                                     FORM OF
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 21 day of January
2002, by and between FIRST HORIZON PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and             ("Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive
desires to accept such employment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and mutual agreements
set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree
as follows:

1.       Employment. Throughout the Term (as defined in Section 2 below), the
         Company shall employ Executive as provided herein, and Executive hereby
         accepts such employment. In accepting such employment, Executive states
         that, to the best of his knowledge, he is not now, and by accepting
         such employment, will not be, under any restrictions in the performance
         of the duties contemplated under this Agreement as a result of the
         provisions of any prior employment agreement or non-compete or similar
         agreement to which Executive is or was a party.

2.       Term of Employment. Subject to approval of this Agreement by the
         Company's Board of Directors, the term of Executive's employment by the
         Company hereunder shall commence on January 1st, 2002 (the "Effective
         Date") and shall continue thereafter unless sooner terminated as a
         result of Executive's death or in accordance with the provisions of
         Section 7 below (the "Term").

3.       Duties. Throughout the Term, and except as otherwise expressly provided
         herein, Executive shall be employed by the Company as the          . In
         such capacity, Executive shall be responsible for           . Without
         limiting the generality of the foregoing, throughout the Term Executive
         shall faithfully perform his duties as        at all times so as to
         promote the best interests of the Company. In addition, upon approval
         of this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall elect Executive as an
         officer of the Company at its first board meeting after the Effective
         Date.

4.       Compensation.

         (a)      Salary. For any and all services performed by Executive under
                  this Agreement during the Term, in whatever capacity, the
                  Company shall pay to Executive an annual salary of
                                        per year (the "Salary") less any and all
                  applicable federal, state and local payroll and withholding
                  taxes. The Salary shall be paid in the same increments as the
                  Company's normal payroll, but no less frequent than bi-monthly
                  and prorated, however, for any period of less than a full
                  month. The Salary will be reviewed annually by the
                  Compensation Committee of the Board and a determination shall
                  be made at that time as to the appropriateness of an increase,
                  if any, thereto.

         (b)      Bonus. In addition to the Salary, Executive shall be eligible
                  to receive from the Company an incentive compensation bonus
                  (the "Bonus") based on a percentage of his Salary, which
                  percentage, however, shall in no event exceed     % of the
                  Executive's Salary. The Bonus, if any, shall be determined
                  based on such criteria as shall be determined from time to
                  time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
                  The nature of the criteria and the determination as to whether
                  the criteria have been satisfied, shall be determined by the
                  Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion.
                  Accordingly, there is no assurance that a Bonus will be paid
                  to Executive with respect to all or any particular year during
                  the Term.

5.       Benefits and Other Rights. In consideration for Executive's performance
         under this Agreement, the Company shall provide to Executive the
         following benefits:

         (a)      The Company will provide Executive with cash advances for or
                  reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket business
                  expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his
                  employment hereunder. Such reimbursement, however, is
                  conditioned upon Executive adhering to any and all reasonable
                  policies established by Company from time to time with respect
                  to such reimbursements or advances, including, but not limited
                  to, a requirement that Executive submit supporting evidence of
                  any such expenses to the Company.

         (b)      A company car, gasoline charge card and car maintenance plan
                  will be provided to Executive and paid for by the Company
                  during the term.

         (c)      The Company will provide Executive and his family with the
                  opportunity to receive group medical coverage under the terms
                  of the Company's health insurance plan, but subject to
                  completion of normal waiting periods. During any such waiting
                  period, the Company will pay, or reimburse Executive for, the
                  cost of COBRA coverage for Executive and his family under his
                  prior health plan.

         (d)      During the Term the Executive shall be entitled to       days
                  paid vacation, it being understood and agreed that unused
                  vacation shall not be carried over from

<PAGE>

                  one year to the next. In addition, Executive shall be
                  entitled to eight (8) paid holidays and four (4) paid personal
                  days off.

6.       Options. The Company has previously granted to the Executive attached
         options pursuant to the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the
         "Option Plan"). The options vest at the rate of 25% of granted options
         per year on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant
         with an exercise price equal to the average of the high and low share
         price as of the date of grant. Such options also provide that upon a
         "Change of Control" (as herein defined) all such options shall become
         fully vested and immediately exercisable. For purposes of this
         Agreement, a Change of Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the
         following events: (a) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
         Company in which the Company does not survive as an independent entity;
         (b) a sale of all or substantially all of tile assets of the Company;
         (c) the first purchase of shares of common stock of the Company
         pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for more than a majority of the
         Company's outstanding shares of common stock by any person other than
         John N. Kapoor or an entity affiliated with or controlled by John N.
         Kapoor; or (d) any change of control of a nature that would, in the
         opinion of the Board of Directors, be required to be reported under the
         federal securities laws, provided that such a change of control shall
         be deemed to have occurred if (i) any person, other than John N. Kapoor
         or an entity affiliated with or controlled by John N. Kapoor, is or
         becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
         the Company representing at least a majority of the combined voting
         power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (ii) during any
         period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of
         such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company cease for
         any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election of any
         director, who was not a director at the beginning of the period, was
         approved by a vote of at least 80% of the directors then still in
         office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

7.       Termination of the Term.

         (a)      The Company shall have the right to terminate the Term under
                  the following circumstances:

                  (i)      Executive shall die; or

                  (ii)     With or without Cause, effective upon written notice
                           to Executive by the Company.

         (b)      This Agreement may be terminated by the Executive at any time
                  upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Company.

         (c)      For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:

                  (i)      Executive shall be convicted of the commission of a
                           felony or a crime involving dishonesty, fraud or
                           moral turpitude;

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     Executive has engaged in acts of fraud, embezzlement,
                           theft or other dishonest acts against the Company;

                  (iii)    Executive commits an act which negatively impacts the
                           Company or its employees including, but not limited
                           to, engaging in competition with the Company,
                           disclosing confidential information or engaging in
                           sexual harassment, discrimination or other human
                           rights-type violations;

                  (iv)     Executive's gross neglect or willful misconduct in
                           the discharge of his duties and responsibilities; or

                  (v)      Executive's repeated refusal to follow the lawful
                           direction of the Board of Directors or supervising
                           officers.

8.       Effect of Expiration or Termination of the Term. Promptly following the
         termination of the Term, and except as otherwise expressly agreed to by
         the Company in writing, Executive shall

         (a)      Immediately resign from any and all other positions or
                  committees which Executive holds or is a member of with the
                  Company or any subsidiary of the Company including, but not
                  limited to, as an officer and director of the Company or any
                  subsidiary of the Company.

         (b)      provide the Company with all reasonable assistance necessary
                  to permit the Company to continue its business operations
                  without interruption and in a manner consistent with
                  reasonable business practices; provided, however, that such
                  transition period shall not exceed thirty (30) days after
                  termination nor require more than twenty (20) hours of
                  Executive's time per week and Executive shall be promptly
                  reimbursed for all out-of-pocket Expenses.

         (c)      deliver to the Company possession of any and all property
                  owned or leased by the Company which may then be in
                  Executive's possession or under his control, including,
                  without limitation, any and all such keys, credit cards,
                  automobiles, equipment, supplies, books, records, files,
                  computer equipment, computer software and other such tangible
                  and intangible property of any description whatsoever. If,
                  following the expiration or termination of the Term, Executive
                  shall receive any mail addressed to the Company, then
                  Executive shall immediately deliver such mail, unopened and in
                  its original envelope or package, to the Company; and

         (d)      Other than as provided in this Section 8, upon a termination
                  of employment all other benefits and/or entitlements to
                  participate in programs or benefits, if any, will cease as of
                  the effective date except medical insurance coverage that may
                  be continued at Executive's own expense as provided by
                  applicable law or written Company policy.

<PAGE>

         (e)      Upon termination of Executive pursuant to ss. 7(a)(i)
                  or ss. 7(a)(ii) without Cause, the Company shall: (i) provide
                  Executive with Salary continuance, subject to ss. 8(g) for
                         months (a "Salary Continuance"), plus (ii) a lump sum
                  payment equal to        percent of the Bonus, if any, paid to
                  Executive for the calendar year immediately preceding
                  termination, plus (iii) provide        months of COBRA
                  coverage for Executive which shall be substantially equivalent
                  to that provided by the Company prior to termination, plus
                  (iv) provide         months of car allowance at
                  dollars per month, subject to return of existing company
                  vehicle at time of termination, plus (v) all of Executive's
                  then unvested options previously issued pursuant to the
                  Company Option Plan shall immediately vest and be exercisable
                  as herein provided.

         (f)      Upon termination of Executive pursuant to ss. 7(a)(ii) with
                  Cause or ss. 7(b), the Company shall pay Executive or
                  Executive's estate all Salary accrued but unpaid as of the
                  date of such termination.

         (g)      In the event that Executive shall be entitled to receive a
                  Salary Continuance and COBRA benefit pursuant to ss. 8(e),
                  such Salary Continuance and COBRA benefit shall continue only
                  until such time as Executive shall have accepted another full
                  time position. In addition, in the event that Executive shall
                  perform consulting or other services for which he shall
                  receive compensation, all compensation shall be reported to
                  the Company and shall be offset against any remaining Salary
                  Continuance payments. Failure of Executive to promptly report
                  the receipt of any compensation from a third party or the
                  acceptance of a new position shall entitle the Company to
                  terminate all remaining Salary Continuance and COBRA benefits
                  and to seek restitution for any payments made to Executive
                  subsequent to such job acceptance or compensation receipt;

         (h)      Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any
                  reason, Executive, or Executive's estate, will have a period
                  of 90 days from the date of such expiration or termination in
                  which to exercise any vested option.

         (i)      Any dollar amounts which are to be paid at the time of
                  termination under this Section 8, other than Salary
                  Continuance, the car allowance and COBRA payments, shall be
                  paid within thirty (30) days after the date of termination.
                  Any Salary Continuance or COBRA payments shall be made in
                  accordance with the usual payroll practices which were
                  applicable prior to termination. Any and all payments made
                  pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of any and all
                  applicable federal, state and local payroll and withholding
                  taxes.

9.       Restrictive Covenants for Executive. Executive hereby covenants and
         agrees with the Company that for so long as Executive is employed by
         the Company and for a period (the "Restricted Period") of thirty six
         (36) months thereafter, Executive shall not, without the prior written
         consent of the Company, which consent shall be within the sole and
         exclusive discretion of the Company either directly or indirectly on
         his own account or as an executive, consultant, agent, partner, joint
         venturer, owner, officer, director or

<PAGE>

         shareholder of any other person, firm, corporation, partnership,
         limited liability company or other entity, or in any other capacity, in
         any way:

         (a)      Carry on, be engaged in or have any financial interest in any
                  business which is in competition with the business of the
                  Company. For purposes of this Section 9, a business shall be
                  deemed to be in competition with the Company if it involves
                  research and development work involving products, including,
                  but not limited to, generic drug products, which were, at the
                  time of termination, being marketed by the Company or which at
                  such time were under study by the Company and expected to be
                  marketed within six (6) months of the date of termination.
                  Nothing in this Section 9(a) shall be construed so as to
                  preclude Executive from investing in any publicly held
                  company, provided Executive's beneficial ownership of any
                  class of such company's securities does not exceed 5% of the
                  outstanding securities of such class.

         (b)      solicit any current supplier, customer or client of the
                  Company or any affiliate of the Company or anyone who was a
                  supplier, customer or client at any time during the twelve
                  (12) month period immediately preceding termination, excluding
                  customers such as wholesalers, managed care agencies,
                  shippers, commercial and investment banks, IR/PR agencies,
                  scientific and computer consultants, lawyers and
                  manufacturers, as long as manufacturers have extra capacity,
                  provided, however, that where minimum alternative allocation
                  sources would not b available, requests for exceptions to this
                  restriction will be determined by the Company on a case by
                  case basis; or

         (c)      solicit, employ, or engage any person who was an employee of
                  the Company or any affiliate of the Company at any time during
                  the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
                  termination.

10.      Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that during the period of
         his employment by the Company, and in his performance of services
         hereunder, he will be placed in a relationship of trust and confidence
         regarding the Company and its affairs. In the course of the aforesaid
         relationship, he will have access to and will acquire confidential
         information relating to the business and operations of the Company,
         including, without limitation, information which constitutes "trade
         secrets", as that term is defined in the Georgia Trade Secrets Act of
         1990 as amended. The Executive acknowledges that any such information,
         including information that may not constitute a trade secret,
         nonetheless constitutes confidential information as between himself and
         the Company, that the disclosure thereof (or of any information which
         he knows relates to confidential, trade, or other secret aspects of the
         Company's business) would cause substantial loss to the goodwill of the
         Company, and will continue to be made known to Executive only because
         of the position of trust and confidence which he will continue to
         occupy hereunder. In view of the foregoing, and in consideration of the
         covenants and premises of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that he
         will not, at any time during the term of his employment, and for a
         period of sixty (60) months thereafter, disclose to any person, firm or
         company any trade secrets or confidential information or such ideas
         which he

         may have acquired or developed or may acquire or develop relating to
         the business of the Company while serving the Company.

11.      Remedies.

         (a)      The covenants of Executive set forth in Section 9 and Section
                  10 are separate and independent covenants for which valuable
                  consideration has been paid, the receipt, adequacy and
                  sufficiency of which are acknowledged by Executive, and have
                  also been made by Executive to induce the Company to enter
                  into this Agreement and continue Executive's employment with
                  the Company. Each of the aforesaid covenants may be availed
                  of, or relied upon, by the Company in any court of competent
                  jurisdiction, and shall form the basis of injunctive relief
                  and damages including expenses of litigation (including, but
                  not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees upon trial and
                  appeal) suffered by the Company arising out of any breach of
                  the aforesaid covenants by Executive. The covenants of
                  Executive set forth in this Section 11 are cumulative to each
                  other and to all other covenants of Executive in favor of the
                  Company contained in this Agreement and shall survive the
                  termination of this Agreement for the purposes intended.

         (b)      Each of the covenants contained in Section 9 and Section 10
                  above shall be construed as agreements which are independent
                  of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of
                  any claim or cause of action by any party hereto against any
                  other party hereto, of whatever nature, shall not constitute a
                  defense to the enforcement of such covenants. If any of such
                  covenants shall be deemed unenforceable by virtue of its scope
                  in terms of geographical area, length of time or otherwise,
                  but may be made enforceable by the imposition of limitations
                  thereon, Executive agrees that the same shall be enforceable
                  to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public
                  policies of the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
                  The parties hereto hereby authorize any court of competent
                  jurisdiction to modify or reduce the scope of such covenants
                  to the extent necessary to make such covenants enforceable.

         (c)      In the event that Executive believes that the Company is in
                  violation of a material obligation owed to Executive under
                  this Agreement, and the Executive has given notice of such
                  violation to the Company requesting that the Company cure such
                  violation, and within twenty (20) business days the Company
                  has not undertaken steps to cure such violation or to provide
                  information to Executive demonstrating that the Company is not
                  in violation of the Agreement, and as a result of such failure
                  to cure or dispute such violation, the Executive terminates
                  the Agreement in accordance with Section 7(b), Executive shall
                  not be barred from seeking employment with a competitor
                  notwithstanding the restriction of Section 8(a); provided,
                  however, that all other restrictions contained in this
                  Agreement, including, but not limited to, the covenants in
                  Section 8(b) and in Section 9, shall remain in full force and
                  effect.

12.      Enforcement Costs. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought
         for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged
         dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any
         provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or
         parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees, court
         costs and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs (including,
         without limitation, all such fees, costs and expenses incident to
         appeal and other post judgment proceedings), incurred in that action or
         proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party or
         parties may be entitled. Attorneys fees shall include, without
         limitation, paralegal fees, investigative fees, administrative costs,
         sales and use taxes and all other charges billed by the attorney to the
         prevailing party.

15.      Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
         hereof shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision
         hereof, and except as otherwise provided in Section 11 above, any such
         invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from this
         Agreement.

16.      Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms
         or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term or
         condition, and the waiver or relinquishment of any right or remedy
         hereunder at any one or more times shall not be deemed a waiver or
         relinquishment of such right or remedy at any other time or times.

17.      Arbitration. Any claims, disputes or controversies arising out of or
         relating to this Agreement between the parties (other than those
         arising under Section 11) shall be submitted to arbitration by the
         parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia in
         accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then
         in existence and the following provisions: Either party may serve upon
         the other party by guaranteed overnight delivery by a nationally
         recognized express delivery service, written demand that the dispute,
         specifying in detail its nature, be submitted to arbitration. Within

         delivery service, of such appointment upon the other party. The two
         arbitrators appointed shall appoint a third arbitrator. The decision of
         two arbitrators in writing under oath shall be final and binding upon
         the parties. The arbitrators shall decide who is to pay the expenses of
         the arbitration. If the two arbitrators appointed fail to agree upon a
         third arbitrator within ten days after their appointment, then an
         application may be made by either party, upon notice to the other
         party, to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
         third arbitrator, and any such appointment shall be binding upon both
         parties.

18.      Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
         parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
         the law of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflicts of
         laws provisions. Each party hereto hereby (a) agrees that any
         litigation which may be initiated with respect to this Agreement or to
         enforce rights granted hereunder shall be initiated in a court located
         in Fulton County, Georgia and (b) consents to personal jurisdiction of
         such courts for such purpose.

         and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. The
         rights and obligations of Executive hereunder are personal to him, and
