Sounds like a full on rights grab to me, see these terms all the time in music photography & walk away.
If you are happy to give your work away & then see it exploited by a global brand for their benefit, believe me they will exploit it & re-licence it through other photo agencies, with no benefit to you, then give them it, on the other hand if you think like I do they are taking the Michael out of photographers then give them a wide birth.

The 55mm 1.4 would be an ideal candidate, I would also buy the 35mm 2.4 in a metal mounted DA version. This should be really easy to do, they have all the parts & I guess it wouldn't be hard to change the parts on a production line.
Then they could look at doing a longer lens, like others have said an 80-400mm.
I really do not see the profitability in doing lenses 500mm or longer for Pentax...
