      In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and
conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as

parties from time to time, and any and all applications and registrations
related thereto.

      1.8 LICENSEE'S NET SALES shall mean the actual amount invoiced by Licensee
or its sub-licensees to a third party other than a sub-licensee, for the sale of
a Product bearing a Licensed Mark for final sale in a country where a Licensed

actually incurred or allowed with respect to such sale: (i) normal and customary
trade, cash and/or quantity discounts, including any volume, formulary or other
positioning discounts paid or credited to the third party; (ii) import, export,
sales, use, excise and other consumption taxes and custom duties or tariffs, to
the extent and up to the amount mentioned in that respect on the invoice, and
any other governmental charges imposed upon the importation, use or sale of a

the Products, the gross sales price invoiced for the concerned Products shall be
deemed to be increased to an amount equal to the concerned Product's market
price or arm's length price as described above.

      2.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Licensor hereby grants to Licensee : (A) In the Licensed Territory: a
royalty-free, exclusive, nontransferable (except as provided for in Section 7.1
herein), license to use the Licensed Marks in the Licensed Territory for the
manufacture, registration, promotion and/or distribution of Products under the
Licensed Marks; provided that in case the Development and Distribution Agreement
is terminated due to IPSEN being in breach under the Development and
Distribution Agreement and as from the date the Development and Distribution
Agreement is terminated for said reason, the license granted under this Section
2.1(A) will be limited to the Reduced Licensed Territory as constituted on the
date of termination of the Development and Distribution Agreement, and will be
granted in consideration for payment by Licensee to Licensor of a royalty of
***% (*** percent) of Licensee's Net Sales achieved in the Reduced Licensed
Territory, and,

(B) In the Reserved Territory: in case the Development and Distribution
Agreement is terminated due to MEDICIS being in breach under the Development and
Distribution Agreement and as from the date the Development and Distribution
Agreement is terminated for said reason, an exclusive, nontransferable (except
as provided for in Section 7.1 herein), license to use the Licensed Marks in the
Reserved Territory for the manufacture, registration, promotion and/or
distribution of Products under the Licensed Marks in consideration for payment
by Licensee to Licensor of a royalty of ***% (*** percent) of Licensee's Net
Sales achieved in the Reserved Territory.

      Licensor undertakes to sign any amendment to this Agreement promptly upon
Licensee's request so as to include :

(a) in Exhibit A attached hereto, any trademark added to Appendix 5 of the
Development and Distribution Agreement,

(b) in Exhibit B attached hereto, any Product Extension and/or New Product which
is either included in MEDICIS's scope of appointment under Article 2 of the
Development and Distribution Agreement in accordance with the provisions of
Article 7.1 of the Development and Distribution Agreement, or which is the
subject of an agreement between IPSEN and MEDICIS for its development and/or
distribution in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.2 of the Development
and Distribution Agreement.

Subject to Licensor's prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld), Licensee may sublicense the foregoing rights only to sublicensees who
will use the Licensed Marks to manufacture, promote and distribute the Products,
except that Licensee shall be free to grant any sublicenses, without the
necessity of Licensor's prior approval, (i) to Licensee's or Licensee's
Affiliates' third-party licensees or distributors for Licensee's or Licensee's
Affiliates' products in the Licensed Territory, as appointed on the date of
signature of this Agreement, and (ii) to Licensee's Affiliates. Licensee shall
cause any sub-licensees under the Licensed Marks to comply with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as applicable.

Nothing herein shall be construed as an obligation for Licensee to use the
Licensed Marks in connection with the manufacture, registration, promotion
and/or distribution of the Products in the Licensed Territory (or in the
Extended Licensed Territory or Reduced Licensed Territory as applicable).

For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee is hereby entitled to have any Product
manufactured under the Licensed Marks in any country worldwide as long as it is
intended for registration, promotion and/or distribution thereof under the
Licensed Marks in the Licensed Territory or, as applicable, in

<PAGE>

the Extended Licensed Territory or in the Reduced Licensed Territory in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

      2.2 Reservation of Rights. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor is the sole
owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks, and that
Licensee has not acquired, and shall not acquire, any right, title or interest
in or to the Licensed Marks except the right to use such Licensed Marks as
expressly set forth in this Agreement. All rights of Licensor in and to the
Licensed Marks not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by
Licensor. Should any right, title or other ownership in the Licensed Marks
become vested in Licensee against Licensor's will, Licensee agrees to assign
should Licensor so requests, and hereby assigns, all such right, title, and
other ownership to Licensor free of additional consideration. Licensee shall
provide and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effectuate and record
such assignment to Licensor.

      Nothing herein shall prohibit Licensor from using the Licensed Marks
within the Reserved Territory except as expressly provided for in Section 2.1 in
case of termination of the Development and Distribution Agreement for Licensor's
breach under the Development and Distribution Agreement.

2.3    Option :

MEDICIS hereby grants IPSEN, during the term of this Agreement :

- the exclusive option to acquire the Licensed Marks in the Licensed Territory
as provided for in Article 12.3 of the Development and Distribution Agreement,

- the exclusive option to acquire the Licensed Marks after termination or expiry
of the Development and Distribution Agreement, in the Licensed Territory, or as
applicable according to Section 2.1(A) or (B) of this Agreement, in the Extended
Licensed Territory or in the Reduced Licensed Territory, in accordance with the
following : IPSEN may exercise the option from time to time after termination or
expiry of the Development and Distribution Agreement, to acquire the Licensed
Marks in one or more countries of the Licensed Territory, or as applicable
according to Section 2.1(A) or (B) of this Agreement, the Extended Licensed
Territory or Reduced Licensed Territory, as indicated from time to time by
IPSEN, under reasonable commercial purchase conditions to be negotiated in good
faith between MEDICIS and IPSEN. Should MEDICIS and IPSEN be unable to reach
agreement with respect to such purchase conditions, IPSEN's option shall not be
extinguished and may be exercised for the same and/or other country/ies of the
Licensed Territory (or as applicable according to Section 2.1(A) or (B) of this
Agreement, of the Extended Licensed Territory or Reduced Licensed Territory),
whenever IPSEN deems it appropriate during the term of this Agreement.

      2.4 Registration Rights and Expenses - Maintenance and renewal. Licensor
shall retain the exclusive right to apply for, obtain, and maintain
registrations for the Licensed Marks solely in Licensor's name throughout the
world, provided however that (i) Licensor shall apply for the Licensed Marks
registration solely in those countries of the Licensed Territory (or as
applicable, in those countries of the Extended Licensed Territory or Reduced
Licensed Territory) as Licensee shall indicate from time to time to Licensor,
and (ii) should Licensor fail to apply for or maintain any such registration
within 30 days as from any Licensee's written request thereto (or within shorter
delay in case a Licensed Mark registration or application would expire failing
Licensor's immediate intervention), Licensee shall be entitled to proceed to
such applications or maintenance in the name of Licensor.

Licensor shall bear the costs and expenses for applying for and maintaining any
such registrations in the Reserved Territory until and if Licensee is granted
rights under the Licensed Marks in the Reserved Territory as provided for under
Section 2.1 (B) above, in which last case Licensee shall
