WHEREAS Seller, Buyer and ICN wish to further amend the Asset Purchase

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree to further amend Art. 3.2.3 of the
Agreement by adding the following new paras:
"It is restated and confirmed that any capital gains (as defined in
the Asset Purchase Agreement) realised by Seller through the sale of
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock shall belong to ICN,
provided that the parties herewith agree that any sales proceeds above
US$55 per share of Common Stock and common stock resulting from
conversion of Preferred Stock shall belong to Seller, and provided
that the portion belonging to ICN may be retained by Seller as
collateral for payment of the purchase prices under the US Asset
Purchase Agreements.
ICN herewith authorises, instructs and orders Seller, and Seller
herewith undertakes, to pay, out of such realised capital gains to
which ICN is entitled pursuant to the Agreements (as amended including
by the preceding paragraph of the present Second Amendment Agreement)
retained by Seller pursuant to the Amendment Agreement (which are not
used or retained as collateral by Seller for other purposes pursuant
to the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Amendment Agreement), on behalf
of ICN, the purchase prices due by ICN to Affiliates of Seller under
the US Asset Purchase Agreements at the closing of these US Asset
Purchase Agreements. The parties hereto agree that the closing under
the US Asset Purchase Agreements shall only take place, if and when
Seller, Seller's Affiliates and ICN have agreed in writing on a mode
of payment for the purchase prices under the US Asset Purchase
Agreements in full, provided that ICN is at any time entitled to make
up the shortfall by direct payment to the sellers under the US Asset
Purchase Agreements."

Amendment Agreement, shall remain in effect unchanged, including
without limitation the clauses pertaining to the rights and
obligations of Seller and ICN in connection with Public Debt Offering
(as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), provided that the
portion of such Public Debt Offering referenced in paragraph 3.2.11 of
the Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended) may also be considered in
defining the mode of payment for the purchase prices under the US
Asset Purchase Agreements.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been signed by duly authorized
representatives of each of the parties hereto as of the date first
