ICON has advised ARIAD that it expects the first ICON Licensed Product to be a metal drug eluting Stent delivering AP23573 as a single therapeutic agent for use in major coronary arteries and that its development program is focused on such a Stent. For avoidance of doubt, examples of a second ICON Licensed Product include a [***] delivering AP23573 to be used, for example, as a [***] (e.g., for use in a [***]), a [***] for any target vessel, a Stent for [***], a Stent with a [***] than the first ICON Licensed Product, a Stent with a [***], or a [***] that is [***]. For further clarity, a Stent comprised of [***] or [***] for use in the [***] as the first ICON Licensed Product but [***] shall [***] a second ICON Licensed Product. ARIAD acknowledges that ICON has made no guarantees or representations related to its development program including, without limitation, the success of any ICON Licensed Product.

4.3.2 Determination that Payments are Due. ICON shall provide ARIAD with prompt written notice upon its achievement of each of the milestones set forth in Section 4.3.1. In the event that ARIAD believes any milestone payment is due in spite of not having received notice from ICON, it shall so notify ICON and shall provide to ICON the data and information reasonably supporting its belief that the conditions for payment have been achieved. If ICON does not provide reasonable evidence that such milestone has not been achieved within forty five (45) days of receipt of the data and information from ARIAD, the conditions for such milestone payment under Section 4.3.1 shall be deemed to have been achieved.

4.3.3 Skipped Milestones. If, at the time any given milestone payment set forth in Section 4.3.1 is due and one or more preceding milestone payments for antecedent related milestone events have not been paid, then such unpaid antecedent milestone payments shall be paid at such time as well. For example, if a milestone payment is made for granting of a PMA for a Second ICON Licensed Product but no Pivotal Clinical Trial has been initiated or completed for such Second ICON Licensed Product, the milestone payment for the initiation and completion of a Pivotal Clinical Trial will be paid concurrently with the milestone payment for granting of a PMA for the Second ICON Licensed Product.

4.4 Challenge Of Licensed Patents. In further consideration of ARIAD’s grant of the licenses hereunder and except to the extent the following is unenforceable under the laws of a particular jurisdiction where a patent application within the Licensed Patent Rights is pending or a patent within the Licensed Patent Rights is issued, (a) in the event that any of ICON, its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees determines to initiate a Challenge or any of ICON, its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees determines to assist a Third Party in initiating a Challenge, ICON will provide written notice to ARIAD at least forty-five (45) days prior to any such initiation of a Challenge, which notice will include an identification of all prior art that ICON believes invalidates any claim of the Licensed Patent Rights; and (b) in the event that any of ICON, its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees initiates a Challenge or assists a Third Party in initiating a Challenge, the licenses granted by ARIAD to ICON hereunder shall upon written notice to ICON, be terminated as of the date of such notice and the restrictions on ARIAD set forth in Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 shall no longer apply.

4.5 Payment Terms.

4.5.1 Payment of Royalties and Milestones. Except as otherwise provided herein, ICON shall make any milestone or royalty payments owed to ARIAD hereunder, in arrears, within sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar quarter in which such payment accrues. For purposes of determining when a sale of any ICON Licensed Product occurs under this Agreement, royalties shall accrue on the date of the invoice to the purchaser of the ICON Licensed Product. Each royalty payment shall be accompanied by a report for each country in which sales of ICON Licensed Products occurred, and for which a royalty payment is due, in the calendar quarter covered by such statement, specifying: (i) the gross sales (if available) and Net Sales in each country’s currency; (ii) the applicable royalty rate under this Agreement; (iii) the royalties payable in United States Dollars, including an accounting of deductions taken in the calculation of Net Sales; (iv) the applicable exchange rate used to convert from each country’s currency to United States Dollars under this Section 4.5. In no event shall more than one royalty be due ARIAD for any unit of ICON Licensed Product sold by ICON or its Sublicensees or their respective Affiliates or their respective Distributors anywhere in the world. In the event of a sale of an ICON Licensed Product by ICON or a Sublicensee or any of their respective Affiliates to a Distributor in the United States or any Major European Country, the sale to such Distributor shall not be royalty bearing and only the resale by the Distributors shall be the royalty bearing sale.

4.5.2 Overdue Royalties. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, royalties not paid within the time period set forth in this Article 4 shall bear interest at a rate of the lesser of either the maximum legally allowable interest rate or [***] percent ([***]%) per month, from the due date under Section 4.5.1 until paid in full.

4.5.3 Accounting. All payments hereunder shall be made in the United States in United States Dollars. Conversion of foreign currency to United States dollars shall be made at the conversion rate existing in the United States (as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, for purchasing United States Dollars) on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter in which the Net Sales took place. If The Wall Street Journal ceases to be published, then the rate of exchange to be used shall be that reported in such other business publication of national circulation in the United States as the Parties reasonably agree. ICON shall deduct any taxes which ICON is obligated to pay and/or withhold in any country on the payments due under this Agreement and pay them to the proper authorities as required by applicable laws. ICON shall maintain official receipts of payment of any such taxes and forward these receipts to ARIAD within sixty (60) days following such payment and shall provide reasonable assistance to ARIAD in obtaining any legally due credit or refund of such taxes.

4.5.4 Tax Withholding; Restrictions on Payment. All payments hereunder shall be made free and clear of any taxes, duties, levies, fees or charges, except for withholding taxes as set forth in Section 4.5.3. If by law, regulations or fiscal policy of a particular country, remittance of royalties in United States Dollars is restricted or forbidden with respect to royalties arising from a sale made in the local currency of such country, written notice thereof shall promptly be given to ARIAD and royalty payments shall be made in United States Dollars from the United States for as long as such prohibition is in effect.

4.6 Records Retention; Review.

4.6.1 Royalty Record Retention. Commencing as of the date of First Commercial Sale of the first ICON Licensed Product, ICON, its Sublicensees, the Distributors in the United States and Major European Countries, and their Affiliates shall retain, for a minimum of three (3) years from the end of the calendar year to which they pertain, their respective complete and accurate records of sales by ICON and its Affiliates, Distributors in the United States and Major European Countries, and Sublicensees, as the case may be, of each ICON Licensed Product in sufficient detail to allow the accuracy of the payments hereunder to be confirmed.

4.6.2 Review of Royalty Records. Subject to the other terms of this Section 4.6.2, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written request from ARIAD no more frequently than once each calendar year, at ARIAD’s expense (except as provided in this Section 4.6.2 below), ICON shall permit an independent certified public accountant reasonably selected by ARIAD and reasonably acceptable to ICON to inspect (during regular business hours) the relevant records required to be maintained by ICON under this Section 4.6. In every case, the accountant must have previously entered into a confidentiality agreement with both Parties substantially similar to the provisions of Article 5 and limiting the disclosure and use of such information by such accountant to authorized representatives of the Parties and the purposes germane to this Section 4.6. Results of any such review shall be binding on both Parties, absent manifest error. ARIAD agrees to treat the results of any such accountant’s review under this Section 4.6 as Confidential Information of ICON subject to the terms of Article 5. If any review reveals any underpayment by ICON, ICON shall promptly pay ARIAD the amount remaining to be paid, and if such underpayment is by [***] percent ([***]%) or more, ICON shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the review. If any review reveals any overpayment by ICON, ARIAD shall promptly pay ICON the amount of such overpayment.

4.6.3 Affiliates and Sublicensees. ICON shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees and Distributors in the United States and Major European Countries to retain records relating to ICON Licensed Products and permit an independent certified public accountant selected by ARIAD to inspect such records in the same manner as set forth in this Section 4.6.

5.	TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

5.1 Confidentiality Obligations.

5.1.1 Each Party shall be deemed the owner of all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Confidential Information of that Party. ARIAD and ICON each agree that, during the Term and thereafter, it shall (a) keep confidential, and shall cause all of its officers, employees, consultants, Third Party contractors and licensees and the officers, employees, consultants, Third Party contractors and licensees of its Affiliates to keep confidential, all Confidential Information of the other Party, and (b) use, and shall cause all of its officers, employees, consultants, Third Party contractors and licensees or sublicensees and the officers, employees, consultants, Third Party contractors and licensees or sublicensees of its Affiliates to use, all Confidential Information of the other Party solely for purposes expressly permitted under this Agreement. Each Party shall take such action, and shall cause its Affiliates to take such action, to preserve the confidentiality of each other’s Confidential Information as it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but no less than reasonable action.

5.1.2 ARIAD and ICON each agree that any disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information to any officer, employee, consultant, Third Party contractor or licensee of itself or any of its Affiliates (or a clinical investigator or Distributor in the case of ICON) shall be made only to the extent necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, shall be limited to the maximum extent possible consistent with such obligations or rights and shall only be made to persons who are bound by written confidentiality obligations to maintain the confidentiality thereof and not to use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. ICON shall maintain all Confidential Information of ARIAD comprising CMC Data in a secure file with access limited to ICON’s regulatory personnel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ICON shall cause its Affiliates and each Sublicensee or Distributor with access to Confidential Information of ARIAD comprising CMC Data to execute a written confidentiality agreement with ICON in form and substance satisfactory to ARIAD. ICON shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Affiliates, Sublicensees and Distributors to comply with the material terms of such agreement and shall be liable to ARIAD for any breach thereof by any Affiliate, Sublicensee or Distributor.

5.1.3 Except as expressly permitted elsewhere in this Agreement, ARIAD and ICON agree not to disclose or transfer the other Party’s Confidential Information to any Third Parties under any circumstances without the prior written approval from the disclosing Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except solely to the extent necessary or useful in the following circumstances: (i) filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining patents in accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement, (ii) filing, prosecuting or defending litigation in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, (iii) as required to obtain Regulatory Approval to market or sell AP23573 and ICON Licensed Products, (iv) as reasonably necessary to obtain the services of any Third Party contractor in connection with the preclinical or clinical development of ICON Licensed Products, (v) as permitted in the Supply Agreement, or (vi) complying with court orders; provided, however, that if a Party is required to make any such disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to any court order or discovery request, it will give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use reasonable efforts to assist such other Party in efforts to limit disclosure of such information to the maximum extent possible and to secure confidential treatment of such information required to be disclosed.

5.1.4 Each Party, upon the request of the other Party following termination of this Agreement, will return or destroy all the Confidential Information disclosed or transferred to it by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, including all copies and extracts of documents and all manifestations in whatever form; provided however, that one (1) copy of such Confidential Information may be retained in a secure location solely for the purpose of establishing compliance with this Agreement and/or if required by law or regulation.

5.1.5 The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of the Article 5 will result in irreparable harm to the Party whose Confidential Information is subject to such breach or threatened breach, for which remedies at law will not be adequate. Each Party, as a disclosing Party, shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Article 5.

5.2 Publication. Notwithstanding the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Article 5, ICON and its Affiliates, Sublicensees and academic collaborators shall have the right to publish or present the results of its Clinical Trials, but shall have no right to publish ARIAD Confidential Information. In order to balance this right with ARIAD’s proprietary interests, ICON hereby grants to ARIAD the right, and shall obtain from its Affiliates and sublicensees the right for ARIAD to review manuscripts or other material intended for publication, abstracts, posters and other disclosures, including, without limitation, the right of ARIAD to require the removal of any Confidential Information of ARIAD and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the same review rights from its academic collaborators (“Proposed Disclosures”). Such Proposed Disclosures shall be provided to ARIAD at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of submission for publication or other disclosure. In the event that ICON is successful in obtaining such review rights from its academic collaborators, ICON shall provide ARIAD the same review rights subject to ARIAD’s completion of such review as set forth herein. ICON shall not disclose any ARIAD Confidential Information to any academic collaborator unless ICON has obtained such review rights for ARIAD in a written agreement with the academic collaborator. ARIAD shall complete any review hereunder within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Proposed Disclosure, after which ICON, its Affiliates, Sublicensees and academic collaborators shall have the right to publish or present the disclosure as amended by ARIAD.

5.3 Publicity. Neither Party may publicly disclose the existence or terms or any other matter of fact regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may make such a disclosure without the consent of the other Party (a) to the extent required by law or by the requirements of any nationally recognized securities exchange, quotation system or over-the-counter market on which such Party has its securities listed or traded or intends to be listed or traded, or (b) to any professional advisors, potential acquirers, investors, prospective investors, lenders and other potential financing sources who are obligated to keep such information confidential. In the event that such disclosure is required as aforesaid in clause (a), the disclosing Party shall make reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with notice beforehand and to coordinate with the other Party with respect to the wording and timing of any such disclosure. The Parties have agreed upon the form and timing of a press release with respect to execution of this Agreement, which form is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. Once such press release or any other written statement is approved for disclosure by both Parties, either Party may make subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such statement without the further approval of the other Party.

5.4 Use of Name. Neither Party shall employ or use the name of the other Party in any promotional materials or advertising without the prior express written permission of the other Party.

5.5 Trademark. ICON shall have the right to market the ICON Licensed Products under trademarks selected by ICON. ICON and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall include ARIAD’s name and logo on the packaging for ICON Licensed Products with reasonable prominence in a form approved by ARIAD, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. ARIAD hereby grants to ICON the right to use its name and logo as set forth above (“Trademark License”). The term of the Trademark License shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for the period during which the inventory that existed at the termination or expiration of this Agreement remains unsold, but only with respect to use on such inventory.

6.	PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHTS; OWNERSHIP OF INVENTIONS

6.1 Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance. Subject to the other terms of this Section 6.1, ARIAD shall be responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, obtaining and maintaining, at its sole cost, expense and discretion, and acting through patent attorneys or agents of its choice, all Licensed Patent Rights in such countries as ARIAD determines. ICON shall, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, advise ARIAD in writing of the countries in which ICON intends to market ICON Licensed Products, either directly or through Sublicensees or Distributors, and shall update that list from time to time as ICON changes its intentions. ARIAD (i) will provide ICON with a copy of pending claims of the Licensed Patent Rights that are relevant to the Licensed Field, and (ii) will keep ICON reasonably informed of the issuance or abandonment of such claims.

6.2 Notice of Infringement. If, during the License Term, either Party learns of any actual, alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Licensed Patent Rights in the Licensed Field under this Agreement, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, provide such other Party with available evidence of such infringement.

6.2.1 Enforcement. ARIAD shall have the right (but not the obligation), which it may grant to any Pharmaceutical Partner, at its own expense and with legal counsel of its own choice, to bring suit (or take other appropriate legal action) against any actual, alleged or threatened infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights. If the alleged or threatened infringement is in the Licensed Field, ICON shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of ICON’s own choice; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the foregoing affect the right of ARIAD (or its Pharmaceutical Partner) to control the suit as described in the first sentence of this Section 6.2.1. If ARIAD or its Pharmaceutical Partner brings any such action or proceeding hereunder (i) ICON agrees to be joined as party plaintiff if necessary to prosecute such action or proceeding, and (ii) at ARIAD’s expense, ICON shall give ARIAD or its Pharmaceutical Partner reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit, provided, however, that if ARIAD’s Pharmaceutical Partner in any such instance is one of the other two (2) Exclusive Licensees, then ICON shall not be required to disclose any of its Confidential Information to its competitive disadvantage with respect to such other Exclusive Licensee(s), and (iii) ARIAD or its Pharmaceutical Partner shall be permitted to settle any such suit without the prior consent of ICON. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby expressly agreed that ICON shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) to take any action in respect of any actual, alleged or threatened infringement of ICON Patent Rights.

6.3 Ownership of Inventions.

6.3.1 Background IP. Subject to the rights and licenses expressly granted herein, each Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all inventions, discoveries and other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by a Party, or which such Party otherwise has a right to use, prior to the Effective Date.

ARIAD ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION WITH ICON MEDICAL TO

DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE NOVEL DEFOROLIMUS-ELUTING STENTS

Agreement Further Highlights Therapeutic Value of ARIAD’s Novel mTOR Inhibitor

Cambridge, MA, October 9, 2007 – ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA) today announced that it has entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with ICON Medical Corp., an emerging cardiovascular medical device company, to develop and commercialize drug-eluting stents that deliver ARIAD’s novel mTOR inhibitor, deforolimus, to prevent restenosis of injured vessels following interventions in which stents are used in conjunction with balloon angioplasty. Inhibitors of mTOR block the wound-healing response to arterial injury that leads to restenosis.

As part of the agreement, ARIAD will receive an equity stake in ICON, up to $27 million in payments based on achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones for two products and royalties on worldwide sales of all ICON medical devices delivering deforolimus. ICON will be responsible for the development and commercialization of these medical devices, and ARIAD will supply deforolimus to ICON for use in these devices. Additional terms were not disclosed.

ARIAD has retained the right to enter into one additional non-exclusive license agreement, in addition to the licenses granted to ICON and Medinol, Ltd., to develop and commercialize medical devices delivering deforolimus for use in vascular disease.

“ICON is one of the most innovative and promising medical device companies with broadly applicable technologies,” said ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of ARIAD. “ICON’s design and manufacturing capabilities have led to highly differentiated stent platforms and bioabsorbable polymer formulations that should enable its deforolimus-eluting stents to provide substantial benefit to patients with coronary and peripheral vascular disease. This agreement further enables ARIAD to focus on developing deforolimus in multiple cancer indications with our partner, Merck & Co., while maximizing the drug’s potential non-oncology applications.”

The proprietary metal alloy (Nuloy™) developed by ICON permits the manufacture of stents with extremely thin struts, yet without sacrificing radial strength. The Nuloy coronary stent system can be readily delivered to target vessels and positioned in difficult-to-reach vascular lesions, without compromising radiopacity (density) or durability of the stent. The Nuloy bare-metal stent has successfully completed its first-in-humans clinical trial. This platform will form the basis for ICON’s initial deforolimus-eluting stent for use in coronary arteries.

“We are delighted with the opportunity to work together with the ARIAD team. Having access to a well-characterized and broadly studied drug for use in drug-eluting stents should allow ICON to move ahead expeditiously in the development of our portfolio of innovative cardiovascular products for coronary and peripheral vascular disease,” said ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, M.D., chairman of ICON. President and chief executive officer of ICON, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, added, “The combination of the Nuloy stent platform and deforolimus should provide interventional cardiologists and radiologists with breakthrough treatment options in this growing patient population.”

About Restenosis and Drug-eluting Stents

Restenosis is a reblockage of an artery at the same site where a treatment, such as balloon angioplasty and/or a stenting procedure, has been implemented weeks to months earlier. In patients who have undergone balloon angioplasty and stent placement, restenosis within and around the stent occurs frequently, depending on the stent design and underlying disease. The main reason for such reblockage is the overgrowth of tissue (similar to scar tissue) that may cause narrowing of the vessel and further constriction. Stents that release a drug, such as an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., sirolimus) or a mitotic inhibitor (e.g., paclitaxel), have been shown to reduce the extent of tissue overgrowth, lower the incidence of restenosis and result in improved clinical outcomes for many patients.

About Deforolimus

ARIAD's lead product candidate, deforolimus, is a novel small-molecule inhibitor of the protein mTOR, a "master switch" in cancer cells. Blocking mTOR creates a starvation-like effect in cancer cells by interfering with cell growth, division, metabolism, and angiogenesis. Multiple Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of deforolimus in solid tumors and hematologic cancers have completed patient enrollment. The ongoing global Phase 3 SUCCEED trial of oral deforolimus in metastatic soft-tissue and bone sarcomas is based on a Special Protocol Assessment agreed upon by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. ARIAD has a global partnership with Merck & Co., Inc. to develop and commercialize deforolimus in cancer. Blocking mTOR also impedes the wound-healing response to arterial injury that leads to restenosis. ARIAD is collaborating with Medinol Ltd. and ICON Medical Corp. to develop deforolimus-eluting stents to prevent restenosis of injured vessels following interventions in which stents are used in conjunction with balloon angioplasty.

About ICON Medical

ICON Medical Corp., an emerging cardiovascular medical device company, is engaged in the development of an innovative new stent material, Nuloy™, to be used as a platform for both bare-metal and drug-eluting stents. The Nuloy material has inherent properties which allow for extremely thin struts, almost 50% thinner than the most advanced commercial coronary stent available. Nuloy allows ICON to manufacture stents with increased strength, radiopacity and deliverability, and decreased elastic recoil compared with that in existing stent materials. The ICON Nuloy stent material allows for dramatic improvements in crossing profile and deliverability, without compromise to radiopacity and durability of the stent.

ICON is also developing a bioabsorbable stent platform based on its Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology for use in peripheral vessels. The MEMS technology allows ICON to enhance mechanical functionality and drug delivery by way of multi-layer tailoring construction of the stent and by incorporating microstructures, which deliver drug directly to the site of injury deep within the medial vessel wall. This controlled delivery of drug followed by stent absorption may result in improved outcomes and re-intervention options in superficial femoral arteries.
