                               SERVICES AGREEMENT

     This Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and is effective as of
the 30th day of September, 2005, by and between Abbott Laboratories, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois and
having a principal place of business at 100 Abbott Park Road, Abbott Park,
Illinois 60064 ("Abbott") and ImaRx Therapeutics, Inc. a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of Delaware and having a principal place of business
at Tuscon, Arizona ("ImaRx").

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, Abbott and ImaRx have made and entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement ("Asset Purchase Agreement") dated September 30, 2005, pursuant to
which Abbott is selling certain assets and rights that are used in the
manufacture of Abbott's recombinant urokinase and recombinant pro-urokinase
products, and related liabilities (such assets, rights and liabilities
collectively referred to as the "Business"), and ImaRx is purchasing the
Business, all as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement;

     WHEREAS, ImaRx desires an option to receive certain services from Abbott or
an Affiliate of Abbott on an interim transitional basis in order to assist ImaRx
to use the Manufacturing Technology; and

     WHEREAS, Abbott is willing to supply such services pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

     NOW THEREFORE for good and valuable consideration (the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), Abbott and ImaRx agree as follows:

     1.   Definitions.

          (a)  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the
               meanings given to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

          (b)  "Services" means the services listed in Attachment 1 attached
               hereto.

          (c)  "Manufacturing Technology" shall mean the technology related
               assets acquired by ImaRx pursuant to the Asset Purchase
               Agreement.

     2.   General Description of Services.

          (a)  The purpose of this Agreement is to enable ImaRx to receive
               certain designated Services from Abbott in order to assist ImaRx
               in using the Manufacturing Technology in connection with the
               Asset Purchase Agreement.

<PAGE>

          (b)  If ImaRx provides Abbott written notice within 15 business days
               of the date hereof, Abbott or an Affiliate of Abbott will supply
               to ImaRx the Services described in Attachment 1, and, except as
               may be otherwise provided in this Agreement and unless otherwise
               indicated in the Attachment, each Service will be of the type and
               at the level of service and utilization Abbott or Affiliates of
               Abbott provided in connection with the Business prior to the date
               hereof. Abbott will not be required to provide any services to
               ImaRx if ImaRx does not provide the written notice described
               above. Furthermore, Abbott will not be required to provide any
               services that are not described in the Attachment hereto unless
               mutually agreed by the parties.

     3.   Charges.

          (a)  If ImaRx provides the notice described in Section 2(b), Abbott
               will charge ImaRx, and ImaRx will pay to Abbott, a fee for the
               Services provided hereunder. For each Service, the fee will be as
               set forth in the Attachment for that Service. Abbott is willing
               to provide Services to ImaRx until December 31, 2006. If Services
               are not completed by December 31, 2006, then Abbott shall refund
               to ImaRx all fees (but not expenses) up to a maximum amount of
               $250,000 paid by ImaRx under this Section 3(a).

          (b)  The fees referred to in this Section and in the Attachments are
               net of all applicable federal, state, local and value added taxes
               and other similar taxes, fees or duties, except for taxes
               measured according to Abbott's income (collectively "Sales
               Taxes") imposed by any governmental authority on the Services
               provided hereunder. ImaRx will pay all such Sales Taxes properly
               invoiced in accordance with the relevant law and regulations in
               force at the time Abbott or its Affiliate provides any applicable
               Service, and Abbott or an Affiliate of Abbott, shall invoice for
               and collect Sales Taxes from ImaRx in the same manner as it
               generally collects Sales Taxes from its other customers in the
               ordinary course of their business and shall be solely responsible
               for remitting such Sales Taxes to the relevant taxing authority.

     4.   Payment. (a) If ImaRx elects under Section 2(b) to utilize the
          Services of Abbott, then on a quarterly basis, Abbott will fax an
          invoice to ImaRx for the Services Abbott provided to ImaRx since the
          generation of the last invoice. ImaRx will pay such invoice in
          immediately available funds by ACH to an account designated by Abbott
          such that the funds are immediately available to Abbott no later than
          the twentieth (20th) calendar day after the date of the invoice;
          provided the invoice date shall not be earlier than the date the
          invoice is faxed to ImaRx. ImaRx and Abbott agree that if the due date
          occurs on a Saturday or Bank Holiday, Abbott will receive the
          immediately available funds on the immediately preceding business day,
          and if the due date occurs on a Sunday, Abbott will receive the
          immediately available funds the next following business day. Delay in
          payment will result in ImaRx being


                                       2

<PAGE>

          responsible for interest at a rate of one and a half percent (1 1/2%)
          per month, or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less, on
          the outstanding amount of any unpaid invoice beginning on the day
          after the payment due date.

          (b)  If ImaRx elects under Section 2(b) to utilize the Services of
               Abbott, then upon Completion of the Services, ImaRx shall pay
               Abbott Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), less any amounts
               already paid by ImaRx to Abbott (the "Fee") pursuant to Section 4
               above and Attachment 1 hereto. The Services shall be deemed
               complete upon the achievement of the milestones set forth in
               Exhibit A as mutually agreed by the parties ("Completion of the
               Services"). If the Completion of the Services, does not occur on
               or prior to December 31, 2006, the foregoing Fee shall not be
               payable to Abbott.

     5.   Term.

          (a)  This Agreement will take effect at and as of the Closing Date
               under the Asset Purchase Agreement. This Agreement will terminate
               upon the earlier of either (i) the Completion of the Services or
               (ii) December 31, 2006.

     6.   Warranties. Abbott will use reasonable efforts to provide the Services
          to ImaRx in a manner substantially similar to the manner Abbott or
          Affiliates of Abbott provided the same Services to the Business prior
          to Closing (which the Abbott represents to be consistent with industry
          practices) except to the extent this Agreement or any Attachment
          modifies the manner in which Abbott is to provide those Services and
          except to the extent the parties may otherwise agree in writing.
          Abbott makes no other warranty concerning the Services, or equipment
          supplied or used hereunder, or the condition of any of its premises or
          equipment. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE
          WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THE WARRANTY OF
          MERCHANTABILITY, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED.

     7.   Liability.

          (a)  As to any claim of any nature relating to this Agreement, whether
               in contract, tort, strict liability, patent infringement or
               otherwise, excluding claims resulting from the gross negligence
               or willful misconduct of Abbott, the total liability of Abbott
               will not exceed an amount equal to the total charges under
               Section 3 for the Services provided by Abbott in respect of which
               the claim is made. ImaRx's failure to give Abbott written notice
               of any claim within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery or
               discovery (if later), or the date fixed for delivery if the claim
               relates to failure to deliver or failure to deliver in a timely
               manner, will constitute a waiver by ImaRx of all claims of any
               kind arising as a result of such delivery or non-delivery.
               Failure by ImaRx to provide such written notice


                                        3

<PAGE>

               to Abbott within such time period will constitute a complete
               defense for Abbott against such claims by ImaRx.

          (b)  IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY
               INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONTINGENT
               DAMAGES OR LOSSES (WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY
               A PARTY'S NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION, OR WHETHER BASED ON BREACH
               OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF AGREEMENT, STATUTE, STRICT LIABILITY OR
               OTHERWISE), OR LOSS OF PROFITS OR DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS
               INTERRUPTION, OR COSTS OF LITIGATION, SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY THE
               OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH RESPECT TO
               PROVISION OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES.

          (c)  Each of the parties hereto will defend, indemnify and hold
               harmless the other party from and against all Losses made against
               or incurred by the other party arising from that party's breach
               of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder.

     8.   Compliance with Laws. Abbott and ImaRx agree to comply with all
          applicable laws and governmental regulations concerning the Services.

     9.   Contingencies.

          (a)  "Force Majeure" means the failure of either party to perform
               hereunder in the manner provided for in this Agreement (except
               any obligation to pay for Services already performed), which
               failure is beyond the reasonable control of the party (whether of
               like or different character to the matters listed below) so
               failing to perform, including if such failure is caused or
               occasioned by: (1) the inability to comply with any order,
               regulation or request of any Federal, State or Municipal
               Government or any officer, department, agency or committee
               thereof, including requisition or allocation or establishment of
               priority, or by compliance with any request authorized by such
               governmental authority, which is valid or reasonably believed to
               be valid; or (2) an Act of God, the public enemy, fire,
               explosion, equipment failure, flood, earthquake, tornado,
               hurricane, war, riot, sabotage, or other similar catastrophe,
               accident, embargo, strikes, lockouts or other industrial
               disturbances, shortage, delay or failure of supply of materials,
               power, utilities, labor, fuel or equipment, interruptions of or
               delay in transportation (including transmission system failure or
               breakdown) or by any other event or circumstances.

          (b)  A party will be relieved from liability to deliver or receive
               Services hereunder (but not for any liability to pay for Services
               already performed) for the time and to the extent such failure to
               perform is caused or


                                        4

<PAGE>

               occasioned by Force Majeure. In the event that a party becomes
               unable by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this
               Agreement, in whole or in part, that party will promptly give
               notice of such, including the expected duration of such Force
               Majeure, to the other party. The party so affected by the Force
               Majeure will undertake prompt and diligent efforts to remedy such
               Force Majeure insofar as it is economically practicable.

          (c)  It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or
               lockouts involving a party will be entirely within that party's
               discretion, and that the above requirements that any Force
               Majeure will be remedied with all reasonable dispatch will not
               require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the
               demands of the employees involved when such course is inadvisable
               in that party's sole discretion.

          (d)  If Force Majeure reduces the capabilities of Abbott to provide
               any Service to a level below the combined requirements of Abbott
               and ImaRx, Abbott will allocate its available Service
               capabilities among Abbott, ImaRx, and Abbott affiliates and other
               users of that Service on a pro rata basis.

     10.  Cooperation and Confidentiality. The parties hereto agree to provide
          to each other all information and related documents reasonably
          requested by either party to enable the parties to perform hereunder
          and will comply with all such reasonable instructions as are necessary
          for the parties hereto to perform their obligations hereunder. Each
          party hereto will cause, and will cause each of its Affiliates and
          each of their respective officers, directors and employees, to hold
          confidential all information relating to the business of the other
          party disclosed to it by reason of this Agreement and not disclose any
          of such information to any third party unless legally compelled to
          disclose such information in accordance with the Confidentiality
          Agreement between the ImaRx and Abbott dated May 6, 2005; provided,
          however, that to the extent that any of them may become so legally
          compelled, they may only disclose such information if they have first
          used commercially reasonable efforts to, and, if practicable, afforded
          the other party the opportunity to, obtain an appropriate protective
          order or other satisfactory assurance of confidential treatment for
          the information required to be so disclosed.

     11.  Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
          construed as creating any relationship between Abbott and ImaRx other
          than as specifically set forth in this Agreement; neither party shall
          have any right, power or authority to assume, create, or incur any
          expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the
          other party, except as expressly provided herein. This Agreement is
          not intended to be nor shall be construed as a joint venture,
          association, partnership, or other form of a business organization or
          agency relationship.

     12.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
          counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument,
          but all such counterparts together will constitute one and the same
          instrument.

     13.  Attachments. The attachments referred to in this Agreement are
          incorporated herein by reference and expressly made a part of this
          Agreement as fully as though completely set forth herein. To the
          extent a conflict may exist between the provisions of this document
          and the provision of any attachment hereto, the provisions of this
          document will prevail.

     14.  Waiver. The failure of any party at any time or times to enforce or
          require performance of any provision hereof will in no way operate as
          a waiver or affect the right of such party at a later time to enforce
          the same. No waiver by any party of any condition or of the breach of
          any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this
          Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more
          instances, will be deemed to be or construed as a further or
          continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or a waiver of any
          other condition or of any breach of any other term, covenant,
          representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Any waiver of
          an obligation, agreement or condition contained herein will be valid
          and effective only if in writing and signed by the party to whom such
          compliance is owed.

     15.  Notices.

          (a)  All notices and other communications hereunder will be in writing
               and will be deemed effective and given only upon receipt, when
               delivered personally (receipt acknowledged), by facsimile
               transmission (receipt confirmed and followed by a hard copy), by

          (b)  The parties will agree upon the persons and places to whom
               routine correspondence, invoices and similar communications
               should be addressed in an effort to facilitate mutual and
               expeditious performance by the parties hereunder.

     16.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the attachments hereto,
          constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining
          to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
          understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written,
          of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. There are no
          warranties, representations or other agreements between the parties in
          connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set
          forth herein or in documents delivered pursuant hereto. Except as
          otherwise provided herein, no amendment, supplement or modification of
          this Agreement or any attachment, and no conditions, usage of trade,
          course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement
          purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or
          conditions of this Agreement, will be binding unless executed in
          writing by both of the parties hereto. No modification of this
          Agreement will be effected by the acknowledgement or acceptance of
          documents containing terms or conditions at variance with or in
          addition to those set forth in this Agreement, except as otherwise
          specifically agreed to by the parties in writing.

     17.  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is hereafter held to
          be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that provision will be
          reformed to the maximum extent permitted to come as close as possible
          in its effects to the invalid or unenforceable provision, failing
          which, it will be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
          unenforceability only, with the balance of the provision and of the
