   
    At  March  31,  1996,  the  Company  had  working  capital  of approximately
$3,727,000. The Company's cash resources have been used to finance research  and
development,  including  sponsored  research,  capital  expenditures,  including
leasehold improvements to  the Company's  laboratory facility,  and general  and
administrative  expenses. Over  the next several  years, the  Company expects to
    
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
incur substantial  additional research  and development  costs, including  costs
related  to  early-stage  research  in areas  not  reimbursed  by Bristol-Myers,
preclinical and clinical  trials, increased administrative  expenses to  support
its  research and development operations  and increased capital expenditures for
pilot manufacturing capacity, various equipment needs and facility improvements.
 
   
    At March 31, 1996, the Company was a party to sponsored research  agreements
requiring  it  to fund  an aggregate  of  approximately $6,492,000  through 1999
(including $6,000,000 to Children's  Hospital) and license agreements  requiring
milestone  payments of up to $2,360,000  and additional payments upon attainment
of regulatory  milestones.  In addition,  the  Company has  recently  agreed  to
preliminary  terms regarding a proposed  transaction that, if consummated, would
require the  Company  to  fund  additional  sponsored  research  and  an  equity
investment  in the approximate aggregate amount  of $1,850,000 over the next two
years. The Company  is also a  party to an  office lease expiring  in 2003  with
total  future  minimum lease  payments of  $1,620,300.  See Note  4 of  Notes to
Financial Statements. See "Business -- Collaborations and License Agreements."
    
 
   
    At  December  31,  1995,  the  Company  had  available  net  operating  loss
carryforwards of $17,100,000 to offset any future taxable income for federal tax
purposes.  The utilization  of the  loss carryforwards  to reduce  future income
taxes will depend on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income
prior  to  the  expiration  of   the  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.   The
carryforwards  begin to expire in the year  2006. However, the Tax Reform Act of
1986 limits  the  maximum  annual use  of  net  operating loss  and  tax  credit
carryforwards  in certain situations where changes  occur in the stock ownership
of a corporation. For  financial reporting purposes,  a valuation allowance  has
been  recognized  to  reduce  the  net  deferred  tax  assets  to  zero  due  to
uncertainties with respect to the  Company's ability to generate taxable  income
in  the future sufficient to realize the  benefit of deferred income tax assets.
See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements.
    
 
   
    The Company believes that the net  proceeds from this offering and from  the
sale  of the BMS Shares by the Company, together with its existing resources and
committed funding from  Bristol-Myers, will  be sufficient to  meet its  capital
needs  for  approximately 24  months,  although there  can  be no  assurance the
Company will  not require  additional funds  prior to  such date.  However,  the
Company's  working  capital  requirements  will  depend  upon  numerous factors,
including the progress of the Company's research and development programs (which
may vary as product candidates are added or abandoned), preclinical testing  and
clinical  trials, achievement of regulatory  milestones, the Company's corporate
partners fulfilling their  obligations to the  Company, the timing  and cost  of
seeking regulatory approvals, the level of resources that the Company devotes to
the  development  of manufacturing,  marketing and  sales capabilities,  if any,
technological advances, the status of competitors, the ability of the Company to
maintain existing  and  establish  new  collaborative  arrangements  with  other
companies  to provide  funding to  the Company  to support  these activities and
other factors.  In any  event, the  Company will  require substantial  funds  in
addition  to  the  proceeds of  this  offering  to develop  any  of  its product
candidates and otherwise  to meet its  business objectives. The  Company has  no
commitments  to obtain any additional  funds and there can  be no assurance such
funds will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
    EntreMed  is  engaged   primarily  in  the   research  and  development   of
biopharmaceutical  products that address the role  of blood and blood vessels in
the prevention and treatment  of a broad range  of diseases. The Company's  core
technologies  include (i) an antiangiogenesis program focused on the development
of proprietary products  intended to inhibit  the abnormal growth  of new  blood
vessels  associated with cancer and certain causes of blindness and (ii) a blood
cell permeation device  designed to enhance  the ability of  red blood cells  to
deliver  oxygen to  organs and  tissues and  which may  also be  used to deliver
drugs, genes  or  other therapeutic  agents  that otherwise  would  not  readily
diffuse through blood cell membranes.
 
    Angiogenesis  is  the fundamental  process by  which  new blood  vessels are
formed  and  primarily  occurs  during  the  first  three  months  of  embryonic
development.  Except  for wound  healing and  certain reproductive  processes in
women, angiogenesis  is otherwise  generally associated  with several  diseases,
including  cancer and  certain causes  of blindness.  The Company  believes that
antiangiogenic products, which inhibit the abnormal growth of blood vessels, may
have significant advantages over traditional  therapies for these diseases.  The
Company  is  currently  developing  several  angiogenesis  inhibitors, including
thalidomide and its chemical analogs and Angiostatin-TM-, a protein produced  by
the  body.  The Company  is also  applying its  expertise in  the role  of blood
function to  the development  of  a blood  cell  permeation device  designed  to
enhance the oxygen releasing capabilities of red blood cells. Organs and tissues
in  the body require oxygen to function  properly and oxygen deficiency may lead
to tissue damage or death.
 
   
    In  December   1995,   the   Company  and   Bristol-Myers   Squibb   Company
("Bristol-Myers")    entered   into   a    collaboration   (the   "Bristol-Myers
Collaboration")  to   develop   and   commercialize   certain   antiangiogenesis
therapeutics.  This  collaboration provides  for  Bristol-Myers to  fund Company
research, provide  milestone  payments  to  the  Company  and  pay  the  Company
royalties  on net  sales of any  products developed under  the collaboration. In
addition, Bristol-Myers made a $6,500,000  equity investment in the Company  and
agreed  to make an  additional $5,000,000 equity investment  upon the closing of
this offering. In return, the Company granted Bristol-Myers exclusive  worldwide
rights  to antiangiogenic  applications of thalidomide,  thalidomide analogs and
Angiostatin-TM- protein.
    
 
    The Company's  product  candidates  have been  developed  primarily  through
sponsored  research  collaborations  and  licensing  agreements.  The  principal
antiangiogenesis therapeutics currently  under development by  the Company  were
licensed  from  Children's  Hospital  at  Harvard  Medical  School  ("Children's
Hospital") where the  Company sponsors research  under the direction  of Dr.  M.
Judah  Folkman. The flow electroporation technology  used in the cell permeation
device was licensed from the Center  for Blood Research Laboratories at  Harvard
Medical School ("CBRL"). The Company's sponsored research programs are augmented
by  its internal  capabilities in  the fields  of the  vasculature system, blood
vessel growth and blood function.
 
    To date, the Company and its collaborators have:
 
    -Initiated Phase II clinical trials  to evaluate the antiangiogenic  effects
     of  thalidomide in  inhibiting the  progression of  breast cancer, prostate
     cancer and Kaposi's sarcoma.
 
    -Initiated Phase II clinical trials  to evaluate the antiangiogenic  effects
     of  thalidomide  in  inhibiting  the  progression  of  age-related  macular
     degeneration, a major cause of blindness.
 
    -Isolated,  identified,  sequenced,   cloned  and  recombinantly   expressed
     Angiostatin-TM-  protein. In  preclinical studies,  Angiostatin-TM- protein
     appeared to inhibit  vascularization and growth  of primary and  metastatic
     tumors.
 
    -Constructed a prototype device designed to introduce inositol hexaphosphate
     ("IHP")  molecules into red blood cells,  which may enhance the delivery of
     oxygen to organs and tissues in the body.

CORPORATE STRATEGY
 
    The Company's strategy is to accelerate development of its  antiangiogenesis
and  cell permeation technologies as well  as other promising technologies which
the Company perceives to have  clinical and commercial potential. The  principal
elements  of the Company's  strategy are (i)  to focus its  resources on current
core technologies, (ii) to broaden its product and technology portfolio  through
sponsored   research  collaborations  with   academic  institutions,  government
organizations and private enterprises, (iii) to augment product development with
its in-house  research and  development capabilities  and (iv)  to leverage  its
resources  through corporate partnerships  in order to minimize  the cost to the
Company of  late-stage  clinical  trials and  to  accelerate  effective  product
commercialization.
 
ANGIOGENESIS
 
    OVERVIEW
 
    Within  the human body, a network  of arteries, capillaries and veins, known
as the vasculature, functions to transport blood throughout the body. The  basic
network  of  the vasculature  is developed  through angiogenesis,  a fundamental
process by which new blood vessels are formed. The primary angiogenic period  in
humans  takes  place during  the first  three  months of  embryonic development.
During this period, cytokines and growth factors, which are normally suppressed,
are activated to  stimulate the growth  of new blood  vessels. Once the  general
network  of  the blood  vessels is  complete,  these angiogenic  stimulators are
inhibited and blood vessels grow longer  and larger in diameter until  adulthood
through  a different process termed vasculogenesis. Although angiogenesis occurs
in embryonic development, wound healing and in certain reproductive processes in
women, angiogenesis  is otherwise  generally associated  with several  diseases,
including  cancer  and diabetic  retinopathy and  macular degeneration,  both of
which are major causes of blindness.
 
    ANGIOGENESIS AND CANCER
 
    The term  cancer  includes many  different  types of  uncontrolled  cellular
growth. Clusters of cancer cells, referred to as tumors, may destroy surrounding
organs,  impair  physiological function  and often  lead to  death. In  order to
survive, cancer cells require oxygen and  nutrients which they receive from  the
body's blood supply. In order to access this blood supply, cancer cells initiate
a  biochemical mechanism that stimulates  angiogenesis, which provides the blood
supply that nourishes the  tumor. As cancer cells  grow and metastasize  (spread
from  primary sites  to secondary  sites) they  require continuous angiogenesis.
Antiangiogenic substances are intended  to inhibit the  growth of blood  vessels
and  may  be effective  in  treating certain  cancers,  with fewer  adverse side
effects than traditional therapies. Cancer is the second leading cause of  death
in  the United States and it is estimated that approximately 1,360,000 new cases
of cancer will be diagnosed in 1996.
 
    Existing  cancer   treatments  include   surgery,  radiation   therapy   and
chemotherapy.  Surgery requires  invasive procedures to  remove cancerous cells.
Often, cancer tumors  located in sites  that are difficult  to access or  tumors
that  have metastasized to vital organs  cannot be treated surgically. Radiation
therapy produces ionized molecules within the body that attack cancer cells  but
which may also damage healthy cells. Chemotherapy involves the administration of
toxic  substances designed to kill cancer cells and usually produces severe side
effects. In addition, resistance to  chemotherapy occurs over time. The  Company
believes  that its antiangiogenesis technologies may have significant advantages
over traditional  cancer  therapies,  including reduced  toxicity,  and  may  be
administered in conjunction with such other therapies.
 
    ANGIOGENESIS AND BLINDNESS
 
    Angiogenesis  within the eye, a condition often associated with diabetes and
age-related macular  degeneration,  is  a  major  cause  of  blindness.  Macular
degeneration, which is age-related, and diabetic retinopathy, a secondary effect
of  diabetes, both  involve the formation  of new  blood vessels in  front of or
behind the retina. The blood  vessels that grow in  front of the retina  occlude
vision  and the blood  vessels that grow  behind the retina  often hemorrhage or
cause the detachment of the retina, in  each case resulting in blindness. It  is
estimated    that   approximately    8,000,000   people    experience   diabetic

retinopathy, and that  25,000 new cases  of blindness develop  each year. It  is
estimated that approximately 13,000,000 people suffer from macular degeneration,
and  that 1,700,000  develop vision  impairment, of  which 100,000  new cases of
blindness develop each year. Current treatments for diabetic retinopathy and, to
a more limited extent, macular degeneration involve laser-based photocoagulation
treatments, which often cause  unintended damage to  the retina and  surrounding
cells.
 
    ANGIOGENESIS AND OTHER DISEASE INDICATIONS
 
    A  variety of other disease indications may be associated with angiogenesis,
including  rheumatoid  arthritis,   cardiovascular  disease   (atherosclerosis),
psoriasis  and Crohn's disease.  The Company believes  that its antiangiogenesis
technologies may be applicable to these other diseases. To date, the Company has
not pursued research for applications of antiangiogenesis to diseases outside of
cancer or macular degeneration. There can be no assurance that the Company  will
pursue  research outside these indications,  that product candidates will result
from any research undertaken or that  any products for these diseases will  ever
be commercialized.
 
ENTREMED'S ANTIANGIOGENESIS PROGRAM
 
    The   Company  believes  that   certain  drugs  or   proteins  that  exhibit
antiangiogenic effects may be used as effective, safe therapeutics for  diseases
involving angiogenesis. The Company currently focuses on angiogenesis inhibition
as  a  treatment  for  cancer, macular  degeneration  and  diabetic retinopathy.
Product candidates under development include: (i) thalidomide and several of its
chemical  analogs   which  focus   the  therapeutic   activity  of   thalidomide
specifically   on  angiogenesis  and  (ii)   Angiostatin-TM-  protein,  a  newly
discovered angiogenesis inhibitor naturally produced by the body. The  Company's
evaluation   of  thalidomide   and  its   chemical  analogs   as  antiangiogenic
therapeutics will also  enable the  Company to generate  clinical and  marketing
data  on the general utility of angiogenesis  inhibitors. These data can then be
applied in  the  development  of  Angiostatin-TM-  protein,  which  the  Company
believes may have greater efficacy as an antiangiogenic therapeutic. The Company
believes  that, if successfully developed, these products could be used alone or
in combination with each other to treat certain angiogenic diseases.
 
    PRODUCT CANDIDATES
 
    ORAL ANTIANGIOGENESIS DRUG.   The Company  is evaluating the  antiangiogenic
properties  of the drug thalidomide and its chemical analogs. Thalidomide, which
was widely prescribed as a sedative in Europe in the late 1950s and early 1960s,
is believed  to  have caused  severe  birth  defects in  children.  The  Company
believes  that thalidomide may have affected  fetal development and caused birth
defects by blocking  new blood  vessel growth,  a characteristic  that may  make
thalidomide  useful in the prevention and  treatment of angiogenic disorders. In
preclinical animal  studies conducted  at Children's  Hospital, thalidomide  has
been  shown to block angiogenesis. Because  of the negative precedent associated
with thalidomide, as  well as patent  and competitive issues,  the Company  also
intends  to screen for  and conduct research on  chemical analogs of thalidomide
having substantially similar mechanisms of  action as thalidomide but which  may
focus  the therapeutic activity  of this drug  specifically on angiogenesis. The
Company proposes to develop thalidomide or  a thalidomide analog as a  long-term
patient  administered  oral therapeutic  to inhibit  the progression  of certain
angiogenic diseases, including cancer and certain causes of blindness.
 
    The Company,  Bristol-Myers  and  the  National  Cancer  Institute  recently
initiated  Phase II  clinical trials to  evaluate the  antiangiogenic effects of
thalidomide in inhibiting the progression of breast cancer, prostate cancer  and
Kaposi's  sarcoma. The Company  and its collaborators  intend to conduct similar
studies regarding brain  cancer in the  near future. Based  on results of  these
studies,  as well as development activities relating to thalidomide analogs, the
Company will  determine,  together with  Bristol-Myers,  whether to  pursue  the
commercialization  of thalidomide by  expanding these trials  or by initiating a
Phase III trial,  or to develop  an analog  of thalidomide, or  both. In  animal
studies  performed at Children's Hospital, thalidomide  was shown to inhibit the
abnormal formation of blood vessels in the eye, a major cause of blindness.  The
Company is currently conducting Phase II clinical
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
trials  at the Scheie Eye Institute at  the University of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine  and  with  the  Retina   Associates  of  Cleveland  to  evaluate   the
antiangiogenic  effects of thalidomide  in blindness due  to age-related macular
degeneration.
 
    Although not approved for  sale in the United  States, thalidomide has  been
used  as an  investigational agent  to treat  a limited  number of  patients for
leprosy and other diseases and is being developed by other companies for various
disease indications. See "-- Government Regulation."
 
    ANGIOSTATIN-TM- PROTEIN.  The Company is developing Angiostatin-TM-  protein
as a potential long-term cancer therapeutic to prevent metastatic disease and as
a  therapy  for primary  tumors. Metastatic  tumor growth  is attributed  to the
implantation and growth of tumor cells at secondary sites. These tumor cells are
released by a primary  tumor, or are released  into circulation during  surgical
removal  of the  primary tumor.  Although surgeons  generally remove significant
amounts of healthy tissue surrounding the tumor, in many cases "seed cells" have
already escaped the primary tumor and are circulated through the body until they
become embedded elsewhere.  It has been  observed that in  certain cases,  these
seed  cells, or metastases, do not vascularize  and grow while the primary tumor
is in place. However, after the  primary tumor is removed, secondary  metastatic
tumors often grow rapidly.
 
    In Company-sponsored research at Children's Hospital, a substance associated
with  primary tumors was identified which appears to prevent vascularization and
growth of metastatic tumors. Based upon such research, the Company believes that
the primary tumor secretes an enzyme  that cleaves plasminogen, a known  protein
associated with blood clotting, into a smaller, previously undiscovered protein.
The  Children's Hospital  team isolated  and identified  the protein,  which the
Company named Angiostatin-TM- protein, and the Company has cloned and  expressed
the  gene  that  codes  for  Angiostatin-TM-  protein.  In  preclinical studies,
including the  murine  Lewis  Lung  Carcinoma  metastatic  model,  it  has  been
demonstrated  that  Angiostatin-TM- protein  inhibits  the growth  of metastatic
tumors derived  from  carcinomas  and  sarcomas.  In  addition,  Angiostatin-TM-
protein  was shown to reduce the size  of primary murine carcinomas and sarcomas
as well as  human prostate, breast  and colon cancers  grown in  immunodeficient
mice.   The  Company  and  Bristol-Myers   are  addressing  additional  required
preclinical studies,  while  manufacturing Angiostatin-TM-  protein  in  limited
quantities.
 
    The  Company  currently  anticipates  that  Angiostatin-TM-  protein,  as an
endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, would be  administered as an adjunct  therapy
after   diagnosis   and  sustained   thereafter.   The  Company   believes  that
Angiostatin-TM-protein may  also be  effective  in inhibiting  other  angiogenic
diseases  such as  diabetic retinopathy  and macular  degeneration, although the
Company has not conducted any research to  date in these areas. The Company  has
obtained  an  exclusive license  from  Children's Hospital  to  this technology,
including rights to  patent applications  filed on  Angiostatin-TM- protein  and
related technology.
 
    OTHER ANTIANGIOGENESIS RESEARCH
 
    The Company maintains an internal discovery and development program and also
continues to sponsor and support research at Children's Hospital on angiogenesis
technologies with the aim of developing antiangiogenesis products in addition to
Angiostatin-TM- protein, thalidomide and thalidomide analogs. To the extent that
additional  antiangiogenesis therapeutics  are developed  at Children's Hospital
and licensed  by the  Company, Bristol-Myers  has a  right of  first refusal  to
sublicense  from  the  Company  such technologies.  See  "--  Collaborations and
License Agreements." The Company's  research in these  areas is currently  early
stage,  although  the Company  and Children's  Hospital have  identified several
endogenous proteins and compounds  with angiogenic or antiangiogenic  properties
that  may be candidates  for further development.  The Company intends  to use a
portion of  the proceeds  of  this offering  to  fund early-stage  internal  and
sponsored research on angiogenesis technologies. See "Use of Proceeds."

ENTREMED'S CELL PERMEATION TECHNOLOGY
 
    OVERVIEW
 
    The  Company is applying its expertise in  the role of blood function to the
development of a  cell permeation  technology that may  facilitate the  delivery
into  blood cells  of drugs,  genes or  other therapeutic  agents that otherwise
would not readily diffuse  through the cell membrane.  To date, the Company  has
focused  its  cell  permeation research  on  a  method of  enhancing  the oxygen
delivery capabilities of blood.
 
    Human blood is comprised  of four components: red  blood cells, white  blood
cells,  plasma  and platelets.  The principal  functions of  human blood  are to
transport oxygen  and  nutrients to  tissues,  carry waste  products  away  from
tissues  and  defend  the  body against  infection.  Hemoglobin,  a protein-iron
molecule contained within red  blood cells, is  responsible for carrying  oxygen
from  the lungs to tissues  throughout the body. Tissues  and organs in the body
require oxygen to function  properly, and oxygen deficiency  may lead to  tissue
damage or death. In human blood, each hemoglobin molecule carries four molecules
of  oxygen, but releases  only one. It  has been proposed  that IHP, a naturally
occurring plant  chemical,  may enhance  the  oxygen releasing  capabilities  of
hemoglobin  by allowing the  release of three oxygen  molecules. The theory that
IHP could enhance the oxygen releasing capacity of hemoglobin has been  proposed
for several years. Scientists have observed that a molecule similar to IHP found
in  the  hemoglobin  of birds  is  more  efficient at  releasing  oxygen  than a
corresponding molecule  (2,3  diphosphoglycerate, or  2,3  DPG) found  in  human
hemoglobin.  However, IHP does not readily  diffuse through the cell membrane of
human red blood cells  and previous techniques used  to introduce IHP into  such
red  blood  cells have  experienced significant  problems  and have  resulted in
substantial cell damage.
 
    The Company's research  has led  to the  development of  a prototype  device
designed  to introduce IHP into red blood cells without significant cell damage.
The Company intends to develop this application as a therapeutic in such chronic
and acute diseases as  angina, congestive heart  failure, heart attacks,  stroke
and  other diseases  involving inadequate circulation  or respiratory functions.
Existing methods of treatment for  these diseases, including surgical  remedies,
drug  therapies  and non-surgical  devices, treat  such  diseases by  seeking to
increase blood  flow,  rather  than  increasing  the  blood's  oxygen  releasing
capacity.  In addition, unlike blood that is  stored in blood banks, which loses
its capacity to  deliver oxygen  for approximately 12  to 24  hours following  a
transfusion,  blood treated with  IHP may be  able to release  oxygen to tissues
more rapidly  following  transfusion. The  Company  intends to  investigate  the
application of IHP-treated blood for storage in blood banks. Because IHP-treated
blood may release more oxygen to tissues than untreated human blood, it may also
be  possible that  a smaller  amount of IHP-treated  blood can  be transfused to
obtain equivalent tissue oxygenation.
 
    With the exception of  IHP-treated blood, the Company  has not yet  explored
any  other applications of its cell permeation technology. Potential therapeutic
candidates will be selected based on an analysis of various disease  indications
and  related  market  potential,  the  likely  time  and  expense  required  for
development and adaptation of the  core technology for the specific  application
and  the interest of potential  strategic partners. Potential product candidates
may  be  reformulations  of  existing  compounds  approved  by  the  FDA   where
enhancement  of  delivery  through  blood cell  membranes  is  believed  to have
increased clinical value compared  to existing methods.  The Company intends  to
use  a  portion  of  the  proceeds of  this  offering  to  investigate potential
applications of this technology. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    DEVICE FOR OXYGEN ENHANCED BLOOD DELIVERY
 
    The Company has  constructed a  prototype device designed  to introduce  IHP
molecules  into red  blood cells,  which may enhance  the delivery  of oxygen to
tissues and organs. The device permits red blood cells drawn from patients to be
separated from plasma and treated with IHP in a disposable flow  electroporation
chamber. The flow electroporation chamber combines the separated red blood cells
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
with  IHP and, through an electrical charge, renders the red blood cell membrane
permeable, permitting IHP  to pass through  the cell membrane  and combine  with
hemoglobin. IHP-treated blood is then ready for infusion into the patient or for
storage for later infusion.
 
    The  Company is sponsoring contract  research and development on IHP-treated
blood. An initial prototype flow electroporation device has been constructed and
the accompanying reagents  have been developed,  although design activities  are
ongoing  and there can be no assurance  that a clinically acceptable device will
be completed. Following  completion of  a clinically  acceptable prototype,  the
Company   intends  to   conduct  preclinical  toxicology   studies  required  to
demonstrate the safety and efficacy of IHP-treated red blood cells in  enhancing
the delivery of oxygen to tissues in relevant disease states.
 
    The  Company's flow electroporation technology is based on Company sponsored
research conducted  at the  CBRL.  In November  1992,  the Company  obtained  an
exclusive worldwide license to this technology from the CBRL and a United States
patent  application for the device and method for introducing IHP into red blood
cells was filed in March 1993.  Device and disposable component engineering  and
development  has been and continues to  be conducted by a contract manufacturer,
which is also expected to provide pilot manufacturing capabilities.
 
    The Company is  in discussions with  several major pharmaceutical  companies
and  is seeking to enter into collaborative arrangements with corporate partners
to develop and commercialize the Company's cell permeation technology, which may
cover specific product candidates or disease indications. However, there can  be
no  assurance that any  such agreements will  be entered into  with any of these
companies or any potential partner  or that the terms  of any agreement will  be
favorable to the Company. See "-- Manufacturing and Marketing."
 
COLLABORATIONS AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS
 
    GENERAL.   The Company  intends to continue  to develop in-licensed products
and sponsored research programs and  to enter into collaborations and  licensing
agreements  with corporate  partners for product  development, manufacturing and
marketing. The  Company  believes  that  it will  be  necessary  to  enter  into
collaborative  arrangements  with  other  companies in  the  future  to develop,
commercialize, manufacture and market its cell permeation technology, as well as
any additional products or technologies it may acquire or develop.
 
    BRISTOL-MYERS COLLABORATION.  In December 1995, the Company entered into the
Bristol-Myers Collaboration  for  the development  of  certain  antiangiogenesis
products.  The  Bristol-Myers Collaboration  provides for  a five  year research
program, the grant  to Bristol-Myers of  an exclusive license  to the  Company's
thalidomide, thalidomide analogs and Angiostatin-TM- protein technologies and an
equity investment in the Company by Bristol-Myers.
 
    During  the  five year  research  term, the  Company  has agreed  to conduct
research and  Bristol-Myers  has  agreed  to support  and  fund  such  research.
Bristol-Myers   has  agreed  to  provide  funding  of  $18,350,000,  payable  in
semi-annual payments of $1,835,000. In addition, Bristol-Myers has agreed to pay
an additional $730,000 to reimburse the Company for ongoing thalidomide clinical
studies, one-half  of  which has  been  paid and  the  remainder is  payable  in
December  1996. Bristol-Myers  also paid  to the  Company $1,000,000  in license
fees, a portion  of which  was paid to  Children's Hospital,  and $2,500,000  in
consideration of know-how and research and development performed by the Company.
 
    The  Company  granted Bristol-Myers  an exclusive  worldwide royalty-bearing
license to  make,  use and  sell  products that  are  based upon  the  Company's
Angiostatin-TM-   protein,  thalidomide  and  thalidomide  analog  technologies.
Bristol-Myers has  a  right  to  sublicense, and  has  undertaken  to  secure  a
sublicense   to  develop   thalidomide-related  products   for  ophthalmological
indications, unless Bristol-Myers reasonably believes that the dosage or  method
of   administration  will  not  be   significantly  different  from  oncological
indications. Any  failure  or  delay  by Bristol-Myers  to  enter  into  such  a
sublicense  may substantially  limit or  preclude the  commercial development of
these applications.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
Bristol-Myers also received a five year  right of first refusal with respect  to
the development of any technology licensed or to be licensed by the Company from
Children's Hospital in the field of antiangiogenic therapeutics.
 
    The  Bristol-Myers Collaboration also provides  for royalties to the Company
based on the net sales price of products sold by Bristol-Myers. With respect  to
any  product that is derived from  Angiostatin-TM- protein, the royalty shall be
15% of  net  sales,  subject to  a  reduction  to  no less  than  10%  based  on
manufacturing  costs. With respect to any  product derived from thalidomide, the
royalty shall be 8% and, with respect to thalidomide analogs, the royalty  shall
range  from 8% to 12.5%  based on sales volume. In  the case of thalidomide, the
royalties shall be subject to reduction based on competitive factors.
 
    In addition, the Company may be entitled to receive additional payments  for
each  product  category  based upon  the  achievement of  defined  and primarily
late-stage clinical development  and regulatory filing  milestones. While  there
can  be no  assurance that  these milestones  will be  reached, these additional
payments could total $32,000,000. Up to $9,000,000 of the milestone payments for
products related to thalidomide and thalidomide analogs and up to $4,000,000  of
the   milestones  for  products  related  to  Angiostatin-TM-  protein  will  be
creditable against any royalties that may become payable by Bristol-Myers to the
Company, although the cumulative  amount of credits in  any year may not  exceed
50%  of the aggregate royalties otherwise  payable. The Company retained certain
co-promotion rights if Bristol-Myers elects to seek a co-promotion partner  with
respect  to  any  products  covered  by  the  collaboration.  The  Bristol-Myers
Collaboration may be terminated by Bristol-Myers for any reason upon six  months
notice without any further liability for future payments.
 
   
    Upon  execution of the  Bristol-Myers Collaboration, Bristol-Myers purchased
541,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock for $12.00 per share and agreed  to
purchase  an  additional  $5,000,000 of  Common  Stock  at the  closing  of this
offering in a private placement at the initial public offering price per  share.
The  Company also  issued to Bristol-Myers  a warrant,  exercisable for one-year
from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to $10,000,000 of Common  Stock
at  an exercise  price per share  equal to  150% of the  initial public offering
price per share. The Company  has granted to Bristol-Myers certain  registration
rights with respect to all of these shares. See "Description of Capital Stock --
Registration Rights."
    
 
    ACADEMIC  COLLABORATIONS.  In addition to its in-house research program, the
Company collaborates with several academic  institutions to support research  in
areas   of  the  Company's  product  development  interests.  Usually,  research
supported at  outside academic  institutions is  performed in  conjunction  with
additional  in-house  research.  Often,  the  faculty  members  responsible  for
supervision  of  the  research  performed  at  the  academic  institution   will
participate further as consultants to the Company's in-house effort.
 
    Typically  under these arrangements, the Company agrees to fund the research
it has chosen to support with a  specified budget over a specified time  period,
usually  one to three years. In return, the Company usually obtains an exclusive
license, with the right to grant  sublicenses, and the right to further  develop
and  market products  that arise  out of  the technology  being supported. Under
several of these licenses, the Company is required to meet specified  milestones
or  diligence requirements in order to  retain its license of such technologies.
There can be  no assurance that  the Company will  satisfy these milestones  and
diligence  requirements  and be  able to  retain such  licenses. In  addition to
providing research support, the Company usually is required to pay royalties  to
the  academic institution on  sales, if any, of  any licensed products resulting
from such research. The  Company in most instances  files and prosecutes  patent
applications on behalf of the institutions.
    The Company's primary academic collaboration is with Children's Hospital. In
September  1993, the  Company entered into  a sponsored  research agreement with
Children's Hospital to support research conducted under the direction of Dr.  M.
Judah  Folkman on the role of angiogenesis in pathological conditions. Under the
agreement, as amended in  August 1995, the Company  agreed to pay to  Children's
Hospital   $11,000,000,  of  which  $5,000,000  was  paid  through  April  1996,
$1,000,000
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
is due on October 1, 1996 and the remainder is due in equal semi-annual payments
of $1,000,000  until April  1,  1999. The  Company  also granted  to  Children's
Hospital  options to acquire 83,334 shares of  Common Stock at an exercise price
of $6.00  per  share and  additional  options to  acquire  50,000 shares  at  an
exercise  price of $6.375 per share. The Company obtained an exclusive option to
negotiate an  exclusive, worldwide,  royalty-bearing license  to any  technology
resulting  from  the research  at Children's  Hospital in  areas covered  by the
agreement. The Company received a right to sublicense the licensed technologies,
although the  Company agreed  to pay  to Children's  Hospital a  portion of  all
sublicensing  payments, which  do not include  payments to  support research and
development by the Company or equity investments in the Company. The Company has
also received certain  rights of  first refusal to  certain additional  research
projects  and  any new  project opportunities  arising  from Dr.  Folkman's core
laboratory activities.
    The Company exercised its option in  May 1994 to obtain exclusive  worldwide
licenses  to  certain  oral  antiangiogenesis  technology  (thalidomide  and its
analogs),  cancer   diagnostic  and   prognostic  technology,   and   endogenous
antiangiogenesis  technology (Angiostatin-TM- protein). These license agreements
provide for certain milestone payments by the Company to Children's Hospital  as
well  as royalties based  on sales, if  any, of any  products developed from the
licensed technologies.  The milestone  payments aggregate  $2,650,000, of  which
$290,000  has been paid through March 31,  1996, and are based upon license fees
and the achievement of regulatory approvals. See "-- Angiogenesis Program."
 
   
    OTHER COLLABORATIVE ARRANGEMENTS.   The  Company is  sponsoring research  at
Innovative  Therapeutics, Inc. ("ITI"), a company that is performing early-stage
research on  methods to  treat  disease by  stimulating cellular  immunity.  The
methods  under  development  pursuant  to this  sponsored  research  program are
designed to target specific diseases by the administration of synthetic peptides
or recombinant proteins that  mimic proteins which  occur naturally during  that
particular  disease. These therapeutic agents  are designed to initiate cellular
immune responses exclusively, without affecting humoral immunity. Through  March
31,  1996,  the Company  has paid  ITI approximately  $682,500 pursuant  to this
collaboration.
    
 
   
    The Company and ITI  have agreed to preliminary  terms regarding a  proposed
transaction  whereby a  subsidiary to be  formed by the  Company ("Newco") would
acquire substantially all of the assets of ITI in exchange for 15% of the equity
of Newco and a research funding commitment by the Company. The terms contemplate
an equity investment by  the Company in Newco  of $250,000 and research  funding
for this 85% owned subsidiary of an aggregate of $1,600,000 during the first two
years,  with an additional $1,500,000  to be provided at  the sole option of the
Company during the third  year. The acquisition is  subject to the execution  of
definitive  agreements,  and  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  proposed
transaction will be completed on the terms set forth above or at all.
    
 
    The Company  intends to  continue  to support  and  fund research  at  other
companies  or academic or  other institutions in selected  areas in exchange for
rights to  technologies and  products derived  from such  sponsored research  or
equity  positions in such  companies. The Company expects  to focus on sponsored
research in areas in which  it has existing expertise  or where a strong  market
opportunity  is perceived. The Company may establish subsidiaries to develop and
commercialize promising technologies or  products generated from this  research,
which  may  create  opportunities  for  separately  financing  and  managing new
development programs. The  Company may  use a portion  of the  proceeds of  this
offering  to  fund  sponsored  research  by  other  organizations.  See  "Use of
Proceeds."
 
COMPETITION
 
   
    Competition  in  the  pharmaceutical,  biotechnology  and  biopharmaceutical
industries  is intense and  based significantly on  scientific and technological
factors, the  availability of  patent and  other protection  for technology  and
products,  the  ability  and  length of  time  required  to  obtain governmental
approval  for  testing,   manufacturing  and  marketing   and  the  ability   to
commercialize  products  in a  timely  fashion. Moreover,  the biopharmaceutical
industry is characterized by  rapidly evolving technology  that could result  in
the  technological obsolescence  of any products  developed by  the Company. The
    
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
Company competes with  many specialized  biopharmaceutical firms, as  well as  a
growing number of large pharmaceutical companies that are applying biotechnology
to  their  operations.  Many  biopharmaceutical  companies  have  focused  their
development  efforts   in  the   human  therapeutics   area,  and   many   major
pharmaceutical  companies  have  developed  or  acquired  internal biotechnology
capabilities  or  made  commercial  arrangements  with  other  biopharmaceutical
companies.  These  companies,  as well  as  academic  institutions, governmental
agencies and private research  organizations, also compete  with the Company  in
recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants.
 
    The  Company's  competition  will be  determined  in part  by  the potential
indications for which the  Company's compounds may  be developed and  ultimately
approved  by regulatory authorities. The Company  is relying on Bristol-Myers to
commercialize the  licensed  antiangiogenesis  products  and,  accordingly,  the
success of these products in the target indications of cancer and blindness will
depend  in significant part on Bristol-Myers'  efforts and ability to compete in
these markets. The  success of  the Bristol-Myers Collaboration  will depend  in
part    upon   Bristol-Myers'   own   competitive,   marketing   and   strategic
considerations, including the relative advantages of alternative products  being
developed  and  marketed  by  Bristol-Myers and  its  competitors.  For example,
Bristol-Myers currently markets cancer therapeutics, which would be  competitive
with any antiangiogenic products developed under the Bristol-Myers Collaboration
to  treat cancer. Bristol-Myers has a right to sublicense, and has undertaken to
secure a sublicense to develop thalidomide-related products for ophthalmological
indications, unless Bristol-Myers reasonably believes that the dosage or  method
of   administration  will  not  be   significantly  different  from  oncological
indications. Any  failure  or  delay  by Bristol-Myers  to  enter  into  such  a
sublicense  may substantially  limit or  preclude the  commercial development of
these applications. See "-- Collaborations and License Agreements."
 
   
    The Company is  aware of companies  and research institutions  investigating
the  role of  angiogenesis generally  and specifically  as it  may be  useful in
developing therapeutics to treat various diseases associated with abnormal blood
vessel growth. In studies available to date, these angiogenetic inhibitors  have
shown  varying effectiveness in inhibiting angiogenesis and differing degrees of
bioavailability and  toxicity.  Significant  further  preclinical  and  clinical
development  of these  products is  needed prior  to an  assessment of  the more
significant competitive  product  candidates  in  the  antiangiogenesis  disease
indications targeted by the Company.
    
 
    The  Company is aware of other  companies developing thalidomide and certain
of its  chemical  analogs for  various  disease indications,  including  Celgene
Corporation,  for the treatment of AIDS-related  cachexia (or wasting) and mouth
ulcers,  and  Andrulis  Pharmaceuticals,  for  diabetes.  Although  the  Company
believes that its patent rights, if granted, would preclude another company from
marketing  thalidomide for antiangiogenic indications, there can be no assurance
that any patent will issue or afford meaningful protection.
 
    A substantial number of companies utilize or are developing cell  permeation
or  drug  delivery  technologies and  competition  for the  development  of drug
delivery products is  intense, although  the Company's  focus is  on blood  cell
permeation.  The  Company  is  aware  of  at  least  one  other  company,  Allos
Therapeutics, Inc., that is engaged  in early-stage research regarding a  method
to  acutely increase  the oxygen-releasing  capacity of  hemoglobin for treating
cancer. The  Company  also anticipates  that  IHP-treated blood  (which  is  not
technically  a blood  replacement), will compete  for use  in blood transfusions
with readily available products, including whole human blood or packed red blood
cells, and products under development, such as blood substitutes.
 
    Many of the Company's existing  or potential competitors have  substantially
greater  financial, technical  and human resources  than the Company  and may be
better equipped to develop, manufacture  and market products. In addition,  many
of  these competitors have extensive experience in preclinical testing and human
clinical  trials  and  in  obtaining  regulatory  approvals.  The  existence  of
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
competitive  products, including products or treatments  of which the Company is
not aware, or products or  treatments that may be  developed in the future,  may
adversely  affect the  marketability of products  which may be  developed by the
Company.
 
MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING
 
    The Company's  strategy is  to enter  into collaborative  arrangements  with
pharmaceutical  and  other  companies  for  the  development,  manufacturing and
marketing of products  requiring broad marketing  capabilities and for  overseas
marketing.  These  collaborators are  generally expected  to be  responsible for
funding or reimbursing all or a portion of the development costs, including  the
costs  of clinical  testing necessary  to obtain  regulatory clearances  and for
commercial scale  manufacturing, in  exchange  for exclusive  or  semi-exclusive
rights  to  market specific  products in  particular geographic  territories. To
date,  the  Company   has  entered  into   one  collaboration  agreement,   with
Bristol-Myers,   relating  to  certain  of  its  antiangiogenesis  technologies.
However, the Company  may, in  the future, consider  manufacturing or  marketing
certain  products directly and to co-promote  certain products if it believes it
is appropriate  under  the  circumstances.  The Company  has  no  experience  in
manufacturing  or marketing products on a commercial scale and does not have the
resources to manufacture or market  by itself on a  commercial scale any of  its
product   candidates.  In  the   event  the  Company   decides  to  establish  a
manufacturing facility, the Company  will require substantial additional  funds,
and  will be  required to  hire and  train significant  additional personnel and
comply with the extensive  "good manufacturing practice" regulations  applicable
to such a facility.
 
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
 
    The  Company's success will depend  in part on its  ability to obtain patent
protection for its products,  both in the United  States and abroad. The  patent
position  of  biotechnology and  pharmaceutical companies  in general  is highly
uncertain and  involves complex  legal and  factual questions.  The Company  has
filed  eight  U.S.  patent applications  covering  Angiostatin-TM-  protein, DNA
coding for the Angiostatin-TM- protein, the use of Angiostatin-TM- protein as  a
therapeutic  agent and the use of Angiostatin-TM- protein as a diagnostic agent.
The Company also has  filed three U.S. patent  applications covering the use  of
the  thalidomide molecule and thalidomide analogs as an antiangiogenic agent for
the treatment of  a wide  variety of diseases  that are  caused by  uncontrolled
angiogenesis.  These  patent  applications also  include  composition  of matter
coverage for certain thalidomide analogs. The  Company has also filed four  U.S.
patent  applications covering the  device and method  for introducing substances
into  cells  by  flow  electroporation.  These  patent  applications  cover  the
electroporation  chamber in the  device, the overall  electroporation device and
the treatment of a wide variety of  diseases using cells that have been  treated
in  the electroporation  device. Patent  applications corresponding  to the U.S.
patent applications have been filed in Europe, Japan, Canada and other  selected
countries.  The Company has  also filed intent-to-use  trademark applications in
the U.S.  Patent  and  Trademark  Office for  the  marks  "Angiostatin-TM-"  and
"EntreMed."
 
    There  can be no assurance that any  patents will be granted or that patents
issued to the Company  will not be challenged,  invalidated or circumvented,  or
that  the rights granted  thereunder will provide  proprietary protection to the
Company.  Furthermore,  there  can  be   no  assurance  that  others  will   not
independently  develop similar products or, if patents are issued to the Company
or its collaborators, will not design around such patents.
 
    Furthermore, the  enactment  of  the legislation  implementing  the  General
Agreement  on Trade and Tariffs has resulted in certain changes to United States
patent laws that became  effective on June  8, 1995. Most  notably, the term  of
patent  protection for patent applications filed on  or after June 8, 1995 is no
longer a period of  seventeen years from the  date of grant. The  new term of  a
United  States patent will commence on the date of issuance and terminate twenty
years from the earliest  effective filing date of  the application. Because  the
time  from filing to issuance of  biotechnology patent application is often more
than three  years, a  twenty-year term  from the  effective date  of filing  may
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
result  in  a  substantially  shortened term  of  patent  protection,  which may
adversely impact the  Company's patent  position. If  this change  results in  a
shorter  period of  patent coverage, the  Company's business  could be adversely
affected to  the extent  that the  duration and  level of  the royalties  it  is
entitled  to receive from a collaborative partner is based on the existence of a
valid patent.
 
    The Company's potential products may  conflict with patents which have  been
or  may be granted to competitors,  universities or others. As the biotechnology
industry expands  and more  patents  are issued,  the  risk increases  that  the
Company's  potential products  may give  rise to  claims that  they infringe the
patents of others.  Such other  persons could  bring legal  actions against  the
Company  claiming damages and seeking  to enjoin clinical testing, manufacturing
and marketing of the affected products.  If any such actions are successful,  in
addition  to any potential liability for  damages, the Company could be required
to obtain a license in order to  continue to manufacture or market the  affected
products.  There can be no assurance that  the Company would prevail in any such
action or  that  any  license required  under  any  such patent  would  be  made
available  on acceptable terms,  if at all.  If the Company  becomes involved in
litigation, it could  consume a substantial  portion of the  Company's time  and
resources.
 
    Composition  of matter patent  protection is not  available for thalidomide.
The Company  is aware  of at  least two  other issued  patents covering  certain
non-antiangiogenic  uses of thalidomide. Although  the Company believes that the
claims in such  patents will not  interfere with the  Company's proposed use  of
thalidomide, there can be no assurance that the holders of such patents will not
be   able   to   exclude  the   Company   from  using   thalidomide   for  other
non-antiangiogenic uses of thalidomide.
 
    The Company also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential  and
proprietary  information. However,  trade secrets  are difficult  to protect and
there  can  be  no  assurance   that  others  will  not  independently   develop
substantially  equivalent  proprietary information  and techniques  or otherwise
gain access to the Company's trade secrets or disclose such technology, or  that
the Company can meaningfully protect its rights to unpatented trade secrets.
 
    The  Company requires its  employees, consultants and  advisors to execute a
confidentiality agreement upon the commencement  of an employment or  consulting
relationship  with  the Company.  The  agreements generally  provide  that trade
secrets and  all inventions  conceived by  the individual  and all  confidential
information  developed or made  known to the  individual during the  term of the
relationship shall be the  exclusive property of the  Company and shall be  kept
confidential   and  not   disclosed  to   third  parties   except  in  specified
circumstances. There can be  no assurance, however,  that these agreements  will
provide  meaningful protection for the  Company's proprietary information in the
event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    The Company's development, manufacture and potential sale of therapeutics is
subject to  extensive  regulation  by United  States  and  foreign  governmental
authorities.
 
    REGULATION  OF  PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS.   Products  being developed  by the
Company may be regulated by the FDA as drugs or biologics or, in some cases,  as
medical  devices. New  drugs are subject  to regulation under  the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and biological products, in addition to being subject to
certain provisions of that  Act, are regulated under  the Public Health  Service
Act.   The  Company  believes  that  drug   products  developed  by  it  or  its
collaborators will be regulated either as  biological products or as new  drugs.
Both  statutes and  the regulations  promulgated thereunder  govern, among other
things, the testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage,  record
keeping,  advertising and other promotional practices involving biologics or new
drugs, as the case  may be. FDA  approval or other  clearances must be  obtained
before  clinical testing, and  before manufacturing and  marketing, of biologics
and drugs.
 
    Obtaining FDA approval  has historically  been a costly  and time  consuming
process.  Generally, in order to gain FDA pre-market approval, a developer first
must conduct pre-clinical studies in the
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
laboratory and in  animal model systems  to gain preliminary  information on  an
agent's  efficacy  and to  identify any  safety problems.  The results  of these
studies are  submitted  as  a  part  of  an  investigational  new  drug  ("IND")
application,  which  the FDA  must  review before  human  clinical trials  of an
investigational  drug  can  start.  The  IND  application  includes  a  detailed
description of the clinical investigations to be undertaken.
 
    In order to commercialize any products, the Company or its collaborator must
sponsor  and file an  IND and be  responsible for initiating  and overseeing the
clinical studies  to  demonstrate the  safety,  efficacy and  potency  that  are
necessary  to  obtain  FDA  approval  of  any  such  products.  For  Company  or
collaborator-sponsored INDs, the Company or its collaborator will be required to
select qualified investigators (usually physicians within medical  institutions)
to   supervise  the  administration  of  the   products,  and  ensure  that  the
investigations are conducted and monitored  in accordance with FDA  regulations,
including  the general investigational plan and  protocols contained in the IND.
Clinical trials  are normally  done in  three phases,  although the  phases  may
overlap.  Phase I trials are concerned primarily with the safety and preliminary
effectiveness of the drug,  involve fewer than 100  subjects, and may take  from
six  months to  over one year.  Phase II  trials normally involve  a few hundred
patients and are designed primarily to demonstrate effectiveness in treating  or
diagnosing  the disease  or condition for  which the drug  is intended, although
short-term side effects and risks in people whose health is impaired may also be
examined. Phase III trials are expanded  clinical trials with larger numbers  of
patients which are intended to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of
the  drug and to gather additional information for proper dosage and labeling of
the drug. Clinical trials generally take two to five years to complete, but  may
take  longer. The FDA receives reports on the progress of each phase of clinical
testing, and  it may  require the  modification, suspension,  or termination  of
clinical  trials  if  it concludes  that  an  unwarranted risk  is  presented to
patients.
 
    If clinical trials of a new product are completed successfully, the  sponsor
of the product may seek FDA marketing approval. If the product is regulated as a
biologic,  the FDA will  require the submission  and approval of  both a Product
License Application  ("PLA") and  an  Establishment License  Application  before
commercial  marketing of  the biologic.  If the product  is classified  as a new
drug, the Company  must file a  New Drug  Application ("NDA") with  the FDA  and
receive  approval before commercial marketing  of the drug. The  NDA or PLA must
include detailed information about the drug and its manufacture and the  results
of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials. The testing and
approval  processes  require substantial  time and  effort and  there can  be no
assurance that any approval will be granted  on a timely basis, if at all.  NDAs
and PLAs submitted to the FDA can take, on average, two to five years to receive
approval.  If questions arise  during the FDA review  process, approval can take
more than five years. Notwithstanding the  submission of relevant data, the  FDA
may  ultimately  decide that  the NDA  or  PLA does  not satisfy  its regulatory
criteria for approval and deny approval or require additional clinical  studies.
In addition, the FDA may condition marketing approval on the conduct of specific
post-marketing studies to further evaluate safety and effectiveness. Even if FDA
regulatory  clearances are obtained, a marketed  product is subject to continual
review, and later discovery of previously unknown problems or failure to  comply
with  the applicable regulatory  requirements may result  in restrictions on the
marketing of a product or withdrawal of  the product from the market as well  as
possible civil or criminal sanctions.
 
   
    Thalidomide  is  regulated  by  the FDA's  Center  for  Drug  Evaluation and
Research. Although not approved for sale in the U.S., thalidomide has been  used
as an investigational agent to treat thousands of patients for leprosy and other
diseases.  EntreMed has filed an IND application  and started Phase II trials in
macular degeneration,  a  leading  cause  of blindness,  and  expects  that  the
analysis  of  these results  could  determine whether  Phase  III trials  may be
attempted. The  National Cancer  Institute in  collaboration with  EntreMed  and
Bristol-Myers  has begun Phase  II trials in breast  cancer, prostate cancer and
Kaposi's sarcoma. It is expected that  future cancer trials may be dependent  on
the  results of  these studies.  Thalidomide must  meet the  standard regulatory
requirements of any new drug, and  successful Phase III clinical trials will  be
necessary to form the basis of an NDA.
    
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
    Analogs  of thalidomide  may be  regulated as  new chemical  entities by the
FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and  Research. Although these compounds are  in
the  discovery phase of research,  it is expected that  as new chemical entities
are discovered complete preclinical toxicology studies will be required prior to
studies  in  humans.   The  remainder  of   the  developmental  and   regulatory
requirements will be similar to that of any new drug.
 
    Angiostatin-TM-  protein, a  naturally occurring substance,  is considered a
biologic and will be regulated by the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation  and
Research.  As a  genetically engineered and  endogenous protein, Angiostatin-TM-
protein will face unique and specific regulation hurdles, such as those  related
to  the manufacture of the product and the  behavior of the product in the body.
The regulatory requirements  for recombinant  proteins have  been developed  for
other   endogenous  molecules  (e.g.,  Epogen,  Neupogen  and  Interferons)  and
Angiostatin-TM-protein is  expected  to  follow  these  established  guidelines.
Successful  preclinical studies and Phase I, II and III trials will be necessary
to form the basis for a PLA.
 
    The cell  permeation  technology,  and specifically  IHP-treated  red  blood
cells, will likely be regulated by the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research.  The Company  anticipates that the  FDA will view  the IHP-treated red
blood cells (rather than IHP itself) as the regulated product. In addition,  the
device  used to  insert IHP  into the red  blood cells  may be  regulated by the
Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research under the medical device provisions
of the  Federal Food,  Drug and  Cosmetic  Act (described  below). It  would  be
expected  that the preclinical  and clinical trials necessary  for approval of a
PLA would also  be relevant  to the approval  of the  device. Historically,  the
FDA's  Office  of Blood  Research  and Review  has  had the  most  expertise and
experience in regulating blood,  apheresis equipment and disposables  associated
with the processing of human blood. Further development for IHP-treated blood is
expected  to follow  a similar  path to that  of any  therapeutic biologic, with
successful completion of  Phase I,  Phase II and  Phase III  trials required  to
precede the filing of a PLA. Because the cell permeation technology requires the
use  of red blood  cells produced from  humans, the Company  will be required to
comply  with,  or  to  contract  with  suppliers  that  comply  with,  stringent
regulation of blood component collection. That regulation is designed to protect
both   donors  and  recipients  of   blood  products  and  involves  significant
recordkeeping and other burdens.
 
    REGULATION OF DEVICES.   Any device products which  may be developed by  the
Company  are likely to  be regulated by  the FDA as  medical devices rather than
drugs. In addition, as noted, the device  used to insert IHP in blood cells  may
be  regulated as a medical device. The nature of the FDA requirements applicable
to such products depends on their classification by the FDA. A device  developed
by  the  Company  would  be  automatically classified  as  a  Class  III device,
requiring pre-market approval, unless the Company could demonstrate to the  FDA,
in   the  required  pre-market  notification  procedure,  that  the  device  was
substantially equivalent to an existing device that has been classified in Class
I or Class II or to a pre-1976  device that has not yet been classified. If  the
Company  were unable  to demonstrate such  substantial equivalence,  it would be
required to undertake the costly and time-consuming process, comparable to  that
for  new drugs, of conducting  preclinical studies, obtaining an investigational
device  exemption  to  conduct  clinical  tests,  filing  a  premarket  approval
application, and obtaining FDA approval.
 
    If  the  Company  could demonstrate  substantial  equivalence to  a  Class I
product, the "general controls" of the  Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act  --
chiefly  adulteration, misbranding, and good manufacturing practice requirements
- -- would nevertheless  apply. If substantial  equivalence to a  Class II  device
could  be  shown,  the  general  controls plus  "special  controls"  --  such as
performance standards, guidelines for safety and effectiveness, and  post-market
surveillance  -- would apply.  While demonstrating substantial  equivalence to a
Class I or Class II product is not as costly or time-consuming as the pre-market
approval process  for Class  III devices,  it  can in  some cases  also  involve
conducting  clinical tests to  demonstrate that any  differences between the new
device and devices already on the market do not affect safety or  effectiveness.
If substantial equivalence to a pre-1976
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
device  that has not yet been classified has been shown, it is possible that the
FDA would subsequently classify the  device as a Class  III device and call  for
the filing of premarket approval applications at that time. If the FDA took that
step,  then filing an application acceptable to  the FDA would be a prerequisite
to remaining on the market.
 
    If the FDA chooses  to regulate the device  (the electroporation device  and
disposable  flow chamber) used to insert IHP in blood cells as a medical device,
it is likely that the review process  will nevertheless occur in the Center  for
Biologics  Evaluation and  Research. It is  possible, however,  that such Center
would consult  with relevant  officials  in the  FDA's  Center for  Devices  and
Radiological  Health. Such  a consultation might  further delay  approval of the
device and thus of this technology.
 
    OTHER.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company's business is and will  be
subject  to  regulation  under  various state  and  federal  environmental laws,
including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Resource Conservation  and
Recovery  Act and the Toxic  Substance Control Act. These  and other laws govern
the Company's use,  handling and  disposal of various  biological, chemical  and
radioactive  substances  used in  and wastes  generated  by its  operations. The
Company believes that it is in material compliance with applicable environmental
laws and  that its  continued  compliance therewith  will  not have  a  material
adverse effect on its business. The Company cannot predict, however, whether new
regulatory  restrictions  on the  marketing  of biotechnology  products  will be
imposed by state or federal regulators and agencies.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
   
    As of May 15, 1996, the Company had 27 full-time employees, of which 19 were
in research and development and eight were in management and administration. The
Company  intends  to  hire  additional  personnel.  The  Company  also  utilizes
part-time  or temporary consultants on an as-needed basis. None of the Company's
employees is represented by a labor union and the Company believes its relations
with its employees are satisfactory.
    
 
PROPERTIES
 
    The Company currently occupies an  aggregate of approximately 11,600  square
feet  of office  space (approximately 8,250  square feet of  which is laboratory
space) in Rockville, Maryland  pursuant to a lease  expiring in April 2003.  The
lease provides for annual rent of approximately $215,000 during 1996, subject to
specified  annual increases.  See Note 4  of Notes to  Financial Statements. The
Company anticipates that its current facilities will be sufficient through 1996,
at which time it is  likely to require additional  or larger space. The  Company
has  not  yet  determined whether  to  lease  additional space  or  build  a new
facility, but expects to use proceeds of this offering to fund a portion of  the
costs relating to any such expansion. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
   
    The Company is a party to certain litigation initiated in August 1995 in the
United  States District Court for the  Eastern District of Tennessee by Bolling,
McCool & Twist,  a consulting firm.  The suit  relates to a  claim for  services
rendered  in the approximate  amount of $50,000  and seeks a  finder's fee in an
unspecified amount in connection with the Bristol-Myers Collaboration. In  April
1996,  the  Company filed  a  motion to  compel discovery.  Due  to the  lack of
discovery and early stage of the  proceedings, the Company is unable to  predict
with  certainty  the eventual  outcome of  the lawsuit.  The Company  intends to
contest the action vigorously and believes that this proceeding will not have  a
material  adverse effect on the Company or on its financial statements, although
there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
    In  April 1996, effective as of January  1, 1996, the Company entered into a
three-year employment agreement with John W. Holaday, Ph.D., Chairman and  Chief
Executive  Officer of  the Company.  The agreement  provides for  an annual base
salary of $250,000  per year. The  Company may terminate  the agreement  without
cause  and, upon such termination,  Dr. Holaday will be  entitled to receive his
base salary through the end of the initial term of the agreement (subject to  an
offset  for salary received from  subsequent employment). The agreement contains
confidentiality and non-competition provisions.
 
   
    The Company is  the beneficiary of  a $1,000,000 key  person life  insurance
policy  on  the  life of  Dr.  Holaday.  In addition,  the  Company  maintains a
$2,000,000 split-dollar life insurance policy on  the life of Dr. Holaday at  an
annual  cost  of approximately  $12,500. Premiums  paid by  the Company  on such
policy are  treated as  non-interest bearing  advances to  the insured  for  the
policy.  The initial proceeds  of any death  benefit are required  to be used to
repay the indebtedness, and the balance of the insurance proceeds are payable as
designated by the insured.
    
 
    Each of the Company's employees  has entered into a Proprietary  Information
and  Invention  Assignment Agreement  providing, among  other things,  that such
employee will not disclose any confidential information or trade secrets in  any
unauthorized  manner and  that all  inventions of  such officer  relating to the
Company's current or anticipated business  during the term of employment  become
the Company's property.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
    Directors are entitled to compensation of $2,000 for each Board of Directors
meeting attended and are reimbursed for expenses actually incurred in connection
with  attending  such meetings.  Directors are  also  awarded initial  grants of
non-qualified stock  options to  purchase  15,000 shares  of Common  Stock  upon
joining  the Board of Directors and annual grants of non-qualified stock options
to purchase  5,000  shares  of Common  Stock.  In  addition, each  member  of  a
committee  of the Board  of Directors will receive  certain additional grants of
non-qualified stock options.  All options are  granted at the  then fair  market
value. See "-- Stock Options" and "Certain Transactions."
 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS
 
    The  General Corporation Law  of Delaware permits  a corporation through its
Certificate  of  Incorporation  to  eliminate  the  personal  liability  of  its
directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of   fiduciary  duty   of  loyalty  and   care  as  a   director,  with  certain
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
exceptions. The exceptions include a breach  of the director's duty of  loyalty,
acts  or omissions not in good faith  or which involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violation of law, improper  declarations of dividends, and  transactions
from  which the  directors derived an  improper personal  benefit. The Company's
Certificate of Incorporation exonerates its directors from monetary liability to
the fullest extent permitted by this  statutory provision but does not  restrict
the availability of non-monetary and other equitable relief.
 
    The  Company intends to  enter into Indemnification  Agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers.  Each such Indemnification Agreement  will
provide  that  the  Company  will  indemnify  the  indemnitee  against expenses,
including reasonable attorney's  fees, judgments, penalties,  fines and  amounts
paid  in settlement actually  and reasonably incurred by  him in connection with
any civil or  criminal action or  administrative proceeding arising  out of  the
performance  of his  duties as  an officer, director,  employee or  agent of the
Company. Such indemnification is available if the acts of the indemnitee were in
good faith, if the indemnitee acted in a manner he reasonably believed to be  in
or  not opposed to  the best interests of  the Company and,  with respect to any
criminal proceeding,  the indemnitee  had  no reasonable  cause to  believe  his
conduct was unlawful.
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
   
    GENERAL.   In  December 1992, the  Company adopted the  1992 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "1992 Plan"), which provides for  the grant by the Company of  options
to  purchase up to an aggregate of  1,233,333 shares of the Company's authorized
but unissued Common Stock and in March 1996, the Company adopted the 1996  Stock
Option  Plan, which was amended and restated in April 1996 (the "1996 Plan" and,
together with the 1992 Plan,  the "Plans"), which provide  for the grant by  the
Company  of options  to purchase  up to  an aggregate  of 516,667  shares of the
Company's authorized  but  unissued  Common  Stock  (in  each  case  subject  to
adjustment  in  certain  cases  including  stock  splits,  recapitalizations and
reorganizations) to officers, directors, employees, consultants and  independent
contractors  of  the  Company. The  purposes  of  the Plans  are  to  ensure the
retention  of  existing  executive  personnel,  key  employees,  directors   and
consultants  of  the  Company, to  attract  and retain  competent  new executive
personnel, key employees,  directors and consultants  and to provide  additional
incentive to all such persons by permitting them to participate in the ownership
of  the Company.  The 1992 Plan  terminates in  December 2002 and  the 1996 Plan
terminates in March 2006.
    
 
    The Plans will be administered by the  Board of Directors or a committee  of
the  Board of Directors, provided, however,  that with respect to "officers" and
"directors," as such  terms are defined  for the purposes  of Rule 16b-3  ("Rule
16b-3")  promulgated under  the Securities Exchange  Act of  1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), such committee shall consist  of "disinterested" directors as defined  in
Rule   16b-3,  but  only  if  at  least  two  directors  meet  the  criteria  of
"disinterested" directors as defined in Rule  16b-3. The 1996 Plan provides  for
automatic  grants of options to certain directors  in the manner set forth below
under "Directors' Options."
 
    Options  granted  under  the  Plans  may  be  either  incentive  options  or
non-qualified options. Incentive options granted under the Plans are exercisable
for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which
is  not less than the fair  market value of the Common  Stock on the date of the
grant, except that the term of an incentive option granted under the Plans to  a
stockholder  owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting power may not exceed
five years and its exercise price may not  be less than 110% of the fair  market
value  of the  Common Stock on  the date  of the grant.  To the  extent that the
aggregate fair market value, as  of the date of grant,  of the shares for  which
incentive  options become exercisable  for the first time  by an optionee during
the calendar  year exceeds  $100,000, the  portion of  such option  which is  in
excess  of the  $100,000 limitation will  be treated as  a non-qualified option.
Additionally, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject
to options granted to any person in a calendar year shall not exceed 25% of  the
maximum  number of shares of Common Stock which  may be issued from time to time
under the Plans. Options
 
                                       40
<PAGE>
granted under the Plans to officers,  directors or employees of the Company  may
be  exercised only while the optionee is  employed or retained by the Company or
within 90 days  of the  date of termination  of the  employment relationship  or
directorship.  However, options which are exercisable at the time of termination
by reason of  death or  permanent disability of  the optionee  may be  exercised
within  12 months of the  date of termination of  the employment relationship or
directorship. Upon the exercise of an option, payment may be made by cash or  by
any other means that the Board of Directors or the committee determines.
 
    Options  may be granted  only to such employees,  officers and directors of,
and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company as
the Board of Directors or  the committee shall select from  time to time in  its
sole  discretion, provided that only employees of the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company shall  be eligible  to receive incentive  options. As  of March  31,
1996, the number of employees, officers and directors of the Company eligible to
receive  grants  under the  Plans was  approximately 35  persons. The  number of
consultants and advisors  to the Company  eligible to receive  grants under  the
Plans is not determinable. An optionee may be granted more than one option under
the  Plans. The  Board of  Directors or the  committee will,  in its discretion,
determine (subject to the terms of the  Plans) who will be granted options,  the
time or times at which options shall be granted, the number of shares subject to
each  option  and whether  the options  are  incentive options  or non-qualified
options. In making such determination, consideration  may be given to the  value
of  the  services  rendered by  the  respective individuals,  their  present and
potential contributions to the success of  the Company and its subsidiaries  and
such other factors deemed relevant in accomplishing the purpose of the Plans.
 
    Under  the Plans, the optionee has none  of the rights of a stockholder with
respect to the shares issuable upon the exercise of the option until such shares
shall be issued upon such exercise. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date  of
exercise,  except as provided in the Plans. During the lifetime of the optionee,
an option shall  be exercisable only  by the  optionee. No option  may be  sold,
pledged,  assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other
than by will or by the laws of decent and distribution.
 
    The Board  of  Directors  may  amend or  terminate  the  Plans  except  that
stockholder  approval  is required  to effect  a  change so  as to  increase the
aggregate number of shares that may  be issued under the Plans (unless  adjusted
to  reflect  such  changes  as  a  result  of  a  stock  dividend,  stock split,
recapitalization, merger  or  consolidation  of  the  Company),  to  modify  the
requirements  as to eligibility  to receive options,  to increase materially the
benefits accruing to participants or as otherwise may be required by Rule  16b-3
or  Section 422  of the Code.  No action taken  by the Board  may materially and
adversely affect  any  outstanding  option  grant without  the  consent  of  the
optionee.
 
    Under  current  tax law,  there are  no Federal  income tax  consequences to
either the employee  or the  Company on the  grant of  non-qualified options  if
granted under the terms set forth in the Plans. Upon exercise of a non-qualified
option,  the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to the option
over the option  price (the  "Spread") at  the date  of exercise  is taxable  as
ordinary income to the optionee in the year it is exercised and is deductible by
the  Company as compensation for Federal  income tax purposes, if Federal income
tax is withheld on  the Spread. However,  if the shares  are subject to  vesting
restrictions  conditioned on future  employment or the holder  is subject to the
short-swing profits liability restrictions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange  Act
of  (i.e., is an executive officer, director  or 10% stockholder of the Company)
then taxation and measurement of the Spread is deferred until such  restrictions
lapse,  unless a  special election is  made under  Section 83(b) of  the Code to
report such income currently without regard to such restrictions. The optionee's
basis in the shares will be equal to the fair market value on the date  taxation
is imposed and the holding period commences on such date.
 
                                       41
<PAGE>
    Incentive  option holders incur  no regular Federal  income tax liability at
the time of grant or  upon exercise of such  option, assuming that the  optionee
was  an employee of  the Company from the  date the option  was granted until 90
days before such exercise. However, upon  exercise, the Spread must be added  to
regular  Federal taxable income in computing the optionee's "alternative minimum
tax" liability. An  optionee's basis in  the shares received  on exercise of  an
incentive  stock option  will be  the option  price of  such shares  for regular
income tax purposes. No deduction is allowable to the Company for Federal income
tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of such option.
 
    If the holder  of shares acquired  through exercise of  an incentive  option
sells such shares within two years of the date of grant of such option or within
one   year  from  the  date  of   exercise  of  such  option  (a  "Disqualifying
Disposition"), the  optionee  will realize  income  taxable at  ordinary  rates.
Ordinary  income  is  reportable during  the  year  of such  sale  equal  to the
difference between the option price and the  fair market value of the shares  at
the  date the option is exercised, but  the amount includable as ordinary income
shall not exceed  the excess,  if any,  of the proceeds  of such  sale over  the
option  price. In addition  to ordinary income,  a Disqualifying Disposition may
result in  taxable  income subject  to  capital  gains treatment  if  the  sales
proceeds  exceed the optionee's basis in the shares (i.e., the option price plus
the amount includable as ordinary income). The amount of the optionee's  taxable
ordinary  income  will  be  deductible  by  the  Company  in  the  year  of  the
Disqualifying Disposition.
 
    At the time of  sale of shares  received upon exercise  of an option  (other
than  a Disqualifying  Disposition of  shares received  upon the  exercise of an
incentive option), any gain or loss  is long-term or short-term capital gain  or
loss,  depending  upon  the holding  period.  The holding  period  for long-term
capital gain or loss treatment is more than one year.
 
    The foregoing  is not  intended to  be  an exhaustive  analysis of  the  tax
consequences relating to stock options issued under the Plans. For instance, the
treatment  of options  under state  and local tax  laws, which  is not described
above, may differ from the treatment for Federal income tax purposes.
 
    As of March 31, 1996, there were outstanding under the 1992 Plan options  to
purchase  1,107,031 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.50
to $15.00 per  share and no  options were  outstanding under the  1996 Plan.  In
addition,  the Company had outstanding at March 31, 1996 133,334 options granted
outside of the Plans at exercise prices ranging from $6.00 to $6.375 per  share.
The exercise price of all options was at least equal to the fair market value on
the date of grant.
 
   
    DIRECTORS'  OPTIONS.    The provisions  of  the  1996 Plan  provide  for the
automatic grant  of non-qualified  stock options  to purchase  shares of  Common
Stock  ("Director Options") to directors  of the Company ("Eligible Directors").
Eligible Directors of the Company elected after the date hereof will be  granted
a  Director Option to  purchase 15,000 shares  of Common Stock  on the date such
person is first elected or appointed a director (an "Initial Director  Option").
Further,  commencing on  the day  immediately following  the date  of the annual
meeting of stockholders for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31,  1996,
(i)  each Eligible Director will be granted  a Director Option to purchase 5,000
shares of  Common  Stock,  (ii) each  member  of  the Audit  Committee  and  the
Compensation  Committee  will be  granted a  Director  Option to  purchase 1,000
shares of Common Stock and (iii) each member of the Executive Committee will  be
granted  a Director Option  to purchase 5,000  shares of Common  Stock (each, an
"Automatic Grant") on  the day  immediately following  the date  of each  annual
meeting  of stockholders, as long  as such director is a  member of the Board of
Directors or such committee,  as the case  may be. The  exercise price for  each
share  subject to a Director  Option shall be equal to  the fair market value of
the Common  Stock  on  the date  of  grant,  except for  directors  who  receive
incentive  options and who own more than 10%  of the voting power, in which case
the exercise price shall be not less than  110% of the fair market value on  the
date   of  grant.  Director  Options  are  exercisable  in  three  equal  annual
installments, commencing on the date of grant. Director Options will expire  the
earlier  of 10 years after the date of grant or 90 days after the termination of
the director's service on the Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
    The Board  of  Directors  of  the Company  has  established  a  Compensation
Committee which, during fiscal 1995, consisted of Samuel R. Dunlap, Jr., Wendell
M. Starke and Bart Chernow, M.D.
 
    In  November  1995, the  Company issued  to Mr.  Dunlap options  to purchase
166,667 shares of Common  Stock at an  exercise price of  $6.375 per share.  The
Company  has in the past maintained a consulting arrangement with Mr. Dunlap and
in January 1996  entered into  a new three  year consulting  agreement with  Mr.
Dunlap  that  provides for  annual payments  of $90,000.  In November  1995, the
Company granted  Mr. Dunlap  warrants to  purchase 166,667  shares,  exercisable
66,667  immediately and the  remainder in three equal  annual installments at an
exercise price of $6.375 per share.
 
   
    In April  1993, a  trust  of which  Wendell M.  Starke  is the  trustee  and
beneficiary  (the "Starke Trust")  purchased 50,000 shares  of Common Stock from
the Company at a  purchase price of  $6.00 per share. In  July 1994, the  Starke
Trust  loaned the  Company $300,000, which  loan was evidenced  by a convertible
promissory note payable on demand bearing interest at 8% per annum. In September
1994, the principal  amount of  such note was  converted into  47,066 shares  of
Common  Stock (a  conversion price  of $6.375 per  share). In  October 1994, the
Starke Trust  purchased 84,633  shares of  Common Stock  from the  Company at  a
purchase price of $6.375 per share. In February 1995, the Starke Trust purchased
33,333 shares of Common Stock from the Company at a purchase price of $6.375 per
share.  In June 1995, Mr. Starke loaned  the Company an aggregate of $162,916 in
exchange for a  promissory note  due and paid  in December  1995, together  with
interest  at the rate of 9% per annum, and warrants to purchase 10,648 shares at
$6.375 per share. See "Certain Transactions."
    
 
                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
    In October 1991, the Company issued  333,333 shares of Common Stock to  each
of  Steve Gorlin, John W. Holaday, Ph.D.  and Bart Chernow, M.D., co-founders of
the Company, at a purchase price of $.015 per share.
 
    In June 1992, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,545,000 shares of  Common
Stock  at a purchase price of $.015  per share, including 433,333 shares to each
of Drs. Holaday and Chernow, 133,333 shares to Mark Rogers, M.D., 50,000  shares
to  Steve Gorlin and 33,333  shares to each of  Stephen Ayres, M.D., David Evans
and Richard Franco. Each of Messrs. Rogers, Gorlin, Ayres, Evans and Franco  was
a  director of the Company at the time  of the transaction. In addition, in June
1992, the Company  sold 1,500,000  shares of Preferred  Stock to  each of  Steve
Gorlin  and to D.H. Blair Investment Banking  Corp. at a purchase price of $1.00
per share. Mr. Gorlin  paid for a  portion of his shares  of Preferred Stock  by
executing  a promissory note in  the principal amount of  $350,000. The note was
payable with interest at  8% per annum  and was paid in  full in December  1993,
partially  through the  offset of  $220,000 of amounts  due Mr.  Gorlin from the
Company for use of his aircraft for Company business, as noted below.
 
    In June 1992, the  Company and Carl  Alving, M.D. entered  into a Stock  and
Asset  Exchange Agreement pursuant  to which Dr. Alving  assigned to the Company
his rights  to  various vaccine  technologies.  In return,  the  Company  issued
766,666 shares of Common Stock to Dr. Alving, paid Dr. Alving an initial royalty
of  $40,000 and agreed to pay annual royalties of $40,000 through June 1996. See
"Management -- Director Compensation."
 
    From the inception  of the Company  through December 31,  1993, the  Company
utilized  aircraft owned by Steve Gorlin  or entities controlled by Steve Gorlin
at a  cost  of  approximately  $220,000, which  amount  was  determined  by  the
Company's  Board of Directors to be the fair market value based on costs charged
by other chartered  service operators.  Such amounts  were paid  by the  Company
through  offset against the $350,000 note payable by Mr. Gorlin described above.
In May 1992, the
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
Company extended an interest-free loan  of approximately $24,000 to Mr.  Gorlin,
which amount was repaid in August 1992. From inception until August 1, 1992, the
Company operated out of the offices of Mr. Gorlin at no cost to the Company.
 
   
    In April 1993, the Starke Trust purchased 50,000 shares of Common Stock from
the  Company at a  purchase price of $6.00  per share. In  July 1994, the Starke
Trust loaned the  Company $300,000, which  loan was evidenced  by a  convertible
promissory note payable on demand bearing interest at 8% per annum. In September
1994,  the principal  amount of  such note was  converted into  47,066 shares of
Common Stock (a  conversion price  of $6.375 per  share). In  October 1994,  the
Starke  Trust purchased  84,633 shares  of Common  Stock from  the Company  at a
purchase price of $6.375 per share. In February 1995, the Starke Trust purchased
33,333 shares of Common Stock from the Company at a purchase price of $6.375 per
share. In June 1995, Mr. Starke loaned  the Company an aggregate of $162,916  in
exchange  for a  promissory note  due and paid  in December  1995, together with
interest at the rate of 9% per annum, and warrants to purchase 10,648 shares  at
$6.375  per share. In November 1995, the  Company granted Mr. Dunlap warrants to
purchase 166,667 shares,  exercisable 66,667  immediately and  the remainder  in
three equal annual installments at an exercise price of $6.375 per share.
    
 
    The Company and Mr. Gorlin, Dr. Holaday, Dr. Alving, Dr. Chernow, D.H. Blair
Investment  Banking  Corp.  and  Kinder  Investments,  L.P.  are  parties  to  a
Shareholder Agreement, dated June 4, 1992,  as amended and restated on  December
10,  1993 (the "Shareholder Agreement"). The Shareholder Agreement grants to Dr.
Alving the right, in connection with an initial public offering of the Company's
securities, to request the  registration of shares of  Common Stock held by  him
having  a value of $250,000. Mr. Gorlin  agreed to purchase such shares from Dr.
Alving in the event that such shares  are not so registered following a  request
by Dr. Alving. Dr. Alving has waived his right to request such registration.
 
   
    Pursuant  to a consulting  arrangement, the Company paid  Mr. Dunlap fees of
$54,000 in each of 1993, 1994 and 1995 and a $100,000 bonus in 1995. The Company
entered into  a  three year  consulting  agreement with  Mr.  Dunlap  commencing
January 1, 1996 that provides for annual payments of $90,000. See "Management --
Director  Compensation." In May 1996 effective  August 1995, the Company entered
into a termination agreement with Steve Gorlin, a co-founder and former director
of the Company,  superseding a  previous consulting agreement  with Mr.  Gorlin,
that provides for annual payments of $90,000 per year for a three year period.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
    Set  forth below  is a  summary of  the terms  of the  capital stock  of the
Company. Such summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, attached as an exhibit hereto, and  gives
effect to the filing of a Certificate of Amendment thereto, the form of which is
attached as an exhibit hereto.
 
    The  Company's  authorized capital  stock  currently consists  of 27,000,000
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, and 8,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
$1.00 par value.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
   
    Immediately prior to the date hereof, there were 8,460,579 shares of  Common
Stock  outstanding (including 2,000,000  shares issuable upon  conversion of the
3,000,000 outstanding  shares  of Preferred  Stock)  held by  approximately  260
shareholders  of record. Holders of  shares of Common Stock  are entitled to one
vote at all meetings  of shareholders for  each share held by  them and are  not
entitled to cumulative voting. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights
and  have no other rights to subscribe  for additional shares of the Company nor
does the Common Stock have any conversion rights or rights of redemption, either
of which rights have not  been waived. Holders of  Common Stock are entitled  to
receive  ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds legally  available therefor. See  "Dividend Policy." Upon  liquidation,
all  holders of Common Stock are entitled  to participate pro rata in the assets
of the Company available for distribution, subject to the rights of any class of
preferred stock then outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of Common  Stock
are, and the shares to be issued pursuant to this offering will be, when issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
    
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    Effective  upon the closing of this offering, the Company will be authorized
to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors  will
have  the authority to issue  this Preferred Stock in one  or more series and to
fix the  rights, preferences,  privileges  and restrictions  thereof,  including
dividend  rights,  dividend rates,  conversion rights,  voting rights,  terms of
redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of  shares
constituting  any series of the designation of such series, without further vote
or action by  the stockholders.  The issuance of  Preferred Stock  may have  the
effect  of delaying, deferring or preventing a  change in control of the Company
without further action by the stockholders  and may adversely affect the  voting
and  other rights of the  holders of Common Stock,  including the loss of voting
control to others.  Prior to  the date hereof,  there were  3,000,000 shares  of
Preferred Stock outstanding held by 19 shareholders of record, which shares will
be  automatically converted into 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of
this Prospectus,  and  the shares  of  Preferred  Stock will  be  cancelled  and
retired.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
   
    Beginning  one  year  from the  date  of this  Prospectus,  Bristol-Myers is
entitled to certain registration rights with respect to 874,999 shares of Common
Stock (including 333,333 shares to be purchased in a private placement upon  the
closing  of this offering) and 444,444 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants
(which amounts assume an initial public offering price of $15.00 per share) and,
beginning 13  months  from the  date  of  this Prospectus,  certain  holders  of
1,157,344  shares  of  Common Stock  and  the  holders of  211,315  warrants are
entitled to certain  registration rights  with respect  to such  shares and  the
Common  Stock  issuable  upon exercise  of  the warrants.  Under  the agreements
between the Company and these holders, the holders may request that the  Company
file  a registration statement  under the Securities Act  and, upon such request
and subject to certain  minimum size conditions, the  Company generally will  be
required  to use its best efforts to  effect any such registration. In addition,
if the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock, either for its  own
account  or for the account of other stockholders, the Company is required, with
certain exceptions, to notify the holders
    
 
                                       47
<PAGE>
described above  and,  subject  to  certain  limitations,  to  include  in  such
registration  all of the shares of Common Stock requested to be included by such
holders. The Company  is generally obligated  to bear the  expenses, other  than
underwriting discounts and sales commissions, of all of these registrations.
 
    Any  exercise of such registration rights  may hinder efforts by the Company
to arrange future financings of the Company and/or have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Company's shares.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    American Stock Transfer and Trust Company,  New York, New York, will act  as
transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
   
    Upon  completion of  this offering  and the  sale of  the BMS  Shares by the
Company, the Company will  have 11,993,912 shares  of Common Stock  outstanding,
assuming  that  the Underwriters'  over-allotment  option and  other outstanding
options and warrants are  not exercised. Of these  shares, the 3,200,000  shares
offered   hereby  will  be  freely  tradeable  without  restriction  or  further
registration under the Securities Act,  unless purchased by "affiliates" of  the
Company  as that  term is defined  in Rule  144 under the  Securities Act ("Rule
144")  described  below.  The   remaining  8,793,912  shares  outstanding   upon
completion  of this offering are "restricted securities" as that term is defined
under Rule 144  (the "Restricted Shares")  and may not  be sold publicly  unless
they are registered under the Securities Act or are sold pursuant to Rule 144 or
another  exemption from registration. Approximately  3,424,290 of the Restricted
Shares will  become eligible  for sale  immediately following  the date  of  the
Prospectus  and, subject to  compliance with Rule 144  under the Securities Act,
approximately 2,925,714 of the  Restricted Shares will be  eligible for sale  in
the  public  market beginning  90 days  from  the date  of this  Prospectus. The
remaining Restricted Shares will become eligible  for sale pursuant to the  Rule
144  between June 1996 and June 1998. In addition, the Company intends to file a
Form S-8 to  register an aggregate  of 1,750,000 shares  subject to  outstanding
options or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans.
    
 
   
    Beginning 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, certain shares issuable
upon  exercise  of options  granted by  the Company  prior to  the date  of this
Prospectus will also be eligible for sale in the public market pursuant to  Rule
701  under the Securities  Act. In general,  Rule 701 permits  resales of shares
issued pursuant to certain compensatory  benefit plans and contracts  commencing
90  days after the issuer  becomes subject to the  reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange  Act of  1934, as  amended, in  reliance upon  Rule 144  but
without  compliance  with  certain restrictions,  including  the  holding period
requirements, contained in  Rule 144. If  all the requirements  of Rule 701  are
met,  as of  March 31,  1996, an  aggregate of  approximately 855,930  shares of
Common Stock issuable  upon exercise  of currently outstanding  options will  be
eligible for sale pursuant to such rule.
    
 
    Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, the  Underwriters  have requested  that all
directors and executive officers and other stockholders of the Company agree not
to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Company's Common Stock without
the prior written  consent of  Allen & Company  Incorporated, on  behalf of  the
Underwriters,   for  a   period  of  180   days  after  the   date  hereof.  See
"Underwriting."
 
    In general under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated)
who has beneficially owned Restricted Shares  for at least two years,  including
persons  who may be deemed to be  "affiliates" of the Company, would be entitled
to sell within any three-month  period a number of  shares that does not  exceed
the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or
(ii)  the average  weekly trading  volume in  the Common  Stock during  the four
calendar weeks preceding  such sale. Sales  under Rule 144  are also subject  to
certain  requirements as to the  manner of sale, notice  and the availability of
current public information about the Company.  In addition, a person who is  not
deemed  to have been an affiliate of the  Company at any time during the 90 days
 
                                       48
<PAGE>
   
preceding a sale, and who  has beneficially owned for  at least three years  the
shares  proposed to be  sold, would be  entitled to sell  such shares under Rule
144(k) without  regard  to  the  requirements  described  above.  Moreover,  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission has recently  proposed an  amendment to the
holding period  requirements  of  Rule  144  to  permit  resales  of  restricted
securities  after  a  one-year holding  period  rather than  a  two-year holding
period, and to permit  unrestricted resales by  non-affiliates pursuant to  Rule
144(k)  after a two-year holding period rather than a three-year holding period.
In the event that such proposal is adopted, the dates upon which certain of  the
Restricted  Shares will become  eligible for sale  pursuant to Rule  144 will be
accelerated.
    
 
    Certain holders of Common Stock and  warrants to purchase Common Stock  have
certain  demand and piggy-back registration  rights. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Registration Rights."
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock of the
Company, and  the Company  cannot predict  what effect,  if any,  that sales  of
Common  Stock or  the availability  of Common  Stock for  sale will  have on the
market price  of such  securities prevailing  from time  to time.  Nevertheless,
sales  of  substantial  amounts  of  Common Stock  in  the  public  market could
adversely affect prevailing  market prices  and the  ability of  the Company  to
raise equity capital in the future.

    Pursuant  to  the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the  several  Underwriters have
agreed, subject to the terms and  conditions set forth therein, to purchase  all
of  the shares  of Common Stock  offered hereby  (other than shares  that may be
purchased  under  the   over-allotment  option)  if   any  are  purchased.   The
Underwriters  propose initially to offer  the shares to the  public at the price
set forth on the  cover page of  this Prospectus. The  Underwriters may allow  a
selling  concession not  exceeding $      per share  of Common  Stock to certain
dealers. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a  concession
not  in excess of $    per share to other dealers. The public offering price and
concessions may  be changed  by  the Representatives  after the  initial  public
offering.
 
    The  Company has  agreed to reimburse  the Representatives amounts  up to an
aggregate of $200,000 toward their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with this offering.
 
   
    The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option expiring 30 days after
the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to an additional  480,000
shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts
and  commissions, all  as set forth  on the  cover page of  this Prospectus. The
Underwriters may exercise the option only  to cover over-allotments, if any,  in
the  sale of  shares of Common  Stock in this  offering. To the  extent that the
Underwriters exercise their option, each Underwriter will be committed,  subject
to   certain  conditions,  to  purchase  a  number  of  such  additional  shares
proportionate to such Underwriter's initial commitment.
    
 
   
    Bristol-Myers has agreed to purchase from the Company in a private placement
on the closing of this offering $5,000,000 of Common Stock at the initial public
offering price (333,333  shares, assuming  an initial public  offering price  of
$15.00  per  share).  Bristol-Myers, which  is  an existing  stockholder  of the
Company, has agreed not to sell, offer  for sale, contract to sell or  otherwise
dispose  of any  shares of  Common Stock or  any securities  convertible into or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock or any rights to acquire Common Stock for
a period of 180 days after the  date this Prospectus, without the prior  written
consent of Allen & Company Incorporated, on behalf of the Underwriters.
    
 
    The  Company  has  agreed,  and the  Underwriters  have  requested  that the
officers, directors and shareholders  of the Company agree,  not to sell,  offer
for sale, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
 
                                       50

any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of Common Stock or any rights to acquire Common Stock for a period of 180
days  after the date this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of Allen
& Company Incorporated, on behalf of the Underwriters.
 
    The Company  and  the Underwriters  have  agreed to  indemnify  one  another
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
    Prior  to this  offering, there  has been  no public  market for  the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price will be negotiated between the  Company
and  the Representatives. Among the factors  to be considered in determining the
initial public offering price of the Common Stock, in addition to the prevailing
market  conditions,  will  be  the  Company's  historical  performance,  capital
structure,  estimates of  the business potential  and earnings  prospects of the
Company, an  assessment of  the Company's  management and  consideration of  the
above  factors  in  relation  to  market  values  of  the  companies  in related
businesses. The Representatives have informed the Company that the  Underwriters
do   not  intend  to  confirm  sales   to  accounts  over  which  they  exercise
discretionary authority.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Board of Directors
EntreMed, Inc.
 
    We  have audited  the accompanying  balance sheets  of EntreMed,  Inc. as of
December  31,  1994  and  1995,  and  the  related  statements  of   operations,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows  for each of the  three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements  are the responsibility  of
the  Company's management. Our responsibility is  to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles used  and  significant estimates  made  by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial  statements referred to above present  fairly,
in  all material respects, the financial  position of EntreMed, Inc. at December
31, 1994 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for  each
of  the three years  in the period  ended December 31,  1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    EntreMed,  Inc. (the  "Company") is  engaged primarily  in the  research and
development of biopharmaceutical  products that  address the role  of blood  and
blood  vessels in the prevention and treatment of a broad range of diseases. The
Company's core technologies include (i)  an antiangiogenesis program focused  on
the  development of proprietary products intended to inhibit the abnormal growth
the new blood vessels associated with cancer and certain causes of blindness and
(ii) a blood cell permeation device designed to enhance the ability of red blood
cells to deliver  oxygen to organs  and tissues and  which may also  be used  to
deliver  drugs,  genes  or other  therapeutic  agents that  otherwise  would not
readily diffuse through blood cell membranes.
 
    The Company's strategy is to accelerate development of its  antiangiogenesis
and  cell permeation technologies as well  as other promising technologies which
the Company perceives to have  clinical and commercial potential. The  principal
elements  of the Company's  strategy are (i)  to focus its  resources on current
core technologies, (ii) to broaden its product and technology portfolio  through
sponsored   research  collaborations  with   academic  institutions,  government
organizations and private enterprises, (iii) to augment product development with
its in-house  research and  development capabilities  and (iv)  to leverage  its
resources  through corporate partnerships  in order to minimize  the cost to the
Company of  late-stage  clinical  trials and  to  accelerate  effective  product
commercialization.   All  of  the  Company's  product  candidiates  are  in  the
development  stage  and  require  further  research,  development,  testing  and
regulatory clearances.
 
    The  Company was organized  in September 1991 as  a Delaware corporation and
from inception through December 1995 was  in the development stage. In  December
1995,  the Company  and Bristol-Myers  Squibb Company  ("Bristol-Myers") entered
into a  collaboration  to  develop and  commercialize  certain  antiangiogenesis
therapeutics  (see  Note  6).  The Company  received  approximately  50%  of its
revenues from Bristol-Myers in 1995  and expects this concentration to  increase
in future years.
 
    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
    Research   and  development  expenses  consist  of  independent  proprietary
research and development costs, the  costs associated with work performed  under
collaborative  research  agreements  and  the  Company's  sponsored  funding  of
research programs  performed  by  others. Research  and  development  costs  are
expensed as incurred.
 
    PATENT COSTS
 
   
    Costs  incurred in filing, prosecuting  and maintaining patents are expensed
as incurred. Such costs aggregated approximately $356,400, $455,800 and $454,600
in 1993,  1994 and  1995, respectively,  and $100,555  (unaudited) and  $109,834
(unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
    
 
    FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Furniture  and equipment are  stated at cost and  are depreciated over their
expected useful lives of five years. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line
basis. Amortization associated with capital  leases is included in  depreciation
expense.
 
    CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Cash  equivalents  include  cash and  short-term  investments  with original
maturities of less than 90 days.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    INCOME TAXES
 
    Income taxes have  been provided  using the liability  method in  accordance
with FASB Statement No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
   
    Revenues  related  to grants  received  for specific  project  proposals are
recognized in  revenue  as  earned  in  accordance  with  specified  provisions,
including   performance  requirements,  in  the   contracts.  Revenue  from  the
collaborative research and development agreement mentioned in Note 6 is recorded
when earned as  defined under  the terms  of the  agreement. Nonrefundable  fees
received  upon contract signing are recorded  as deferred revenue and recognized
over the  term  of  the  agreement. Other  periodic  research  funding  payments
received  which are related to future performance are deferred and recognized as
income when earned.
    
 
   
    UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
 
   
    The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and for
the three month  periods ended March  31, 1995  and 1996 have  been prepared  in
accordance  with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial
information. Accordingly, such financial  statements do not  include all of  the
information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals) considered  necessary  for  a fair
presentation have been  included. Operating results  for the three-month  period
ended  March 31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.
    
 
   
    PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)
    
 
   
    The March 31, 1996 unaudited pro forma balance sheet reflects the  automatic
conversion  of 3,000,000  outstanding shares  of preferred  stock into 2,000,000
shares of common  stock upon  the effective  date of  a public  offering of  the
Company's common stock.
    
 
    NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
    Net  loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Pursuant  to Securities  and Exchange  Commission Staff  Accounting
Bulletin No. 83, common and convertible preferred stock issued for consideration
below  the assumed initial public offering price of $15.00 and stock options and
warrants issued with exercise prices  below the assumed initial public  offering
price  during  the  twelve-month  period preceding  the  initial  filing  of the
registration statement, have been included in the calculation of common  shares,
using  the treasury stock  method, as if  they were outstanding  for all periods
prior to the effective date of the initial public offering.
 
   
    Pro forma net loss per share and weighted average shares outstanding for the
year ended December 31,  1995 and the  three month period  ended March 31,  1996
give  effect  to the  automatic conversion  of  3,000,000 outstanding  shares of
preferred stock into 2,000,000 shares of common stock upon the effective date of
a public offering of the Company's common stock.
    
 
    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
    The Company accounts for  stock options in accordance  with APB Opinion  No.
25,  ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES. Under APB No. 25, no compensation
expense is recognized for stock or stock options issued at fair market value.

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION ("SFAS 123"), which provides an
alternative to APB No. 25 in  accounting for stock based compensation issued  to
employees.  SFAS 123 provides  for a fair  value based method  of accounting for
employee stock options  and similar equity  instruments. However, for  companies
that continue to account for stock based compensation arrangements under APB No.
25,  SFAS 123  requires disclosure  of the  pro forma  effect on  net income and
earnings per share as if the fair value based method prescribed by SFAS 123  had
been  applied.  The  disclosure  requirements  are  effective  for  fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1995, or upon initial adoption of the statement, if
earlier. The Company plans to continue  to account for stock based  compensation
arrangements  under  APB No.  25 and  plans  to adopt  the pro  forma disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123 in 1996.

    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions that affect  the amounts  reported in the  financial statements  and
accompanying  notes. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates,
and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
 
   
2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    
    During 1995,  the  Company  borrowed  approximately  $510,000  from  related
parties,  of which  $162,916 was  borrowed from a  director of  the Company, and
issued its  notes payable  at 9%  interest. Upon  receipt of  proceeds from  the
collaborative  research  and  development  agreement mentioned  in  Note  6, the
Company paid the notes and accrued interest.

5.  SPONSORED RESEARCH PROGRAM AGREEMENTS
   
    During 1994 and 1995, the Company entered into several agreements to sponsor
external research  programs. The  Company's  primary external  research  program
agreement  was entered  into in September  1993 with the  Children's Hospital in
Boston,  Massachusetts,  an  entity  affiliated  with  Harvard  Medical   School
("Children's  Hospital"). Under  this sponsored  research agreement  the Company
agreed to pay Children's Hospital $11,000,000 to support research on the role of
angiogenesis in pathological conditions.  In accordance with  the terms of  this
sponsored  research agreement, $4,000,000 has been paid as of December 31, 1995,
$1,000,000 is due on April 1, 1996 and the remainder is due in equal semi-annual
payments until  April  1, 1999.  This  sponsored research  agreement  gives  the
Company   an   exclusive   option   to   negotiate   an   exclusive,  worldwide,
royalty-bearing license  to  any  technology  resulting  from  the  research  at
Children's  Hospital in  areas covered by  the agreement. Amounts  due under the
sponsored research agreement  with Children's Hospital,  which is cancelable  by
the Company upon six months' notice, are paid in advance each six months and are
expensed as incurred as research and development costs. As of December 31, 1995,
the Company's total commitments for external research programs are as follows:

6.  COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
    
    In December 1995, the Company and Bristol-Myers entered into a collaboration
to   develop  and  commercialize  certain  antiangiogenesis  therapeutics.  This
collaboration provides  for  Bristol-Myers  to fund  Company  research,  provide
milestone payments to the Company, and pay the Company royalties on net sales of
any  products developed under the collaboration.  In return, the Company granted
Bristol-Myers exclusive  worldwide  rights  to  antiangiogenic  applications  of
thalidomide, thalidomide analogs and Angiostatin protein.
 
    Bristol-Myers  is obligated  under the  Bristol-Myers collaboration  to fund
$18.35 million over five years for costs  to be incurred by the Company  related
to specified research and development. The Company may receive an additional $32
million  if  the Company  attains  certain late-stage  clinical  development and
regulatory filing milestones under the Bristol-Myers collaboration, a portion of
which  will  be  credited  against  royalties.  In  addition  to  this  funding,
Bristol-Myers   has  committed  to  fund   $730,000  for  clinical  studies  and
ophthalmological trials. Bristol-Myers may terminate this collaboration for  any
reason  with  six months  notice,  in which  event  Bristol-Myers would  have no
further funding obligation to  the Company. In the  event Bristol-Myers were  to
terminate  the  Bristol-Myers collaboration  or  otherwise fail  to  conduct its
collaborative activities successfully  and in a  timely manner, the  preclinical
and   clinical  development  or  commercialization  of  the  Company's  licensed
antiangiogenesis product candidates would be delayed or terminated.
 
    The Company received  a non-refundable, non-creditable  licensing fee of  $1
million  in 1995  under the Bristol-Myers  collaboration and  an additional $2.5
million on March  31, 1996 in  recognition of certain  research and  development
efforts  of the Company. These amounts were recorded as deferred revenue and are
being recognized  over  five  years,  the  initial  term  of  the  collaboration
agreement.

    Concurrent  with the signing of the Bristol-Myers collaboration, the Company
issued Bristol-Myers 541,666 shares of common stock for aggregate cash  proceeds
of $6,500,000. Bristol-Myers also agreed to purchase $5,000,000 (333,333 shares,
assuming  an initial  public offering price  of $15.00 per  share) of additional
common stock of the Company at the initial public offering price if and when the
Company completes an initial public offering  in the future and was granted  the
right  to purchase an additional $10,000,000 of  Company common stock at 150% of
the initial public offering  price (444,444 shares,  assuming an initial  public
offering  price of $15.00 per share) from the Company at any time up to one year
from the effective date of the initial public offering.
 
   
    During 1995, the  Company recognized approximately  $347,000 in revenue  and
incurred  costs  of  approximately  $500,000  related  to  the  above  described

ended  March 31, 1996, the Company  recognized $1,092,500 (unaudited) in revenue
and incurred costs of $1,351,930 (unaudited) under this agreement.
    
 
7.  SALE-LEASEBACK AGREEMENT
    During 1995, the Company  entered into a  sale-leaseback agreement which  is
accounted  for as a capital  lease. The lessor agreed  to purchase the Company's
equipment and also assumed and exercised the Company's purchase option on  other
leased equipment. The Company agreed to lease-back the equipment over an initial
term  of two  years with  annual renewal  options in  years three  and four. The
Company has the option to purchase the equipment at fair market value at the end
of years two and three. If the option is not exercised the Company must purchase
all equipment at fair market value at  the end of year four. In connection  with
the  agreement, the  Company granted  the lessor  warrants for  33,334 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $6.38 per share.

8.  INCOME TAXES
    At December 31, 1995,  the Company has net  operating loss carryforwards  of
approximately  $17,100,000 for  income tax  purposes that  expire in  years 2006
through  2010.  The  Company  also  has  research  and  development  tax  credit
carryforwards  of  approximately $1,239,000  that expire  in years  2007 through
2010. The utilization  of the net  operating loss and  research and  development
carryforwards  may be limited in future years due to changes in ownership of the
Company pursuant to Internal Revenue  Code Section 382. For financial  reporting
purposes,  a valuation allowance has been  recognized to reduce the net deferred
tax assets to zero due to uncertainties with respect to the Company's ability to
generate taxable  income in  the future  sufficient to  realize the  benefit  of
deferred income tax assets.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995
 
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    Financial  instruments that  potentially subject the  Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist  principally of cash and cash  equivalents
and account receivable.
 
    The  Company  maintains cash  and  cash equivalents  with  various financial
institutions. The Company's policy is to limit exposure to any one  institution.
The account receivable is due from Bristol-Myers.
 
    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
        CASH  AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  The carrying amount reported in the balance
    sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair values.
 
        ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE:  The carrying amounts  reported
    in  the  balance  sheet  for the  account  receivable  and  accounts payable
    approximate their fair values.
 
        CAPITAL LEASE PAYABLE:  The fair value of the Company's capital lease is
    estimated using  discounted  cash  flow analysis,  based  on  the  Company's
    current   incremental  borrowing  rates  for   similar  types  of  borrowing
    arrangements. The  carrying amount  reported in  the balance  sheet for  the
    capital lease payable approximates its fair value.
 
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
   
    The Company is a party to certain litigation initiated in August 1995 in the
United  States District Court for the  Eastern District of Tennessee by Bolling,
McCool & Twist,  a consulting firm.  The suit  relates to a  claim for  services
rendered  in the  approximate amount of  $50,000 and  seek a finder's  fee in an
unspecified amount in  connection with the  Bristol-Myers collaboration. Due  to
the  lack of discovery and early stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable
to predict  with certainty  the eventual  outcome of  the lawsuit.  The  Company
intends  to contest the action vigorously and believes that this proceeding will
not have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company  or  on  its  financial
statements.
    
 
    The  Company  is  obligated to  make  annual license  agreement  payments of
$40,000 to a  director of the  Company for certain  rights to technologies.  The
payments began on June 4, 1992 and conclude on June 4, 1996.
 
    In May 1994, the Company entered into a license agreement, which was amended
in  1995, whereby  the Company gained  the rights  to make, use,  lease and sell
licensed  products  developed  by  Children's  Hospital.  In  consideration  for
receiving  the rights, the Company must pay  a royalty on any sublicensing fees,
as defined  in  the agreement,  to  Children's  Hospital. The  Company  is  also
required  to pay certain amounts upon  the attainment of certain milestones. The
milestone payments  aggregate $2,650,000,  of which  $290,000 has  been paid  to
date, and are based upon license fees and achievement of regulatory approvals.
 
    In  addition, the license  agreement requires the  Company to pay Children's
Hospital a specified percentage of the royalty income received on the first $100
million in  net sales  of the  licensed products,  and an  increased  percentage
thereafter,  with a minimum  payment based on  a percentage of  net sales of the
licensed products by any sublicensees.
 
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
    On March 29, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-three
reverse stock split of the common stock to be effective, subject to  stockholder
approval, retroactively to the date of inception (September 18, 1991). Upon such
effectiveness,   the  conversion  ratio  of  the  convertible  preferred  stock,
previously one-for-one, will be adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. All
common stock, option information, weighted average shares and earnings per share
information has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

Organs and tissues in the body require oxygen to function properly. Inositol 
hexophosphate (IHP), a naturally occurring plant chemical, may enhance the 
oxygen releasing capabilities of red blood cells. This schematic illustrates 
IHP-treated red blood cells. EntreMed is developing a cell permeation 
technology to deliver IHP into red blood cells and which may also be used to 
deliver drugs, genes or other therapeutic agents that otherwise would  not 
readily diffuse through blood cell membranes.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
    The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Registrant provides that
the  Company shall  indemnify any  person to  the full  extent permitted  by the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL").  Section 145 of the GCL,  relating
to indemnification, is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
 
    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities under  the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Company  pursuant
to  the Company's By-laws and the  Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company
has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.
 
    The   Company's  Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation  includes  certain
provisions permitted pursuant to Delaware law whereby officers and directors  of
the  Company are  to be indemnified  against certain  liabilities. The Company's
Restated Certificate  of  Incorporation  also  limits,  to  the  fullest  extent
permitted  by  Delaware law,  a director's  liability  for monetary  damages for
breach of fiduciary duty, including  gross negligence, except liability for  (i)
breach  of the director's  duty of loyalty,  (ii) acts or  omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law,
(iii) the  unlawful  payment  of  a  dividend  or  unlawful  stock  purchase  or
redemption  and (iv) any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit. Delaware law does not eliminate a director's duty of care  and
this  provision has no effect on the  availability of equitable remedies such as
injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of the duty of care.
 
    In accordance  with  Section  102(a)(7)  of  the  GCL,  the  Certificate  of
Incorporation  of the Registrant eliminates  the personal liability of directors
to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of  fiduciary
duty  as  a  director  with  certain limited  exceptions  set  forth  in Section
102(a)(7).
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
    The Registrant also  intends to enter  into indemnification agreements  with
each  of its  executive officers and  directors, the  form of which  is filed as
Exhibit 10.16 hereto and reference is hereby made to such form.
 
    Reference is made to Section 6  of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit  1.1)
which  provides for indemnification  by the Underwriters  of the Registrant, its
officers and directors.
 
ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
    The following  discussion  gives  retroactive effect  to  the  two-for-three

Securities Act.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
    UNDERTAKINGS REQUIRED BY REGULATION S-K, ITEM 512(F).
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes  to provide to the  Underwriter
at  the closing  specified in  the Underwriting  Agreement certificates  in such
denominations and registered  in such names  as required by  the Underwriter  to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
    UNDERTAKING REQUIRED BY REGULATION S-K, ITEM 512(H).
 
    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be  permitted to directors, officers  or controlling persons of  the
registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing provisions, or  otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the  opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification is against public  policy as expressed in  the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the registrant in  the
successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has  been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification by it is against  public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
 
    UNDERTAKINGS REQUIRED BY REGULATION S-K, ITEM 512(I).
 
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1)For  purposes of  determining any liability  under the  Securities Act of
       1933, as amended,  the information  omitted from the  form of  prospectus
filed  as part  of this  Registration Statement in  reliance upon  Rule 430A and
contained in the  form of prospectus  filed by the  Registrant pursuant to  Rule
424(b)(1)  or (4) or 497 (h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2)For purposes of  determining any  liability under the  Securities Act  of
       1933,  each post-effective amendment  that contains a  form of prospectus
shall be deemed to  be a new registration  statement relating to the  securities
offered  therein, and  the offering  of such  securities at  that time  shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

ALLEN & COMPANY INCORPORATED
DILLON, READ & CO. INC.
VOLPE, WELTY & COMPANY
  As Representatives of the Several 
  Underwriters
c/o Allen & Company Incorporated
711 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York  10022

Dear Sirs:

          EntreMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby 
confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters named in schedule A 
hereto (the "Underwriters"), for which you are acting as representatives (the 
"Representatives"), as follows:

     1.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.  The Company has authorized by 
appropriate corporate action and proposes to issue and sell to the 
Underwriters its shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value.  As further 
described in Section 3 hereof, 3,500,000 of such shares (the "Purchased 
Shares") are being sold by the Company to the Underwriters and the Company is 
granting to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 525,000 additional 
shares (the "Option Shares").  The Purchased Shares and Option Shares are 
herein collectively referred to as the "Shares".

     2.   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY.  The 
Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each Underwriter that:

          (a)  A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-3536) with 
respect to the Shares, including a preliminary form of prospectus, copies of 
which have heretofore been delivered to you, has been prepared by the Company 
in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended 
(the "Act"), and the rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Act, and 
has been filed with the Commission under the Act; such amendment or 
amendments to such registration statement, copies of which have heretofore 
been delivered to you, as may have been made prior to the date of this 
Agreement have been so prepared and filed; and the Company has so prepared 
and proposes so to file in a timely manner after the effective date of such 
registration statement the final form of prospectus.  Such registration 
statement (including all exhibits thereto), as finally amended and revised as 
of the time the Underwriters first offer the Shares for sale to the public 
together with information, if any, which is permitted to be, and is, 
subsequently filed pursuant to Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, is 
herein referred to as the "Registration Statement". Such prospectus in the 
form filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, or, if no 
final prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), in 
such form as such final prospectus is included in the Registration Statement, 
is herein referred to as the "Prospectus".  Each preliminary form of 
prospectus is herein referred to as a "Preliminary Prospectus".

          (b)  The Commission has not issued any order preventing or 
suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus.  At the time of filing of 
each Preliminary Prospectus, such prospectus did not include any untrue 
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to 
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they 
were made, not misleading.  When the Registration Statement was declared 
effective and at all times subsequent thereto up to and at each Closing Date 
(hereinafter defined) (i) the Registration Statement did and will in all 
material respects conform to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and 
Regulations, and (ii) the Registration Statement did not or will not include 
as of its date any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.  When 
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the 
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (or, if the Prospectus or such amendment 
or supplement is not required to be so filed, when the Registration Statement 
or the amendment thereto containing such amendment or supplement to the 
Prospectus was or is declared effective), on the date when the Prospectus is 
otherwise amended or supplemented and on each Closing Date (as hereinafter 
defined), the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at any such time, (i) 
complied or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 
Act and the Rules and Regulations and (ii) did not or will not include any 
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact 
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the 
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The foregoing 
representations and warranties shall not apply to information contained in or 
omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such 
amendment or supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written 
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter for 
use in the preparation thereof.

          (c)  Except as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus, 
subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the 
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company has not incurred any 
direct or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, contingent material 
liabilities or material obligations, or entered into any material 
transactions or contracts not in the ordinary course of business, and there 
has not been any material change in its capital shares, options or warrants, 
nor any material increase or decrease in the amount thereof outstanding or in 
any of its long-term debt outstanding, except pursuant to the terms of the 
instruments governing the same, or any material adverse change in the 
condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, business or 
prospects of the Company.

          (d)  Except as set forth in the Prospectus, there is not now 
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, any action, suit or 
proceeding to which the Company is a party before any court or governmental 
or regulatory agency or body which could reasonably be expected to result in 
any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), 
results of operations, business or prospects of the Company, or could 
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties, 
assets or ability to do business as contemplated in the Prospectus of the 
Company; and there are no contracts or documents required to be filed as 
exhibits to the Registration Statement by the Act or by the Rules and 
Regulations which have not been filed as exhibits to the Registration 
Statement.  

          (e)  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and 
delivered on behalf of the Company and constitutes a valid and binding 
agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except 
(1) that such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, 
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect 
relating to creditors' rights and (2) as rights to indemnity or contribution 
hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws; the execution, 
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the 
transactions herein contemplated will not result in a breach or violation of 
any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, (i) any currently 
existing statute, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement or 
other agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration 
Statement or any other material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note or 
agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or 
by which it or its property is bound; (ii) the charter or by-laws of the 
Company; or (iii) any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental 
agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or over its properties; 
no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental 
agency or body is required for the consummation by the Company of the 
transactions on its part herein contemplated, except such as have been 
obtained or such as may be required under the Act or as may be required under 
state or other securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase 
and distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters; and the Company is not in 
material default, and no event has occurred which with the giving of notice 
or lapse of time or both would be a default, under any contract, agreement, 
indenture, mortgage or other undertaking to which the Company is a party and 
which is material to the condition (financial or otherwise), results of 
operations, business or prospects of the Company.

          (f)  The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing 
as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its 
incorporation, with full power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to own 
its properties and conduct its business as described and contemplated in the 
Registration Statement, and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign 
corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions where its operations 
or ownership of property requires such qualifications, except where failure 
so to qualify would not have a material effect on the Company.

          (g)  The Company has the authorized and outstanding capital stock 
set forth in the Prospectus; the outstanding capital stock of the Company 
conforms, and the Shares when issued and sold as herein contemplated will 
conform, in all material respects, to all statements in relation thereto 
contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all such stock 
has been duly authorized and the outstanding capital stock has been and the 
Shares, when issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided 
herein, will be validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable; except as 
stated in the Prospectus, the stockholders of the Company have no preemptive 
rights with respect to the Shares and there are no outstanding rights, 
options or warrants to acquire any securities of the Company; to the extent 
that any rights, options or warrants to acquire any securities of the Company 
are outstanding, except as otherwise set forth in the Prospectus, the 
issuance of the Shares as described in the Prospectus will not result in an 
adjustment of the exercise price or number of shares issuable upon the 
exercise in respect of any such rights, options or warrants; and, except as 
otherwise set forth in the Prospectus, the Company does not own (directly or 
indirectly) any shares of capital stock of any subsidiaries.

          (h)  Except as otherwise set forth in the Prospectus, the Company 
owns, possesses or has rights to, or can acquire on reasonable terms, 
adequate patents, patent applications, patent licenses, trademarks, service 
marks and trade names necessary to carry on its business as presently 
conducted, and except as set forth in the Prospectus, the Company has not 
received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of 
others with respect to any patents, patent licenses, trademarks, service 
marks or trade names which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an 
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could materially and adversely 
affect the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, affairs, business or 
prospects of the Company.

          (i)  Except as set forth in the Prospectus, the Company holds in 
good standing or has applied for all licenses, permits, authorizations, 
franchises, consents and orders of all federal, state, local, and foreign 
governmental bodies that are material to the conduct of its business as 
presently conducted as described in the Prospectus; except as stated in the 
Prospectus, the Company has good and marketable title in fee simple to all 
real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by 
it, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects with 
such exceptions as are not material to the Company; and the real property and 
personal property referred to in the Prospectus as held under lease by the 
Company is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with 
only such exceptions as are referred to in the Prospectus or as in the 
aggregate are not material to the conduct of its business as presently 
conducted as described in the Prospectus.

          (j)  The Company is conducting and proposes to conduct its business 
so as to comply in all material respects with all material applicable 
federal, state, local and foreign governmental statutes, rules and 
regulations; and except as set forth in the Prospectus, the Company is not 
charged with, or to the Company's knowledge, is under investigation with 
respect to, any violation of any of such statutes, rules or regulations.

          (k)  The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial 
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are 
prudent and customary in the business in which it is engaged; and, the 
Company does not have any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew 
its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to 
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue 
its business at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the 
business or financial condition of the Company, except as described or 
contemplated in the Prospectus.

          (l)  Ernst & Young LLP, which has examined and expressed its 
opinion on certain of the financial statements of the Company filed with the 
Commission as a part of the Registration Statement, are, to the Company's 
best knowledge, independent accountants with respect to the Company within 
the meaning of the Act and the Rules and Regulations; the financial 
statements, together with the related notes, forming part of the Registration 
Statement and Prospectus fairly present the financial condition of the 
Company and its results of operations as of the dates and for the periods 
described in such opinion in the Prospectus; and such financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the 
Commission.

          (m)  The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls 
sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that transactions are executed in 
accordance with management's general or specific authorizations and are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

          (n)  Except as stated in the Prospectus, the Company knows of no 
outstanding claims for services, either in the nature of a finder's fee or 
origination fee, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and 
the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Underwriters harmless from any 
such claim for any such services of such nature arising from the act of any 
person other than any Underwriter or person acting on behalf of any 
Underwriter.

          (o)  No person holds a right to require or participate in the 
registration under the Act of the Common Stock of the Company to be effected 
by the Registration Statement, which right has not been effectively waived by 
the holder thereof as of the date hereof.

          (p)  The Company has obtained from each of its officers and 
directors, and from each of its shareholders owning in excess of [1%] of the 
shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the 
offering contemplated hereby, and will use its best efforts to obtain from 
each of its other shareholders, an executed agreement in form and substance 
satisfactory to the Representatives that they will not, without the prior 
written consent of Allen & Company Incorporated on behalf of the 
Underwriters, sell, offer for sale, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of 
any shares of the Company's Common Stock or any securities exercisable for or 
convertible into its Common Stock or any rights to acquire Common Stock for a 
period of 180 days from the date of the final Prospectus.

     3.   PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF SHARES.  On the basis of the 
representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to 
the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each 
Underwriter and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to 
purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $______ per Share, the 
number of Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule 
A hereto.

          The Company will deliver the Purchased Shares to you for the 
accounts of the several Underwriters at the office of Allen & Company

purchase price therefor by certified or official bank check or checks in New 
York Clearing House funds, payable to the order of EntreMed, Inc., at 10:00 
A.M., New York Time, on ____________, 1996 or at such other time and date not 
later than five full business days thereafter as you and the Company may 
determine, such time and date of delivery and payment being herein called the 
"First Closing Date".  The certificates for the Purchased Shares to be so 
delivered will be made available to you at such office for checking at least 
one full business day prior to such Closing Date and will be in such names 
and denominations as you may request in writing not less than two full 
business days prior to such Closing Date.

          On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements 
herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, 
the Company grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 525,000 
Option Shares at the same price per share as the Underwriters shall pay for 
the Purchased Shares. Such option may be exercised only to cover 
over-allotments arising in connection with the sale of Purchased Shares by 
the Underwriters, such exercise to be upon written notice by you to the 
Company within 30 days of the date hereof setting forth the number of Options 
Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option, the 
denominations and names in which certificates for such Shares should be 
registered and the time and place at which such certificates are to be 
delivered.  Such time and place (unless such time is the First Closing Date), 
herein referred to as the "Second Closing Date", shall be determined by you 
but shall not be earlier than the First Closing Date, nor earlier than three 
full business days or later than ten full business days after the exercise of 
such option.  The Company will deliver Option Shares to you for the accounts 
of the several Underwriters against payment of the purchase price therefor by 
certified or official bank check or checks in New York Clearing House funds 
payable to the order of EntreMed, Inc.  The number of Option Shares to be 
purchased by each Underwriter shall be in the same proportion to the 
aggregate number of Option Shares purchased as the number of Purchased Shares 
set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto bears to 
3,500,000.

          It is understood that you, individually and not as the 
Representatives of the several Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated 
to) make payment on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for Shares to 
be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters.  Any such payment by you 
shall not relieve any such Underwriter or Underwriters of any of its or their 
obligations hereunder.

          After the Registration Statement becomes effective, the several 
Underwriters propose to offer the Shares to the public as set forth in the 
Prospectus.

     4.   COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.  The Company covenants and agrees with 
the several Underwriters that:

          (a)  The Company will use its best efforts to cause the 
Registration Statement and any subsequent amendment thereto to become 
effective as promptly as possible; it will notify you, promptly after it 
shall receive notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement or 
any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective 
or any supplement to the Prospectus has been filed; it will notify you 
promptly of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing 
of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; it 
will prepare and file with the Commission any amendments or supplements to 
the Registration Statement or Prospectus which, in your reasonable opinion or 
the reasonable opinion of the Company or its counsel, may be necessary in 
connection with the distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters; it will 
promptly prepare and file with the Commission, and promptly notify you of the 
filing of, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or 
Prospectus which may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions, if, 
at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be 
delivered under the Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which 
the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light 
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; in case any 
Underwriter is required to deliver a prospectus after the nine-month period 
referred to in Section 10(a)(3) of the Act in connection with sales of the 
Shares purchased by the Underwriters from the Company pursuant to Section 3 
or otherwise acquired by the Underwriters during the distribution of the 
Shares in connection with stabilization or otherwise, the Company will 
prepare and file with the Commission promptly upon request of, but at the 
expense of, such Underwriter, any amendments or supplements to the 
Registration Statement or Prospectus as may be necessary, in such 
Underwriter's reasonable opinion, to permit the sale of such Shares in the 
manner determined by such Underwriter, in compliance with the requirements of 
the Act, including Section 10(a)(3) thereunder; and it will file no amendment 
or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that shall not 
previously have been submitted to you in writing a reasonable time prior to 
the proposed filing thereof or to which you shall reasonably object in 
writing, except as may be required by law. 

          (b)  The Company will advise you, promptly after it shall receive 
notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any 
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of 
any order suspending trading in the Shares or other of the Company's 
securities or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose; 
and it will use promptly its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop 
order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued.

          (c)  The Company will use its best efforts to qualify the Shares for
sale under the blue sky or securities laws of such jurisdictions as you may
reasonably designate and to continue such qualifications in effect for so long
as may be required for purposes of the distribution of the Shares, except that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereof to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to
service of process in any state.

          (d)  The Company will furnish to you, as soon as available, copies of
the Registration Statement (one of which will be signed and will include all
exhibits), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, and any amendments or
supplements to such documents, including any prospectus prepared to permit
compliance with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act, all in such quantities as you may
from time to time reasonably request.

          (e)  The Company will make generally available to its security holders
as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which will be in reasonable
detail but need not be audited) covering a 12-month period beginning after the
effective date of the Registration Statement which shall satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Act.

          (f)  The Company agrees, during each fiscal year for a period of five
years from the date hereof, to furnish to its stockholders as promptly as may be
practicable an annual report (including financial statements audited by
independent public accountants) and to furnish quarterly financial statements
(which need not be audited) for each of the first three quarters of each fiscal
year, and to furnish, upon request, to each Underwriter hereunder (i) as soon as
practicable after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal
year, the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q or statements of operations of
the Company for such quarter in reasonable detail and certified by the Company's
principal financial or accounting officer; (ii) as soon as practicable after the
end of each fiscal year, financial statements of the Company as at the end of
such fiscal year, including statements of operations, retained earnings and
changes in cash flow of the Company for such fiscal year, all in reasonable
detail and accompanied by a copy of the report thereon of independent public
accountants or the Company's annual report on Form 10-K; and (iii) as soon as
they are available, copies of all reports and financial statements filed with
the Commission.  During such period, if and so long as the Company shall have
active subsidiaries, the foregoing financial statements shall be on a combined
or consolidated basis to the extent that the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries are combined or consolidated.

          (g)  The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters 
that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following:  (i) the fees, 
disbursements, and expenses of the Company's counsel and accountants in 
connection with the registration of the Shares under the Act; (ii) all other 
expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, and filing of the 
Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, and the Prospectus and 
amendments and supplements thereto, and the mailing and delivering of copies 
thereof to the Underwriters and dealers; (iii) the cost of printing this 
Agreement, the Selected Dealer Agreement, the Blue Sky Memorandum, and any 
other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery 
of the Shares; (iv) all costs and expenses in connection with the issuance 
and delivery of the Shares hereunder to the Underwriters, including related 
transfer taxes, if any; (v) all expenses in connection with the qualification 
of the Shares for offering and sale under the securities laws of various 
jurisdictions, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the 
Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the 
Blue Sky Survey; (vi) the filing fees incident to securing any required 
review by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. of the terms 
of the sale of the Shares; (vii) the costs of preparing stock certificates; 
(viii) the cost and charges of any transfer agent or registrar; and (ix) all 
other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations 
hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 
4.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the 
Underwriters, upon request from time to time, for their reasonable itemized 
out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of $200,000, including their 
reasonable legal fees and disbursements and travel, roadshow and syndicate 
expenses, upon the presentation of reasonable documentation thereof.  If the 
Company determines not to proceed with the offering for any reason, other 
than the Underwriters' unwillingness to proceed on the terms and conditions 
set forth in this Agreement, or if the Representatives exercise their right 
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) hereof, the Company 
shall reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses 
including reasonable legal fees and disbursements and travel, roadshow and 
syndicate expenses actually incurred by the Underwriters, upon the 
presentation of reasonable documentation thereof, up to a maximum of 
$300,000.  The Company shall not in any event be liable to any of the 
Underwriters for the loss of anticipated profits from the transactions 
covered by this Agreement.

          (h)  The Company agrees that it will not, without the prior written
consent of the Allen & Company Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters, sell,
offer for sale, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of its
Common Stock or any securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of its
Common Stock or any rights to acquire Common Stock, for a period of 180 days
after the date of the final Prospectus, otherwise than in accordance with this
Agreement or as contemplated in the Prospectus; provided, that the Company may
issue Common Stock, or options, rights or warrants with respect thereto, (i)
upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding on the date hereof,
(ii) pursuant to stock option plans of the Company existing on the date hereof,
to persons who have received, or who are eligible to receive, grants of such
options and (iii) not to exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock as of the First Closing Date, in connection with any new bona
fide research, licensing or corporate partnering relationships and equipment
lease transactions.  In addition, the Company also agrees to obtain the written
agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, of each of
its officers and directors, and each of its shareholders owning in excess of
[1%] of the shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Company agrees to use best efforts
to obtain the written agreement of each of its other shareholders, that such
person will not, without such prior written consent, sell, offer for sale,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of such Common Stock or any
securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of its Common Stock or any
rights to acquire Common Stock held by such holder for a period of 180 days
after the date of the final Prospectus.

     5.   CONDITIONS OF UNDERWRITERS' OBLIGATIONS.  The obligations of the
several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Purchased Shares on the First
Closing Date and the Option Shares on the Second Closing Date, as provided
herein shall be subject to the accuracy, as of the date hereof and such Closing

the Company or any Underwriter, threatened by the Commission, and any request of
the Commission for additional information (to be included in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or otherwise) shall have been complied with to your
reasonable satisfaction.

          (b)  Prior to such Closing Date, except as contemplated in the
Prospectus, there shall not have been any change in the capital shares, nor the
issuance of any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any capital shares, nor
any material increase or decrease in any long-term debt of the Company or any
material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations, business or prospects of the Company which in your reasonable
judgment renders it inadvisable to proceed with the offering and sale of the
Shares.

          such counsel need express no opinion as to the financial statements,
          notes to financial statements, related schedules or other financial
          data contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the
          Prospectus);

              (x)   to the best of such counsel's knowledge after due inquiry,
          all contracts and documents pertaining to the Company required to be

          and documents required to be described in the Prospectus have been
          accurately described therein in all material respects; 

              (xi)  Such counsel shall also state that it has participated in
          conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company,
          representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company
          and the representatives of the Underwriters, at which the contents of
          the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were
          discussed and, although such counsel did not independently verify, and
          is not passing upon and does not assume any responsibility for, the
          accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
          Registration Statement and the Prospectus, on the basis of the
          foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon the
          opinions of officers and other representatives of the Company), no
          facts have come to such counsel's attention which lead such counsel to
          believe that the Registration Statement (except with respect to the
          financial statements and schedules thereto and other financial or
          statistical data, as to which such counsel need not make any
          statement) at the time it became effective contained any untrue
          statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus (except with respect to
          the financial statements and schedules thereto and other financial or
          other statistical data, as to which such counsel need not make any
          statement) on the date thereof or on the Closing Date contained any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
          fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
          of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

          Such counsel need express no opinion as to the statements made in the
Prospectus relating to patents or proprietary rights under the captions "Risk
Factors - Dependence on Patents and Other Proprietary Rights; Uncertainty of
Patent Position and Proprietary Rights" and "Business - Patents and Proprietary
Rights" or statements made in the Prospectus relating to government regulatory
matters under the captions "Risk Factors - Uncertainty of Government Regulatory
Requirements; Lengthy Approval Process" and "Business - Government Regulation."

          In rendering the foregoing opinions, such counsel may rely as to
factual matters on certificates of officers and representatives of the Company
and of public officials, and will not be required to independently verify the
accuracy or completeness of information or documents furnished to it in respect
to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.  To the extent that such
counsel's opinion relates to the laws of jurisdictions other than New York or
Delaware, such counsel shall be permitted to rely on the opinion of local
counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the several Underwriters.

          (d)  You shall have received from Jones & Askew, patent counsel to the
Company, an opinion, dated such Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory
to you, to the effect that the statements in the Prospectus under the captions
"Risk Factors -Dependence on Patents and Other Proprietary Rights; Uncertainty
of Patent Position and Proprietary Rights" and "Business - Patents and
Proprietary Rights", insofar as they pertain to legal matters, fairly present in
all material respects the information presented therein.

          (e)  You shall have received from Arnold & Porter, regulatory counsel
to the Company, an opinion, dated such Closing Date, in form and substance

they pertain to legal matters, fairly present in all material respects the
information presented therein.

hereby as you may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to
such counsel such documents as they may have reasonably requested for the
purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

          (g)  You shall have received, at the time of execution of this
Agreement and on such Closing Date from Ernst & Young LLP, independent public
accountants, a letter or letters, dated the date of delivery thereof,
substantially in the form and substance heretofore approved by you.

          (h)  You shall have received a certificate, dated such Closing Date,
of each of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, delivered on behalf of the Company, to the effect that: 

               (i)  the representations and warranties of the Company in this
          Agreement are true and correct as if made on and as of such Closing
          Date; and the Company has complied with all the agreements and

          purpose have been instituted or, to their knowledge, are contemplated
          by the Commission; and

             (iii)  except as contemplated in the Prospectus, the Company has
          not incurred any direct or, to the best of the Company's knowledge,
          contingent material liabilities or obligations, or entered into any
          material transactions or contracts not in the ordinary course of
          business, and there has not been any change in the capital shares of
          the Company, nor the issuance of any rights, options, or warrants to
          purchase any capital shares, nor any material increase or decrease in
          any thereof or in any long-term debt or any material adverse change in
          the condition (financial or otherwise) results of operations, business
          or prospects of the Company.

          (i)  The Company shall have furnished to you such certificates, in
addition to those specifically mentioned herein, as you may have reasonably
requested, as to the accuracy and completeness at such Closing Date of any

each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within
the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may
become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and, subject to Section 6(c), will reimburse each Underwriter and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in the Registration Statement, such Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus
or such amendment or such supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter
for use therein; and provided further, that the foregoing indemnity with respect
to Preliminary Prospectuses shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter
(or to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter) if such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any
Preliminary Prospectus is eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus and a copy of
the Prospectus has not been furnished to the person asserting any such losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities at or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of such Shares to such person.  Such indemnity obligation will be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.  The indemnity
agreement of the Company contained in this paragraph (a) and the representations
and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2 hereof shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the delivery of and
payment for the Shares.

          (b)  Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director,
officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use
therein; and, subject to Section 6(c), will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.  Such indemnity obligation will
be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.  The
indemnity agreement of each Underwriter contained in this paragraph (b) shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the delivery of
and payment for the Shares.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. 
Indemnification shall not be available to any party who shall fail so to give
notice, if the party to whom notice was required to be given was unaware of the
action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to which the notice would
have related, to the extent that such party was prejudiced by the failure to
give notice; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section.  In case any such action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel chosen by
such indemnifying party which is reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not
be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that (i) if the indemnified party reasonably determines that there may be a
conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified
party in conducting the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or
proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified
party different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying
party, then counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the
defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to
protect the interests of the indemnified party and (ii) in any event, the
indemnified party (at its own expense) shall be entitled to have counsel chosen
by such indemnified party participate in, but not conduct, the defense (it being
understood, however, that in either such case, the indemnifying party shall not,
in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys for the indemnified parties).  No indemnifying party shall be liable
to any indemnified party in respect to any settlement effected without its prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In addition,
the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of an
indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be
sought hereunder (whether or not such indemnified party is a party to such
claim, action or suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

     7.  CONTRIBUTION.  In order to provide for contribution in circumstances 
in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof is 
for any reason, other than the first proviso to Section 6(a), held to be 
unavailable, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the 
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities of the nature contemplated 
by such indemnification provisions (including any investigation, legal and 
other expenses incurred in connection with, any amount paid in settlement of, 
any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting 
any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the 
Underwriters, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of 
Section 15 of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration 
Statement and directors of the Company, who may also be liable for 
contribution) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be 
subject, in such proportions so that the Underwriters are responsible for 
that portion in each case represented by the percentage that the respective 
underwriting discounts appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bear to 
the public offering price of the Shares, and the Company is responsible for 
the remaining portion; provided, however, that (i) except as may be provided 
in its Master Agreement Among Underwriters provided to Allen & Company 
Incorporated, in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount 
in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares purchased by 
such Underwriter hereunder and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent 
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be 
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such 
fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 7, each person, 
if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each 
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of 
the Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration 
Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same right to 
contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of 
this Section 7.  Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after 
receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against 
such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against 
another party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties 
from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such 
party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom 
contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have 
hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 7. No party shall be liable 
for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its 
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     8.  REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE DELIVERY.  All 
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company or of the 
Underwriters herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain 
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made 
by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person, the Company, or 
any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, and shall survive 
delivery of the Shares to the several Underwriters hereunder.

     9.  SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS.  If any Underwriter or  Underwriters 
shall fail to take up and pay for the number of  Shares to be purchased by 
such Underwriter or Underwriters  hereunder upon tender of such Shares in 
accordance with the terms hereof, and if the aggregate number of Shares which 
such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters so agreed but failed to  purchase 
does not exceed 10% of the Shares, the remaining  Underwriters shall be 
obligated severally in proportion to their  respective commitments hereunder 
to take up and pay for the  Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or 
Underwriters. If one or  more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse (other 
than for a  reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement)  
to purchase on any Closing Date the aggregate number of Shares  agreed to be 
purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters and  the aggregate number of 
Shares agreed to be purchased by such  Underwriter or Underwriters shall 
exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be sold on any Closing Date 
hereunder by the   Company to the Underwriters, then the other Underwriters 
shall   have the right to purchase or procure one or more other   
underwriters to purchase, in such proportions as they may agree   upon and 
upon the terms herein set forth, the Shares which such  defaulting 
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase, and   this Agreement shall be 
carried out accordingly. If such other   Underwriters do not exercise such 
right within thirty-six hours   after receiving notice of any such default, 
which notice the   Representatives shall have also promptly delivered to the 
Company,  then the Company shall have the right to procure another party or 
parties reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase  or agree 
to purchase such Shares on the terms herein set forth.  If the Company is 
unable to procure another such party, the Company may notify the 
Representatives that the non-defaulting Underwriters are, by the giving of 
such notice, released from their obligations to purchase such number of 
Shares being sold hereunder by the Company as are indicated in such notice 
as, when subtracted from the total number of Shares originally agreed to be 
purchased by all of the Underwriters hereunder, shall leave a reduced number 
of Shares to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters not in excess of 
110% of the aggregate number of Shares originally contracted to be purchased 
hereunder by the non-defaulting Underwriters, and each of them, in which 
event such non-defaulting Underwriters shall purchase such reduced number of 
Shares. In any such case, either the Representatives or the Company shall 
have the right to postpone any Closing Date for a period of not more than 
seven business days in order that necessary changes and arrangements may be 
effected by the Representatives and the Company. If neither the 
non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Company shall make arrangements within 
the period stated for the purchase of the Shares which such defaulting 
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase, including such arrangements 
for the purchase of a reduced number of Shares as are provided for in this 
Section 9, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part 
of any non-defaulting Underwriters to the Company and without liability on 
the part of the Company to the Underwriters, provided that this Agreement 
shall not terminate if such events relate to the sale of Option Shares at a 
Second Closing Date.

     In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the 
preceding paragraph of this Section, the Company shall not be under any 
liability to any Underwriter (except as provided in Section 4(g) and 6 
hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have 
failed, otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement, to 
purchase the number of Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder, 
which Underwriter shall remain liable to the Company and the other 
Underwriters for damages resulting from such default) be under any liability 
to the Company (except as provided in Section 6 hereof).

     The term "Underwriter" in this Agreement shall include any person 
substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 9.

     10.   EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION.  

          (a)  This Agreement shall become effective at such time after the 
declaration by the Commission of the effectiveness of the Registration

          (b)  You, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, shall 
have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice as hereinafter 
specified at any time at or prior to the First Closing Date if (i) the 
Company shall have failed, refused or been unable, at or prior to the First 
Closing Date, to perform any material agreement on its part to be performed, 
or because any other material condition of the Underwriters' obligations 
hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company is not fulfilled; (ii) 
trading on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum 
or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for 
prices for securities shall have been required, on the New York Stock 
Exchange by the New York Stock Exchange or by order of the Commission or any 
other governmental authority having jurisdiction, since the execution of this 
Agreement; (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or 
New York authorities since the execution of this Agreement; or (iv) an 
outbreak of major hostilities or other national calamity shall have occurred. 
Any such termination shall be without liability on the part of the Company to 
any Underwriter or of any Underwriter to the Company other than as provided 
in Sections 4(g) and 6 hereof.

          (c)  If you elect to prevent this Agreement from becoming effective 
or to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Company shall 
be notified promptly by you by telephone or telegram, confirmed by letter. If 
the Company shall elect to prevent this Agreement from becoming effective, 
you shall be notified promptly by the Company by telephone or telegram, 
confirmed by letter.

                            SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT

                                        ________________, 1996


Dear Sirs:

     1.   PURCHASE OF SECURITIES BY THE SEVERAL UNDERWRITERS. The several 
Underwriters named in the enclosed Prospectus, on whose behalf we are acting 
as Representatives, have severally agreed to purchase from EntreMed, Inc. 
(the "Company") an offering of 3,500,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock 
(the "Shares"), as set forth in the Prospectus and subject to the terms of 
the Underwriting Agreement between the several Underwriters and the Company. 
The Shares are described in the Prospectus, additional copies of which will 
be supplied in reasonable quantities upon request to us.

     2.   OFFERING TO SELECTED DEALERS.  One or more of the several 
Underwriters acting through us are severally offering a portion of the Shares 
to certain dealers ("Selected Dealers") as principals, subject to the terms 
and conditions of their purchase, to the terms and conditions hereof, and to 
the modification or cancellation of the offering without notice, at the 
public offering price set forth in the Prospectus, less a concession not in 
excess of $.____ per Share. Shares purchased by the several Underwriters, and 
not sold to the Selected Dealers as aforesaid, may be sold by the several 
Underwriters. Any of the several Underwriters may be included among the 
Selected Dealers.

     The offering of a portion of the Shares to Selected Dealers may be made 
on the basis of reservations or allotments against subscription. We are 
advising you by telegram of the method and terms of the offering. Acceptance 
of any reserved Shares received by us at the office of Allen & Company 
Incorporated, 711 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022, after the time 
specified therefor in the telegrams, and any subscriptions for additional 
Shares, will be subject to prior sale and allotment. Subscription books may 
be closed by us at any time without notice, and the right is reserved to 
reject any subscriptions in whole or in part.

     3.  OFFERING TO PUBLIC BY SELECTED DEALERS.  Upon receipt of the 
aforementioned telegram, the Shares purchased by you hereunder may be 
re-offered to the public in conformity with the  terms of offering set forth 
in the Prospectus. You may, in accordance with the rules of the National 
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., reallow a concession of $.___ per 
Share sold by you to any other dealer or broker who is a member of the 
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., provided such discount is 
retained.

     Neither you nor any other person is or has been authorized by the 
Company, any of the several Underwriters or us to give information or make 
any representations in connection with the sale of the Shares other than 
those contained in the Prospectus.

     In the event that during the term of this agreement we, as 
Representatives for the account of the several Underwriters, shall purchase 
or contract to purchase, at or below the original public offering price set 
forth in the Prospectus, any of the Shares purchased by you hereunder (which 
Shares theretofore were not effectively placed for investment by you, 
including Shares represented by transfers), we may, at our election, either 
(a) require you to repurchase such Shares at a price equal to the total cost 
of such Shares purchased by us, including brokerage commissions, if any, and 
transfer taxes on the redelivery, or (b) charge you with and collect from you 
an amount equal to the selling concession with respect to the Shares so 
purchased by us.

     4.  PAYMENT AND DELIVERY.  Payment for the Shares which you have agreed 
to purchase hereunder shall be made by you on _______, 1996, or such later 
date as we may advise you, at 9:00 a.m., New York Time, at Allen & Company 
Incorporated's office at 711 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022, by 
certified or bank cashier's check payable in New York Clearing House funds to 
the order of Allen & Company Incorporated, against delivery of such Shares. 
Delivery instructions must be in our hands at said address at such time as we 
request.

     Additional Shares confirmed to you shall be delivered on such date or 
dates as we shall advise you.

     5.   BLUE SKY MATTERS.  Neither we nor any of the several Underwriters 
shall have any obligation or responsibility with respect to the right of any 
dealer to sell the Shares in any jurisdiction, notwithstanding any 
information which may be furnished as to the states under the securities laws 
of which it is believed the Shares may be sold.

     6.   TERMINATION.  This agreement shall terminate 20 full days after the 
First Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) but may be 
extended for a period or periods not exceeding in the aggregate 20 days as we 
may determine. We may terminate this Agreement at any time without prior 
notice. Notwithstanding the termination of this agreement, you shall remain 
liable for your portion of any transfer tax or other liability which may be 
asserted or assessed against us or any one or more of the several 
Underwriters or Selected Dealers based upon the claim that the Selected 
Dealers or any of them constitute a partnership, an association, an 
unincorporated business or other separate entity.

     7.   OBLIGATIONS OF SELECTED DEALERS.  Your acceptance hereof will 
constitute an obligation on your part to purchase, upon the terms and 
conditions hereof, the aggregate amount of the Shares reserved for and 
accepted by you and to perform and observe all the terms and conditions 
hereof.

     You are not authorized to act as agent for any of the several 
Underwriters in offering Shares to the public or otherwise. Nothing contained 
herein shall constitute the Selected Dealers an association, or partners with 
the several Underwriters, with us, or with each other.

     8.   POSITION OF THE REPRESENTATIVES.  We shall have full authority to 
take such action as we may deem advisable in respect of all matters 
pertaining to the offering or arising hereunder, but shall act only as 
Representatives of the several Underwriters. Neither we nor any of the 
several Underwriters shall be under any liability to you, except for our own 
want of good faith, obligations assumed in this agreement, or any liabilities 
arising under the Securities Act of 1933. No obligation not expressly assumed 
by us in this agreement shall be implied hereby or inferred herefrom.

     9.   NOTICES.  All communications from you should be addressed to us, 
c/o Allen & Company Incorporated, 711 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022. 
Any notice from us to you shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed 
or telegraphed to you at the address to which this letter is mailed.

     Please confirm the foregoing by signing the duplicate copy of this 
agreement enclosed herewith and returning it to us at the address in Section 
9 above.

                         Very truly yours,

Sirs:

     We hereby confirm our agreement to purchase Shares of the EntreMed, Inc.

the case of a subscription subject to allotment or in excess of any reservation,
and subject to all the other terms and conditions stated in the foregoing
letter.

Withholding, not to make other sales of Shares to persons enumerated in
paragraphs "1" through "5" of such Interpretation or in a manner inconsistent
with paragraph "6" thereof and (iii) to comply with the provisions of Article

                       RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT



     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of
the 7th day of December, 1995 by and among EntreMed, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with its principal office at 9610 Medical Center Drive, Rockville,
Maryland 20850 (the "Company") and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, a Delaware
corporation, with its principal office at Post Box 4000, Princeton, New Jersey
08543-4000 ("the Purchaser").

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchaser have entered into a Research
Collaboration and License Agreement of even date herewith, attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A (the "License Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will grant to
the Purchaser a license to certain of the Company's patent rights as further
defined and described therein.

     WHEREAS, in furtherance of and in partial consideration for the execution
and delivery of the License Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell to the
Purchaser and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 812,500
shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), at a
purchase price of $8.00 per share, on the terms set forth herein and additional
shares of the Company's Common Stock as set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

     1.   SALE OF THE SHARES.

          1.01 INITIAL SALE BY THE COMPANY.  Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, at the Initial Closing (as defined in Section
2.01):

               (a)  The Company shall sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser
shall purchase from the Company, 812,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(the "Initial Shares"), at a purchase price of $8.00 per share, for an aggregate
purchase price of $6,500,000 (the "Purchase Price").  The Purchase Price will be
payable to the Company at the Initial Closing by delivering to the Company a
certified check or wire transfer in the amount of the Purchase Price.

               (b)  The Company shall issue to the Purchaser a warrant in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B (the "Warrant") for the purchase of shares of
the Company's Common Stock as set forth herein.  The Warrant shall expire on the
earlier of (i) three (3) years following the date of the Initial Closing, or
(ii) one (1) year following the IPO (as defined in Section 1.02).  (The Company
makes no representation or agreement as to whether an IPO shall occur).  The
Warrant may be exercised only following an IPO, if any.  The exercise price of
each share of Common Stock which may be purchased under the Warrant shall be
equal to 150% of the initial public offering price of a share of Common Stock in
the IPO (the "Exercise Price").  The number of shares of Common Stock for which
the Warrant may be exercised shall be equal to $10,000,000 divided by the
Exercise Price.

          1.02 PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES BY THE PURCHASER.  Subject to 
and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions 
recommended by the managing underwriter of the IPO, and provided a 
Termination Event (defined hereinafter) has not occurred, at the Company's 
initial public offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective 
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 
"Securities Act") (such offering, the "IPO"), the Purchaser hereby agrees 
that the Purchaser will purchase $5,000,000 of additional shares of the 
Company's Common Stock at the initial public offering price per share.  The 
Purchaser's obligation under this Section 1.02 shall be effective if and only 
if the IPO is an underwritten offering, on a firm commitment basis, by a 
nationally or regionally recognized investment banking firm which yields a 
minimum of $15,000,000 in gross proceeds to the Company, including the 
proceeds from the purchase of such Additional Shares (defined hereinafter) by 
the Purchaser.

          1.03 ANTIDILUTION PROVISION.  In the event that, at any time on or
after the date of this Agreement and prior to its IPO, the Company issues any
Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (the "Below-Purchase Price Shares") for
a consideration of less than $8.00 per share (subject to adjustment from and
after the date of this Agreement upon each stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, or other reclassification or recapitalization or similar event),
taking into account the fair market value of any preferred stock issued as units
with the Common Stock included in any such issuance, then upon such issuance the
Company shall issue to the Purchaser such number of shares of Common Stock (the
"Antidilution Shares") in accordance with the following formula:

          The "Adjusted Per Share Purchase Price" equals (a) the sum
          of (1) the number of Below-Purchase Price Shares to be
          issued by the Company, multiplied by the per share offering
          price of such Below-Purchase Price Shares, plus (2) the
          aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser for the
          shares of Common Stock then held
          by the Purchaser (the "Purchaser's Cost"); divided 
          by (b) the sum of (1) the number of shares of 
          Common Stock then held by the Purchaser,
          plus (2) the number of Below-Purchase Price Shares to be
          issued by the Company; PROVIDED, that in no event shall the
          Adjusted Per Share Purchase Price be less than $6.00.  The
          Purchaser's Cost shall be divided by the Adjusted Per Share
          Purchase Price to calculate the "Adjusted Shares."  The
          Adjusted Shares minus the number of shares of Common Stock
          acquired initially by the Purchaser shall equal the number
          of Antidilution Shares that the Company shall issue to the
          Purchaser.

All such Antidilution Shares shall be issued within ten (10) days after the
issuance of such Below-Purchase Price Shares to which they relate, at no cost to
the Purchaser.

          The anti-dilution provisions in this Section 1.03 shall not be
applicable to:

          (i)   Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, advisors,
consultants or directors of the Company upon exercise of options, restricted
stock awards or similar arrangements which are approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company;

          (ii) Common Stock issued to non-affiliates of the Company in
connection with bona fide research, licensing, acquisitions or corporate
partnering relationships, in connection with equipment lease financings, or upon
exercise of warrants issued to institutional lenders in connection with non-
convertible debt financings, in each case approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company, provided that such issuances are for other than primarily equity
financing purposes; 

          (iii)     Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of
options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding on the date
hereof; or

          (iv) Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with a merger or
consolidation as a result of which the holders of the Company's outstanding
securities immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction hold
securities in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving
or resulting entity.

          The provisions of this Section 1.03 shall terminate upon the closing
of the IPO.

          1.04 "ADDITIONAL SHARES" DEFINED.  The term "Additional Shares" shall
mean all shares of Common Stock issued to the Purchaser pursuant to the exercise
of the Warrant and pursuant to Sections 1.02 and 1.03.

               (a)  In the event that the License Agreement is terminated as a
result of a breach by the Purchaser thereunder or by the Purchaser prior to its
expiration (except as a result of a breach by the Company), (such termination a
"Termination Event"), the Company, shall have the right and option, for sixty
(60) days from the occurrence of the Termination Event, to elect to purchase
from the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall sell or cause to be sold to the
Company, upon the Company's exercise of such right, such number of Initial
Shares and any Additional Shares (collectively the "Option Shares") owned by the
Purchaser on such date as is specified by the Company, at a per share price

Share Purchase Price, (ii) the Exercise Price, with respect to shares of Common
Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant, to the extent any such

with respect to shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to Section 1.02, as
the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent
not previously exercised, the Warrant shall terminate upon the occurrence of any
Termination Event.

                    The right to repurchase the Option Shares provided in this
Section 4(a) shall be exercised by the Company, if at all, by delivery to the
Purchaser during the applicable aforesaid 60-day period, of a written notice of
election to purchase such Option Shares (the"Election Notice").

               (b)  The number of Option Shares subject to repurchase and the
purchase price thereof, at the time of any stock dividend or other distribution

any part thereof, shall be adjusted to give effect to such stock dividend, other
distribution, subdivision, combination, redemption or reclassification.

               (c)  The sale of Option Shares effected under the terms of
Section 4(a) hereof shall be made at the offices of the Company on a mutually
acceptable business day which day shall be within 15 days after the expiration
of the applicable 60-day period referred to in Section 4(a), and shall be such
15th day if the parties do not agree on such date.  Delivery of certificates or
other instruments evidencing such Option Shares duly endorsed for transfer shall
be made on such date against payment of the purchase price thereof.  Payment for
the Option Shares purchased pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made in the form
of a certified check or a wire transfer of clearing house funds to an account
designated by the Purchaser.

               (d)  Following the occurrence of a Termination Event, if and to
the extent that the Company does not exercise its right to purchase the Option
Shares within the exercise period, this Section 4 shall be null and void and the
Purchaser may sell or otherwise transfer up to all of the Initial Shares and the
Additional Shares, subject only to compliance with the provisions of Section 5
of this Agreement and any applicable laws or regulations.

     5.   PROCEDURES ON SALE OF SHARES TO THIRD PARTIES BY THE PURCHASER. 
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Purchaser hereby agrees that
it shall not Sell (as defined in subsection (e) below) any Initial Shares or
Additional Shares, as the case may be (the "Offered Shares") to any person other
than the Company, except in accordance with the following procedures:

               (a)  The Purchaser shall first deliver to the Company a 
written notice (the "Transfer Notice"), which Transfer Notice shall be 
irrevocable for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery thereof (the 
"Offer Period"), offering to the Company, all of the Offered Shares proposed 
to be sold by the Purchaser at the purchase price and on the terms specified 
therein.  The Company shall have the right and option, at its sole 
discretion, for a period of 30 days after its receipt of the Transfer Notice, 
to accept the offer of all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares at 
the purchase price and upon the terms stated in the Transfer Notice.  Such 
acceptance will be made by delivery of a written notice to the Purchaser 
within the Offer Period (the "Acceptance Notice").  

               (b)  The sale of Offered Shares under the terms of Section 5(a)
above shall be made at the offices of the Company on a mutually acceptable
business day, which day shall be within 15 days after the expiration of the
Offer Period and shall be such 15th day if the parties do not agree on such
date.  Delivery of certificates or other instruments evidencing such Offered
Shares duly endorsed for transfer shall be made on such date against payment of
the purchase price therefor.  Payment for the Offered Shares purchased pursuant
to this Section 5 shall be made in the form of a certified check or a wire
transfer of clearing house funds to an account designated by the Purchaser.

               (c)  If effective acceptance shall not be received pursuant to 
Section 5(a) above with respect to all Offered Shares offered for sale 
pursuant to the Transfer Notice then the Purchaser may Sell to a third party 
or third parties all, but not less than all, the shares so offered for sale 
at a price not less than the price, and on terms not more favorable to the 
purchaser thereof than the terms, stated in the Transfer Notice, at any time 
within 90 days after the expiration of the Offer Period.  In the event that 
such shares are not sold by the Purchaser during such 90-day period, the 
right of the Purchaser to Sell such shares without renewed compliance with 
this Section 5 shall expire and the obligations of this Section 5 shall be 
reinstated; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the Purchaser 
determines, at any time during such 90-day period, that the sale of all of 
the shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice is impracticable, 
the Purchaser can terminate the offer of the shares to a third party or 
parties and reinstate the procedure provided in this Section 5 without 
waiting for the expiration of such 90-day period.

               (d)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
any third party purchaser of shares pursuant to this Section 5 who or which is
not a signatory to an agreement with the Company that places restrictions on
such Offered Shares substantially similar to the restrictions set forth in
Section 7.02(d)-(e) of this Agreement shall agree in writing, as a condition to
such sale, to be bound by all applicable provisions of Section 7.02(d)-(e) of
this Agreement .

               (e)  As used above, the term "Sell" shall mean to sell, or in any
other way, directly or indirectly, transfer, assign, distribute, pledge,
encumber or otherwise dispose of, either voluntarily or involuntarily any of the
Initial Shares or Additional Shares.

               (f)  Anything contained herein to the contrary 
notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 5 shall not be applicable (i) 
if, and to the extent that, the Purchaser Sells any Offered Shares to the 
public pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the 
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, (ii) if, and to 
the extent that, the Purchaser Sells any Offered Shares after the IPO in an 
open-market transaction meeting the "manner of sale" requirements set forth 
in Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (iii) after the third anniversary of 
the IPO.

               (g)  The Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its
books any of the shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation
of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (b) to treat as owner
of such shares or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom any such shares
shall have been sold or transferred.

to the Purchaser that:

          6.01 ORGANIZATION.  The Company is a corporation duly organized,

any material agreement, instrument, order, judgment of decree to which the 
Company is subject, except where any such event listed above would not have a 
material adverse effect on the Company.  Except as set forth on EXHIBIT E, 
the issuance of the Initial Shares and the Warrant do not, and the issuance 
of the Additional Shares will not, require any further corporate action 
related specifically to such issuances (other than any required increase in 
the authorized capital stock of the Company, which increase, if required, 
will be recommended by the Company to its stockholders), and are not and will 
not be subject to any preemptive or other preferential rights or similar 
statutory or contractual rights either arising pursuant to any agreement or 
instrument to which the Company is a party or which is otherwise binding upon 
the Company.

or regulations by which it is bound or to which it or any of its material
properties or assets are subject and which the failure to comply with would have
a materially adverse effect upon the Company, and the Company has not received
notice of any claimed default with respect to such judgments, decrees, orders,
statutes, rules and regulations.

          6.04 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL.  Subject to the accuracy of the
Purchaser's representations herein, no authorization, consent, approval,
license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental

stock of the Company, and there are no restrictions on the transfer of shares of
capital stock of the Company other than those imposed by relevant state and
federal securities laws.  Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser's
representations herein and the issuance to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms
hereof, the offer, sale or issuance of the Initial Shares and the Warrant do not
require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
laws.  There exists no agreement between the Company and the Company's
stockholders with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company's capital
stock, except as set forth on EXHIBIT E or otherwise disclosed in this
Agreement.

disclosed to the Purchaser, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against
the Company affecting any of its properties or assets or, to the knowledge of
the Company, against any officer or key employee of the Company which might
result, either in any case or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change
in the business, operations, affairs or condition of the Company or any of its
properties or assets, or which might call into question the validity of this
Agreement, the Warrant, any of the Initial Shares or the Additional Shares or
any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto, nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, has there occurred any event nor does there exist any condition on the
basis of which any such litigation, proceeding or investigation might properly
be instituted.  The Company, to the knowledge of the Company, is not in default
with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree, ruling or decision of any
court, commission, board or other government agency that might result, either in
any case or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the business,
operations, affairs or financial condition of the Company or any of its
properties or assets.  The foregoing sentences include, without limiting their
generality, actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the
Company) involving the prior employment of any of the Company's officers or key
employees or their use in connection with the Company's business of any
information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers.

          6.08 REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Except as set forth in the Registration

or any material agreement to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the

          7.02 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION.

               (a)  The Purchaser is acquiring the Initial Shares and any
Additional Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any present
intention of selling or distributing the same and the Purchaser has no present
or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or
commitment providing for the distribution thereof.

               (b)  The Purchaser has carefully reviewed the representations
concerning the Company and has made a detailed inquiry concerning the Company,
its business and its personnel; the officers of the Company have made available
to the Purchaser the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning
the terms and conditions of the offering of the Initial Shares and any
Additional Shares made hereby and to obtain any additional information that the
Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is
necessary to verify the accuracy of information provided by the Company to the
Purchaser; the Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and
financial matters so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its

defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

               (c)  The Purchaser understands that (i) there is currently no
market for the Company's Common Stock and there can be no assurance that such a
market will ever develop or be sustained, (ii) the Initial Shares have not been

available unless a public market then exists for the Common Stock, adequate

terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and (v) there is now no
registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to any stock of the Company and the Company has no obligation or current
intention to register the Initial Shares under the Securities Act.

otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Initial Shares in the absence of
an effective registration statement unless (i) an exemption from such
registration is available under the Securities Act and (ii) if requested by the
Company, the Purchaser shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of
reputable securities counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company
and its counsel that such proposed sale, transfer or other disposition would not
be in violation of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

               (e)  A legend substantially in the following form will be placed
on the Certificate representing the Initial Shares:

          THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
Post Office Box 4000
Princeton, New Jersey  08543-4000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to EntreMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the sale by the Company to you of an aggregate of
812,500 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value
("Common Stock") and a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase shares of Common
Stock, pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") of
even date and by and between the Company and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
("BMS").  The Agreement and the Warrant are sometimes collectively referred to
herein as the "Transaction Documents."

     As such counsel, we have made such examinations of law and have reviewed
copies of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, certain
resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors relating to the
Transaction Documents, the By-Laws of the Company, the Transaction Documents,
the form of stock certificate approved by the Company's Board of Directors to
evidence shares of the Company's Common Stock and such other records,
agreements, instruments and certificates or other documents as we have deemed
necessary to render the opinions hereinafter set forth.  In our examination, we
have assumed the legal capacity of natural persons, the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed
or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies,
which facts we have not independently verified.  We also have assumed that each
of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other
than the Company and assumed the accuracy of the representations of each of the
Company and BMS made in the Transaction Documents.  As to certain questions of
fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon certificates
of officers of the Company and the representations of the Company contained in
the Transaction Documents and certificates and orders of public officials and
other documents that we have deemed necessary to render the opinions hereinafter
set forth.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the
meanings given thereto in the Agreement.

     In rendering the following opinions, we do not express any opinion with
respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York and the
State of Delaware and those laws of the United States of America applicable to
the opinions herein expressed.  Where the phrase "to our knowledge" or a similar
phrase is used in this opinion, it shall mean that we have based our legal
analysis upon those facts which are known by any attorney in our firm who is
involved or has been involved in the transactions which are the subject of this
opinion, or, who is or was otherwise involved in substantive work for the
Company and any other facts established by the representations and warranties of
the Company.


     Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the other limitations and
assumptions set forth herein, it is our opinion that:


     1.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite
corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and
to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is duly qualified and in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to
so qualify would not materially adversely affect the Company.

     2.  The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver the Transaction Documents, and to consummate all the transactions
contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of
the Warrant, the Initial Shares and the Additional Shares subject, in the case
of Additional Shares, to a potential requirement to amend the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock.  Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a valid obligation
of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     3.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents
and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions contemplated thereby,
will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both,
violate, conflict with or otherwise result in a breach or violation of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, (i) the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company; or (ii) to our
knowledge, any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to
which the Company is subject.

     4.  The Warrant and the Initial Shares issued to BMS have been duly
authorized and validly issued.  Upon payment therefor in accordance with the
terms of the Transaction Documents, the Initial Shares will be fully paid and
nonassessable.  The Additional Shares, when such shares are issued and delivered
and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or the Warrant, as
the case may be, will be duly authorized and validly issued, and will be fully
paid and nonassessable subject, in the case of the Additional Shares, to a
potential requirement to amend the Company's Restated Certificate of

                                 ENTREMED, INC.

                   AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN


1.   PURPOSE.

     The purpose of this plan (the "Plan") is to secure for  ENTREMED, INC. (the
"Company") and its shareholders the benefits arising from capital stock
ownership by employees, officers and directors of, and consultants or advisors
to, the Company and its subsidiary corporations who are expected to contribute
to the Company's future growth and success.  Those provisions of the Plan which
make express reference to Section 422 shall apply only to Incentive Stock
Options (as that term is defined in the Plan).

2.   TYPE OF OPTIONS AND ADMINISTRATION.

     (a)  TYPES OF OPTIONS.  Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
authorized by action of the Board of Directors of the Company (or a Committee
designated by the Board of Directors) and may be either incentive stock options
("Incentive Stock Options") meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or replaced from time to time (the
"Code") or non-statutory options which are not intended to meet the requirements
of Section 422 of the Code.

     (b)  ADMINISTRATION.  The Plan will be administered by a committee (the
"Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose
construction and interpretation of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall be
final and conclusive.  The delegation of powers to the Committee shall be
consistent with applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation,
applicable state law and Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or any successor rule ("Rule 16b-3")).  The
Committee may in its sole discretion grant options to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock") and issue
shares upon exercise of such options as provided in the Plan.  The Committee
shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to construe
the respective option agreements and the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and
provisions of the respective option agreements, which need not be identical, and
to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Committee necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan.  The Committee may correct any
defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in
any option agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to
carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such
expediency.  No director or person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the
Board of Directors shall be liable for any action or determination under the
Plan made in good faith.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15 below,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to options
granted to any person in a calendar year shall not exceed [25]% of the maximum
number of shares which may be issued and sold under the Plan, as set forth in
Section 4 hereof, as such section may be amended from time to time.  

     (c)  APPLICABILITY OF RULE 16B-3.  Those provisions of the Plan which make
express reference to Rule 16b-3 shall apply to the Company only at such time as
the Company's Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, subject to the
last sentence of Section 3(b), and then only to such persons as are required to
file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (a "Reporting Person").

3.   ELIGIBILITY.

     (a)  GENERAL.  Options may be granted to persons who are, at the time of
grant, employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the
Company or any subsidiaries of the Company as defined in Sections 424(e) and
424(f) of the Code ("Participants") PROVIDED, that Incentive Stock Options may
only be granted to individuals who are employees of the Company (within the
meaning of Section 3401(c) of the Code).  A person who has been granted an
option may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional options if
the Committee shall so determine.

     (b)  GRANT OF OPTIONS TO REPORTING PERSONS.  The selection of a director or
an officer who is a Reporting Person (as the terms "director" and "officer" are
defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3) as a recipient of an option, the timing of
the option grant, the exercise price of the option and the number of shares
subject to the option shall be determined either (i) by the Board of Directors,
of which all members shall be "disinterested persons" (as hereinafter defined),
(ii) by a committee consisting of two or more directors having full authority to
act in the matter, each of whom shall be a "disinterested person" or
(iii) pursuant to provisions for automatic grants set forth in Section 3(c)
below.  For the purposes of the Plan, a director shall be deemed to be a
"disinterested person" only if such person qualifies as a "disinterested person"
within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, as such term is interpreted from time to time.
If at least two of the members of the Board of Directors do not qualify as a
"disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, as such term is
interpreted from time to time, then the granting of options to officers and
directors who are Reporting Persons under the Plan shall not be determined in
accordance with this Section 3(b) but shall be determined in accordance with the
other provisions of the Plan.

     (c)  DIRECTORS' OPTIONS.  Commencing on the date this plan is adopted by
the Board of Directors, directors of the Company ("Eligible Directors") will be
granted an option (a "Director Option") to purchase 15,000 shares of Common
Stock on the date that such person is first elected or appointed a director
("Initial Director Option").  Commencing on the day immediately following the
date of the annual meeting of stockholders for the Company's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1996, (i) each Eligible Director will receive an automatic grant of
a Director Option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) each member of
any committee of the Board of Directors, other than the Executive Committee,
will receive an automatic grant of a Director Option to purchase 1,000 shares of
Common Stock and (iii) each member of the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors will receive an automatic grant of a Director Option to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock (each, an "Automatic Grant") on the day immediately
following the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, as long as such
director is a member of the Board of Directors.  The exercise price for each
share subject to a Director Option shall be equal to the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of grant.  Director Options shall become
exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing on the date the option
is granted and will expire the earlier of 10 years after the date of grant or 90
days after the termination of the director's service on the Board unless such
Director Option is an Incentive Stock Option in which case such Director Option
shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Section 11.

4.   STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

     The stock subject to options granted under the Plan shall be shares of
authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock.  Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 15 below, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company which may be issued and sold under the Plan is 516,667 shares.  If
an option granted under the Plan shall expire, terminate or is cancelled for any
reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject to
such option shall again be available for subsequent option grants under the
Plan.

5.   FORMS OF OPTION AGREEMENTS.

     As a condition to the grant of an option under the Plan, each recipient of
an option shall execute an option agreement in such form not inconsistent with
the Plan as may be approved by the Board of Directors.  Such option agreements
may differ among recipients.

6.   PURCHASE PRICE.

     (a)  GENERAL.  The purchase price per share of stock deliverable upon the
exercise of an option shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the time
of grant of such option; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option, the exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value (as hereinafter defined) of such stock, at the time of grant of such
option, or less than 110% of such Fair Market Value in the case of options
described in Section 11(b).  "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock of
the Company as of a specified date for the purposes of the Plan shall mean the
closing price of a share of the Common Stock on the principal securities
exchange (including the Nasdaq National Market) on which such shares are traded
on the day immediately preceding the date as of which Fair Market Value is being
determined, or on the next preceding date on which such shares are traded if no
shares were traded on such immediately preceding day, or if the shares are not
traded on a securities exchange, Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the
average of the high bid and low asked prices of the shares in the
over-the-counter market on the day immediately preceding the date as of which
Fair Market Value is being determined or on the next preceding date on which
such high bid and low asked prices were recorded.  If the shares are not
publicly traded, Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock (including, in the
case of any repurchase of shares, any distributions with respect thereto which
would be repurchased with the shares) shall be determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors.  In no case shall Fair Market Value be determined with
regard to restrictions other than restrictions which, by their terms, will never
lapse.

     (b)  PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.  Options granted under the Plan may provide
for the payment of the exercise price by delivery of cash or a check to the
order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price of such options,
or by any other means which the Board of Directors determines are consistent
with the purpose of the Plan and with applicable laws and regulations
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Rule 16b-3 and Regulation T
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board).

7.   OPTION PERIOD.

     Subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan, each option and all
rights thereunder shall expire on such date as determined by the Board of
Directors and set forth in the applicable option agreement, provided, that such
date shall not be later than (10) ten years after the date on which the option
is granted.  

8.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

     Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable either in full or
in installments at such time or times and during such period as shall be set
forth in the option agreement evidencing such option, subject to the provisions
of the Plan.  No option granted to a Reporting Person for purposes of the
Exchange Act, however, shall be exercisable during the first six months after
the date of grant.  Subject to the requirements in the immediately preceding
sentence, if an option is not at the time of grant immediately exercisable, the
Board of Directors may (i) in the agreement evidencing such option, provide for
the acceleration of the exercise date or dates of the subject option upon the
occurrence of specified events, and/or (ii) at any time prior to the complete
termination of an option, accelerate the exercise date or dates of such option.

9.   NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

     No option granted under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise
transferable by the optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in
the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules
thereunder.  An option may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only
by the optionee.  In the event an optionee dies during his employment by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, or during the three-month period following
the date of termination of such employment, his option shall thereafter be
exercisable, during the period specified in the option agreement, by his
executors or administrators to the full extent to which such option was
exercisable by the optionee at the time of his death during the periods set
forth in Section 10 or 11(d).

10.  EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.

     Except as provided in Section 11(d) with respect to Incentive Stock Options
and except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the date of grant of an
option, and subject to the provisions of the Plan, an optionee may exercise an
option at any time within three (3) months following the termination of the
optionee's employment or other relationship with the Company or within one (1)
year if such termination was due to the death or disability of the optionee but,
except in the case of the optionee's death, in no event later than the
expiration date of the option.  If the termination of the optionee's employment
is for cause or is otherwise attributable to a breach by the optionee of an
employment or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement, the option shall
expire immediately upon such termination.  The Board of Directors shall have the
power to determine what constitutes a termination for cause or a breach of an
employment or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement, whether an optionee
has been terminated for cause or has breached such an agreement, and the date
upon which such termination for cause or breach occurs.  Any such determinations
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the optionee.

11.  INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.

     Options granted under the Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock
Options shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

     (a)  EXPRESS DESIGNATION.  All Incentive Stock Options granted under the
Plan shall, at the time of grant, be specifically designated as such in the
option agreement covering such Incentive Stock Options.

     (b)  10% SHAREHOLDER.  If any employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is
to be granted under the Plan is, at the time of the grant of such option, the
owner of stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company (after taking into account the attribution
of stock ownership rules of Section 424(d) of the Code), then the following
special provisions shall be applicable to the Incentive Stock Option granted to
such individual:

          (i)  The purchase price per share of the Common Stock subject to 
     such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market
     Value of one share of Common Stock at the time of grant; and

          (ii) the option exercise period shall not exceed five years from the 
     date of grant.

     (c)  DOLLAR LIMITATION.  For so long as the Code shall so provide, options
granted to any employee under the Plan (and any other incentive stock option
plans of the Company) which are intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options
shall not constitute Incentive Stock Options to the extent that such options, in
the aggregate, become exercisable for the first time in any one calendar year
for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value, as of the
respective date or dates of grant, of more than $100,000.

     (d)  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY.  No Incentive Stock
Option may be exercised unless, at the time of such exercise, the optionee is,
and has been continuously since the date of grant of his or her option, employed
by the Company, except that:

       (i)     an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised within the period of
     three months after the date the optionee ceases to be an employee of the
     Company (or within such lesser period as may be specified in the applicable
     option agreement), PROVIDED, that the agreement with respect to such option
     may designate a longer exercise period and that the exercise after such
     three-month period shall be treated as the exercise of a non-statutory
     option under the Plan;

      (ii)     if the optionee dies while in the employ of the Company, or
     within three months after the optionee ceases to be such an employee, the
     Incentive Stock Option may be exercised by the person to whom it is
     transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution within the
     period of one year after the date of death (or within such lesser period as
     may be specified in the applicable option agreement); and

     (iii)     if the optionee becomes disabled (within the meaning of
     Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto) while in
     the employ of the Company, the Incentive Stock Option may be exercised
     within the period of one year after the date the optionee ceases to be such
     an employee because of such disability (or within such lesser period as may
     be specified in the applicable option agreement).

For all purposes of the Plan and any option granted hereunder, "employment"
shall be defined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.421-7(h) of the
Income Tax Regulations (or any successor regulations).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after its
expiration date.

12.  ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

     (a)  ADDITIONAL OPTION PROVISIONS.  The Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, include additional provisions in option agreements covering options
granted under the Plan, including without limitation restrictions on transfer,
repurchase rights, rights of first refusal, commitments to pay cash bonuses, to
make, arrange for or guaranty loans or to transfer other property to optionees
upon exercise of options, or such other provisions as shall be determined by the
Board of Directors; PROVIDED, that such additional provisions shall not be
inconsistent with any other term or condition of the Plan and such additional
provisions shall not cause any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan to
fail to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422
of the Code.

     (b)  ACCELERATION, EXTENSION, ETC.  The Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, (i) accelerate the date or dates on which all or any particular
option or options granted under the Plan may be exercised or (ii) extend the
dates during which all, or any particular, option or options granted under the
Plan may be exercised; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such extension shall be
permitted if it would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 422 of the
Code or with Rule 16b-3 (if applicable).

13.  GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.

     (a)  INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.  The Company may require any person to
whom an option is granted, as a condition of exercising such option or award, to
give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company to the
effect that such person is acquiring the Common Stock subject to the option or
award, for his or her own account for investment and not with any present
intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other
effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with
federal and applicable state securities laws, or with covenants or
representations made by the Company in connection with any public offering of
its Common Stock, including any "lock-up" or other restriction on
transferability.

     (b)  COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.  Each option shall be subject to the
requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that
the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such option
or award upon any securities exchange or automated quotation system or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or
regulatory body, or that the disclosure of non-public information or the
satisfaction of any other condition is necessary as a condition of, or in
connection with the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, such option or
award may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval, or satisfaction of such
condition shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the
Board of Directors.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to
apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or to
satisfy such condition.

14.  RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

     The holder of an option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect
to any shares covered by the option (including, without limitation, any rights
to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares)
until the date of issue of a stock certificate to him or her for such shares. 
No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

15.  ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS FOR RECAPITALIZATIONS, REORGANIZATIONS AND RELATED 
     TRANSACTIONS.

     (a)  RECAPITALIZATIONS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.  If, through or as a
result of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split or other similar transaction, (i) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock are increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or
kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or (ii) additional shares or
new or different shares or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to
such shares of Common Stock or other securities, an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment shall be made in (x) the maximum number and kind of
shares reserved for issuance under or otherwise referred to in the Plan, (y) the
number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding
options under the Plan, and (z) the price for each share subject to any then
outstanding options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate purchase
price as to which such options remain exercisable.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 15 if such
adjustment (i) would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 422 of the
Code or with Rule 16b-3 or (ii) would be considered as the adoption of a new
plan requiring stockholder approval.
          
     (b)  REORGANIZATION, MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.  All outstanding
options under the Plan shall become fully exercisable for a period of sixty (60)
days following the occurrence of any Trigger Event, whether or not such options
are then exercisable under the provisions of the applicable agreements relating
thereto.  For purposes of the Plan, a "Trigger Event" is any one of the
following events:

          (i)  the date on which shares of Common Stock are first purchased
     pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than such an offer by
     the Company, any Subsidiary, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of
     any Subsidiary or any entity holding shares or other securities of the
     Company for or pursuant to the terms of such plan), whether or not such
     offer is approved or opposed by the Company and regardless of the number of
     shares purchased pursuant to such offer;

          (ii) the date the Company acquires knowledge that any person or group
     deemed a person under Section 13(d)-3 of the Exchange Act (other than the
     Company, any Subsidiary, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any
     Subsidiary or any entity holding shares of Common Stock or other securities
     of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan or any
     individual or entity or group or affiliate thereof which acquired its
     beneficial ownership interest prior to the date the Plan was adopted by the
     Board), in a transaction or series of transactions, has become the
     beneficial owner, directly or indirectly (with beneficial ownership
     determined as provided in Rule 13d-3, or any successor rule, under the
     Exchange Act), of securities of the Company entitling the person or group
     to 30% or more of all votes (without consideration of the rights of any
     class or stock to elect directors by a separate class vote) to which all
     shareholders of the Company would be entitled in the election of the Board
     of Directors were an election held on such date;

          (iii)     the date, during any period of two consecutive years, when
     individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of
     Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a
     majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by
     the shareholders of the Company, of each new director was approved by a
     vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were
     directors at the beginning of such period; and

          (iv) the date of approval by the shareholders of the Company of an
     agreement (a "reorganization agreement") providing for:

                          (A)  The merger of consolidation of the Company
                 with anothercorporation where the shareholders of the Company,
                 immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, do not
                 beneficially own, immediately after the merger or
                 consolidation, shares of the corporation issuing cash or
                 securities in the merger or consolidation entitling such
                 shareholders to 80% or more of all votes (without
                 consideration of the rights of any class of stock to elect
                 directors by a separate class vote) to which all
                 shareholders of such corporation would be entitled in the
                 election of directors or where the members of the Board of
                 Directors of the Company, immediately prior to the merger or
                 consolidation, do not, immediately after the merger or
                 consolidation, constitute a majority of the Board of
                 Directors of the corporation issuing cash or securities in
                 the merger or consolidation; or

                          (B)  The sale or other disposition of all or
                 substantially all the assets of the Company.

     (c)  BOARD AUTHORITY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.  Any adjustments
under this Section 15 will be made by the Board of Directors, whose
determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent
thereof will be final, binding and conclusive.  No fractional shares will be
issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.

16. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ASSET SALE, LIQUIDATION, ETC.

      (a)  GENERAL.  In the event of any sale, merger, transfer or
acquisition of the Company or substantially all of the assets of the Company in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation, and provided that after the
Company shall have requested the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an
affiliate thereof), that equivalent options shall be substituted and such
successor corporation shall have refused or failed to assume all options
outstanding under the Plan or issue substantially equivalent options, then any
or all outstanding options under the Plan shall accelerate and become
exercisable in full immediately prior to such event.  The Committee will notify
holders of options under the Plan that any such options shall be fully
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and
the options will terminate upon expiration of such notice.

     (b)  SUBSTITUTE OPTIONS.  The Company may grant options
under the Plan in substitution for options held by employees of another
corporation who become employees of the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company,
as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or as a result of the acquisition by the
Company, or one of its subsidiaries, of property or stock of the employing
corporation.  The Company may direct that substitute options be granted on such
terms and conditions as the Board of Directors considers appropriate in the
circumstances.

17. NO SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.

      Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option shall confer
upon any optionee any right with respect to the continuation of his or her
employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company
at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the
compensation of the optionee.

18. OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.

     Except as to plans which by their terms include such amounts
as compensation, the amount of any compensation deemed to be received by an
employee as a result of the exercise of an option or the sale of shares received
upon such exercise will not constitute compensation with respect to which any
other employee benefits of such employee are determined, including, without
limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, life insurance or
salary continuation plan, except as otherwise specifically determined by the
Board of Directors.

19. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

     (a)  The Board of Directors may at any time, and from time
to time, modify or amend the Plan in any respect; provided, however, that if at
any time the approval of the shareholders of the Company is required under
Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive
Stock Options, or under Rule 16b-3, the Board of Directors may not effect such
modification or amendment without such approval; and provided, further, that the
provisions of Section 3(c) hereof shall not be amended more than once every six
months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employer Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder.

     (b)  The modification or amendment of the Plan shall not,
without the consent of an optionee, affect his or her rights under an option
previously granted to him or her.  With the consent of the optionee affected,
the Board of Directors may amend outstanding option agreements in a manner not
inconsistent with the Plan.  The Board of Directors shall have the right to
amend or modify (i) the terms and provisions of the Plan and of any outstanding
Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan to the extent necessary to
qualify any or all such options for such favorable federal income tax treatment
(including deferral of taxation upon exercise) as may be afforded incentive
stock options under Section 422 of the Code and (ii) the terms and provisions of
the Plan and of any outstanding option to the extent necessary to ensure the
qualification of the Plan under Rule 16b-3.

20. WITHHOLDING.

     (a)  The Company shall have the right to deduct from
payments of any kind otherwise due to the optionee any federal, state or local
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares
issued upon exercise of options under the Plan.  Subject to the prior approval
of the Company, which may be withheld by the Company in its sole discretion, the
optionee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by
causing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to the exercise of an option or (ii) by delivering to the Company
shares of Common Stock already owned by the optionee.  The shares so delivered
or withheld shall have a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation
as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  An
optionee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 20(a) may only
satisfy his or her withholding obligation with shares of Common Stock which are
not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar
requirements.

     (b)  The acceptance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option shall constitute an agreement by the optionee
(i) to notify the Company if any or all of such shares are disposed of by the
optionee within two years from the date the option was granted or within one
year from the date the shares were issued to the optionee pursuant to the
exercise of the option, and (ii) if required by law, to remit to the Company, at
the time of and in the case of any such disposition, an amount sufficient to
satisfy the Company's federal, state and local withholding tax obligations with
respect to such disposition, whether or not, as to both (i) and (ii), the
optionee is in the employ of the Company at the time of such disposition.

     (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Reporting Person whose options have been granted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3(b) herein, no election to use shares for the payment of
withholding taxes shall be effective unless made in compliance with any
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.

21. CANCELLATION AND NEW GRANT OF OPTIONS, ETC.

     The Board of Directors shall have the authority to effect,
at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected optionees,
(i) the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and the
grant in substitution therefor of new options under the Plan covering the same
or different numbers of shares of Common Stock and having an option exercise
price per share which may be lower or higher than the exercise price per share
of the cancelled options or (ii) the amendment of the terms of any and all
outstanding options under the Plan to provide an option exercise price per share
which is higher or lower than the then-current exercise price per share of such
outstanding options.

22.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN.

     (a)  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The Plan shall become effective when
adopted by the Board of Directors, but no Incentive Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall become exercisable unless and until the Plan shall have been
approved by the Company's shareholders.  If such shareholder approval is not
obtained within twelve months after the date of the Board's adoption of the
Plan, no options previously granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be
Incentive Stock Options and no Incentive Stock Options shall be granted
thereafter.  Amendments to the Plan not requiring shareholder approval shall
become effective when adopted by the Board of Directors; amendments requiring
shareholder approval (as provided in Section 21) shall become effective when
adopted by the Board of Directors, but no Incentive Stock Option granted after
the date of such amendment shall become exercisable (to the extent that such
amendment to the Plan was required to enable the Company to grant such Incentive
Stock Option to a particular optionee) unless and until such amendment shall
have been approved by the Company's shareholders.  If such shareholder approval
is not obtained within twelve months of the Board's adoption of such amendment,
any Incentive Stock Options granted on or after the date of such amendment shall
terminate to the extent that such amendment to the Plan was required to enable
the Company to grant such option to a particular optionee.  Subject to this
limitation, options may be granted under the Plan at any time after the
effective date and before the date fixed for termination of the Plan.

     (b)  TERMINATION.  Unless sooner terminated in accordance
with Section 16, the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the close of
business on the day next preceding the tenth anniversary of the date of its
adoption by the Board of Directors, or (ii) the date on which all shares
available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued pursuant to the
exercise or cancellation of options granted under the Plan.  If the date of
termination is determined under (i) above, then options outstanding on such date
shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the
instruments evidencing such options.

23.  PROVISION FOR FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS.

     The Board of Directors may, without amending the Plan,
modify awards or options granted to participants who are foreign nationals or
employed outside the United States to recognize differences in laws, rules,
regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax,
securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.

24. GOVERNING LAW.

     The provisions of this Plan shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the
principles of conflicts of laws.

     Adopted by the Board of Directors on March 29, 1996 and
amended and restated on May 7, 1996.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


          This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the
_______ day of ___________, 199_ ("Agreement"), by and between EntreMed, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), and                         
("Indemnitee").

          WHEREAS, recently, highly competent persons have become more reluctant
to serve both privately and publicly-held corporations as directors, officers,
or in other capacities, unless they are provided with better protection from the
risk of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and
activities on behalf of such corporations; and

          WHEREAS, the current impracticability of obtaining adequate insurance
and the uncertainties related to indemnification have increased the difficulty
of attracting and retaining such persons; and

          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") has
determined that the ability to attract and retain such persons is in the best
interests of the Corporation's shareholders and that such persons should be
assured that they will have better protection in the future; and

          WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Corporation
to obligate itself contractually to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, so that such persons will serve or continue to
serve the Corporation free from undue concern that they will not be adequately
indemnified; and

          WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of
Article VII of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation (the "Certificate") and Article IV of the By-Laws of the Corporation
("By-Laws"); any rights granted under the Certificate or By-Laws and any
resolutions adopted pursuant thereto shall not be deemed to be a substitute
therefor nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

          WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take
on additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation on the condition that
he be indemnified according to the terms of this Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
contained herein, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as
follows:

          Section 1.  DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of this Agreement:

                    (a) "Change in Control" means a change in control of the
Corporation of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to
Item 6(e) of Schedule l4A of Regulation l4A (or in response to any similar item
on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Act"), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such
reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities without
the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board in office
immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the
Corporation is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other
reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which members of the
Board in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less
than a majority of the Board thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two
consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted
the Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or
nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders was approved by a vote
of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors
at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board.

                        (b)  "Corporate Status" means the status of a person who
is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation
or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation.

                        (c)  "Disinterested Director" means a director of the
Corporation who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which
indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

                        (d)  "Expenses" means all reasonable attorneys' fees,
retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel
expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges,
postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the
types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing
to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in
a Proceeding.

                        (e)  "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, or a member
of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither
presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent:  (i)
the Corporation or Indemnitee in any other matter material to either such party,
or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for
indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent
Counsel" shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in
representing either the Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.

                        (f)  "Proceeding" means any action, suit, arbitration,
alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or
any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement
to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

                        Section 2.  SERVICES BY INDEMNITEE.  Indemnitee agrees
to serve as a director of the Corporation, and, at its request, as a director,
officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of certain other corporations and
entities.  Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from any such
position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed
by operation of law).

                        Section 3.  INDEMNIFICATION - GENERAL.  The Corporation
shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee as provided in this
Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the
date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from
time to time permit.  The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding
sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the
other Sections of this Agreement.

                        Section 4.  PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN
THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of
indemnification provided in this Section if, by reason of his Corporate Status,
he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or
completed Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Corporation.  Pursuant to this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any such
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

                        Section 5.  PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE
CORPORATION.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification
provided in this Section if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor.  Pursuant to this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any such
Proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect
of any claim, issue or matter in any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation if applicable law
prohibits such indemnification unless the Chancery Court of the State of
Delaware, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is
pending, shall determine that indemnification against Expenses may nevertheless
be made by the Corporation.

                        Section 6.  INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO
IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status,
a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he
shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or on his behalf in connection therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as
to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding,
the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully
resolved claim, issue or matter.  For the purposes of this Section and without
limiting the foregoing, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in any
such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a
successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

                        Section 7.  INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that
Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding,
he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

                        Section 8.  ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.  The Corporation
shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection
with any Proceeding within twenty days after the receipt by the Corporation of a
statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from
time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. 
Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by
or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately
be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such
Expenses.

                        Section 9.  PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT
TO INDEMNIFICATION.

                        (a)  To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in
connection with any Proceeding, and for the duration thereof, Indemnitee shall
submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such
documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is
reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the Corporation shall, promptly
upon receipt of any such request for indemnification, advise the Board in
writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

                        (b)  Upon written request by Indemnitee for
indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, a determination, if required by
applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made
in such case:  (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent
Counsel (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the
Board or the shareholders, in which case in the manner provided for in clauses
(ii) or (iii) of this Section 9(b)) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of
which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; (ii) if a Change of Control shall not
have occurred, (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
Disinterested Directors, or (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of
Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, or even if such quorum is obtainable,
if such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, either (x) by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to
Indemnitee, or (y) by the shareholders of the Corporation, as determined by such
quorum of Disinterested Directors, or a quorum of the Board, as the case may be;
or (iii) as provided in Section 10(b) of this Agreement.  If it is so determined
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be
made within ten (10) days after such determination.  Indemnitee shall cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to
Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or
information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and
which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination.  Any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons
or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Corporation
(irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee's entitlement to
indemnification) and the Corporation hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

                        (c)  If required, Independent Counsel shall be selected
as follows: (i) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, Independent
Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Corporation shall give written
notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of Independent Counsel so
selected; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, Independent
Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that
such selection be made by the Board, in which event (i) shall apply), and
Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Corporation advising it of the
identity of Independent Counsel so selected.  In either event, Indemnitee or the
Corporation, as the case may be, may within 7 days after such written notice of
selection shall have been given, deliver to the Corporation or to Indemnitee, as
the case may be, a written objection to such selection.  Such objection may be
asserted only on the grounds that Independent Counsel so selected does not meet
the requirements of "Independent Counsel" as defined in Section 1 of this
Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual
basis of such assertion.  If such written objection is made, Independent Counsel
so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has
determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within 20 days after
submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 9(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not
objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the Chancery
Court of the State of Delaware, or other court of competent jurisdiction, for
resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Corporation or
Indemnitee to the other's selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the
appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such
other person as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom
an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent
Counsel under Section 9(b) hereof.  The Corporation shall pay any and all
reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent
Counsel in connection with its actions pursuant to this Agreement, and the
Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the
procedures of this Section 9(c), regardless of the manner in which such
Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.  Upon the due commencement date
of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) of this
Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further
responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing).

                        Section 10.  PRESUMPTION AND EFFECTS OF CERTAIN
PROCEEDINGS.

                        (a)  If a Change of Control shall have occurred, in
making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder,
the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has
submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this
Agreement, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that
presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of
any determination contrary to that presumption.

                        (b)  If the person, persons or entity empowered or
selected under Section 9 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 days
after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, the requisite
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been
made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a
misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in
connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such
indemnification under applicable law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such 60-day period
may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if
the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to
entitlement to indemnification in good faith require(s) such additional time for
the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating
thereto; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the foregoing provisions of this Section
10(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification
is to be made by the shareholders pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement and
if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request for such
determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the
shareholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held
within 75 days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B)
a special meeting of shareholders is called within 15 days after such receipt
for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such
purpose within 60 days after having been so called and such determination is
made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is
to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement.

                        (c)  The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim,
issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a
plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of
Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any
criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.

                        Section 11.  REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE.

                        (a)  In the event that (i) a determination is made
pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not
timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to
Section 9(b) of this Agreement and such determination shall not have been made
and delivered in a written opinion within 90 days after receipt by the
Corporation of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification
is not made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after
receipt by the Corporation of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of
indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been
made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is
deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in the Chancery Court of the
State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his
entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.  Alternatively,
Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a
single arbitrator in Delaware.  Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding
seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the
date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding
pursuant to this Section 11(a).  The Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee's
right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

                        (b)  In the event that a determination shall have been
made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to
this Section shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or
arbitration on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of
that adverse determination.  If a Change of Control shall have occurred in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section, the
Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

                        (c)  If a determination shall have been made or deemed
to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such
determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to
this Section, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an
omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not
materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

                        (d)  The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting
in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section
that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding
and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such
arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this
Agreement.

                        (e)  In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this
Section, seeks a judicial adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to
enforce, his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be
indemnified by the Corporation against, any and all expenses (of the kinds
described in the definition of Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him
in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein. 
If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that
Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or
advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately
prorated.

                        Section 12.  NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS;
INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.

                        (a)  The rights of indemnification and to receive
advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled
under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
Corporation, any agreement, a vote of shareholders for a resolution of
directors, or otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement
or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee with respect to
any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to
such amendment, alteration or repeal.

                        (b)  To the extent that the Corporation maintains an
insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors,
officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Corporation or of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Corporation,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or
their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies.

                        (c)  In the event of any payment under this Agreement,
the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take
all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce
such rights.

                        (d)  The Corporation shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if
and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment
under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

                        Section 13.  DURATION OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement
shall continue until and terminate upon the later of:  (a) 10 years after the
date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or of any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
which Indemnitee served at the request of the Corporation; or (b) the final
termination of all pending Proceedings in respect of which Indemnitee is granted
rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any
proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement. 
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors
and administrators.

                        Section 14.  SEVERABILITY.  If any provision or
provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:  (a) the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall  not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this
Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

                        Section 15.  EXCEPTION TO RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION OR
ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.  Except as provided in Section 11(e), Indemnitee shall

        prospective Sublicensee. INNOVATIVE shall have the
        right to approve of said Sublicensee. Such approval
        shall not be unreasonably withheld. If INNOVATIVE
        does not object in writing within forty-five (45)
        days of said written notice, approval shall be
        presumed conclusively to have been given.

  3.3   ROYALIES AND PAYMENTS

        3.3.1  MINIMUM ROYALTIES.  In partial consideration
               for the license granted hereunder, ENTREMED
               shall pay minimum royalties to INNOVATIVE. 
               Such minimum royalty shall be negotiated no
               later than the filing of a New Drug Application
               (NDA) with the Food and Drug Administration. 
               To the extent the minimum royalties paid are in
               excess of the royalties earned, such excess
               shall be credited to the next royalties due
               which are not required to be paid as a part of
               any minimum royalties.

        3.3.2 ROYALTIES.  In partial consideration for the license
              granted hereunder, ENTREMED shall pay royalties to
              INNOVATIVE of six percent (6%) of Net Sales of
              Product incorporating a Transfer Factor specific for
              a Herpes Simplex I or Herpes Simplex II antigen. If
              INNOVATIVE is required to pay a royalty to NJC on the
              sale of any product by ENTREMED, ENTREMED will pay
              INNOVATIVE an additional royalty of two percent (2%)
              of Net Sales. In the event that ENTREMED issues a
              royalty-bearing license to a sublicensee, then
              ENTREMED shall pay INNOVATIVE a royalty of 35% of
              revenues received from such sublicensee.  Sales of a
              Product shall be subject to only one royalty to
              INNOVATIVE under this Agreement, regardless of the
              number of Patents or claims thereof applicable to the
              manufacture or sale of such Product.  No royalties as
              set forth in this Article shall be payable on sales
              for resales between or among ENTREMED and/or its
              affiliates, subsidiaries or sublicensees, the final
              sale to a third party alone being used for the
              purpose of determining the royalty payments due
              hereunder.

        3.3.3  MANNER OF PAYMENT.  Payment of royalties
               specified in Sections 3.11 and shall be made 
               by ENTREMED to INNOVATIVE within thirty (30) 
               days after March 31, June 30, September 30, and 
               December 31, of each year during the term of this 
               License Agreement covering the payments received 
               during the preceding calendar quarter. The last such
               payment shall be made

                               -5-


<PAGE>




                   within forty-five (45) days after termination of this
                   Agreement.  Except as otherwise stated herein, all payments
                   to be made under this Article shall be paid in United States
                   dollars in Rockville, Maryland, or at such other place and
                   in such other way, as INNOVATIVE may reasonably designate,
                   without deduction of exchange, collection or other charges. 
                   A royalty shall be paid on product and method when
                   appropriate as where a Product is sold and a method
                   licensed.

         3.3.4     ROYALTIES ACCRUED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.  Royalties on the
                   Net Sales of Products shall accrue and be computed in the
                   currency of the country in which such sales shall have been
                   made by ENTREMED or its sublicensees and such royalties
                   shall be payable in United States dollars, using as the rate
                   of exchange the prevailing official selling rate in United
                   States dollars as stated in the Wall Street Journal (New
                   York Edition) as of the last day of the ninety (90) day
                   period referred to in Article 3.3.3 above.  If at any time,
                   legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or
                   all royalties with respect to any jurisdiction where the
                   Products are sold, ENTREMED and its sublicensees shall have
                   the right to make such payments by depositing the amount
                   thereof in local currency to INNOVATIVE's account in a bank
                   or depository in such jurisdiction.  If any Amount so
                   deposited has not been remitted after a period of two (2)
                   years, ENTREMED shall pay INNOVATIVE the U.S. dollar
                   equivalent of such amount (determined as provided in Article
                   3.3.4 as of the date of deposit) and the amount so deposited
                   shall become the property of ENTREMED.

         3.3.5     TAXES.  Any and all taxes levied by proper taxing authority
                   and paid by ENTREMED on account of royalties accruing to
                   INNOVATIVE under this Agreement, remittable from a country
                   in which provision is made in the law or by regulation for
                   withholding of taxes, may be deducted from such royalty paid
                   by ENTREMED, provided that proof of payment is provided to
                   INNOVATIVE as evidence of such payment.

         3.3.6     LATE PAYMENT.  In the event that any payment due hereunder
                   is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest
                   beginning on the first date following the due date as herein
                   specified, calculated at the ANNUAL rate of the sum of (a)
                   three percent (3%) plus (b), the prime interest rate quoted
                   by the Wall Street Journal on the date said payment is due
                   the interest being compounded on the last day of each
                   calendar quarter, provided that in no event shall said
                   annual rate exceed the maximum legal interest rate in
                   Colorado.  The payment of such interest shall not foreclose
                   INNOVATIVE from exercising any other rights it may have as a
                   consequence of the lateness of any payment.

         3.3.7     RECORDS - AUDIT RIGHTS.  ENTREMED shall keep true books of
                   account

                                         -6-

                   containing an accurate record of all data necessary for the
                   determination of the amounts payable under Article 3.3.2
                   hereof.  Said records shall be kept at ENTREMED's principal
                   place of business or the principal place of business of the
                   appropriate division of ENTREMED to which this Agreement
                   relates.  Said records shall be available for inspection by
                   a certified public accountant, selected by INNOVATIVE and
                   reasonably acceptable to ENTREMED, during regular business
                   hours for five (5) years following the end of the calendar
                   year to which they pertain in order to allow INNOVATIVE to
                   ascertain the correctness of any report and/or payment made
                   under this Agreement.  Said inspection shall be at
                   INNOVATIVE's expense, unless the inspection reveals that
                   ENTREMED underpaid by five percent (5%) or more, in which
                   case the inspection's reasonable cost shall be ENTREMED'S
                   responsibility.  The provision of this Section 3.3.7 shall
                   survive termination of this Agreement.

         3.3.8     REPORTS.  Within forty-five (45) days after March 31, June
                   30, September 30, and December 31, of each year in which
                   this Agreement is in effect after the first commercial sale
                   of a Product, ENTREMED shall deliver to INNOVATIVE full,
                   true and accurate reports of its activities and the
                   activities of its sublicensee(s), if any, relating to this
                   Agreement during the preceding three month period.  Each
                   such report shall be accompanied by the royalty payments due
                   and payable as provided for in Section 3.3.2. If no
                   royalties are due, ENTREMED shall so report.  Reports shall
                   include at least the following information relating to the
                   Product made, used or sold pursuant to the rights to be
                   granted herein:

                   (1)  the quantity of such Product manufactured, used and
                        sold or methods performed;

                   (2)  the total billings for such Product sold, where
                        applicable;

                   (3)  the deductions applicable to a determination of Net
                        Sales;

                   (4)  the total royalties due.


              ARTICLE 4 -- RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON PRODUCTS OUTSIDE THE FIELD

    4.1  PRODUCTS OUTSIDE THE FIELD.  For Products outside the Field,
         INNOVATIVE shall present to ENTREMED a proposal to develop the Product
         outside the Field.  Such proposal shall include a budget and timetable
         for completing the development of the Product.  ENTREMED shall notify
         INNOVATIVE within 30 days whether ENTREMED shall elect to license the
         Product.  If ENTREMED elects to license the Product, the parties agree
         to modify this Agreement to expand the Field to include such Product

                                        -7-

<PAGE>

         and to otherwise grant to ENTREMED the exclusive license under the
         Patents and Know-How with respect to such Product.  ENTREMED also
         agrees to enter into a sponsored research agreement under which that
         Product will be developed; which efforts will be considered a part of
         the "Work" as used in this Agreement.

    4.2  THIRD PARTY NEGOTIATIONS.  If ENTREMED elects not to license the
         Product outside the Field as provided in Section 4.1 above, INNOVATIVE
         shall, during the 60 day period following ENTREMED's decision not to
         license the Product, be free to grant such rights to third parties on
         terms that are not substantially more favorable to any such third
         party than those offered to ENTREMED.  Thereafter, INNOVATIVE shall be
         free to grant a license on the Product to a third party free of any
         restrictions.

                   ARTICLE 5 -- REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         AGREEMENT, INNOVATIVE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
         INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
         MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO
         ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, SOFTWARE, NON-PUBLIC OR OTHER INFORMATION, OR
         TANGIBLE RESEARCH PROPERTY, LICENSED OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO ENTREMED
         HEREUNDER, EXCEPT AS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS
         THE SAME.  INNOVATIVE DOES NOT WARRANT THE VALIDITY OF THE LICENSED
         PATENTS HEREUNDER AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER WITH REGARD
         TO THE SCOPE OF THE LICENSED PATENTS, OR THAT SUCH LICENSED PATENTS
         MAY BE EXPLOITED BY LICENSEE, AFFILIATE OR SUBLICENSEE WITHOUT
         INFRINGING OTHER PATENTS.  INNOVATIVE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION THAT ANY
         BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS LICENSED HEREUNDER ARE FREE FROM LIABILITY FOR
         PATENT INFRINGEMENT.

                   ARTICLE 6 -- PATENT PROSECUTION AND INFRINGEMENT.

    6.1  Subject to the reimbursement of foreign filing costs as outlined in
         Section 6.2, INNOVATIVE shall be responsible for prosecution of all
         Patents and shall be responsible for all costs related to prosecution
         of the Patents.

    6.2  ENTREMED shall reimburse INNOVATIVE for the costs related to entering
         national phase for International Application No. PCT/US91/04779.  The
         total cost for entering National Phase is $30,946.62.

    6.3  The parties shall each give prompt notice to the other of any possible
         infringement of the Patents or Know-How by third parties as may come
         to its knowledge. ENTREMED shall have the right, but not the
         obligation, to prosecute any such infringement.  If ENTREMED has not
         within six (6) months of the date it was notified or otherwise becomes
         aware of an infringement, either terminated such infringement, abated
         such infringement by granting a sublicense, at initiated legal action
         against the infringer, INNOVATIVE shall have the right, but not the
         obligation, to prosecute an action against the infringer.

    6.4  Either party instituting the action may join the other party as a
         plaintiff in such proceeding if necessary to prosecute such actions,
         but shall indemnify and hold harmless the party so joined against
         attorneys' fees, court costs or damages resulting from the use of such
         party's name in the action.

    6.5  Any party that has instituted an action in accordance with the
         provisions of this Article 6 shall have sole authority to prosecute,
         settle and compromise the claim without the consent of the other party
         as long as such other party is not required to

                                        -9-

<PAGE>


         make any monetary payment, transfer any rights in or to the Patents or
         the Know-How, or become subject to an injunction.  ENTREMED shall not
         enter into any settlement that effects INNOVATIVE's rights or
         interests without INNOVATIVE's prior written consent,

    6.6  Any settlement amount or monetary damages awarded and actually
         received in any such proceeding shall be applied, first, to reimburse
         the prosecuting party for its costs and expenses (including attorneys'
         fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such prosecution.  Of the
         remainder, (i) INNOVATIVE shall receive an amount equal to such
         remainder times a fraction, the numerator of which is.06 (or .08 if a
         royalty payment is then due NJC), and the denominator of which is the
         then prevailing royalty rate payable by sublicensees (if any) of
         ENTREMED for the sale of Product under the Patents or the Know-How of
         the same general type manufactured or sold by the alleged infringer,
         and ENTREMED shall receive the balance, or (ii) if no sublicensees
         then exist, INNOVATIVE shall receive six percent (6%) (or eight
         percent (8%) if a royalty payment is then due NJC) of the Assumed Net
         Sales (as defined herein) of such Product sold by the alleged
         infringer, and ENTREMED shall receive the balance "Assumed Net Sales"
         shall mean ENTREMED's reasonable estimate of the Net Sales by ENTREMED
         required to generate net operating income to ENTREMED equal to the
         remainder.

    6.7  PATENT INFRINGEMENT BY ENTREMED.  If, in order to make, use or sell a
         product under the Patents or the Know-How, ENTREMED is accused of
         infringing a patent owned by a third party, ENTREMED shall have the
         right either to terminate the corresponding license and related
         royalty payments with regard to the country or countries in which the
         accused infringement occurs; or after consultation with INNOVATIVE,
         enter into negotiations with such other party to obtain rights under
         the third party patent.  If, in obtaining such rights and after
         consultation with INNOVATIVE, ENTREMED is required to make payments to
         a third party in consideration for rights under a patent owned or
         controlled by said third party, the royalties payable to INNOVATIVE on
         sales in the country in which ENTREMED has obtained such rights shall
         be reduced by the amount of said payment, except that the royalty
         payable to INNOVATIVE shall not be reduced to less than one percent,
         or three percent if a royalty payment is due to NJC, of Net Sales of
         the product at issue in that jurisdiction.

                             ARTICLE 7 -- INDEMNIFICATION

    7.1  INDEMNIFICATION BY ENTREMED. ENTREMED hereby indemnifies and agrees to
         hold INNOVATIVE and its affiliates, employees, directors and agents
         harmless from any claims, demands, suits or causes of action,
         including all judgments, damages and costs (including reasonable
         attorneys' fees) resulting therefrom, arising out of the use,
         manufacture, sale, storage or advertising of any Product by ENTREMED
         or its affiliates or its sublicensees, sold pursuant to the Patents or
         the Know-How.

    7.2  In the event any such action is commenced or claim made or threatened
         against INNOVATIVE, INNOVATIVE shall notify ENTREMED of such event. 
         ENTREMED shall assume the defense of, and may settle, that part of any
         such claim or action commenced or made against INNOVATIVE which
         relates to ENTREMED'S indemnification and ENTREMED may take such other
         steps as may be necessary to protect itself. ENTREMED shall not be
         liable to INNOVATIVE on account of any settlement of any such claim or
         litigation affected without ENTREMED's consent.

         thereafter, each party will maintain in confidence all Confidential
         Information disclosed by the other, and will not use, disclose or
         grant use of such Confidential Information except as expressly
         authorized by this Agreement.  Each party will use at least the same
         standard of care as it uses to protect its own trade secrets or
         proprietary information to ensure that such employees, agents and
         consultants do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of such
         Confidential Information.  Each party will use its best efforts to
         apprise its employees, agents and consultants of the confidential
         nature of the information disclosed to them pursuant to this
         Agreement.  Each party will promptly notify the other upon discovery
         of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

                   by the other party and can be shown by written records;

         8.2.2     was generally available to the public or otherwise part of

                   maintaining such information in confidence have been
                   exhausted;

         8.2.6     is shown by the recipient to be independently developed by
                   the recipient or third party.

                           ARTICLE 9 - TERM AND TERMINATION
