however, that in no event may this option be exercised after the
Expiration Date. Disability shall be defined as in Section 22(e)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For the purposes of this
provision only, reference to the Participant in this Agreement shall be
construed as including the executors or personal representatives of a
deceased Participant. In the event that this option is not exercised
within the period of six (6) months set out above, this option shall
expire.
5.1 SUBDIVISION, CONSOLIDATION OR REORGANIZATION
(a) In the event of any subdivision, redivision or change of the Shares
of the Company into a greater number of Shares at any time after the
date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date of this option,
the Company shall deliver at the time of exercise of this option, but
for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, such additional
number of Shares as the Participant would have been entitled to receive
as a result of such subdivision, redivision or change if on the record
date thereof the Participant had been the registered holder of the
number of such Shares with respect to which the option is later
exercised.
(b) In the event of any consolidation or change of the Shares of the
Company into a lesser number of Shares at any time after the date of
this Agreement and prior to the expiration of this option, the Company
shall deliver at the time of exercise of this option, but for the same
aggregate consideration payable therefor, such reduced number of
Shares, as the Participant would have been entitled to receive upon
such consolidation or change if on

the record date thereof the Participant had been the registered holder
of the number of such Shares with respect to which the option is later
exercised.
(c) If at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to
the expiration of this option, the Shares shall be reclassified or
reorganized, otherwise than as specified in Sections 5.1(a) and (b),
the Participant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this
option and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares then subscribed
for, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the
same aggregate number of shares of the appropriate class of shares that
the Participant would have been entitled to receive as a result of such
reclassification or other reorganization of Shares if on the record
date thereof the Participant had been the registered holder of the
number of such Shares with respect to which the option is later
exercised.
6.1 TAKE-OVER BID
If an offeror makes an offer to purchase 50% or more of the outstanding
Shares to substantially all holders of the Shares or, if an insider of
the Company makes an offer to purchase Shares to substantially all
holders of the Shares, and the Board of Directors recommends acceptance
of such offer to the shareholders of the Company and the offer price is
greater than the Exercise Price, then this option, whether or not it
has vested in whole or in part, shall become immediately exercisable.
The Participant shall be bound to exercise this option and to tender
the Optioned Shares issued upon exercise of this option into the offer
upon receipt of notice from the Company if the Company provides an
interest-free loan to the Participant in the amount of the Exercise
Price for all of the Optioned Shares issuable upon exercise of this
option, subject to the execution of a security agreement by the
Participant in favor of the Company securing repayment of the loan.
7.1 NO ASSIGNMENT
The Participant may not assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate any of
his rights hereunder in any way (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) except by will or by the laws of succession on intestacy
which may apply to the estate of the Participant upon his death. The
option granted herein shall not be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Upon any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this option contrary to the
provisions hereof, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar
process upon the option granted herein, such option shall immediately
become void.
8.1 GENERAL
(a) Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
(b) In this Agreement, words importing the singular number include
the plural and vice versa and words importing the masculine gender
include the feminine and neuter genders.

3.5 From time to time, in its discretion, the Company's Stock

may from time to time adopt, the Grantee or beneficiary shall,
in order to exercise this Option give to the Company at its

2
10
official bank cashier's check or money order in an amount

as then in effect, and (iii) to comply with or satisfy the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, or any other law,
as then in effect.
4.3 The Grantee agrees that all shares purchased by him under the
Option will be acquired for investment, not distribution, and
that any notice of exercise of the Option must be accompanied
by a written representation to that effect, signed by the
Grantee.

5.2 Subject to Section 3.6, hereof if the Amended and Restated
License Agreement is terminated by PARTEQ, the Option may be
exercised, to the extent exercisable, for a period of three
months after the date of such termination or such later date
as the Company's Board of Directors may approve; and if such
Agreement is terminated by DUSA, the Option shall continue to
vest in the Grantee as provided in Section 3.1 above.
5.3 Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any
matter referred to in this Section 5 shall be final and
conclusive on all persons affected thereby.
SECTION 6
ADJUSTMENTS TO OPTION
6.1 Subject to any required action by the Committee and
shareholders, the number of shares provided for in the Option,
and the price per share thereof shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of the Company resulting from the payment of a share
dividend, a share split or any transaction which is a
"corporate transaction" (as defined in the Treasury
regulations promulgated under Section 424 of the Code.
6.2 Subject to any required action by the Committee and
shareholders, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in
any merger or consolidation, or after a consolidation
3
11
of the Company and one or more entities in which the resulting
entity is an independent entity, the Option shall pertain to
and apply to the securities of the surviving entity in an
amount that the board of directors of the surviving entity, at
its sole discretion, determines to be equivalent, as nearly as
practicable, to the nearest whole number and class of shares
that were subject to the Option. These shares of stock or
other securities shall, after such merger or consolidation, be
deemed to be shares for all purposes hereof. The aforesaid
adjustments, when applicable, shall be made by the Committee,
and the Committee's determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive.
6.3 In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), any
and all outstanding Options not fully vested shall
automatically vest in full and shall be immediately
exercisable. The date on which such accelerated vesting and
immediate exercisability shall occur shall be the date of the
occurrence of the Change of Control.
A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have taken place upon
(i) the acquisition by a third person, including a "group" as
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, of shares of the Company having 50% or more
of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
of Directors of the Company; (ii) shareholder approval of a
transaction for the acquisition of the Company, or
substantially all of its assets by another entity or for a
merger, reorganization, consolidation or other business
combination to which the Company is a part; or (iii) the
election during any period of 24 months or less of 50% or more
of the Directors of the Company where such Directors were not
in office immediately prior to such period provided, however,
that no "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have taken
place if the Directors of the Company in office on the date of
adoption of the Plan, or their successors in office nominated
by such Directors, affirmatively approve a resolution to such
effect.
Except as provided with respect to a Grantee in his stock
option agreement or other controlling agreement between him
and the Company, to the extent that the acceleration,
exercisability or parachute payment attributable to the Option
following a Change of Control would result in "excess
parachute payments"(1) when the former are aggregated with
other payments or benefits to the Grantee, such parachute
payments or benefits provided to a Grantee under this
Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no
portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code. This reduction will only be made if
it will cause the Grantee's net after-tax benefit to exceed
the net after-tax benefit that would have existed if such
reduction were not made. "Net after-tax benefit" shall be the
sum of (i) all payments and benefits which a Grantee receives
or is entitled to receive that would constitute a "parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount
of federal income taxes payable with respect to the payments
and
----------------------
(1)"Excess parachute payments" are defined in Section 280G of the Code and
are determined by tax counsel of the Company.
4
12
benefits described in (i) above, calculated at the maximum
marginal income tax rate(2) for the year in which such
payments and benefits shall be paid to the Grantee, less (iii)
the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the
payments and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999
of the Code.
6.4 In the event of a change in the Company's shares which is
limited to a change of all of its authorized shares with par
value into the same number of shares with a different par
value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such
change shall be deemed to be shares within the meaning of this
Agreement.
6.5 Except as herein before expressly provided in Paragraphs 6.1,
6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of this Section 6, the Grantee shall have no
rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of any class or payment of any share dividend or any other
increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or
by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, merger,
consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another
corporation and any issuance by the Company of shares of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of any class,
shall not affect the Option, and no adjustment by reason
thereof shall be made with respect to the number or price of
the Company's shares subject to the Option. The grant of the
Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 7
TRANSFER
7.1 This Option shall not be transferable by the Grantee in any
way. During the lifetime of the Grantee, the Option shall be
exercisable only by him. Any other attempted assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the
Option shall be void and have no effect unless in accordance
with the terms set forth herein.
SECTION 8
WITHHOLDING TAXES
8.1 The Company shall have the right to retain and withhold from
any payment, under the Option granted, any amount that is to
be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to
such payment. At its discretion, the Company may require the
Grantee, if it receives shares under a nonqualified stock
option grant, to reimburse the Company for any taxes that are
required to be withheld by the Company, and may withhold any
distribution in whole or in part until the Company is so
reimbursed. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right
to withhold from any other cash amounts due (or to become due)
to the Grantee an amount equal to such taxes required to be
withheld by the Company to reimburse the Company for any such
------------------
(2)This rate is based on the rate for the year set forth in the Code at the
time of the first payment to the participant.
5
13
taxes, or the Company may retain and withhold a number of
shares of Common Stock having a market value not less than the
amount of such taxes and cancel (in whole or in part) any
shares of Common Stock so withheld in order to reimburse the
Company for any such taxes.
SECTION 9
IMPACT ON OTHER BENEFITS
9.1 The value of the Option (either on the date of grant of the
Option or at the time the shares are vested) shall not be
includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any
other benefit plan offered by the Company.
SECTION 10
ADMINISTRATION
10.1 The Committee shall have full authority and discretion to
decide all matters relating to the administration and
interpretation of this Agreement. All such Committee
determinations shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the
Company, the Grantee and any and all interested parties.
SECTION 11
AMENDMENT(S)
11.1 This Agreement may not in any way be amended without the
Grantee's written consent.
SECTION 12
FORCE AND EFFECT
12.1 The various provisions of this Agreement are severable in
their entirety. Any determination of invalidity or
unenforceability of any one provision shall have no effect on
the continuing force and effect of the remaining provisions.
SECTION 13
NOTICE OF DISPOSITION OF SHARES

Common Stock acquired on the exercise of the Option, including
a disposition by sale, exchange, gift or transfer of legal
