Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership of the Company's securities and changes in reported ownership. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations from the reporting persons that no Form 5 was required, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were met, other than the late filing of one Form 5 filing by Mr. Bailey to report certain options held by his spouse that should have been reported on his initial Form 3 filing.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees and consultants, a copy of which is posted on the Company's website at www.imclone.com. The Company intends to disclose any substantive amendment or waivers to such code.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee monitors the integrity of the Company's financial statements, the independence, qualifications and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of the Company's internal auditors and the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is also responsible for retaining, evaluating, and, if appropriate, recommending the termination of, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board on August 14, 2003, as amended and restated. The amended and restated charter is posted on the Company's website at www.imclone.com. The Audit Committee met nine times during fiscal year 2007. The current members of the Audit Committee are Jules Haimovitz (Chairman), Peter S. Liebert and Charles Woler. In addition, John A. Fazio (then-Chairman) and William R. Miller served on the Audit Committee until Mr. Fazio's resignation from the Board on April 24, 2007 and Mr. Miller's retirement from the Board on August 2, 2007. Each of these members is independent under the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) rules and listing standards currently in effect. The Board had determined that Mr. Haimovitz was an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of applicable SEC rules during fiscal year 2007 and Mr. Fazio was an audit committee financial expert up through the date of his resignation.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Company's general executive compensation philosophy is based on the premise that compensation should relate to both the Company's and the executive officer's performance, and should be set at levels that support the Company's business strategies and long-term objectives while being closely aligned with the stockholders' interests. Recruitment and retention of leadership to manage the Company requires a competitive compensation package. The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") believes that the appropriate elements of the executive compensation package are base salary, an annual cash bonus and long-term equity incentive compensation.

It should be noted that in 2007, the Company appointed new individuals to the following executive positions:

•: Chief Executive Officer
•: Senior Vice President, Research
•: Vice President, Business Development
•: Vice President, Human Resources and
•: Interim Vice President, Finance

In addition, the composition of the Compensation Committee changed with the departure of William R. Miller and the additions of Thomas F. Deuel, Jules Haimovitz and Carl C. Icahn in August 2007.

Corporate and Individual Goals

The Company's management collectively formulated goals for 2007, which were then approved by the Company's Board of Directors and/or Compensation Committee. The Company's 2007 corporate goals and objectives were to:

•

maximize ERBITUX® revenues, by

•: achieving a specified dollar amount in U.S. sales;
•: expanding the Company's sales force to sixty-five field sales representatives;
•: developing a filing strategy for certain additional ERBITUX-related sBLA filings;
•: commencing Phase II trials in new tumor types; and
•: completing an agreement with BMS to require BMS to further invest in the clinical development and commercialization of ERBITUX;

•

move product candidates (11F8, 1121B, A12, 18F1, 3G3) into the next stage of clinical development;

•

hire a Chief Executive Officer;

•

aggressively pursue out-licensing opportunities related to ERBITUX and our pipeline candidates as well as in-licensing opportunities of late stage product candidates on favorable terms;

•

develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to optimize our BB50 manufacturing facility while maintaining our ability to meet long term commercial and clinical product supply forecasts;

•

continue researching and pursuing innovative targets and prepare to deliver an IND for product candidate EB10 (Flt 3);

•

reorganize research activities through establishment of new departments based on relevant functional areas;

•

establish at least one new broad area of biological research within the Company and initiate a program to develop antibodies directed to key targets which define that research area;

•

make a decision about the future location of research activities of the Company and develop a plan for implementing this decision;

•

win or settle on favorable terms all intellectual property litigations; and

•

file at least twenty new patent applications in 2007.

The achievement of these corporate goals and objectives was assessed at the end of the year by the Compensation Committee with input from the executive officers of the Company. We achieved certain goals, such as (i) expanding the sales force to sixty-five field sales representatives, (ii) completing an amendment to the agreement with BMS, (iii) commencing Phase II trials in new tumor types, (iv) moving product candidates into the next stage of clinical development, (v) hiring a Chief Executive Officer, (vi) aggressively pursuing licensing opportunities, (vii) developing and implementing a strategy for our BB50 manufacturing facility, (viii) preparing to deliver an IND for EB10 (Flt 3), (ix) reorganizing research activities, and (x) establishing a new broad area of biological research. However, we did not achieve other goals such as (a) achieving a specified dollar amount in U.S. sales, (b) making a decision about the future location of research activities, (c) settling all intellectual

property litigations, although it should be noted that the Company settled two of the three largest intellectual property litigations, and (d) filing at least twenty new patent applications.

In addition to the corporate goals, each executive officer also established individual goals in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. Individuals goals were approved by the Compensation Committee for Michael Bailey, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations; Peter Borzilleri, Interim Vice President, Finance; Richard Crowley, Senior Vice President, Biopharmaceutical Operations; Daniel J. O'Connor, Senior Vice President and General Counsel; Eric K. Rowinsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer; and Larry Witte, Senior Vice President, Research. No goals were common to all of the executive officers, although the goals for Messrs. Bailey, Crowley and Dr. Rowinsky significantly overlapped with the corporate goals. For instance, all three shared the goal to maximize ERBITUX revenues, including achieving a specified dollar amount in U.S. sales. In addition, the goals for Dr. Witte overlapped with the corporate goals that related to the Company's research. The remaining goals for each executive officer were specific to such officer's job and were dependent on a combination of objective and subjective criteria. For example, Mr. Borzilleri had goals specific to the Finance Department such as "ensure timely and accurate periodic closings and external financial reporting", Dr. Witte had goals specific to the Research Department such as "restructure the organization of the Research Department", while Dr. Rowinsky also had goals relating to the launching of specified clinical trials for our other pipeline candidates and developing regulatory strategies relating to the use of ERBITUX in additional indications.

The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved the corporate goals and the individual goals for executive officers for 2007. As part of the year-end review process, each executive officer evaluated his or her performance against the individual goals. Our Chief Executive Officer, John Johnson, with input from the Vice President, Human Resources, then appraised the performance of each executive officer by reviewing his or her individual goals and self-evaluation. After completing the review, Mr. Johnson provided a performance assessment of each executive officer against the individual goals and assigned performance ratings, in accordance with performance ratings that are assigned to all employees of the Company, of Clearly Outstanding, Exceeds Expectations, Meets Expectations, or Below Expectations.

The executive officers all received ratings of either Exceeds Expectations or Meets Expectations, which are overwhelmingly the most common ratings given to employees of all levels throughout the Company. Based upon his review and ratings, Mr. Johnson then provided his recommendations for each executive officer to the Compensation Committee for salary increase, bonus and restricted stock unit ("RSU") award. All of the recommendations were within company guidelines for salary increases, bonuses and RSU awards that had been approved by the Compensation Committee for all employees. These company guidelines provide for (i) ranges of salary increases for all employees from nothing for employees rated at Below Expectations to 7% or more of base salary for employees rated at Clearly Outstanding, and with most employees receiving a salary increase between 2% and 6% of base salary, (ii) ranges of bonuses depending upon level, with Vice Presidents receiving approximately 32% for Meets Expectations and 37% for Exceeds Expectations and Senior Vice Presidents receiving approximately 38% for Meets Expectations and 43% for Exceeds Expectations, and (iii) ranges of RSU awards depending upon level, with Vice Presidents receiving 2,720 RSUs for Meets Expectations and 4,080 RSUs for Exceeds Expectations and Senior Vice Presidents receiving 6,000 RSUs for Meets Expectations and 8,000 RSUs for Exceeds Expectations. In addition, employees may receive salary increases for promotions and/or salary adjustments for below market salaries that range from 4% to 10% for employees up to the level of Vice President if required based upon internal and external benchmarking against similar positions. Salary increases for promotions and/or salary adjustments for below market salaries for Vice Presidents and above are agreed upon by the Human Resources Department, the relevant executive officer, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, as needed. The recommendations for salary adjustments for below market

salaries for Drs. Rowinsky and Witte and Messrs. Bailey and Crowley generally were more than the amounts designated for all other employees in the approved guidelines because we benchmarked the base salaries and total compensation for the executive officers against comparable companies in our industry and determined that, in some instances, our base salaries were significantly lower, and in nearly all instances our total compensation was lower.

The Compensation Committee discussed the performance of each executive officer in an executive session and considered such performance, as well as the approved guidelines before approving final compensation. For each new executive officer appointed in 2007, any bonus and RSU awards were prorated. Executive officers appointed after September 30, 2007 received no bonus or RSU awards. The Compensation Committee met with the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President, Human Resources to discuss each executive officer except when the Compensation Committee discussed the Chief Executive Officer or the Vice President, Human Resources. The Chief Executive Officer was present for the discussion of the Vice President, Human Resources. No executive officer was present for the discussion of the Chief Executive Officer.

For 2007, salaries for all Senior Vice Presidents were set at $325,000, which the Compensation Committee viewed as fair compensation for that level, except for Dr. Rowinsky, who received a base salary of $415,000. In establishing base salaries for 2008, bonuses and RSU awards for the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered the executive's annual review, awards given to the executive in past years, progress toward or attainment of the Company's corporate goals and objectives including performance, stockholder return and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deemed appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Compensation Committee followed the recommendations provided by Mr. Johnson for 2008 salary increases and 2007 bonuses for the executive officers. However, the Compensation Committee decided not to follow the recommendations for the RSU awards. Instead, the Compensation Committee decided to reduce the amount of each RSU award for the executive officers by approximately 25% to reflect that some of the corporate goals were not met. The actual compensation approved by the Compensation Committee for each executive officer was within company guidelines that had been approved for all employees for salary increases and bonuses, but was below the company guidelines for RSU awards. It should be noted that Drs. Rowinsky and Witte and Messrs. Bailey and Crowley received additional salary adjustments because their total compensation was below market. In addition, during 2008 the Compensation Committee, on its own initiative, decided to award 20,000 RSUs to Dr. Rowinsky, all of which vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date, and 10,000 RSUs to Mr. Crowley, all of which vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date, in order to provide an added incentive for these two key executive officers to remain with the Company over the next three years.

The Compensation Committee periodically considers the appropriate combination of cash and stock equity-based compensation and weighs the competitiveness of the Company's overall compensation arrangements in relation to comparable biopharmaceutical companies. In 2007, the Company's Human Resources Department retained ORC Worldwide, a compensation consultant, to assist with structuring the Company's various compensation programs and determining appropriate levels of base salary, bonus and other compensatory awards payable to the Company's executive officers and other key employees. ORC Worldwide provided comprehensive benchmarking of base salary, bonus and annual RSU awards for each executive officer position. ORC Worldwide benchmarked the Company using a variety of surveys, including the ORC Executive Compensation Survey, the Mercer Executive Compensation Survey, the Watson Wyatt Executive Compensation Survey, and data drawn from the salary.com online proxy analysis tool. Furthermore, ORC Worldwide weighted data subsets from each of these surveys in order to provide analytical information for companies of appropriate size, product content or organizational activity. The proxy analysis emphasized appropriate industries, including the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, to provide a more precise measurement of the competitive market. ORC Worldwide concluded that: (i) most executive officers at the Company

are compensated in base salary at less than the competitive market, (ii) with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Project Management, all executive officer positions have a target bonus percentage that is significantly below the competitive market, and (iii) the Company's overall RSU grant values appear to be significantly below the competitive market. ORC Worldwide further concluded that the overall package for most executive officer positions at the Company is significantly below the competitive market. Our analysis of executive compensation does not provide for a percentage comparison against the competitive market.

Section 162(m) of the Code imposes a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that the Company may deduct in any one year with respect to its Chief Executive Officer and four most highly compensated other executive officers. Certain performance-based compensation approved by stockholders is not subject to the deduction limit. In fiscal year 2004, the Company's stockholders approved an annual incentive plan for executive officers of the Company that satisfies the requirement of Code Section 162(m). It is the general policy of the Company to have its executive compensation plan qualify to be treated as deductible compensation whenever, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee, it would be consistent with the objectives of the annual incentive plan and the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. At other times, the Company reserves the right to provide compensation to its employees that is not fully deductible.

Base Salary. The Compensation Committee reviews the history of, and recommendations for, the compensation of the Company's executive officers, including cash and equity-based components. The Compensation Committee believes that the base salaries are appropriate as base compensation to compensate the Company's executive officers for the functions they perform and other considerations. Base salaries are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and may be adjusted in accordance with factors such as individual performance, the functions performed by the executive officer, and changes in the compensation peer group in which the Company competes for executive talent. The weight given such factors by the Compensation Committee may vary from executive to executive. For 2007, salaries for all Senior Vice Presidents were set at $325,000, which the Compensation Committee viewed as fair compensation for that level, except for Dr. Rowinsky, who received a base salary of $415,000. In December, 2007, prior to the year-end review process for 2008, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in salary of $50,000, for a total salary of $375,000, for Mr. Crowley, and a promotion to Executive Vice President and an increase in salary of $85,000, for a total salary of $500,000, for Dr. Rowinsky. These amounts were higher than for other executive officers because Mr. Crowley and Dr. Rowinsky were identified as key employees that the Company wanted to retain, and the increase in salary was an effort to position their total compensation more competitively against externally benchmarked talent. The salary increases place the total compensation for Mr. Crowley just under the median for comparable positions and Dr. Rowinsky significantly above the median for comparable positions. Mr. Crowley and Dr. Rowinsky did not receive additional increases in their base salaries as part of the year-end process. At year-end, the remaining officers received increases in their base salaries of various amounts based upon internal and external benchmarking against similar positions, with such salary increases being agreed upon by the Human Resources Department, the relevant executive officer, the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors, as needed.

Annual Bonus Compensation. The Compensation Committee's policy of awarding annual cash bonuses is designed to specifically relate executive pay to Company and individual performance. Bonuses provide financial rewards for the achievement of substantive individual and Company objectives. As discussed above, the Compensation Committee sets target amounts for bonuses based upon grade level and performance rating. The target amounts are a percentage of base salary. These target amounts are part of the approved guidelines and are significantly below the competitive market based upon data from ORC Worldwide. All of the bonuses for the executive officers were within the approved guidelines for all employees.

Equity Compensation. The Company grants share-based compensation to help retain employees since equity awards generally have multi-year vesting periods as well as to align employees' interests with stockholders' interests. Stock options have value to an employee only if the Company's stock price increases above the employee's option exercise price and the employee remains employed by the Company for the period required to exercise the stock options. Stock options and RSUs provide an incentive to improve the Company's performance and an incentive to remain employed by the Company. Share-based compensation directly links a portion of an employee's compensation to stockholders' interests by providing an incentive to maximize stockholder value. The Company's stock incentive programs are broad-based, and the substantial majority of its full-time employees received RSU grants in 2007. With respect to the executive officers, the Compensation Committee decided not to follow the recommendations provided by Mr. Johnson for the RSU awards. Instead, the Compensation Committee decided to reduce the amount of each RSU award for the executive officers by approximately 25% to reflect that some of the corporate goals were not met. In addition, during 2008 the Compensation Committee decided to award 20,000 RSUs to Dr. Rowinsky, all of which vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date, and 10,000 RSUs to Mr. Crowley, all of which vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date, in order to provide an added incentive for these two key executive officers to remain with the Company over the next three years.

Equity Compensation Plans. On September 20, 2006, the shareholders approved and the Company adopted the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "06 Plan"). Under the 06 Plan, the Company has the ability to grant (i) stock options; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) restricted stock awards; (iv) RSU awards; (v) performance awards; and (vi) other share-based awards. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted or used for reference purposes under the 06 Plan is limited to 5,500,000 shares plus common stock available for grant under prior plans. Any shares of common stock that are subject to awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights will be counted against this limit as two shares for every share granted. As of December 31, 2007, the number of remaining shares authorized and available for grant under the plans discussed above was approximately 6,370,585. Any common stock referenced in a stock-based award which is cancelled, forfeited or expires, whether such award was granted under the 06 Plan or prior plans, shall again become available for grant under the 06 Plan.

In general, equity grants that executive officers receive when they begin employment or are promoted at the Company are exercisable 25% each year, vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. Beginning in 2005, subsequent equity compensation grants generally are exercisable 33¹/3% each year, vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. Equity compensation grants are typically made in the first quarter of the year at a price that is equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. From time to time, the Company grants stock options to executive officers that have different vesting schedules.

While the Company continues to grant stock options to new hires and in connection with promotions, in February 2007 and 2008, the Company awarded RSU under the 06 Plan to its executive officers in lieu of stock options for the equity portion of their annual compensation. In light of the historic volatility of the market price of the Company's common stock and the Company's desire to provide an attractive mechanism to retain employees, the Compensation Committee concluded that use of RSU awards is more efficient in delivering value to employees at the conclusion of the vesting period than stock option awards.

For 2007, the Compensation Committee determined that a fixed number of RSUs should be given to employees based upon grade level and performance rating. The Company does not have any guidelines regarding annual size of equity awards relative to total outstanding shares.

In November 2007, the Board of Directors decided that all equity grants that are issued going forward from that date would not be subject to the change in control provision in the 06 Plan, which generally provides that option awards will be fully vested and immediately exercisable and restrictions on RSU awards will lapse upon (i) the occurrence of a change-in-control, unless the Compensation Committee concludes that such awards will continued following such change-in-control, or (ii) the termination of the participant without cause or resignation for good reason within 18 months of such change-in-control. However, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, issue discrete equity grants that are subject to the change in control provision in the 06 Plan.

Retention Plan. Following discussions with its compensation consultant at the time, in January 2006 the Compensation Committee approved and the Company adopted a 2006-2008 Retention Plan (the "Retention Plan"), effective as of January 1, 2006, for performance periods commencing on January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 (each, a "Performance Period"). At the same time, the Compensation Committee approved the share performance criteria that will be used to determine cash bonus awards under the Retention Plan, and the terms of the individual awards to eligible employees under the Retention Plan for each of the two Performance Periods. In general, the target dollar amounts for eligible employees are the same for the two Performance Periods.

The purpose of the Retention Plan was to create long-term incentive awards covering the 2006-2008 period, at levels the Compensation Committee thought appropriate, for executives and other employees in light of the limited number of shares remaining available for grant under the 2002 Stock Option Plan. Since the Compensation Committee's current preference is to make equity awards, the Compensation Committee does not expect to make any additional awards under the Retention Plan or to adopt any similar multi-year non-equity compensation plans in the near future.

Based upon the grant date stock price (which was $32.99), each participant in the Retention Plan will have the opportunity to earn cash in the amount of (i) 150% of the target award opportunity if the average share price for the thirty-day period ending on the last day of a performance period is at least 150% of the grant date stock price, (ii) 100% of the target award opportunity if such average share price with respect to a performance period is 100% of the grant date stock price, or (iii) zero if such average share price with respect to a performance period is less than the grant date stock price. Linear interpolation will be used to calculate the percentage of the target award opportunity earned for performance above the grant date stock price, up to a maximum of 150% of the target award opportunity. In order for Retention Plan participants to receive their target awards for the January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008 performance periods, the average share price for the thirty-day periods ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 will have to be at least $32.99. In order for Retention Plan participants to receive their maximum awards for the January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008 performance periods, the average share price for the thirty-day periods ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 will have to be at least $49.48.

Change-in-Control Plan. The Board adopted a Change-in-Control Plan effective September 1, 2004, as amended February 16, 2006. The stated purpose of the plan was to maintain the focus of certain key employees of the Company on the business, mitigate the distractions that could be caused if the Company were to become the target of an acquisition strategy, and provide certain benefits to the covered employees if a change-in-control of the Company (as such term is defined in the plan, a "Change-in-Control") occurs and/or the employee's employment is terminated in connection with such change-in-control. Participants in the Change-in-Control Plan are selected by the Compensation Committee. Currently, Dr. Rowinsky and Messrs. Crowley and Bailey participate in the Change-in-Control Plan, all of whom are tier 2 participants. It was intended that executive officers would be put into different tiers based upon their title and grade. For instance, the Chief Executive

Officer would be tier 1, executive vice presidents and senior vice presidents would be tier 2, certain vice presidents would be tier 3 and other vice presidents would be tier 4. However, generally the Compensation Committee decided that the officers should be tier 2 or tier 3 participants. The structure of the tiers was developed to be consistent with competitive practice, which the Compensation Committee determined to be reasonable based on the analysis prepared by its outside compensation consultants at the time. However, since October 2006, new executive officers have not been added to the Change-in-Control Plan because the Compensation Committee has concluded that the Change-in-Control Plan benefits are overly generous.

In the event of a Change-in-Control, all equity-based compensation awards held by the plan participants will vest in full (unless the Compensation Committee determines that the participants' awards will be substituted for equity awards in the surviving entity of equivalent economic value) and any deferred compensation of participants will become non-forfeitable. In addition, if a participant in the Change-in-Control Plan is terminated in connection with a change-in-control by the Company without "cause" or by the participant for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the plan), the Company will pay to the participant a cash payment equal to the participant's earned but unpaid base salary and bonus, unreimbursed expenses, any other accrued obligations, a pro rata bonus based on target bonus for the year of termination, and a multiple of base salary and bonus (with the multiplier ranging from 0.5 to three based on the tier assigned to the participant under the plan, with tier 2 participants receiving a multiplier of 2 and tier 3 participants receiving a multiplier of 1).

The plan permits alternative treatment of excise taxes imposed on participants pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. Dr. Rowinsky and Messrs. Crowley and Bailey are eligible to receive a full gross-up payment by the Company, subject to the Plan's limitations.

The Change in Control Plan defines "cause" as the occurrence of (i) an indictment of the participant involving a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence by the participant resulting, in either case, in harm to the Company, (iii) failure by the participant to carry out the directions of the Board or the participant's immediate supervisor, as the case may be, or (iv) fraud, embezzlement, theft or dishonesty against the Company or a material violation of a policy or procedure of the Company, resulting, in any case, in harm to the Company.

participant's principal place of abode as of the date of such change in job location without the participant's prior written consent, or (iv) a failure of the Company to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation under the Change-in-Control Plan by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company within 45 days after a merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction that qualifies as a Change in Control.

Severance Plans. To enhance the predictability of treatment for executives at the level of Vice President and above whose employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause, the Compensation Committee approved and adopted a Senior Executive Severance Plan, effective in 2004, and continues to believe that it generally provides adequate protection for its participants. Under this plan, each covered employee is eligible to receive a severance payment from the Company (varying between six and twelve months of the employee's base salary depending on title and length of service) upon any involuntary termination of his or her employment by the Company without cause. In addition, following discussions with its then compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee determined that additional protection on termination was desirable for certain Vice Presidents and that such termination protection was also needed for selected other employees. Accordingly, in February 2006, the Compensation Committee adopted a Transition Severance Plan (the "Transition Plan") for such employees. The Transition Plan was adopted in order to retain certain key employees at a time when the Company was evaluating strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including a merger, sale or strategic alliance and provided for twelve months of base salary for all participants following either termination by the Company other than for cause or resignation by the employee following a change-in-control for good reason. The Company announced in August 2006 that it was no longer pursing such strategic alternatives, so the Transition Plan was not renewed upon its expiration in August 2007.

Perquisites and Other. In 2004, the Compensation Committee eliminated personal-benefit perquisites such as golf club memberships and car allowances for executive officers. There are no outstanding loans of any kind to any executive officer, and federal law prohibits any new company loans to executive officers. The Company expects its executive officers to be role models under, and to comply with, its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is applicable to all employees. In addition, the Company has adopted an additional code of ethics for its Chief Executive and Senior Financial Officers. Copies of both codes are posted on the Company's website www.imclone.com.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The Compensation Committee follows the same philosophy of compensation for the Chief Executive Officer as it does for its other executives. The Compensation Committee tries to ensure that the Chief Executive Officer's compensation is commensurate with that of chief executive officers of comparable corporations.

The Company did not have a Chief Executive Officer from October 24, 2006 until Mr. Johnson began his employment on August 27, 2007. While the Company did not have a Chief Executive Officer, a then-newly formed Executive Committee of the Board (the "Executive Committee") was created. The Executive Committee served as the principal executive body for the Company until Mr. Johnson's employment commenced. The Executive Committee continues to advise Mr. Johnson on issues facing the Company, and it is chaired by Dr. Denner and includes Dr. Mulligan.

Mr. Johnson signed an employment agreement with a term of four years. Pursuant to the employment agreement, he received a sign-on bonus of $100,000, and he will receive an annual base salary of $600,000 while he serves as Chief Executive Officer, which amount was prorated to reflect service commencing on August 27, 2007. Mr. Johnson also participates in the Company's annual incentive plan, applicable to senior executives, with an annual cash target award of 100% of base salary.

He also received a grant of restricted stock units in the amount of 31,347 RSUs (representing shares of the Company's common stock with a market value of $1 million on the grant date), vesting in equal amounts over four years, and an option to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Company's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, also vesting in equal amounts over four years. Mr. Johnson purchased 13,609 shares of the Company's common stock on September 7, 2007 with a market value of $500,000 on such date, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.

Mr. Johnson does not participate in the Company's Change in Control Plan or Senior Executive Severance Plan. Instead, in the event of Mr. Johnson's termination by the Company without cause or his resignation for good reason, whether or not in connection with a Change of Control, Mr. Johnson will be entitled to receive severance equal to 12 months of base salary plus a prorated cash bonus together with the immediate vesting of the RSUs and the stock option described above. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, such RSUs and stock option will vest immediately upon the occurrence of such event. In the employment agreement, "Change of Control" is defined as any person (other than (i) any shareholder who, as of the date of the agreement has a Schedule 13D on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or (iii) any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), that acquires, in a single transaction or a series of transactions (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise), beneficial ownership of securities representing 100% of voting power of the Company.

The Company relied on Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., a compensation consultant that was retained by the Compensation Committee, to help negotiate the agreement with Mr. Johnson. The Compensation Committee agreed to the amount of the base salary and bonus based upon benchmarking of similar companies. The Compensation Committee agreed to provide the RSUs and option to purchase common stock both as a retention tool and because it thought that it is important for the Chief Executive Officer to own the Company's stock in order to align his interests with the shareholders. The Compensation Committee also required Mr. Johnson to purchase $500,000 of the Company's common stock at prevailing market prices to further align his interests with the shareholders. The Company believes that Mr. Johnson's total compensation is slightly below the median for the competitive market.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Company's Compensation Committee was engaged in a related party transaction with, or was an officer or employee of, the Company or its subsidiaries during 2007. There are no interlocking relationships involving the Company's Compensation Committee and the board of directors or members of a compensation committee of any other company that would require disclosure under the executive compensation rules of the SEC.

David Sidransky, the chairman of the Company's Compensation Committee, is a director and approximately 34% shareholder of Champions Biotechnology, Inc. (Champions). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Research and Development Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors have approved entering into a transaction with Champions to conduct research on tumors taken from patients and inserted into mice. Although no formal agreement has been concluded with Champions at this time, the Company anticipates that payments to Champions under the proposed transaction would be approximately $198,000.

Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements

Senior Executive Severance Plan

To enhance the predictability of treatment for executives at the level of Vice President, Senior Vice President and Executive Vice President whose employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause (as such term is defined in the plan), the Compensation Committee approved and adopted a Senior Executive Severance Plan effective as of October 20, 2004.

As a condition to receipt of benefits under the plan, a participating employee must sign an agreement and general release in a form acceptable to the plan administrator under which the participant agrees to certain confidentiality and non-solicitation provisions for a period of one year following his or her employment termination date, agrees to certain non-competition provisions for the duration of the employee's receipt of severance pay, and releases and discharges the Company and its affiliates from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the employee's employment with the Company or the termination of the employee's employment. Receipt of benefits under the plan is also contingent upon the employee's continued employment through the employment termination date designated by the Company. The severance amounts payable to an employee under the plan will be reduced, dollar-for-dollar, by the amount of any other termination payments paid or payable to the employee under any other plan, program or law (excluding any right to exercise stock options, any unemployment benefits payable in accordance with state law and payment for accrued but unused vacation).

The Senior Vice Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents who participate in the plan and sign the above-described agreement and release upon their termination without cause are entitled to receive an amount equal to one year's base salary as severance and, if the employee would otherwise be eligible to elect employee-paid continued coverage under COBRA, Company-provided health insurance coverage for one year following a termination without "cause", subject to cessation upon the employee's becoming eligible for similar coverage offered by another employer. Senior Vice Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents would also be entitled continue their non-voluntary life insurance coverage provided by the Company with the premiums paid by the Company for 12 months after a termination without cause, subject to cessation when the employee becomes eligible for coverage under a life insurance plan or policy of another employer. Vice Presidents who meet the above criteria are entitled to the greater of six months' base salary or two weeks' base salary for each year of service with the Company, as well as six months of Company-paid health and life insurance coverage, subject to the conditions described above.

Transition Severance Plan

The Compensation Committee adopted the Transition Severance Plan (the "Transition Plan"), effective March 1, 2006, to provide additional protection on termination for certain Vice Presidents of the Company and termination protection for select other employees. Under this plan, each covered employee was eligible to receive a severance payment from the Company (varying between six and twelve months of the employee's base salary) upon any involuntary termination of his or her employment by the Company without cause and, following any change in control of the Company, upon his or her voluntary termination of employment for good reason.

As a condition to receipt of benefits under the Transition Plan, a participating employee must sign an agreement and general release in a form acceptable to the plan administrator under which the participant releases and discharges the Company and its affiliates from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the employee's employment with the Company or the termination of the employee's employment. Receipt of benefits under the plan was also contingent upon the employee's continued employment through the employment termination date designated by the Company. The severance amounts payable to an employee under the plan were to be reduced, dollar-for-dollar, by the amount of any other termination payments paid or payable to the employee under any other plan, program or law (excluding any right to exercise stock options or other long-term incentive awards, any unemployment benefits payable in accordance with state law and payment for accrued but unused vacation). With respect to participating employees in a position at the level of Vice President, the severance pay amounts under the Transition Plan were intended to be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any amounts otherwise payable under the Senior Executive Severance Plan, if applicable to such participant pursuant to the terms of that plan, and such participant may be eligible for the continued health benefits set forth in the Senior Executive Severance Plan, if applicable to such participant pursuant to the terms of that plan.

The Transition Plan terminated upon its expiration on August 31, 2007.

Change-in-Control Plan

The Board adopted a Change-in-Control Plan effective September 1, 2004, as amended February 16, 2006. The stated purpose of the plan was to maintain the focus of certain key employees of the Company on the business, mitigate the distractions that could be caused if the Company were to become the target of an acquisition strategy, and provide certain benefits to the covered employees if a change-in-control of the Company (as such term is defined in the plan, a "Change-in-Control") occurs and/or the employee's employment is terminated in connection with such change-in-control. Participants in the Change-in-Control Plan are selected by the Compensation Committee. Currently, Dr. Rowinsky and Messrs. Crowley and Bailey participate in the Change-in-Control Plan, all of whom are tier 2 participants. It was intended that executive officers would be put into different tiers based upon their title and grade. For instance, the Chief Executive Officer would be tier 1, executive vice presidents and senior vice presidents would be tier 2, certain vice presidents would be tier 3 and other vice presidents would be tier 4. However, generally the Compensation Committee decided that the officers should be tier 2 or tier 3 participants. The structure of the tiers was developed to be consistent with competitive practice, which the Compensation Committee determined to be reasonable based on the analysis prepared by its outside compensation consultants at the time. However, since October 2006, new executive officers have not been added to the Change-in-Control Plan because the Compensation Committee has concluded that the Change-in-Control Plan benefits are overly generous.

the Change-in-Control Plan is terminated in connection with a change-in-control by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason (as such terms are defined in the plan), the Company will pay to the participant a cash payment equal to the participant's earned but unpaid base salary and bonus, unreimbursed expenses, any other accrued obligations, a pro rata bonus based on target bonus for the year of termination, and a multiple of base salary and bonus (with the multiplier ranging from 0.5 to three based on the tier assigned to the participant under the plan, with tier 2 participants receiving a multiplier of 2 and tier 3 participants receiving a multiplier of 1).

In connection with a termination described in the preceding sentence, if the participant signs a waiver and release of claims against the Company and its affiliates, each participant will vest in full in all long-term incentive arrangements he or she has with the Company and be entitled to continued health coverage for six to 18 months (based on the participant's plan tier) and outplacement services for six months. These benefits are reduced by any other severance amounts for which the participants are eligible under any other arrangement of the Company or its subsidiaries. As a condition to receipt of these benefits, each participant agrees to be bound by noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality, return of Company property, and cooperation covenants contained in the plan. The Change-in-Control Plan also provides for (i) alternative treatment of excise taxes imposed on participants pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, subject to certain limitations, including a full gross-up payment by the Company, a payment cutback to 2.99 times the Base Amount (as defined in the plan), no gross-up treatment, the better of a payout cutback or no gross-up treatment, or such other alternatives as the Compensation Committee shall determine, each as specified by the Compensation Committee at the time of designation of an executive as a participant in the plan (or thereafter, subject to the conditions of the plan) and (ii) specific provisions to comply with the payment delays required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A in the event an executive is a "key employee" within the meaning of such Section. Dr. Rowinsky and Messrs. Crowley and Bailey are eligible to receive a full gross-up payment by the Company, subject to the plan's limitations. The non-competition and non-solicitation covenants have a term of twelve months after the termination date for tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 participants, and six months after the termination date for tier 4 participants. In addition, the confidentiality covenant has no time limit as long as a participant has trade secret, proprietary or confidential information.

The Change in Control Plan defines resignation for "good reason" as the occurrence of any of the following within the 60-day period preceding the date of termination: (i) a material adverse diminution of the participant's titles, authority, duties or responsibilities, or the assignment to the participant of titles, authority, duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with his or her titles, authority, duties and/or responsibilities in a manner materially adverse to the participant, (ii) a reduction in the participant's base salary, annual target bonus, or maximum bonus without the participant's prior written consent (other than any reduction applicable to employees generally), (iii) an actual change in the participant's principal work location by more than 75 miles and more than 75 miles from the participant's principal place of abode as of the date of such change in job location without the participant's prior written consent, or (iv) a failure of the Company to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation under the Change-in-Control Plan by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company within 45 days after a merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction that qualifies as a Change in Control.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change- in-Control

The following table sets forth amounts that would be paid to the Company's NEOs who were employed on December 31, 2007, in the event of (i) an involuntary termination of employment by the Company without cause or termination by the employee for good reason and (ii) the continuation of employment by the employee upon the occurrence of a Change-in-Control and (iii) upon a termination of employment following a Change-in-Control either by the Company without cause or by the employee for good reason.

				Change-in-Control (1)
Name	Termination (2)			Employment Continues (3)		Employment Terminates (4)
John H. Johnson Chief Executive Officer	$	600,000	(5)	$	5,232,921	$	6,932,921
Peter R. Borzilleri Interim Vice President, Finance, and Principal Financial Officer	$	151,046		$	334,679	$	485,725

(1): The closing price of the Company's stock of $43.00 on December 31, 2007 is used to calculate the value of stock options that would vest upon a Change-in-Control on that date. The 30-day average stock price leading up to an including December 31, 2007 of $42.73 was used to calculate the value of the Retention Plan grants.
(2): Except in the case of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Borzilleri, represents one year of base salary as of December 31, 2007. Mr. Borzilleri would receive one-half his annual salary upon a termination under the Senior Executive Severance Plan.
(3): Represents the value of the executive's stock options, RSU and Retention Plan awards assuming vesting on December 31, 2007. Some unvested stock options held by the executives as of December 31, 2007 had no value as the exercise prices were above the closing price of the Company's stock on December 31, 2007.
(4): Represents the value of the executive's equity based compensation in (3), plus two times the total of the executive's base salary plus 2007 bonus, except for Mr. Johnson, who would receive one time his annual salary under his employment agreement, and Mr. Borzilleri who would receive one-half his annual salary upon a Change-in-Control under the Senior Executive Severance Plan. The amounts for Dr. Rowinsky and Messrs. Johnson, Crowley, and Bailey do not include any amounts for potential gross-up payments which could be given to these executives as discussed under "Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements—Change-in-Control Plan.

(5): In the event of the termination of Mr. Johnson's employment without cause or his resignation for good reason, in addition to one year's base salary, Mr. Johnson's outstanding stock option and RSU awards would vest immediately pursuant to his employment agreement and he would also be entitled to a pro rata annual cash bonus award for the year of termination, based on actual results, payable in the following year at the time bonuses are paid to similarly situated senior-level executives generally.

Upon the resignation of Ana I. Stancic as Senior Vice President, Finance of the Company on September 28, 2007, Ms. Stancic did not become entitled to any payments from the Company other than in respect of accrued unused vacation time.

Director Cash Compensation

On June 7, 2007, the Board approved the following annual compensation guidelines for non-employee directors for the remainder of 2007:

Chairman of the Board—$60,000

Vice Chairman—$50,000

Other Non-Employee Directors—$40,000

Each non-employee director is reimbursed for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his Board and Board committee activities.

During 2007, the chairman of the Audit Committee was entitled to additional annual compensation at the rate of $20,000, or pro-rated portion thereof for the portion of the fiscal year served, for his services as committee chairman. The chairman of the Compensation Committee was entitled to additional annual compensation of $12,500, or a pro rated portion thereof for portions of the fiscal year served, as compensation for his services as committee chairman. Each chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Research and Development Oversight Committee was entitled to receive additional annual compensation of $10,000, or a pro rated portion thereof for portions of the fiscal year served, as compensation for his services as committee chairman. Each member of the Audit Committee (other than the chairman) was paid additional annual compensation of $5,000, or a pro rated portion thereof for portions of the fiscal year served. In addition, during 2007, each non-employee director received a fee of $1,500 for each in-person Board or committee meeting attended and $1,000 for each telephonic Board or committee meeting attended that exceeded 30 minutes in length.

The Board has approved the foregoing compensation guidelines for 2008 service as well.

On July 3, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved a one-time payment of $1,000,000 for Dr. Mulligan for his service on the Executive Committee.

Director Stock Options

On October 24, 2006, the Board determined that it would forego all equity grants (including option grants) for directors for one year, including one-time grants for joining the Board. Since then, the Board has not reinstated equity grants for directors. Starting at the beginning of 2006, newly joining directors were entitled to receive a 20,000 stock option grant. Prior to 2006, newly joining directors were entitled to receive a 50,000 stock option grant. Such options vest 25% annually over the four-year period commencing with the date of grant, subject to such individual's continued service on the Board on the scheduled date of vesting, and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. From time to time, non-employee directors of the Company may be granted additional options or other stock-based awards in consideration for providing services on the Board.

With respect to 2007 service, no option grants were provided to non-employee directors of the Company. Historically, newly joining directors are granted a pro rata portion of such an annual stock option grant on the quarterly vesting schedule applicable to the corresponding annual grant to the Board. Such annual option grants vest quarterly within the year, subject to the individual's continued service on the Board on the scheduled date of vesting and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. However, in the event a non-employee director leaves the Board, his annual share option grant vests daily for the quarterly period in which his service as a director ended.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Relationship with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

One of the Company's directors, Andrew R. J. Bonfield, is also an officer of BMS, a Delaware corporation. The Company's relationship with BMS is described below.

On September 19, 2001, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with BMS and Bristol-Myers Squibb Biologics Company, a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMS (BMS Biologics), providing for the tender offer by BMS Biologics to purchase up to 14,392,003 shares of the Company's common stock for $70.00 per share, net to the seller in cash. The tender offer by BMS Biologics, available to all stockholders, allowed for the Company's then-current employees and directors who held exercisable options to purchase the Company's shares of common stock having exercise prices less than $70.00 per share to conditionally exercise any or all of those options and tender the underlying shares in the tender offer. On October 29, 2001, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, BMS Biologics accepted for payment, pursuant to the tender offer, 14,392,003 shares of the Company's common stock on a pro rata basis from all tendering stockholders and those conditionally exercising stock options.

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company entered into the Stockholder Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed with BMS and BMS Biologics to various arrangements regarding the respective rights and obligations of each party with respect to, among other things, the ownership of shares of the Company's common stock by BMS and BMS Biologics. The Stockholder Agreement also sets forth BMS' (i) limitation on additional purchases of shares, (ii) option to purchase shares in the event of dilution and (iii) restrictions as to transfer of shares. Concurrently with the execution of the Acquisition Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, the Company entered into a development, promotion, distribution and supply agreement (the "Commercial Agreement") with BMS and E.R. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. (E.R. Squibb), a Delaware limited liability company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMS, relating to ERBITUX®, the Company's lead therapeutic product, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties are co-developing and co-promoting ERBITUX in the U.S. and Canada, and co-developing and co-promoting ERBITUX in Japan (either together or co-exclusively with Merck KGaA).

On March 5, 2002, the Company amended the Commercial Agreement with E.R. Squibb and BMS. The amendment changed certain economics of the Commercial Agreement and expanded the clinical and strategic role of BMS in the ERBITUX development program. One of the principal

economic changes to the Commercial Agreement resulted in the Company's receipt of $140.0 million on March 7, 2002, and an additional payment of $60.0 million on March 5, 2003, in lieu of the $300.0 million payment the Company would have received on acceptance by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the ERBITUX biologics license application under the original terms of the Commercial Agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to resume construction of the Company's multiple product facility, BB50, as soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of the amendment.

On July 27, 2007, the Company and BMS further amended the Commercial Agreement (the "Second BMS Amendment"). Under the Second BMS Amendment, the companies have jointly agreed to expand the investment in the ongoing clinical development plan for ERBITUX. With this additional funding, the companies will further explore the use of ERBITUX in additional tumor types including brain, breast, bladder, esophageal, gastric, lung, pancreas and prostate. Under the Second BMS Amendment, ERBITUX clinical development and other costs, up to threshold amounts, are the sole responsibility of BMS, with costs in excess of the thresholds shared by both companies according to a predetermined ratio effective January 1, 2007.

The Stockholder Agreement gave BMS the right to nominate two directors so long as its ownership interest in the Company is 12.5% or greater. Dr. Andrew G. Bodnar, BMS's Senior Vice President, Strategy, served as a BMS director through his resignation on May 7, 2007. On April 25, 2007, BMS designated Andrew R. J. Bonfield as a BMS director.

In exchange for the rights granted to BMS under the amended Commercial Agreement, the Company has received up-front and milestone payments totaling $900.0 million in the aggregate, of which $200.0 million was received on September 19, 2001, $140.0 million was received on March 7, 2002, $60.0 million was received on March 5, 2003, $250.0 million was received on March 12, 2004 and $250.0 million was received on March 31, 2006. No such further payments are contemplated by the Commercial Agreement with respect to ERBITUX. All such payments are non-refundable and non-creditable. Except for the Company's expenses incurred pursuant to a co-promotion option that the Company has exercised, E.R. Squibb is responsible for 100% of the distribution, sales and marketing costs for ERBITUX in the U.S. and Canada, and, as between the Company and E.R. Squibb, the Company and E.R. Squibb will each be responsible for 50% of the distribution, sales, marketing costs and other related costs and expenses in Japan. The Commercial Agreement provides that E.R. Squibb shall pay the Company distribution fees based on a percentage of annual net sales of ERBITUX by E.R. Squibb in the U.S. and Canada. The distribution fee is 39% of net sales in the U.S. and Canada. The Commercial Agreement also provides that, as between BMS and the Company, the distribution fees for the sale of ERBITUX in Japan by E.R. Squibb or the Company shall be equal to 50% of operating profit or loss with respect to such sales for any calendar month. The Commercial Agreement provides that the Company shall be responsible for the manufacture and supply of all requirements of ERBITUX in bulk form active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for clinical and commercial use in the territory and that E.R. Squibb shall purchase all of its requirements of API for commercial use from the Company. The Company shall supply API for clinical use at the Company's fully-burdened manufacturing cost, and shall supply API for commercial use at the Company's fully-burdened manufacturing cost plus a mark-up of 10%. In addition to the up-front and milestone payments, distribution fees for the U.S., Canada and Japan and the 10% mark-up on the commercial supply of ERBITUX, prior to the Second BMS Amendment, E.R. Squibb was also responsible for 100% of the cost of all clinical studies, other than those studies undertaken post-launch which were not pursuant to an investigational new drug application (e.g. phase IV studies), the cost of which was to be shared equally between E.R. Squibb and the Company. As between E.R. Squibb and the Company, each was responsible for 50% of the cost of all clinical studies in Japan. As a result of the Second BMS Amendment, clinical development costs in the U.S. and Canada, up to threshold amounts, will be the sole responsibility of E.R. Squibb with costs in excess of the threshold amounts shared by E.R. Squibb

and the Company according to a predetermined ratio. In addition, under certain limited circumstances, the Company reserves the right to conduct certain sole-funded registrational studies.

Pursuant to the Commercial Agreement as described above and the Company's development and license agreement with Merck KGaA, the Company had granted E.R. Squibb and Merck KGaA co-exclusive rights (together with or without the Company) to develop, distribute and promote ERBITUX in Japan. Subsequently, on October 12, 2007, the Company entered into agreements with Merck KGaA, Merck Serono Japan Company, Limited, E.R. Squibb, Bristol-Myers K.K., and BMS for the co-development and co-commercialization of ERBITUX in Japan. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company, BMS, Merck KGaA, and their respective affiliates will collaborate on a joint effort to develop and, following regulatory approval, market ERBITUX in Japan for the treatment of EGFR-expressing metastatic colorectal cancer, as well as for the treatment of any other cancers the parties agree to pursue. BMS and Merck KGaA will utilize their respective sales forces in Japan, and the three companies will share development costs incurred and profits/losses realized as a result of this collaboration. Merck Serono Japan will distribute the product and record the sales for the collaboration. The agreements have a term of twenty-five years; provided that either BMS or Merck KGaA may terminate the agreement without cause upon three months' notice if ERBITUX is not launched in Japan by December 31, 2009 and without cause upon six months' notice following the earlier of a launch of a biosimilar product in Japan and the tenth anniversary of the agreements.

The terms of these new agreements provide that Merck KGaA will receive 50% of the profit/loss from sales in Japan and bear 50% of the related development expense, and the Company and BMS will each receive 25% of the profit/loss and bear 25% of the related development expense. The sharing of profit/loss reflects the co-exclusive rights to ERBITUX in Japan previously granted by the Company to Merck KGaA and BMS. In addition to its percentage of profit/loss, the Company will receive from Merck KGaA a royalty equal to 4.75% of total net sales in Japan. Any bulk ERBITUX supplied by the Company pursuant to the agreements for use in Japan will be at its fully-burdened manufacturing cost.

Champions Biotechnology, Inc.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Research and Development Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors have approved entering into a transaction with Champions Biotechnology, Inc. (Champions) to conduct research on tumors taken from patients and inserted into mice. David Sidransky, a member of the Company's Board, is a director and approximately 34% shareholder of Champions. Although no formal agreement has been concluded with Champions at this time, the Company anticipates that payments to Champions under the proposed transaction would be approximately $198,000.

Icahn Sourcing LLC

Icahn Sourcing LLC (Icahn Sourcing) is an entity formed and controlled by Carl C. Icahn, the Chairman of the Company's Board, in order to leverage the potential buying power of a group of entities, which Mr. Icahn either owns or otherwise has a relationship, in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services, and tangible and intangible property. The Company is a member of the buying group and, as such, is afforded the opportunity to purchase goods, services and property from vendors with whom Icahn Sourcing has negotiated rates and terms. Icahn Sourcing does not guarantee that the Company will purchase any goods, services or property from any such vendors, and the Company is under no obligation to do so. The Company does not pay Icahn Sourcing any fees or other amounts with respect to the buying group arrangement. The Company has purchased a variety of goods and services as a member of the buying group at prices and on terms that it believes are more favorable than those which would be achieved on a stand-alone basis.

Policies and Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

The Board of Directors has adopted a policy for the review and approval of transactions involving the Company and "related persons" (directors and executive officers, their immediate family members and beneficial owners of 5% or more of the Company's common stock). This policy applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which the Company or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a "related person" has a "direct or indirect material interest" within the meaning of the applicable SEC rules. Under the policy, Company management will determine whether a transaction is covered by the policy and hence should be referred to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for approval, ratification, revision, termination or other action. Based on its consideration of all the relevant facts and circumstances, the Committee will decide whether or not to approve such transaction and will approve only those transactions that are in the best interests of the Company. If a transaction is ongoing, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may establish guidelines for management to follow in its dealings with the related party and shall periodically monitor the transaction to ensure that it continues to be in the best interest of the Company. No director shall participate in any discussion or approval of a transaction of such director is the related person.

We did not follow the related person transaction policy described above in connection with the entry into the Japan agreements, Second BMS Amendment, Acquisition Agreement, the Stockholder Agreement or the Commercial Agreement transactions with BMS and its affiliates described above as those transactions were entered into prior to the adoption of the policy.

We did follow the related party transaction policy described above in connection with the possible transaction with Champions.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Under the Amended and Restated Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, a majority of the Board shall consist of directors who are neither officers or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor have a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and who, at such times as the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) require, are otherwise "independent" under such rules. A copy of the Amended and Restated Corporate Governance Guidelines is posted on the Company's website at www.imclone.com. Our Board of Directors consults with outside counsel to ensure that the Board of Directors' determinations are consistent with all relevant laws and regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and Section 10A of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors has also reviewed the directors' responses to a questionnaire asking about their transactions, relationships and arrangements with the Company (and those of their immediate family members) and other potential conflicts of interest. Other than as set forth herein, these questionnaires did not disclose any transactions, relationships, or arrangements that question the independence of our directors.

After reviewing this information, our Board of Directors affirmatively has determined that all of our directors are independent directors within the meaning of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200, other than Mr. Bonfield. The Board of Directors concluded that Mr. Bonfield is not "independent" as he is an executive officer of BMS and was designated as a director pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement with BMS.

In addition to the requirements for independence contained in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200, Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d) provides that members of the Audit Committee must meet the criteria for independence set forth in Section 10A(m) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated by the Commission thereunder which provide that members of the Audit Committee may not be "affiliated persons" of the Company. The Board of Directors has determined for the purposes of

determining who may serve on the Company's Audit Committee, Messrs. Bonfield, Icahn and Denner have been excluded.

The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee satisfy the standards of independence applicable to members of such committees established under applicable law and the Nasdaq listing rules.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

Audit Fees

KPMG LLP served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. The aggregate fees for the fiscal years 2006 and 2007 for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP in connection with (a) the audits of the Company's annual financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, (b) the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2006 and 2007 and (c) services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, were $1,667,600 and $1,530,500, respectively.

All Other Fees

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint or replace the independent registered public accounting firm (subject, if applicable, to stockholder ratification). The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. The independent registered public accounting firm is engaged by, and reports directly to, the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has adopted a formal policy whereby it pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm. In the event pre-approval for such auditing services and permitted non-audit services cannot be obtained as a result of inherent time constraints in the matter for which such services are required, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been granted the authority to pre-approve such services, and will report for ratification such pre-approval to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has complied with the procedures set forth above, and has otherwise complied with the provisions of its charter.
