CHATTEM, INC.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN2003



|1. | PURPOSE
|-- | -------



The Chattem, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan2003 (the 2003 Plan) is designed to enable officers and key management employees of Chattem, Inc.
(the Company) and its Subsidiaries to continue to acquire shares of the Companys common stock and thus to share in the future success of the Companys business. The 2003 Plan is also intended to provide the Board of Directors
the added flexibility to customize other forms of equity based compensation for management if necessary based upon changing market and regulatory conditions. Accordingly, the 2003 Plan is intended as a further means not only of attracting and
retaining outstanding management personnel, but also of promoting a closer identity of interest between key management employees and the Company and its shareholders.

Non-Qualified Stock Options, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. To the extent that an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the Option Agreement by the Committee, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified
Stock Option.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | No Option shall be exercised by an Optionee unless the Optionee shall have executed and delivered an Option Agreement.

shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Share on the date the option is granted but may exceed Fair Market Value in the sole discretion of the Committee, and, for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option to an Employee that currently owns
more than 10 percent of the common stock of the Company, shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date on which the Option is granted.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shareholders of the Company at the meeting within the period specified by Section 3 hereof. The Term of each Option shall end (unless the Option shall have terminated earlier under any other provisions of the 2003 Plan) on a date ten (10) years from
the date of grant of the Option, provided, that no Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee that currently owns more than 10 percent of the common stock of the Company shall have a term of more than five (5) years.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Each Option shall become exercisable and vested with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares purchasable thereunder on the first anniversary of the date
of the grant of the Option. The option to purchase an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of such Shares shall become exercisable and vested, on a cumulative basis, on each of the three succeeding anniversaries of the date of the grant of the
Option, so that four years from the date of such grant the option to purchase all such Shares shall have become exercisable and vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule (i) each Option shall become exercisable in full immediately upon
a Change in Control and (ii) upon the death, disability or retirement of an Optionee or termination of an Optionees employment pursuant to Section 8(e), any Option held by such Optionee shall be exercisable in full in accordance with the

| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Options shall be exercised by delivering or mailing to the Committee:
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | payment in full of the Option price for the Shares in cash and/or by the tender of Shares (by delivering the appropriate stock certificates) to the Committee; provided, however,
that (i) the Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering shares to exercise an Option under the 2003 Plan, and may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the use of Shares to exercise an Option as it deems appropriate and (ii)
the Committee may permit Optionees to pay for any Shares subject to an option by delivering to the Committee a properly executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms in connection with exercises of Options. The value of any Shares tendered in accordance with this Paragraph (3) shall

| | (d) | Conditions on Exercise.
| | --- | -----------------------



| | (i) | The exercise of each Option granted under the 2003 Plan shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the
satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities, or that the listing, registration or qualification of any Shares otherwise deliverable upon such exercise upon any securities exchange or under any State or Federal law, or the
consent or approval of any regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of Shares, then in any such event such exercise or payment shall not be effective or be made
unless such withholding, listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Any such postponement shall not extend the time within which the Option may
be exercised; and neither the Company
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall lapse because of such postponement.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Except with the prior written approval of the Committee, all Options granted under the 2003 Plan shall be nontransferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution in accordance with Section 8(e)(1) hereof, and an Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Subject to the provisions of Section 8(b)(2), upon the purchase of Shares under an option, the stock certificate or certificates may, at the request of the Optionee (or the
Optionees Beneficiary, where the Option is exercised by the Beneficiary), be issued in the name of the Optionee (or Beneficiary) and the name of another person as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | Exercise of Option After Death, Disability, Retirement, or Other Termination of Employment.

Optionees death may be exercised only within three (3) years after the Optionees death (within one (1) year if an Incentive Stock Option) and only by the Optionees Beneficiary. If an Optionee shall die within three (3) years after
cessation of employment (within one (1) year if an Incentive Stock Option) while the Option is exercisable pursuant to Paragraph (2) below, or if the Optionee shall die within three (3) years after cessation of employment (within one (1) year if an
Incentive Stock Option) while the Option is exercisable pursuant to Paragraph (3) below, any Option held by the Optionee on the date of his death may be exercised after the Optionees death only within the remainder of the period prescribed by
Paragraph (2) or Paragraph (3), as the case may be, and only by the Optionees Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration date thereof specified in the Option Agreement.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Disability. If an Optionees employment with the Company or a Subsidiary ceases due to Disability, the Optionee may exercise the Option at any time within three (3)
years after the Optionee shall so cease to be an employee (within one (1) year if an Incentive Stock Option); provided, however, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration date thereof specified in the Option Agreement.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Retirement. If an Optionees employment with the Company or a Subsidiary ceases due to Retirement, the Optionee may exercise the Option at any time
within three (3) years after the Optionee shall so cease

---

| | to be an employee (within 90 days if an Incentive Stock Option); provided, however, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration
date thereof specified in the Option Agreement.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Leave of Absence. The Committee shall have the sole authority to determine whether, in any particular case, a leave of absence shall result in a termination of employment for
purposes of this Section 8.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | Divestiture. If an Optionees employment with the Company or a Subsidiary ceases due to divestiture of a Subsidiary or other distinct business unit of the Company, the
Optionee may exercise the Option at any time within ninety (90) days after the divestiture, provided that the Optionee is an employee on the actual date of the divestiture; and further provided, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable after

specified in the Option Agreement.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (f) | Shareholder Rights. No person shall have any rights of a shareholder by virtue of an Option except with respect to Shares actually issued to him or her, and the issuance of
Shares shall confer no retroactive right to dividends.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (g) | Incentive Stock Options. All the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder as in effect from time to time are hereby incorporated by reference
herein with respect to Incentive Stock Options to the extent that their inclusion in this Plan is necessary from time to time to preserve their status as incentive stock options for purposes of Section 422. Each provision of the 2003 Plan and each
agreement relating to an Incentive Stock Option shall be construed so that it shall be an incentive stock option for purposes of Section 422, but to the extent that such grants for any reason fail to qualify as Incentive Stock Options then such
grants shall be deemed Non-Qualified Stock Options.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pursuant to an agreement which specifies the restrictions thereon and the terms and conditions governing the termination of such restrictions. Each certificate representing Restricted Stock shall at the Committees discretion either bear a
legend as to the restrictions thereon or be deposited by the grantee, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company. Unless otherwise limited as provided by the Committee, the grantee shall have the right to receive dividends from
and to vote



8



---

the shares of Restricted Stock owned by the grantee unless and until such shares are forfeited back to the Company.



|10. | STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
|--- | -------------------------



The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights, either alone or in tandem with Options or Other Plan Grants, to Participants as it may determine from
time to time. Each grant of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be credited to the grantees account on the books of the Plan and shall have such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Payment may be made in whole or in part in cash,
shares of common stock, or such other form as the Committee may determine. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall be payable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, as the Committee shall specify. Stock Appreciation
Rights shall not be transferable or assignable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be payable during the Participants lifetime only to the Participant, or upon death of disability, to the Participants
Beneficiary.



|11. | OTHER PLAN GRANTS
|--- | -----------------



The Committee may make such Other Plan Grants upon such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Other Plan Grants, subject to
limitations under applicable law, may be payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of the common stock of the Company, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the
Plan, including, without limitation, shares of common stock awarded solely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, performance shares issuable upon the attainment of certain criteria determined by the Committee, phantom shares
reflecting increases in the value of the equity of the Company, dividend equivalents for holders of Options or others, all as may be determined from time to time by the Committee and set forth in the specific terms and conditions of a Grant
Agreement.



|12. | ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
|--- | -----------------------------------------



In the event that there is any change in the Shares through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise, or if there shall be any
dividend on the Companys Shares, payable in such Shares, or if there shall be a stock split or combination of Shares, the aggregate number of Shares available for Options and Other Plan Grants, the number of Shares subject to outstanding
Options and Other Plan Grants, and the Option price per share of each outstanding Option shall be proportionately adjusted by the Committee as it deems equitable in its absolute discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the
Optionee or the holder of Other Plan Grants; provided, that any fractional Shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated. The Committees determination with respect to any such adjustments shall be conclusive.



|13. | EFFECT OF MERGER OR OTHER REORGANIZATION
|--- | ----------------------------------------



If the Company shall be the surviving corporation in a merger or other reorganization, Options and Other Plan Grants shall extend to stock and securities
of the Company to the same extent that a holder of that number of Shares immediately before the merger or consolidation corresponding to the number of Shares covered by the Option or Other Plan Grant would be



9



---

entitled to have or obtain stock and securities of the Company under the terms of the merger or consolidation.



|14. | TERMINATION, SUSPENSION OR MODIFICATION OF THE 2003 PLAN
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------



The Committee may at any time terminate, suspend, amend or modify the 2003 Plan, except that the Committee shall not, without the authorization of the
holders of a majority of the Companys Shares voting at a shareholders meeting duly called and held, change (other than through adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 12 hereof): (a) the aggregate number of Shares
with respect to which Options and Other Plan Grants may be granted; (b) the class of persons eligible for Options and Other Plan Grants; (c) the Option price; or (d) the maximum duration of the 2003 Plan. No termination, suspension or modification
of the 2003 Plan shall adversely affect any right acquired by an Optionee, or by any Beneficiary, or by the holder of Other Plan Grants under the terms of an Option or Other Plan Grant granted before the date of such termination, suspension or
modification, unless such Optionee or Beneficiary shall consent; but it shall be presumed conclusively that any adjustment for changes in capitalization in accordance with Section 12 hereof does not adversely affect any such right.



|15. | DURATION OF THE 2003 PLAN
|--- | -------------------------



Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 14 hereof, the 2003 Plan shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years from the date of its
adoption by the Board of Directors. Expiration of such five (5) year period shall not affect the vesting of previously granted Options pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof or the vesting of previously granted Other Plan Grants.



|16. | GOVERNING LAW
|--- | -------------



The 2003 Plan shall be construed and its provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee except to the extent
that such laws may be superseded by any Federal law.
