                        ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                        
                     TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 21, 1995     
 
                              GENERAL INFORMATION
   
  This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of Pharmaceutical
Resources, Inc. (the "Company"), a New Jersey corporation, in connection with
the solicitation by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") of proxies
to be voted at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting"), and at
any adjournment(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying
Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Meeting is to be held on
September 21, 1995, at the Holiday Inn-Suffern, Three Executive Boulevard,
Suffern, New York, at 10:00 A.M., local time.     
 
  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at One Ram Ridge
Road, Spring Valley, New York 10977, and its telephone number is (914) 425-
7100. The enclosed proxy and this proxy statement are being transmitted to
shareholders of the Company on or about July [ ], 1995.
 
SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION
 
  The accompanying proxy in the form enclosed is being solicited by and on
behalf of the Board. The solicitation of proxies will be made principally by
mail and, in addition, may be made by directors, officers and employees of the
Company personally, or by telephone or telegraph, without extra compensation.
The Company has also retained Georgeson & Company Inc. to assist it in the
solicitation of proxies. Brokers, nominees and fiduciaries will be reimbursed
for their out-of-pocket and clerical expenses in transmitting proxies and
related material to beneficial owners. The costs of soliciting proxies will be
borne by the Company. It is estimated that such costs will be approximately
$8,000.
   
  The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of the
Company (the "Common Stock") entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum. The
accompanying proxy card is intended to permit a shareholder of record on
August 8, 1995 to vote at the Meeting on the proposals described in this Proxy
Statement, whether or not the shareholder attends the Meeting. Persons who
acquire shares of record after the close of business on August 8, 1995 will
not be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting by proxy or by voting at
the Meeting in person. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as
proxies by the Board. Shares represented by properly executed proxies received
by the Company will be voted at the Meeting in the manner specified therein
or, if no specification is made, will be voted (i) "FOR" the election of the
two nominees for director named herein, (ii) "FOR" the grant and issuance to
Clal Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of
the State of Israel ("Clal"), of a warrant to purchase shares of the Company's
Common Stock as further described in this Proxy Statement (the "Proposed
Warrant"), (iii) "FOR" an amendment to the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan, (iv)
"FOR" the approval and adoption of the 1995 Directors' Stock Option Plan, and
(v) at the discretion of the proxy holders in respect of such other business,
if any, as may properly be brought before the Meeting and which the Board did
not know would be presented at the Meeting.     
 
  Abstentions and shares of record held by a broker or nominee ("Broker
Shares") that are voted on any matter will be included in determining the
existence of a quorum. Broker Shares that are not voted on any matter will not
be included in determining the existence of a quorum. Abstentions and Broker
Shares that are not voted will not be counted in tabulations of the votes cast
on proposals. Thus, neither abstentions nor non-voted Broker Shares will have
an effect on the outcome of the election of the two nominees for directors,
which requires only
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
that a plurality of the votes cast be in favor of each nominee, or the
approval of the grant and issuance of the Proposed Warrant or of the amendment
to the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan and the adoption of the 1995 Directors' Stock
Option Plan, each of which requires a majority of the votes cast in favor of
such amendment. Non-voted Broker Shares will also have no effect on the
outcome of any other proposals to the Company's shareholders. Any proxy given
to the Company by a shareholder pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked
by the shareholder at any time before it is exercised by written notification
delivered to the Secretary of the Company, by voting in person at the Meeting,
or by executing and delivering another proxy bearing a later date. Attendance
by a shareholder at the Meeting does not alone serve to revoke the proxy.
 
                 VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
 
OUTSTANDING SHARES
   
  The Board has fixed the close of business on August 8, 1995 as the record
date (the "Record Date") for the determination of shareholders of the Company
who are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. An
aggregate of 17,084,638 shares of Common Stock were outstanding at the close
of business on June 23, 1995. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the
Record Date is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the
Meeting, and the Company's shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.
The Company has no other class of voting securities entitled to vote at the
Meeting.     
 
OWNERSHIP OF VOTING SECURITIES
 
  The following table sets forth, as of the close of business on June 23,
1995, the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by (i) each person known
(based solely on a review of Schedules 13D) 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,
as defined in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement,
and (iv) all directors and current executive officers of the Company and Par
Pharmaceutical, Inc., the Company's principal operating subsidiary ("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.

VOTING ARRANGEMENTS
          
  The Company and Clal entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March
25, 1995, as amended on May 1, 1995 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), pursuant
to which Clal, on May 1, 1995, purchased 2,027,272 shares of Common Stock and
the Company issued to Clal a warrant to purchase 936,282 shares of Common
Stock (the "Outstanding Warrant"). Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Clal
agreed to vote all of the shares of Common Stock held by it in favor of
certain business combination transactions of the Company and certain sales of
assets or securities of the Company. See "Proposal II--Approval of the Grant
and Issuance to Clal of a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock--Background." In
addition, Clal has certain rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement to
nominate directors to the Company's Board and committees thereof. See
"Election of Directors--Directors."     
          
  Clal has indicated to the Company that it intends to vote all shares of
Common Stock owned by it for the election of the two named nominees as
directors of the Company and for the approval of each of the other proposals

shares of Common Stock for such proposals pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement.

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
DIRECTORS
 
  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board shall be
divided into three classes, with the term of office of one class expiring each
year. The Class I and Class III directors of the Company have terms which
expire in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The terms of office of Class II
directors expire this year. Andrew Maguire, Ph.D. and Melvin H. Van Woert,
M.D. are each nominated to be elected at the Meeting as Class II directors to
hold office for a three-year term until the 1998 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
The maximum number of directors is set by the By-laws at fifteen and the
number of directors is presently set, by resolution, at seven.
   
  Proxies in the accompanying form will be voted at the Meeting in favor of
the election of each of the nominees listed on the accompanying form of proxy,
unless authority to do so is withheld as to an individual nominee or nominees
or all nominees as a group. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of
persons than the number of nominees named. It is expected that each of the
nominees will be able to serve, but if before the election it develops that
any one or more of the nominees will be unable to serve or for good cause will
not serve, the proxies reserve discretion to vote or refrain from voting for a
substitute nominee or nominees. Each of the nominees has consented to serve as
a director of the Company and to be named herein. Mr. Maguire and Dr. Van
Woert are currently members of the Board. Directors will be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon
who are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.     
   
  In June 1995, Mony Ben-Dor was elected by the Board to fill a vacancy on the
Board as a Class I director in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase
Agreement. See "Proposal II--Approval of the Grant and Issuance to Clal of a
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock--Background." Under such Agreement, Clal has
the right to designate one-seventh of the members of the Board as long as Clal
owns 8% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, and a total of two-
sevenths of the members of the Board if Clal owns at least 14% (or, upon
issuance of the Proposed Warrant, 16%) of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock. The Company has the right to reject a designee of Clal if such person
is not reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company also agreed to elect
Clal's designee to the Audit Committee, Compensation and Stock Option
Committee and Executive Committee of the Board. In the event that Clal does
not nominate directors to the Board or its committees or if Clal's designees
are not elected to the Board or its committees, Clal is permitted, under the
Stock Purchase Agreement, to designate representatives who may attend meetings
of the Board and its committees. Additionally, if Clal's appointment of a
director to the Audit Committee is prohibited by the rules and regulations of
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Company will provide Clal materials
which are provided to committee members, the appointment of the Company's
auditors will be approved by the entire Board, the Company will consult with
directors nominated by Clal with respect to Audit Committee actions and the
directors nominated by Clal will have the right to consent to certain changes
in the Company's accounting principles.     
 
  Clal designated Mr. Ben-Dor, a director of Clal and a vice president of Clal
Industries Ltd., as its representative to serve on the Board. Clal Industries
Ltd. owns all of Clal's stock. Mr. Ben-Dor has not been elected to any
committees of the Board at this time.

  The Board met seven times during fiscal 1994 which ended October 1, 1994.
During fiscal 1994, no incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the total
number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which he
or she served. The Audit Committee met three times during fiscal 1994. The
primary function of the Audit Committee is to review the Company's financial
statements with its auditors. See "--Directors." The Compensation and Stock
Option Committee held eight meetings during fiscal 1994. The functions of the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee are to set and approve salary and
bonus levels of corporate officers and to administer the Company's 1986 Stock
Option Plan and 1990 Stock Incentive Plan, including primary responsibility
for the granting of options and other awards thereunder. The Nominating
Committee met one time during fiscal 1994. The primary function of the
Nominating Committee is to make recommendations to the Board concerning the
selection of nominees for election as directors. The Nominating Committee will
consider candidates suggested by directors or shareholders. Nominations for
shareholders, properly submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company,
will be referred to the Nominating Committee for consideration. The Executive
Committee did not meet during fiscal 1994. The function of the Executive
Committee is to exercise the powers of the Board in the management of the
business and affairs of the Company, subject to limits imposed by applicable
law.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
  For service on the Board in fiscal year 1994, directors received 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. Commencing in fiscal year
1995, directors receive an annual retainer of $12,000. Directors also receive
a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Board attended, and a fee of $750 for each committee meeting attended, subject
to a maximum of $1,750 per day. Commencing in fiscal year 1995, chairmen of
committees receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000 per committee.
 
  Directors who are employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or who
are designated by Clal receive no additional remuneration for serving as
directors or as members of committees of the Board. All directors are entitled
to reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their
attendance at Board and committee meetings.
       
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
  In July 1993, the Company purchased a condominium for $415,000. Beginning on
September 15, 1993, the Company leased the condominium to Kenneth I. Sawyer,
the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, 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. In
February 1995, the Company purchased a condominium for $192,500. The Company
leases the condominium to Mr. Sawyer for a period equal to the term of his
employment agreement at $1,800 per month, which represents the fair market
value as determined by a disinterested third party. See "Executive
Compensation--Employment Agreements and Termination Arrangements."
   
  On May 1, 1995, the Company consummated a strategic alliance with Clal
consisting primarily of (i) the sale by the Company of 2,027,272 shares of the
Company's Common Stock for $20,000,000, or $9.87 per share, (ii) the issuance
by the Company of the Outstanding Warrant and (iii) the formation of a joint
venture, named Clal Pharmaceutical Resources (1995) L.P., to research and
develop generic pharmaceutical products (the "Joint Venture"). For a
description of the sale of shares, the issuance of the Outstanding Warrant and
the terms of the Joint Venture, see "Voting Securities and Principal
Shareholders--Voting Arrangements" and "Proposal II--Approval of the Grant and
Issuance to Clal of a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock--Background." Mony Ben-
Dor, a director of the Company, is also a director of Clal. See "--Directors."
Prior to the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Clal owned no shares of
the Common Stock.     
       
  The Company believes that all of the above transactions were on terms that
were fair and reasonable to the Company.

Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Robert I. Edinger as

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS
 
  The Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Sawyer, Mr.
Edinger, Mr. Fisher and Dr. Rose. Each of the employment agreements with Mr.
Sawyer and Mr. Edinger provides for the officer's employment in his 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. 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 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
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, 1993, until April
22, 1994, when the Company sold the residence for $415,000 with the express
approval of Mr. Sawyer. In February 1995, the Company purchased a condominium
unit for $192,500. Mr. Sawyer leases the unit for $1,800 per month. See
"Election of Directors--Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The
employment agreement with Mr. Sawyer grants him an option to purchase the
residence in certain circumstances.
 
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
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
normal form of benefit is a life annuity, or for married persons, a joint and
survivor annuity. None of the Named Executives have 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
"Compensation 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
Compensation Committee held eight meetings in fiscal 1994. In reviewing
overall compensation for fiscal 1994, the Compensation Committee focused on
the Company's objectives to attract executives of the highest caliber from
larger, well-established pharmaceutical manufacturers, retain the Company's
executives, 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 Compensation Committee considered 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 regulatory reviews of
the Company's operations, lawsuits asserted against it and its financial
condition.     
   
  BASE SALARY AND ANNUAL BONUS. Base salary and annual bonus for executive
officers are determined by reference to Company-wide and individual
performances for the previous fiscal year based upon financial and non-
financial criteria. The financial measures for 1994 were operating income
(before adjustments for legal settlements and other non-operational items),
sales and research and development expenditures. Non-financial measures
included both strategic and operational factors, such as successful removal of
the Company from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Application
Integrity Assessment Program, efforts in responding to other regulatory
matters, efforts in exploration of strategic alternatives for the Company,
research and development expenditures, review and implementation of updated
systems and operational procedures as a foundation for future growth and
realignment of the Company's internal sales and marketing organization. The
Compensation Committee placed the greatest weight on financial factors. In
addition to Company-wide measures of performance, the Compensation Committee
considers those performance factors particular to each executive officer,
including the performance of the area for which such officer had management
responsibility and individual accomplishments.     
   
  Base salaries for executives were determined primarily by reference to
industry norms, the principal job duties and responsibilities undertaken by
such persons, individual performance and other relevant criteria. Base salary
comparisons for most executives are made to a group of pharmaceutical
manufacturers in the United States. Such group is selected by the Company
based upon several factors including, but not limited to, the duties and
responsibilities of the executive used in the comparison, size and complexity
of operations, reputation and number of employees of other companies. With
respect to Mr. Sawyer, Chief Executive Officer, a comparison was made by an
independent consulting firm, prior to the signing of his employment agreement
in 1992, to generic pharmaceutical companies and turnaround situations
selected by the consulting firm. In keeping with its goal of recruiting
executives from larger, well-established pharmaceutical manufacturers, the
Compensation Committee considers the performance of the companies used in the
comparisons, as measured by their quality and regulatory profile, as well as
competitive necessity in determining base salaries. The Compensation Committee
considered it appropriate and in the best interest of the Company and its
shareholders to set the levels of base salary for the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and other executives at the median of comparable companies
in order to attract and retain the highest caliber of managers for the Company
so as to position the Company for future growth and improved performance. In
order to attract and retain certain key executives, the Company offers its
executives long-term employment contracts which provide for specified base
salaries.     
 
                                      11

  The Compensation Committee, in determining the annual bonuses to be paid to
its executives for fiscal 1994, considered the 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 financial performance measures used by the Compensation Committee in
determining annual bonuses were operating income (before adjustments for legal
settlements on other non-operational items) and sales. Bonuses were also based
upon assessments of each executive's participation and contribution to the
non-financial measures described above. The non-financial measures varied
among executives depending upon the operations under their management and
direction. Based upon the Company's regulatory and other concerns arising out
of the acts of its prior management, the Compensation Committee utilized the
award of bonuses, without necessarily referring to specific benchmarks, to
attract and retain high quality executives for the Company.     
 
  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 Compensation 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
Compensation 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.
   
  COMPENSATION COMMITTEE'S ACTIONS FOR 1994. In determining the amount and
form of executive compensation to be paid or awarded for fiscal 1994, the
Compensation Committee considered both the Company's overall financial
performance during the fiscal year and other criteria discussed above in this
report. In light of the reductions in operating income and sales in fiscal
1994 from fiscal 1993, the Compensation Committee significantly reduced the
annual bonuses of the Named Executives, including the Chief Executive Officer,
from the prior fiscal year. However, the Compensation Committee also took into
account the following strategic and operational factors, among others
described above, in awarding bonuses:     
     
    (i) the removal of the Company from the FDA's Application Integrity
  Assessment Program and efforts in responding to a warning letter from the
  FDA;     
     
    (ii) the settlement of several significant litigations against the
  Company;     
     
    (iii) positioning of the Company to explore strategic alternatives; and
         
    (iv) the negotiation and implementation of the distribution agreements
  with Genpharm, Inc. and The Generics Group B.V.     
          
  In fiscal 1994, the Compensation Committee also awarded stock options to
executives (including options to one Named Executive), extended the period in
which such options are exercisable for certain former key employees and
accelerated the vesting dates of previously awarded options for certain key
employees. The Compensation Committee granted stock options to Mr. Fisher, a
Named Executive, as part of the compensation package offered to attract him to
accept a position and remain with the Company.     
 
  CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION. The Compensation Committee approved an
employment agreement in October 1992 for Mr. Sawyer with the Company. In
approving such employment agreement, the Compensation 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 Compensation 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 Compensation
Committee recognized his substantial role in (i) settling three significant
lawsuits against the Company, (ii) negotiating and implementing
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
   
several joint venture agreements for the Company, (iii) improving the
manufacturing capacities of the Company, (iv) working to explore strategic
alternatives for the Company, (v) diversifying the Company's customer base and
(vi) successfully recruiting a new and expanded management team.     
 
  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 shareholder
approval of the compensation arrangement. The level of salaries and bonus to
the Named Executives paid by the Company do not exceed this limit at this
time.

                                 PROPOSAL II:
                APPROVAL OF THE GRANT AND ISSUANCE TO CLAL OF A
                       WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
 
GENERAL
   
  At the Meeting, the holders of Common Stock will be asked to approve the
grant and issuance to Clal of the Proposed Warrant. The Proposed Warrant is
intended to allow Clal to purchase an additional number of shares of Common
Stock (approximately 800,000 shares) which, when added to the shares of Common
Stock owned by Clal and issuable upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrant,
would represent 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the
date of issuance of the Proposed Warrant (including, for this purpose, the
shares of Common Stock covered by the Outstanding Warrant and the Proposed
Warrant).     
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
   
  The sole purpose of Proposal II is to satisfy the rules of New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE"). Such rules require the Company to obtain prior
shareholder approval of the issuance of securities (including, for this
purpose, warrants to purchase Common Stock) representing 20% or more of the
Common Stock issued and outstanding before the issuance of such securities.
For purposes of the NYSE rules, the Proposed Warrant, if issued at the time of
the issuance to Clal of 2,027,272 shares of Common Stock and the Outstanding
Warrant, would have represented more than 20% of the Common Stock then
outstanding. The Company is not seeking approval or ratification of the
issuance of the 2,027,272 shares of Common Stock and the Outstanding Warrant
or the other terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the related agreements
of which the Proposed Warrant may be deemed a part.     
   
  The purpose of the Stock Purchase Agreement was to allow Clal, through the
purchase of Common Stock and the exercise of warrants, to own 19.99% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of such Common Stock and the exercise of such warrants. As a result
of the requirements of the NYSE rules described above, the Company issued to
Clal on May 1, 1995, under the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Closing Date"),
shares of Common Stock and the Outstanding Warrants which represented the
maximum amount of securities issuable under the NYSE rules without shareholder
consent and the Company agreed to request consent from the Company's
shareholders to issue the Proposed Warrant. The Proposed Warrant, together
with the shares of Common Stock issued to Clal and the Outstanding Warrant,
would allow Clal to own shares of Common Stock representing 19.99% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the date of issuance of the Proposed
Warrant after giving effect to the exercise of the Outstanding Warrant and the
Proposed Warrant.     
   
  The Company's rights and obligations under the agreements described in "--
Background" will not be adversely affected if Proposal II is not approved by
the Company's shareholders. However, if the issuance of the Proposed Warrant
is approved, the exercise price of the Outstanding Warrant will be increased
by $1.00 per share to $11.00 per share for the first year and $12.00 per share
thereafter. In addition, certain stock ownership thresholds in the Stock
Purchase Agreement applicable to Clal's exercise of rights will be increased.
If the Proposed Warrant is issued and exercised, the voting agreement
described below would apply to the shares issued upon its exercise.     
   
  THE BOARD RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED WARRANT BY THE HOLDERS OF
COMMON STOCK.     
   
BACKGROUND     
   
  Prior to completing the agreements with Clal, the Company investigated
several strategic alternatives to strengthen the Company's finances,
operations, product line and distribution capabilities. The investigation
culminated with the closing on May 1, 1995, of the strategic alliance with
Clal, consisting primarily of the sale of 2,027,272 shares of Common Stock,
the issuance by the Company of the Outstanding Warrant and the formation of a
joint venture, named Clal Pharmaceutical Resources (1995) L.P., to research
and develop generic pharmaceutical products. Clal is a pharmaceutical company
located in Israel and a subsidiary of Clal Industries, Ltd., an Israeli
industrial company.     
          
  Stock Purchase Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Company sold to Clal
2,027,272 shares of Common Stock for $20,000,000 or $9.87 per share pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement also included
terms of the Company's and Clal's business relationship including the
obligation to issue the Outstanding Warrant, rights to nominate board members,
rights of first refusal, voting agreements, rights to invest in others,
standstill agreements and agreements relating to the issuance of the
Outstanding Warrant and the agreement to seek shareholder approval for the
Proposed Warrant.     
   
  Board Representation. Clal obtained the right to designate one-seventh of
the members of the Company's Board of Directors as long as Clal owns 8% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock, and a total of two-sevenths of the
members of the Board if Clal owns at least 14% (or, upon issuance of the
Proposed Warrant, 16%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. In
addition, Clal has the right under the Stock Purchase     
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
   
Agreement to designate a member of the Company's management. The Company
agreed to elect Clal's designee to the Audit Committee, Compensation and Stock
Option Committee and Executive Committee of the Board, except in certain
circumstances. See "Election of Directors--Directors."     
   
  Right of First Refusal and Voting Agreements. Clal has a right of first
refusal with respect to certain business combination transactions of the
Company and certain sales of the assets or securities of the Company. Such
right extends for a period of five years from the Closing Date, provided that
Clal, when exercising such right (i) has not sold or disposed of shares of
Common Stock representing more than 337,045 shares of Common Stock and (ii)
owns or has the right to acquire under the Outstanding Warrant 14% (or, upon
issuance of the Proposed Warrant, 16%) of the Common Stock (the "Restricted
Period"). If Clal does not exercise its first refusal rights with respect to
any of the above-mentioned transactions, Clal will, subject to certain
exceptions, be required to vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of such
transactions. Such obligation will terminate upon the expiration of the
Restricted Period. Clal has no obligation to vote its shares of Common Stock
in favor of such a transaction if (i) Clal exercises its right of first
refusal with respect to such transaction, (ii) less than 75% of the members of
the Board (excluding member(s) of the Board nominated by Clal) votes against
the transaction or (iii) any member of the Board (excluding member(s) of the
Board nominated by Clal) vote against the transaction. In the event that Clal
has an obligation to vote its shares in favor of such a transaction, Clal also
has agreed to take such other actions reasonably required or appropriate to
facilitate the consummation of the transaction. Clal has no obligation to vote
its shares in favor of, or take other actions to facilitate, any such
transaction if Clal notifies the Company that, in Clal's opinion, the
consummation of such a transaction would be detrimental to the Company and/or
its shareholders, except if the Company, in response to such a notice,
delivers to Clal a fairness opinion from a nationally recognized investment
banking firm.     
   
  Participation in Business Opportunities. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Company obtained the right to participate with Clal and certain of its
affiliates in connection with pharmaceutical acquisitions and transactions. In
connection therewith, Clal has agreed to use reasonable efforts to cause Fine-
Tech Ltd., an Israeli pharmaceutical research and development company in which
Clal owns an interest, to sell 10% of its shares to the Company for
$1,000,000, to grant the Company the right to nominate one member to the board
of directors of Fine-Tech Ltd. and to grant the Company distribution rights
for products sold by Fine-Tech Ltd. Mony Ben-Dor, a director of the Company,
is also a director of Fine-Tech Ltd. See "Election of Directors--Directors."
       
  Limits on Stock Acquisitions and Sales. Clal has agreed to limit
acquisitions, including acquisitions under the Outstanding Warrant and the
Proposed Warrant, of the Company's securities to 19.99% of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
In addition, Clal has agreed to limit such acquisitions to 25% of the issued
and outstanding Common Stock after the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
Clal has the right to tender for or purchase no less than 70% of the issued
and outstanding Common Stock after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
These limitations expire six months following the expiration of the Restricted
Period (the "Consent Period"). Clal also has the right to acquire up to 20% of
any equity securities issued by the Company in an underwritten public offering
so long as Clal, at the time, owns 10% of the issued and outstanding common
Stock (assuming, for this purpose, the full exercise of the Outstanding
Warrant and the Proposed Warrant). Clal has also agreed to not sell or
otherwise dispose of Common Stock or other securities convertible into Common
Stock during the Consent Period unless such securities are registered or may
be sold without registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933 or are sold in certain business combination transactions, or
unless the sale is approved by the Board (excluding member(s) of the Board
nominated by Clal). Clal will limit, during the Consent Period, sales of
Common Stock to any one person, entity or group to no more than 3% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock, except as otherwise permitted under the
Stock Purchase Agreement.     
   
  Outstanding Warrant. In consideration of the rights and benefits obtained by
the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Clal the
Outstanding Warrant on the Closing Date. The Outstanding Warrant entitles Clal
to purchase up to 936,282 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$10.00 per share     
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
   
for the first year and $11.00 per share for the next two years. The exercise
prices for the Outstanding Warrant were greater than the purchase price for
the shares of Common Stock purchased at the Closing and the then market price
for shares of Common Stock.     
   
  The Outstanding Warrant is exercisable at any time until May 1, 1998,
subject to earlier termination or redemption in certain circumstances. The
Company may redeem the Outstanding Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time
after December 1, 1995, at a redemption price of $.01 per share if the average
of the closing sale prices per share of the Common Stock equals or exceeds
$17.00 per share until May 1, 1996 and $18.00 per share thereafter. In
addition, the Company has the right to redeem the Outstanding Warrant, in
whole or in part, at anytime after Clal holds less than 8% of the Common
Stock. The Outstanding Warrant expires on May 1, 1997, if the Company's net
income for the fiscal year ending September 28, 1996, exceeds $5,000,000,
subject to certain adjustments.     
   
  The Outstanding Warrant provides that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon its exercise will be reduced by the number of shares of Common
Stock, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into,
shares of Common Stock acquired by Clal in open market transactions. Any such
reduction will be first applied against the Outstanding Warrant and then
against the Proposed Warrant, if issued, should there remain no further shares
issuable upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrant.     
   
  The Outstanding Warrant contains provisions that protect the holder against
dilution by adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares issuable
upon its exercise in certain events, such as stock dividends, stock splits,
mergers, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. The holder
of the Outstanding Warrant does not have any rights as a shareholder of the
Company unless and until the Outstanding Warrant is exercised.     
   
  Registration Rights Agreement. In consideration of the rights and benefits
obtained by the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company
granted to Clal certain registration rights under the Registration Rights
Agreement, dated the Closing Date (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). In
general, Clal will not be able to freely sell the shares of Common Stock
purchased by Clal or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Outstanding Warrant or the Proposed Warrant without registration under
applicable securities laws or unless an exemption from registration is
available. The intent of the Registration Rights Agreement was to grant rights
to Clal for the registration of its shares of Common Stock so that it may
freely dispose of such shares.     
   
  Clal is entitled to two demand registrations of shares of Common Stock owned
by Clal and one additional demand registration if the Outstanding Warrant or
the Proposed Warrant is exercised. In addition, the Company granted to Clal
the right to register shares of Common Stock owned by Clal on each occasion
that the Company registers shares of Common Stock, subject to certain
limitations and exceptions.     
   
  Clal has agreed under the Registration Rights Agreement to limit, during the
Consent Period, any sales of Common Stock registered under such Agreement to
any one person, entity or group to no more than 3% of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock. Clal also agreed to not sell publicly, make any
short sale or grant any option for the purchase or otherwise publicly dispose
of shares of Common Stock in the same period during which directors and
executive officers of the Company are similarly limited in selling the
Company's securities up to 180 days after the effective date of the
registration statement.     
   
  Limited Partnership Agreements. As part of the alliance formed by the
Company and Clal on the Closing Date, the Company and Clal formed Clal
Pharmaceutical Resources (1995) L.P., a limited partnership formed under the
laws of the State of Israel (the "Limited Partnership"), to research and
develop generic pharmaceutical products. Under the Agreement of Limited
Partnership of Clal Pharmaceutical Resources (1995) L.P. and other related
agreements (collectively, the "Limited Partnership Agreements"), the Company
and Clal, through their affiliates, funded the Limited Partnership in the
amount of $1,960,000 and $2,040,000, respectively. The Limited     
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
   
Partnership is owned 49% by the Company and 51% by Clal and is located
primarily in Israel. Over the next two years, the Company and Clal plan to
invest an additional $11,000,000 in the Limited Partnership, 49% of which
($5,390,000) is to be funded by the Company. The Limited Partnership is
managed by its sole general partner which is owned 49% by the Company and 51%
by Clal. The general partner has a board of six directors, half of which were
appointed by each of the Company and Clal. Under the Limited Partnership
Agreements, the Company and Clal have granted the other certain manufacturing
and distribution rights for products developed by each other and for products
developed by the Limited Partnership.     
   
  The foregoing descriptions of certain terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Outstanding Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Limited
Partnership Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to such documents, copies of which were filed as
exhibits to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 12, 1995.     
          
TERMS OF THE PROPOSED WARRANT     
   
  The following is a summary of the terms of the Proposed Warrant. The
Proposed Warrant is substantially similar to the Outstanding Warrant described
above.     
 
  The Proposed Warrant will be titled the "Warrant to Purchase Common Stock."
The Proposed Warrant is intended to allow Clal to purchase an additional
number of shares of Common Stock (approximately 740,000 shares) which, when
added to the shares of Common Stock owned by Clal and issuable upon exercise
of the Outstanding Warrant, would represent 19.99% of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock as of the date of issuance of the Proposed Warrant
(including, for this purpose, the shares of Common Stock covered by the
Outstanding Warrant and the Proposed Warrant). Accordingly, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Proposed Warrant cannot
be determined until immediately before the Proposed Warrant is issued. The
Proposed Warrant will provide for an exercise price of $11.00 per share for
the first year and $12.00 per share for the two years thereafter. The Proposed
Warrant will be exercisable at any time until May 1, 1998, subject to earlier
termination or redemption in certain circumstances.
 
  The Company may redeem the Proposed Warrant, in whole or in part, at any
time after December 1, 1995, at a redemption price of $.01 per share if the
average of the closing sale prices per share of the Common Stock equals or
exceeds $17.00 per share until May 1, 1996 and $18.00 per share thereafter. In
addition, the Company has the right to redeem the Proposed Warrant, in whole
or in part, at any time after Clal holds less than 8% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Proposed Warrant will expire on May 1,
1997 if the Company's net income for the fiscal year ending September 28,
1996, exceeds $5,00,000, subject to certain adjustments.
 
  The Proposed Warrant will provide that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon its exercise will be reduced by the number of shares of Common
Stock, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into,
shares of Common Stock acquired by Clal in open market transactions. Any such
reduction will be first applied against the Outstanding Warrant and then
against the Proposed Warrant if there remain no further shares issuable upon
exercise of the Outstanding Warrant.
   
  Neither the Proposed Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Proposed Warrant will be registered or publicly traded, except
for those shares of Common Stock to be registered pursuant to the exercise of
Clal's registration rights. Clal has certain demand and piggy-back
registration rights respecting shares issued upon exercise of the Proposed
Warrants. See "--Background--Registration Rights Agreement."     
 
  The Proposed Warrant will contain provisions that will protect the holder
thereof against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price and the number of
shares issuable upon its exercise in certain events, such as
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, sale of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets. The holder of the Proposed Warrant will not have any
rights as a shareholder of the Company unless and until the Proposed Warrant
is exercised. The issuance of the Proposed Warrant is not expected to have any
significant effect upon the rights of existing securityholders.
   
  The terms of the Proposed Warrant, including the exercise prices, were
determined through arm's length negotiation of the Company and Clal. The
Company does not believe that the issuance of the Proposed Warrant, together
with the prior issuance of the shares of Common Stock to Clal and the
Outstanding Warrant (including the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of such Warrant), will be deemed to be a change in control in respect
of the Company. The Company expects to use the proceeds received from the
exercise of the Proposed Warrant for working capital purposes.     
 
  The Company believes the grant and issuance of the Proposed Warrant is in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote
thereon who are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy is required for
approval of the grant and issuance of the Proposed Warrant.
 
  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF
PROPOSAL II.
 
                                 PROPOSAL III:
                 APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
                           1990 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
GENERAL
   
  At the Meeting, the holders of Common Stock will be asked to vote upon a
proposal to approve an amendment to the Company's 1990 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "1990 Plan") to increase by 500,000 the number of shares of Common Stock
for which incentive awards may be granted thereunder. Under the 1990 Plan as
currently in effect, incentive awards for 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock may
be granted, of which, prior to June 23, 1995, 90,538 shares remained available
for grant. On June 16, 1995, the Board approved the amendment and authorized
the granting of incentive awards for an additional 350,000 shares, subject to
approval of the amendment by the shareholders. The Board has determined that
it is advisable to continue to provide stock-based incentive compensation to
the Company's officers and key employees, thereby continuing to align the
interests of such employees with those of shareholders, and that awards under
the 1990 Plan are an effective means of providing such compensation. In order
to continue to grant stock-based incentive compensation in the future, it is
necessary to increase the number of shares available for grant under the 1990
Plan. The Board recommends approval of thereof by the holders of Common Stock.
    
SUMMARY OF 1990 PLAN AND AMENDMENT
 
  The following is a summary of the 1990 Plan and the proposed amendment to
it. This summary does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the text of the 1990 Plan. A copy of the 1990 Plan is
available upon written request from the Company's Secretary.
   
  The purpose of the 1990 Plan is to attract and retain personnel of the
highest caliber, provide increased incentive for officers and key employees
and continue to promote the well-being of the Company. The 1990 Plan
authorizes the granting of incentive awards for up to 1,700,000 shares of
Common Stock, and if the amendment is approved, up to an additional 350,000
shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits,
stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, reorganizations, exchanges of
shares and other similar changes affecting the Company's issued Common Stock.
Incentive awards may be in the form of stock options,     
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
restricted stock awards, deferred stock awards, stock appreciation rights and
other stock-based awards as described below. Unless sooner terminated, the
1990 Plan expires on March 22, 2000. Officers, key employees and other
independent contractors who perform services for the Company or any of its
subsidiaries are eligible to receive incentive awards. The 1990 Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee, which determines the persons to
whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted and the
specific terms of each grant, subject to the provisions of the 1990 Plan.
Members of the Compensation Committee and directors of the Company who are not
also employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are not eligible to
receive incentive awards under the 1990 Plan. There are approximately 450
persons eligible to receive incentive awards under the 1990 Plan (excluding
consultants and advisors).
 
  INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED OPTIONS. The 1990 Plan currently provides both
for "incentive stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the Code and for
options not qualifying as incentive options (collectively, "Options"), both of
which may be granted with other stock-based awards available under the 1990
Plan. The Compensation Committee determines the persons to whom Options may be
granted and the exercise price for each share issued in connection with an
Option, but the exercise price of an incentive Option may not be less than
100% of the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant (in the
case of an optionee owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, not
less than 110% of such fair market value). The Compensation Committee also
determines when Options may be exercised, which in no event may be more than
ten years from the date of grant (in the case of an incentive Option granted
to an optionee owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, not more
than five years from the date of grant), and the manner in which each Option
will become exercisable. The aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock
with respect to which incentive Options are exercisable for the first time by
any employee during any calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans
of the Company and its subsidiaries) may not exceed $100,000.
 
  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Compensation Committee may grant stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") in conjunction with all or part of any Option
granted under the 1990 Plan. An SAR entitles the holder to surrender to the
Company all or a portion of an Option in exchange for an amount (payable in
cash and/or Common Stock) equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value (as
defined in that 1990 Plan) of one share of Common Stock over the exercise
price per share specified in a related Option granted to the holder multiplied
by the number of shares subject to the SAR.
 
  RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. The Compensation Committee may award shares of
restricted stock ("Restricted Stock"). Shares of Restricted Stock may be
issued either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the 1990 Plan
or other plans of the Company. The Compensation Committee determines the
eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted
Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to
be paid by the recipient, the time or times within which such awards may be
subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration
thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the awards.
 
  DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS. The Compensation Committee may award shares of
deferred stock ("Deferred Stock"). Shares of Deferred Stock may be awarded
either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the 1990 Plan or
other plans of the Company. The Compensation Committee determines the eligible
persons to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Stock may be awarded,
the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the
duration of the period during which, and the conditions under which, receipt
of the stock will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the
awards.
 
  OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Compensation Committee may grant performance
shares valued with reference to the performance of the Company or any
subsidiary, either alone or in addition to or in tandem with Options, SARs,
Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock (collectively, "Other Stock-Based Awards").
Subject to the terms of the 1990 Plan, the Compensation Committee has complete
discretion to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Other Stock-
Based Awards. Such terms and conditions may require, among other things,
continued employment and/or the attainment of specified performance
objectives.
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
  The 1990 Plan imposes restrictions on the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment
or other encumbrance on shares of stock subject to Restricted Stock awards,
Defaulted Stock awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. Upon a change in control
of the Company, all Options and SARs become exercisable in full and all
restrictions and deferrals contained in Restricted Stock awards, Deferred
Stock awards, and Other Stock-Based Awards lapse or become accelerated.
 
  The amended, 1990 Plan will not provide additional benefits to the Named
Executives as compared to the current 1990 Plan in effect. Rather, the amended
1990 Plan will provide for an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
which may be granted thereunder.
 
CERTAIN FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE 1990 PLAN
 
  The following is a brief summary of certain Federal income tax aspects of
options to be granted under the 1990 Plan based upon the Code and other
statutes, regulations and interpretations in effect on the date of this Proxy
Statement. The summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not describe
any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences.
 
  INCENTIVE OPTIONS. A participant will recognize no taxable income upon the
grant or exercise of an Option constituting an "incentive stock option" as
defined under Section 422 of the Code ("Incentive Options"). Upon a
disposition of the shares of Common Stock after the later of two years from
the date of grant and one year after the transfer of the shares to the
participant, (i) the participant will recognize the difference, if any,
between the amount realized and the exercise price as long-term capital gain
or long-term capital loss (as the case may be) if the shares are capital
assets; and (ii) the Company will not qualify for any deduction in connection
with the grant or exercise of the options.
 
  If shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Option
are disposed of prior to the expiration of the holding periods described
above, (i) the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in the
taxable year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the
amount realized on the disposition of the shares, over the exercise price paid
for such shares; and (ii) the Company will qualify for a deduction equal to
any such amount recognized, subject to the limitation that the compensation be
reasonable. The participant will recognize the excess, if any, of the amount
realized over the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, if
the shares are capital assets, as capital gain and the Company will not
qualify for a deduction with respect to such excess.
 
  NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. Except as noted below, (i) upon grant of the
nonqualified Option, a plan participant will recognize no income; (ii) upon
exercise of the option (if the shares of Common Stock are not subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture and nontransferable), the participant will
recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the
exercise price, and the Company will qualify for a deduction in the same
amount, subject to the requirement that the compensation be reasonable; and
(iii) on a sale of the shares, the participant will recognize gain or loss
equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the sum of
the exercise price and the ordinary compensation income recognized. Such gain
or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital
assets in the hands of the participant.
 
  If the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of a nonqualified
Option are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and are
nontransferable, the participant's and the Company's Federal income tax
consequences of the exercise and disposition of the shares will be determined
under rules similar to those set forth below under "Restricted Stock."
 
  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A participant who receives a SAR will recognize
no income on the grant of such SAR, but he will recognize ordinary
compensation income equal to the cash received and/or the fair market
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
value on the date of transfer of any Common Stock received, and the Company
will qualify for a deduction of an equal amount, subject to the limitation
that compensation be reasonable.
 
  RESTRICTED STOCK. A participant who receives Restricted Stock will recognize
ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
fair market value of the Restricted Stock at the time the Restricted Stock is
no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or is transferable, over
the consideration paid for the Restricted Stock. However, a participant may
elect, under Section 83(b) of the Code, within thirty days of the transfer of
the Restricted Stock, to recognize ordinary compensation income on the date of
transfer in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on
the date of such transfer of the shares of Restricted Stock (determined
without regard to the restrictions) over the consideration paid for the
Restricted Stock.
 
  Whether or not the participant makes an election under Section 83(b), the
Company generally will qualify for a deduction (subject to the reasonable)
equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary income to the participant, in
its taxable year in which or with which ends the taxable year of the
participant in which such income is included as gross income. In addition, if
the Restricted Stock was granted pursuant to an agreement entered into after
February 17, 1993 (or an agreement entered into on or before February 17,
1993, which was materially modified after such date), the Company's ability to
claim a compensation deduction may be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code
which limits the amount a corporation can deduct as compensation with respect
to certain key executives to $1 million per year.
 
  DEFERRED STOCK. A participant who receives an award of Deferred Stock will
recognize no income on the grant of such award. However, he will recognize
ordinary compensation income and the Company will be able to claim a
corresponding deduction (subject to the limitation that compensation be
reasonable and Section 162(m) described above) on the transfer of the Deferred
Stock (or the later lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture to which the
Deferred Stock is subject, if the participant does not make a Section 83(b)
election), in accordance with the same rules as discussed above under
"Restricted Stock".
 
  OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARD. The Federal income tax treatment of Other Stock-
Based Awards will depend upon the nature of any such award and the
restrictions applicable to such award. Such an award may, depending on the
nature of and conditions applicable to the award, be taxable as a stock option
or an award of Restricted Stock.
 
  The Company believes the amendment to the 1990 Plan is in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders. The affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon who are present
at the Meeting in person or by proxy is required for approval of the amendment
to the 1990 Plan.
 
  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF
PROPOSAL III.
 
                                 PROPOSAL IV:
          APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL RESOURCES, INC.
                       1995 DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
GENERAL
 
  At the Meeting, the holders of Common Stock will be asked to vote upon a
proposal to approve and adopt the Company's 1995 Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "Directors' Plan"). On June 16, 1995, the Board approved the Directors'
Plan effective June 16, 1995, subject to the approval and adoption of the
Directors' Plan by the shareholders of the Company not later than June 19,
1996. The purpose of the Directors' Plan is to advance the interests of the
Company by affording eligible directors an opportunity to acquire or increase
their proprietary interests in the Company and, thus, the Directors' Plan
encourages continued service and provides additional incentive to achieve the
Company's growth objectives. The Directors' Plan will award options to non-
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
employee directors who may be elected in the future. Current directors will
obtain no future awards under the Directors' Plan if adopted by the Company's
shareholders. The approval of the Directors' Plan will have no effect upon the
Company's 1989 Directors' Stock Option Plan. The Board recommends approval
thereof by the holders of Common Stock.
 
SUMMARY OF DIRECTORS' PLAN
 
  The following is a summary of the Directors' Plan. This summary does not
purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
text of the Directors' Plan. A copy of the Directors' Plan is available upon
written request from the Company's Secretary at no charge.
 
  The Company has reserved for issuance under the Directors' Plan 100,000
shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the Directors' Plan may only be
granted to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or
otherwise eligible to receive options under any other plan adopted by the
company or who are not directors of the Company on June 19, 1995 (each, an
"Eligible Director"). There are no Eligible Directors currently. Such options
do not qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code.
 
  If an unexercised option expires or terminates (in whole or in part) for any
reason, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of the option will be
available for future grants of options under the Directors' Plan. The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as to which options may be granted,
the number of shares covered by each option and the option exercise price will
be adjusted in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other capital
adjustments. The closing price of a share of Common Stock on the New York
Stock Exchange on June 23, 1995 was $10.125.
 
  Directors are granted options on the date an Eligible Director is initially
elected to the Board. One-third of the options granted under the Directors'
Plan will become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the
date of grant, provided that the Eligible Director owns 1,500 shares of Common
Stock immediately after the exercise of the option if the option is exercised
prior to the second anniversary of its date of grant, 3,000 shares of Common
Stock immediately after the exercise of the option if the option is exercised
on or after the second anniversary of its date of grant but before the third
anniversary, and 4,500 shares of Common Stock immediately after the exercise
of the option if the option is exercised on or after the third anniversary of
the date of grant. All options which have not become exercisable on the date
an Eligible Director ceases to serve on the Board for any reason will
terminate. To the extent options granted under the Directors' Plan become
exercisable, such options remain exercisable until the tenth anniversary of
the date of grant and remain exercisable regardless of whether the Eligible
Director continues to serve as a member of the Board.
 
  Pursuant to its terms, the Directors' Plan is scheduled to terminate on June
16, 2005, and no options will be granted after that date. The provisions of
the Directors' Plan, however, will continue thereafter to govern all options
previously granted, until the exercise, expiration or cancellation thereof.
The Board may, however, terminate the Directors' Plan at an earlier date and
may modify or amend the Directors' Plan from time to time, except that,
without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, no such modification
or amendment may increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which options may be granted under the Directors' Plan, change the
exercise price at which options may be granted, or change the eligibility
provisions of the Directors' Plan. No termination of or modification or
amendment to the Directors' Plan will adversely affect the rights of any
person holding an option previously granted under the Directors' Plan without
the consent of such person.
 
  No option is transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the
Code and no option may be exercised by anyone other than the optionee, except
that if the optionee dies or becomes incapacitated, the option may be
exercised by the optionee's estate, legal representative or beneficiary,
subject to all the other terms of the Directors' Plan.
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
  There are no present directors of the Company who are eligible to receive
options under the Directors' Plan. The benefits to be received by future
directors who will be Eligible Directors cannot be determined at this time.
 
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
  The following is a brief summary of certain Federal income tax aspects of
stock options to be granted under the Directors' Plan based upon the Code and
other statutes, regulations and interpretations in effect on the date of this
Proxy Statement. The summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not
include state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences.
 
  Any option granted under the Directors' Plan is not intended to qualify as
an "incentive stock option", as that term is defined in Section 422 of the
Code. Neither the option holder nor the Company will incur any Federal income
tax consequences upon the grant of an option under the Directors' Plan.
Generally, the option holder will recognize, on the date of exercise, ordinary
compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the
exercise price thereof.
 
  On a subsequent sale of any shares obtained upon the exercise of an option,
the participant will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference,
if any, between the amount realized and his or her tax basis in the shares.
Such capital gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the sale
occurs more than one year after the date of exercise and a short-term capital
gain or loss if the sale occurs one year or less after the date of exercise.
The tax basis of the shares, for purposes of computing taxable gain or loss,
will be the sum of the exercise price and the amount of ordinary income
recognized on the date of exercise.
 
  For Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally entitled to a
deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary compensation income recognized by
the option holder, to the extent that such income is considered reasonable
compensation under the Code. Generally, the Company will be entitled to claim
such deduction in the fiscal year containing the last day of the calendar year
in which the option is exercised.
 
  The Company believes the amendment to the Directors' Plan is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon
who are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy is required for approval
of the amendment to the Directors' Plan.
 
  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF
PROPOSAL IV.
 
                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
  The Board has selected the firm of Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP,
independent certified public accountants, to act as independent public
accountants for the Company for the 1995 fiscal year. Richard A. Eisner &
Company, LLP has acted in such capacity for each of the Company's and Par's
fiscal years since the fiscal year ended September 30, 1981. A representative
of Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP is expected to be present at the Meeting,
such representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she
so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
  At the date of this proxy statement, the Board has no knowledge of any
business which will be presented for consideration at the Meeting, other than
as described above. If any other matter or matters are properly brought before
the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof, it is the intention of the persons
named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote proxies on such matters in
accordance with their best judgment.

Section 2.  Administration.

     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, the membership of which
shall be at all times constituted so as to not adversely affect the compliance
of the Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as in effect from time to time, or with the
requirements of any other applicable law, rule or regulation.

     The Committee shall have full authority to grant, pursuant to the terms of
the Plan, to officers, other employees and Agents under Section 4 below: (i)
Stock Options, (ii) Stock Appreciation Rights, (iii) Restricted Stock, (iv)
Deferred Stock, and/or (v) Other Stock-Based Awards.

     For purposes of illustration and not of limitation, the Committee shall
have the authority (subject to the express provisions of this Plan):

     (i)    to select the officers, other employees and Agents of the Company
or any Subsidiary to whom Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted
Stock, Deferred Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards may from time to time be
granted hereunder;

     (ii)   to determine the Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock and/or
Other Stock-Based Awards, or any combination thereof, if any, to be granted
hereunder to one or more officers, other employees and Agents;

     (iii)  to determine the number of shares to be covered by each award
granted hereunder;

     (iv)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the
terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited
to, share price, any restrictions or limitations, and any vesting, acceleration
or forfeiture provisions, as the Committee shall determine);

     (v)    to determine the terms and conditions under which awards granted
hereunder are to operate on a tandem basis and/or in conjunction with or apart
from other awards made by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of this Plan;

     (vi)   to determine the extent and circumstances under which Stock and
other amounts payable with respect to an award hereunder shall be deferred,
which may be either automatic or at the election of the participant; and

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     (vii)  to substitute (A) new Stock Options for previously granted Stock
Options, which previously granted Stock Options have higher option exercise
prices and/or contain other less favorable terms, and (B) new awards of any
other type for previously granted awards of the same type, which previously
granted awards are upon less favorable terms.
     
     Subject to Section 11 hereof, the Committee shall have the authority to
adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices
governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable, to interpret
the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to
determine the form and substance of all agreements relating thereto), and to
otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

     Subject to Section 11 hereof, all decisions made by the Committee
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Committee's sole
discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the
Company, its Subsidiaries and Plan participants.

Section 3.  Stock Subject to Plan.
    
     The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for
distribution under the Plan shall be 2,050,000 shares. Such shares may consist,
in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.     

     If any shares of Stock that have been optioned cease to be subject to a
Stock Option, or if any shares of Stock that are subject to any Stock
Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock award or Other Stock-Based
Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates
without a payment being made to the participant in the form of cash and/or
Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with
future grants and awards under the Plan.

     In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, dividend (other than a dividend or its equivalent which is
credited to a Plan participant or a regular cash dividend), Stock split, or
other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or
adjustment shall be made in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance
under the Plan, in the number and option price of shares subject to outstanding
Options granted under the Plan, and in the number of shares subject to other
outstanding awards (including but not limited to awards of Restricted Stock,
Deferred Stock and Other Stock-Based Awards) granted under the Plan as may be
determined to be appropriate by the Committee in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of rights, provided that the number of shares subject to any award
shall always be a whole number. Such adjusted option price shall also be used to
determine the amount payable by the Company upon the exercise of any Stock
Appreciation Right associated with any Stock Option.

                                       4

Section 4.  Eligibility.

     Officers and other employees of the Company or any Subsidiary (but
excluding members of the Committee and any person who serves only as a director)
who are at the time of the grant of an award under this Plan regularly employed
by the Company or any Subsidiary on a full-time basis and who are responsible
for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business
of the Company or any Subsidiary, are eligible to be granted Options and awards
under the Plan.  Eligibility under the Plan for such officers and other
employees, and Agents, shall be determined by the Committee.

Section 5.  Stock Options.

     (a)    Grant and Exercise. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of
two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any
Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms as the Committee
may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant
to any optionee Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both
types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights),
which may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted by the
Company. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

     Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan
relating to Incentive Stock Options or any agreement providing for Incentive
Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion
or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the
Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the optionee(s)
affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.

     (b)    Terms and Conditions. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions:

     (i)    Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable
under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant
but shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value at the time of grant
(110%, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee ("10%
Stockholder") who, at the time of grant, owns Stock possessing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its
parent (if any) or subsidiary corporations, as those terms are defined in
Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code). 

     (ii)   Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten
years (five years, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10%
Stockholder) after the date

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
on which the Option is granted, and no Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be
exercisable more than ten years and one day after the date on which the Option
is granted.

     (iii)  Exercisability.  Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time
or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the
Committee.  If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option
is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may waive such installment
exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in
part, based upon such factors as the Committee shall determine.

     (iv)   Method of Exercise.  Subject to whatever installment, exercise and
waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may
be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving
written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of
Stock to be purchased.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of
the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, unless otherwise provided in the
Stock Option agreement referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below, in whole shares
of Stock which are already owned by the holder of the Option or, unless
otherwise provided in the Stock Option agreement referred to in Section
5(b)(xii) below, partly in cash and partly in such Stock.  Cash payments shall
be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each
case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Stock with respect
to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of
good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof.  Payments in
the form of Stock (which shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the date of exercise) shall be made by delivery of stock certificates
in negotiable form which are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto
to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances.  The holder of an Option
shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares
subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the holder upon
the exercise of the Option.  At the discretion of the Board or the Committee, as
the case may be, an Option may be exercised with respect to a specified number
of shares of Stock by written notice of exercise to the Company stating that (i)
the option price for the shares and any withholding tax due thereon will be paid
to the Company directly by a broker-dealer designated by the optionee and
irrevocable instructions to such effect have been furnished by the optionee to
such broker-dealer; and (ii) an advice from the broker-dealer confirming payment
to the Company will be promptly delivered to the Company.  The exercise of any
such option shall be irrevocable at the time of notice to the Company; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for
shares of Stock with respect to the exercise of the option until the Company has
confirmed the receipt of good and sufficient funds in payment of the purchase
price thereof.

     (v)    Transferability; Exercisability.  No Stock Option shall be
transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, by the laws of descent and
distribution or by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and all Stock Options
shall be exercisable, during the optionee's

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
lifetime, only by the optionee or by his spouse to whom the Option has been
transferred pursuant to the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

     (vi)   Termination by Reason of Death.  Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below,
in the event of the death of an optionee, any Stock Option held by such
optionee, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shall be exercisable by
the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the optionee under
the will of the optionee, for a period of one year (or such other period as the
Committee may specify) from the date of such death or until the expiration of
the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter, to the
extent such Stock Option was exercisable at the time of death.

     (vii)  Termination by Reason of Disability of Employee Optionee.  Subject
to Section 5(b)(x) below, any Stock Options held by an optionee who is an
officer or employee and whose employment by the Company or any Subsidiary
terminates by reason of Disability, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, shall be exercisable by the optionee for a period of one year (or
such other period as the Committee may specify) from the date of such
termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such
Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter, to the extent such Stock Option
was exercisable at the time of such disability; provided, however, that if the
optionee dies within such one-year period (or such other period as the Committee
shall specify), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall
thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time
of death for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the
expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the
shorter.

     (viii) Termination by Reason of Retirement of Employee Optionee.
Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, any Stock Options held by an optionee who is
an officer or employee and whose employment by the Company or a Subsidiary
terminates by reason of Normal Retirement, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, shall be exercisable by the optionee for a period of one year (or
such other period as the Committee may specify) from the date of such
termination of employment or the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Option, whichever period is the shorter, to the extent such Stock Option was
exercisable at the time of such Normal Retirement; provided, however, that if
the optionee dies within such one-year period, any unexercised Stock Option held
by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which it was
exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year from the date of such
death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever
period is the shorter.  If an optionee's employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary terminates by reason of Early Retirement, the Stock Option shall
thereupon terminate, provided if the Committee so approves at the time of Early
Retirement, any Stock Option held by the optionee shall be fully vested and may
thereafter be exercised by the optionee as provided above in connection with
termination of employment by reason of Normal Retirement.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     (ix)   Other Termination of Employment of Employee Optionee.  Subject to
the provisions of Section 13(g) below and unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, if an optionee who is an officer or employee whose employment by the
Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability
or Retirement, any Stock Options held by him shall thereupon automatically
terminate, except that if the optionee's employment is involuntarily terminated
by the Company or a Subsidiary, without cause, such Stock Option may be
exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment or the
balance of such Stock Option's term.

     (x)    Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation.  In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the amount of Stock (determined at the time of grant of
the Option using the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of such date) with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
an optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of optionee's
employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations, as defined in
Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000.

     (xi)   Buy out and Settlement Provisions.  The Committee may at any time
offer to buy out a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and
conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the optionee at
the time that such offer is made.
     
     (xii)  Stock Option Agreement.  Each grant of a Stock Option shall be
confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the
Company and the participant.

Section 6. Stock Appreciation Rights.

     (a)    Grant and Exercise.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in
conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted by the Company.  In the
case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or
after the time of the grant of such Non-Qualified Stock Option.  In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the
grant of such Incentive Stock Option.

     A Stock Appreciation Right which is granted with respect to a given Stock
Option shall terminate and shall no longer be exercisable upon the termination
or exercise of the related Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee at the time of grant, a Stock Appreciation Right
granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by a related
Stock Option shall not be reduced until after the number of shares remaining
under the related Stock Option equals the number of shares covered by the Stock
Appreciation Right.

     A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee, in accordance
with Section 6(b) below, by surrendering the applicable portion of the related
Stock Option.  Upon such exercise and surrender, the optionee shall be entitled
to receive an amount (and

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
in the form) determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b) below.  Stock
Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be
exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been
exercised.

     (b)    Terms and Conditions.  Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

     (i)    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or
times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate shall be
exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 above and this
Section 6 of the Plan; provided, however, that any Stock Appreciation Right
granted subsequent to the grant of the related Stock Option shall not be
exercisable during the first six months of the term of such Stock Appreciation
Right, except that this special limitation shall not apply in the event of
Disability or Termination of an employee optionee or death of an optionee prior
to the expiration of the six-month period.

     (ii)   Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall
be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, an amount in cash and/or shares
of Stock equal to the SAR Value with the Committee having the right to determine
the form of payment, subject to Section 6(b)(v) below.  For purposes of this
paragraph, the shares of Stock will be valued at their Fair Market Value at the
date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

     (iii)  Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable and exercisable
only when and to the extent that the underlying Stock Option would be
transferable and exercisable under Section 5(b)(v) of this Plan.

     (iv)   Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or
part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed
to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 3
of the Plan on the number of shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan, but
only to the extent of the number of shares issued under the Stock Appreciation
Right at the time of exercise based upon the SAR Value.

     (v)    The Committee may grant "Limited Stock Appreciation Rights", i.e.,
Stock Appreciation Rights that become exercisable only in the event of a Change
in Control as defined in Section 10 below, subject to such terms and conditions
as the Committee may specify at the time of grant.  Said Limited Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be settled solely in cash, in an amount equal to the
SAR Value.

     Each grant of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be confirmed by, and shall be
subject to the terms of, an agreement, executed by the Company and the
participant.

                                       9

Section 7. Restricted Stock.

     (a)    Grant and Exercise.  Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either
alone or in addition to other awards granted by the Company.  The Committee
shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which,
grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the
price (if any) to be paid by the recipient, the time or times within which such
awards may be subject to forfeiture (the "Restriction Period"), the vesting
schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions
of the awards.

     The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the
attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors as the Committee
may determine.

     (b)    Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject
to the following terms and conditions:

     (i)    Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock
certificate or certificates registered in the name of the holder to whom such
Restricted Stock shall have been awarded.  During the Restriction Period,
certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting
Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a restrictive legend to the
effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions),
and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the
restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the applicable
Restricted Stock agreement.  Such certificates shall be deposited by the holder
with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment,
each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any
portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained
Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in
accordance with the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock agreement.

     (ii)   Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock for all corporate purposes.  The holder will have the right to vote
such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and
other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion
designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other
rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such
Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (A) the holder will not be entitled
to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such
Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all
other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (B)
the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates
representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (C) other than
regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may
in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain
custody of all distributions ("Retained Distributions") made or declared with
respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject
to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the
Restricted Stock) until such

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained
Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested
and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (D) the
holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of
the Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions during the Restriction
Period; and (E) a breach by the holder of any of the restrictions, terms or
conditions contained in this Plan or the Restricted Stock agreement referred to
in the following clause (iv) or otherwise established by the Committee with
respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a
forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect
thereto.

     (iii)  Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each
award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable
restrictions, terms and conditions (A) all or part of such Restricted Stock
shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Stock
agreement referred to in the following clause (iv), and (B) any Retained
Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the
extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested.  Any
such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be
forfeited to the Company and the holder shall not thereafter have any rights
with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have
been so forfeited.

     (iv)   Each Restricted Stock award shall be confirmed by, and shall be
subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the
participant.

Section 8.  Deferred Stock.

     (a)     Grant and Exercise. Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or
in addition to other awards granted by the Company. The Committee shall
determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which Deferred
Stock shall be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to
any person, the duration of the period (the "Deferral Period") during which, and
the conditions under which, receipt of the Stock will be deferred, and all the
other terms and conditions of the awards.

     The Committee may condition the grant of Deferred Stock upon the attainment
of specified performance goals or such other factors or criteria as the
Committee shall determine.

     (b)     Terms and Conditions. Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

     (i)    Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the award agreement
referred to in Section 8(b)(vii) below, Deferred Stock awards may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral
Period.  At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral
Period referred to in Section 8(b)(vi) below,

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
where applicable), share certificates shall be delivered to the participant, or
his legal representative, in a number equal to the shares covered by the
Deferred Stock award.

     (ii)   As determined by the Committee at the time of award, amounts equal
to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral
Period referred to in Section 8(b)(vi) below, where applicable) with respect to
the number of shares covered by a Deferred Stock award may be paid to the
participant currently or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional
Deferred Stock.

     (iii)  Subject to the provisions of the award agreement and this Section
8 and Section 13(g) below, upon termination of a participant who is an officer
or employee whose employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated
for any reason during the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period
referred to in Section 8(b)(vi) below, where applicable) for a given award, the
Deferred Stock in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the
terms and conditions established by the Committee at the time of grant.

     (iv)   The Committee may, after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any
part of any Deferred Stock award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all
or any part of a Deferred Stock award.

     (v)    In the event of hardship or other special circumstances of an Agent
or a participant who is an officer or employee whose employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause), the
Committee may waive in whole or in part any or all of the remaining deferral
limitations imposed hereunder or pursuant to the award agreement referred to in
Section 8(b)(vii) below with respect to any or all of the participant's Deferred
Stock.

     (vi)   A participant may request to, and the Committee may at any time,
defer the receipt of an award (or an installment of an award) for an additional
specified period or until a specified event (the "Additional Deferral Period").
Subject to any exceptions adopted by the Committee, such request must generally
be made at least one year prior to expiration of the Deferral Period for such
Deferred Stock award (or such installment).

     (vii)  Each Deferred Stock award shall be confirmed by, and shall be
subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the
participant.

Section 9.  Other Stock-Based Awards.

     (a)    Grant and Exercise.  Other Stock-Based Awards which may include
performance shares, and shares valued by reference to the performance of the
Company or any Subsidiary, may be granted either alone or in addition to or in
tandem with Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or
Deferred Stock under this or any other plan.

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
     The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or
times at which, such awards shall be made, the number of shares of Stock to be
awarded pursuant to such awards, and all other terms and conditions of the
awards.  The Committee may also provide for the grant of Stock under such awards
upon the completion of a specified performance period.

     (b)    Terms and Conditions. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be subject
to the following terms and conditions:

     (i)    Shares of Stock subject to an Other Stock-Based Award may not be
sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date
on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable
restriction, performance or deferral period lapses.

     (ii)   The recipient of an Other Stock-Based Award shall be entitled to
receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents
with respect to the number of shares covered by the award, as determined by the
Committee at the time of the award.  The Committee may provide that such amounts
(if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock.

     (iii)  Any Other Stock-Based Award and any Stock covered by any Other
Stock-Based Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the
award agreement, as determined by the Committee.

     (iv)   In the event of Retirement, Disability or death of a participant who
is an officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, or in cases of
special circumstances of any participant, the Committee may waive in whole or in
part any or all of the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to
any or all of an Other Stock-Based Award.

     (v)    Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be confirmed by, and shall be
subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and by the

Section 10.  Change in Control Provisions.

     (a)    A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred on the tenth
day after:

     (i)    any individual, firm, corporation or other entity, or any group (as
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (the "Act")
becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (as defined in the General
Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to
Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act) of more than 20% of the then outstanding
shares of the Company's capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors of the Company; or

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
     (i)    the commencement of, or the first public announcement of the
intention of any individual, firm, corporation or other entity or of any group
(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act) to commence, a tender or exchange
offer subject to Section 14(d)(1) of the Act for any class of the Company's
capital stock; or

     (ii)   the stockholders of the Company approve (A) a definitive agreement
for the merger or other business combination of the Company with or into another
corporation pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company do not own,
immediately after the transaction, more than 50% of the voting power of the
corporation that survives and is a publicly owned corporation and not a
subsidiary of another corporation, or (B) a definitive agreement for the sale,
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company;

     provided, however, that a "Change of Control" shall not be deemed to have
taken place if beneficial ownership is acquired by, or a tender or exchange
offer is commenced or announced by, the Company, any profit-sharing, employee
ownership or other employee benefit plan of the Company, any trustee of or
fiduciary with respect to any such plan when acting in such capacity, or any
group comprised solely of such entities.

     (b)    In the event of a "Change of Control" as defined in Subsection (a)
above, awards granted under the Plan will be subject to the following
provisions, unless the provisions of this Section 10 are suspended or terminated
by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board prior to the occurrence of
such a "Change of Control":

     (i)    all outstanding Stock Options, and all Stock Appreciation Rights
(including Limited Stock Appreciation Rights) shall become exercisable in full,
whether or not otherwise exercisable at such time, and any such Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable in full thereafter until it
expires pursuant to its terms; and

     (ii)   all restrictions and deferral limitations contained in Restricted
Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards and Other Stock-Based Awards granted under
the Plan shall lapse.

Section 11.  Amendments and Termination.

     The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend any of the
provisions of the Plan, and may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective unless and until it
has been duly approved by the holders of the outstanding shares of Stock if (a)
it increases the aggregate number of shares of Stock which are issued pursuant
to the Plan, (except as provided in Section 3 above) or (b) the failure to
obtain such approval would adversely affect the compliance of the Plan with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Act, as in effect from time to time, or
with the requirements of any other applicable law, rule or regulation.  The
Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted under the Plan;
provided, however, that

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
subject to Section 3 above, no such amendment may be made by the Committee which
in any material respect impairs the rights of the participant without the
participant's consent.

Section 12.  Unfunded Status of Plan.

     The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and
deferred compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a
participant or optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any
such participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company.

Section 13.  General Provisions.

     (a)    Investment Representations.  The Committee may require each person
acquiring shares of Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the
Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the optionee or
participant is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to
distribution thereof.

     All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is
then listed, any applicable Federal or state securities law, and any applicable
corporate law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any
such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     (b)    Additional Incentive Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan
shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the
granting of stock options and the awarding of stock and cash otherwise than
under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases.

     (c)    Continued Employment.  Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award
hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any officer, employee or Agent of the
Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or
any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company
or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its officers, employees
or Agents at any time.

     (d)    Withholding.  Not later than the date as of which an amount first
becomes includable in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to any award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to
the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the
payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld or paid with respect to such amount.  If permitted by the Committee,
tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Stock, including
Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement.
The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional upon

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
such payment or arrangements and the Company or the participant's employer (if
not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct
any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant
from the Company or any Subsidiary.

     (e)    Governing Law.  The Plan and all awards made and actions taken
thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York (without regard to choice of law provisions).

     (f)    Other Benefit Plans.  Any Stock Option granted or other award made
under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall
not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in
effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the
level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other
plan to awards under this Plan).

     (g)    Employee Status.  A leave of absence, unless otherwise determined by
the Committee prior to the commencement thereof, shall not be considered a
termination of employment. Any Stock Option granted or awards made under the
Plan to officers and employees of the Company or any Subsidiary shall not be
affected by any change of employment, so long as the holder continues to be an
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.

     (h)    Non-Transferability.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Plan, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned,
hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbered or charged, otherwise
than by will, by the laws of decent and distribution or by a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order, and any attempt otherwise to alienate, sell, assign,
hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be
void.  No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to
such benefit.

     (i)    Applicable Laws.  The obligations of the Company with respect to all
Stock Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable
laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as
may be required, including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, and (ii) the rules and
regulations of any securities exchange on which the Stock may be listed.

     (j)    Conflicts.  If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan conflict
with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Act, as in effect from time to
time, or with the requirements of any other applicable law, rule or regulation,
and/or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code, then
such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so
conflict with the requirements of said Rule 16b-3, 

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
and/or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code.  With
respect to Incentive Stock Options, if this Plan does not contain any provision
required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision
shall be deemed to be incorporated herein, with the same force and effect as if
such provision had been set out at length herein.

     (k)    Written Agreements.  The Committee may terminate any Stock Option or
other award made under the Plan if a written agreement relating thereto is not
executed and returned to the Company within 30 days after such agreement has
been delivered to the participant for his or her execution.

     (l)    Consideration for Stock.  The Committee may not grant any awards
under the Plan pursuant to which the Company will be required to issue any
shares of Stock unless the Company will receive consideration for the shares of
Stock sufficient under the laws of the State of New Jersey so that such shares
of Stock will be fully paid and nonassessable when issued.

Section 14.  Effective Date of Plan.

     The Plan was deemed adopted on the date it was approved by the stockholders
of Par and became effective as to Par as of March 23, 1990.  The Plan was
adopted as to the Company on the date of adoption and assumption by the Board,
and the Plan became effective as to the Company on the effective date of the
merger of Par Merging Corp., a subsidiary of the Company, with and into Par.

Section 15.  Term of Plan.

     No Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Rights Restricted Stock award, Deferred
Stock award or Other Stock-Based Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on
or after March 23, 2000, but awards granted prior to such date may extend beyond
that date.
