codes for inflammatory skin diseases, including psoriasis, then PHMD shall be
obliged to determine, through annual survey or other means, which of such sales
were in fact used in the treatment of vitiligo and therefore become VR.

2.      The License.
        -----------

        a.      Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, MSSM
hereby grants to PHMD and PHMD hereby accepts from MSSM an exclusive, except as
otherwise set forth in Section 2.e below, license, with the right to sublicense
pursuant to Sections 2.b, 2.c and 2.d under the Patent Rights, to develop, make,

Services for use in the Field in the Territory.

<PAGE>

        b.      PHMD shall be entitled to grant sub-licenses under the License
on terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement (except that the
rate of Royalty may be at higher rates than those set forth in this Agreement):
(i) to Affiliates, and (ii) to any third parties for consideration and in
arms-length transactions.

        c.      All sub-licenses shall only be granted by PHMD pursuant to a
written agreement, a true and complete copy of which shall be submitted by PHMD
to MSSM as soon as practicable after the signing thereof. Each sub-license
granted by PHMD hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and
conditions of this License Agreement and shall contain, inter alia, the
following provisions:

                (i)     the sub-license shall expire automatically on the
                        termination of the License;

                (ii)    the sub-license shall not be assignable, in whole or in
                        part; and

                (iii)   the sub-licensee shall not be entitled to grant further
                        sub-licenses.

        d.      Any such sub-license agreement shall also include the text of
Sections 9 and 10 of this Agreement and shall state that MSSM is an intended
third party beneficiary of such sub-license agreement for purposes of enforcing
such indemnification and insurance provisions.

        e.      The License shall be subject to (i) a non-exclusive license for
non-commercial, academic, research and educational purposes in favor of the U.S.

right and license retained by MSSM on behalf of itself and its faculty, students
and academic research collaborators to practice and utilize such Patent Rights
and the Licensed Products and Services for its own bona fide research, including
sponsored research and collaborations. The retained rights granted in this
Section 2.e shall not give MSSM the right to offer or grant rights in the Field
under the Patent Rights to third parties.

        f.      Except for the License expressly provided in Section 2.a above,
neither party hereto will, as a result of this Agreement, obtain any ownership
interest in, or any other right or license to, any existing technology, patents,
or confidential information, of the other party.

3.      License Fees.
        ------------

        In consideration for the grant of the License hereunder,

        a.      From and after the Effective Date, unless and until MSSM shall
have given PHMD an election to cause Royalties to be calculated as provided in
Section 3.b below, PHMD shall pay to MSSM Royalties at the rate of [redacted] of
DXR, and [redacted] on DXR over [redacted], and [redacted] on DXR over
[redacted] through thee term of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

        b.      At any time up to and including the fourth (4th) anniversary of
the Effective Date, MSSM shall have the right, by notice given to PHMD, to elect
to cause Royalties under the Agreement to be calculated in accordance with this
Section 3.b, which election will become effective as of the calendar quarter
which commences immediately following the date of such election, as follows:
[redacted] of VR.

        c.      In the event PHMD grants sub-licenses under the Patent Rights,
as permitted pursuant to Sections 2.b, 2.c and 2.d, and receives remuneration
under any rights to the manufacture, use or sale of the Patent Rights, other
than payments for Royalties payable under any such rights, then PHMD shall pay
to MSSM, [redacted] of all consideration related directly to the use of Patent
Rights under such sub-license or similar agreement that PHMD receives from such
sub-licensees or other parties, other than payments received as Royalties for
Net Sales by the applicable sub-licensee or other party, including, without
limitation: (a) Contract Signature Payments, (b) Technology Premium Equity
Payments, (c) Third Party Milestone Payments, or (d) Maintenance Fees. As used
in this Section 3.c, the term "Contract Signature Payment" means license
initiation fees and all other non-recoupable (against Royalties) and
non-refundable up-front payments made to PHMD in connection with a sublicense or
similar agreement; "Technology Premium Equity Payment" means payments to PHMD,
that directly relate to and are stated as consideration under a sub-license or
similar agreement, equal to A x (B-C), where "A" is the number of PHMD shares of
stock or other units of equity purchased by the sub-licensee, "B" is the unit
price paid by the sublicense, and "C is the fair market value of the equity
which shall be the average closing price of PHMD Common Stock for the 10 trading
days immediately preceding the date such sub-license is executed, or, if there
is no trading market for the security issued, the good faith determination of
the PHMD's board of directors as to its fair market value; "Third Party
Milestone Payments" means payments made to PHMD upon fulfillment by PHMD or the
sub-licensee of designated development objectives or regulatory requirements
relating directly to use of the Patent Rights in connection with a sub-license
or similar agreement; "Maintenance Fees" means payments (such as annual minimum
Royalties provided such annual minimum Royalties are not recoupable against
Royalties actually paid to PHMD, or if recoupable against Royalties, then only
to the extent not recouped) made by sub-licensees to PHMD to preserve, or to
avoid a forfeiture of rights under, the sublicense agreement.

        d.      PHMD shall, within ninety (90) days from the last day of each
June and December in each Calendar Year during the term of the License, submit
to MSSM a full and detailed report of Royalties or Sublicense Fee payments due
MSSM under the terms of this Agreement for the preceding half year (the
"Semi-Annual Report"), setting forth the Net Sales, DXR and VR and lump sum
payments and all other payments or consideration from sub-licensees upon which
such Royalties or Sublicense Fee payments are computed and including at least
the following:

                (i)     the aggregate amount of its Net Sales during the
                        semi-annual period, including Net Sales of Affiliates
                        and sub-licensees, broken down into DXR and VR,

                (ii)    the deductions permitted to arrive at Net Sales as
                        provided by this Agreement,

                (iii)   a calculation of the Royalties due in respect of such
                        Net Sales; and

<PAGE>

                (iv)    payments received in respect of sublicensing for which a
                        Sublicense Fee payment is due, as described in Section
                        3.c above, and computations and deductions therefrom of
                        amounts due to MSSM in respect of such payments.

                If no Royalties or Sublicense Fee payments are due, a statement
shall be sent to MSSM stating such fact. The full amount of any Royalties or
Sublicense Fee payments due to MSSM for the preceding half-year shall accompany
each such report on Royalties or Sublicense Fee payments. PHMD, its Affiliates
that sub-license the Patent Rights and all its other sub-licensees shall keep
for a period of at least five years after the date of entry, full, accurate and
complete books and records consistent with sound business and accounting
practices and in such form and in such detail as to enable the determination of
the amounts due to MSSM from PHMD pursuant to terms of this Agreement.

        e.      At the request and expense of MSSM, PHMD shall permit (and shall
require its sub-licensees to permit) an independent certified or chartered
public accountant appointed by MSSM, at reasonable times and upon reasonable
notice, to examine the records of PHMD (and its sub-licensees) to the extent
necessary to verify Royalty calculations made hereunder; provided, however, that
such examination shall be at the expense of PHMD if it reveals a discrepancy in
the amount of Royalties to be paid in MSSM's favor of more than [redacted].
Results of such examination shall be made available to both PHMD and MSSM.

4.      Determination of VR.
        -------------------

        a.      Within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date, PHMD shall
provide MSSM with a written statement setting forth its good faith estimate of
what it anticipates VR to be during the first Calendar Year of this Agreement.
In each subsequent Calendar Year, VR shall, on or prior to March 1 of such
Calendar Year, provide MSSM with a written statement setting forth its good
faith estimate of what it anticipates VR to be during for such Calendar Year
based upon its internal data collection efforts for the prior year (which data
it will share with MSSM, and its reasonable projection for the change in the
amount of VR from such prior year; provided that PHMD shall be relieved of this
obligation if MSSM shall not have made an election under Section 3.b on or prior
to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date. If and to the extent that
MSSM makes the election contemplated by Section 3.b, the semi-annual payments of
Royalties in each Calendar Year shall initially be based upon PHMD's good faith
estimate of VR for such Calendar Year, subject to adjustment as provided below
based upon the conclusions of the Survey Provider.

        b.      Not later than July 1 of the first Calendar Year in which the
Effective Date occurs and in each Calendar Year thereafter continuing through
the term of this Agreement until such time as vitiligo specific CPT codes shall
have been established, provided that PHMD shall be relieved of this obligation
if MSSM shall not have made an election under Section 3.b on or prior to the
fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date, PHMD and MSSM shall, upon MSSM's
request, agree upon and appoint a Survey Provider to conduct a survey to
determine VR for such Calendar Year. Given that as of the Effective Date there
are no vitiligo-specific CPT codes, the Survey Provider shall determine VR by
means of an annual survey of access codes sold for targeted application under
CPT codes 96920, 96921 and 96922.

<PAGE>

If PHMD and MSSM have been unable to agree upon a mutually acceptable Survey
Provider within 30 days of such date, the Survey Provider for such Calendar Year
shall be selected as follows: PHMD and MSSM shall each select an independent
auditor from a national accounting firm and such two auditors shall mutually
determine an appropriate third party to be the Survey Provider. In all cases,
the Survey Provider shall be engaged on behalf of both PHMD and MSSM to conduct
a market survey to determine, based upon appropriate statistical sampling
methods and interviews with doctors, VR for such Calendar Year. At the time of
such engagement, representatives of PHMD and MSSM may meet with the Survey
Provider to review the scope of sampling and survey methodology that such Survey
Provider proposes to employ in conducting such survey, and each may offer
suggestions which it deems appropriate, provided, that the ultimate decisions on
sampling and methodology shall be those of the Survey Provider. PHMD shall make
available to the Survey Provider details of its Net Sales for the applicable
Calendar Year as well as such data in its possession as the Survey Provider may
reasonably request in connection with its conduct of such market survey. PHMD
and MSSM shall bear equally the costs and fees of the Survey Provider, provided
that in no event will MSSM be responsible for any amount [redacted] of the
Royalties actually due and paid by PHMD to MSSM for such Calendar Year.

        c.      To assist the Survey Provider, PHMD will determine the
feasibility of revamping the software of the installed laser base such that a
customer would have to record on the laser computer screen what disease (e.g.
psoriasis, vitiligo, leukoderma, etc.) is to be treated before the treatment is
conducted. This would enable a person at the laser computer screen to call up
data on what treatments were performed, sorted by disease state. Though
contractually the customer would be obliged to call up and report such data to
PHMD, it may prove infeasible to depend on this, and therefore PHMD may have to
depend on its own field service technicians to gather the data in the course of
their maintenance visits. Such data would be compiled into an annual survey,
subject to sampling techniques. The revamp should substantially diminish the
need, and attendant costs, for a third-party survey; for this reason, costs of
writing and testing the software would be treated like survey costs, split
[redacted], subject to the foregoing [redacted] cap. Costs of installation in
the field should be minimal, inasmuch as they would be done as part of routine
maintenance calls. The costs, schedule and feasibility for the development and
implementation of such a proposal have not been determined as of yet. If the
revamping is deemed feasible, then PHMD will use its best efforts to implement
the revamp within the first [redacted] of the License.

        d.      PHMD and MSSM shall instruct the Survey Provider to present the
results of its market survey and its determination of VR in a written report to
PHMD and MSSM by no later than March 31 following the Calendar Year for which
such survey has been conducted. The determination of VR for a given Calendar
Year by the Survey Provider shall be final and binding upon both PHMD and MSSM.

        e.      In the event that vitiligo-specific CPT codes are adopted, then
for any Calendar Year that commences from and after the date on which such
vitiligo-specific CPT codes are adopted, PHMD shall itself conduct an annual
survey to determine VR and shall design treatment access codes targeted for such
CPT codes, and sales of such access codes shall be the presumptive measure of
VR. As to any such Calendar Year, to the extent it elects to do so, MSSM may, at
its own expense, engage a Survey Provider to conduct a survey to determine VR
for such Calendar Year, and if and to the extent that the survey conducted by
such Survey Provider yields a VR which exceeds that determined by PHMD by more
than [redacted], then the cost of such Survey Provider shall be borne by PHMD
and the determination of such Survey Provider as to VR for such Calendar Year
shall be final and binding upon both PHMD and MSSM.

<PAGE>

        f.      If and to the extent that MSSM has elected to have Royalties
calculated on the basis specified in Section 3.b, then within thirty (30) days
after the delivery by the Survey Provider of its report on VR for the prior
Calendar Year, PHMD shall deliver a certificate to MSSM, prepared by its Chief
Financial Officer, setting forth a calculation of the Royalties due to MSSM
based upon such actual VR for such Calendar Year (as compared to the estimated
calculations made in good faith by PHMD). Such certificate shall be accompanied
by a payment to MSSM of the amount, if any, by which Royalties for such Calendar
Year, based upon the actual VR determined by the Survey Provider, exceeds the
semi-annual amounts paid by PHMD to MSSM in respect of Royalties during such
Calendar Year. If such certificate shows that the amounts paid by PHMD to MSSM
as semi-annual payments during such Calendar Year exceeds the Royalties payable
based upon such actual VR, PHMD shall, in its discretion, credit such excess
against the next successive semi-annual Royalty payments due to MSSM or demand
that MSSM refund such excess and in such case MSSM shall pay PHMD such excess
within thirty (30) days of PHMD's request.

5.      Method of Payment.
        -----------------

        a.      Royalties and Sublicense Fee payments due to MSSM hereunder
shall be paid to MSSM in United States dollars. To the extent that the
underlying consideration for a sale or other remuneration is received by PHMD in
the form of equity or other non-cash consideration, then the Royalty or
Sublicense Fee payment, as the case may be, shall be made as follows: (i) to the
extent that such equity or other non-cash consideration is freely transferable
without restriction, such as in the case of publicly-traded securities, then the
applicable Royalties or Sublicense Fee shall be remitted as the applicable
percentage of the equity or other non-cash consideration received by PHMD, and
(ii) to the extent that such equity or other non-cash consideration is not
freely transferable, then PHMD shall within fifteen (15) days select an
independent appraiser, reasonably acceptable to MSSM, to value such
consideration and upon such valuation, PHMD shall pay in United States dollars
the value, as determined by the independent appraiser, of the applicable
percentage of the equity or other non-cash consideration received by PHMD,
within thirty (30) days of such valuation. The cost of such independent
appraiser shall be borne by PHMD. No late payment penalties shall be assessed
and PHMD shall not be deemed in breach of its payment obligations hereunder
during the period that the independent appraiser is conducting its valuation.

        b.      PHMD shall be responsible for prompt payment to MSSM of all
Royalties due on Net Sales by the sub-licensees of PHMD, within the time period
set forth in Section 3.d.

        c.      As to sales occurring in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, Net
Sales shall first be calculated in the currency in which sale occurred and then
converted to U.S. Dollars at the closing buying rate for such currency as of the
last business day of the six-month period for which Royalties are due, as set
forth in the Wall Street Journal for such date.

6.      Confidential Information.
        ------------------------

        a.      During the term of this Agreement, it may be necessary for one
party to disclose "Confidential Information" to the other. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" is defined as all information, data and
know-how, or financial and business information disclosed by one party (the
"Disclosing Party") to the other (the "Receiving Party"), either embodied in
tangible materials (including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs,
recordings, structures, technical and other information) marked "Confidential"
or, if initially disclosed orally, which is reduced to writing marked
"Confidential" within ten (10) days after initial oral disclosure, other than
that information which is:

                (i)     known by the Receiving Party at the time of its receipt,
                        and not through a prior disclosure by the Disclosing
                        Party, as documented by the Receiving Party's business
                        records; or

                (ii)    at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes,
                        published or otherwise part of the public domain without
                        breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or

                (iii)   obtained from a third party who has the legal right to
                        make such disclosure and without any confidentiality
                        obligation to the Disclosing Party; or

                (iv)    independently developed by the Receiving Party without
                        the use of Confidential Information received from the
                        Disclosing Party and such independent development can be
                        documented by the Receiving Party; or

                (v)     disclosed to governmental or other regulatory agencies
                        in order to obtain patents, provided that such
                        disclosure may be made only to the extent reasonably
                        necessary to obtain such patents or authorizations, and
                        further provided that any such patent applications shall
                        be filed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
                        or

                (vi)    required by law, regulation, rule, act or order of any
                        governmental authority to be disclosed.

        b.      The Receiving Party agrees that at all times and notwithstanding
any termination, expiration, or cancellation hereunder, it will hold the
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence, and will
use all reasonable safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure by its
employees and agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties recognize that
industry standards with respect to the treatment of Confidential Information may
not be appropriate in an academic setting. However, MSSM agrees to retain
Confidential Information of PHMD in the same manner and with the same level of
confidentiality as MSSM retains its own Confidential Information.

        c.      The Receiving Party will maintain reasonable procedures to
prevent accidental or other loss, including unauthorized publication of any
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will
promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any loss or unauthorized
disclosure of the Confidential Information.

<PAGE>

        d.      Upon written request, the Receiving Party will promptly return
to the Disclosing Party all documents or other tangible materials representing
Confidential Information and all copies thereof.

        e.      The Receiving Party will immediately notify the Disclosing Party
in writing, if it is requested by a court order, a governmental agency, or any
other entity to disclose Confidential Information in the Receiving Party's
possession. The Disclosing Party will have an opportunity to intervene by
seeking a protective order or other similar order, in order to limit or prevent
disclosure of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will disclose
only the minimum Confidential Information required to be disclosed in order to
comply, whether or not a protective order or other similar order is obtained by
the Disclosing Party.

7.      Development and Commercialization.
        ---------------------------------

        a.      PHMD undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to
promote the regular commercial production, use, and sale of the Licensed
Products and Services and otherwise commercialize the Licensed Products and
Services in the Field.

        b.      Without limiting the foregoing, PHMD shall spend no less than
$150,000 in the first 12 months following the Effective Date in promotion of the
XTRAC laser for use in the treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo. Out of such
expenditures, PHMD may pay travel expenses and honoraria of MSSM personnel who
independently agree to join such promotion efforts, including for example
distinguishing the superiority of the use of XTRAC lasers for the treatment of
psoriasis and vitiligo over non-laser, or so-called "lamp", alternatives and in
assisting in procuring vitiligo-specific CPT codes; provided that neither such
MSSM personnel nor PHMD shall use the name of MSSM in any such promotion efforts
in violation of the provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement.

        c.      Within sixty (60) days after each anniversary of the Effective
Date, PHMD shall provide MSSM with written reports on all activities and actions
undertaken by PHMD to commercialize the Licensed Products and Services during
the preceding twelve (12) month period.

8.      Patent Rights.
        -------------

        a.      If either party to this Agreement acquires information that a
third party is infringing one or more of the Patent Rights, the party acquiring
such information shall promptly notify the other party to Agreement in writing
of such infringement.

        b.      In the event of infringement of the Patent Rights, PHMD shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against the infringer.
Should PHMD elect to bring suit against an infringer and MSSM is joined as party
plaintiff in any such suit, MSSM shall have the right to approve the counsel
selected by PHMD to represent PHMD, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld. The expenses of such suit or suits that PHMD elects to bring,
including any expenses of MSSM incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of
such suit or the settlement thereof, shall be paid for entirely by PHMD and PHMD
shall hold MSSM free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of
such litigation, including attorney's fees. PHMD shall not compromise or settle
such litigation without the prior written consent of MSSM which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

<PAGE>

        c.      If PHMD shall undertake the enforcement or defense of the Patent
Rights by litigation, PHMD may withhold Royalties otherwise thereafter due MSSM
hereunder and apply the same toward reimbursement of [redacted], including
reasonable attorney's fees, in connection therewith, provided, however, that in
no event shall such withholding reduce the amount of the Royalty otherwise
payable by PHMD by [redacted].

        d.      If PHMD exercises its right to sue, it shall first reimburse
itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all
costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, necessarily involved in the prosecution of any such suit, and if after
such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, the amount of
said funds shall be added to the amount of Net Sales for the calendar quarter in
which such recovery was made.

        e.      If PHMD does not bring suit against said infringer pursuant to
subsection b, above, or has not commenced negotiations with said infringer for
discontinuance of said infringement, within ninety (90) days after receipt of
such notice, MSSM shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit
for such infringement and to join PHMD as a party plaintiff, in which event MSSM
shall hold PHMD free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs and
expenses of such litigation, including attorneys' fees. In the event MSSM brings
suit for infringement of the Patent Rights, MSSM shall have the right to first
reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or settlement thereof
for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable
attorneys' fees necessarily involved in the prosecution of such suit, and if
after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, MSSM shall
promptly pay to PHMD an amount equal [redacted] and MSSM shall be entitled to
receive and retain the balance of the remainder of such recovery.

        f.      Each party shall have the right to be represented by counsel of
its own selection, at its sole expense, in any suit for infringement of the
Patent Rights instituted by the other party to this Agreement under the terms
hereof.

        g.      PHMD shall cooperate fully with MSSM at the request of MSSM,
including, by giving testimony and producing documents lawfully requested in the
course of a suit prosecuted by MSSM for infringement of the Patent Rights;
provided MSSM shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by PHMD in connection with such cooperation. MSSM shall cooperate with
PHMD in the prosecution of a suit by PHMD for infringement of the Patent Rights,
provided that PHMD shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
involved in such cooperation.

9.      Liability and Indemnification.
        -----------------------------

        a.      PHMD shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MSSM and its
trustees, officers, directors, medical and professional staff, employees,
students and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the
"Indemnitees"), against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed
upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits,
actions, demands or judgments: (i) arising out of the design, production,
manufacture, sale, use in commerce or in human clinical trials, lease, or
promotion by PHMD or by a licensee, Affiliate or agent of PHMD of any Licensed
Product and Service, or (ii) arising out of any other activities to be carried
out pursuant to this Agreement.

        b.      PHMD's indemnification under Section 9.a(i), above, shall apply
to any liability, damage, loss or expense whether or not it is attributable to
the negligent activities of the Indemnitees. PHMD's indemnification under
Section 9.a(ii), above, shall not apply to any liability, damage, loss or
expense to the extent that it is attributable to the gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees.

        c.      PHMD shall, at its own expense, provide attorneys reasonably
acceptable to MSSM to defend against any actions brought or filed against any
party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained
herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

and expense, procure and maintain policies of comprehensive general liability
insurance in amounts not less than five million ($5,000,000) dollars per
incident and five million ($5,000,000) dollars annual aggregate and naming the
Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such comprehensive general liability
insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) broad form
contractual liability coverage for PHMD's indemnification under Section 9 of
this Agreement. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this
Section 10 shall not be construed as a limit of PHMD's liability with respect to
its indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement.

        b.      PHMD shall provide MSSM with written evidence of such insurance
upon request of MSSM. PHMD shall provide MSSM with written notice at least sixty
(60) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such
insurance; if PHMD does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable
coverage within such sixty (60) day period effective immediately upon notice to
PHMD, MSSM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end
of such sixty (60) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

        c.      PHMD shall maintain such comprehensive general liability
insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during: (i) the
period that any product, process or service, relating to, or developed pursuant
to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the
purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by PHMD or by a sub-licensee,
Affiliate or agent of PHMD, and (ii) a reasonable period after the period
referred to in (c)(i) above which in no event shall be less than seven years.

James Corcoran

 

Dear James,

Congratulations! On behalf of Washington Mutual, Inc. ("Washington Mutual" or "the Company"), I am pleased to offer you the position of President, Retail Banking, with a Corporate title of Executive Vice President, pending approval by the Board of Directors. We
currently expect that you will start on or before May 15, 2006 in our Seattle office, subject to your release by your present employer. You will report directly to Steve Rotella. This letter outlines the terms of your new position.  In addition to this letter,
you will receive the Company’s standard change in control agreement (entitled “Employment Agreement”), which becomes effective only upon a change in control as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement.  The terms of employment set forth
in this letter are binding upon the Company notwithstanding Section 14(a) of the Employment Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth below, however, in the event of any inconsistencies between this letter and the Employment Agreement, the Employment Agreement
shall control. 

Duties

You will initially have the title of President, Retail Banking, and will be responsible to perform all of the duties currently associated with that position.  However, you may, from time to time, be
required to perform such other duties as the Chairman, the President or the Board of Directors of the Company may direct, provided that either those additional duties are consistent with your background, skills and experience or you and the Company mutually agree
upon those additional duties.   The provisions of this paragraph modify the terms set forth in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement.

Compensation

Your starting base salary will be $600,000.00.

At Washington Mutual we've made pay for performance the foundation of our compensation strategy. One of the ways that we reward top performers is through our bonus program. Your annualized bonus target will be 133.5% of your salary. You will be entitled to a full
year’s bonus in respect of 2006.  The bonus you actually receive will be based on the Company's performance.  Of course, Washington Mutual reserves the right to change the bonus plan at any time.

Signing Bonus

In appreciation of your decision to join us, the Company will pay you a one-time signing bonus of $1,500,000.00.  The bonus (minus all federal and state withholding) will be paid to you within 30 days of your start date, provided that you are employed by the
Company on that date.  If you voluntarily terminate employment within 24 months of your start date, you agree to repay a pro-rated share of the signing bonus. 

 

WaMu Equity

WaMu Equity is an important part of your total rewards package. As a valued member of our leadership team, you will be eligible to participate in the relevant Washington Mutual equity incentive plans.

As part of your new hire package, you will be granted options to purchase 83,333 shares of Washington Mutual common stock. The grant date will be specified in the Option Agreement. These stock options vest over three years, 1/3 each year beginning on the one year
anniversary of the grant date, subject to your continued employment by Washington Mutual. The price at which you may exercise your options will be the stock's fair market value at the close of market on the day before the grant date. Stock options are granted under
the Washington Mutual, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") and are subject to the provisions of that plan. These terms and other relevant terms of options awarded to you will be set forth in your Option Agreement.

As part of your new hire package, you will also be awarded $750,000 worth of Washington Mutual restricted stock.  You cannot sell or transfer the restricted stock until the restrictions lapse.  The
restrictions lapse ratably over three years (1/3 on each anniversary) after the date of the award, provided that you remain employed by Washington Mutual. The number of shares will be dependent upon the market value at the time of the award. These terms and other
relevant terms of your award will be set forth in the Agreement.  The restricted stock will be awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan, and pursuant to that plan, if your employment by Washington Mutual ends, you will forfeit all restricted stock on which the
restrictions have not yet lapsed.

You will be eligible to be considered for equity awards each year during our performance review process in January. Future awards are not guaranteed; they are granted at the discretion of the Human Resource
Committee of the Board and are based on your performance and anticipated future contributions to our company.

Benefits

We currently offer both a 401(k) plan ("WaMu Savings") and a cash balance pension plan ("WaMu Pension"). WaMu Savings allows you to save for retirement by contributing up to 75 percent of your eligible compensation (subject to IRS limitations) to the Plan on a pretax
basis. You are eligible to join WaMu Savings as of your date of hire. Washington Mutual matches your pretax contributions to WaMu Savings effective the first day of the month after you have completed twelve months of service. The matching contribution is currently
100% on the first 3% of your eligible compensation that you contribute plus 50% on the next 2% of your eligible compensation that you contribute. You are immediately vested in your contributions, rollover contributions into the Plan, and company matching
contributions. You are also automatically eligible for benefit accruals under the WaMu Pension as of the first day of the quarter following your one year anniversary. Washington Mutual reserves the right to amend or terminate these Plans at any time.  The
Washington Mutual Flexible Benefit Program offers many choices, including medical and dental coverage, that allow you to create a benefits package tailored to your needs. Your flexible benefits are effective the first day of the month following your first 10 days of
service with us. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company agrees to provide health, medical and life insurance coverage for you when your benefits provided by your previous employer ends.  If you have any questions you may contact the employee service center
at (866) 492-6847.

 

Relocation

Washington Mutual also offers a comprehensive relocation package. For a complete overview of the relocation benefits available to you please refer to the attached relocation document. If you voluntarily terminate employment within 24 months of your start date, you
agree to repay the entire relocation benefit and relocation bonus.

Change in Control

You will receive Washington Mutual's standard agreement providing severance benefits in the event of termination in connection with a future change in control (as defined in the agreement). This agreement will provide payment of an amount equal to 3.00 times your
annual compensation and accelerated vesting of your stock options upon a termination for any reason other than for cause or upon resignation for good cause (as those terms are defined in the agreement) within three years following such a change in control. Annual
compensation will be defined in the agreement, but generally includes all items of compensation for the calendar year other than the value of grants of equity rights.

Additional Provisions

When you accept our offer, you will be employed at will, meaning that either you or the Company may terminate our relationship at any time for any reason, without cause or advance notice. No representations to the contrary are effective unless in writing and approved
by the Board of Directors.
