if any, made by Landlord in the Prime Lease. With respect to
work, services, repairs and restoration or the performance of
other obligations required of Landlord under the Prime Lease,

expiration of applicable cure periods) under the
Prime Lease if it involved Sub-Landlord or the
premises covered by the Prime Lease:

Sub-Tenant shall be deemed to be in default hereunder, and Sub-Landlord may

{Page}

and all rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in the Prime Lease in the
event of a default by Sub-Landlord thereunder, but only to the extent applicable
hereunder.

obligation to Sub-Tenant to do so). In such event, amounts so
paid and amounts expended in undertaking such performance,

expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by Sub-Landlord in
connection therewith, shall be additional rent hereunder.

or damage to person, property or business sustained in or
about the Building, the premises subject to the Prime Lease,

against Sub-Tenant and its officers, directors, partners,
agents and employees for injury or damage to person, property
or business sustained in or about the Building, the premises

Premises or from any breach or default on the part of

may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Sub-Tenant's

letter of credit payable to Sub-Landlord on demand and in form and
drawn on a bank reasonably acceptable to Sub-Landlord. Failure to

CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

This Agreement, made this 29th day of August, 2001 by and among

dated January 1, 1991 and known as Trust No. 11-3370-03 ("Landlord"), ICON

Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Subtenant").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to a written lease dated
February 11, 1998, as amended (the lease as heretofore amended herein called
the "Lease"), under which Lease Landlord demised to Tenant certain premises
known as Suites 280 and 110 in the building located at 111 Barclay Boulevard,
Lincolnshire, Illinois (the "Premises"); and

WHEREAS, Tenant and Subtenant have entered into the sublease (the
"Sublease") attached hereto as Exhibit A for Suite 280 of the Premises
(herein called the "Subleased Premises") and have requested Landlord's
consent to the Sublease; and

WHEREAS, Landlord is willing to consent to the Sublease on the terms
and conditions hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows.

1. CONSENT. Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement all of which shall to the extent
not otherwise reflected in the Sublease, be deemed incorporated in the
Sublease.

2. USE OF SUBLEASED PREMISES. Subtenant will use and occupy the
Premises for the purposes set forth in the Lease and shall not use or occupy,
or permit the use or occupancy of, the Subleased Premises or any part
thereof, for any purpose other than such purpose or in any manner which, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, materially adversely shall affect or
interfere with any services required to be furnished by Landlord or Tenant or
with the proper and economical rendition of any such service.

3. SUBTENANT ALTERATIONS. No alterations shall be made by
Subtenant in the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Lease.

4. WAIVER OF CERTAIN CLAIMS; INDEMNITY BY SUBTENANT.

a. To the extent not expressly prohibited by law,
Subtenant releases Landlord and its beneficiaries, and their agents,
servants, and employees, from and waives all claims for damages to
person or property sustained by the Subtenant or by any occupant of
the Subleased Premises, or by any other person, resulting directly
or indirectly from fire or other casualty, cause, or any existing or
future condition, defect, matter, or thing in or about the Subleased
Premises, or any part of it, or from any equipment or


{Page}

appurtenance therein, or from any accident in or about the Subleased
Premises, or from any act or neglect of any tenant or other occupant
of the building located on the Subleased Premises or any part
thereof or of any other person. The foregoing release shall not
operate as a release of Landlord from liability for the negligent or
intentionally wrongful conduct of Landlord or its agent or
employees. This Paragraph shall apply especially, but not
exclusively, to damage caused by water, snow, frost, steam,
excessive heat or cold, sewerage, gas, odors, or noise, or the
bursting or leaking of pipes or plumbing fixtures, broken glass,
sprinkling or air conditioning devices or equipment, or flooding of
basements, and shall apply without distinction as to the person
whose act or neglect was responsible for the damage and whether the
damage was due to any of the acts specifically enumerated above, or
from any other thing or circumstance, whether of a like nature or of
a wholly different nature. Subject to Section 5(a), if any damage to
the Subleased Premises or any equipment or appurtenance therein,
whether belonging to Landlord or to other tenants or occupants or
otherwise, results from any negligent or wrongful acts of the
Subtenant, its employees, agents, or invitees, Subtenant shall be
liable therefor and Landlord may, at its option, repair such damage
and Subtenant shall upon demand by Landlord reimburse Landlord for
all reasonable costs of such repairs and damages in excess of
amounts, if any, paid to Landlord under insurance covering such
damages. All personal property belonging to the Subtenant or any
occupant of the Subleased Premises that is in the Subleased Premises
shall be there at the risk of the Subtenant or other person only and
Landlord shall not be liable for damage thereto or theft or
misappropriation thereof

b. To the extent not expressly prohibited by law, Subtenant
agrees to hold Landlord and its beneficiaries, and their agents,
servants, and employees, harmless and to indemnify each of them
against claims and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, for injuries to all persons and damage to or theft or
misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the
Subleased Premises arising from Subtenant's negligence or wrongful
acts or from any breach or default on the part of Subtenant in the
performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be
performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Sublease or
due to any other act or omission of the Subtenant, its agents, or
employees.

5. SUBROGATION AND INSURANCE.

a. Landlord and Subtenant agree to have all physical damage or
material damage insurance which may be carried by either of them,
and Subtenant agrees to have all business interruption insurance
which it carries, if any, endorsed to provide that any release from
liability of, or waiver of claim for, recovery from the other party
entered into in writing by the insured thereunder prior to any loss
or damage shall not affect the validity of said policy or the right
of the insured to recover thereunder and providing further that the
insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might
have against the other party. Without limiting any release or waiver
of liability or recovery contained in any other section of this
Agreement, but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, each
of the parties hereto waives all claims for recovery from the other
party for any loss or damage to any of its property or damages as a
result of business interruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything contained in this

2

{Page}

Agreement to the contrary, any release and any waiver of claims
shall not be operative, nor shall the foregoing endorsements be
required, in any case where the effect of such release and waiver is
to invalidate insurance coverage or increase the cost thereof
(provided that, in the case of increased cost, the other party shall
have the right, within ten (10) days following written notice, to
pay such increased cost keeping such release and waiver in full
force and effect).

b. Subtenant shall carry insurance during the entire term of
the Sublease insuring Subtenant and Landlord and Landlord's agents
and beneficiaries with terms, coverages, and in companies reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and with such commercially reasonable
