COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

  For service on the Board, directors who are not employees of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries receive an annual retainer of $10,000, a fee of $1,000
for each meeting of the Board attended, and a fee of $1,000 for each committee
meeting attended.  Directors who are not eligible to receive options under any
other plan of the Company also are granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of
Common Stock per year, or 18,000 shares of Common Stock per year if the director
waives the annual retainer, pursuant to the 1989 Directors' Stock Option Plan.
Directors who are employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries receive no
additional remuneration for serving as directors or as members of committees of
the Board. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with their attendance at Board and committee meetings.

  In fiscal 1994, H. Spencer Matthews received an additional $5,497 in
compensation from the Company for providing his expertise in connection with
ongoing potential sales of pharmaceutical products to the Russian Republic.  Dr.
Melvin H. Van Woert received an additional $13,550 in compensation from the
Company for providing his expertise in connection with a drug to be developed by

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS

  The Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Sawyer, Ms.
Sloane, Mr. Edinger, Mr. Fisher and Dr. Rose.  Each of the employment agreements
with Mr. Sawyer, Ms. Sloane and Mr. Edinger provides for the officer's
employment in his or her current position through the dates set forth below,
subject to earlier termination by the Company for Cause (as such term is defined
in the respective agreements).  Mr. Sawyer's term of employment expires on
October 4, 1995, but will be automatically extended each year for an additional
one-year period unless either party provides written notice by July 4 of such
year that he or it desires to terminate the agreement. Ms. Sloane's term of
employment expires on March 31, 1995.  Mr. Edinger's and Mr. Fisher's terms of
employment expire on October 13, 1995.  Dr. Rose's term of employment expires on
January 16, 1996.   Each such employment agreement provides that the officer
will receive specified salary, bonuses, stock options, stock awards and other
employee benefits, as the case may be.  Under the agreement with Mr. Sawyer, the
Company is required to use its best efforts to cause him to be elected and re-
elected to the Board during his term of employment. Mr. Sawyer, pursuant to the
terms of his employment agreement, is and will be required to serve, if so
elected, on the Board of Directors of the Company and any subsidiary, as well as
any committees thereof.

  Each of the foregoing employment agreements provides for certain payments upon
termination of the officer's employment as a result of a material breach by the
Company of his or her employment agreement following a Change of Control of the
Company. A material breach by the Company of the employment agreements includes,
but is not limited to, termination without Cause and a change of the officer's
responsibilities. In the case of Mr. Sawyer, he is entitled to receive, if such
a termination occurs within two years following a Change of Control of the
Company, a lump sum payment equal to the lesser of three times the sum of his
annual base salary and most recent bonus or the maximum amount permitted without
the imposition of an excise tax on Mr. Sawyer or the loss of a deduction to the
Company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), plus
reimbursement of certain legal and relocation expenses incurred by Mr. Sawyer as
a result of the termination of his employment and maintenance of insurance,
medical and other benefits for 24 months or until Mr. Sawyer is covered by
another employer for such benefits. In the case of Ms. Sloane, she is entitled
to receive a lump sum payment equal to twice her prior year's aggregate annual
compensation and the cost of continuing certain benefits for up to 24 months if
such a termination occurs following a Change of Control.  In the case of Messrs.
Edinger and Fisher and Dr. Rose, each is entitled to receive severance
compensation amounting to 12 months continuation of his base salary payable in
12 monthly installments plus maintenance of medical and other benefits for 12
months or until such employee is covered by another employer for such benefits
if earlier.

  In addition, Mr. Sawyer's employment agreement provides for the Company to
purchase a residence within the vicinity of the Company's principal offices for
Mr. Sawyer to occupy for the duration of his term of employment.  In this
connection, the Company purchased a condominium for the price of $415,000, which
Mr. Sawyer leased from the Company from September 15, 1994, until April 22,
1994, when the Company sold the residence for $415,000 with the express approval
of Mr. Sawyer. (See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.")


PENSION PLAN

  The Company maintains a defined benefit plan (the "Pension Plan") intended to
qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. Effective October 1, 1989, the Company
ceased benefit accruals under the Pension Plan with respect to service after
such date.  The Company intends that distributions will be made, in accordance
with the terms of the Plan, to participants as of such date and/or their
beneficiaries.  The Company will continue to make contributions to the Pension
Plan to fund its past service obligations.  Generally, all employees of the
Company or a participating subsidiary who completed at least one year of
continuous service and attained 21 years of age were eligible to participate in
the Pension Plan. For benefit and vesting purposes, the Pension Plan's "Normal
Retirement Date" is the date on which a participant attains age 65 or, if later,
the date of completion of 10 years of service.  Service is measured from date of
employment.  The retirement income formula is 45% of the highest consecutive
five-year average basic earnings during the last 10 years of employment, less
83/1//3% of the participant's Social Security benefit, reduced proportionately
for years of service less than 10 at retirement.  The normal form

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
of benefit is a life annuity, or for married persons, a joint and survivor
annuity.  None of the Named Executives had any years of credited service under
the Pension Plan.


COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE REPORT

  The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee"), consisting entirely of non-employee directors, approves all of the
policies and programs pursuant to which compensation is paid or awarded to the
Company's executive officers and key employees. The Committee held eight
meetings in fiscal 1994.  In reviewing overall compensation for fiscal 1994, the
Committee focused on the Company's objectives to attract and retain executives
of the highest caliber, to encourage the highest level of performance from such
executives and to align the financial interests of the Company's management with
that of its shareholders by offering awards that can result in the ownership of
Common Stock. The Company did not utilize specific formulae or guidelines in
reviewing and approving executive compensation.

  ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM.   The key elements of the
Company's executive compensation program consist of base salary, annual bonus,
stock options through participation in the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan and
stock options and other incentive awards through participation in the Company's
1990 Stock Incentive Plan. In awarding or approving compensation to executives
in fiscal 1994, the Committee reviewed the performance and profitability of the
Company, the present and potential contribution of the executive to the Company
and the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified executives in
light of the Company's prior regulatory review of its operations, lawsuits
asserted against it and its financial condition.

  Base Salary.   Base salaries for executives were determined primarily by
reference to individual performance, the principal job duties and
responsibilities undertaken by such persons, industry norms and other relevant
criteria.  In order to attract and retain certain key executives, the Company
has offered these executives long-term employment contracts which provide for
specified base salaries.

  Annual Bonus.   The Committee determined the annual bonus to be paid to its
executives for fiscal 1994 performance.  The amount of each individual bonus was
determined based upon an assessment of the general financial performance of the
Company during the fiscal year and the individual's contribution to such
performance, as opposed to determination by reference to a formal, goal-based
plan. The Committee adopted this approach owing, in part, to uncertainties
caused by previous regulatory review of its operations and various lawsuits
asserted against the Company arising out of the acts of its prior management.
Given the lack of predictability of such regulatory review and the litigation
and the effects thereof, the Committee believed it was more effective to assess
performance achievements on a historical basis rather than setting benchmarks,
the achievement of which was largely out of the control of the Company and may
not have reflected the executives' efforts.

  Stock Options and Other Awards.   The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan
provides for stock option awards and the Company's 1990 Stock Incentive Plan
provides for stock option and other equity-based awards. Under all such Plans,
the size of each award and the persons to whom such awards are granted is
determined by the Committee based upon the nature of services rendered by the
executive, the present and potential contribution of the grantee to the Company
and the overall performance of the Company. The Committee believes that grants
of stock options will enable the Company to attract and retain the best
available talent and encourage the highest level of performance in order to
continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Stock
options and other equity-based awards provide executives with the opportunity to
acquire equity interests in the Company and to participate in the creation of
shareholder value and to benefit correspondingly with increases in the price of
the Company's Common Stock.

  COMMITTEE'S ACTIONS FOR 1994.  In determining the amount and form of executive
compensation to be paid or awarded for fiscal 1994, the Committee considered
both the Company's overall financial performance during the fiscal year and its
future objectives and challenges.  The Committee approved awards of annual
bonuses for certain executives, reflecting both the Company's financial
performance for fiscal 1994 and the individual's contribution to such
performance.  The Committee also awarded stock options (including options to one
Named Executive),

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
extended the period in which such options are exercisable and accelerated the
vesting dates of previously awarded options, for certain key employees.

  In reviewing and awarding compensation to executive officers for fiscal 1994,
the Committee considered the performance and other criteria discussed earlier in
this report. In addition, the Committee took into account the following specific
factors:

  (i) the removal of the Company from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's
Application Integrity Assessment Program;

  (ii) the settlement of several significant litigations against the Company;
and

  (iii)  the efforts of executive officers in negotiating and implementing the
distribution agreements with Genpharm, Inc. and The Generics Group B.V.

The Committee will continue to consider these and other factors in reviewing and
awarding compensation to the Company's executive officers in the future.

  CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION.   The Committee approved an employment
agreement in October 1992 for Mr. Sawyer with the Company. In approving such
employment agreement, the Committee authorized a base salary of $358,238 for Mr.
Sawyer in fiscal year 1994.  In addition to his base salary, Mr. Sawyer was
awarded by the Committee a bonus of $100,000 for fiscal year 1994 performance
and a cost of living allowance of $50,000.

  In reviewing and setting Mr. Sawyer's compensation, the Committee recognized
his substantial role in (i) settling three significant lawsuits against the
Company, (ii) negotiating and implementing several joint venture agreements for
the Company, (iii) improving the manufacturing capacities of the Company, (iv)
working to explore strategic alternatives for the Company and (v) diversifying
the Company's customer base.

  Recently enacted Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limits deductions for
federal income tax purposes for certain executive compensation in excess of $1
million.  Certain types of compensation are deductible only if performance
criteria are specified in detail and payments are contingent upon stockholder
approval of the compensation arrangement.  The level of salaries and bonus to
the Named Executives paid by the Company do not exceed this limit.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

  The Compensation Committee conducted deliberations concerning executive
compensation during the last completed fiscal year. None of the Committee
members are executive officers of the Company. None of the executive officers of
the Company has served on the board of directors or on the compensation
committee of any other entity, any of whose officers served on the Board of the
Company.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
- -------   -------------------------------------------------------------- 

OWNERSHIP OF VOTING SECURITIES

  The following table sets forth, as of the close of business on January 18,
1995, the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by (i) each person known
(based solely on a review of Schedules 13D or 13G filed) to the Company to be
the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock, (ii) each director and
nominee for election as a director of the Company, (iii) the Named Executives,
and (iv) all directors and current executive officers of the Company and Par, as
a group (based upon information furnished by such persons). Under the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person is deemed to be a beneficial
owner of a security if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the
voting of such security or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition
of such security. In general, a person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner
of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial
ownership within 60 days. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be
a beneficial owner of the same securities.  As of January 18, 1995, an aggregate
of 14,633,773 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

VOTING ARRANGEMENTS

  On May 29, 1990, Mr. Sawyer was granted proxies by three former shareholders
of Quad (the "Additional Proxies") to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by
him (which amounted to 355 shares at January 30, 1995) on all matters that might
come before a meeting of the Company's shareholders, including the election of
directors. The Additional Proxies terminate upon the earlier of May 29, 2000, or
the date on which the shareholder granting the proxy no longer owns any shares
of voting stock of the Company.  The foregoing proxies were granted to help
assure certain governmental agencies that were involved in the investigation and
review of the generic drug industry that the Company's shareholders are
supportive of the new management established by the Company since September
1989.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
- -------   ---------------------------------------------- 

  In July 1993, the Company purchased a condominium for $415,000 (subject to
certain closing adjustments). Beginning on September 15, 1993, the Company
leased the condominium to Kenneth I. Sawyer, the President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company, for a period equal to the term
of his employment agreement at $2,600 per month, which represented the fair
market value as determined by a disinterested third party.  The Company sold the
condominium on April 22, 1994, for $415,000 with the express consent of Mr.
Sawyer and, as a result, the lease terminated.  (See "Employment Agreements and
Termination Arrangements.")

accordance with the terms of any provision of this Agreement, or the aggregate 
of all amounts due hereunder which are contracted for, charged or collected

law then applicable to the Term Loan, then for such period as the rate or 
amount contracted for, charged or collected would exceed the maximum permitted 
by such law (and no longer) the rate payable on the Term Loan or so contracted 
for, charged or collected shall be reduced to the maximum permitted by such 
law.  In the event the Lender ever collects, or applies, as interest, any 
amount in excess of the maximum permitted by law, such excess amount shall be 
deemed a prepayment of such portion of the amounts due hereunder as are deemed 
to constitute principal of a loan, and if all amounts so deemed to constitute 
principal have been or are thereby paid in full, any remaining excess shall be 
paid to the Borrower to the extent permitted by law.

judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government.  Without 
limiting the scope of the foregoing, (a) the Borrower and each of the Affiliate 
Companies and each of their properties, machinery, facilities and other 
business assets is in compliance in all material respects with all federal and 
state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, all regulations, 
rules, orders and requirements of the United States Food and Drug 
Administration) the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a 
material adverse effect upon the Borrower or (on a consolidated basis) upon 
                                          --

assets to forfeiture or seizure.

      Section 4.07.  Title to Collateral.
      ------------   -------------------

      Except as specified on Schedule 4.07 hereto, the Borrower has good 
                             -------------
title to all of the Collateral free and clear of all mortgages, security 
interests, restrictions, liens and encumbrances of any kind, including, without 
limitation, liens or encumbrances in respect of unpaid taxes, except liens and 
encumbrances in favor of Lender or expressly permitted under this Agreement.  
The Borrower enjoys quiet possession under all Leases material to its business 
to which it is lessee, and all of such Leases are valid, subsisting and in full 
force and effect.

      Section 4.08.  Other Names or Entities.
      ------------   -----------------------

      Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.08 to this Agreement, none of 
                             -------------
Borrower's business is conducted through any corporate subsidiary, 
unincorporated association or other entity and Borrower has not, within the 
seven years preceding the date of this Agreement (a) changed its name, (b) used 
any name other than the name stated at the beginning of this Agreement, or (c) 
merged or consolidated with, or acquired the assets of, any other corporation 
or business.

      Section 4.09.  No Insolvency.
      ------------   -------------

      Neither the borrowings made by the Borrower under this Agreement nor the 
execution, delivery and performance of the Note and the Security Documents 
render or will render the Borrower insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they 
become due; the Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition 
by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the 
liquidation of all or a substantial portion of its property, and the Borrower 
has no knowledge of any person contemplating the filing of any such petition 
against the Borrower.

      Section 4.10.  Full Disclosure.
      ------------   ---------------

      No statement of fact made by or on behalf of any Person (other than the 
Lender) in this Agreement, the Security Documents, or any certificate or 
schedule furnished to the Lender pursuant hereto or thereto contains any untrue 
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to 
make statements contained therein or herein not misleading.  There is no fact 
presently known to the Borrower which has not been disclosed to the Lender in 
writing which materially affects adversely, or, which could likely materially 
affect adversely the business, operations, properties, assets or condition, 
financial or otherwise, of the Borrower.

      Section 4.11.  Tax Returns; Tax Examination.
      ------------   ----------------------------

      (a)   Except as set forth in Schedule 4.11 hereto, the Borrower has 
                                   -------------
filed (or caused to be filed) all federal, state and local tax returns required 
to be filed, and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all 
material federal, state and local taxes, franchise fees, charges and 
assessments.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
      (b)   The federal income tax returns of the Borrower have been examined 
by the Internal Revenue Service (or closed by applicable statute) for all tax 
periods prior to and including the tax year ending September, 1990.  All 
deficiencies that have been asserted against the Borrower as a result of such 
examination have been fully paid or finally settled or are being contested in 
good faith, and no issue has been raised in any such examination that, by 
application of similar principles reasonably can be expected to result in the 
assertion of a material deficiency for any other year not so examined, except 
to the extent that such deficiency has been reserved for in the financial 
statements described in Section 4.01.  The Borrower has not taken any 
                        ------------
reporting positions for which it does not have a reasonable basis and does not 
anticipate any further material tax liability with respect to the tax years 
that have not been closed.  For purposes of this Section 4.11 the term 
                                                 ------------
"Borrower" shall include each other Person with which the Borrower files 
consolidated or combined income tax returns or reports.

      Section 4.12.  Pension Plans, Etc.
      ------------   -------------------

      (a)   Plans.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.12 hereto, 
            -----                          -------------
neither the Borrower nor any entity with which Borrower would be aggregated (a 
"Commonly Controlled Entity") under Section 414(b), (c), (m), or (o) of the 
Code, maintains or contributes to any pension, profit sharing or other similar 
plan providing for a program of deferred compensation to any employee or former 
employee.

      (b)   Funding of Employee Benefit Plans.  Except as set forth in 
            ---------------------------------
Schedule 4.12 hereto, all contributions and other payment required to be 
- -------------
made by the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity to all employee benefit 
plans, as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which either the Borrower or any Commonly 
Controlled Entity maintains or to which any of them contributes (the "Employee 
Benefit Plans") have been made or reserves adequate for such purposes have been 
set aside and reflected on the Borrower's financial statements.  With respect 
to any such Employee Benefit Plan which is an employee pension benefit plan, as 
defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA (an "Employee Pension Plan"), there is no 
accumulated funding deficiency, as defined in Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA and 
Section 412(a) of the Code, and no waiver of the minimum funding standard has 
been applied for or obtained from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 
412(d) of the Code.  No lien has arisen under Section 412(n) of the Code with 
respect to the assets of the Borrower.  The Borrower has no reason to believe 
that the level of contributions required to be made to each multiemployer plan, 
as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA to which the Borrower or any Commonly 
Controlled Entity contributed or contributes (a "Multiemployer Plan") is not 
sufficient to maintain the level of benefits under such plan now in effect or 
scheduled to become effective in the future.

      (c)   Fiduciary Duties, Prohibited Transactions and Administration.  
            ------------------------------------------------------------
Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has breached any 
fiduciary duty imposed on it under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA with respect to 
any Employee Benefit Plan and has not engaged in any nonexempt prohibited 
transaction, as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.  
Each Employee Benefit Plan has been and is administered in all material 
respects in accordance with its terms and applicable laws, rules and 
regulations.

      (d)   Status of Funded Pension Plans.  Except as set forth in 
            ------------------------------
Schedule 4.12 hereto, each funded Employee Pension Plan has been determined 
- -------------
by the Internal Revenue Service to be qualified under Section 401(a) or Section 
403(a) of the Code and nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such 
qualification or the imposition of any material tax liability or penalty under 
the Code or ERISA on the Borrower.  With respect to each Employee Pension Plan 
which is subject to Title IV of ERISA, other than Multiemployer Plans, (1) 
neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has failed to make 
required contributions or incurred any liability to the Pension Benefit 
Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), (2) no reportable event, as defined in Section 
4043(b) of ERISA, has occurred, (3) except as set forth in Schedule 4.12 the 
actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities, as defined in Section 
4001(a)(16) of ERISA ("Benefit Liabilities"), does not exceed the fair market 
value of the assets available to provide the Benefit Liabilities.  Neither the 
Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity knows of any facts or circumstances 
which likely

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
will, if known by the PBGC, give rise to any liability to the PBGC under Title 
IV of ERISA (other than for premium payments).  With respect to Multiemployer 
Plans, neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has withdrawn or 
partially withdrawn, as described in Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA from any 
Multiemployer Plan, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances which 
could likely result in any withdrawal from or the partition, termination, 
reorganization or insolvency of any Multiemployer Plan which could result in 
any  material liability to the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity.

      (e)   Status of Employee Welfare Plans.  No Employee Benefit Plan 
            --------------------------------
which is an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA 
(an "Employee Welfare Plan"), provides for continuing benefits or coverage for 
any participant (or beneficiary) after the termination of the participant's 
employment except as may be required by Section 601 of ERISA and Section 4980B 
of the Code ("COBRA") and regulations thereunder or by applicable state 
statutory law.  With respect to any Employee Welfare Plan, Borrower and each 
Commonly Controlled Entity have complied with the notice and continuation 
coverage requirements of COBRA and regulations thereunder such that there would 
not result in any loss of any material deduction under Section 162 of the Code 
or any material tax, penalty or liability to the Borrower.

      (f)   Claims.  There are no claims (other than claims for benefits in 
            ------
the normal course), actions or lawsuits asserted or instituted with respect to, 
and neither Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has knowledge of any 
threatened claims or litigation with respect to, any Employee Benefit Plan or 
any fiduciary thereof, except as set forth in Schedule 4.12.
                                              -------------

granted all material governmental approvals, authorizations, licenses and

Food and Drug Administration (such approvals, authorizations, licenses and 
permits, together with any extensions, modifications or renewals thereof and 
any additional approvals, authorizations, licenses or permits hereafter issued 
or granted to the Borrower and to each Affiliate Company, being herein 
sometimes referred to collectively as the "Licenses").  All existing Licenses 
are in full force and effect, are duly issued or granted in the name of, or 
validly assigned to, the Borrower or such Affiliate Company, and the Borrower

      Section 4.14.  O.S.H.A.
      ------------   --------

            Borrower and each Affiliate Company have duly complied with, and 
its facilities, business, leaseholds, equipment and other property are in 
compliance, in all material respects, with the provisions of the federal 
Occupational Safety and Health Act and all rules and regulations thereunder and 
all similar state and local laws, rules and regulations; and there are no 
outstanding citations, notices or orders of non-compliance issued to Borrower 
or relating to its facilities, business, leaseholds, equipment or other 
property under any such law, rule or regulation.

      Section 4.15.  Ownership of Borrower.
      ------------   ---------------------

      PRI owns beneficially and of record all of the issued and outstanding 
capital stock of the Borrower and such shares are held free of any assignment, 
pledge, lien, security interest, charge, option or other encumbrance, except 
for liens and security interests granted to Lender, and there are no warrants, 
options or other rights to acquire shares of the Borrower's capital stock of 
any class.

      The Borrower owns or possesses all the patents, trademarks, service 
marks, trade names, copyrights and licenses, and all rights with respect to the 
foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted, without 
any known conflict with the rights of others.

      Section 4.17.  Brokers, Etc.
      ------------   -------------

      The Borrower has not dealt with any broker, finder, commission agent or 
other similar person in connection with the Term Loan or the transactions 
contemplated by this Agreement, and the Borrower is not under any obligation to 
pay any broker's fee, finder's fee or other similar compensation or commission 
in connection with such transactions and the Borrower covenants and agrees to 
indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from and against, any and all broker's 
fees, finder's fees or other similar compensation or commission in connection 
with such transactions.

casualty; provide and maintain (or cause to be provided and maintained), at its 
expense, comprehensive general property, products liability, workers' 
compensation and business interruption insurance protecting against such 
liabilities, losses and damages and in such amounts and with such deductibles

sound and reputable insurers, and, upon request of the Lender, furnish to the 
Lender satisfactory evidence of the same; notify the Lender of any material 
change in the insurance maintained on the Borrower's properties after the date 
hereof and furnish the Lender satisfactory evidence of any such change;

Lender and add the premium(s) paid therefor to the principal amount of the 
indebtedness incurred pursuant hereto, and the amount of such premium shall be 
payable by the Borrower on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate 
payable hereunder.

manifest error.  Lender shall not be required to accept any payment of 
principal of the Term Loan which bears interest at the Treasury Rate in advance 
of its due date unless the Borrower shall, at such time, also pay all

IX.  REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.
     -------------------------

      Section 9.01.  Remedies.
      ------------   --------
      
      In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, 
the Lender shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies 
provided by law or by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to 
proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity 
or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any 
agreement contained in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the Note or 
for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or 
in and of the exercise of any power granted hereunder or thereby or by law.  No 
right conferred upon the Lender hereby or by any Transaction Document or the 
Note shall be exclusive, but shall be cumulative and in addition to any other 
right or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at 
law, in equity, by statute or otherwise; and the Lender may exercise its 
remedies concurrently, independently or successively.

      Section 9.02.  Default Rate.
      ------------   ------------

      Without regard to whether the Lender has exercised any other rights or 
remedies hereunder, the applicable interest rate under the Note shall at the 
Lender's option, but only to the extent permitted by law, be increased to a 
rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the interest rate specified under 
Section 2.03 hereof, plus two percent (2%) per annum upon the occurrence of an 
Event of Default.

      Section 9.03.  Cross Default.
      ------------   -------------

      BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS BETWEEN BORROWER AND 
LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF LENDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE 
OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO 
(I) THE AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, DATED THE DATE HEREOF) 
AND (II) THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT CONCERNING TERM LOANS, DATED THE 
DATE HEREOF) AS ANY OR ALL OF THE SAME MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, BE AMENDED, 
MODIFIED, RESTATED OR OTHERWISE REVISED, ARE HEREBY AMENDED SO THAT A DEFAULT 
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS A DEFAULT UNDER ALL SUCH OTHER AGREEMENTS AND A DEFAULT 
UNDER ANY ONE OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS IS A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

      Section 9.04.  Application of Proceeds.
      ------------   -----------------------

      The Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of 
Default, the Lender shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of any payment made 
to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, including, without limitation, 
the proceeds arising from any of the collateral securing any of the obligations 
of Borrower to the Lender, in a manner and against the obligation or 
obligations as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender; 
provided, however, if the Lender takes affirmative action to enforce any of its 
remedies in order to realize against any of the Collateral, any proceeds 
received by the Lender from any or all such actions shall be applied first 
against secured obligations and then against any unsecured obligations.

      This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and 
warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto, shall 
survive the making by the Lender of the Term Loan and shall continue in full 
force and effect so long as the Note or any other Indebtedness to the Lender, 
whether now existing or hereafter arising, under this Agreement or the Security 
Documents, is outstanding and unpaid or the Lender has any obligation to make 
credit extensions hereunder.

      Section 10.02.  Expenses.
      -------------   --------

      The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender upon demand for all 
out-of-pocket costs, charges, liabilities, documentary stamp taxes, intangible 
taxes, any other taxes due under any applicable state law (exclusive of taxes 
measured or imposed in terms of the Lender's net income) and any other expenses 
of the Lender (including, without limitation, (i) reasonable fees and 
disbursements of (A) counsel to the Lender and (B) agents of the Lender not 
regularly in its employ and (ii) the allocated costs of services of Lender's 
in-house counsel (except such that are clearly mere duplications of costs under 
(i)(a)) in connection with (a) the preparation, negotiation, interpretation, 
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note, any Security Documents and 
any other agreements or documents relating thereto, (b) the making of the Term 
Loan, (c) any amendments, modifications, consents or waivers in respect 
thereof, (d) any enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (e) any

the bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution

      Section 10.03.  Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.
      -------------   ----------------------------------------

      (a)   The Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the 
Lender and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively 
called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, 
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, 
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, 
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for and 
consultants of such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, 
administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be 
designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted 
against such Indemnitees (whether direct, indirect, or consequential and 
whether based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations, 
including, without limitation, securities, environmental and commercial laws 
and regulations, under common law or at equitable cause or on contract or 
otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement, the 
Note or any of the Security Documents, or any act, event or transaction related 
or attendant thereto, the agreements of the Lender contained herein, the making 
of the Term Loan, the management of the Term Loan or the Collateral (including 
any liability under federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations) 
or the use or intended use of the proceeds of such Term Loans hereunder 
(collectively, the "Indemnified Matters"); provided that the Borrower shall 
have no obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified 
Matters caused by or resulting directly from the willful misconduct or gross 
negligence of such Indemnitee.  To the extent that the undertaking to 
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be 
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower 
shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy 
under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified 
Matters incurred by the Indemnities.

      (b)   To the extent permitted by applicable law, no claim may be made by 
the Borrower or any other Person against the Lender or any of its affiliates, 
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants for any 
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim 
for breach of

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
 
contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the 
transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the 
Security Documents or any act, omission or event occurring in connection 
therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon 
any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known 
or suspected to exist in its favor.  Neither the Lender nor any of its 
affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any 
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with 
any of the above referenced documents except for its or their own gross 
negligence or willful misconduct.

      Section 10.04.  Setoffs, Etc.
      -------------   -------------

      The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any 
right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim the Lender may otherwise have, 
the Lender and any purchaser of a participation in the Note shall be entitled, 
at any time and from time to time, at its option, without notice to Borrower 
(any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower),to offset balances held by 
it for the account of the Borrower at any of its offices, against any 
Indebtedness or other fees or charges owed to the Lender or such purchaser 
hereunder if the same are not paid when due (regardless of whether such 
balances are then due to the Borrower) or if the Borrower becomes insolvent, 
howsoever evidenced, or if any Event of Default occurs, and that such offset 
balances may be applied toward the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower 
to the Lender or to any such purchaser in the Note, whether or not such 
Indebtedness or any part thereof shall then be due; in which case the Lender or 
such purchaser shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof, provided, however, 
that the Lender's or such purchaser's failure to give such notice shall not 
affect the validity thereof.

      Section 10.05.  Governing Law.
      -------------   -------------

    THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND 
GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND 
DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED 
IN SAID STATE.

      Section 10.06.  Amendment; Modification.
      -------------   -----------------------

      No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the 
Note, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any 
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or 
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, 
for which given.  No notice to, or demand on, the Borrower, in any case, shall 
entitle the Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, 
similar or other circumstances.

      Section 10.07.  Waiver.
      -------------   ------

      The Lender's failure to insist upon the strict performance of any term, 
condition or other provision of this Agreement, the Note or any of the Security 
Documents or other Transaction Documents, or to exercise any right or remedy 
hereunder or thereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by the Lender of any 
such term, condition or other provision or default or Event of Default in 
connection therewith; and any waiver of any such term, condition or other 
provision or of any such default or Event of Default shall not affect or alter 
this Agreement, the Note or any of the Security Documents or other Transaction 
Documents, and each and every term, condition and other provision of this 
Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents and other Transaction Documents 
shall, in such event, continue in full force and effect and shall be operative 
with respect to any other then existing or subsequent default or Event of

$4,000,000.00                                      _____________________, 1994


            FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PAR PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. (the "Borrower"), 
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of MIDATLANTIC BANK, 
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the "Bank"), at its 
offices located at Metro Park Plaza, P.O. Box 600, 499 Thornall Street, Edison, 
New Jersey 08818, in lawful moneys of the United States of America, the 
principal sum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) (or if different the 
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances (as defined in the Loan 
Agreement (as hereinafter defined)) outstanding on the Termination Date (as 
defined in the Loan Agreement)) with interest thereon, as follows:

            (i)   Monthly payments of interest on the principal balance 
            outstanding from time to tome accrued to the date of payment, at 
            the rate hereinafter specified, on the last day of each month 
            commencing on December 31, 1994; and

            (ii)  Forty-eight (48) equal monthly installments of principal 
            (each installment equal to one forty-eighth (1/48) of the principal 
            amount outstanding on the Termination Date) commencing on January 
            31, 1995 and thereafter on the last day of each month until and 
            including December 31, 1998 when all unpaid principal, interest and 
            other amounts due shall be due and payable.

            All advances made by Bank hereunder, and all payments made on 
account of principal hereof, may be recorded by bank on the grid attached to 
and made a part of this Note.  Amounts recorded on such grid, or any amounts 
recorded by Bank electronically, by computer or otherwise in accordance with 
its customary practices, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, but failure 
to make or error in any such recordation shall not affect Obligor's obligation 
to repay the amounts due under this Note.

            Interest on the outstanding unpaid balance of principal hereof 
shall accrue from the date hereof at the rate of interest per annum as 
determined in accordance with Section 2.03(a) of the Loan Agreement, 
provided, that in no event shall such interest be higher than the maximum 
- --------
lawful rates and provided, further, that interest shall be calculated 
                 --------  -------
on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

            Interest on this Note shall be due and payable on the last day in 
each calendar month commencing December 31, 1994, or if the last day is not a 
Business Day, then on the first Business Day thereafter until the principal 
balance has been paid in full.  If not otherwise paid when due, the Bank may, 
at its discretion, charge said interest or any schedule payment of principal to 
any checking or loan account of the Borrower.  The Bank will present a monthly 
invoice to Borrower reflecting interest payments due, and any failure or delay 
by the Bank in submitting invoices for interest payments shall not discharge or 
relieve the Borrower of the obligation to make such interest payments.

            This Note is evidence of the Term Loan refereed to in the Term Loan 
Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between the Borrower and the Bank 
(herein called the "Loan Agreement") and all other agreements, mortgages and 
all other security for the payment hereof delivered to the Bank in connection 
with the Loan Agreement (hereinafter the "Loan Documents") between the Bank and 
the Borrower, and is subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Loan 
Documents, including certain provisions for prepayment and
<PAGE>
 
acceleration of maturity.  All terms of the Loan Agreement are incorporated 
herein by reference and in the event of ambiguity or inconsistency between the 
terms of the Loan Agreement and the terms hereof, the terms of the Loan 
Agreement shall prevail.  This Note is secured by and entitled to the benefits 
of each and every security interest granted under and pursuant to the Loan 
Documents.

            This Note shall be subject to prepayment on such terms and 
conditions and upon payment of such prepayment penalty as is provided in the 
Loan Agreement.

            If an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs, 
the principal (and to the extent permitted by law, interest) payable hereunder 
(whether before or after judgment) shall bear interest payable upon demand, 
from the date of such Event of Default until paid in full, at a fluctuating 
interest rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate (as defined in 
the Loan Agreement) and may become payable in the manner, with the effect, and 
subject to the conditions provided in the Loan Documents.

            If this Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon 
surrender thereof (if mutilated) or receipt of evidence (if lost, stolen or 
destroyed) the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new promissory note of like 
tenor, which shall show all payments which shall have been made on account of 
the principal hereof.

            The Borrower hereby consents that from time to time, without 
further notice or further consent, the performance or observance of any of the 
agreements or conditions contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents may 
be waived or the time of performance thereof extended by the holder hereof and 
payment of any obligation hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents may be 
accelerated in accordance with any agreement between the holder hereof and any 
party liable with respect hereto or thereto, or may be extended, or may be 
renewed in whole or in part, or any collateral securing the same may be 
exchanged, surrendered, released or otherwise dealt with as the holder hereof 
may determine, all without affecting the obligations hereunder of the Borrower.

            In connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or 
relating in any way to this Note, or any act or omission relating to any 
thereof, BORROWER AND BANK WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, and Borrower also 
waives all defenses and rights to interpose any setoff or counterclaim of any 
nature except only a defense pertaining to the existence of a default or a 
counterclaim to the extent that the failure to so assert such counterclaim 
would permanently preclude the prosecution or recovery upon the same.

            All parties hereof, whether makers, endorsers, or otherwise and all 
guarantors and sureties for the payment hereof, hereby waive diligence, demand, 
presentment, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, protect, and all other 
notices or demands whatsoever, and do hereby consent that without notice to and 
without releasing the liability of any party hereto, the obligation of any 
party may from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, 
modified, accelerated, compromised, settled or released by the Bank.  The 
non-exercise by the holder of any of its rights hereunder in any particular 
instance or series of instances shall not constitute a waiver thereof in such 
instances or any subsequent instance.

            Any provision of this Note that is prohibited or unenforceable in 
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent 
of such prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining 
provisions of this Note or affecting the validity or unenforceability of such 
provision in any other jurisdiction.

                            Pending Litigation
                            ------------------


            The Borrower is involved in minor litigation matters, incidental to 
the conduct of its business, but does not believe that the ultimate resolution 
thereof will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.  Three 
actions of which the Borrower is aware are:

      .     Penny Kay Petrie Liability Lawsuit wherein P.K. Petri, et al, have 
            initiated legal action against a physician, a pharmacy, Pfizer, 
            Inc. and Goldline Laboratories, Inc. (the firm for which the 
            Borrower manufactures product).  This action has been referred to 
            the Borrower's product liability insurance carrier.

      .     Rubie Mae Dillon Products Liability Lawsuit wherein R.M. Dillon has 
            initiated legal action against a physician and the Borrower.  This 
            action has been referred to the Borrower's product liability 
            insurance carrier.

      .     The Borrower has been named as a defendant in an action brought by 
            Borschow Hospital and Medical Supplies, Inc., in the United States 
            District Court for the District of Puerto Rico.  The action seeks 
            to recover approximately $62,000 for amounts allegedly due under a 
            distributorship agreement between Borschow and Quad 
            Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Quad"), as well as $1,200,000 in damages 
            for alleged termination without cause of Borschow's purported 
            exclusive distributorship for Quad.

            The Borrower received a warning letter on May 26, 1994, from the 
U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") setting forth certain alleged 
deviations from current good manufacturing practice regulations and alleged 
violations of related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.  
The warning letter does not limit the manufacture of the Borrower's product 
line nor suspend the review and approval of applications pending at FDA.  FDA 
indicated that it will shortly complete its review of the Borrower's response.

cost, to PRX Distributors, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRI and an 
affiliate of Borrower, and repurchases such inventory for sales to third 
parties in the ordinary course at prices charged to such other third parties.

            1.    PRI is contesting the IRS position that credits for research 
activities are not permitted.  In the event a determination is made that PRI 
was not entitled to such credits, a charge of approximately $1,000,000 will be 
incurred for income taxes.  PRI believes that any such disallowance, and the 
resultant charge, would not have any material adverse effect on PRI's 
operations, liquidity or cash flow.  Special tax counsel has been retained by 
PRI to resolve this matter and is presently in negotiations with the U.S. 
Treasury Department.

            The Borrower has a defined-contribution, Social Security integrated 
Retirement Plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees as defined 
in the Plan.  It also maintains a Retirement Savings plan whereby eligible 
employees are permitted to contribute from 1% to 12% of pay to this Plan.  The 
Borrower contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the pay 
contributed by the employee.

            The Borrower maintains a Defined Benefit Pension Plan covering 
eligible employees as defined in the Plan.  The benefits under this Plan are 
based on the participants' length of service and compensation, subject to 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Internal Revenue Service 
limitations.  The funding policy for this Plan is to contribute amounts 
actuarially determined as necessary to provide sufficient assets to meet the 
benefit requirements of the Plan retirees.  The plan's assets are invested in 
guaranteed deposit accounts.  Effective October 1, 1989, the Company "froze" 
the Plan, accordingly, service costs are excluded from benefit accruals under 
the Plan.

            The discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation 
for the Plan is 7%.  The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets in 
1993 was 9%.  The Plan's funded status and the amounts recorded on the 
Company's consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

($7,000,000.00) (the "Revolving Loan Commitment").  

        (b)  Restated Note.  Simultaneously with the execution and delivery

upon delivery to the Lender of the Revolving Note, the 1992 Revolving Loan Note 
shall be marked "Cancelled because restated" and returned to the Borrower.

        (c)  Procedures for Making Advances.  Whenever the Borrower desires 
             ------------------------------
to receive an Advance, the Borrower will furnish the Lender a written request 
(referred to as a "Disbursement Request"), by telecopier or otherwise, which 
shall (i) be received by the Lender at the address for notices under Section

such Advance to the account of the Borrower specified in the Disbursement 
Request.

        Section 2.02.  Repayment of Principal; Prepayment.
        ------------   ----------------------------------

        (a)  Principal in Respect of Revolving Loan.  The Revolving Loan

shall be payable without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (i) on the later of 
(A) March 31, 1996 or (B) thereafter within thirty (30) days after demand by 
the Lender or (ii) at such other time as is provided under Section 8.01 of this

referred to as the "Maturity Date"), when all remaining outstanding principal 
and accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable in full without setoff, 
deduction or counterclaim.

        (b)      Change Against Accounts.  If not otherwise paid when due, 
                 -----------------------
the Lender may, at its discretion, charge the amount of any payment of 
principal or interest due on the Revolving Loan or any other amount that shall 
become due from the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement, to any 
checking or loan account of the Borrower against payment of any such amount.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
        (c)      Principal Clean-ups.  The Borrower agrees that, during the 
                 -------------------
term of this Agreement, it shall reduce the outstanding principal balance of 
the Revolving Loans to zero for at least thirty (30) consecutive days during 
each calendar year. 

        Section 2.03.  Applicable Interest Rate; Payment of Interest.
        ------------   ---------------------------------------------

        (a)   Revolving Loan Interest Rate.  The outstanding principal 
              ----------------------------
balance of the Revolving Loan shall bear interest from the date of Advance 
until payment in full, both before and after maturity, at a fluctuating rate 
per annum equal to the Prime Rate.

        (b)  Payment Dates.  Interest on the Note shall be payable monthly 
             -------------
in arrears without setoff, deduction or counterclaim on the first day of each 
calendar month commencing January 1, 1995 and continuing on the first day of 
each calendar month thereafter and after maturity, whether by reason of 
acceleration, payment, prepayment or otherwise.

        (c)  Interest Calculations.  Interest shall be computed on the 
             ---------------------
basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year counting the actual number of 
days elapsed.

        (d)      Lawful Rate.  If the interest rate calculated in 
                 -----------
accordance with the terms of any provision of this Agreement, or the aggregate 
of all amounts due hereunder which are contracted for, charged or collected 
shall, at any time under any circumstances, exceed the maximum permitted by any 
law then applicable to the Revolving Loan, then for such period as the rate or 
amount contracted for, charged or collected would exceed the maximum permitted 
by such law (and no longer) the rate payable on the Revolving Loan or so 
contracted for, charged or collected shall be reduced to the maximum permitted 
by such law.  In the event the Lender ever collects, or applies, as interest, 
any amount in excess of the maximum permitted by law, such excess amount shall 
be deemed a prepayment of such portion of the amounts due hereunder as are 
deemed to constitute principal of a loan, and if all amounts so deemed to 
constitute principal have been or are thereby paid in full, any remaining 
excess shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent permitted by law.

        Section 2.04.  Unused Line Fee.  In addition to interest and 
        ------------   ---------------
other charges herein provided, the Borrower shall pay the Lender a fee ("Unused 
Line Fee") of one-quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum of the amount equal 
to the Revolving Loan Commitment minus the outstanding principal balance of the 
Revolving Loans and the face amount of all outstanding standby letters of 
credit issued by Lender for the account of the Borrower.  The Unused Line Fee 
shall be computed on a daily basis and paid by the Borrower to the Lender 
quarterly in areas on the first day of each April, July, October and January.

        Section 2.05.  Security for the Note; Guarantees.
        ------------   ---------------------------------

hereunder and under the Note are unsecured. 

        (b)  The Borrower's obligations and indebtedness to Lender hereunder 
and under the Note are guaranteed by the joint and several, absolute and 
unconditional guarantees of the Guarantors (the "Guarantees").

        Section 2.06.  Use of Proceeds.
        ------------   ---------------

        The proceeds of the Revolving Loan shall be used by the Borrower 
exclusively for working capital purposes.

        Section 2.07.  Term.
        ------------   ----

        This Agreement, the Note, and all other agreements relating to the 
Revolving Loan contemplated hereby shall in all respects remain in full force 
and effect until final payment in full of the Note and all other Indebtedness 
to the Lender under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

periods, and are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly 
present the financial condition of the Borrower as at said dates and the 
results of operations of the Borrower for the periods indicated, subject to 
year end adjustments.  Since July 2, 1994, there has occurred no material 
adverse change in the Borrower's or (on a consolidated basis) PRI's business, 
assets, properties or condition (financial or otherwise), operations, or 
performance, other than as fully disclosed in said balance sheet and financial 
statements.  Neither the Borrower nor any of the Affiliate Companies has any 
contingent obligations, liabilities for taxes or unusual forward or long-term

in Schedule 4.04, be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute 
(with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or except as may be 
permitted under this Agreement, result in the creation or imposition of any 
lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property

instrumentality or other agency, or any arbitration board or tribunal, now 
pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened (nor is the Borrower 
aware of any facts which could likely result therein), (a) which questions the

taken pursuant hereto or thereto, or (b) against or affecting the Borrower or 
any Affiliate Company, or to the knowledge of Borrower any other Affiliate of

material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or 
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower.

      Section 4.06.  Compliance with Laws and Agreements.
      ------------   -----------------------------------

      Except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 4.06 hereto, neither the 
                                       -------------
Borrower nor any of the Affiliate Companies is a party to any agreement or 
instrument or subject to any corporate or other restriction materially and

financial or otherwise, of Borrower or (on a consolidated basis) of PRI.  
                                    --
Neither the Borrower nor any of the Affiliate Companies is in violation of any 
provision of its corporate charter, articles of incorporation or by-laws and is 
not in violation in any material respect of any indenture, agreement or 
instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or, to the best of 
the Borrower's knowledge and belief, of any provision of law, the violation of

                                                             --
consolidated basis) upon PRI, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or 
other agency of government.  Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, (a) 
the Borrower and each of the Affiliate Companies and each of their properties, 
machinery, facilities and other business assets is in compliance in all 
material respects with all federal and state laws and regulations (including, 
without limitation, all regulations, rules, orders and requirements of the 
United States Food and Drug Administration) the violation of which could

or (on a consolidated basis) upon PRI, neither the Borrower nor any of the

investigation with respect to any violation of any such law, rule or

                             -------------
title to all of the Collateral free and clear of all mortgages, security 
interests, restrictions, liens and encumbrances of any kind, including, without

      Section 4.08.  Other Names or Entities.
      ------------   -----------------------

      Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.08 to this Agreement, none of 
                             -------------
Borrower's business is conducted through any corporate subsidiary, 
unincorporated association or other entity and Borrower has not, within the 
seven years preceding the date of this Agreement (a) changed its name, (b) used 
any name other than the name stated at the beginning of this Agreement, or (c) 
merged or consolidated with, or acquired the assets of, any other corporation 
or business.

      Section 4.09.  No Insolvency.
      ------------   -------------

      Neither the borrowings made by the Borrower under this Agreement nor the 
execution, delivery and performance of the Note and the Transaction Documents 
render or will render the Borrower insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they 
become due; the Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition 
by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the 
liquidation of all or a substantial portion of its property, and the Borrower 
has no knowledge of any person contemplating the filing of any such petition 
against the Borrower.

      Section 4.10.  Full Disclosure.
      ------------   ---------------

      No statement of fact made by or on behalf of any Person (other than the 
Lender) in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or any certificate or 
schedule furnished to the Lender pursuant hereto or thereto contains any untrue 
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to 
make statements contained therein or herein not misleading.  There is no fact 
presently known to the Borrower which has not been disclosed to the Lender in 
writing which materially affects adversely, or, which could likely materially 
affect adversely the business, operations, properties, assets or condition, 
financial or otherwise, of the Borrower.

      Section 4.11.  Tax Returns; Tax Examination.
      ------------   ----------------------------

      (a)   Except as set forth in Schedule 4.11 hereto, the Borrower has 
                                   -------------
filed (or caused to be filed) all federal, state and local tax returns required 
to be filed, and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all 
material federal, state and local taxes, franchise fees, charges and 
assessments.

      (b)   The federal income tax returns of the Borrower have been examined 
by the Internal Revenue Service (or closed by applicable statute) for all tax 
periods prior to and including the tax year ending September, 1990.  All 
deficiencies that have been asserted against the Borrower as a result of such 
examination have been fully paid or finally settled or are being contested in 
good faith, and no issue has been raised in any such examination that, by 
application of similar principles reasonably can be expected to result in the 
assertion of a material deficiency for any other year not so examined, except 
to the extent that such deficiency has been reserved for in the financial 
statements described in Section 4.01.  The Borrower has not taken any 
                        ------------
reporting positions for which it does not have a reasonable basis and does not 
anticipate any further material tax liability with respect to the tax years 
that have not been closed.  For purposes of this Section 4.11 the term 
                                                 ------------
"Borrower" shall include each other Person with which the Borrower files 
consolidated or combined income tax returns or reports.

      Section 4.12.  Pension Plans, Etc.
      ------------   -------------------

      (a)   Plans.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.12 hereto, 
            -----                          -------------
neither the Borrower nor any entity with which Borrower would be aggregated (a 
"Commonly Controlled Entity") under Section 414(b), (c), (m), or (o) of the 
Code, maintains or contributes to any pension, profit sharing or other similar 
plan providing for a program of deferred compensation to any employee or former 
employee.

      (b)   Funding of Employee Benefit Plans.  Except as set forth in 
            ---------------------------------
Schedule 4.12 hereto, all contributions and other payments required to be 
- -------------
made by the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity to all employee benefit 
plans, as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which either the Borrower or any Commonly 
Controlled Entity maintains or

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
to which any of them contributes (the "Employee Benefit Plans") have been made 
or reserves adequate for such purposes have been set aside and reflected on the 
Borrower's financial statements.  With respect to any such Employee Benefit 
Plan which is an employee pension benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(2) of 
ERISA (an "Employee Pension Plan"), there is no accumulated funding deficiency, 
as defined in Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA and Section 412(a) of the Code, and no 
waiver of the minimum funding standard has been applied for or obtained from 
the Internal Revenue Service under Section 412(d) of the Code.  No lien has 
arisen under Section 412(n) of the Code with respect to the assets of the 
Borrower.  The Borrower has no reason to believe that the level of 
contributions required to be made to each multiemployer plan, as defined in 
Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA to which the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled 
Entity contributed or contributes (a "Multiemployer Plan") is not sufficient to 
maintain the level of benefits under such plan now in effect or scheduled to 
become effective in the future.

      (c)   Fiduciary Duties, Prohibited Transactions and Administration.  
            ------------------------------------------------------------
Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has breached any 
fiduciary duty imposed on it under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA with respect to 
any Employee Benefit Plan and has not engaged in any nonexempt prohibited 
transaction, as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.  
Each Employee Benefit Plan has been and is administered in all material 
respects in accordance with its terms and applicable laws, rules and 
regulations.

      (d)   Status of Funded Pension Plans.  Except as set forth in 
            ------------------------------
Schedule 4.12 hereto, each funded Employee Pension Plan has been determined 
- -------------
by the Internal Revenue Service to be qualified under Section 401(a) or Section 
403(a) of the Code and nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such 
qualification or the imposition of any material tax liability or penalty under 
the Code or ERISA on the Borrower.  With respect to each Employee Pension Plan 
which is subject to Title IV of ERISA, other than Multiemployer Plans, (1) 
neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has failed to make 
required contributions or incurred any liability to the Pension Benefit 
Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), (2) no reportable event, as defined in Section 
4043(b) of ERISA, has occurred, (3) except as set forth in Schedule 4.12 the 
actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities, as defined in Section 
4001(a)(16) of ERISA ("Benefit Liabilities"), does not exceed the fair market 
value of the assets available to provide the Benefit Liabilities.  Neither the 
Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity knows of any facts or circumstances 
which likely will, if known by the PBGC, give rise to any liability to the PBGC 
under Title IV of ERISA (other than for premium payments).  With respect to 
Multiemployer Plans, neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity 
has withdrawn or partially withdrawn, as described in Subtitle E of Title IV of 
ERISA from any Multiemployer Plan, and there exists no condition or set of 
circumstances which could likely result in any withdrawal from or the 
partition, termination, reorganization or insolvency of any Multiemployer Plan 
which could result in any  material liability to the Borrower or any Commonly 
Controlled Entity.

      (e)   Status of Employee Welfare Plans.  No Employee Benefit Plan 
            --------------------------------
which is an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA 
(an "Employee Welfare Plan"), provides for continuing benefits or coverage for 
any participant (or beneficiary) after the termination of the participant's 
employment except as may be required by Section 601 of ERISA and Section 4980B 
of the Code ("COBRA") and regulations thereunder or by applicable state 
statutory law.  With respect to any Employee Welfare Plan, Borrower and each 
Commonly Controlled Entity have complied with the notice and continuation 
coverage requirements of COBRA and regulations thereunder such that there would 
not result in any loss of any material deduction under Section 162 of the Code 
or any material tax, penalty or liability to the Borrower.

      (f)   Claims.  There are no claims (other than claims for benefits in 
            ------
the normal course), actions or lawsuits asserted or instituted with respect to, 
and neither Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has knowledge of any 
threatened claims or litigation with respect to, any Employee Benefit Plan or 
any fiduciary thereof, except as set forth in Schedule 4.12.
                                              -------------

      Section 4.13.  Licenses, Etc.
      ------------   --------------

      The Borrower and each Affiliate Company possess or have otherwise been 
granted all material governmental approvals, authorizations, licenses and

modifications or renewals thereof and any additional approvals, authorizations, 
licenses or permits hereafter issued or granted to the Borrower and to each 
Affiliate Company, being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the 
"Licenses").  All existing Licenses are in full force and effect, are duly 
issued or granted in the name of, or validly assigned to, the Borrower or such 
Affiliate Company, and the Borrower or such Affiliate Company have full power 
and authority to operate thereunder.

      Section 4.14.  O.S.H.A.
      ------------   --------

            Borrower and each Affiliate Company have duly complied with, and 
its facilities, business, leaseholds, equipment and other property are in 
compliance, in all material respects, with the provisions of the federal 
Occupational Safety and Health Act and all rules and regulations thereunder and 
all similar state and local laws, rules and regulations; and there are no 
outstanding citations, notices or orders of non-compliance issued to Borrower 
or relating to its facilities, business, leaseholds, equipment or other 
property under any such law, rule or regulation.

      Section 4.15.  Ownership of Borrower.
      ------------   ---------------------

capital stock of the Borrower and such shares are held free of any assignment, 
pledge, lien, security interest, charge, option or other encumbrance, except

options or other rights to acquire shares of the Borrower's capital stock of 
any class.

      Section 4.16.  Patents, Trademarks, Etc.
      ------------   -------------------------

      The Borrower owns or possesses all the patents, trademarks, service 
marks, trade names, copyrights and licenses, and all rights with respect to the 
foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted, without 
any known conflict with the rights of others.

      Section 4.17.  Brokers, Etc.
      ------------   -------------

      The Borrower has not dealt with any broker, finder, commission agent or 
other similar person in connection with the Revolving Loan or the transactions 
contemplated by this Agreement, and the Borrower is not under any obligation to 
pay any broker's fee, finder's fee or other similar compensation or commission 
in connection with such transactions and the Borrower covenants and agrees to

fees, finder's fees or other similar compensation or commission in connection 
with such transactions.

regulations applicable to it or the conduct of its business or ownership or use 
of its properties (including without limitation, those related to food and

      ------------   ---------

      (a)   Keep all of its insurable properties now or hereafter owned 
adequately insured at all times against loss or damage by fire or other 
casualty; provide and maintain (or cause to be provided and maintained), at its 
expense, comprehensive general property, products liability, workers' 
compensation and business interruption insurance protecting against such 
liabilities, losses and damages and in such amounts and with such deductibles 
as are reasonably acceptable to the Lender, in each case issued by financially 
sound and reputable insurers, and, upon request of the Lender, furnish to the 
Lender satisfactory evidence of the same; notify the Lender of any material 
change in the insurance maintained on the Borrower's properties after the date 
hereof and furnish the Lender satisfactory evidence of any such change; 
provided that each insurance policy shall:  (i) as to the Collateral, be "all 
risk" "full replacement cost" insurance against loss, damage or destruction  
with such deductibles as are reasonably acceptable to the Lender and name the 
Lender (A) as an additional insured and the sole loss payee or (B) as the sole 
loss payee pursuant to a so-called "standard mortgagee clause", (ii) provide 
that no action of the Borrower, any of the Affiliate Companies or any tenant or 
sub-tenant shall void such policy as to the Lender, (iii) provide that the 
Lender shall be notified of any proposed cancellation of such policy at least 
thirty (30) days in advance thereof and will have the opportunity to correct 
any deficiencies justifying such proposed cancellation; and ensure that all 
insurance payable with respect to the Collateral is payable to no party other 
than the Lender and the Borrower.  In the event that the Borrower shall default

Lender and add the premium(s) paid therefor to the principal amount of the 
indebtedness incurred pursuant hereto, and the amount of such premium shall be 
payable by the Borrower on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate 
payable hereunder.

      (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the 
contrary, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event 
of Default, the Borrower may collect and deposit in any account of the Borrower 
at the Lender the proceeds of insurance of Collateral which in the aggregate 
with all such proceeds and the book value of all sales or dispositions under

to therein) do not in the aggregate exceed $200,000 in any one Fiscal Year of 
the Borrower or exceed $800,000 from the date of this Agreement; provided, that 
the Borrower notifies the Lender in writing of the collection and deposit of 
such insurance proceeds, the Collateral loss which resulted in such insurance 
proceeds and the aggregate of all insurance proceeds then collected to date 
under this paragraph; provided, further, however, to the extent any such 
proceeds are used to repair or purchase replacement Collateral against which 
the Lender possesses a lien of the same priority as the Lender's lien was 
against the Collateral subject to the loss, then the amount of such insurance 
proceeds so used will not be included in the computation under this paragraph.

claim, so contested; and provided, further that, in any event, payment 
                         --------  -------

whether based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations,

Matters incurred by the Indemnities.

      (b)   To the extent permitted by applicable law, no claim may be made by

of the Transaction Documents or any act, omission or event occurring in 
connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not 
to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether 
or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.  Neither the Lender nor any of 
its affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for

with any of the above referenced documents except for its or their own gross 
negligence or willful misconduct.

      -------------   ------

      The Lender's failure to insist upon the strict performance of any term, 
condition or other provision of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other 
Transaction Documents, or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or 
thereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by the Lender of any such term, 
condition or other provision or default or Event of Default in connection 
therewith; and any waiver of any such term, condition or other provision or of 
any such default or Event of Default shall not affect or alter this Agreement, 
the Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, and each and every term,

      -------------   -----------------------

      All references in this Agreement to "knowledge" or "awareness" of, or 
"discovery" by, the Borrower shall be deemed to include any such knowledge of, 
or discovery by, PRI or any of the Borrower's executive officers.

      Section 10.19.  Integration.
      -------------   -----------

      This Agreement supersedes the Borrower's application for the Revolving 
Loan, the Lender's commitment and proposal letters in respect of the Revolving 
Loan, and all other prior dealings between the parties hereto and their 
respective agents, employees, or officers with respect to the credit facilities 
extended hereby, and this Agreement together with the Transaction Documents, 
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the 
subject matter hereof, and the 1992 Agreement is hereby terminated and 
superseded.

      Section 10.20.  Termination By Lender.  Lender shall have the 
      -------------   ---------------------
right, at any time on or after the Termination Date and in its sole and 
absolute discretion, and without the necessity for an Event of Default 
hereunder, to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice to 
Borrower.  Upon the termination date stated in such notice:  (a) all provisions 
for additional Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall terminate, (b) the 
principal and interest of the Revolving Loans and all other obligations under 
this Agreement and the Transaction Documents related to the Revolving Loans 
shall become and be immediately due and payable, without premium or penalty, 
without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of 
which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and (c) Lender shall be entitled 
to exercise forthwith (to the extend and in such order as Lender may elect, in 
its sole and absolute discretion) any or all of the rights and remedies for the 
collection of such amounts.

      Section 10.21.  Termination By Borrower. 
      -------------   -----------------------

      (a)   Borrower may terminate this Agreement, without termination charge, 
on or after February 20, 1995, by giving Lender sixty (60) days' prior written 
notice, provided that on such termination date the principal and interest of 
the Revolving Loans, and all other obligations under this Agreement and the 
Transaction Documents related to the Revolving Loans have been paid in full.

      (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other 
agreement between Borrower and Lender to the contrary, if Borrower prepays the 
Term Loans and establishes a borrowing or banking relationship with any third 
party while this Agreement remains in effect or any other obligation to Lender 
remains outstanding, then the Revolving Loans shall terminate and all 
outstanding obligations of the Borrower to Lender, including without 
limitation, the Revolving Loans and the IDA Loan (as defined in the Amended and 
Restated Agreement Concerning Term Loans), shall be immediately due and 
payable, with accrued interest.

      Section 10.22.  Effect on Revolving Loan Limit.  Upon the giving 
      -------------   ------------------------------
of notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.20 or 10.21, the Revolving Loan

                     Form of Restated Revolving Loan Note

$ 7,000,000.00                                         Date: ________ __, 1994

    FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PAR PHARMACEUTICAL, INC., a New 
Jersey corporation ("Borrower"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the 
order of MIDLANTIC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Lender") upon the Maturity 
Date, as defined in the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal sum 
of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) or, if different, the aggregate unpaid 
principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to 
the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated the date hereof, and 
any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof (the "Agreement"), and to pay 
interest as hereinafter provided on all principal of Revolving Loans remaining 
unpaid from time to time, from the date of each such Revolving Loan until its 
payment in full.  Both principal and interest hereunder shall be payable in 
lawful money of the United States of America, and in immediately available 
funds, at the office of Bank located at Metropark Plaza, P.O. Box 600, 499 
Thornall Street, Edison, New Jersey 08818 or at such other place as the holder 
hereof may from time to time designate in writing.

      All of the provisions of the Agreement are incorporated herein by 
reference and, in the event of ambiguity or inconsistency between any 
provisions of the Agreement and this Note, the provisions of the Agreement 
shall prevail.  Any term in initial capitals in this Note and not otherwise 
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

      Interest on principal amounts hereunder shall be payable monthly on the 
first Business Day in each calendar month, commencing January 1, 1995 and on 
the final day when said principal amounts become due, at a fluctuating interest 
rate per annum equal at all times to the prime rate of Lender in effect from 
time to time; provided if an Event of Default occurs the principal (and, to the 
extent permitted by law, interest) payable hereunder (whether before or after 
judgment) shall bear interest payable on demand, from the day when said Event 
of Default occurs until it is paid in full, at a fluctuating interest rate per 
annum equal at all times to the Default Rate (as defined in the Agreement).  
Each change in the fluctuating interest rate hereunder shall take effect 
simultaneously with the corresponding change in the prime rate.  The prime rate 
applicable to this Note shall be the rate of interest announced from time to 
time by Lender as its "prime rate" or "prime lending rate".  This rate of 
interest is determined from time to time by Lender as a means of pricing some 
loans to its customers and it is neither tied to any external rate of interest 
or index nor does it necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually 
charged by Lender to any particular class or category of customers.  Lender 
shall present a monthly invoice to Borrower reflecting the interest payment 
due, but any failure or delay by Lender in submitting invoices for interest 
payments shall not discharge or relieve Borrower of the obligation to make such 
interest payments.

      If not otherwise paid when due, the Borrower authorizes the Lender to 
debit any loan or deposit account maintained by it with the Lender for accrued 
interest, as and when due.  Such authorization shall not affect the Borrower's 
obligation to pay when due all amounts payable hereunder whether or not there 
are sufficient funds in any such accounts.  The foregoing shall be in addition 
to and not in limitation of any rights of set-off which the Bank may have.

      This Note has been issued under the Agreement and the Agreement contains, 
among other terms, provisions for acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder 
upon the happening of certain stated events.  Notwithstanding any other 
provision of this Note or the Agreement, the maturity hereof shall be 
accelerated as provided in the Agreement upon termination of the Agreement by 
Borrower.

      If this Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon surrender 
thereof (if mutilated) or  receipt of evidence and indemnity (if lost, stolen 
or destroyed) Borrower shall execute and deliver a new promissory note of like 
tenor, which shall show all payments which shall have been made on account of 
the
<PAGE>
 
principal hereof.

      This Note shall be subject to prepayment on such terms and conditions and 
upon payment of such prepayment penalty, if any, as is provided in the 
Agreement.

      Borrower and any endorser, surety or guarantor of this Note hereby each 
(a) waive diligence, presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, 
protest, notice of protest and all other demands and notices in connection with 
the delivery, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as may be 
specifically otherwise provided in the Agreement, (b) consent that, without 
notice to or release of the liability of any such party, the obligations of any 
party may from time to time, in whole or part, be renewed, extended, modified, 
accelerated, compromised, settled or released by Lender, and (c) waive all 
defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Borrower has
executed this Note as of the date first above written.

                            Pending Litigation
                            ------------------


            The Borrower is involved in minor litigation matters, incidental to 
the conduct of its business, but does not believe that the ultimate resolution 
thereof will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.  Three 
actions of which the Borrower is aware are:

      .     Penny Kay Petrie Liability Lawsuit wherein P.K. Petri, et al, have 
            initiated legal action against a physician, a pharmacy, Pfizer, 
            Inc. and Goldline Laboratories, Inc. (the firm for which the 
            Borrower manufactures product).  This action has been referred to 
            the Borrower's product liability insurance carrier.

      .     Rubie Mae Dillon Products Liability Lawsuit wherein R.M. Dillon has 
            initiated legal action against a physician and the Borrower.  This 
            action has been referred to the Borrower's product liability 
            insurance carrier.

      .     The Borrower has been named as a defendant in an action brought by 
            Borschow Hospital and Medical Supplies, Inc., in the United States 
            District Court for the District of Puerto Rico.  The action seeks 
            to recover approximately $62,000 for amounts allegedly due under a 
            distributorship agreement between Borschow and Quad 
            Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Quad"), as well as $1,200,000 in damages 
            for alleged termination without cause of Borschow's purported 
            exclusive distributorship for Quad.

            The Borrower received a warning letter on May 26, 1994, from the 
U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") setting forth certain alleged 
deviations from current good manufacturing practice regulations and alleged 
violations of related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.  
The warning letter does not limit the manufacture of the Borrower's product 
line nor suspend the review and approval of applications pending at FDA.  FDA 
indicated that it will shortly complete its review of the Borrower's response.

            Borrower sells inventory purchased from foreign manufacturers, at 
cost, to PRX Distributors, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRI and an 
affiliate of Borrower, and repurchases such inventory for sales to third 
parties in the ordinary course at prices charged to such other third parties.

            All other Affiliate Companies of Borrower are wholly-owned 
subsidiaries of the Borrower and are in all material respects inactive.

            Borrower was the surviving corporation of a merger with Par Merging 
Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRI.  The Certificate of Merger was filed 
on August 8, 1991, in the New Jersey Secretary of State's Office.

            1.    PRI is contesting the IRS position that credits for research 
activities are not permitted.  In the event a determination is made that PRI 
was not entitled to such credits, a charge of approximately $1,000,000 will be 
incurred for income taxes.  PRI believes that any such disallowance, and the 
resultant charge, would not have any material adverse effect on PRI's 
operations, liquidity or cash flow.  Special tax counsel has been retained by 
PRI to resolve this matter and is presently in negotiations with the U.S. 
Treasury Department.

                            -------------------


            The Borrower has a defined-contribution, Social Security integrated 
Retirement Plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees as defined 
in the Plan.  It also maintains a Retirement Savings plan whereby eligible 
employees are permitted to contribute from 1% to 12% of pay to this Plan.  The 
Borrower contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the pay 
contributed by the employee.

            The Borrower maintains a Defined Benefit Pension Plan covering 
eligible employees as defined in the Plan.  The benefits under this Plan are 
based on the participants' length of service and compensation, subject to 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Internal Revenue Service 
limitations.  The funding policy for this Plan is to contribute amounts 
actuarially determined as necessary to provide sufficient assets to meet the 
benefit requirements of the Plan retirees.  The plan's assets are invested in 
guaranteed deposit accounts.  Effective October 1, 1989, the Company "froze" 
the Plan, accordingly, service costs are excluded from benefit accruals under 
the Plan.

            The discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation 
for the Plan is 7%.  The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets in 
1993 was 9%.  The Plan's funded status and the amounts recorded on the 
Company's consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

$ 7,000,000.00                                         Date: November 30, 1994

              FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PAR PHARMACEUTICAL, 
INC., a New Jersey corporation ("Borrower"), hereby unconditionally promises to 
pay to the order of MIDLANTIC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Lender") upon 
the Maturity Date, as defined in the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the 
principal sum of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) or, if different, the 
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by Lender to 
Borrower pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated 
the date hereof, and any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof (the 
"Agreement"), and to pay interest as hereinafter provided on all principal of 
Revolving Loans remaining unpaid from time to time, from the date of each such 
Revolving Loan until its payment in full.  Both principal and interest 
hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, and 
in immediately available funds, at the office of Bank located at Metropark 
Plaza, P.O. Box 600, 499 Thornall Street, Edison, New Jersey 08818 or at such 
other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing.

                All of the provisions of the Agreement are incorporated herein 
by reference and, in the event of ambiguity or inconsistency between any 
provisions of the Agreement and this Note, the provisions of the Agreement 
shall prevail.  Any term in initial capitals in this Note and not otherwise 
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

                Interest on principal amounts hereunder shall be payable 
monthly on the first Business Day in each calendar month, commencing January 1, 
1995 and on the final day when said principal amounts become due, at a 
fluctuating interest rate per annum equal at all times to the prime rate of 
Lender in effect from time to time; provided if an Event of Default occurs the 
principal (and, to the extent permitted by law, interest) payable hereunder 
(whether before or after judgment) shall bear interest payable on demand, from 
the day when said Event of Default occurs until it is paid in full, at a 
fluctuating interest rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate (as 
defined in the Agreement).  Each change in the fluctuating interest rate 
hereunder shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the 
prime rate.  The prime rate applicable to this Note shall be the rate of 
interest announced from time to time by Lender as its "prime rate" or "prime 
lending rate".  This rate of interest is determined from time to time by Lender 
as a means of pricing some loans to its customers and it is neither tied to any 
external rate of interest or index nor does it necessarily reflect the lowest 
rate of interest actually charged by Lender to any particular class or category 
of customers.  Lender shall present a monthly invoice to Borrower reflecting 
the interest payment due, but any failure or delay by Lender in submitting 
invoices for interest payments shall not discharge or relieve Borrower of the 
obligation to make such interest payments.

                If not otherwise paid when due, the Borrower authorizes the 
Lender to debit any loan or deposit account maintained by it with the Lender 
for accrued interest, as and when due.  Such authorization shall not affect the 
Borrower's obligation to pay when due all amounts payable hereunder whether or 
not there are sufficient funds in any such accounts.  The foregoing shall be in 
addition to and not in limitation of any rights of set-off which the Bank may 
have.

security interest granted by Borrower to Lender as security for the due and

grant to Lender of a security interest in, and hereby pledges, transfers and 
assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all of the 
Collateral wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter created and 
whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and all accessions and 
additions thereto, replacements and substitutions therefor, and proceeds and 
products thereof.  The security interest granted hereby, and all remedies and 
other rights stated or referred to in this Agreement or any of the Relevant 
Documents, shall continue in full force and effect until full and final payment 
and performance of the Loans and all other obligations of Borrower under or 
referred to in the Notes or other Relevant Documents.

            (vii) Remedies.
                  --------

                  (a)  In case any one or more events of default as defined 
under any of the Relevant Documents shall occur and be continuing, Lender shall 
have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or 
by this Agreement or any other Relevant Document, to proceed to protect and 
enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate 
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in 
this Agreement, any Relevant Document or for an injunction against a violation 
of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power 
granted hereunder or thereby or by law and, in addition, Lender may, without 
being required to give any notice, except as expressly provided by a Relevant 
Document or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, (i) apply the 
cash, if any, then or thereafter held by it as Collateral in the manner 
specified in the Relevant Document(s), and (ii) enter upon the premises where 
any of the Collateral is located and take possession of, and at Lender's option 
remove or sell in place, any or all thereof, at public or private sale, for 
cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Lender 
may deem satisfactory.  Lender may require Borrower to assemble all or any part 
of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated 
by Lender which is reasonably convenient.  Any holder of an obligation under 
the Relevant Document(s) may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral 
so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold 
in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely 
distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold 
the same absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind.  Upon any 
such sale Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the 
purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each purchaser at any such sale 
shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right of 
whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Borrower.  
Lender shall give Borrower ten (10) days' prior written notice of its intention 
to make any such public or private sale.  Lender and Borrower agree that such 
notice constitutes "reasonable notification" within the meaning of Section 
9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Such notice, in case of a public 
sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale.  Any such public sale 
shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such 
place or places as Lender may fix in the notice of such sale.  At any such sale 
the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as 
Lender may determine.  Lender shall not be obligated to make such sale pursuant 
to any such notice.  Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any 
public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by 
announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be 
made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned.  In case of any 
sale or all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the 
Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the selling price is paid by 
the purchaser thereof, but Lender shall not incur any liability in case of the 
failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in 
case of any such failure, such  Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
                  (b)  In case any one or more events of default as defined 
under any of the Relevant Documents shall occur and be continuing, Lender shall 
have the right and power, to the extent permitted by law, to take possession of 
all or any part of the Collateral, and to exclude Borrower and all persons 
claiming under Borrower wholly or partly therefrom, and thereafter to hold, 
store, and/or use, operate, manage and control the same.  Upon any such taking 
of possession, Lender may, from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, make 
all such replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the 
Collateral as Lender may deem proper.  In such case, Lender shall have the 
right to manage and control the Collateral and to carry on the business and to 
exercise all rights and powers of Borrower in respect thereto as Lender shall 
deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with 
respect to the leasing and/or operation of the Collateral or any part thereof 
as Lender may deem fit; and Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive all 
rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income of the same and every 
part thereof.  Such rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income 
shall be applied to pay the expenses of holding and operating the Collateral 
and of conducting the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, 
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments 
which Lender may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, 
assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part 
thereof, and all other payments which Lender may be required or authorized to 
make under any provision of the Relevant Document (including legal costs and 
reasonable attorney's fees).  The remainder of such rents, issues, profits, 
fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to the payment of the 
obligations under the Relevant Document in such order or priority as Lender 
shall determine (subject to the provisions of such Relevant Document) and, 
unless otherwise provided by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction, any 
surplus shall be paid over Borrower.

          (viii)  Continued Effectiveness of Certain Agreements.

interest due on any of the Loans or any other amount that shall become due from 
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or any of the Relevant Documents, to 
any checking or loan account of Borrower or apply any Collateral proceeds or 
other funds received by Lender against payment of any such amount.

            (x)   Lawful Rate.  No amount due hereunder or under the Notes 
                  -----------
which is contracted for, charged or collected shall exceed the maximum rate of 
interest allowed from time to time by applicable law.  If the interest rate 
calculated in accordance with or under this Agreement or the Notes would at any 
time exceed the maximum permitted by any law then applicable, then for such 
period as such rate would exceed the maximum permitted by said law (and no 
longer) such rate of interest payable shall be reduced to the maximum permitted 
by such law.

as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender; provided, however, 
if Lender takes affirmative action to enforce any of its remedies in order to

result of any such action shall be applied first against secured obligations 
and then against any unsecured obligations.

Mr. Robert M. Fisher, Jr.
74 Turtleback Lane West
New Canaan, CT  06840

Dear Bob:

            I am pleased to provide you with this new offer letter which 
supersedes the initial offer letter signed by you and Par Pharmaceutical on 
October 3, 1993.  Par and you mutually agree that all provisions of the October 
3, 1993 offer letter are null and void upon signing this new offer letter.  
Going forward, following are the basic terms of your employment with Par 
Pharmaceutical, Inc. and/or Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. (individually or 
collectively sometimes referred to as the "Company") as Vice President - 
Corporate Development, Sales and Marketing.
 
Department:       Officers

Reporting to:     Mr. Kenneth I. Sawyer

Effective Date: October 13, 1994

Initial Salary:$14,166.67 a month, $170,000 annually, to be reviewed on an 
annual basis and may be considered for an adjustment by Par to reflect 
performance and responsibilities.

Bonus:      You will be eligible for consideration for an annual bonus, 
consistent with a company program, based on both your performance and the 
performance of the Company.

Benefits:

Group Insurance:  Health, life and long-term disability insurance programs are 
provided to employees and their dependents by the Company, upon payment of the 
applicable premium amount.

Vacation:   You will be entitled to up to four weeks of paid vacation annually.

Automobile: Par will provide you with the use of an automobile, including 
reimbursement of all related maintenance, fuel, repair, insurance and other 
costs.

Other:      You will be eligible to participate in the Company's 401(K) Plan, 
company sponsored retirement plan, and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan upon 
meeting the Company's specified eligibility requirements for each plan.

Stock:      In addition to the 10,000 stock options you were granted upon 
commencing employment, I will recommend to the Board of Directors that you be 
granted options to purchase 20,000 additional shares of PRI common stock at an 
exercise price per share equal to the closing price of PRI common stock on the 
date of the grant by the Compensation Committee based on standard terms and 
conditions of the Board of Directors.

Termination/Change of Control:Your employment by Par is subject to the 
following provisions:
<PAGE>
 
If you terminate your employment for "good reason" or are voluntarily 
terminated by the Company, except for cause, the Company or as the case may be, 
will provide the other party with 90 days notification prior to termination and 
the Company will provide you with severance compensation amounting to twelve 
(12) months continuation of your prevailing base salary, payable in 12 equal 
monthly installments, from the date of your termination.

Except for "good reason" as defined in this paragraph, severance compensation 
shall not be payable to you if your employment is terminated by the Company for 
cause, or voluntarily by you, or if you accept employment elsewhere.  "Good 
reason" shall mean a termination by you of your employment (a) based on the 
assignment to you of any duties materially inconsistent with your position, 
duties, responsibilities and status with the Company or based on a change in 
your reporting responsibilities, title or offices as in effect or any removal 
(other than for cause) of you from or any failure to re-elect you to any of 
such positions or a reduction in your annual compensation, except in connection 
with the termination of your employment for cause, and (b) the failure of the 
Company to cure the reasons, if curable, causing the termination within twenty 
(20) days of receiving a written notice from you specifying such reasons.

In the event of your death or disability, you are entitled only to those 
benefits described under "Benefits".

If you are eligible for severance compensation, as of your termination date, 
you will be entitled to continue to participate, to the extent permissible, in 
the Company's 401K Plan, the Company sponsored retirement plan, and Employee 
Stock Purchase Plan until the expiration of your severance compensation or 
until you commence employment elsewhere, whichever comes first.

Also, as of your termination date, you will be entitled to the extent 
permissible to continue to participate in the Company's health, dental, life, 
and disability plans until the expiration of your severance compensation or 
until covered by a reasonably comparable program, whichever comes first.

If you are eligible for severance compensation as defined above, all your 
unvested stock options, which have been awarded to you shall become immediately 
vested on the Termination Date and the date by which all such options must be 
exercised shall be two years from the Termination Date.

If during the first twelve months of the Employment Term you are terminated 
voluntarily by Par without cause or because of a change of control, you will be 
eligible for a pro rata share of an annual bonus, if any, at the discretion of 
your supervisor and dependent upon your performance and the performance of the 
Company.

These terms represent the entirety of any severance, employment or any other 
agreement between you and "the Company".

As a condition of your employment with the Company, you will be required to 
execute the Company's standard Trade Secret, Non-Disclosure and Restrictive 
Covenant Agreement attached.

If you accept this offer of employment, please sign below and return the signed 
copy to me as soon as convenient.  Once signed by you, this letter will 
constitute the complete agreement between you and the Company regarding 
employment matters or oral agreements or understandings on these matters.
