                           --------------------------

1.       PURPOSE

         The Chattem, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan--2005 (the "2005 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 2005 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 2005 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.

management employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, including officers who,
in the judgment of the Committee, have a substantial impact on the Company's
attainment of corporate goals. All determinations by the Committee as to the
identity of the persons to whom Options and Other Plan Grants shall be granted
hereunder shall be conclusive.

         The Committee may make such grants under the 2005 Plan as in its
discretion it deems advisable to effectuate the purpose of the Plan, including

Non-Qualified Stock Options, and Other Plan Grants, which may include Restricted
Stock and Stock Appreciation Rights or other types of awards. Such grants may be
issued separately, in combination, or in tandem, and additional grants may be
issued in combination or in tandem with grants previously issued under the 2005
Plan or otherwise. As used in the 2005 Plan, references to grants in tandem
shall mean grants consisting of more than one type of grant where the exercise
of one element of the grant effects the cancellation of one or more other

                    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.

              (iii) Appropriate officers of the Company are hereby authorized to
                    execute and deliver Option Agreements in the name of the

         (b)  OPTION PRICE. The Option price to be paid by the Optionee to the
              Company for each Share purchased upon the exercise of the Option
              shall be determined by the Committee and 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.

         (c)  TERM OF OPTION; EXERCISE OF OPTION.

              (i)   Each Option granted under the 2005 Plan shall be exercisable
                    as provided in this Section 8(c). In no event may an Option
                    be exercised before the approval of the 2005 Plan by the
                    shareholders of the Company at the meeting within the period
                    specified by Section 3 hereof. The Term of each Option shall
                    extend for a period of no more than 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 at such time or times,
                    and on such conditions, as the Committee may specify.
                    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
                    provisions of Section 8(e). In addition, to the extent that
                    the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of
                    grant) of Company common stock with respect to which
                    Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
                    by any Optionee during any calendar year under all plans of
                    the Company exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000),
                    the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit
                    (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be
                    treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. When exercising an
                    Option, the Optionee may purchase less than the full number
                    of Shares then available under the Option.

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

<PAGE>
                    (1)  a notice, in the form and in the manner prescribed by
                         the Committee, specifying the number of Shares to be
                         purchased, and

                    (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 2005 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 value of
                         any Shares tendered in accordance with this Section
                         8(c) (iii) shall be determined on the basis of their
                         Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

              (iv)  Subject to the provisions of Section 8(d) hereof, upon
                    receipt of the notice of exercise and upon payment of the
                    Option price, the Company shall promptly deliver to the
                    Optionee a certificate or certificates for the Shares
                    purchased, without charge to the Optionee for issue or
                    transfer tax.

                    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 nor its directors or
                    officers shall have any obligation or liability to the
                    Optionee or to a Beneficiary with respect to any Shares as
                    to which the option shall lapse because of such
                    postponement.

              (ii)  Except with the prior written approval of the Committee, all
                    Options granted under the 2005 Plan shall be nontransferable
                    other than by will or by the laws of descent and
                    distribution in accordance with Section 8(e)(i)

                    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(e) (i) 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

                    Subsidiary shall cease due to the Optionee's death, any
                    Option held by the Optionee on the date of the 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 (ii) 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 (iii) 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 (ii) or
                    Paragraph (iii), 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.

                                        7
<PAGE>
              (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 the expiration date thereof specified in the Option
                    Agreement.

              (vi)  TERMINATION FOR OTHER REASONS. Upon termination of an
                    Optionee's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for
                    any reason other than those specified in Paragraphs (i)
                    through (v) above, the Optionee may exercise the Option (to
                    the extent vested) at any time within thirty (30) days after
                    such termination; provided, however, that in no event shall
                    the Option be exercisable after the expiration date thereof
                    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 2005 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.

9.       RESTRICTED STOCK

         The Committee may issue Restricted Stock upon such terms and conditions
as it may determine from time to time. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be
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 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

                                        8
<PAGE>
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. A 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 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 2005 PLAN

         The Committee may at any time terminate, suspend, amend or modify the
2005 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

                                        9
<PAGE>
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
2005 Plan. No termination, suspension or modification of the 2005 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 2005 PLAN

         Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 14 hereof, the 2005
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
8(c) hereof or the vesting of previously granted Other Plan Grants.

16.      GOVERNING LAW

         The 2005 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.

                   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION GRANT

     The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of
Chattem, Inc. ("Chattem") has been designated to administer the Chattem, Inc.
Stock Incentive Plan - 2005 (the "Plan") and has selected you ("Optionee") to
receive a stock option grant as detailed in the attached Grant Agreement:

o    The Option evidenced by the Grant Agreement shall become exercisable in
     accordance with the vesting schedule shown in the Grant Agreement and
     outlined in the Plan.

o    The option hereby granted may be exercised by Optionee at such time or
     times, in whole or in part(s) to the extent then vested, as Optionee may
     select provided that such option is exercised not later than seven (7)
     years from the date of grant.

o    Exercise of the option hereby granted shall be on such forms as may then be
     prescribed by the Committee, shall specify the number of shares being
     purchased and shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash, or the
     equivalent thereof, or, alternatively, the tender of properly endorsed
     certificates of common shares of Chattem's capital stock whose Fair Market
     Value under the rules established by the Committee on the date of tender is
     equal to the balance of the option purchase price or (in the discretion of
     the Committee) an irrevocable notice of sale delivered to a broker, in form
     and content acceptable to the Committee, instructing the broker to remit
     the exercise price to the Company together with any applicable withholding
     taxes.

o    The options hereby granted are non-transferable except under the limited
     circumstances specified in the Plan in the event of death.

o    All options not yet exercised shall immediately cease and terminate thirty
     (30) days after Optionee ceases to be employed by Chattem, or any of its
     subsidiaries or affiliates, for any reason other than death, disability,
     retirement, divestiture of a subsidiary (or significant business unit) or a
     leave of absence approved by the Committee under the terms of the Plan.

o    The option hereby granted is subject to all the provisions and limitations
     of the Plan which, in the event of any conflict with the provisions
     contained herein or the Grant Agreement, shall control. Limitations
     contained in the Plan upon the options hereby granted, in addition to those
     specified above, include but are not limited to the following: (1) rules
     and regulations established by the Committee; (2) the Company's ability to
     suspend the Plan due to the adverse impact of any Federal or State law or
     regulation affecting the securities to be sold under the Plan or the
     taxable effect upon the Company arising out of the sale of the security
     under the option; and (3) adjustments due to recapitalization, merger,
     consolidation or reorganization.

o    The option hereby granted has been conditioned upon compliance with the
     provisions of Rule 16(b)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
     in the event prior to exercise it is subsequently determined that the
     exemption provided by said rule is inapplicable to the Plan, then the
     option hereby granted shall be deemed to be null and void to the extent
     permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
