      STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

    


    THIS
      INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”)
      is
      made and entered into as of this __ day of _________, 2008 between Lev
      Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
      a
      Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 675 Third Avenue,
      Suite 2200 New York, New York 10017 (“Corporation”),
      and
____________
      (“Holder”),
      with
      respect to the following facts: 

    


    Pursuant
      and subject to the Corporation’s 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, a
      copy of which is furnished to the Holder with a copy of this Agreement and
      the
      provisions of which, by this reference, are made a part of this Agreement as
      though specified completely and specifically verbatim in this Agreement (the
      “Plan”),
      the
      Corporation’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests
      of the Corporation and its stockholders to grant the option provided for herein
      to the Holder. The parties agree as follows: 

    


    1.
      OPTION GRANTED. Corporation
      grants to Holder an option to purchase the number of shares of $.01 par value
      common stock of Corporation (the “Common
      Stock”)
      at a
      purchase price as described in Appendix
      “A”
      (the
      “Option”).
      

    


    2.
      TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.
      Holder
      may exercise the Option at any time as described in Appendix
      “A”,
      and
      from time to time until termination of the Option as provided in Paragraph
      11 of
      this Agreement. 

    


    3.
      METHOD OF EXERCISE.
      The
      Holder shall exercise the Option by delivery to the Corporation at its principal
      place of business, of (i) a written notice of exercise signed by the person
      or
      persons exercising the Option specifying the number of Options being exercised;
      and (ii) a certified or cashier’s check in payment of the Option purchase price;
      or (iii) full payment in shares of Corporation’s Common Stock held for the
      requisite period necessary to avoid a change to Corporation’s reported earnings
      and valued at fair market value as determined pursuant to Section 2.17 of the
      Plan; or (iv) through a cashless exercise program implemented by the
      Corporation’s Board of Directors. Promptly upon receipt of such notice of
      exercise and the appropriate consideration, the Corporation will deliver or
      cause to be delivered to Holder stock certificate(s) representing the number
      of
      shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock purchased in accordance with the
      provisions of this Agreement and during Holder’s lifetime, duly registered in
      the name of the Holder and, at the Holder’s election, his or her spouse.


    


    4.
      CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS. 

    


    (a)  The
      existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of
      Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
      recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in Corporation’s capital
      structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of Corporation or
      any
      issue of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to or affecting
      Corporation’s common stock or of any rights thereof, or the issuance of any
      securities convertible into any such common stock or of any rights, options,
      or
      warrants to purchase any common stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of
      Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business,
      or any other act or proceeding of Corporation, whether of a similar character
      or
      otherwise. 

    


    (b)
       The
      securities with respect to which the Option is granted are shares of the Common
      Stock of Corporation as presently constituted, but if and whenever, prior to
      the
      delivery by Corporation of all the shares of the common stock with respect
      to
      which the Option is granted, Corporation shall effect a subdivision or
      consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock
      dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of such common
      stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefore in money, services,
      or property, the number of shares of such common stock then remaining subject
      to
      the Option shall (a) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding
      shares of such common stock, be proportionately increased, and the cash
      consideration payable per share of such common stock shall be proportionately
      reduced; and (b) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares
      of such common stock, be proportionately reduced, and the cash consideration
      payable per share of such common stock shall be proportionately increased.
      

    


    5.
      MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION.
      In the
      event of a merger of one or more corporations with and into Corporation or
      any
      consolidation of Corporation and one or more corporations, the Option may be
      assumed or an equivalent option may be substituted by such surviving corporation
      or a parent or subsidiary of such surviving corporation. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    6.
      INVESTMENT UNDERTAKING.
      The
      Holder will hold the Option and the rights constituent thereto for investment
      and not with an intention of distribution, and upon exercise will deliver a
      letter confirming the Holder’s nondistributive intent with respect to the shares
      of Corporation’s Common Stock received as a result of the exercise of the
      Option. 

    


    7.
      REPRESENTATIONS OF CORPORATION. During
      such time as the Option remains outstanding and unexpired, Corporation will
      reserve for issuance, upon the exercise of the Option, the number of shares
      of
      Corporation’s Common Stock that are subject to the Option. The shares of
      Corporation’s Common Stock subject to the Option, when issued, shall be fully
      paid and nonasessable. Corporation will pay, when due and payable, any and
      all
      taxes or fees that may be payable by Corporation with respect to the grant
      of
      the Option or the issuance of any shares of Corporation’s Common Stock or
      certificates therefore subject to the Option. This does not include, however,
      any federal, state or other personal income tax payable by Holder because of
      (i)
      the grant of the Option; (ii) the issuance of any share of the Corporation’s
      Common Stock upon exercise thereof; or (iii) any subsequent disposition of
      such
      shares, which shall remain the obligation of Holder. 

    


    8.
      WITHOLDING TAXES.
      If
      Corporation determines that it is required to withhold federal, state, or local
      tax as a result of the exercise of the Option, Holder, as a condition to the
      exercise of the Option, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation
      to enable it to satisfy such withholding requirements. 

    


    9.
      COMMITTEE DETERMINATION FINAL.
      The
      interpretation of the Plan and this Agreement, including any inconsistency
      between the two documents, shall be reserved to and made by the Committee of
      the
      Board of Directors of Corporation provided for in the Plan. The Committee’s
      determinations shall be final as between the parties hereto, unless otherwise
      determined by the Board of Directors of Corporation. 

    


    10.
      TRANSFER OF OPTION. During
      Holder’s lifetime, the Option shall be exercisable only by Holder. The Option
      shall not be transferable by Holder, other than by the laws of descent and
      distribution upon Holder’s death. 

    


    11.
      TERMINATION OF OPTION.
      The
      Option shall terminate at 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on the date which is described
      in Appendix
      “A.”
This
      Option may sooner terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions
      described in Appendix
      “A.”

    


    12.
      RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. Holder
      will not be deemed to be a holder of any shares of Corporation’s Common Stock
      pursuant to the exercise of the Option until Holder pays the purchase price
      therefore and a stock certificate is delivered to Holder for those shares.
      No
      adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record
      date
      is prior to the date such exercise and full payment for the optioned shares.
      Nothing in this Option Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the
      right of the Corporation, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries, to terminate
      Holder’s employment at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor
      confer upon Holder any right to continue his or her employment for any specified
      period of time. This Option Agreement shall not constitute an employment
      contract with the Corporation, its Affiliates, and/or its
      Subsidiaries.

    


    13.
      GOVERNING LAW. This
      Agreement is granted and delivered in the State of Delaware and is intended
      to
      be construed and enforced under the laws thereof. The Holder submits to the
      exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of New York,
      to
      resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Option
      Agreement.

    


    14.
      ADJUSTMENTS.
      The
      Corporation may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the
      criteria included in, this Option in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
      events affecting the Corporation or its financial statements or of changes
      in
      applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Corporation
      determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent unintended
      dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be
      made available hereunder. The determination of the Corporation as to the
      foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on the Holder.
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    15.
      REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.
      The
      grant of this Option and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise
      of
      this Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations,
      and
      to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges
      as may be required. The Corporation shall have no obligation to issue or deliver
      evidence of title for shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise
      of this Option prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies
      that the Corporation determines are necessary or advisable; and (b) completion
      of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Common Stock under
      any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that
      the Corporation determines to be necessary or advisable. The inability of the
      Corporation to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
      which authority is deemed by the Corporation’s counsel to be necessary to the
      lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, shall relieve
      the Corporation of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
      such
      shares of Common Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have
      been
      obtained.

    


    16.
      DESIGNATION FOR TAX PURPOSES. To
      the
      maximum extent permissible, this Option is intended to be treated as an
      incentive stock option (“ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
      Revenue Code (the “Code”). It is understood and acknowledged by Holder, however,
      that all of the Options may not qualify as ISOs. The Holder is therefore urged
      to consult with his individual tax advisor prior to exercising this Option
      since
      the exercise of this Option may result in adverse tax consequences including
      the
      payment of additional federal and/or state income taxes. If Holder sells or
      otherwise disposes of any of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to
      this Option on or before the later of (1) the date which is two years after
      the Grant Date, or (2) the date one year after exercise of the Option with
      respect to which the shares are to be sold or disposed, the Holder shall
      immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Holder
      acknowledges that disposition by him within such one (1) year or two (2) year
      period would disqualify him from capital gain treatment for any gain realized
      upon such disposition. 

    


    17.
      CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.
      Capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined in this Incentive
      Stock
      Option Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such term in the Plan.
      

    


    18.
      GENERAL PROVISIONS.
      Subject
      to the terms of the Plan, this Option constitutes the entire agreement of the
      parties and supersede all prior undertakings and agreements with respect to
      the
      subject matter hereof.  Except where otherwise indicated by the context,
      any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural
      shall
      include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. In the event
      any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason,
      the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this
      Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal
      or invalid provision had not been included. No fractional shares of Common
      Stock
      shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Option. The Corporation shall
      determine whether cash or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of
      fractional shares of Common Stock or whether such fractional shares or any
      rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

      Corporation applicable to all employees (including, without limitation, policies
      relating to confidentiality and reasonable workplace conduct); (iii) an act
      of
